I just found out that I have to write a resume for the University Fellows Experience. I think there's something about putting it all down on paper that makes you feel utterly inadequate. LIke, seriously, I look awful on paper.

I mean, I know that there's more to it, and that what I've got is probably really good, but looking at it all?

Yuck.

I feel rather insignificant. And that isn't a fun feeling.

Are you getting the stress vibes from me? Because I sure as hell am. (On a totally unrelated note, has anyone seen Fantastic Mr. Fox? The whole "what the cuss!" thing? I haven't decided if I liked that or not. I mean, I liked the movie, overall, but... I dunno. )

I should go figure out my english audience. I am really not liking this whole paper. It isn't working for me. Oh well.

Adios

I truly have writing college essays. I'm so done. Not to mention we still have to write other essays.

Ugh. Make it end. I just which we could graduate now!

I know that its probably just desperation on the part of the university, but it is also a lovely confidence boost.  Then again it IS the university of alabama.  I'm wary just on principle.  Mum's first reaction was "I think they still burn people like you out there."

A joke it may have been, yet sadly probably not too far off the mark.

Still, they did offer me a full ride scholarship...
Guaranteed housing...
A $1,000 yearly stipend...
$2,000 towards summer or international study...
...and the random laptop...

How bad can Alabama be?

Please tell me I am not the only one having trouble with college essays.  They really truly suck.

I am so addicted.  I started watching season one today, and it rocks!

!

Hm. I haven't posted in a while.  Then again, I haven't done much of anything in a while. 

Is it sad that the biggest worry on my mind is still my thrice-damned social studies paper?

Bugger. Oh well.

G'night.

"Obama's critics are senators and columnists; they can grandstand. He has to govern. They want to make a point; he wants to make a difference."

While I must agree with this statement, at the same time I cannot help but cringe at the near fanaticism our 44th president has inspired. 

I found this amusing, and far to relevant for my own comfort...

Y'know, I may be a sucker for romantics, but I really can't stand romantic comedies. 

Like, really REALLY can't stand them.  The only one I actually liked, Blind Dating, wasn't actually so much a romantic comedy as a romantic drama-ish thing. 

Actually, it wasn't much of a comedy at all.

In other news, I think that Kailey and I might have been switched at birth.  Seriously, her and Chelsea are like genetic clones or something!!! The same little OCD tendencies, the same types of geekyness (with the exception of sci-fi, Chelsea isn't a fan...) honestly, it was hard to get a word in edgewise this weekend!

Not that I minded.  I rather guess that Chelsea must have felt the same whenever Sam and I ended up in the same room together...

Oh well.  I find it rather amusing, to tell the truth...

The other thing I found amusing was the AZ Rep. article about the miracle preemie born at 28wks, 2lbs 2oz. According to the article it is a miracle for the baby to have survived now at all.  Mum pointed the article out to me, she was really amused.  Seems I was 26wks and 1lb, 2oz when I was born seventeen and a half years ago... And then I remember seeing the 2nd trimester fetus at the Body Works Expo and realize that that was me.

Holy #^&%!

Makes me wonder how I'm here today, alive and (relatively) coherent.

Hmm.

Well, my bloody antibiotics and whatnot are knocking me out again.  I guess it's off to bed with me.

Dania out.

I hate being sick.

So, I stumbled on this FBI case about armored car robberies where the FBI spent two years and who knows how many millions setting up a sting to catch this gang.  However, the whole thing almost went to pieces because the armored car was a half hour late showing up and the robbers got nervous.  When the car finally showed up, its reason for being late?

It was pulled over by the MA state police for speeding.  The officer didn't believe them when they told him they were 'on their way to be robbed and the FBI was waiting for them'.

*blink*

Yeah...
