'Kay, so...

Today was definitely better than yesterday. Five hours straight outside in this beautiful, beautiful weather did that to me. I woke up feeling a lot better. I had breakfast, went to class, found out I did pretty damn good on the Soils midterm, went to the optional math lecture (caught up on everything I missed yesterday -sighs in relief-) talked to my Plant Science teacher (Dr. Dave) about the binder I forgot in lab, he said he didn't pick it up (but he was going to look for me, yaaay), then spent an hour toolin' around campus for Plant ID. Decided to have lunch, it wasn't too bad. Then I went to my 3 hour Landscape management lab and we planted trees :D It was all good fun.

So today was DEFINITELY a better day than yesterday. Definitely.

That, and I just finished downloading the Special A anime.
I'm still wondering how the hell I started reading/watching shoujo, since the only shoujo I liked before college was Trinity Blood (which was practically shounen). -sighs- Ah well. I'm not going to worry about it unless I catch myself fangirling over yaoi. -shudders- SO NASTY EW. DX DX DX



As for today, my room smells faintly of crisp fall leaves. But again, we had another plant tour in Plant ID.

urgishflurg.

It's cold out. And it's raining - not the kind of rain that's fun and worth while, but that stupid little caught-between-drizzling-and-spitting-and-maybe-actually-raining kinda rain that's just... uncool.

I had a midterm today, for a class I don't even understand.

I was pretty much well conned into joining some club I probably won't enjoy.

I had to work outside - in this weather - for the last three hours.

Stupid BitTorrent is telling me that, instead of taking two days to download my anime, it decided this morning that it's going to take a week or two. Which means I probably won't have Neverwinter Nights for... oooh, say, three weeks? (fuck. Seifer's even back nao D:)

...but you guys know what?

Today was an amazing day. And I feel strangely at peace with myself.

I went to Soils class at 8 this morning, for an hour, then math came... and it was optional, so I came back here and cussed at BitTorrent for being slow. An hour later, I went to Plant Science and took my midterm - considering how much I haven't learned in that class and how stupid it is, that damned midterm wasn't all that bad. I'm most likely going to pass. Then Plant ID class was just a plant tour - normally very imperative that one goes on the plant tours, but... it was for herbaceous perennials, so instead of tooling around campus and letting the long tours cut into my lunch time, I didn't go. Besides, the test isn't going to have livesamples for when that comes up, there's going to be pictures. Of them in spring. Hoo-hah. So half of my classes this morning = unvisited. And lunch?

Oh fuck yes, lunch was awesome. Free pizza, w00t w00t! And the school started a horticulture club, for the seniors and juniors of the program to be able to get to know eachother. Well over half of everyone in the Hort. program showed up, and there was FREE PIZZA (and pop - I grabbed some extras on my way out so my fridge here is stocked, hwahwa). And the club is mostly about fund raising, which is why it sucks. ...but, because we're fundraising, we'll get to go on trips and badass competitions. >=D f#@% yes. AND THERE WAS FREE PIZZA. No icky caf food for lunch, yeeey~

And after lunch, I had my three hour outdoor lab for landscape management.

And I loved it.

Sure, it was cold, and that pussyass-sucky-rainy raining, but it was fun. We tooled around on the mule and the gator after moving a few plants around in the nursery and pulling weeds outta 'em, then we weeded the gardens around the Vet. Tech building (I hate the vet. tech people, but kicking the shit out of mushrooms (literally, I got to kick them everywhere) was damn fun). Then we pruned the shit out of this poor little ground-cover shrub (called a "winter creeper", it's frickin' awesome, I want one) but since only five of us did it we like, get bonus marks or something for doing more than everyone else (and considering each lab is 5% of my final mark that rocks). Then we tooled around some more on the mule or the gator, and planted a whole shit load of mums out by the main sign (so if any of you drive by Ridgetown anytime soon, and you pass the college and see the kickass garden by the sign, think of me, awright? XD). We learned that the people from the town that are more apt for commiting doucebagger often steal plants from the nursery from the school, because they seem to be under the impression we're all funded or something, or that the plants are free for us and therefore them or something. We're nooooot. Our school has to buy those plants you assholes, so stop f#@$ing stealing our shit. Don't steal our compost either, we don't spend lots of research and time and money and work on it for you to think it's there so you can have it. ...Anyways, I'll stop ranting.

While cleaning up the garden before planting mums we found a coke bottle filled with a very questionable yellow substance. We all knew what it was, but Chris (teacher) flat out told us he refused to admit that that's what it might be; he kept on telling us he would designate it as being "aged coke that has lost it's pigments and turned flat and yellow". We decided to let him be like that, as he threw out the bottle without directly touching it. XD

After that, we tooled around A LOT more on the gator and found saplings and dug 'em up and put 'em in pots for the nursery. I found a red oak, and I fell in love with it. <3 It's my baby. I wanna take it home or something, but I need to ask Kennedy (teacher) or Chris (also teacher) first D= because Kennedy was pretty excited about it, too. -clings to tree- but he can keep his tulip trees, I want my red oak D:

Ah well.

