Knocking on wood...?

Alright, small update.

These past two weeks have been so hectic. I think it's the anticipation of going home and my parents would concur. I refuse to believe it..haha

My weeks have been jampacked with last minute things for my classes (hellllllooo procrastination), work, school, my DIS, and then getting enough time to sleep (I actually was SO tired the other day I couldn't stay up for class. My class was at 11, pathetic). I rarely have time to think. Mind you, I'm so broke I've been eating peanut butter sandwiches for the past week (hellllo money management). It's going to be nice to go home, relax, and eat fo' free.

But, not really.

My mom has this intense schedule for me that I can't even begin to digest.

Here we go:

Friday (tomorrow)- going to Ocala to watch races? with my Aunt. Um, okay.

The weather is awful, so are strange noises in the night.

Some things I would like to discuss that have no relevance to anything whatsoever (I REALLY am running low on things to write about; I do the same thing every week)

-Stumbleupon.com- okay, you want to get addicted to another website? It's a tool bar that you can fit to your interests. You press the "stumble" button and different webpages show up according to what you like. It's amazing/interesting. I've learned a lot the past few nights because of it.

- Umbrellas- If you're flinging that thing open, be careful of whose behind you. I almost got an eye poked out because this girl just opened hers out of no where. I mean, we all hate being in the rain. Don't make it worse by using your umbrella as a weapon.

- Alright, so the big story for the week.

Not so Happy Halloween

My apologies for this being short and not too sweet. I've been so busy with papers and things that I can barely remember to, you know, write a blog.

Anyway, Halloween.

I don't like it. I know, it's supposed be a time where you can be whatever you like. However,  I  like me! I don't know. The thought of trying to find a costume and be something creative gives me slight anxiety. I wish it was back to when no one cared what you were because you were just so darn cute! I seriously have no desire to dress up as anything (and so I didn't). I wish I could of gone home to see my favorite kids in their costumes!

I did go to the Corey Smith concert. It was, you know, the same as usual. Good crowd, good music, and a good time.

I've FINALLY made a decision about grad school (yay!). I'm going to go for my Master's in Family and Marriage Counseling. For two reasons: 1) I can practice after I get my Master's. 2) I can either get my PhD or go to Law School. Which will be pretty sweet because I will have experience and a higher degree.  Or I can just quit any thought of schooling and become a free diver in the Keys (trust me, that fantasy takes over my life). I feel like,  since I have the ability to, I should do  something great with my life. I mean, why wouldn't I try to get the highest degree possible with the hopes of changing the future?

An Open Letter to People or Entities Unlikely To Respond

*I got the idea from mcsweeneys.net- check it out!

 
 
 
Dear…
 
            …Internet,
 
            Where do I begin? You are always there when I need you the most. In my good times, in my bad times, and times where I just don’t want to write that paper. Without you, I wouldn’t know what my roommate is doing tonight nor would I know the lyrics to my favorite song. I don’t know how I could survive procrastination without you. I would love to meet your creator (Al Gore? Right?) and thank them for giving me endless opportunities. You’re the best.
 
          …Wind,
 
            While I know that you like to breeze around and do your wind thing, I really don’t appreciate blowing a gust that lifts up my dress. I mean, not everyone on FSU’s campus cares to see my bottom, nor do I care to show them. Can you please be more considerate next time you get a going?
 
          …LSATs,
           
            In regards to the last letter, Can we please pretend as if I never sent it? I really just want to send you that email right back with my score. It’s a constant reminder of how I should of studied/prepared/cared more for you. I guess I’ll see you again in February.
 
        ...Girls in My Literature Class,
 
            Syllabus, it’s called a SYLLABUS! You know that thing that the professor assigns at the beginning of the semester to show what we are doing the WHOLE semester. Don’t be surprised when you have to finish a book by that day, because you had from AUGUST to read it. Oh, wait, I’m sorry, you couldn’t read it because you were studying for the open book, open notes midterm. I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to get so harsh. Oh, by the way, no one really likes Gilmore Girls.
 
 
       … My Past Self,
           
            While you were such an awesome and fun person, I’m upset that you had no care in the world. You’re money management skills suck, you stopped caring about the LSAT, and you manage to say things that you don’t mean to say. I’m highly disappointed in the way you handle situations and make it hard for the present self to deal with. I know, going out with friends and being the center of attention is real fun, but did you REALLY need to spend all that money? Was it worth it? I sure hope so.
 
       …My Future Self,
 
            You know what happened to “My Past Self”, so take a leaf from her book. There are things you can do and can’t do. It's not acceptable to blow your paycheck on unnecessary things. Can we learn about the concept of savings? I know, I know, Past self and Present self should of thought about that when they started college, but they were young and easily pressured. It’s almost your last semester, SHAPE UP!
 
      …The song “Dirty Diana” (Michael Jackson),
           
            You have trapped me. I sometimes wish I never met you, but then you give me great happiness, so that would be impossible. Why, I ask myself every day, is it necessary to listen to you repeatedly? I heard you 5 minutes ago. Why am I listening to you again? Thank you, for being my new obsession.
 
      …Running,
 
            You come a close second to “Dirty Diana”; I hope I keep you around just as long.
 
