It's a crazy day in the neighborhood.............. today is the friday before exams and finally feel a lil bit a easy than i have for the past two weeks. For this one day today, i really don't have to worry about anything ( meaning work). I can't tell you what a relief it has been that i dont have have a head ache because of all the work that is spinning, but dont u worry, it will be back right after that. Sorry that you havent had a link to go to recently, but my hard drive crashed and i cannot really do anything about it and that sucks. Dell is sending me a new one today I hope and i iwll kill them if i dont get it. Well, im off, its time to go to class once again and get my life over with. Its one of those im going to screw u in the ass kind of classes. I dont wanna talk about it, but i had to skip tutoring yesterday because i had to work on a project for my class. I could have killed myself and him. Tonight, however will be a good time. Im so excited for surprises, but i hate when people say they have one for me like a week in advance and i cant know what it is because thats all i think about. Yet, i love those type of surprises at the same time. Gosh, im just so all over the place HAHAHA. Its christmas time here people, we should all feel that way !!

p.s. Happy Birthday alec

It is now December 8th and the only thing that is missin from this girls' christmas spirit is the IDEA OF SNOW. where in god's good name is the snow around these parts? That is the one thing that i look forward to for the christmas time. I cant finish right now, but happy christmas till i write again. Its this idea that professors think that work neeeds to be given at such a high level for ever class....


all nighter in fellows !!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE


wow things are crazy. I just got back to campus on monday and already i have been bumbarded with work again. Sucks doesnt it. OH well what are you going to do. So many things have happened since the last time i wrote. Our rugby team has moved up a division so now we are going to be playing in Division II instead of 3. AWESOME isnt it, i know. After that, I went home to see the fam and friends for a great turkey day break. GOD it was awesome. I got to see my girls who i havent chilled or seen since august, along with the guys too. I forgot how much fun home was till i actually got there. No one has changed and its the best that way. Except, i realized that alot of my friends are just growing up and i am still the same person. Dont get me wrong, im ok with that because i love where i am in life, but its still scary to think that we are getting older. Like we were talking about the summer that we took a trip to delaware and how much fun it was. Before when we talked, it was more of a god that was awesome and this time when i went home, it was more of a wow that was a long time ago. It was just crazy is all. Sometimes, i just miss the old days where nothing mattered more than having fun everyday and not having a care in the world. Then there is the other side of me that is sooo sick of work and i just want to get out of school. Who wants to do work? I though college was all about having fun, but thats all i feel is that i am just doing work all day long, but to prepare me for what. I dont think that i am going to use half of this shit ever again, but whatever.
Travel plans: Im going to Amsterdam ( i cant spell, i already know that) for spring break. This is this concert called Amersterfest and we are going. I am sooo excited that i cannot contain myself any longer. And to make it better, my OCD roomate might come and visit me while im there r visversa. Soooo much fun that i just dont know what to do with myself. YAHOO. Plus i am looking at interships in may and there is this one i found where i can stay in NYC for a month. God am i going to have to work my ass off to do all this shit. Well gotta go and do more work but hopefully i can get back to writting in here tonight

Peace out cub scout

SATURDAYS A RUGBY DAY


hi all, well if u havent hear yet, we lost on saturday 10 - 8. It was a really sad time in my life, not going to lie and our team was all torn up inside. It was no one's fault. Thats just how the cookie crumbles sometimes. but things worked out for the best anyways. Wierd turn of events. We had the best party on saturday after our game where the theme was super hero's and yeah.... first prize goes to Ray finkle and perla for thier lovly rendition of Mermaid man and Barnacle boy. Awesome and the best costumes ever. Ali, i did like your pig tails too hahaha. Well i wanted to say thank you for all people that came to our game. Especially my mom winston churchill and BABY REESE. you guys are amazing and thats why i love u more than anything guys ( tear ).
God how i love all of you guys. Rugby girls, u are the bestest people on this planet. This might be all the coffee that i just drank, but i want to say how happy i am right now with my life. My friends are great and family is great. My roomates make me laugh more than anything. I miss my friends from home DANNY AND SCOOBY. So much. And surprising me by comming to my game on saturday by going all the way to columbus to get your car makes me smile too. Its great that i have people here for me like i am there for them. I love u all ............
I miss and love u all much, Thank you all

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH BUDDY



i had a dream last night that we won our championship game this saturday and it was one of the best dreams that i have had in a long time. Hey people out there, has anyone else going through periods of ensomnia or is it just me. HAHAHA. Katie and i have been going though stages where we cannot sleep for the life of us, reason why we arent sure, but it seems to be happened. Gosh how the time passes here at school. Can you actually believe that there are only 3 more weeks left of school for the fall semester. That to me is just nuts.

I want to apolojize to anyone who was imbarrased or annoyed by me saying somethin to or about them. I really dont mean any harm and i have learned these past couple of weeks to accept some more things about myself then i did in the past so its hard for me to realize that all people arent like me in that sense, well at all i guess. Anyways Please who ever is to read this, you guys need to come out to our game this weekend because wittenburg is tough and angry biatches and there is nothing more that we would rather do then kill them. When people are screaming on the side lines, It just makes it so much better.

