So, I was advised to find an internship that interests me and use this as a guide to write a cover letter……well, let me tell you something…looking at internships has a way of making you feel horribly underqualified….and I mean HORRIBLY. Just when you think you’re done jumping through hoops, more seem to appear…it’s really frustrating.  Frustrating enough that I went out for a walk in the frigid cold just to get away from it.  Gotta love winter….I love walks…freezing my ass off? not so much. But nonetheless walks help to put things in perspective for me…or at least help me laugh at myself.

New semester is going well so far.  I’m busy, but overall I think this semesters going to be good one. (I’m in an oddly optimistic mood for just having realized how terribly unprepared I am for the real world….) For now, I’m focusing on the here and now, what makes me happy and the amazing people in my life.

Alright, well I have nothing else to do so….I guess I’ll update my blog…not really sure how often this will happen in the future….not really sure how many people look or care about this thing anyways…….but I’m bored so…… I hope everyone had a good holiday season…as for New Years, I hope everyone else is going to be having a better time than me, since I’ll be working instead…hopefully that’s only a minor speed bump in what hopefully is going to be an awesome 2010! (I’m so done with 2009, pretty much my crappiest year EVER).

Here’s some insight into my taste in music:

If your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be?

1. Open your music library
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing

So, I don’t know if we have to write this week, but I figured it couldn’t hurt.

I miss break already.  Last week, I was in Mexico.  Actually, to be specific last week at this time I was wandering around the grounds of Chichen Itza (It’s a mayan pyramid). It was warm out and I didn’t have to think about school at all. I held a monkey, attempted to salsa (attempted being the key word), saw a michael jackson impersonation show, and traveled on a party boat to Isla Mujeres.   I went with my family and although they drive me crazy sometimes, it wouldn’t have been the same without them.  What a week! Let’s just go back to that week or skip to the end of the semester (post finals).  I’m prefer the first suggestion, but I’ll settle for the second!

So, I’ve been nervous all day for my accounting exam.  I can’t even really eat…and I’m trying to distract myself and tell myself it that it is not that big of a deal….which is why I’m kind of jumping around as far as topics go…I just really want to get it over with and conclude this week. I know that I haven’t had it as bad as some people this week though…did I mention how appreciative I am that this class just has a midterm and a final?  That was definitely an awesome and brilliant idea!!!!   I know that this break is totally going to be worth it though…it’s just getting there that absolutely and totally sucks!!!!

So, I’m truly sorry about the speech I gave this week….I just HATE public speaking.  I hope that maybe you were able to follow my ramblings at least a little….

I don’t really have much to talk about this week.  Not to say that there is not anything going on…

I am beginning to realize who in my life is real and who in my life is just playing the role they choose.  I’m still trying to figure out how to distinguish between the two…It is really rather frustrating.  But the best indication I have found to separate the two is time. Meaning that only time will tell. Which is extremely frustrating as well, since I’m anything but patient….

Well, Halloween was a blast. The pirate costume was a hit (not taking into account how unbelievably freezing I was and how much my feet hurt).  Someone screamed that they loved me while I was crossing University and a couple of people asked if I would pose in a picture with them.  What I really didn’t apprecate were the creepers.  I’m pretty sure Scanner Dan was taking a video/picture of me….but hey, I guess that’s Halloween in Madison for ya.

Now it’s back to work…more midterms in the near future.  I LOVE Christmas so I’m looking forward to that and I would say that I’m looking forward to break because I will actually get a break…but when I’m on break it means I pretty much work everyday…so, I guess you could say I’m definitely looking forward to the money I’ll be making during break!

Alright, I’ve tried to write this blog like 4 different times now.  I know it would be easier to change my topic, but that would mean changing the title…and well…I like my title….so I’m stuck.

I started thinking about how many new people I have met lately and how we’re all getting to know each other.  A couple things about me: I consider myself to be an optimist and I like to see the best in people.  And therefore I expect the best from people. And most of the time, they fail to follow through.  This really tears down my ability to see the silver lining/bright side….is it so hard to ask that someone will follow through once in awhile?  It’s hard to stay positive when nothing seems to be working out….

But, on the bright side, Halloween is this weekend! I’m going to be a pirate and hopefully I don’t freeze too much.

So, for some reason, life has been a lot more complicated lately.  I have no idea why, but I really want it to stop being so cryptic.   I mean, I get done with midterms and I get to deal with drama? Not cool.  The only thing that seems to be going well is the weather.  I mean it was AMAZING today.  I was laughing at all of you who were wearing winter jackets….REALLY? I know it’s late October but it was absolutely beautiful out. I got to sit on the terrace and attempt to do homework…the homework didn’t work out so well, but whatever…it was totally worth it!

With three more midterms ahead of me, I cannot wait for one day were I don’t have anything that I have to get done for class or any quiz/exam to study for…

Sadly that day(s) will probably have to wait till Thanksgiving….

But before Thanksgivng, we have Halloween right around the corner.  I’m excited (basically it is a good (or maybe it’s bad?)  distraction from my current situation with midterms). Don’t know what I’m going to be yet, all I know is that I don’t want to spend tons of money on a costume. I’m a college student. And college basically destroys any hope of having money left over to do what you want…

So, like everyone else here I’m taking midterms. Unfortunately.  And as usual, trying to figure out school and more.  So, because I haven’t exactly figured out the “and more” I don’t really have anything to talk about here. So, back to my blog being boring.

I’m excited the weekend is here and excited it is Thursday night (Grey’s Anatomy and Bones anyone?) I am just hoping that the weather is not completely freezing this weekend…it is most definitely to early to dig my gloves, scarf, hat, and winter coat out of my closet, that despite my living in Wisconsin my entire life my wardrobe pretty much only consists of summer clothes…..
