Water

Personally, I think that regular water is gross. Even though there is not taste, i don't care for it.

Water is the one essential that man kind can not live without. And here i sit not drinking it. hmmm. Alright so i drink it sometimes, like i take water bottles to class. but i would rather not have it.

I would prefer something more flavorful. Like flavored water is good. or gatorade or just anything else but water. Except carbonated water. thats gross too. I use to drink alot of pop but that all stopped when i had like 2 cavieties. So that was that for pop.

I have noticed that i would most rather drink water out of a straw than anything else. Ice cubes i could eat plain. I love ice cubes.

T.C. Parking

T.C. parking, let’s just say, sucks. I mean everyone who goes to school here or who lives around here knows it’s bad.

We have like 5 separate parking lots for each building and those students in that program. And the parking lots only hold like 20 cars. And not to mention, kids sneak in the parking lots all the time. I would if I was brave enough. So we need more parking lots.

In the winter is really bad. First, the snow blocks at least half the parking spaces. So now we have to park farther away and it’s like below zero. And the plows leave excess snow everywhere so little cars cannot get through. Like today, I have no idea if I had parked in a legitimate spot. And I actually think I parked in all yellow, but I couldn’t tell. O well.

I would not like to live around T.C. But I suppose once school starts to let out, it gets a lot better.

Shopping Problem

I love to shop. What girl doesn’t? But ever since I have gotten a job and my parents don’t help me as much with gas and everything, I have been saving my money. Which BLOWS. I want to move into my own place soon, so spending money is not an option. I need to save everything that I can.

I always get this urge to buy something. So I occasionally will go out buy something, but it will be like a shirt or a hat or something little, yet, only one thing at a time. After I have bought the item, I will think to myself ‘well why did I buy this, I could have bough something better, and this is stupid to spend my money on’. So I often take the item back. That has happened to me like the last 4 times I have tried to but something. It is an Impulse buy, and I don’t like it.

I would rather have a high paying job rather than my almost minimum wage job. I want houses to be less expensive, and I really want to move out now!

Laughter

I believe that everyone should laugh. Not just the giggling and chuckling. But I mean the actually laugh till you start to tear up. The laugh where if feels as if you had done 1000 sit up, and one that makes you fall to the floor. I have always been known to laugh at anything. I was voted Best Laugh in high school. I can see how some people can find it immature to laugh at something’s, but without that laughter, how else are you going to get a good outcome?

I tend to laugh at the ‘lame’ jokes that someone tells. Which are not really funny, just the fact that it was so dumb. If someone may trip or fall I tend to laugh, of course I make sure they are ok first. I laugh at the dumb things people do when they think no one is looking, like in their car. The one thing that I tend to laugh at, which I wish I wouldn’t, is awkward moments. Those are the worst. When everyone is silent and the moment is just not fun at all. I will start laughing. Also when I get yelled at I tend to smirk and hold back the laughter as much as I can.

Laughing has always been a part of me. And it is the happiest part of me enjoy.

"Last House on the Left"

This weekend actually like a week ago I watched what was suppose to be a scary movie. And like suspenseful. Well, it was neither. It was honestly disturbing. And maybe some of you have seen the movie The Last House On The Left but holy hell. It was in no way scary, just gross and sick and disturbing. YUCK. Anyways I could not sleep for a while and that was how I got the idea for this blog.
I am not a big fan of scary movies, but I always get forced to watch them so I guess they are alright. But my big fear after watching a scary movie, is “what if that happened to me?” I always always always think of that. And that’s why I get so paranoid afterwards. I mean this chick got raped, and shot and left for dead. I would be so scared. And to be honest I covered my eyes most of the time because it was too much to watch.

Which brings me to my next thought, who would ever think to make that into a movie??? And after one has watched it, who would even buy it to watch it again??? Who would let that movie be released into the public??? That is just wrong. I have talked to many people after watching it and they even couldn’t watch all of it.

I personally hated the movie, and believe that it should never have been able to become a movie.

CNA

I started this new class. It is a CNA class that I have always wanted to take because I wanted to become a nurse. So the day finally came and I started the class. But a bummer is that the class goes from 4:30 till 10 every night. But oh well. The first couple nights were all lecture, so that was a longgggg 5 ½ hours. But I enjoyed what was being taught. Than we got into Lab and what we might actually do when we are a CNA. And it was fun when it was the little things. Anyway with this class we have to do 120 hours of clinical in an actual nursing home. Which I thought would be fun and educational. So from the start of the class I was looking forward to going out on clinical. Finally the day came to have our first Clinical and … I HATE it.