Quote of the century:
"Some people that have just entered the rugby family dont understand the bond that we all share together. I know that if i was to call u while you were having sex, you would be like, 'ok pull out i gotta go and help out a rugger' and just leave him there till u helped me". - an overheard conversation between two of the teamates....

78 - 0 WIN OVER XAVIER


ladies and gentlemen, if you dont know what that means.... it means that this commin saturday, we will play wittenburg at home for the first place spot in our division. One of the best games ever though, i really cannot complain about anything because we all played awesome. Dude, my team rocks and god how could i be mad at them after such an amazing thing like a win like that. So this saturday we are going to play wittenburg and we are going to win... so they beat us in the spring by only maybe a couple of points, but we are stronger and better this year so im not worried at all. BRING IT ON......

following our amazing game, we had a great time here in my room with a couple of ruggers. I want to say that we can party ladies..... But this is the one things that i cannot understand. One person, who will remain annonomous, ( you could figure it out) was in our room for over 2 hours. She go sooo drunk that she doesnt remember being in my room and so in that matter, her friends took her home. Once they put her into bed, she had somehow fallen out off the top bunk and broke her arm in a drunken stumble. Listen we all do silly things and trust me, im not making fun of you. Im really honestly laughing with you because i can see you fallin off your bed..... How i love my team.

Well all be prepared for a game this weekend and we will keep u updated for time and all that jazz.... be there because its the best experience of your life

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND ........

So i am back in action here on the DU campus... i know its been a long time since i last wrote, but its been hecktic here in Krista world for a couple of days. So once we figured everything out. Things are finally settleing down. We are in the playoffs for rugby baby. That was one of the confusions that i really dont wanna talk about because i might cry. But we are playing Xavier at 12 on saturday so u guys should all get ur asses over there and cheer us on. What is saturday without rugby and drinking... come on now.
On my by weekend, which was last weekend... i got to go home and damn does it feel good to go home even if it was just for one weekend. I did miss out alot though because i didnt get to fullfill my trip because my travel to oswego stopped in buffalo. Dont really want to talk about it because it is too sad for words. YET, I got to see the whole fam and best of all... my mom made the best dinner known to man. I wish more of my friend could have come, but they all had plans that weekend, i mean it was Halloween. What a good time, but one thing that i did learn was that you should show up places dressed as the walk of shame because men like to hit on you more because you are dressed like that...... yeah ....... I mean walking in with Ace Ventura ( dude yeah i dressed my brother up like ace ventura with the help of mike assisting me with his hair) and a porn star seemed to be a lil funny though.. even though we were all tired as hell for reasons that i cannot explain in this blog.... we are just college kids you know. God i wish i could show u a picture of what he looked like.
Then we went to the toy store which was the most amazing time. I pushed andrea around in a scooter while mike rode around in one. All the lil kids were asking their parents when they could do it if all the big kids could. Great times. Even when we almost fell into the wall by using the pogo sticks..... those things are dangerous... they eat pants and sometimes sandles too.
One thing that i did learn the most though this weekend is that i cannot lie for anything. I should learn never to give details to any situation that my mother is not present for because she seems to ask a lot of questions that i cannot say i didnt take part in because she can bust up my lie in like 2.5 seconds. If you have ever taken part in talking to me, you would know when i am lying ( yes danny u win ). It actually puts me in a funnny conundrum some times because i usually end up laughing to much to controll myself. It sucks. If someone could teach me however how to lie, life could look a lot better for me.
With all the fun i did have, i missed alot of things here. Like junes bumble bee costume where she had a stinger that could rape someone (or herself i guess), Averi's break dancer costume, or evne Karen Anderson with a lil brain storming in my room where we came up with the idea that she was going to be a guy in a canoo which i think i can post online if i figure out how.

This weekend is actually very special for alot of reasons.... 1 being rugby of course, but my lil sister is all growing up and making her confirmation this weekend. TEAR... i wish i could be there but its too hard to drive for more than 10 hours in one day. Im sorry baby reese. I breaks my heart.

Ok well i have to get back to my room but when i get back ther, Anderson's picture will hopefully be on my website.... we will just have to see now won't we

see u guys later

TODAY IS AN AMAZING DAY :
why u guys ask? Because we beat Ohio Weslian today and we are now the first place spot in our division. I LOVE MY GIRLS. honestly, there is no one else in the world that i would rather have on my team than the girls that we play with now. So things in the rugby world are great. But im sorry Chrisitian that you got a red card today and got kicked out of the game..... you are awesome. So we won 8 - 3, it was one of the closest games that i have ever played in my whole life. Good game ladies and gentlemen. Plus, my coach threw an amazing BBQ and actually let me eat. Hahaha its a long story, but she calls the backs thing bitchs and tells us usually that we arent allowed to eat. Kills me that woman. Much love to you

New realization these past couple of days. It makes me laugh watching people interact with eachother. hahah. I know that sounds funny, but it makes me laugh. Like on fridays morning where june and mike have now decided that they want to get full jump suits, bot not just any jump suits, the ones with the lil booties on the end. It kills me soo much.

Best weekend ever so far and its just getting better. I love meeting new people especially those who reside in the C-bus that make me laugh more than anything (thanks to carlos, justin, erika and all u guys for making me feel at home). Anyways, its off i go to rest the wounds from the rugby battle and ice my face from the right hook that i think i got. Anyways, have fun all and we will talk again lata!

