School Days are Here Again. January 25, 2007

I have had many complaints from people that I need to Blog again. I  know that it has been almost a month since my last post, but here’s the deal, I am back in school again and taking 18 credit hours, so suddenly most of my time as been sucked up by that. I wish, though, that I could spend every night intensely blogging for all of you to read, but there is just no way…. unless you guys help me. Here is a list I compiled of a few things you all can do to help me so that I have more time to blog.

 1. I have many papers that I need to write over the course of the semester, two of them are research papers, so anytime you are bored you can right a paper for me. The research papers need to be 14-15 pages in length and the other papers can be 600-800 words. If intersted comment below and I will send you a topic.

 2. I am taking 6 classes, each with 1-3 textbooks, so I have a lot of reading to do, so if any of you are intersted in doing my reading for me and then writing a summary that I can read so I can get the main points without taking the time to read, comment below and I will tell you the book titles. Keep in mind I am tested on most of my reading so it is important that you give a detailed summary and don’t miss any big points.

3. Sometimes I get assignments that really I see as busy work, but unfortunately I am graded on them, so if some of you could be on call so that when I get these assignment I can e-mail them to you so you can take care of them for me that would be great.  

4. I am working part time so I can pay for books and tuition and stuff like that, so if some of you wanted to fund my life then I will definitely have the time I need to blog more often.

 So there ya go, 4 simple things that you can do to help. Once those are taken care of really I can do nothing, but blog. It will be awesome. Again if you are interested in helping please comment below so that I can give you more details.

 Okay, so that really probably will never work, but how great would it be if I could just delegate all my school assignments. Too bad. Thats why I’m going to school so I can get a job where people will do the work for me. Yeah that will be a good time. : )

Chipotle and Cold Stone, mmm mmm good! January 6, 2007

Tonight as we made our way via the N train to Chipotle,  we saw something very, very interesting.  It was a large rodent of some sort that was running toward us making an awful noise that sounded like: lfkajlkjflajfo, jdflajflafouf. You’d be scared if you heard that noise, wouldn’t you? We weren’t sure what to do at first so we just started running away from it.  We ran, and ran and ran, but the rodent creature thing kept coming.  It was scary. But on with the rest of the story…we finally made it to Chiptolte where we  ate some good food. We had burritos and when we were finished we talked to a very large guy who said he couldn’t even finish a whole Chipotle burrito, but we both finished ours and had chips.  He was scary too. While talking to this big guy we purchased some yummy ice creams and ate them.  Yep, thats right we ate more food. It was all very good! But then….we saw that darned rodent again.  So…. we ran. After making it back down into the Subway we safely boarded the R train back to Brooklyn.  And walked to the church we were staying in. We didn’t have to run because we left the big scary rodent back in Manhattan. Whew!

After our long journey to find food and eat it, we were quite exhausted. So we sat down for a couple hours and thought about what to do…this is what we came up with.  This story. Some is true, some is well…. a little exaggerated. But we can’t write anymore because the stupid rodent is scratching at the window now. So, we have to run again.

THE END

Have You Ever Wondered What a Cow Feels Like….? January 1, 2007

Have you ever wondered what a cow feels like? Well, I have never really wondered that my self, but I now know! You see, last night I spent the last minutes of 2006 in a holding pen. The ranchers (police officers) told their cattle (the people)exactaly where they needed to stand and when they needed to move. Where there restrooms for us to use when we needed it the most or maybe if we were hungry could you leave to get some food? NOPE! Just like cattle we just had to sit there closed in, in a pen with thousands of other people. From this experience I have to say I am glad I am not a cow, for one thing it would be wierd to have all those stomachs, but most importantly I do not like to be “herded” and told when and where I can move. : )

If you haven’t guessed by now, I went to Times Square in NYC to bring in the New Year. A friend from school, her husband, mom and sisters and I all left Conneticut around 1:00pm and arrived to Times Square around 4:00…. and then we stood very close to other people and waited. And then we waited some more, and then we waited some more. I learned something very valuable last night. America is controlled by T.V. You see, when you are watching the ball drop on T. V., it looks like the biggest party in the world going on, but really it is the smallest party in the world because only the first 100 people right in front of the stage get streamers and balloons and get to scream in the camera, when everyone else gets to pretend to be cattle all day.

Despite the cattle experience, I had a blast! The people I was with were amazing, and we found plenty of ways to entertain ourselves while we waited for 8 hours for the countdown to midnight. Just being in Times Square, I mean come on, how cool is that? Periodically throught the night we would see toilet paper hanging from one of the hotel windows that over looked Times Square and they would shoot off a fire work or two every hour to keep us entertained. We also got to participate in a count down every hour for every New Years in every time zone. I think they just did this so we could practice the real count down so that we sounded good when they showed it on T.V. All and all, Times Square on New Years Eve is the experience of a life time! Would I do it again? Not a chance, unless I had lots of money to blow on a hotel room that overlooked Times Square, then that would really be a party!
