It's good to be back. mmmhmm. Classes started yesterday. It was a busy day. I had calc II in the morning. I'm going in with a better attitude, so it should go better than last time... RDA II (psych research class) seems like it will go well. The prof seems really nice, and I liked RDA I (don't tell anyone though, b/c they'll think I'm weird. ;) lol). Ecology seems like it's going to rock as well. I felt smart in lab b/c I knew a bunch of answers to the prof's questions. yay me. And at our KD meeting, I was elected as the junior standards board position, which is like the sophomore standards position I had last year, except I'm a year older. ;)
Today was my first day back at work. I got a BIG raise! I feel like I should send flowers and a note to whoever pushed for minimum wage to be raised. I now make $7.10/hr. You have no idea how happy I am about that. There was just no way I would've been able to pay all of my bills making $5.35/hr. The work people also got me a new desk. It's big and pretty (as office furniture goes) and has drawers. I told Linda (the secretary) that I feel like I should bring in picture frames to decorate it. I wasn't serious, but she said I probably could. Maybe I'll bring a picture of Matthew McConaughey. hehe.
I'm way excited about my Animal Communication class. It's my first 400 level class. I feel like it's a big milemarker. Anyway, there's only 4 other students in the class, which is pretty cool. I didn't know any of them, but they all seem nice. After class, I went to go visit Dr. McCurdy, who gave me an update on my froggy plasma. Apparently the HPLC machine broke and the lab tech had a hard time fixing it, but it's pretty much fixed now, so I can finally get my analyses done. Dr. McCurdy also told me about a bunch of projects he's thinking of doing in the future, and from what it sounds like, I could have any of them... but I have figure out what I want to do first, so we'll see. I guess he may also have a position open for me this semester to do work in the lab that would count as half of a class. that would be good too.
It's been so great to see all of my Albion people.
And the room is so purdy.
Okay, I'm going to do hw now! yes, I'm even happy to do my hw these past 2 days (sick, I know, I know. lol)

You Are From the Sun

Of all your friends, you're the shining star.
You're dramatic - loving attention and the spotlight.
You're a totally entertainer and the life of the party.
Watch out! The Sun can be stubborn, demanding, and flirty.
Overall, you're a great leader and great friend. The very best!

What Planet Are You From?

okay, okay

2004-10-17T03:20:20Z

Your score is
28/50
what does that mean?
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

Trust...

2004-09-30T00:16:49Z

So I spent the last couple days stressing out about a presentation that I have to give tomorrow. It's supposed to be a group project, but my group wasn't too interested in doing the research last week. So I took that as a sign that they didn't intend on doing any work for it at all. Every group had to set up a time to meet outside of class. They wanted to meet today at 7:30 PM, and the whole project is due tomorrow at 8. Tonight is party night here, so I didn't really think they'd even show up. Well 2 out of the 3 others showed up, and they actually intended on working on the project. They were definitely surprised to find out that I did the entire powerpoint already, by myself. So, I felt a little bad for underestimating (2 of) them. They were so grateful that I did the powerpoint that they said they'd to the group paper that we have to write for Monday. Now, I've done most of the work for this thing, do you think they're going to know what they're talking about? I'm worried that they won't. And the paper is worth a lot more than the presentation. So, I'm faced with a dilemma. Do I trust them, and not worry about it? Or, do I do my own paper, separate from theirs and just hand it in? I actually don't even know if the latter of the two is a possiblity, but I'm sure if I explain to the prof that I don't trust my group, he'd grade mine separate... Is it bad that I don't trust them?

Hair

2004-09-22T13:28:41Z

I'm thinking of doing something different with my hair. Any suggestions? I don't want to go too short, but I sort of want something different. I probably won't have a chance to get it cut for another couple weeks, but if you have any suggestions, please let me know!

Tuesday!

2004-09-21T14:28:45Z

I love Tuesdays. I get to sleep in, and I only have one class today! Still have to go to work, but that's okay, earning money is good. I had plans to get up earlier this morning and get stuff accomplished, but no, that's okay. I needed to sleep in and lounge around the dorm for a little bit. I'm drinking orange juice. It's very good. I should probably get dressed sometime today, but I'm so comfy in my pajamas! I got my Eat Shop card yesterday. Very exciting. It's a card good for $25 worth of food from the Eat Shop, a little deli type of thing on campus. I have not eaten there yet (b/c I would've had to use money), but I hear that it's good. Is it sad that I'm still tired? I'm so lazy. I think I have a soccer game tonight too. I'll wake up for that I'm sure. Maybe I'll to laundry today. I did 2 loads the other day, but I didn't wash any of my t-shirts. Hope I have something to wear for today! Hmm, but there is no dress code at work. I wonder if they'd get mad if I wore my pajama pants w/ hearts on them and my "I survived Camp Tamarack" baseball tee? Probably. Hey, but stuff their dumb envelopes. I think I should at least be comfy while I'm doing it! Eh, whatever, I'll just find something to wear. Better go.