My goodness, I don’t think I even like walking into a nursing home. The class was of no help to what we are suppose to actually do. And what was taught, like I even remembered it. Well, the first day of clinical we did not do much with the residents, just took a tour of the facility and other little things. But I was not happy with that I am going to have to do.

That is wayyyy to much responsibility for an 18 year old girl. I mean I could forget to sit someone up after they eat, and they could die! I would feel terrible. UGH!

hmm

Well, Today for all of you reading this um-important blog, I am discussing why in the world I can never get a blog done on time. And this really upsets me when I forget to do it because we have a whole darn week to do it. Anyways..

1) I am a procrastinator. I do not really want to do homework ever so I always do something easier for another class before I do this. Even though this blog is not hard at all to write. It is most likely the easiest homework assignment one can give.

2) I never know what to write about. My ideas are always lame. And I cannot think if a deep topic to talk about so there is an actual reason for this writing. Like right now, there is no reason. And even when I do have a little topic, I can never elaborate on it anyways.


3) I am not an extravagant writer like most of you are. So therefore I feel like I let you down because there is not deep point to my blogs. O well.

I really am all out of excuses now. and i think that that completes the list of why i never get it done. I get anyother homework done.

Napping

I would have to say that I am a firm believer in taking naps. Without a nap I most likely would be the crabbiest person out there. And no I don’t take naps everyday but occasionally I tend to.

Most of my days I get to much sleep as it is. I have no idea why that makes me extremely tired in the day when I get too much sleep at night, but it happens almost 85% of the time. I usually go to sleep between 10 and 12 and wake up anywhere from 8 to 10. So if I went to bed at 11 and woke up at 9 that would be 10 hours of sleep! Which I think is good for the body but it is obviously not. I would say I average about 8 to 10 hours of sleep a night. This is WAYYY too much. I think my perfect night sleep is around 6 hours.

Also I am not a morning person. I can’t get myself to get out of bed if it is before 8. I’ll just lay there, not moving and all upset I have to get up that early. When in reality it is not that early. I also enjoy lying in my bed for a while after I wake up in the mornings. I tend to plump on the couch for a while too after I have gotten out of bed. The good thing is though, my earliest class ever is 11:20. So that is a plus.

Mornings are just not a good time for me. What am I going to do when hunting comes around?...

Psychology

I believe this is my New Favorite Subject...

I have never taken a Psychology class before this year. And now that i think about it, I dont think they offered a Psychology class in my high school. Which now is kind of a bummer because i like it alot, but honestly i dont think i would have taken the class in high school even if they would have offered it. Anyways, It turns out i love this class. and i can't tell if i like the class or if it is the teacher that makes it so fun.

My Devolopmental Psychology class is an ITV class. and its not as sweet as it sounds. For those of you who dont know, and ITV class it just a normal class but there are a lot of TV's in the room. and for my class the teacher is teaching 3 classes at the same time all in different areas.

Well anways, about the class. I just really like it. I find the information we are learning interesting which is weird because it is school and it is not suppose to be interesting. :) I think i like to learn about the human body so much that learning more in-depth about our body is also interesting. It is amazing how deep things can get when talking about psychology.

The teacher is also very fun to be around. She has a lot of enegry and the class is never boring. It's like she remembers what it is like to be a student and she helps prevent the boring-ness. Even though it is a 2 hour class, it goes by fast. Also, I like the way she use's examples to help explain what she is teaching.

Well i dont know what it is about the class yet, But I like it.

My flag football

So basically, i was forced to join a flag football team with my friends. And yea i thought it would have been alot of fun, many things had gone wrong... Even though i am not particulary a good flag football player, i was ok. All the kids on our team i graduated with and so i knew all of them. 3 boys and 3 girls. And to be honest with you, they were all a bunch of goof balls. Which actually made the whole experiance seen more fun.

The Sign up Day
Anyways after i said i would join, no one to me that i had to 'sign up' over the internet. So the deadline day for the 'sign up' came and our captian, an hour after the deadline, asked if everyone had signed up. Well of couse i hadn't. So i had to rush home from whatever i was doing, and i can't really remember what that was, and made sure i got signed up. So that was our first obstical. Eventaully i signed up that day, and everything was ok.

