BUY ME SOME BREAD!!

I absolutely love living in the South in times like these because people go insane. "oooh my gosh we need to go to the store and buy all the milk, eggs, and bread they have!!!! If we don't we might starve! We will be stuck in doors!" It's funny to see so many empty shelves...even funnier that the sight of empty shelves makes it to the news as if we don't have something better to report on which I'm sure we totally do.



When I was little and it decided to snow in South Carolina I remember being SO excited!
1. I could "play" outside in the snow ALL DAY LONG in the entire 1 INCH of it that there was!!!
2. I thought it was the coolest thing ever put snow in the freezer :D....as if I would ever take it out again later.  Even if I did what would I have done with it?

However, I've discovered since coming to college that my excitement about the snow has a different set of priorities:
1. No classes, no lab, no clinical, no nothin' hollaaa!!
2. After finding this out I realize I don't have to set my alarm for a time before the sun is up! Even when I do naturally wake up on my own I soon feel comforted that I can just get back into bed until I want to get up again.
3. I spent my 20 minutes of "playing" outside and that was good enough for me. Only staple I didn't accomplish was a snow angel and I was not about to do that in the middle of my apartment complex, though it might have been fun to watch people's reactions.
4. Like a nerd I finished every lecture and assignment for the week for one of my classes! Tomorrow, since classes are canceled again, I'll probably do next week too. How COOL am I?!?!

Getting back to the Grind

I'm back at school, which must unfortunately mean break is over. One nice thing about coming back to campus way earlier than everyone else is that it's so nice and peaceful, you have nothing to do besides organize papers and clean your room, and maybe even read a book...or not. Thankfully I have found productive things to do everyday and I'm happy to say that I'm all ready and prepared for classes. Does this make me a dork? Probably. I accepted this fact about myself a long time ago.
Things I'm thinking about:
New Years Resolutions.
I find that when I make resolutions rarely do they ever get accomplished. I get to caught up in the pressure that I made it a resolution. Oh noo what will happen if I don't make my resolution. Probably nothing. But the word for some reason does seem to hold so much greater value to me than a goal.
Syllabus. Syllabuses..Syllabi? Idk.
Why is it that in highschool I didn't at all want to know what was happening in what class before I got there but that in college I can't stand not knowing and I print out the syllabus no matter how early it's posted? I've had three of them printed since the second week of Christmas break. Part of that was so I could use my parent's printer ink versus my own. And their paper. What can I say I'm a poor college student. One class didn't have the syllabus up until today and I was freaking oooout. Not really, but I was a little ansy I had to wait. I don't know why, I still have it three days before class. And for what? So that I can print it all out on nice white paper, put a new staple in it (well all staples are new), and punch three holes equally spaced apart in each page? Yes. Yes that makes me happy.
Jersey Shore.
Why do we, and if you don't I will say I, find pleasure in watching people act so stupid. Last night was the Jersey Shore premiere and I was one of "8.4 million viewers that made it the most watched series telecast on MTV of all time"! That is kinda sad and I am shameful to admit I watch this religiously. I guess you could call it a guilty pleasure of mine, much like how listening to Taylor Swift is for teenage boys. I don't know why I enjoy watching it so much, but I think alot of it just brings pure joy to my heart to watch these people act so dang ridiculous and get paid for it. I mean snookie and her love of pickles? The Situation being "a situation"? Sammie "Sweetheart" being someone totally opposite from a sweetheart? Her on again off again romace with Ronnie....I still don't understand that. So unpredictable. You just can't look away. It's gonna be a good season I can tell. I'm not gonna lie, I am excited.

Don't worry those aren't the only 3 things on my mind. I'm just engrossed in the end of a rerun of Criminal Minds :)!
