I am the Tinman

Hello to all of my fans out there! I've had several (two) requests to update my blog, so here we go!



School is back upon us and for the first time since entering college, i was not looking forward to it at all. Winter break was pretty boring for me. just working 8 hours a day in my cubicle and going to bed at 10 everynight. I'm someone that if allowed to, i can be a huge homebody. I spent every single night alone, watching tv online and i loved every minute of it. Now, i am adjusting to having to be social again. but its good for me. otherwise i will turn into the old lady that lives alone with 25 cats. (ah, what a life that would be!)

Goal for the semester: try and be a little less mean/cold-hearted/souless. People keep claiming that I am cold-hearted and often mean. And they're probably correct. although, i'm not like that with everyone. I just have a low tolerance for certain people and certain situations. Sometimes I can be very caring! But never the less, i do agree, that I could be more caring. So, i'm going to try and be nicer this semester. Maybe chip away at this heart of stone of mine. I don't want to be an Ice Queen! I feel like the Tinman from the Wizard of Oz... "if i only had a heart!" But bear with me, because it will take baby steps. (HAS ANYONE SEEN THE MOVIE "WHAT ABOUT BOB"?!)

really, i think what i need to get me back in the swing of things is a good ole' fashioned dance party. i just need to dance the night away. feel the music bumpin'. that's all i need :)

i love you all.

peace, love and reality tv,

FMOMD: my women's studies teacher wore a skirt to class that barely covered her butt. and she wore a black choker from 1992. the 90's are alive and well and I'm fully prepared to embrace it.

Fat guy in a little coat

Well ladies and gentleman, it is the end of the semester and school is upon us.
I'm still a little confused by dead week. I'm going to say that we do not have one. I had 3 german tests this week.
a.) you shouldn't have tests during dead week.
b.) you shouldn't have 3 tests in one class, in one week... EVER.

I've written one page of my 10 page research paper for women and violence. I gave myself a mental goal of: have paper done by monday. So looks like i'll be doing most of it this weekend. Feel free to come join me in the library!

Speaking of library, Hale is out of control these days. Impossible to find computers or tables. I've been taking my hot self over to the public library and studying with all the manhattan locals. Lots more open tables. And way more entertaining people watching.

Is it bad that I haven't even started thinking about my finals yet? I've just had too much extra crap due this week that i haven't been able to think about finals. Maybe i'll do that sometime soon...

okay well i know you all have your own schoolwork stresses so i'm sorry you had to read about mine. Just try and power through and then we get sweet freedom for a few weeks. (if you can call sitting in a cubicle at KDOT freedom...)

i love you all.

peace, love and KDOT,

KD.

Favorite moment of my day (FMOMD): walking on a campus and guy comes towards me singing, "fat guy in a little coat... fat guy in a little coat". i wasn't sure how to react but it made me really want to watch tommy boy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YWwQZp7r_8

Creamed corn

So do to peer-pressure (kristen) and my own curiosity, I have begun a blog!! Now, I must admit that I have blogged before. Back around my junior year I shared a blog with a friend of mine and I am now thoroughly embarassed by the things I wrote in it (i wrote an entire blog about how great my cat was...) And if you want to get really embarassing, then feast your eyes on my XANGA. yep, that's right. Xanga. From like freshman year. They were all the rage, and me being the trendy girl that I am, hopped right on!

My roomates have been force feeding me lately. And its definitely not because I dont eat enough. As I type, there is a cupcake laying in my bed.... I dont want to talk about it. And I was eating a cookie on my way to the shower earlier. And Lauren made this delicious corn concoction and if you know me at all, then you know I love corn and gobbled up a large bowl of it earlier. And dont be fooled into thinking it was healthy because it had corn in it. It also has butter and cream cheese. I guess you would call it creamed corn.
Whatever. Its the holidays.... eat on!!

Okay well I know the number one rule for blogging is: never blog if you dont have something to say. So i'm going to end this here. I just wanted to start it up and get it to the masses. And by masses, I mean like the 3 people I know that have blogs. I really dont want my thoughts being read by very many people!

Peace, love and corn,

KD
