*sigh* I have a headache. And a heartache. Stupid Valentines Day.

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh. I HATE NOT BEING 21. HOW MANY HOOPS DO I HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH JUST TO GET SOME BEER AROUND HERE?!? If it weren't for cool people...I'd be one pissed off kid.

I just got back from the movie premire of "At First Sight." I know what you're thinking.....a movie premire in Waverly, Iowa??!?! Well this movie was written, filmed, produced, acted, and directed by Wartburg students and on Wartburg campus. So the local theater agreed to hold its first showing and the cast and director showed up in a limo...complete with the red carpets and glamour. Well.....at least as much glamour as you can get in small town Iowa.
The movie was suprisingly good. Although, the plot was a little cliche and predictable in spots....but coming from a crappy play writer, I know how tough it is to make everything fit together without being lame or trite. So with that in mind, plus it was a student film (though it was the director's second film in his college career) and it was relatively long---about 45 minutes.
So that was fun. I enjoyed getting off campus on a thursday night....and not do ANY of my homework. Oops wait, I was really writing in my head.......ha. No I was truly procrastinating tonight. I had written an essay for today that I read in my creative writing class for open critiquing. It was pretty good. I got the laughs I was looking for in the places where I wanted them. But I guess they wanted more.....which is a good thing, because I usually overwrite. The topic, by the way, was loosly about my height....but more about first impressions and the stereotypes we base off of those first impressions. Yea....I know I'm "the man." I'll have to fix some crap on it this weekend......which brings me to a question that I'm asking to everyone who is online right now.......which is only Ryan Johnson (yea, the one from Rockford.....BOOYEA!) I'm the manager on call this weekend at the library, which means I go into work if somebody "forgets" to go into work. So should I be a little pansy and sit around AGAIN on a friday night....or should I go to a party, get waaaay too trashed, and risk having to go into work at 9am on Saturday with a massive hangover? The question is out the for you my friends. Voice your opinions. Make your stance known. Do it. Now. Hey. Put down that piece of Valentines candy and tell me. You bastard. Don't make me get on my scooter and scoot all the way to Minnesota. You know I will........no.....actually I won't. But still. Yea. Thats right. booyea. booooooooooyea, grandma.

I get a bad rap around here for having an easy major, thus doing nothing. Yea, my major may involve less time-consuming work than a bio major and it may seem like I never have any homework. Another problem is that I'm a big time procrastinater.....but I've come to realize that it's not so much that I procrastinate, it's that my writing (other stuff too) is rather crappy if I sit down and do it weeks before it's due. Why? Because I haven't planned anything out yet. You see, although it may not seem like it.....I'm ALWAYS working on my writing. I plan everything out in my head. I literally write it out internally before I even consider writing it down. That way I can do it the night before it's due.....and get it done in 20 minutes. Everything I want to say. In 20 minutes. Basically the amount of time for me to type. If I could type faster then it would be less. So yea, I may be playing games a lot and I may lie around and not be visably working on anything....but it's all up here **pointing to my gorgeous head** and whats up there is more important than whats down there. **not what you think you sicko.....I'm pointing to a piece of paper....jeezz**

Checka check it out yo! Scroll down scroll down scroll down scroll down! Over 4,000! Talk to Ghetto Bowler....the pizzas are on him.

DU......DU HAST.....DU HAST MICH.....So I was just walking back from work at the library (taking a shortcut through the walkways and parking lots) when I saw a little bunny rabbit standing in the parking lot about 10 feet ahead of me. It had heard me, but was standing stock still....apparently hoping I would pass or not see it. But I stopped in my tracks and stood as still as I could. I don't know what I was thinking would happen, but something amazing did. The rabbit started slowly creeping towards me and eventually stopped about 2ft away (within kicking distance). I don't know if they require movement or sound to notice things, but I stood there next to that rabbit for a good 5 minutes just staring at it before it crept away. As soon as I started walking it streaked away....so I guess it wasn't that timid or anything, 'cause it still was scared when I finally DID move and make some noise. But for that 5 minutes when we were standing that close to each other......it was the coolest thing ever. Wowzas.

Today I got up at 8 and studied Brit. Lit until 2:00 and then took my test at 2:30. Ironically enough the "hard" part of the test was easier than the "easy" part of the test...probably because I studied the hard stuff the most.....and there were questions on the easy part specifically written so that nobody gets 100%. I promise you....we didn't ever talk about the stuff covered in about 4 of the questions. 2 of those I got just because of my past classes and general knowledge. The other 2....I had no idea. After we were done with the test, we were able to get our papers back (you know, the one I talked about a couple of weeks ago Moll Flanders: A Victim of Society. When I grabbed it, I saw all of these red marks all over it and stuff written like "what is this?" and "I don't get what you mean here" and "this is wrong." and I thought......aaaaaah crap. I screwed this paper up. Just an FYI, it was a kind of Literary Criticism type of paper....meaning if you correctly understood the novel, then your argument should be correct.....so if you incorrectly understood the novel, then your paper was probably wrong. So I was starting to feel a little crappy, but I continued to flip through the paper and on the second page, there were no red marks....nor on the third. At the bottom of the last page, it said: "Nice paper Corey, except for the first example you used the text well and had good logic." So I actually did well on the paper. Not an "A", though.......My usual 89%. Meh. It seems like I'm never quite up to the Prof's standards...oh well.
Yay! That test is done! It has been haunting me for a while. Now I just need to do all of my stuff that I have neglected since Friday......baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

wowzas...one of my suitemates and I just put together my desk chair. My new, leather, executive desk chair. Wowzas....It is waaaay comfortable. Tons better than my school-issued chair. Tons.
Today I got up at 1:30....ironically, all of my suitemates got up at 1:30. It was a little odd. So we all went to the showers at the same time....and while we were there showering, we decided to go and eat lunch at the coffee shop together. (we had long since missed food in the caf). After lunch, they all went back to the dorm but I had to stay at the library. I wrote notecards from 2:45 until 7pm. And that was just the notecards. Unfortunately, my studying habits didn't stay as focused....once I got back here, I just hung out. And then, just when I was about to continue studying, we decided to put together this chair. Worth it? Yes. But now I'm going to go to bed at midnight and get up at 8....skip my noon class....and study until my test at 2:30. Yea, thats like 6 hours of studying, but this class always kicks my butt (British Lit) and you gotta figure I'll get distracted multiple times, so whateva.
Alright kiddies, I'm gonna play a game and then it's bed time!
