This is just ridiculous

I have to rant for a bit... and it's 4 in the morning and there's no one I can talk to and get all this out, so here's a bit of entertainment for my readers...

I'm sooooo ready to be out of college. Again, I'll say that it's 4 AM. There's only one reason I'm ever up at 4 in the morning: I haven't gone to bed yet. And further, now in my "grown up" Christian life, there's only one reason I haven't gone to bed yet at 4 AM: School work... more specifically, usually writing a paper (although I do admit that there are those nights when I get on a TV show kick where I'll watch episode after episode of something - a few summers ago, it was Grey's Anatomy... earlier this semester, it was ABC Family's Greek).

Why, oh why, do I do this to myself? I'm been working on this paper since 11:15PM. It's due at 9:30AM. I finished 90% of the reading around 6:30 yesterday and I wrote a ROCKIN outline to make the paper-writing process much smoother. And yet, here I am, five hours after starting that process, just finishing the third page (required length is 8-10 pages including bibliography). If I wasn't so ADD, I'm pretty sure I could have knocked it out in about two hours. Alas, I've been on Facebook twice now... once, I clicked on Games, thinking that it would be a good idea to play a game of whatever Facebook games are. My computer, however, really didn't agree as it did not even try to load the page. FINE! I went and got my iPod and played solitaire, or attempted, rather. You'd think that a game, in which you are the only player, you're pretty guaranteed to win. Not so much, in my case.

Which brings me here. I haven't posted anything since February, and that was a sad one. Oh. Mama and Daddy got a new dog, by the way. Kinda weirds me out because they got the same exact kind of dog that Viki was. Miniature Eskimo Spitz. Her name is Cotton and she likes to attack me. Seriously. Her teeth put a dent in my fingernail. She growls and runs after me, barking. Read that sentence again. She runs after me. As in, I'm walking back to my room, minding my own happy business, not being threatening in any kind of way, and she runs up on me, barking and snapping those teeth. Scares the ever living out of me! Every time. She likes to attack me.

Totally unrelated (which I think is my new favorite phrase- I use it ALL the time... you know how random I can be), I'm making progress on lowering my BMI and weight. My goal is to be at a healthy BMI, around 22.8 something or other. I have 6 pounds to go! Having a definite date set for my goal is incredibly helpful. My bestest friend, Cecilia, is marrying her best friend on June 26th, just under two months from now, and I am her Maid of Honor, naturally. She picked out a beautiful dress for me and I ordered it and received it and tried it on and ... well, decided that I could stand to shed a few pounds. Not many, but just enough to fit into the dress comfortably. It was a little more snug than I would prefer when I got it. I have not tried it on again since then. Maybe I'll do that this weekend.

Man, I don't want to do this paper. BORING!!!

Okay, I'm done ranting about school and myself. I hope you at least got a chuckle out of reading this. If not, check out some of these pictures I took for one of my projects (Culture of a WiiMaster) :)
Bowling. My 2nd favorite (after tennis).
Doing some yoga to stretch and strengthen my muscles. Dance pose is still kinda new to me.
Skateboarding. I realized that I make a lot of funny faces when I'm Wii-ing. No one has ever told me this because no one has ever joined me since I got my own Wii for Christmas. :(
This is totally my favorite picture from this day! I was doing the flying chicken target game thing. Sooooo much fun! I bet you laughed at this picture. It's okay. I laughed too!

It is now 4:36AM.
Must. Finish. Paper.