        …School,
 
            Thank you for being the only constant in my life. You make my week complete (literally). If it weren't for you, I would be a bum that runs while listening to “Dirty Diana” and stops for the occasional facebook update.
 
                                                Best,
                                                            Chelsea

 

"Doesn't everybody deserve to have the good life?"

           Alright everyone, I don’t have much to write about today. You see, I was supposed to get my LSAT scores today. In that spirit, I was going to write ALL about law school and how excited/disappointed I am with the score.

 
            Guess what? It’s actually a funny little story. Do you ever say things/think things that are just, wrong? Example:
 
            Random Question: Why are there only two copies, shouldn’t there be more?
 
            Appropriate Answer: We reuse them, idiot.
-          Me asking why there are only two copies of the story for my DIS. I wasn’t actually called an idiot, but I would have thought that.
 
So, think of me being in that mindset. I obsessively check the LSAC.org website to see why my test scores aren’t up yet. I know, I know, its part of my addictive personality, geez. Anyway, I finally find the date on when my scores will be emailed to me. YES, FRIDAY! So I tell everyone I know that I’ll be getting my scores this Friday. I’m anticipating the day, I can’t wait any longer. I go to check the site, AGAIN (because, hey, they may be up early?). The date said Oct 19th. Last time I checked Oct 19th is on Monday.
 
      I was so convinced that the date was for this Friday. I have no idea why? It was like I immediately said, “Oct 19th, Friday, Check”.
 
      Sorry to disappoint everyone that is as anxious as I am. It sure was a big disappointment to me.
 
      In a lighter spirit (hmm..might have to use this word more often), Parent’s Weekend was a big success. Everyone adored my parents and they definitely had a lot of fun. I’m glad both of them were able to come! It was awesome for my last year in college. I’ll post pictures when my mom sends them to me!
 
      Speaking of, I signed up for my LAST semester on Wednesday. It’s weird, you know, like it’s actually happening. I’m still not ready, but I feel like everything is going to work out for the best. I mean, why shouldn’t it? I am actually an optimist, in real life.
       
      Now I’m in my DIS, cursing the people who decide that they can’t show up for the experiment THEY signed up for. That is probably one of my biggest peeves. Seriously, you signed up for it. SHOW! Well, I guess I’ve done that before, but I try not to. I try very hard not to. I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and enjoys this weather! (If it’s getting cooler in other parts of FL…or the country? Awkward)
 
    Oh, before I forget. I'm back on my workout regime! I know, I know, commitment, whatever. I ran the track today at the Leach. Okay, ran/walked, but you get the point. I think I'm going to go run the St. Mark's Trail tomorrow. Maybe. No I'll do it. Possibly
 
      Until next time!

- Oh title credit to Dave Matthews Band- Spaceman. Good song, check it out! 

A bunch of nonsense that is my life...

After much anticipation, I finally took the LSATs.

I'm actually applying what I learned in class to real life. For the first time.

Please excuse the lame entry...

....I'm not at my best right now.

There’s nothing really to update on my end this week I feel like it was such a blur. I was sick on Monday and Tuesday/Wednesday. I’m finally getting over my cold, only to have this awful cough. This is the WORSE time to get sick. At least for me, that is.
 
            I take the LSATs on Saturday. I’ve gotten to the point where it is what it is. That’s really all I have to say about that.
 
            My cousin came up for the Jacksonville State game 2 weekends ago (has it really been that long since I’ve updated?!). She is precious. I’m so glad I got to see her! She’s coming up for the USF game, too.
 
            So, how ‘bout them Noles?! My complex doesn’t have cable (go figure, we’ve been watching ABC family for the past week) so I didn’t get to see the game. My friend was receiving updates from her dad though. It’s good to be in the top 25. I hear that game was AWESOME.
 
            Like I said, nothing really new going on here. I’ll try to be more interesting next time!

"You don't even go there!"- said about a thousand times at the game

            My dad reminded me of a fact that I forgot to mention (but is painfully obvious) I’M A SENIOR! I don’t know if he wants me to finally graduate so I can move on with my life or what? (kidding, dad). Anyway, I can’t seem to get all nostalgic yet. I mean, I still have two semesters to go…
            The Miami/FSU game was the most intense weekend I’ve had in my life. My roommate’s friends came; 5 boys were sleeping in my living room. I didn’t even see the game because of lack of seating (or not getting to the stadium 3 hours early or whatever I should have done). Anyway, I know we lost and I ended up going home and being in bed by 11.
            For everyone that doesn’t know, my whole family is UM fans. I was going to UM games since I was 6 or something. Just imagine that one. I’m in a football pool, as well, for the NFL and I hear it from everyone! My family isn’t one to let this kind of stuff go.
            I’m starting my DIS next week! I’m going to be a busy girl and I’m actually excited to be working with other students (I know, lame) and researching? Okay, I know. This is lame, but I just woke up from a nap (the pinnacle of my existence) and I’m not being my usual witty self.
            So, I told myself this weekend I was going to finish the wonderful Faulkner book I have to read by Tuesday and study for the LSATs (still?). I don’t know how well that is going to work out. Game days are just so tempting. Either way I hope everyone has a good weekend!
