Let the beat from the Speakers run through your Sneakers

So my weekend wasn't as I thought it would be. This morning I had a huge exam in writing. I think my hand was shaking the entire time. I think I should treat myself because I got through day 1 of exams. Because surprise, we have two more exams next week! Went to church yesterday for the first time since the funeral. It was like we were in a mourning period. I got some shoes this weekend. I wore my new flats to class. Bad idea...When I got back to the dorm, the whole back of my pants had blood smears and so did my socks and my shoes (good thing that they were red shoes!) I guess I managed to get 2 blisters on each ankle and have them open. It had been bleeding for like 15 minutes before I noticed it. At least my boots don't give me blisters...

haha

- Get Your Own


Getting ahead of myself...well maybe =)

Feng Shui?

Yesterday me and my roommate rearranged our room. It probably would have been a sight...lol Two petite girls trying to move bunk beds, dressers, desks and all the plugs. OMG I unplugged my surgebar to move it and I plugged it into another outlet and flipped the switch.........Then I screamed bloody murder! lol I guess the outlet was bad and it just exploded....on me...it looked like a fire cracker! It burned my hoodie alittle. I was like ok maybe not that outlet...But its weird, I actaully feel better and when I woke up I felt better. I think its like that feng shui, the art of putting things into a room to create harmony. But there is no way for me to get on my bed....I had to pull out the bottom drawer of the dresser and holst myself up and swing onto the bed......I think I am going to build a ladder. Well I should probably go study like a good college kid.

Monday, Monday

Yea I know, you wish I was your child!

Anyways...

If those 3 or so audio blogs decide to show up, I'm sorry! lol I did one and then my sister called so I was like, do I put audioblogger on hold? lol So I hung up and then it called me!!! I was like Hello? No answer. So I hung up and then did another one. So I don't know how it turned out...lol Surprise it is cold again. OMG did anyone see the game on Saturday?! Greatest comeback in NCAA Divison 1-A football! (and I was there!!!!) Ahhhh! So usually we turn in our math assignments on Wednesday, and so I went to go print mine off to get a head start (or so I thought) and the due date said the 23rd......wait isn't TODAY the 23rd?! lol But as you can see I am still putting it off, by playing on the computer. I have til 4 and there are like 5 questions and I did one. Still have to write my paper. Well I had started it and you know what? My mac froze!!!! I thought it like was above these sorts of things. So I have to start my paper over. Oh well I hadn't done too much on it anyways. Hopefully I'll buy my Mamma Mia tickets today!!!! I have had ABBA songs stuck in my head all week! Coming home this weekend!!!! Yay! Meredith turns 16 on friday, my how they grow up fast. I guess she's having a party or something of that sort. Not sure, all I know is that my mom made my dad paint the basement. lol

Sucker for Ballads

Me and Katie's LAST band concert....:(

I decided while riding the bus today that when I get married I want this to be my wedding song....

"When You Say You Love Me"

Like the sound of silence calling,
I hear your voice and suddenly
I'm falling, lost in a dream.
Like the echoes of our souls are meeting,
You say those words and my heart stops beating.
I wonder what it means.
What could it be that comes over me?
At times I can't move.
At times I can hardly breathe.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive

You're the one I've always thought of.
I don't know how, but I feel sheltered in your love.
You're where I belong.
And when you're with me if I close my eyes,
There are times I swear I feel like I can fly
For a moment in time.
Somewhere between the Heavens and Earth ,
And frozen in time, Oh when you say those words.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive

[bridge:]
And this journey that we're on.
How far we've come and I celebrate every moment.
And when you say you love me,
That's all you have to say.
I'll always feel this way.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
In that moment,I know why I'm alive

When you say you love me.
When you say you love me.
Do you know how I love you?


What would I have done if it wasn't for Josh Groban? Oh that's right, gone with a Whitney Houston song....lol :D

Birds Up!

Aww I miss my church.....I don't miss those glasses though......LOL At dinner they were showing Star Wars, it made my day. What can I say, once a fan always a fan. Tomorrow I get to sleep in! Praise the Lord! I napped a lot today, my roommate probably thinks thats all I do. Every time she comes in on any day, I am always sleeping! lol What can I say, I tire myself out! Augh I leave for Chicago at 5am! Not cool. I sat outside the music building waiting for Ashleigh and it made me sad listening to all the bandish conversations. I mean stuff that only band kids would say. My math teacher makes me wanna shout. He always messes up! Then he'll be like, why is the answer wrong? Because you did it wrong, you idiot!!! Augh I sweat my IQ goes down 5 points everytime I ener his classroom. "So Magic Johnson shot a basket adn signed autographs for an hour" So Mr. Brandt, what in heaven's name does that have to do with factoring.....just wondering......FYI: Magic Johnson graduated from the high school that my sister works at! He also went to MSU and was here like last week! Boo-yah......just kidding....

