Exam Shopping

April 28, 2006 by charlsiekate

I have been sitting in the sunshine reading a legal profession outline today.  I normally go to the library – because I need the human interaction – but today I decided I needed the sunshine more than the human interaction. 

Here at my apartment I don’t have a vending machine – and because I haven’t been around much lately I don’t have a lot of supplies.  So I ventured out to the gas station by my house – the Okee Dokee BP. 

Initially I was really pumped because I wasn’t going to wear any shoes – I love it when it gets to be warm and I don’t have to wear shoes any more and everyone gets so weird about the fact that it doesn’t bother me to go into stores with no shoes on.  Give me a break – we live in Georgia.  Worst things have happened.  I promise I’ll wash my feet before I get into bed tonight.  But then I remembered that some gas stations have that whole, no shirt no shoes no service thing.  So I decided to wear my flipflops. 

I bought some over priced gas and some over priced soft drinks, some bubble gum, and sugar babies.  I resisted the urge to buy beer on the gas card.  Trav doesn’t appreciate that sort of thing. 

While I was in the store – this girl comes in – and all I can say about her outfit is that I hope she just walked out of the pool.  She had a see through white wrap around long skirt thing.  Like – totally inappropriate anywhere but at the pool. 

But then she asked the gas station lady directions somewhere.  And I got really confused.  Like – if she doesn’t live here – then why THE HELL is she dressed like that?  I mean, not road trip appropriate.  And apparently the gas station lady agreed.  Cause she gave the girl directions, and looked her up and down and said – You Visiting Friends? 

It cracked me up. 

In other news, I totally burned my stomach while  sitting outside reading legal profession in my bathing suit today.  STUPID CHARLSIE.  I know better.  Way better.

Yay Twilight!  Boo Exams!

Time will do the talking

April 26, 2006 by charlsiekate

Yesterday was my last day of school, ever.  I don’t really know what to think about that.  I have been taking classes on north campus for the past seven years.  I don’t know anything else.  Otis says it won’t sink in until august.  I think he is right. 

I feel like it is the weekend.  It isn’t. 

I’m in the annex.  I like the annex.  I don’t actually like to study – but I love the annex.  Books make me feel comfortable.  And I like the annex during finals.  With no classes, it is very calm. 

Law students are weird – but they are my kind of weird. 

Last night was tons of fun.  Betsy and I decided that we won.  And we don’t care if you disagree.  Faris gave me a ride home, cause she loves me. 

I was looking at some pictures on the facebook of colorado and grand lake.  It made me really colorado sick.  Really colorado sick.  I haven’t been to colorado since august.  It is partially the people, and partially the mountains, and partially the sunshine, and partially my own idealistic craziness.  Mostly the mountains and the sunshine.  I need a lot of sunshine and the mountains make me feel safe.  Except ledges.  I’m secretly terribly frightened of ledges.  Which is a bit of a stumbling block when it comes to my skiing ability.  As long as I just go ahead and ski off the ledge and don’t think about it – I’m okay.  But as soon as I look over the ledge, it is over.  I guess that is sort of like life.  Ledges make me feel weird.  Like, if I’m really scared of them – what possesses me to get close to them, much less ski off them?

Christy and I went to bojangles this morning.  It was excellent.  EXCELLENT. 

I need to figure out what I am going to do with my life.  Something in me is really happy I’m not committed to anything yet.  And part of me is a little panicked. 

I won’t think about that today, I’ll think about that tomorrow.

Happy Confederate Memorial Day!

April 24, 2006 by charlsiekate

Today is Confederate Memorial Day.  Obviously, not a national holiday.  It is a Georgia State holiday.  The Georgia Capital is closed today.  Here is a history of the holiday – and I like this poem a lot. 

Welcome to the 21st century everyone. 

Did I ever tell y’all about the figurine liquor bottles that my dad owns?  One of them is Robert E. Lee on his horse, and if you take the General’s hat off – there is a cork attached to the hat and you can pour bourbon out of Lee’s head.  (I can’t find an example of the Robert E. Lee version – but here is a similar liquor bottle figurine – and here is a figurine of Lee, I’m not sure if this one is full of bourbon or not).   

My mom tries to keep the liquor bottle figurines hidden if possible.  I’m sure she is just trying to keep them safe.

War Wounds

April 23, 2006 by charlsiekate

Some girl with monster heels cleated me last night.  Or – I guess she heeled me.  Whatev.  She stomped with her heel at an ankle exactly on my right Achilles tendon on the . 

