Have you heard of this: [The Face Book]? I knew people around here were on some internet based thing, but I don't like feeling like something is the cool thing to do to do it. I signed up today...current name is "Juls" but I put in for it to be changed to my full name since thats what most people from HS or here know me by. Pic of me on there is from this past summer, at one of the many A family BBQ's. Long live Cushion Girl :)

These people can't do anything without controversy. More fun stuff about the wedding of the century...bah.
Nothing to report about, think I'm getting blog-sick.

Why we love Starbucks.
The article is mostly about the money aspect but its pretty true about everything. Been busy this week, work has finally caught up to being stressful school-wise. Ah.

A face only he could love, and a rock that costs more than my college education by far. It's the end of the world as we know it.
I couldn't resist blogging about it lol.

Well I got a housing contract yesterday morning, I got down there at 6:32am (it was meant to start at 7am) and there were already about 30 people in front of me, so glad I went early though as by 7:30am all the contracts were gone. I just put down random single rooms, and since I'm a senior now (according to credit hours) I should have no problem getting a single room yay. Just have to have my deposit in by the date in March.
Also Valentine's package from Pete came yesterday!!! I had a feeling it would get here yesterday but wasn't really expecting it to be this early, he didn't get his yet though :( Probably will do by Friday. I already opened it of course, I'm TERRIBLY impatient! He got me "The Other Woman" by Jane Green (hardback), Guylian seashells (he didn't declare them on the customs thing so they're illegal but worth the risk surely!), and a cute Me to You bear ordament thing, its a plastic heart with a bear inside, here's a link:) And then when the 5th series of Felicity comes out in March he's getting me that :) Also got a card from him, which I said I'd leave til the day but opened it later anyway lol.
Alright, have procrastinated enough, have to do some research for a stupid meeting article bah.

Hmph bit jealous - Bridget Jones Edge of Reason comes out on DVD in the UK on 25 Feb. Hmph, guess I know how it feels now lol. Too bad I don't have a muti-region dvd player, theres no point in getting one now as I'll be moving in a year and a half. Wow that's weird to say. Ah. Speaking of weddings and stuff, my spinster cousin got engaged over the weekend ;) (hehehe sorry Jess) anyway she's probably getting married before me as she's older and has less time to make babies - well according to her anyway lol. I am happy for her though :)
Other than that today has been mundane, turns out I didn't need to need Rushdie for today, but Weds. Today I had something else due, good thing I had time to do it before it was due. Tomorrow is "Housing Day" its a new thing this year, where everyone who is poor (like me) and wants on-campus housing has to get in line at 7am to get one of like 200 contracts - and no extras are given. So guess who's getting up and going downstairs in her pj's to get a contract. Yes. me.
Went to the dentist this morning. My dentist still looks like a pig. Nothing changes does it?

Why after almost 4 weeks of being back in the states is my sleep still messed up? My theory is it takes me as long as I've been away to get readjusted. So I should be re-adjusted by now, since its been 3 and a half weeks since I got home from England. And I was there for that long. I think my brain keeps me up, especially if I'm worried or nervous. Anyway.
Very busy day today, I missed Post-Colonial Literature because I was at the county courthouse observing a trial to do an article on it. Its due tomorrow, fun. The plan was for me to do it yesterday, but I got lost so by the time I got there I thought I was too late to go in. Ah. So I had to be there at 1:30 today. Lucky really, because a girl from my class also came into that courtroom to observe. So after the trial ended, around 3:30, we went to look up the criminal record of one of the inmates who was on trial for violation of probation. Of course the only interesting case was at the end. So I have to write that article for 5pm tomorrow, did some background research tonight but think I'll take it easy tonight. Long day.
I sent out Pete's Valentines package on Monday, costs me a ton but he's worth it ;) He sent out mine yesterday so hopefully we'll get them at the same time. In two days it will be 5 years since we met in person for the first time! Can't believe it was that long ago, and at the same time it seems like so much longer! Well that's about it, I should go read Rushdie.

Well I've checked the latest Jane Green book doesn't come out here in the US until March, in hardback, sorry. But I'm getting it from the UK in paperback woohoo. Most of the authors I like for fun reading are British, which means I have been getting all my books for fun from England when I'm there. Not that I have time to read anything for fun at the moment.
It's taken me nearly 3 years at my college to find a person to hang out with that 1) I wasn't living with at one time or another 2) has the same basic major as me and 3) lives off campus. Got invited to go and watch a movie or something with a girl from my PR class last semester. Makes me feel good, I've been pretty down lately and feeling like a loser. Call it post-holiday blues/remaining jetlag/basic depression.
Well I'm feeling tired and hungry today...which means one of two things really. And its definitely not that one thing...
I think my last microwave velvetta meal (I know its not cheese but its so good) is calling my name...but I must resist.

In an attempt to avoid working on a commentary that's due in Mass Media and Society tomorrow, I'm blogging. But I am working on the commentary, I almost have a page and it only has to be 2 pages woohoo. I should be done, but I like avoiding stuff. Another Jane Green book has come out, and because I don't want anything else I told Pete he could me it for Valentine's Day ;) Even though I don't have time to read anything non-scholarly bah...The Other Woman there is a link. After reading the synopsis it's quite scary, take out the three kids part and switch around a few names (but keep the MIL one) and that's my in-laws...hopefully they won't turn all nuts after the wedding...surely not...
Well I have class at 3:30 until 4:45 and then class at 5pm until 8pm ahhhh. Not chatting with Pete tonight, since he doesn't get out of martial arts til nearly 9pm his time or something. So he might blog and/or read this one lol. Love you baby xxxx. Best get back to avoiding work in other ways...

I know its cold all over the eastern part of the country... but...it's 36F here and expected to get colder brrr.
Pete's pixie says its about the same temp in London at the moment and apparently its snowing according to his pixie ;) Mine is just cold :)
********
In other news my roommate is being annoying, she's not back yet and I'm hoping she doesn't come back tonight as we're having trouble sleeping in the same room...she leaves her lights and tv every night! ahhhhh.
Was at the motel since Friday morning cleaning rooms, so didn't do anything exciting....
Bridget Jones - Edge of Reason is coming out on dvd on March 22, according to amazon.com. V. Good. The first movie is on NBC at the moment hehehe.

I got back into Orlando on Saturday afternoon/evening...
The flight was delayed leaving Gatwick because the plane was late getting into Gatwick because of the gale force winds. We finally left London around 1pm GMT and arrived in Orlando around 5:45pm EST. It took a long time to get through immigration because there was only one line open for US Citizens and Residents and the guy before me took like 10 minutes. I finally got to baggage claim and found my mom and her relatives who are here visiting and got my bags. The jetlag isn't too bad, I think because I was only there 3 and a half weeks instead of 6 like last time so I didn't really fully adjust to the time to begin with. Never the less, I went to bed around 10pm on Saturday and got up at 5am yesterday morning. But then I went to bed 6:30pm last night and got up at 6:30am this morning.
I'm not too depressed, I did cry a bit the few days before I left but not when I left Pete at the Departures gate or on the plane. He'll probably be here in May for my birthday so thats not long to wait at all :) Well back to college tomorrow, then classes start on Weds. Not looking forward to it ahhhh.