Trust me I'm a professional...

ha On the bus back from Meijer (not MeijerS lol) and there was this guy and he talked rather loudly. (Asking the driver) "When is your birthday?" A couple of minutes later "I'm hot, I'm taking my coat off." Then later "Oh that Martin Luther King Jr. was funny!" I had to keep myself from laughing! lol My presentation went ok I think, she said I got all the major points and did fine. My test was pretty easy for the most part. Aww I got my schedule for this weekend, leaving here at 5am, great. We have to meet in the commuter lot (mind you this isn't even in East Lansing...) thats where my truck is parked lol. But you can call the bus to come pick you up. Oh Tomorrow we are having an emergerncy (man why can't I spell today?) water shut-off. I don't like the sound of that...Ahh I can't wait for next semester to get back into band! Oh I miss it soo. Oh I'm tired I think I'm going to bed........G'night......Oh one more thing, that movie with Borat in it looks soo funny! Watch the trailer or go to youtube.com and look for it there! lol

...Another package?! Geeze...

Ok people what is with people sending me candy?! So This is the 3rd! package of candy that I have recieved in the last week. Did I like hit the jackpot or something. Strange......OMG My writing class FINAL exam is in like 2 weeks! What the heck? Augh that lady...Tomorrow I have an oral presentation, I am SOOOOO nervous! lol It only has to be like 5 minutes, I'm just summarizing an article, but still. The freaking article is like 14 pages long and took forever just to read it. What a boring topic, history or poetry? Hmm who cares if Herodotus was a poet or a historian? I don't. Then 2 hours after that I have an exam in my ISS class, wow what a fun day. not. But the rest of the week I don't have an exams or assignments due! So if I can just make it past tomorrow I think I'll be fine. Chicago this weekend!!! :D that menas some mad shopping!!!....and good food! You guys should call me on Sunday because I have a six hour train ride by myself and I'll have nothing to do! lol I hope I get a window seat at least. Then the next weekend is Meredith's 16th birthday. Man, I remember when I turned 16......Katie and my parents and our youth group surprised us! We were actually surprised too! lol Seems so long ago........... :D

Real quick

If the Tigers win the world series we should all makes shirts that say "Tigers eat YAMS!" (Yankees, the 'A's, and the Mets!) lol I thought it was quite clever myself!

Go State?!.......maybe not.

I always root for the underdog. lol I was a Tigers fan when they used to lose. I support MSU even if they never win....Well if they can win 3 more games, they have a chance for a bowl game.....HAHA lol Like that will happen. Don't mess with Michigan sports.....look what happened to the Yankee's pitcher.......ok sorry that was mean but I can't help myself. But in other news Katie will be here soon!! I'm uber excited! She hasn't seen my room yet, I don't think that she has ever ben here before. Hopefully I can give good directions! lol That's not my strong point..........lol Ha Father of the Bride is on again! lol This is the second time I have seen it in the past weekend. Ok she should be here soon, so I should go get ready.

Augh

Its 3:12am and I can't sleep. My stomach hurts like I have to throw up or something. I think I ate something, I never feel like this. Augh of all days.....the Ohio State game. But I would rather not go and drive home to see my parents and it is really really cold. Augh I'm going to try to sleep it off....

How is a girl supposed to keep her figure?

When your church sends you so much great food! lol I had just went two weeks without having food in my room. lol Tomorrow I might go to Monroe with my parents and have some nice warm chili! hmmm with cheeze-its! Yes I put cheeze-its in my chili. lol Ahh Katie might come visit! I hope it works out!!!

Fun and festivities abound in Lincoln Park - Features

Fun and festivities abound in Lincoln Park - Features

See my city's not too shabby......lol

Imagine all the people...

Imagine, if you will, a scene that is out of the ordinary. For example, outside my window I see something that just seems well off. A blue cloudless sky, its snowing like whoa, and the trees are still yellow and red and dropping leaves. So it is a mix of snow and leaves falling with a clear sky. odd. Got out of two classes early today, not too shabby. Hopefully going to the free showing of The Devil Wears Prada. Should be fun. OMG What luck! Ok, so at the Wharton Center they are showing Mamma Mia, which I have been dying to see since it came out. Before the showing they are serving a huge Greek dinner to get into the mood. Well that starts at 5 and my class (on opposite side of the campus) gets out at 4:50. So I am like, man, I guess I could skip or leave early. So I am looking through my syllabus to look something up and notice that on the day of Mamma Mia, we don't have class! I was like :D. So I'll see if my friends are still going and then get my ticket! I love Greek food. Saganaki and Baklavah could probably be the best foods on earth.......Ok so now I am hungry......lol

