dah! okay, i'm lame. Yoda sent me like seven messages on my cell today and since i recently set up the Voice mail i'd never had to check it before and i spent so long trying to figure out how to listen to my voice mail! eish!i feel lame.
good news! Yoda got his game cube back! which means as soon as he also gets his gameboy advance's we can play FF: Crystal Chronicles again! whee!
AND latin final was SO easy!!! goodness, it was wonderful! okay, that's it for now. i have to catch a train in um...three hours.....bye all!
what do you do for someone that you love, as more than a brother, but won't go out with, who has known betrayal you can't imagine and that he won't tell, and who tries his best not to trust his own family?
I honestly don't know.
well, it's not official yet, but we're pretty sure we beat the Genius book of world records for the largest planned pillow fight. We must've have nearly a thousand people!! and i was stupid and didn't take off my glasses and now they're slightly crooked!
and Someone up there has apparently decided that I don't need sleep! two nights in a row with very little, and I still sit there for nearly three hours wide awake. *yawn* aw well. such is life.
well, i'm basically moving out of my dorm on friday, scariness! already started taking stuff off my walls. they look so bare! oh, and I need to skiddaddle off to breakfast!
God Bless!
i'm going to bed...at 2:30 in the afternoon. good night
okay, i'm excited!!! yay. *breath* well! i just found out that there is a latin verb "peregrinor," which means "to travel abroad, or to wander." so, "peregrinor" = "Peregrin" as in the Took. It works!!! Peregrin traveled all over middle earth, and that was definately "abroad" for a Hobbit!! yay! oh this is so cool. Yes i am a complete and utter geek.
well, life is pretty crazy, as always. i'm starting to get scared about the summer again. It's comming on SO fast! Help! daaggh. i feel so unprepared, like there's so much i sould be doing, but at the same time, there's really not much i CAN do right now! eeeeick.
so uh, the fencing club is comming along. we now have officers, and paperwork is in, and it's "that" close to being official. and the sports facility place is being stupid and beaurocratic and majorly lame!!! First, they say we can't have a space until we've been a club for a year, and then we can apply for a space once we submit a "history," and the gal was rather rude about the whole thing. and how are we supposed to exist for a year, and have any kind of a "history," with out a place to practice?! Also, we know for a fact that they have a cache of old equipment, like masks and pads and old foils lying around that they haven't used in years! it's just sitting there gathering dust. so, since WE can use it, I simply asked if it was there, could we use it, and can i find out exactly what "it" is. and the anser was "we don't lend out equipment, it's only for ongoing IMA activies." Hello?! do they not understand that we want to BE and "ongoing activity?!" I very politely said that I would like to meet with the gal personally because a practice space is rather crucial to a martial arts centered group, and her respsonse amounted to "well there are 500 groups that manage to find a space for a year, why can't you?" someone please, please explain to me how people can be this narrow minded, unhelpful and idiotic!
on a lighter note, my core group tonight was so totally awesome!!! we sit in these tiny preschool chairs, and two people almost fell off them tonight, it was SO funny!!! :D and it was just all around great fun.

Conclusion: Harry Potter is the most addictive series known to man.
Evidence: Having read the fifth book twice previously, and re-reading it in february followed by the rest of the published series, I finished number four on sunday morning and have since reached page #227.
If I could, I'd go out and ride a horse through the woods. If i had a horse, i'd go to fencing practice. If I went to fencing practice, I'd never finish my art history essay. If i never finished my art history essay, I'd prabably pass the class anyway. so, i wish I had a horse, and a wood, and my thick wool cloak that's in my room at home...IF it wasn't raining. *sigh*
okay, i know, i'm being all depressing and apathetic. but sometimes it can be a welcome change from my usually confoundedly cheerful state. It's just hard to care about school that much right now. and, not caring about school, it's very easy to want to be home earning money, or hanging out with Yoda (I love HALO).
Finally, everyone should go see TROY. Of course i'm half gushing over the ample supply of men with unbeleivable physiques, and naturally, the music and amazing costumes alone would make it worth seeing at least once. But in addition (according to my sister, who loves the Illiad like i love Tolkien) they managed NOT to butcher the plot. *gasp!* change, yes, but not butcher.
*singing* rain, rain, go away....*wande
well, well. my DR team "finally" gets me my VBS information, this morning, like five minutes ago. and they want my lesson plan by - Friday! ... Um, hello? there's these little things called "life," "school," "family," "friends," etc, and "prior engagments" that may prevent people from just up and writing a lesson plan!!! grrr...they could at least be reasonable.
and , i got up this morning, and couldn't find my bible. which was really sad, i don't remember where I put it last night!! grrrrr.
enough complaining, bizzy! stop it! think happy thoughts!! I get to see Troy with Yoda tomorrow night!! :D yay. and um...i get to eat lunch with Anya tomorrow! yay! and i have lots of homwork to do today...not quite so yay, but that's okay.
I don't want to write my spanish essay, I really don't. frump! well, I aced both exams i took last wednesday (day of insanity!! oh my goodness!) which is nice! but my workload hasn't gone down, at all!! yuck. so why am I even here? cuz i'm perfecting my newly aquired talent for procrastinatio
(little voice in head that sounds strangly like Jack "Bizzy! Why are you not doing your homework?! You should do your homework! Go! Do it! Now! OUT!" *pushes laureanna out of Elftown....*)
grrr...well. at least the commision is gone. it was nice to have one, but the timing was WAY too cramped, and I am not at all satisfied with the outcome. i was so stressed today because of it. but now, it's gone! and the chick was happy with it, so i guess that's okay. anyway, i still have a weekend's worth of homework to do, so i'm going to go take a nap! :D

