Life Uncut


This week has been a real pain. Last weekend I had a blast visiting with my cousins and spending time with my family. That meant that I did not spend any time doing the piles of homework that I should have done. Instead I worked on assignments the day before they were due, which I know is what most college students do, and what I do a lot of times too. However, it would have been nice to get a little bit of a head start on some things because I had to write a paper worth 25% of my History grade and take a final that was worth 25% of my Chem lab grade. With those things out of the way I guess I can start worrying, and studying, for my finals. What really sucks is that I have my two hard finals back to back on Monday the 7th of May and then I don't have another until Friday. The worst part of it all is that I only need a 75% on the Friday final and I don't plan on studying that hard because it is an easy class anyways. I guess that means I have three days to party! My blog is pretty boring huh? Well, I guess I lead a pretty boring life. Sorry about that.

Dull Boredom is my Life

Nothing exciting ever happens here. My life is a waste of the time that God has given me. I need to do something, live life to its fullest, but I don't think I will.
This past Saturday, Christie and I decided to volunteer with our church. We ended up going to the YMCA for their "Healthy Kids Day." We were supposed to direct confused kids and their parents if they needed direction. It didn't help that we barely knew where things were ourselves. It was pretty much a waste, but we got to know a few people from our church better. I guess that's a good thing. I kind of felt useless however. Oh well, nothing new. Life's just one useless day after another.

Odd Sighting



Today as I exited Boucke, where I had just finished my math class, and was on my way to Ag Business Management, I saw two mallard ducks. Now this sighting wouldn't have been so unusual in itself (I have seen ducks before) except that they were in the middle of campus, just off of the section of Shortlidge Road that has been made into a sidewalk. This is no where near a pond or any body of water (for anyone how doesn't know the lay out of the campus). I think they might have been out and about because of the dreary weather this morning, it being so rainy and all. There was both a male and female and the female was getting a drink of water until they noticed me approaching. I figure they must be fairly tame because they didn't move until I was only a few feet away. I just wanted to pick one up (I don't know, I have strange urges sometimes), but I restrained my urge because I was on my way to class. And what would I have done with a duck?

April Fool's Pranks

Man was that one fun April Fool's day. I think I pulled off some pretty funny stuff. So I started out the day trying to get my room mate Christie by sticking a post-it note to the bottom of her mouse, but she didn't really fall for it because her sister had suggested that she play the same joke on me the night before. She didn't try that, but she immediately knew what I had done so it didn't surprise her. Then, while she was in the bathroom I set her keyboard to dvorak instead of qwerty. However, you have to close all applications and restart them before it will take effect and since she already had her IM started and that was basically the only thing she used all day, it didn't work. I didn't want to disturb it because she would have realized I messed with her computer. Then I told her about it because I wanted to do it to someone else and I needed a little help to get into their room. I was going to do this to Elizabeth, but we decided she might get too upset, so we settled for Jamie instead. Again she already had her IM open, so we didn't shut that down, but when she finally got on the internet she flipped out. She called Elizabeth over to help her figure it out. Kristina told me that the plan had finally gone into effect. We waited a few minutes until we went into Jamie's room laughing. She was wondering what we were laughing about and then she finally understood that we were behind it, although she had already started to shut her computer down so we had to wait for it to reboot to change it back. It was hilarious to see how much she was flipping out. And she didn't even suspect it was a prank. That was wonderfully pulled off if I don't say so myself. Then I wrote an email to my sister complaining about college and telling her that I was quitting and coming home immediately. At the end of the email, at the very bottom I told her it was a joke. She wrote me back that she was totally flipping out. I wish I could have seen her face when she was reading it, but it was pretty funny just reading her email. The last joke of the day was again on my room mate. I downloaded a bluescreen screensaver that makes it look as if your computer has something wrong with it. Then I left the room before she came back in. When I came back in she's like "Becca, what is wrong with my computer?" I couldn't keep a straight face and started laughing, she was sort of hoping that I had been behind it, but wasn't sure. So I didn't get her very good, but I had fun anyway. What a great day!
