hooray! an update! no need to stand.

i [lamely] sometimes have the fleeting thought, "i should write about this in my blog". however, since it is fleeting, i almost never come back to it. i find equally unexciting things to do instead. tonight, i have had no such thoughts, yet am fairly bored and in a sharing mood [which, who are we kidding, i'm always in]. and so, random facts about me, if only to try to promote further dustings-off of this silly thing:

• my grandma passed away. i felt, while it was happening as well as for a few days afterwards, that i needed to write about it, yet never really found the balls to do so. now that i'm just throwing it in here nonchalantly i kind of feel like a piece of crap, but it's something about me. it belongs in it's own entry, and one of these days i'll probably write it all out for my own well being instead of on a www blog. for the record, it was one of the most emotional things i've ever had to deal with and i sincerely and selfishly have now decided that i hope that everyone i know lives longer than i do. and that my parents live forever.
• i love she's the man. you know, the movie with amanda bynes. nice subject change. but after the downer above, i felt the need to make myself smile. which i do when i think about she's the man. not only because watching it makes me laugh outloud, but because of my unapologetic love for it. rent it. love it.
• i still need 20 hours working with kids to get into the college of education. i'm really sick of it. yes, it really gets you in classrooms, if that's the direction you take when acquiring the 350 hours you need, but it is such a pain in the ass. unless it's with kindergarteners... then it's a fun pain.
• i've decided i'm going to be in school a lot longer than i anticipated. i need to take so many more classes it's embarrassing. i probably took one class in the three years i've been in school that i didn't need. maybe. even that one may have gone towards my elective requirements. i think colleges just want to suck your money and should definitely inform students when they enroll that unless they take classes over summer, or any other break they have, they'll never graduate in four.
• i'm going to see the dashboard confessional concert tomorrow night with tim. i'm pretty excited. since i went to summerfest once this year, and only knew two songs of the band i "saw" [aka listened to while staring at the back of some girl's head the entire time] anyway, i don't think it counts... and it's been far too long since i saw a band i actually enjoyed. probably last summer's something corporate? yikes. too long.
• school starts in a few weeks, and it's bringing on the usual mixed feelings. in a way i always like going back because it's such a different environment and life than the one i have here... which is a dislike as well, i suppose. i barely talk to anyone from school by the time the end of summer comes around, forcing me to recreate some sort of social life every year i go back. then there's the actual learning portion... fdjkasl;kj i don't even want to think about it, really. i figure at least one of these semesters i'm really going to have to try. maybe i'll work on going to class everyday, and work my way up to studying. i'm a little worried.

alright. now i need to sleep. well, read. then sleep. perhaps i will return soon.