NEW REVELATION


I CANNOT SPELL SO MAKING FUN OF ME OR CORRECTING THESE THINGS WILL DO NO GOOD BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT I WILL EVER LEARN.....
that is all

The day after yesterday:
Hi Everyone, welp i know its two days in the row but i dont know if this is going to happening all the time. Best time ever yesterday, doing what you ask? One of my favorite things ever and that is just sitting and listening to bands play. It's a plus that it might be one of my favorite bands this day. American Cherry was amazing as usual. Tom can take it away with the lyrics, Jordan on his guitar, and Mike on the sax ( sooo sexy ). I would say more about the rest of the band but i dont know them as well as these three so i cant make any passes at them. Anyways, so they opened for this band called Oval Opus . They are really good, and it was pretty funny when a certain person that is on a power trip tried to controll a certain Ray Finkle. I learned the hard way that you never sush or tell the Fink meister what to do without getting repremanded. So things are once again on cloud 9 for me today. I mean i have a really bussy day, but i learn to deal. Things will be awesome tonight (blushing) and tomorrow too and on saturday when we play Ohio Wesleian ( i cant spell) where we are going to win and take first place in our division for rugby ( i hope that is ). Well i am off to do more work than need be done. Talk to u all later.

oh and PS, i broke the door know off today when i was trying to shut the door without waking up the roomies, but it didnt really work out that well. YAHOOO


Quote of the day: The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point, however, is to change it" - Karl Marx

Yes people, im back and in action. How have u guys been? Me, awesome. School is awesome this year and things with the roomies are awesome. I have three this year. Right now we have a stinky kid. She reminds me of the kid in Charlie Brown comic that always has a dust cloud behind him mixed with a free caring hippi mixed in. Rommie #2, sometimes has the same problem with her "closet looks like it exploded all over" as someone quoted. By the way, she broke the door knob off to the hallway last night. She is 85 lbs of furry. And the third one is #2's assistant in the rebreaking off of the doorknob. We all like to call her the OCD child where sometimes one piece of rice on the counter makes her go over board, but we all love it. They named me the crazy room... I really cant figure out why though because i dont consider the jumpin on the couch all night something crazy and just because a lil bit more polish shows on me ( i am polish so i can say that). Anyways, welcome to the world of Shep 321 and 322. Anyways, i would love and stay and talk but i have to go.... we are going to go and see American Cherry perform at Slayter.... so excited American Cherry .

Topic of conversation: For th next couple of weeks, i have decided to explore what is appropriate for teenagers at school. Mostly, i thought it would be interesting to explore the ideas of sex education and what is considered ok for us to be able to talk about in highschool. I want to explore the idea of age limits in society and what they pertain to society. When is it ok to talk about certain things? Why is college considered the time to learn about life, but most of us arent allowed to drink till we are seniors. It just seems like so many things are contradicting in life. Here for example is a web site about what sex education teached teenagers in school. Sex Edu . This site talks about all ideas that could be talked about in sex ed, but the main reason why i am bringing this up is to show how parent approval has to be apart of the decision making process.

I know that is has been a year since the last time that i wrote, but im back in action BABY. More to come shortly ..... have to pay attention for class right now

FINAL GRADE
I know that some of u might be upset that you don't get to read about me for a while because this is my last entry, but don't worry. Just because the year is ending, does not mean that I am going to stop keeping you guys informed. Well we have to write an essay about what we have learned this semester. The question is what advice would you give to someone who wanted to produce an oral narrative for radio or web? YOU WANT TO DO IT is possibly what I would say for advice. I would have to say that make sure that you do something that is to your interest because there is no way to continue on a show that you are bored with because you will never get your best quality out of it. I think that in this generation, the only way to keep the attention of a lot of people is to make the show funny because people aren't going to stay interested in a show that is sort of serious for too long. Make sure that everyone in the group has an input into what you want to do because there is no way that people will work together if they don't all get to decide on everything. Carefully plan out all of the moves that you want to make so that nothing is over looked because if you don't plan out everything, most of the items you will forget. Always test your equipment before you use it because sometimes it looks like it works and it wont. When you interview, make sure that you are in an area where other noises wont interfere with your recording. Like recording outside or in a crowded area is a bad idea. The most ideal place is to go somewhere where the rooms are padded so that its not too loud. Having a very clear sounding interview is really important because all muffled sounds will be worthless when you are editing. However, before you start to make your interviews, make sure you write out a script as to what you are going to write and say when you get to you interview. Make the questions clear and precise so that the interviewee isn't confused. Then as you compose your interviews, make sure that create a semi story line that will help you know what kind of direction that you would like to go in. This way, the interview will sort of stay on track. Once, the interviews are all over and completed, go through with the group and discuss which interviews and interview parts you want to keep. This way, there is no bias as to which ones are choose. Then, once the interviews are chosen, be very careful when editing and make sure that you go through numerous times so that you have all the information that you want. Make sure that you keep insink with all the people that you work with and everything will be awesome.