Grandma?! Grandma?! lol

Omg my Grandma called me like 12 times yesterday. She left me like 3 voicemails. One was just her saying, "Lisa, this is Grandma.............Lisa, this is Grandma............Lisa this is Grandma." lol I could hear my mom in the background coaching her on how to leave a voicemail. lol but I hate it when my phone doesn't give me any indication of a missed call or voicemail. Geeze. Math exam today. pooey. Then I have to come back and write an outline, term paper proposal, and a bibliography all by tomorrow. Did I mention I changed my topic yesterday? So all new research is in line as well. But I know a lot about Egypt and I have to compare it with how Herodotus (I know, who? lol) writes and describes it. Ahhhh shoot. lol I had a dream about my family and our crazy Christmas dinner. lol It was funny. My family makes me laugh, omg are they funny. No, not funny like me, it's funny when I talk about them! lol :D

Wasting time...

Figures whenever I want to shower, the showers are closed for cleaning. Well I only have like an hour before my class. Hopefully it gets done soon, it doesn't take long to shower and I guess I won't blow dry my hair to save time. Tonight I won't have time because Ashleigh, Chris and I are driving to Pinckney. I think that is how you spell it...lol He has a rehearsal and since I have my truck up here me and Ashleigh are going to eat at her house. I don't think we are getting back until late tonight. I can get my reading done while I am waiting for him and I can do my research tomorrow. Hopefully start my outline. Those showers better be clean soon. lol But I actaully finished my paper like in the afternoon. Usually I don't start it until like 6. lol Ahh time's awasting......lol I hate feeling rushed. Ok I'll go see.....lol

Ok enough of all of that depressing stuff..... :D

lol So that was just one of my little bad days. I don't think MSU is the school for me. I think I am going to tell my parents when they take me to Chicago that next fall I want to transfer to Specs Howard. I think that they will understand, I'm pretty almost positive that they will let me. I'm lucky for one thing, having parents that only want their kids to be happy. Unlike the rest of my family that only care about whether it will bring in any money. Sorry that politics make me want to shoot penguins and if I was a lawyer I would probably throw tuna at my clients and tell them to fix their own problems, I want ice cream! lol But instead of transering mid year I'l stick it out for the rest of the year, don't want to miss out on my racquetball class! Hellz no! lol I wonder if Specs has dorms, because I am very wary of living at home since it is in Southfield. I mean that is like an hour away so hopefully.....Well my friend goes there, I wonder where she lives.......for the first 16 weeks you get to take a little of each cass, either in audio or tv, then you can choose after that and they evaulate you to see what you might be best at. I def. need to find Katelyn's number and see how she likes it.

Life

Empty is my life, why did I waste 18 years of my life? What do I have to show of my life? Scrolling through the list of majors here, I come to realize that none of them are for me, but then what do you do? It is hard when you aren't good at anything or have any inerests to fall back on. I wish it was clearer. My life has just been one big lie, one big act. Well the curtains have fell and the show is over. I wish my life had more direction. I wish that someone could just evaulate my life and give me a list of different careers to look into. The sad part is that no one understands because I was stupid enough not to let anyone into my life. Maybe I just dream too big, I mean I guess opera singer, Broadway actor, a Rockette, or a famous actress are just that....dreams....and can never be more then that. My old minister suggested getting into the ministry, and for a while when I was younger, I considered it. I used to sit in the balcony when the sactuary was empty and would just imagine having my own congeration, them holding on to my every word. I always wondered how minsters know how to say the right thing at the right time. When they say a prayer, how do they know what to say? Does it just come to them? Maybe I am just too complicated of a person. Why is life so hard to figure out...

::gasp:: No more Audioblogger?!

In November, audioblogger will no longer be offered on this site. Pidizzle. That stinks. Oh well. Had Taco Bell today for the first time in like 4 months. lol I got another email from the front desk saying that I had a package at the front desk. My aunt sent me some Halloween candy. lol Laura is napping on my bed and then driving to Western. Bought a new book today, The Kite Runner, we have to read it for class. It seems interesting from just reading the back, so maybe I'll read a lot of it tonight. **Edit I just read the entire book, it was soo good and depressing at the same time, you should all read it! lol** Since I'm here all by myself this weekend. I'm sorta in a The Notebook mood, maybe I'll watch that.......lol I just realized that I can watch a movie on my computer and have the UofM vs MSU game on mute on the tv. lol Multi-tasking at its best. My sister just informed me that she will be napping here for another hour. ok......I did find a Blockbuster though. I am not sure if my account from home works up here.....I guess I could call first.....So if anyone of you guys get bored or anything, just remember that I am probably too! lol