Distractions

2004-09-20T20:25:58Z

I'm mostly writing this journal so I won't have to do homework. Tsk, tsk, I know. Don't yell at me! I almost fell asleep in Anthropology today. It was very warm in the classroom and soooo cozy... made me sleepy. I stayed up later than I planned because the girls across the hall were watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Who can say no to Ferris?! Not me. Love that movie. Matthew Broderick. What he lacks in looks, he makes up in charm.
So I'm looking forward to Friday... and it's only Monday. I'm going to see John Heffron. Very excited. I'm a little worried that things will be different at home though... hmm, yeah, I just won't think about that.
I'm hungry. I can't possibly work on an empty stomach. Well, I guess it's not empty. I'm drinking Pepsi. So it's full of sugar. Nice. Maybe it'll kick in soon, and I'll be awake enough to do homework. Yeah, right.
So what else can I tell you about... oh yeah, I got a warning for a lamp that I have. Apparently, it has halogen in it. I really didn't know that. I really like that lamp too. My desk looks empty with out it. So sad.
I smell hot dogs. Gross! I think the smells from the dining hall are coming through the window.
I can't think of anything else to say right now, so I guess I have to do hw. Ugh...

Trains...

2004-09-20T13:43:16Z

Is it true, if you put a penny on the train tracks, the train will derail? Because I want to squish a penny on the tracks, but I don't want anyone to die in the process. Even if the conductor insists on tooting the horn a bizillion times when he goes past. I don't think I've ever ridden on a train... maybe I will someday... I'll just hop on the train, like they do in movies. It would be an adventure. Cool. Alright, I'm so going to do that, right now! Okay, maybe not, I have classes to go to. Ah, the responsibilities of college life.
So I'm looking forward to work today. Just when I thought that I would never have to bulk mail again, being away from the Arrow and all... oh no no no, I have to stuff envelopes. The process goes: fold, fold, stuff, glue... because they're not THAT cruel as to make me lick every single envelope. I don't really like gluing either, because it gets on my hands.
Well, off to class!

If you're going to call someone in the morning...

2004-09-19T16:55:31Z

If you're going to call someone in the morning, make sure you pay attention to the numbers you're dialing. I got an unscheduled wake up call this morning. I was peacefully sleeping in my bed and then the phone rings. I roll out of bed, literally, and answer the stupid thing, although I don't know if my "Hello" was really understandable. A VERY cheerful (way too cheerful for 9:00 in the morning) lady said "Rise and shine!" and then she just started talking. I don't know what she said. Then she's says, "This is Katie's room isn't it?" Ya know, maybe she should've asked that first instead of squawking morning greetings in my ear. She didn't even apologize for waking me up. I couldn't go back to sleep, which was okay, I guess because I did have plans to go to breakfast at 10. It was my first time getting breakfast here, ever. I don't usually like breakfast foods, but waffles, mangerine oranges and pineapple really hit the spot.
The movie last night, Suspect Zero, was very creepy. It was a suspense/thriller type of movie, which I don't usually do well in, but I was actually okay for this one. It was pretty good. It definitely keeps your attention. I would recommend it to a friend. And I was true to my word, I was not a zebra. We were not led astray on our way home. We had another little dorm room party. No pizza this time though. I like the people here. They make me laugh. We have the weirdest conversations. But don't worry, nobody here will ever replace any of you guys!

Forks, but no food, isn't that the way it goes

2004-09-18T22:29:19Z

I went to a festival in town today called the Festival of Forks. Apparently Albion used to be called Forks, because it is at the fork in the Kalamazoo River. One of my professors mentioned that there is always great food there, so I went, expecting delicious food. But there was no food. No, none at all. I was very disappointed. I'm full now, though, because I just ate dinner in the dining hall. Not bad, but I would've enjoyed festival food a little more. I'm going to the movies tonight, to see Suspect Zero. I have no idea what it's about, but what do I care, it's FREE baby! (College students get in for free). Don't worry we won't be zebras. I should probably explain that, huh? At the beginning of the year, we had to go to a lecture called "Don't be a zebra". It was basically about not putting yourself in bad situations. For example, don't walk alone at night downtown, because you might die, and so on. So our hall has a little saying. "We're not zebras, we be tigers!" It's a battle cry of sorts I guess. So we'll be careful. I'm wearing my shirt with a tiger on it, just so everyone knows that I'm not a zebra, but a tiger.
I did laundry today! I was very excited. It was my first time using the laundry machines here, because I just brought my laundry home for Labor Day last time it needed done. Nothing turned pink! I did good! Aren't you proud?!

hey there!

2004-09-17T20:00:52Z

So this is my first journal entry. I should probably make it good. Hmmm... Today I had class, only one, because the prof didn't show up to the other one. Tonight I'm going to see Alex House, a comedian, perform. Fun stuff. Yesterday I had an IM soccer game. We won! Yay! I have no endurance though. I need to get back into shape! It's cold today... brrrrrr! At work, I got to stuff envelopes going to ALL the schools in Michigan. Who would've thought that there's so many?! It was not very rewarding work. My fingers hurt from folding! Actually they don't. I'm talking to Savannah online right now. Later I'm going with my roomie and her friend from home to see how the construction on the barn is coming. Angel is at home, and unfortunately, she won't be joining me here. Apparently she doesn't want a liberal arts education. That and the tuition (boarding fee) for the barn is too much for me to afford! So she's at home. My sister is taking good care of her though.