The extreamly lame argument
well as a team we obvousally wanted to be matching when we played. So, a day before we played our first game, i sat with on of my friend, also a teammate, and we decited to wear all red. Becuase of the fact our high school colors were red and white and we knew everyone would have red. So we ended up telling our caption that we wanted to wear all red. Well... he obvousally wanted to wear all black and thats what he started to tell people. So we said that was fine. Thinking that he had told everyone to wear black, we showed up and there was 3 people in black, one in all white and 2 in red and white. So basically, our plan had failed. Another failure of our team.

The Game Day
Abby (a friend of mine) and I, had class till 3:30 and our game was at 4:30. so after school we just waited around till it was time to go. Well we were told that everyone was going to meet at the welcome center because some of us didn't know where we were going. So it was about 4:15 and we were still waiting for a player, which turns out was at the feild already.. another failure of our team. So we got to the field and started to check in. Well no one told me that we needed to have a Western ID to play... and guess what, I didn't have one. SWEET! it turns out one of the other girls on our team didn't have one either. (we failed again) Miraculously thought, we had 2 other girls with us. So they ended up playing, and with all that. We lost the game...

All in all, It was a good time!

Gloomy Days

This may sound wierd and unnatural, but i LOVE gloomy days. The days where it is cloudy out and a little chilly. So basically Fall and in some cases spring. I dont understand why i like these days so much, but i do. I think it may be that i feel very relaxed when it is cloudy out. and its almost like i am in no rush to do anything. but in reality i have a ton of homework to do... oh well. What can you do i guess. But I love it Expesially when it storms out! thats probobaly the highlight of my day! I have always been interested in thunderstorm and even though about going to study them for a career but i decited not to. Dont get me wrong, i like summer and the sun and the warm weather but theres something about fall that i really like. Winter though, i dont know, its alright i guess. I so a little snow boarding and a lot of sledding but thats about it for activities in the winter. It is almost like i have the opposite of seasonal depression. Instead of getting all depressed, i actaully like it a little more. The gloomy days also lead to my favorite thing, watching movies on the couch. which may sound like i am a couch potato, but yea i guess i can be at somes, but i also like any kind of outdoor activitie.

I am a simple person and therefor i write simple blogs :)

High School vs. College

Just the other day someone had asked me if I liked high school or college better. I had to stop and think a little bit. But in this entry I am going to compare high school life to college life, just because this is the only topic I came up with :)

High school. Every day you are required to go to every one of your classes. You can also rarely leave the building unless you had a pass to do so. The lunch food was gross as well, and it’s not like we had a lot of time to go and eat somewhere. We only had 5 minutes in between classes. Every day was the same. Same class, same hour every day. Also all classes were the same length of time. On the plus side, the homework was a lot easier and there was less of it. Teachers would get on you and remind you about any homework due for the next day. There were bells for the start and end of each Class. And every student was on the same schedule. It seemed like everyone knew everyone in high school, and no matter what hall you walked, it seemed like you would know that person and talk to them. but along with all those people can a whole lot of drama...

College. On the other hand, has a lot of differences. College is optional to you and you do not have to go everyday if you don’t want to. You can come and go as you please, even in the middle of class. Well I have never had a TC lunch but I do have time to go and eat somewhere. There seems to be a lot more time between classes and every day I come I have something different to do. There is a ton more homework now and it’s a lot harder. There is no teacher that “rides” you for not getting it done. No bell to end class, and that was a big change for me. I do not know hardly anyone anymore. It is more responsibility on me.

Personally I like some different aspects of both. And as of right now I cannot make up my mind.

Me.

I suppose for this blog I will tell you a little blog about myself.

My name is Brittany and this is my first year in college. I intend to take my generals here at TC for a year and then I will pursue my nursing career somewhere else. I still live at home and work at the Gander Mountain here in La Crosse. I need to make more money before I go on my own. I tend to be shy when I am around new people but usually I’ll get over it. Some of my interests: anything to do outside, watching movies, sitting around campfires, football and taking naps. Also I am somewhat lazy. Winter is mostly my favorite season because of the fact I can sit on my butt all day and not feel bad that I am wasting a good day. I also love the summer though; I do love the hot weather. My favorite pop is wild cherry Pepsi. My favorite treat is fudge sickles. I am a huge Brewer fan; Ryan Braun is my favorite player. Also am a packer fan. Most people say I am a “country girl” but I’m defiantly not a hick. I listen to country music all the time. I also love when people can make me laugh. :)
