Reading for Leisure?

Today was a pretty good day.

COM 225 was amazing, as uzsh. I learned a lot about anger and grief today in that class. It was very interesting. Also, MSU is quickly becoming the top deception research university. That is so incredibly exciting to me, you have no idea! It's like our own version of that show "Lie to Me", right in my own backyard! I wish I could take more COM classes in my coming years at State, but all the good ones are only open to Juniors and Seniors in the colleges in which I am not. I'm actually really upset about that, I wanted to learn more about how people communicate and what it means and all that it entails. But, if I get to learn about Psychology instead of Communications, I'm totally okay with that. Anyway, I absolutely CANNOT wait until Thursdays class! We're going to be learning about jealousy. Why am I excited about that? Because I am a ridiculously jealous person and I want to learn why, how/if I portray it, and how I can control it. If I sleep through this class session, I will be so pissed words can't even begin to describe it. So, yeah, I'm really excited for Thursday.

Psych was dumb, also as uzsh. Wait. I lied. Actually we did learn about some interesting things having to do with memory. Apparently not interesting enough for me to remember though. Haha. I went on stumbleupon.com in class today instead of doing those flashcards and quizzes like I said I was going to do. But, I can always do those tomorrow.

Zack was unable to meet me for lunch, so I just went back to my room to start my paper. I got about half a page done before I had to go to Campus Band. Band was great! Kate sits closer to me and Brad now, so we had a little joke sesh going on for a bit. Well, Brad and I always have that going on, but this time Kate was included. Kate was unable to go to dinner tonight due to studying, (which I guess is actually kind of good because I had to write that stupid paper for WRA) so we rescheduled to Thursday at 9:00pm. Anyway, Brad had yet to have a Puczki today and I had yet to have one in my life, so he decided that we HAD to make a stop as QD on the way home and get some. They were delicious! Thank you, Brad!

When Brad took me home, I got my computer out right away and checked all my email and social networking sites. Then about 20 minutes later I left for the library to write my paper. It's done and not amazing, but it'll have to do.

So, in COM today, my prof told us about a book that shows what the shooters in Columbine were ACTUALLY like. Apparently we've been "sold" the complete opposite of what they were really like. Now, I know it sounds really morbid or whatever, but I kind of really enjoy the psychology of criminals, so the book was pretty much a "must read". In thinking about books, I remembered a book I read in August called "Hunger Games". It was really good and it was coming out with a sequel in September of 2009. This too was considered a "must read". So, in Psych today I went on Barnes&Noble.com to see if they had these books; they did. Today I spent $50.40 on books...that are not for any classes. The books I bought are "Columbine" by Dave Cullen, "Catching Fire" by Suzanne Collins, and "Shutter Island" by Dennis Lehane. You're probably wondering why I bought the book if the movie version of "Shutter Island" is coming out in a few weeks. Well, I don't do scary movies. I just don't. So, I thought I could probably handle the book. We shall see. I'll be sure to let you know how these books are. I'm actually really excited to read them, especially "Columbine".

Tomorrow. Let's see. I have WRA at 8:00am in which I have to turn that paper. Then I have lunch plans with Justin, probably around 11:30am-12:00pm-ish. Then hopefully a quick nap before I start studying for my math quiz. Then I'll go to Math class at 4:10pm and take a quiz. Then Justin and I are going to the mall to get him some shoes and a shirt for Huddle and me some jeans and a top for Campus Band. Then I think we'll probs hang for a little bit. When I get home I may watch a bit of the Olympics and then start reading for COM 225. Oh! I just remember I have to take a quiz for Psych! I have to fit that in somewhere tomorrow. Judging by that, my day should go pretty smoothly.

Btdubs, it's 2:34am and I'm in the library still. I just finished my paper and I thought that since the buses have already stopped running, why not blog? But, I think I'm done now. Everything I needed to say has been said. Oh wait, no it hasn't. Here's what I forgot: I barely thought about Saturday today. A couple times in band (of course), but that's it. I think I'm staring to be okay with it, I just need this person to respond. A quick text may be necessary tomorrow if they don't respond by like 8:00pm. But, yeah, I think I'm coming to terms with it, though I may need to talk to Jonathan about it again. Just to be sure. That's it. Good night, friends!

Hugs and Kisses,