Things on this side of the world are awesome right now in alot of ways, but not so much in a couple others. Last weekend was the lambda chi formal and it was really a great time. How often can you get really dressed up and go have a really nice dinner and dance the night away with an amazin guy. Then go out on the patio with all of your friends and get a great view of the city of columbus over the water, plus it was actually warm and not rainin at this time so it was aweosme. My parents came that weekend and got to see us play some rugby. How awesome is it that brian and grahm showed up at Ohio northern to see us play. It only takes like 2 1/2 hours when we get lost (yes thats right, we got lost going there and back, dont know how). It was an awesome time to see the fam. I miss them alot when they are away. PS, getting back to rugby, Wittenburg girls team are pieces of shit that play dirty to win. They beat us by 3 i think, but i have never seen a team play so diry and disrespectful in my whole time here on this planet. I would like to say that these people should be ashamed of themselves for the way that they acted. YOU the girl with the blus scrum cap on, yeah, threatenin to kill someone because you dont like the way that they hit you, well guess what, i kicked you ass when i ran straight over you. That was for June, yeah june, we dont let people treat us that way. BOOO WITTENBURG. we would have played them today in our tournamnet only if they didnt get kicked out for starting a fist fight with another team beacuse they were loosin 49- 0 hahaha. They even sent their guys team out there and tried to fight the girls team. Now i know the OSU girls, and sometimes they are a lil tough, but never in my life have i ever seen them try to start a fight with anyone. BOOO WITTENBURG

Now, You ladies and gentlemen are looking at the womens rugby team who after four hard hard games this weekend came and won the ohio classic tournament. YAHOO for us. We have been pushed so hard this semester that we deserve everything that comes with it. I made my debu at flyhalf. Not going to lie, its a lil hard and scary to be playing. I mean im trying to fill a pair of Kendricks shoes....... not that easy i promise you that. Yeah so the sad thing to this whole weekend was it was the last time that our seniors would play a real game against us. Yeah, its a lil wierd trying to come back next year with the best of the best leavin us and movin on to big and better things. I will miss them all.



Here is to the ladies that are better than the anything in the world, they are my inspiration and big sisters that i have always wanted, thank you guys for everything

Hello all. I know it has been a really long time since i last wrote, but things have been all over the place and what not with the year started to come to an end. How sad it that, in less than a month, i will be away from Denison and back on the homefront of Buffalo, N.Y.. Speakin of Buffalo, the fam came up this weekend, all of them. I loved every second of it. I really miss them when we arent together alot. (ps Today is Mama Reese's b-day. I cant tell u how old she is or she said that she will kill me). My sister is lookin older and older as the days go on and it sort of scary to think how she is getting to be so long. WOW
Other things that have been going on..... We lost our game on saturday to wittenburg 5-0. I am more than pissed that we lost because they sucked hard core and we were better than them. Plus we dont threaten lives when we are playing like some wittenburg girls. You know what i say to them, fuck you as i head butt my way across them, ( that really happened and it sort of hurt). Well we have Ohio Classics this weekend and we are going to KILL the first two teams that we play and then have another match against this many wittenburg team where we will distroy them hard core distroy type thing. FUCK UM UP RUGBY as katie bush likes to say sometimes.
Even in the mist of all this emotion of anger and saddness from loosing, my family was there and i got a lil special visit from Brian and Graham who suprised me and gwenn by commin to our game. What nice guys they are. And just leave it to me and brian for him to get lost on the way there and me to get lost on the way back where we had to rush to get ready for the lambda formal that was that night. That was interesting. HAHAHA
No no no i didnt want that to sound bad, i had an amazing time there. The building was awesome as well as all of my friends and date that i went with. Cudos to Charlie shmitt for putting it all together and the amazing dance that he set aside for me in the middle that somewhat made me uncomfortable. HAHAHA. But who cares, we all still had fun ALL NIGHT LONG and im done hahaha.
Anyways, well its off to 3 on 3 basketball for me on monday's and wednesday's IF ANY GIRLS WANT TO PLAY PLEASE COME DOWN AND JOIN US. . Also as i start to talk about playing sports.....


WE ARE LOOKING FOR WOMEN'S RUGBY PLAYERS TO JOIN OUR TEAM IN THE FALL. IF YOU LIKE TAKING OUT YOUR AGRESSION ON ANNOYING GIRLS, GETTING GREAT FRIENDS AND DRINKING JOIN US AND PLAY RUGBY

Today is friday, yes that s right. But the problem with this is that almost everyone is going home this weekend........ yeah. Its ok, im going to round up all the people on campus and have a HUGE cookout. Maybe. I mean if everyone contributes that is. Its starting to finally get nice, but i guess its going to drop once again next week. DAMN

Nothin really to talk about. So just have to make a comment that Kerry has fallen to the bottom of the latter with her new catch phrase for herself. "What's cooler than being cool, ICE KERRY" wow thats all i got... have a great weekend people and talk to you later

When you want to fix something, such as a telephone, don't you think that you should throw it against a wall and miraculously it will work again? See that's what I though, but I guess that my phone didn't like that. These past couple of days since I last wrote to you have been really interesting. Well lets see, I have to take summer classes because I don't think ill have enough time but its only going to cost 1,800 dollars for two classes. So you know welp guess that idea is out the window. But the funniest story of the week happened at 5a.m. today. I woke up in the middle of the night to see my roommate Beth standing between her bed and the wall flipping her mattress over. I couldn't figure out what she was doing so I asked her. So she said that she got her "package" for the month and it was bad so she had to wash her sheets. So I was like ok cool cool whatever. So I wake up at 7:30 and Beth is just looking at me. I asked her what was it and she told me that the whole story about the sheets, well she was sleep walking and it didn't happen. That's right, she took her bed apart and thought there was all this stuff of the sheets, but no there was nothing there. WOW

I get to choose where I live tomorrow with Katie, June and Julie. We are really excited but im not all worried like a lot of the girls here seem to be about it. IF it doesn't work out ok whatever, but already I have seen crying, bitch fights, guys throwing chairs, and everything else that you could do when u are pissed off. It's such a sad time of year when this lottery thing comes up for housing. Out of the four of us, out highest number is 71, but that's ok, im still not worried about it at all.