well, I have two exams tomorrow, and unless I completely lose my head, I own both of them. So, obviously,I'm not too worried!
Fundraising for the DR is comming along (yay) almost half way there. my writting has, sadly, taken a total backseat. that and i haven't felt very inspired. I Have felt do many urges to do SO many art pieces and i'm not being able to do them is starting to make me a little sad. I just have too much other stuff to do. but, oh well. i have other priorities.
*I get to go the Lake House this weekend! Wheee!*happy dance* wake board, here I come! oh, wait, i'm going to spend half the time working for my grandparents. drat! oh well!
anyhoo, i gues that's it.

I looked out of my window this morning and for a second thought it was *snowing* UP! as it turnes out, it's not snow, but tree fluff, but why it's going UP is still a mystery...
oh, goodness I am so stiff and sore! i spend about thirteen hours this weekend working on a new shed for my parents. it was kinda fun, but i'd just as soon not see another hammer for a very loooong time. sadly, wishes don't come true that easily. drat! on the bright side that means that I now only need another $1000 for the DR trip! yay!
well, Latin calls. Valete!
well, I am now fully in charge of forming the fencing club. My "partner" just informed me *after three weeks of no communication* that he will be "letting me take over." Thanks, buddy!! grrr. Not that I don't want to work with the fencing club, but it's not like i don't have other stuff to do as well. anyway. yeah. so more stress for Bizzy!
On the bright side, I got my first art commision the other day! yay! that was exciting. wel, i'm off to break my fast. i Chir hebin a galu pan!
well, I went to the COTN intern training camp last weekend. it was so much fun!-and rather convicting. I realized that this trip is going to require more effort than I was previously wanting to give, and that's not the best attitude towards a time of service. change of heart, now i'm going to be spending lots more time working to raise money and supplies for the trip, and more time just plain getting myself ready mentally! I mean, i'm going to spend two months basically as a servant/teache
SO, now i've meet seven of the ten Americans that i will be living with for two months while in the DR. Looks like it's going to be quite a team!
anyhoo, prayers for the team are always appreciated, and if anyone has any connections to free craft supplies, please let me know! :P

Crud, i have a spanish exam tomorrow that I SO don't want to study for. I can pass it right? yes? okay! no studying for me!! I feel like i want to say something very profound...but nothing's comming to me. ah, well. on to latin and art history...Adie

Who knew playing could be so painful!! I only got up on the wakeboard twice yesterday, and prompty crashed, and now I can't move! oh, life is so wonderfully unfair! anyone out there want to write my papers for me? please? no? *sigh* okay...what about go to Latin class for me? any takers? none there either...drat!
well, i'm off to take over the world...after I take a nap.
i Chir hebin a galu pan!
ha! my grandparents spoil me so much. it's so easy! anyway. yeah, that's about it. lovely sunshine. i'm drawing hamlet and i can't get his face right and its bugging me. oh well. hasta luego!

yes, i know! i stole that quote from Kairanie's diary, but i felt i needed to share it.
today is a wonderful day. for many reasons. not the least of which is that sunshine.
i Chir hebin a galu pan!
o HO! i got into a sarcasm duel with Yoda over IM last night and it was SO fun!! and it was so very very close! we didn't really pick a winner, cuz we both had to run, but at least he finally dubbed me a "Master of Sarcasm." Which I was very pleased with.
the only bad thing is that it's so fun, i frequently have to stop myself from using it on others who would not just take it in and dish it back out like Yoda and Chelsea and Kairanie. hooo, dear!
eeegads! i have so much homework! why oh why!won't they let me in my spanish class? at least art history is interesting and cool! ack. well, seeing as I still ahve homework in tres sujectos tengo que ir y hacer lo. aiya! ya estoy hablando espanol y nadie me comprende. que bueno, bizzy! y en el medio de un oracion tambien. estoy tan bueno, si? oi ve!
