...no burrito??

So, my roommate from Tucson totally got me addicted to Chipotle and I'm cheap and poor so I try not to buy them too often. But as of today it's been two weeks so I figured it's been long enough :) So, I've been completely psyched this whole week about my plans to get a Chipotle Chicken Burrito today when I finally got back from Tempe since there's one two miles north of Poly. I drove there thinking that today is going to be the most amazing day of my life and when I get there I find out that I have $2 and no debit card. I wanted to cry.. (not really, it was hunger pains). So, after driving home very disappointed, I ate a chicken roll and some orange sherbet (not together, of course) and watched CSI, then I felt better. :)

Fingerpainting isn't just for 5-year-olds

Yes, it's sad but I am the only 19-year-old that I know that still stick my hands in paint and smears them all over paper and isn't embarrassed about it. Actually, I'm proud of it. I regularly paint with acrylics on canvas and I love it. Recently, I have been working on an ocean scene which, as I get farther along, will eventually have a cute little lighthouse in it. :)

The Honest Scrap

10 Honest Things About Me, Mik, because I was tagged by the lovely Whit.

1. I just transferred from U of A to ASU and moved back in with my parents.

2. I miss having a job, because I hate spending money without having an income.

3. I'm majoring in Secondary Education, and I am incredibly excited to be an English teacher some day :)

4. If I could, I would spend all of my time painting, drawing, and reading. I feel like I learn a lot about myself when I am creating something.

5. I love dried fruit! :) Especially mangoes, pears, and raisins.

6. I love being outside, especially in the mountains.

7. I now share my room with my little sister Rachel (my mini-me) and it's a blast because we have so much fun together!

8. I am currently reworking a story that I have been writing since 7th grade and I think it's finally working out.

9. I love watching movies! Especially action and comedies :)

10. I hate watching TV unless I feel like it actually does me some good. I do like CSI: Las Vegas, Cold Case, Forensic Files, and occasionally Discovery Channel. (Especially crime shows!)

I'm a traitor and PROUD of it :)

Basically, U of A sucks because they got rid of their Secondary Education program... yeah, I'm mad =P Because I love it here but I don't want to have to do even more schooling after college when I could just transfer to ASU and do it all in 4 years (considering that's what my tuition waiver covers). So basically I'm leaving to go to our rival school, but you know what?? I don't care! ASU is apparently better because they don't say, 'Screw you, future-high-school-teachers!' Plus, I'm very excited to be living with my family again soon! :)

I is a college student :)

I moved into the Apache-Santa Cruz dorms about two weeks ago from yesterday. And I LOVE my roommate, she's awesome and we get along so well that it's weird. We are so alike it's freaky sometimes. I got a little homesick, but that was all cured when Whitney come down to Tucson on Friday (last weekend) to visit me! We had an amazing time :) We watched tons of Gilmore Girls with my roommate and her awesomely sweet boyfriend (he never ceases to amaze me), went to Walmart for some late dorm shopping, walked around campus several times, and went to church that Sunday. You never realize how much you miss somebody until they go away and you want to cry whenever you think about them. That's why I am so glad I am able to see Whitney so often and that I came to see my family this weekend! I have missed them SOOO much!
So far I like all my classes and I am making friends in all my classes :) I LOVE my institute class and I've only been once so far. I had a fair amount of homework this weekend but I'm done with it now :) I am SUPER excited for this week cuz there is no school Monday, Whit is coming on Thursday (we're pretty sure), and on Friday I'm leaving on my weekend-long backpacking trip! WOOT! =D I'll update later!

I'm a jobless bum...

I had to quit my job at the vet clinic of TWO YEARS and my last day was Friday. I feel like I have no life now. And strangely enough, it is very liberating. I thought it would be far more depressing than it is. I have nowhere to be, I'm never late to be anywhere because I don't have anywhere to go! Hooray for being a jobless bum!

My life sucks...

I had to go to the dentist yesterday. I hate the dentist. And the dental hygienists must hate everyone that walks through that door, because I swear they thoroughly enjoy inflicting pain on you in any way possible. My personal favorite is when they take those very sharp tools and scrape away at your teeth and just so happen to take out half of your gum with it. And only when you visibly cringe do they ask, "Oh! Did that hurt?" "No, lady, I'm only hemorrhaging from my mouth. I enjoy pain, keep going." Why do you think I'm flinching?? I do not have full-body twitching spasms! ...ugh... Oh! And then they pull out like two feet of floss, wrap it around their evil little fingers, and shove it as hard as they can between your teeth to slice through the shredded remains of what used to be your gums. Then as you lay there drowning in your own blood, she looks at you and says, "Oh! You're bleeding, you need to floss more." No, lady, I don't need to floss more. I floss twice daily, you need some serious anger management counseling to redirect the outlet of your rage!!
Oh, and I just found out I have to go back to get my wisdom teeth out. TOMORROW!
I hate dentists, and my life...