So yeah this summer, I am going to work at the YMCA summer camp and be a camp counselor. Its going to be really really awesome. I really hope I get the job and then I can work with lil kids and have some more experience if my whole teaching career thing works out.
Its been a really weird time lately here, I mean in a good way. Rugby is awesome and we are still undefeated. YES ! We play wittenburg next weekend and if we win, then we will be the champions of the division III bracket and possibly be moving up to Division II, it will be awesome. We still have the fam together. Its sort of a polygamy type thing in a sense because there are like 8 of us, but its ok because me and Evan will be taking care of all the old farts when they are in their wheelchair's and we are running marathons......... Yeah that's right ! We named it the P.C. fam (penis convention). I know its childish but most of the members are men and those who aren't like penis anyways so I mean its awesome. Peter congratulations on being alpha, while Brian got kicked down to Omega after his really bad joke that he had brought to the table. I forgave him after he told me about the drug cocktail he had for breakfast. Our immediate family is B2K (Kerry got that one all on her own). She is a lil creative gal, I love her very much hahahaha.

Well, that's all I know is that we have a rugby suite next year so when the 9 man shep lambda room isn't having a party, these girls will and you are all invited once we get it set up, unless someone else wants to donate their room to a party room ?

Gotta go now.: BEER TIME

Well guys, its Wednesday and once again I am swapped with work. The budget thing sucks. Why do u have to write a proposal for every single item u want? Honestly a page about what u want, who is going to read all that crap. Well anyways, I am having a day.......... U know those days were u think of the old days and sometimes wish that things were still that care free and u had no worries other than getting out of work ontime so u can go and party with all your friends. God I wish that was still the case. Things are good at school, but my friends from home are going to be missed a lot this summer when they aren't living here with me :( its ok though because I know that they are moving on to learn how to be on their own. Im just not at that stage yet. I like being sort of dependent on the fam and want to hold on to them for a lil while longer when its still an ok age to live with them. Well, I don't know, things did look up today though when I found out that our comm class 228 is cancelled for Friday and the rest of next week.. YES !! Not that we don't love u Prof. Gilbert, but no class is always good class....

Well today is Tuesday...... NASH BASH was the best tournament ever this year. Some of the highlights: 1. Dawn and dickie wanting to go swimmin in the water fountain, but Barnes actually going in naked and it only going up to his knees. 2.Barnes and Joann both getting necked by a guy dressed in a Hookers outfit then the same guy giving wittmer an ass rodeo, 3.Jon Bon getting tackled by the EKU girl who stole all of his tacos that he got by walking through the drive threw, 4. Casey puking on the bus yet still denying the fact that he ever pukes, 5. the hotel having to drain the hot tub because a lot of us decided to go skinny dipping, 6. Bates ripping out a duck crossing sign, throwing it in the pond and tackling wittmer without remembering any of it the next day, 7. Wolf getting kicked out of the hotel for public display of nudity ( which we had to sneak him back in at 4 in the morning), and 8. Of course a lot of amber bock on tap (way for June, Gwen, Phil and I to be the first ones in line).... WHAT? YEAH..... As Phil would say. There was of course more but that's all that is ok to write about right now. I have never seen so much tacking outside of a game, naked people, illegal events and people getting kicked out of hotels in one weekend. But it was really a good time all in all. If there are any girls out there that are reading this, or even boy for this matter, and you LOVE BEER, TACKLING AND A LOT OF ACTION, join the Rugby team because we can all promise a lot of those things.
If anyone went to battle of the bands, you all might have heard a band called American Cherry . This is a new band that I discovered to be really awesome and I know for sure that they are playing at relay for life on the 17th of April here at Denison @ 1 so I would suggest that you all go to support them. But yeah, hopefully the Lamda's here will have a concert that a certain Jeremy Heartburg has gotten my hopes up on. Dont disappoint Jeremy. Things here at Denison are really lookin up. This year is going amazing and I think that I have actually learned how to make the best out of a situation which is something that used to be a problem for a while. Hahaha.
Even though I don't get to be as cool as all those other school and live off campus, but I am going to have a sweet rugby room with Karen, Finkle, June, Katie, Julie, and I. Its really going to be awesome. This is a change that I am really looking forward to. I don't know what it is about today, but I feel like I am in my own world where I just cant stop smiling. It's a good thing, but anyways everyone good luck with everything these days weather it be work, looking for a job, dealing with something that isn't as easy or whatever, but good luck all.........

Bye the way people............ today is DANIELLE ZAWODZINSKI'S 20TH BIRTHDAY...... HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANNY !!!!!

