Longest Wall Shift Ever

Today I worked the longest wall shift ever. From 7-10 pm Drew and Scott were the only ones keeping me company. This weekend in general was pretty slow. I got a lot of hw done though and watched a lot of movies. For some reason all of them good love stories. I think I have had my fill of girl nights and girl movies for this month. Just kidding girl's night out are the best and cheesy love stories are too, just sad that they never happen to me. Oh well, my fingertips are doing great in their healing process aided by tons of "Climb On". If that doesn't safe my fingerprints nothing will. I'm really excited to see my family this weekend. I have been missing them like crazy lately. Alrighty, bed time.

About those tricky glass doors

All in all, today was a good day (Better than last night). I slept in (unintentionally), did reasonable on my fluids exam, got some hw done and then worked/chilled at the wall again. Then I stopped by Picantes to get a breakfast burrito and did the most retarded thing ever. I walked up to the door, read the opening times, decided to go in and smacked into the glass panel right next to the door. My excuse: There wasn't anything taped to that panel so it looked like an opening. Of course everyone inside just stared at me. Besides running into that concrete column two weeks ago that was probably the clumsiest and stupidest thing I have done so far. Anyways, going to IHOP with my fav girls Laura and Lib.

Frustrated thus eating chocolate

Today started out great. I finally got to sleep in for the first time in about 2 weeks. Then moving the Casino Night tables was pretty quick and then I chilled at the park and did my hw. After that I went climbing and had fun.......until I got a freaking blister, actually two blisters. Now I normally don't care about blisters, flappers, scrapes and the like. Except for these two since they are on my freaking finger tips. Since I need pretty fingertips for the fingerprints for the homeland security department I can't climb anymore. That means the comp this weekend is not going anymore. :( Depending on how fast this heals I might decide to go to the comp on Friday otherwise I'm just gonna stay in town. So we'll see, I really hope that I have magical skin otherwise I wasted an airplane ticket and delayed our Green Card Process. As y'all can tell I'm pretty frustated that why I took a really long shower with scruby stuff and lotion etc. and I'm eating chocolate to make me feel better.

Life is finally unstressful again...or at least I hope so ;)

The greatest feeling in the world is not having to worry about anything. Naturally I'm super happy right now. I'm done with my exams and all the hw that needed to be done this week. Catching up on about a week of hw is just not fun. But VP was a lot of fun. I keep on getting compliments on my routes and it makes me happy when I see people peel on them, especially when it is guys. ;) I have been beating a lot of them lately and it's just too great when a guy is upset cause a girl flashed a route they took falls on. Anyways, I gotta go to class. And then I'm probably going climbing again. Then hopefully chilling with people I haven't seen in forever. Btw Casino Night is Saturday night at 7. Everyone should come. We have prizes and food and it should be tons of fun at the science spectrum.

So so Day

I can't decide whether today was a good or a bad day. It started off pretty good with a pretty easy statistical and thermal physics exam. Then class was just boring. I didn't get any homework done (or at least not as much as I wanted) then my roommate got into a little collision in front of our house, so she was pretty upset. Then my dad told me that I have to fly into Houston on March 5th which is the week before spring break (during which I'm going home anyway) to get my fingerprints taken for my Green Card. So I'm flying all the way to Houston for a weekend to get my fingerprints taken. Oh and also I have to make sure that I don't get any scratches or cuts on my fingertips cause otherwise they can't do print. Ok, I'm a freaking climber for crying out loud. Ok in case you didn't notice I'm pretty upset. Kinda like Lib, but not for the same reason although I'm not a big fan of vday either. Anyway adding to all of this is my confusion about a certain someone. Ok, back to homework, so I can cry cause I'm freaking stressed, because I only have about a week of homework to catch up on.

Ok, I think I feel better. :) Climbing did put me in a better mood. I totally flashed Tim's yellow 5.10d/5.11. I am awesome. :P

Tired

Really tired, I have been up since 6am this morning because of the climbing competition. The comp was tons of fun though. I onsighted a route for rating the other day that I saw five guys peel on. I just love it when I'm stronger than guys sometime. *proud* I got compliments on my blue crimpy and balancy route. The first one I ever set.*even more proud* I got some free stuff and confused the crap out of some A&M guys. I think they still don't know whether I'm from Tennesee, Kroatia, or Boston. After that it was off to Thai Pepper were we invaded that place with 8 limegreen shirted people. We had some great conversations about God and the World (literally). Then we made it over to the VP After Party at Hammond's House. It was quite a bit of fun chilling on the waterbed, climbing the wall and having some even greater conversations about hyperspace, God, and entropy. Bad things about this evening. I hate hurting people's feelings. It always makes me feel aweful. I also finally came to the realization that I am not very fond of drunk people. The true character just comes out, a character you might not like as much as the sober one. Hanging out with a bunch of sober people for the last couple of years probably skewed my entire view point of drinking in general. I also hate complaining and bickering, things I'm guilty of myself. So next time I make a Sauerkrautish comment, someone please pinch me. Anyway I'm off to bed. I have about a week of hw to catch up on. Just to end this in a PCP. Competitions are fun and the work was worth it. :)

