Retired
This blog has officially been retired. I blogged here in the spring of 2006 to chronicle my adventures while studying abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I have since upgraded my blogging platform and launched a few new blogs.

Procrastination is my middle name
Who: Your favorite blogging brunette
What: Procrastinating/Blogging
Where: Pi Phi House
When: Between work and OPI prep class
Why: Because the thought of the six letter T word makes me want to llorar
Just finished up some work on the Croft website. I like doing that work because it is pretty flexible and I get paid $8 an hour. It is much better than study abroad, which I am starting to consider my volunteer work. Since it is on direct deposit it doesn't even feel like I am getting paid. I guess its worth the few extra bucks though, right?! I should have started working there a long time ago. Today SA was filled with preping for the Mississippi Gathering. Should be pretty neat. Lots of work involved though. Also we are working on a project to advertise SA to greeks. That is kind of fun too. I am going to plan a big Pi Phi info session and story time which might be really cool.
Today I also invoiced Oxford Landscape for the webdesign I did for them. It will be nice to get that extra money. I should have invoiced them a long time ago, as my father so kindly pointed out, but I mean it is hard to remember that stuff amidst thesis and other school stuff!
Today I am going to go to the union to buy a class ring. Is that totally geeky? I think it will end up being a neat investment. I want a red stone. So that it can match everything else in my life right now.
I have started noticing that I have themed my life in colors. I have also noticed that my school colors have played a big influence in this trend. First, on my first day of school in Kindergarden my mom sent me with a canvas bag that had red straps and my name embroidered in it. Bailey's was purple. Weird how she ended up at TCU (purple) and I ended up at Ole Miss (red). Don't know, just a thought. So when I was in HS my whole room was decorated in Blue and White...Eagle colors. I also wore a ton of blue and white. And, most of my bags were blue and white. When I started Cheer Station, things started a black/red trend. And that has continued into my college career because Ole Miss is red and navy. All my luggage and my entire room is red/black. Weird huh. Yeah.
I am thinking of actually changing my blog to black and red to make it match the rest of my life. In light of my trip to Paris/London for spring break I am going to need a new face for this site. I promise it is going to be way cute once I have the time to sit down and make the graphics.
Okay I am going to do thesis now. Maybe.

Monday is the new Friday!
Monday is so the new Friday. I know many people would disagree but I decided you have to change your attitude towards Monday to like it. I mean, here we are at the beginning of a whole new week with endless possibilities ahead of us! Seriously, when I think about it I have spent way too much time hating Mondays. Maybe my new found obsession with coffee has something to do with my joy for the beginning of the week. We'll have to see.
T-minus four days till our thesis first draft is due. This is crunch time. I am sitting here at Uptown Coffee, my newest inspirational place to write thesis, blogging to get my creative juices flowing and my hands in prime typing mode.
I heard on BBC radio yesterday about a study that proved that people who have coffee in their system are more receptive to ideas that they might not agree with. I thought that was interesting and I am a big fan of coffee, and new ideas so I was pumped. I wonder if that is why people like to talk politics at coffee shops? Probably. Note to self: make coffee shop friends to discuss new ideas with.
Being here makes me really want a Mac. I want to be a trendy coffee shop girl. Seriously. I do.
Speaking of trendy...what is the deal with this whole 1980 flashback style that is going on? I saw three sorority girls walking into their house today (which will remain unnamed) who looked like they walked straight out of a Tiffany concert. I wanted to ask them if they were going to chapter or back to the future. The leggings, plastic earrings, oversized belts, in moderation can be cute, but all of it together brings back images of Stephanie in Full House.
Okay I think my fingers are all loose and ready to start a thesis marathon. Wish me luck!

A case of the Mondays
I feel a lot better today. Except for the fact that I barely slept last night. I just had so much adrenaline that I wasn't tired. I stayed up and watched Season 9 disc 2 of Friends. It normally puts me to sleep to watch Friends but I was on some really funny ones and I just couldn't go to sleep! I watched the one when Ross and Rachel hire the Manny. Priceless.
I am at the Pi Phi house waiting for Spanish at 2. I hate this gap between my classes. It is such a waste of time. More LNC interviews tonight and and Oil and Gas law test tomorrow. I think I'll take a nap right now and get rested up for the big night.
Signing off for now...

Back to Blogging
So I took a good 3 month break from bloggin but I just couldn't help thinking about it constantly so here I am, back at it again! Even though my blogs won't be nearly as cool as when I was abroad, I figure this will at least give me a medium to put my thoughts out there, and really just vent what I am thinking. It helped me get through my abroad experience and I hope that it will make an interesting read when I am here as well.
I think the funny thing that is so different is that there was so little drama when I was in Argentina. Yes, the occasional boyfriend fight or homesick moment, but it was all relatively calm. I loved living in a place where I could concentrate so hard on my studies and really learning a new culture. Opening up and seeing life for what it is, not just the superficial stuff that goes on here around Oxford.
I feel like Argentina helped me to grow up. I feel way beyond many of my classmates because I have this experience and this view of the world that they are missing out on. Traveling can certainly give you that wisdom but I think living in a foreign county is really a unique experience and really changes a person. I definetly matured.
Today I was cleaning and bored so I rearranged the furniture in the living room. My roommates flipped out. I guess I could have asked them, but I didnt figure it would be a big deal. I mean, I think it is fun to have a bit of a change and toss things up every once in a while! They don't apperantly. I am living in a castle full of princesses and they do not want their things to be touched. Oh well, I am just going to ignore it and move on. Why does taking the high road have to be so hard sometimes? Its like I know it shouldnt be a big deal but they didn't have to be hateful and rude about it. Seriously, asking me to move it back would have been fine. Sending me rude text messages, totally uncalled for. I just don't see how people can have so little respect for the feelings of other people. Seriously.
You have probably noticed I have been watching a lot of Grey's Anatomy. I mean for shear count of the "Seriouslys" mentioned above. I am beyond addicted to that show. I love the anticipation of Thursday nights and finally getting to join my friends, Mer, Der, Izzy, George, Alex, Burktina, and of course Bailey, for an hour of witty, unrealistic, medically dramatic fun! It is a nice escape to analyze the drama in other people's lives, take a break from reality, and guess what is going to happen next week. I am also very obsessed with the Writers Blog at http://www.greyswriters.com - they are hilarious and its worth reading for any loyal grey's fan.
Okay well I am off to bed. I have worn myself out so much that I cannot possible be upset about the furniture thing anymore. Sleep sweet.
