You see, lately I've been having this problem sleeping.
I yawn, so I close my laptop, crawl under the covers, and close my eyes.
Then 20 minutes later I open my eyes again, my attempt at unconsciousness a failure.
So I tell myself, okay, I'll watch Boy Meets World until I'm tired.
In this fashion I have finished season 4 and am most of the way through season 5.
For the last week I have failed to get more than 6 hours of sleep a night. and 6 hours is a very good night. And yet, during the day I feel the same as if I had gotten a full 8 or 9 hours. until about 9 PM when I feel like crashing, but can't because I have homework, friends I'm hanging out with, or roommates who are being loud. Awesome. If you have any solutions for this, please let me know.
In other news I get to go home this weekend! I have tickets for Josh and I to go see Bo Burnham! This is very exciting. It's also Halloween, and to be honest I'm looking forward to just sitting at home, carving a pumpkin, and passing out candy to kids in costumes with my mother.
So Josh has these requirements for marrying me. (Addie, this is for you, seeing as how you want us to get married so badly.)
1. One of our children must have the middle name Danger.
2. There must be a hookah in the house.
My responses to these were
1. Only for a boy.
2. As long as the kids don't use it until they are mature enough.
Do all boys have requirements like these, or is mine just weird?
reading: sadly, the same as before.

Sigh.
That's right, I've given into yet another internet craze.
I'm going to keep a blog.
This is mostly for the purposes of those who I don't often have the opportunity to talk to. Namely, my sister.
Okay, first, an introduction maybe?
I'm a freshman in college at Grand Valley State University. I like it :)
I'm an English major with a minor in Mathematics. I know they don't go together even remotely, but in my mind it makes sense. I want to be a high school teacher.
I was that nerdy kid in class who read Pride and Prejudice not because it was assigned, but because I have a genuine love for books. I could spend hours discussing the complexities of The Great Gatsby. So I figured being an English teacher fits pretty well. I also have always liked math because it just always made sense to me. You learn the method and the method works for everything. Even if it takes a little bit of effort to get there, you can always use the same method. I like stability in my life.
I am a Nerdfighter. if you don't know what that is, click here. I have a mild (okay, it's a bit more than mild) obsessesion with Harry Potter, have a love/hate relationship with Twilight (mostly hate), spend an unusual amount of time on YouTube, and play video games (albeit very badly). I have more music than most people can handle and I like ALL of it. I always have it playing. (Currently, Flake by Jack Johnson is playing).
I am in the process of watching every good movie ever created. Next on the list is Fight Club and Dead Poets Society. But it's a slow moving process. I also am attempting to watch a lot of television series. I finished Avatar, The Last Airbender recently, and am on season 4 of Boy Meets World. I have seen both series multiple times, but they never cease to entertain me. I am also halfway through season 3 of Dexter, which I love. And I am very slowly watching Full Metal Alchemist with my boyfriend and the little time I get to see him. When I finish those (which admittedly will take a while) I've decided that I'm going to watch The Office from the beginning. I am also now obsessed with House and Glee. I think that Jane Lynch is possibly one of the funniest actors ever.
After re-reading that I realize that I seem like a media obsessed child who does nothing but sit in her room and watch TV, but that is not at all the case. I do go to school, and I (unfortunately) spend the majority of my time doing homework for classes that I only quasi enjoy. Next semester though I have classes that I am very excited for, and as this semester is already more than half over, I won't waste your time by whining about the classes I have.
Other random things about me? I love any and every musical. I was a choir kid, and I will continue to be obsessed with Wicked. I don't care how cliche that may be. (Speaking of which, I have both Wicked and Son of a Witch sitting on my shelf just waiting to be read when I find the time :D) I ran cross country in high school, and while I rarely find the motivation to get up and go for a run, I do enjoy it and find it to be the best stress reliever I have discovered. I also did Destination Imagination in high school (which I suppose solidifies my status as a nerd) and enjoyed it more than anything else. Choir, cross country, and DI pretty much made my high school experience, and I miss my friends from there quite possibly more than anyone else. Except for my sister and boyfriend of course.
Are you bored yet?
Anyway, I'll be updating this with random thoughts and questions, as well as entertaining stories and possibly reviews of the books I read and movies I watch.
Reading: The Book Thief and The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano
Watching: Boy Meets World, Season 4, Dexter, season 3, and Real Women Have Curves (for my spanish class.)
Hearing: Take Me or Leave Me from Rent :)
until next time,
Jess.