Phantom der Oper

Phantom of the Opera is definitely a great movie. I just love the score. The musical is of course better, but the movie is awesome as well. So anyway, that's what I did tonite watching a movie instead of doing any homework. I have been completely slacking this week. At least I got a B on my E&M exam. That made me semihappy. I was also quite delighted to finish my third route, although it still needs tweaking. I was also happy to bump into JD and Sarah at Taco Bell. I mentioned that he had cut his hair, but then he reminded me that the last time I saw him was before Christmas Break and that I had missed the shaved head. It's kinda weird and sad sometimes, that you can see a person normally at least once a week and then all the sudden not see them for 2 month. I still haven't seen Steven since he has been back to Lubbock. I barely see Lib and Laura on the weekends anymore. I don't see my roommates at all. I think I saw the Doak guys a few times. I do meet Burns in the computer lab every other day and I see my SWE girls a lot. But I think the people that get to see me the most are the OPC kids. I do practically live at the wall this week. I'm excited to get to know all of them better, but it's really hard to not stop hanging out with your other friends. What can I say I probably have way too many friends. J/k. I already promised Jillie I would hang out with her next weekend. So I'm not forgetting my old friends and obviously not my high school buddies either. Audrey just told me that she is good friends with Amy Passmore and Kristen Park who were both on my Drill Team. Weird. But they cool thing is they always remember me as the cool German girl. Talking of Germany btw something freaky is happening at the wall. As I was setting my route today I looked down at the boulder and I noticed that Tim had marked three top outs on the top. Funny thing is the tape color and the order make up the flag of Germany. *Proud* Then as I'm looking at the top of belay bar one, I noticed the same thing. The three top outs are in the some color and order as the German Flag. It's kinda freaky. Anyways, I better get to go to bed and let's hope I'm not going to be hyper at 5am in the morning again.

Funny Convo with my old roommate Audrey. Love ya girl.

snowflakeanni: well, have fun with that, i'm gonna be busy at the comp this weekend
silVer1440: oh yeah! vertical horizons?
snowflakeanni: vertical plains audrey
snowflakeanni: It's called Vertical Plains
silVer1440: yeah, that

Weekend

My weekend in a nutshell:
Saturday: Setting routes for 10 hours
Sunday: Studying for 10 hours
I'm hoping next weekend will be less monotone.
Anyway, I got the following from Jay's Blog and I thought it was cool, cause the first thing that popped into my head was pink dress. Ok, i'm off to bed. Night :)

If you read this
You must post a memory of me.
It can be anything you want!
It can be good...or bad.
Just so long as it happened.
Then post this to your journal,
and see what people remember about you

Rants

So here are my rants for today:
~Walmart is stupid for not having any parchment paper in the entire store.
~People that watch you put all your groceries in the car for 10 minutes just so they can park 2 feet closer to the door while holding up all the traffic are even more stupid.
~People in huge cars that drive like they own the world and almost kill you are the most stupid of them all.
~Oh yeah and Enterprise is stupid too cause they are claiming damage to the rental car the I didn't cause. Blah

After I put that up as my away message at least four people asked me if I had a stressful day. To be honest it wasn't that bad. I got to sleep in and then go to my 11 o'clock fluids class. Then to do a quick Walmart run (on which the rantings started). It wasn't anything major though. Maybe I shouldn't use the angry smily face so loosly ;). Anyway after that Erica and I went to Home Depot to buy wood for the Casino Tables for Casino Night on February 19th. Everyone should come (Hint, Hint). After a fun little incident on Slide, Erica and I barely made it to the meeting and then I had to leave again to do some shop training. So except for the running around from 3 til 10 tonite, my day was pretty good and not too stressy.

Now since I'm already in a ranting mood...ok, I admit it I just wanna talk since that's what I do best (besides organizing of course). Interesting subject....crushes. So you get this crush on a guy and you like him and then you get upset if you don't see him for a day and then when you do see him you are dissappointed he didn't talk to you more but at the same time you really enjoy hanging out with him. Then in my case you would never let him know that you actually have a crush on him because you are not really sure if he likes you too and you just don't want to let other people know how you feel. Then at the same time crushes just seem so superficial, so high school, and you are mad at yourself for that, on the other hand something could come out of this, I mean after all there is a reason why you have this crush, why you like this guy. Just something intriguing about him. Anyway, as y'all can tell I'm kinda frustated with this entire crush...emotions...drama...whatever thing. I'm rather confused myself, I'm also mad at myself for keeping my feelings bottled up, for staying in my bubble, for worrying to much about what other people think of me and for rambling on and writting unuseful stuff. Thus I'm just gonna go to bed and have a truly stressful day tomorrow. I think I'm pretty much busy from 8 til 6ish, then I'm probably gonna get something great for dinner before a very stressful week starts at 7 pm with stripping the wall. Alrighty, good talk..(dang opc lingo)..good night.