It was a lot of fun, that's definately my favorite class. <3 <3

So today has been AWESOME so far.

If this luck of mine keeps up, hopefull BitTorrent will like, go faster and get my anime download done by tomorrow D=< I don't want to have to wait all weekend with a 3/4 finished anime download sitting around >3> It wouldn't be so bad if it let me watch the episodes, but it seems to download in random peices, so I pretty much well will have NOTHING actually on my computer until the download finishes.


Remind me to send and extra <3 to the friend who showed me how to download all the coolest free shit in the world. God, I love making friends with hackers. XD

And I miss having my own room.
And I miss my posted of Kisame. (which is actually here at Ridgetown, I'm just too much of a chickenshit to put it up)
And I miss my puppy.
And I miss my friends.
And I miss my sister. And maybe my brother, too.
And I miss my puppy.
And I miss having satellite tv.
And I miss my gamecube.
And I miss my puppy.
And I miss food that DOESN'T make me sick two out of three days of the week.
And I miss having a room with a single shower, all to myself.
And I miss my puppy.
And I miss being allowed to drink from a glass bottle. (cans, ick).
And I miss my drawing books.
And I miss my puppy.
And I miss Saturday night anime (which I see every sat. night anyways, but that's beside the point.)
And I miss having anime-fan-friends that don't like yaoi (nevertheless Jenny, i luv ya, I do, it's just... weird. XD)
And I miss my puppy.
And I miss my bed.
And I miss....

oh, enough of this fucking whining.
but I do miss Zetsu, my puppy.

I'll try to be postive.
Mmmm..
...
I have highspeed here?

Yeah. That's all I like here. Well, the classes aren't bad...

Speaking of classes, I missed my favorite one tody because DAMN LUNCH MADE ME SICK. ...AGAIN. Auuugh. I missed my three-hour class that I have every wednesday. and aparently we got to climb trees with badass harnesses AND I MISSED IT. -glares- I took a fucking four hour nap instead. Becuase I couldn't move. Because I was sick. So I got to miss my Landscape Management three hour lab. Fuuuuck.

Moving on... -breaths in- at least I have highspeed.
Highspeed. Highspeed. Yeah. I can't use Caramelldansen to cheer me up anymoar because it's depressing because it reminds me of that fucking long animation everyone keeps pestering me to make to that song. T_T For whyyyy?

ANYWAYS.

I'm taking a shower, then I'm going to bed.

This is hte second last night I have to sleep here on these godaweful hard beds this week, then I can go home for the weekend. -breaths- FuckImissmypuppy.

note to you guys; don't read Loveless. It... makes no sense. And there's a gay pedo. And everyone (except some) have cat ears/tails. bothuurs me.

Bwuh, is not so good.

today wasn't all that great.
I have a Plant Science test tomorrow... once again, the whole class is preparing to fail.

Plant ID becamse ridiculously hard. Memorizing five leaf shapes, tree names, and botanical names last week was tricky, but easy at the same time.

This week I have to do fucking FIFTEEN. DX I'm doomed for this test. fuckfuckfuck.

In Landscape management, we got to re-seed a huge patch on the main lawn... woo... >3> Well, we got to drive around on all the different kind of big, badass mowers the school has first (so fun!) but i didn't, because I was excessively lazy. And Chris, the teacher-that-could-pull-off-being-a-student-because-he's-not-old-and-he's-awesome, asked why me and the person I was chatting with (shit, what's her name again?) why we weren't trying out the machines. She hates mowers, and she had a headache. I flat out told him, "I'm too damn lazy."
and he said "Alright, fair enough," and laughed.
It was great. XD but I got full marks for just showing up - three hours for 2% of my final mark is not so big a deal. Besides, the lady I was chatting with... well... let's say I don't feel COMPLETELY like I don't belong any more D:


And I still haven't finished Sokkenai doing the Caramelldansen. (And to answer your question Trav, yeah, he's one of my OC's.)

First post? |D

I was inspired by TB to do this so BLAME HIM for all the obscenities you'll find hurr D=<

But aaaanyways.
Yeah.
College.
Best class so far? Landscape management. Our teacher (who could easily be mistaken for a student - he looks and acts like one, it's good fun) basically - they give us tools and let us run free all over campus butchering plants. D I kid you not. They even say "don't worry if you think you killed it, it's a plant, it'll grow back."

Yeah... it was pretty sweet.

I've got some laaame assignments
and
Pub Night tickets (tomorrow night is Pub Night) are all runn'd out so it kinda sucks.

Ah well, all in all, Ridgetown isn't bad so far. Could be worse - in fact, there's lots of other places (coughcoughSeneca) I'd much rather be, but... at least I get to go home on weekends and see my puppy. <3
S'aaaaaalll gooooood.
...
Okay, once I get some beer up here it'll be all good. For now it just kinda sucks.