Today is thursday and yes, it is one day before we leave for NASH BASH. The best fuckin tournament in the history of rugby, well that might now be true, but u know waht i mean. Nashville, Tennessee where all u can do is drink alot and play rugby, which pretty much sums up my weekend that is commin up. Nash Bash is also a key for the start of the spring season so every weekend till the end of the year, i will be playin rugby with my girls. I am sooo happy for that. YAHOO...... well now its off to finish preparing for this event... Everyone have a great weekend........ i know i will :)

Today is usually always a good day for me. You know, no classes and we have rugby practice. YESSSS. Practice was just what i needed ot realize how much I missed Rugby we played 5 on 5 and 10 on 10 today. It was really fun, but my coach wants me to play this one postion where i need to learn to run in a straight line and its not easy. I am used to running sort of to the side so i can follow the back line, but i have to lead them so its a lil different and hard. But anyways that not really important............. its just a tiring day where i am really really sore and dont know really what to talk about so yah tada........ peac and love

Well its the first day back to school and things are already back on track, the Tridelts are havin a party upstairs and the Sig Eps are havin a st patties day party downstairs and the D chi's are havin a bar party tonight. Its college once again and i cannot complain. Well Denison is just the way that i left it the first time. I miss home of course and i miss spring break where my brother threw up all over the side of my friend Natalya's car along with some other great stories that i would love to share, but this is a PG-13 page in a sense or at least im trying ot keep it that way. One song that ALL people need to look up, The Darkness: I believe in a thing called love.... good good good song. But right now thats all i can say. I am taking a night off of drinking and moving to chocolate milk...... peace and love

just so everyone knows, yes i am home for spring break but its awesome........ tonight is sunday but yet we are going down town of the st. patties day celebration irish style......... everyone have a good trip :-D

Today is Sunday and I just wanted to write a lil bit about this weekends events and how awesome they were. Like many of the people on this campus this weekend, i was really under the influence for most of the weekend. 300 people joined on the quad friday night to celebrate the naked Frisbee and what not.... Very very good and I heard a new favorite song. Darkness: I believe, if u can still download its a good song. Um so yah that's all I wanted to say that it was a very big scene here and we had our first semi rugby party this weekend where my roommate Beth and I skunk Adam Wolfrod and his friend. For those of you that don't know what skunking is...... when you are playing beerpong, some people have a rule that if one team makes all of their cups and the other team doesn't make one, then you have to run around the building naked...... hahahha it was awesome that we actually skunked them. Cudos to you Boys for running........

Ok people today is a very very very big day.... can anyone guess why..... Ill tell u why... Starsky & Hutch is why. I have been waiting for this movie for over a month now and I cant hardly contain myself. I think that if u enjoyed meet the parents and old school, this is the movie for u .........!
On another note, my roommate got really drunk last night and became one of the two girls that decided to streak across north quad last night. People sort of cheered, but you know some of those north quaders, they aren't really allowed to talk that much. Tonight is going to be an array of parties that have the celebration for the end of naked week, but we have to keep it on the dl, because some people have to go and tell security about it and get us all in trouble... Who does that? So some people like to run naked, some people are ok with being naked with someone, and some don't. Its just one of those things.
Went to see the Wonderful town last night. The Denison musical here this year and it was quite an interesting set up. I mean, the way that the characters got to interact with the audience was quite fun, but at the same time, it was a lil close and personal for me. My date for the evening was very nice and decided he didn't want me to walk far so he parked on the sidewalk infront of Burke just to be a nice guy. Soo sweet.
Im all over the place today but the most important thing of today is for you all to see the movie that is at the top of this post...... I think we would all enjoy it :)

ok so today is tuesday. Same old thing here at Deinson. This weekend was filled with alot of excited things. According to TAylor Ferguson, this week is Naked Week 2k2, taking back the hill. This ritual was first intruduced to me last year were all week, people run around east qad naked, why? i really dont get that part yet. Yesterday started to tradition when two young men took a stroll around east quad, smoking cigars, NAKED. very interesting i know, and i as i have heard i believe that naked softball/ wiffelball are tonight, maybe kicked ball, but hey its always fun. If you like to be naked, come joiin the rest of these kids tonight... nothing wrong with being naked i guess. Peace and love. P.s..... Watched the Goonies yesterday, and you know, i really enjoyed that movie when i was younger. Now, it really wasnt as great as i remember it. AGree? Disagree?

So i know that i am a day behind and all, but today is a great day.... Why.. because its friday and almost everyone loves friday. And because my friend yan AKA cooper is commin to visit tonight. It is awesome.. I am soo excited. I dont know, same old thing going on around here, but there is also something magical. Right now, my roomate beth and my friend kerry are fighting over Pete who is a lambda because they both want him to take them to his formal and they arent taking no as an answer. It was quite an interesting lunch when the comment was "Pete listen here, you have two options.... Take me or die" hahaha. Its funny because its a joke that is going on.
Today it's really nice outside and thats all i can think about is the luck that i have latly. I mean my friends from home, god how i miss them so much. Its hard to be away from them for so long expecially when u are home, you spend every day together, no exceptions haha. And here its going really well too. Not going to lie, there are proubaly alot of people that second guess this school, but things are going really well. I have made some new friends that are amazing and learned to let go on alot of things that were making me up. so thank you guys for everying and you girls back at home, God ill see u soon hahaha Peace and love hommies

Pages 17-23 on radio.

i like the thought of the mic and where you have to keep it. I didnt really think of an idea like that till i read it. I didnt think that it would make a big different if you were 4 or 8 or 12 inches from a persons face. And i didnt know that you have to record the sounds that are in the back round before so u can edit them out later. I remember that you tought us about breath sounds in the audio too. I remember learning alot about that in highschool, with different pitches when i was editing the video tape. I like that once they show you how the professonials do it, then they explain how you can do it as well.

