Classes @ MindSay

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, a girl decided to transfer to a different school. A private school, to be more specific. Well, in this school she made two friends. They all played together as best friends (And a clique) for two years, until one of her friends discovered that they were being manipulated by the other. After a large argument... no... a war ensued. Well, the manipulator transfered out of the school, while the girl and her former clique-mate stayed close... ish.

Well, two years after the incident, the girl went to a summer camp, and made a new friend.
This girl was the nicest person she knew.
So she thanked her one day, for not being a manipulative bitch.
The girl's new friend went back to school, and a few months later, informed her that she went to two classes with the manipulator.
Well, the girl was in such a state of shock, she...
Well, she began to giggle.
Then full-on laugh out loud.
When she was finished, she dried her eyes and asked for info on the manipulator.
The best friend was worried. She'd accidentally let it slip that she was bisexual to the manipulator, and the manipulator was known for blowing things out of proportion, and spreading outrageaus rumors about people. She was afraid something would be spread about her. In her own words, "I'm practically kissing her feet!"
So now the girl is trying to think of ways to avoid nasty rumors being spread about her best friend.
One fool-proof way, is if she goes to that school, and gives the manipulator the tongue-lashing of her life!
But, alas, that would be foolish...
Maybe...

The End!

All right so Hurricane Ike was no fun!

I didn't mind so much not having power; that was expected, but damn....NO WATER???
I was so incredibly frustrated. Not to mention the day after the hurricane my car had received minor flooding.
It could have been a whole lot worse though. I could have not been able to drive at all. It filled to my cup holders!!! :'(

Life...so full of surprises.

Speaking of surprises I might be taking a class weekly in Sugar Land. It all really depends...but I can get a dental assist. certification by December if I do this. Starts next week. Should I or shouldn't I? Hmmmmm....

Been thinking about a lot of things lately. Trying to keep options open.

Well, I haven't died or anything... so that's good.
I'm back in school now, and that pretty much runs my life.

I have 16 hours... not terrible... but certainly no walk in the park. Having 3 art classes at once is quite exhausting, time consuming, and expensive. HOOORAY for grants and loans.

I had an interview at the Science Theatre museum today. I think it went really well adn I get to observe a birthday party on Saturday..... I also have a photoshoot on Saturday.... busy busy day... plus lots of homework, I'm sure.

This time next week I'll be back at the beach right out from Charleston. I looooove Charleston.


Other than that I don't really have anything to exciting to weblog about. I have to keep up with 2 other blog for my photography and design classes... so I probably won't be on here too often.. I'll link to those soon and you can check out what I've been doing in my classes.

Cory and I are rapidly approaching our 1 yr anniversary. I'm really excited about it.. This whole year has just flown by with him and I couldn't be more excited about spending the rest of my days with him. He makes my life so much better and less complicated. We have our happy little family of 2 pups and it's glorious.


Oooo and we're having a cookout for the florida game which I'm totalllllly pumped about. it shall be gllooooorious. I love grilling. It's really one of my most favorite things to do. And having a whole lot of people over that I really enjoy the company of is also one of my favorite things..... Speaking of which.. I really need to make some invitations.. I have the cutest little grill and burger invitations...

I think I'll do that now... and go to bed.. I'm oh so tired.


For some reason I have the ultimate toast in my head... and by ultimate toast .. i mean the one we always used to say before the vodka..
dirty, inappropriate, and hilarious. Bwahahah

            Today was the second day of class, but let me back up and tell you a little bit about my first day of college classes.

            First class of the day was my wonderful honor chemistry class. Now I’m not one of those science eschewing people. I like sciences, in fact I may go so far as to say I love them. I’m even considering a double major in one. I did well in all of my science classes in high school, but I wouldn’t say that any of them were exactly challenging. I was offered the choice of taking honors chemistry or western civilizations. In my mind, chemistry is a much more interesting option than history, plus honors section means fewer students. So yeah, I signed up without any worries.

            Dr. E. stands up in front of class and begins his syllabi explanation. I was prepared to be daunted, I mean, this isn’t building things in the sand pile at home any more, kids; this is the big leagues (you know, like using paint instead of crayons or something like that).  What I was not prepared for was for him to say that we were going to cover an entire year of chemistry in a semester. After I had a heart attack (I’m an anxious person, it happens), I recovered myself to also catch that we will be getting to do research for the second half of the semester in lab. Basically my opinion of the class goes like this: I’m pretty sure I’m not ready, but what the fuck, how can I pass up research? I’ll take a C if it means I get to play in the lab.

            Okay, so that was a pretty boring part of the day. I mean, when you stress out as much as I do, you find such experiences pretty dull regardless of the amount of adrenaline that starts to run. After lunch were my more interesting classes.

            First off Greek (and a wee bit of Roman) mythology. There I sat in the class room with all the other students, and it is 10 minutes past the time class was suppose to start. Finally one of the upper classmen went and tracked down our prof. First reaction I had as she walked through the door was, “Just too cute!” Seriously, Dr. W is fun, energetic, playful, and simply put one of my favorite profs for now. She explained how until someone came to get her, she had been sitting in her office thinking, “What am I going to do for another hour? I’m so bored…” Poor dear, it’s her first year at this college and she’s sick; she completely lost track of her schedule. We spent what time we had left in her class looking over the schedule and talking about various subjects including the modern “prince-charming” problem for women. I’m looking forward to the discussion in her class because she seems focused on drawing connections from ancient mythology into the ways we mythologize in life today.

            Last class for the day: Critical Thinking (let me here a “hell yeah” from all the other philosophy majors out there! What? No one???). This class was the one I was most excited for from since I registered for classes and I don’t think it will disappoint. Now before I give you all the reasons for my love of critical thinking class, I will point out its flaws. This class is not only a required course for my major, but also the only other option for those students who do not want to take a communications class or did not place out of communications. This means lots of uninterested, not engaged students are sitting next to me in class. It is also taught in a tiny room full of these uninterested and unengaged students. At any rate, I’m the only philosophy major in it as far as I know.

            Now moving on to the high points: the prof obviously knows his stuff and enjoys the subject; there are no speeches, papers, or essays; I love the subject; and, if you didn’t catch this yet, as a class in LOGIC one should be okay in assuming it should be fairly LOGICAL.

            Anywho, more exciting, interesting things happened today, but I’ve still got have of the Theogony of Hesiod to read before tomorrow and I want to finish before supper. Hope you enjoyed the small update in my life. Don’t worry, I’ll write when everything gets super difficult and I feel like giving up.

well I've been praying for change in me all summer.  and I was talking to heather in her dorm room about it and I was like, I wanted to change so bad. and she said, "Well Leah said that you have cause your more calm and lay back more." I guess so. I love my piano class. We have to practice for 150 minutes every week.  I went in today and spent an hour and just kept playing even past what was required. hahaha. I love it so much. I also love my Fine Arts class cause we sing songs and be completely random and later I go back at 3:55 (very soon) for the 2nd part of the class where we draw rainbows and stuff. This is the year for change. to take BACK what the enemy have stolen. Its going to be beautiful. :) Chapel was amazing today for the first one. It was about prophecy and the gifts God has given us. :)

Oh God may this be the year of change from the inside.

I went in and got another councilor. I meet her monday. :) and one of the things i said I need to work on is my judgementalness. and Heather said yesterday, "Dont try to tell brittany your views or opinion on ANYTHING because when she strongly believes in something she's so stubborn you cant change it." True.. as what happened recently on mindsay.. Its true.
