Yes! Brilliant thinking- let's put a spending freeze on education in America! I know my concern is about just how much money we are borrowing from other nations to cover our deficit. I know I could care less about the system that educated me, that has allowed me to comprehend what is going on in the world today. I know that I could care less about ( Read more... )

Just got back from seeing "Sex and the City" with Casey. It was almost sold out for the 6:30 showing. They had signs on the door when I got there at 6:15 saying that the 7:30 was sold out. When our showing let out there was a line of women (and a few men) all the way from the door of the theater to the entarance of the building. The best was this ( Read more... )

So we get in the van tonight after dancing and Matt says "Amanda we need to find you a man." My first thought was "Well duh, what have I been complaining about for the last month?", but I answered with "I've got enough stuff I need to figure out about me without adding anything else in." The stuff being A) I have enough emotional boundry issues ( Read more... )

I didnt' get anything done today. I'm having a hard time forcing myself to sit down at the computer and get work done. I used to be so sure of my abilities when it came to school. I don't know where I lost it. At least I've finally realized that I have lost it. Or rather that I'm afraid of the challenge. That I'm not going to measure up some how ( Read more... )

I'm already thinking about and freaking out about the spare time I'll have next year, since I'm only going to be involved in NRHH has a general member. The closest thing that I can equate the past few years to is a relationship. I have been dating my orgs. I'm sure I think about them as much, if not more, than some girls think about their ( Read more... )

I just want to tell them that if they think that they can get it done with out me, then I'm done. I'm sick of doing damage control. I'm sick of how things are operating. In all fairness I should have notified them that I decided not to attend the meeting, but to choose to have an exec meeting instead of having a regular meeting and not even ( Read more... )

I really don't like this whole being up and ready for the day while everybody's away messages state that they are sleeping. At least I have the sunshine now ( Read more... )

So my Mom let me make an entire pot of coffee at 5pm. I am so wired and jittery right now. Hopefully I don't crash really bad later. Plans are to head to Platteville for some St. Patty's day festivies. Okay so I can't really blame the caffiene induced high that I am on on my mom, I'm a 22 year old who knows how caffiene effects her ( Read more... )