So today is another blog that is just going ot be normal i guess. Its wednesday and i dont know what else to say. There is a battle of a bands tonight and a couple of us are going tonight. It is going ot be interesting because i really have never been to one before so it sounds interesting. We are going to see Gramma's something i dont know waht the title is again. Anyways, so i just thought that it would intersting to write about that right because this is the first time at denison that i can see soemthing that is raw and orginal, not something that u can see everyday. Well im off to eat dinner i hope, what is tonight........... salad greeeeeeat.

Well journal, today is the best day of my life i think. For a little over 4 years, my mom was struggling with breast and liver cancer. Not going to lie, but we have really had our ups and downs with her. My mom knows i love her, but things were really bad for awhile. Anyways, I got a phone call today from my mom crying. Usually, i alwasy thought that was bad, but today...... it was different. My mom said that she went to the doctor and the doctor said that my mom went into remission. For all those who dont know what that means.... it means she doesnt have any more cancer in her cells that they can see right now. This is the best news that i have had in 4 years.... MY MOM IS OK!!! she is soo strong and i just home that all people that have cancer can one day get the same news that my mom got because all people deserve that. THANK YOU GOD

This post is going to be used for two days. Pages 7 -17 of Radio.
I think that it is interesting that this guy is going into an interview with really no questions. He just want to get to three main points that will create the whole interview. I always thought that people wrote down questions incase they got stuck on something and needed some more guidence. I think that Ira is a little crazy just going into an interview and not having any questions to ask the interviewee. He just scribbles little ideas on a piece of paper that might get him somewhere. Thats crazy. I like that you work hand in hand with the person being interviewed, like you have to lead them to whereever you want them to go. If you want them to open up, you have to open up too. This isnt a one sided show. And i believe that he is right when he says that radio is a very visual medium and you need to show your listener what had happened. Its really interesting that you have to get all the little details of the story for it to fit together so well. Without those details that dont seem really big, the listener wouldnt really be interested because you cant get that visual picture in your head. I think that this comic book is really great for a person who really isnt sure about things. I like that this american life does their show different from everyone else because they can and think that it is better that way than any other thing. All the things that this comis book is tellin us is really awesome. I never really thought that this much work went into some audio, but i also think that it is really cool that so much detail is put into something like this as well.

Radio Comic This is the web site that we are reading the comic off of. If you have read it, you will know that it is the story of how This American Life decides what shows are going to be used. I think that it is awesome they way that some of these things work. I mean you have to be really creative to this of different topics all the time. Its really cool that you can listen to all these people's stories and then decide what type of show that you want to case. Even if a story doesn't sound good at the beginning, if you use your imagination like the people of this show, you could probably use it later. I like that this American life talks about things that aren't talked about in the normal news or media. They tell stories about things that all people might experience, but never really talk about them or twist the stories because they like to keep there listeners on the radio for a long time. This is a great point, that they think through how they are going to say things so that people are interested in the story for a long period of time.
Even though some people might think that with radio that you just jump on and start doing your thing, there is a lot more to do there. Sound checks as well as different run troughs so that every second is used to the best of its ability. They also talk through every thing to make sure that they are going to keep people on the edge and they are going to work with them so that all the listeners stay interested.

Just wanted to start out in saying that I hope that everyone had a great valentines day. MY sister Andrea was my date. SO cute. But there is something that is more important right now that I would like to talk about.
I had to go home for a funeral this weekend. This post is for her. Rosemary was a friend of mine, but a best friend to danielle and katie. From the story that I am told(sorry if it is a little off), Rosemary was 6 months pregnant and started to have convolutions ( I cant spell) on Monday. She went to the hospital to get medicine which stopped it for the day. When she went home that night, she broke the news to her parents that she was pregnant, but you couldn't even tell that she was. Of course that were upset, but were going to deal with it. When Rosemary woke up on Tuesday, she started having more seizures and they couldn't stop them. They rushed her to the hospital and realized that she had a blood clot in her heart. The doctors knew that they had to get the baby out so they performed a seisection. One the baby was out, they started to work on Rosemary's heart. They worked for over a hour, but it was too late. She had died. Im not tellin you this story so that you can be upset or anything like that, but just to know that Rosemary meant a lot to the people that knew her. Rosemary was only 18. Rosemary, wherever you are, I hope that you are happy and safe and well, we all miss you.
Its hard to loose someone, many of us know that. Just please think of her in your heart and remember that life is very fragile so be careful and Carpe diem........ live life to the fullest
Rosemary: November 1983 - February 11, 2004

You are So Beautiful To Me If you listen to the first few minutes of teh audio line, its really funny because there is this amazing song, but the words only say, you are so beautiful to me.... but not to anyone else. Hahaha i think that it was funny because people are just to critical about the things that are going on. The woman that is on the show is funny because it took her 5 years to pay off the bird and now its the most annoying thing for her and she has gotten used to this bird after 23 years. I understand how this woman is feeling because this bird it attacking her kids because the kids are invaiding the birds space. However, she cant get rid of the bird because she is to attacked to them. You can see that people can get to attached to things and it is hard for people to give up on those things that are to close to you. Its good to hear things like that and you understand the bond that occurs between the owner and the pet.