It hurts.

It looked like I had in a run in my stocking.  But I didn’t have on any stockings.  So it looked like I had a run in my leg.  A run in my epidermis.  Gross. 

Now is is mostly purple.  Except right where she stomped – which is strangely pale. 

I can’t tell you any more about it or I might start crying.  This is the strangest injury – the more time passes – the more it hurts. 

I’m such a child.

I’m learning

April 21, 2006 by charlsiekate

I’m trying to figure out how to put video clips on this sucker.  Pressing matters during exams, obviously.   I’m serious – I have a huge thing for the muppets.  They just aren’t the same with out ol’ Jim though.  For some reason it works on my computer but not on anyone elses.  Oh well – I’ll work on it later – I lack the patience right now.

Dream Job

April 19, 2006 by charlsiekate

I wish I was famous so I could sign my name all over everything all the time. 

I think I would be super good at that.  I like to write my name.

Depressing weather to go along with my depressing activities

April 19, 2006 by charlsiekate

It is foggy and drizzly here today.  Awesome.  Actually – it is kind of awesome because I might actually get some work done today. 

I even wore my glasses today to help with the working.  Because, with my glasses on, I have no peripheral vision.  Which greatly impairs my ability to see people and know who they are out of the corner of my eye.  My eyes have no corners.  So unless you are standing directly in my line of sight, I can’t tell who you are. 

Keep this in mind today if I walk right past you and don’t speak.  Unless of course you think there is any chance I might be mad at you, in which case you should take my lack of salutation as me punishing you for whatever you might have done.  Riigggghhtt. 

Mama Kate sent my some awesome sugar cookies for Easter.  Molly brought them to me last night and we ate sugar cookies and laughed about boys.  I also had an AMAZING dinner last night from earth fare.  Seriously – top notch. 

And Cristina and I ran again yesterday, and I won’t be running today, which is good because it is raining.  Oh, and I’m leading bible study tonight, yet another thing I need to work on, along with my paper.  Boo scientific evidence.  Boo. 

Come find me in the annex if you miss me.  Bring me prizes for being so studious.

We are so fun, we can’t turn it off

April 18, 2006 by charlsiekate

So – last week I invited you all to Rupp’s birthday party.  And for some reason, some of you missed the party.  And dang you missed a great party. 

Mack posted pictures here – and you can see all the awesomeness you missed. 

We are such adults.

Springtime

April 17, 2006 by charlsiekate

I like riding around with the windows down.  It is a great way to dry my hair on my way places.  Of course, it is sort of hard to see with my hair all in my face and stuff.  But what ev.  I still like to do it.  Way more fun than a hair dryer.  And I always feel rude showing up places with wet hair.  And driving around with the windows down helps solve this etiquette problem.  I’m so clever. 

I bought the rascal flatts cd and the fray cd this morning.  My ipod is on it’s last leg.  Which is very sad.  Tear.  Sniff. 

I have been running like someone is chasing me the past week.  I know it is just the pressure of all the work I have to do before school ends – and I really like it when I get in these running kicks – because I never enjoy running as much as I do when I’m on a kick.  I like to run hills in the heat.  Maybe I need help.  For my issues with enjoying things that are miserable.  All this running has left me tired.  Snore. 

So, if you haven’t chatted with me in a while and are curious as to what I’ve been up to – I’ve been running hills at breakneck speed in the heat, taking showers, riding around with the windows of my car down while my hair dries, all the time listening to rascal flatts and the fray.  Oh, and pouting about my 30 page paper in the annex. 

I ate bojangles for breakfast (YIPPIE!!!  BOJANGLES!!  I LOVE IT I’M SO EXCITED THERE IS A BOJANGLES IN ATHENS!!! BISCUITS ALL DAY!!! YAY!), transmet for lunch, and outback for dinner for Justin’s birthday.  Outback was a strange experience. 

I have six pages written for my paper.  24 to go.  Hmmm, I need to watch 24 from tonight.  But not tonight.  I think I’m too tired.  24 wears me out.

Yawn

April 15, 2006 by charlsiekate

I’m tired.  I had a big day.  I had a lot of amazing opportunities today.  Overall, today made me feel very rich and blessed. 

And now nothing makes me happier than being in my b ed.  And knowing that Betsy is going to call me soon and we are going to discuss all the many mysteries of the universe ties it all together. 

The weather makes me happy.  Happy Easter, I love you and so does Jesus.