My toes are cold

Ok I can not stand this coldness. This whole let's leave the window open is not going to work. I guess I can just bundle up but in the winter, this will not fly. I'm all alone this weekend so if anyone is bored and needs some excitement feel free to talk to me! lol My roommate is gone until Monday and my friends are gone until Sunday. Lalala so I guess I could do homework. I really want to rent a movie. But I don't know where a movie rental place is....and buffalo wild wings, why is it no one wants to go with me? What is everyone here's problem? I thought everyone loved BWWs, or at least I do ;) Maybe if katie comes to visit she'll go with me, oh that reminds me I need stamps......maybe tomorrow. Oh pray for us, oh lordy. Tomorrow's the big day, there could be some riots lol. I mean I know we are not going to win but one can only hope. I can't believe my little sister's class is going to Ann Arbor for a field trip!!!! What a horrible place to go........especially tomorrow, I hope she is not wearing any MSU stuff, for her safety.......seriously. I can't feel my fingers........I wish the heaters would kick on, my desk is pushed right up against it. Only like 9 more weeks of the semester. I'm thinking of planning a new year's party or a christmas one......so watch for more on that........ :)

Chicago!!

I'm going to Chicago! Yippee! Well I'm going to the MSU vs. Northwestern game. My parents are like well let's just spend the weekend down there. My parent's friends are taking a train from E. Lansing and I am riding back with them. My grandparents and relatives from WI are going to the game too. Not sure if they are staying the weekend.....hmmm. Guess what I ate yesterday. A FRIED TWINKIE! Top that. Yea I will probably have a heat attack. lol But it tasted like heaven on a plate and we ate it on the floor. It was one of those special dinners and the tables were on the floor, like in Japan. lol What a night. Today I have History and ISS and I should probably do laundry, I'm running low. lol It is soooooo cold in my dorm room. Long story. lol My sister's class is taking a field trip to MSU tomorrow. So I am tagging along...lol Mrs. Cady thought she got rid of me....hey I still have her cell number....haha ;)

My one rebellious act of college...

Yea so I still need to tell my parents... :) But if that is that is the only crazy thing I do in college, then I think I will be fine! lol and hey it is not like it will be there forever like a tattoo. I think I'll tell them today, Dad first, he is more open minded. lol It is thunder storming again this morning, do you know how not cool it is to walk to a class during a thunder storm for more than one day? But today I have class at 8 and then not again until 4, so that leaves plenty of nap time, only I can't sleep on my side or stomach.....It actually didn't hurt that much. I watched videos on youtube that made it seem like it was painful. But don't take that the wrong way, I'm not getting anything else pierced ever. lol See I figure you can hide your navel, so it is like I know it is there but it is not really exposed to the world.

hahaha

Ha my blog says I should be in history! But our class was cancelled because the teacher didn't show up! :) But it stinks, I have another class in about an hour so I can't relax to much, and I have a big test in that class. pidizzle. I just remembered that my printer had a scanner on it, and unlike my scanner at home, it actually works! lol The one at home always said it was unplugged. OMG Did everyone hear about that Amish school shooting??? Geeze of all the people, they kill the Amish. One time I went to church camp (I think it was 5th grade) and we were making ice cream (which doesn't have anything to do with the story) and I was talking to this boy and because of my accent he thought I was Amish. He almost had all the kids there convinced I was Amish. Lordy....what a childhood! lol You know my professor didn't remember that she wanted me to talk to the class. I had even prepared some stuff.....geeze. k dokey......

You want me to do what??!!

OMGEE I went to my professor's office hours and she talked to me for like 2 hours! ...AND I told her about my city and school system and such, she wants me to do a lecture about my city TOMORROW. What does she want me to say? Half my friends are pregnant or have babies, a majority of the student body get drunk regularly and use drugs. There are gangs at my school that kill people. Our teachers don't teach adn so we are unprepared. Since we fail the MEAPs we are told from 9th grade on that we can't amount to much because we are just from Lincoln Park. No, not me, I'm getting out, I'm going to do something. I have always felt, since I was a kid, that God had something in store for me. Something special. The task is finding out what it is. I'm not going to end up in a cubicle job in a building with no windows. College is a new start for me. I'm starting over and I'm going to do it right this time. I found the cord to my digital camera! Finally! lol "Is this it? It's been here the whole time!" Shut up Meredith, I knew the cord was there......lol So I put some pictures of my 12x15 lovely living space in my flickr. lol Lovely small is more like it.

Well at least it shows that people acutally read this...

Ok my bad. I'm sorry, I'll rephrase my thoughts. I didn't mean that community colleges are bad or anything. I meant that in my city people don't try and just use them as a crutch. They barely pass high school knowing that they can just go to Wayne County CC or Henry Ford. They use it in a bad way. I'm not putting it down, my mom went to Henry Ford CC and lived at home. I was just saying how the druggies in my city use it, not like regular people who have more goals than just getting drunk everynight. So if I offended anyone, I'm sorry. Well at least it shows that people read this...