Detectives This story is really cool to me because it talks about how a girl wants to be a private eye at age 11, but her dream was trashed after she found out that they only wanted men. The way that the music is being used, makes you think of your childhood again and what it feels like to have that dream of wanting to be a detective when u were younger. It was fun to make pretend of the little things that you always thought were so big. The music during the first verse was used to heighten the stories that he had studied. I think that it was interesting that this guy describes in great detail the thoughts that had crossed his mind. When he describes these things, he finds out all this infromation about his mom. However, it was just boring after awhile because the music wasnt present and it was just one guy talking over and over again where you start to get uninterested.

So today is Sunday and just finished rugby a couple of hours ago. You know when you start to hurt the next morning after a really hard practice. Well, im hurting already... dont get me wrong, rugby is the best sport to me. The tackling, statagies, drinkin, ball handeling, and of course drinkin. What more can a person ask for? But this weekend is even a better story that i think i have to share with all of you. I was wondering why a guy on thurday would say that he wanted to take you to dinner and then when u see him friday night, he is going home with another girl? hmmmmmm. Dont get me wrong, i already thought that nothing was going to really happen between the two of us, so im not upset about the actual guy at all, im pissed about the way that this guy handled this type of situations. Me= "Are you walkin her home or are you walkin her home and then going to hook up with her?" Him= "Well i don't know, I like u alot, but i dont really know u and im really drunk and i was wondering if we can still be friends?" What in gods good name is that supposed to be? Apology, excuse, make me feel better, and trying to fix the situation all in one? Kills me that that actually happened. I dont think that all guys are this way at all, there is a select few that aren't and im sure that guys feel the same way, i hear about it all the time. Im not sayin that i am perfect in any way, but what i am saying is how do people say things they dont plan on following threw, just be honest with them (except for some of those things that you dont share with people..... ex. "Excuse me for a second, i have to shit") and it really will make a difference. So for all those people out there who have had a situation like the Me and him conversation, congradulations.... your human, but if you are anything like me, you would wish that some people would just get a lil bit of common sense before that start to talk to someone. And feel better, its the season of love where Valentines day is afoot. And last thing, you will see an audio link that is going to be posted after this post all about the opinion of fashion at denison university. I hope everyone enjoys.

so i thought that i posted something yesterday but it seems since denison has the shittyest computers and internet ever, i guess it didnt work... lets see now

Now that we have to write every day that we are in school till the end of the year, its going ot be pretty interesting the things that we can come up with. It's was just that weekend folks where all the greeks are bussy getting thier houses together and recruiting all their members. I dont hate against them at all dont get me wrong. Its just that time where all of us non greek people get together and do our thing. I went to eat with two of my friends the other night, i definatly dont suggest indian food ever. Its not something for us people who just enjoy a simple sandwich and fries from some chain food resturant or even those folk who want steak and potatoes, pretty much the whole population. But hey whatever floats your boat, i guess its always something new to try.... Well time for me to go, gotta train for rugby season. It starts this sunday and you know everyone wants to be there.... more updates on the rugby thing soon

This site will be my personal journal that can explain to you as well as me what i am thinkin of. Today is a great day, just like any other, where you can sit and think about the things that make you happy and realize the great things you have. I, personally, have my best friends from home (25 and Scooby), both girls and guys, my amazing friends from here that make me smile so wide as i see them from across the quad, Rugby of course (saturday IS a rugby day), and my family. Robert, Serdar, Mama, and Papa. But of course there is Baby, who by the way is going to be 15 on 27th. Happy Birthday Baby
Yesterday, our room had a great party where many people showed up who i didnt know, not that that was a bad thing, but it makes me nervous to try to control situations like that. Thanks to some of the people that were here last night, i kept my cool (thank you). One of the roomies decided to make a commitment in her drunkin state to a guy that i think she really likes. She was so happy and i was so glad that she was happy, but for her just like all of us at one time or another, people dont want to date so that they can preserve their friendships. It's a good idea i guess for her, but if she likes the guy, maybe u should try somthing just to test the waters.
You know, maybe I am loosing my mind or finally realizing that it is close to Valentines day, but thats all i hear these days is about people and how they love their boyfriends or girlfriends (its not bad i like it) or others that have seem to find true love all of a sudden and it puts me in a warm and great mood for them even if I dont have that feeling quite yet these days. I guess im just one of those girls that needs to be swept off her feet and know that a guy cares for her to make it right. I am not asking for marriage or this huge committment plan, but being used just plain old sucks. Right now my life is amazing because i have those friends that make you laugh and care for you and would do anything for you, but having someone to cuddle with and care for u is always awesome too.... Well untill later, have a great day and look forward to the days of journal that you could read !!
