Insight into my Brain

If you ask anybody who knows me well if I am an impulsive person, they will laugh and probably say something like, "Yes! This one time.." or "Yeah, she random reaches over and grabs my face." But they will probably never tell you about a destructively impulsive moment and that would be because I have amazing self-control. The truth is I have random, mischievous impulsive ideas constantly. For example, on Wednesday my friend Sesa and I planned a surprise going away party at BJ's for our friend Analise who is moving on Saturday. Each one of us had a personal pizza sitting on (OH! I just totally had an urge to flick the busdriver in the back of his head!) a little stand in front of us and a rather large spatula sitting in it. We were all talking and suddenly I stopped and turned to my friend next to me and said, "Karrie, I just got the random urge to catapult that tomato across the room." Then a few weeks ago at swing dancing, I was standing behind this really fat Mexican dude and after several long, torturous minutes I finally texted my sister and said, "There's this really fat Mexican dude standing in front of me and he has GIANT fat rolls on the back of his head and I want to poke it SO BAD!"
Some how I am able to control myself but it's easier said than done... so watch out :)

...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!
