weird things happened

I am not the kind of person to travel. I'm not but I did.....


I went to Italy. It all worked out. I am a world traveler.

But here's the thing! After being back home for months it's almost hard to believe that I actually did that. "I went to Italy" sounds false coming out of my mouth. These memories that I have circling my brain don't feel like mine. They feel like they were stolen from the sort of person that would get on a plane and travel thousands of miles from their home....which isn't me at all.

I'm a nester, so to speak. I stay home; my kind of social gathering is going to a crowded place to read. And yet, I-ME!-I went to Italy.

But besides all that it's hard to come back to reality.

College has started again. I'm in my senior year of college about to get my English Literature Major with a Certificate in the Classics, but nothing seems normal anymore. Last year when I started classes again it seemed normal; I've had 15 previous first days of school and everyone of them got me used to the routine of it. I buy the school supplies, do the homework, etc etc. But this time? I made all the preparations and do all the homework and it all seem dissimilar. Like this is my first first day of school. I cant help but wonder if it's because I went to Italy, or if there's some unknown reason as to why this time is so different.

I'm stupid!

So my life has been going pretty...ok recently. I am in my third year in college and just transferred from MATC to the University of Wisconsin Madison. I now, after a long time searching, have found a great job that doesn't make me hate my life and the people I work with are great too. Though school is still streasful enough to make me have panic attacks at least one a month I am fairly comfortable with my life.

Why am I stupid you ask? Because I am putting everything I have into a study abroad opportunity to maybe, if I get accepted, going to Italy. There I would be visiting places like Pompeii and Herculaneum and eating real italian pizza and gelato.

Sounds Great? But if you knew me you would know why this is stupid.

I am a person that puts everything I have into a dream of mine and go for it. When I don't get that dream I am completely crushed and it takes me forever to recover. I dream of traveling and going to a place that not only is foreign to me but also a place that has a lot of ties in Mythology. There is a very real chance that I can be not accepted into going on this trip. There is also a very real chance that I will be accepted and then after everything is ready to go the terror of what I am about to do, leave Wisconsin for 3 weeks by myself, will hit and...I don't know what would happen then.

I'm also pretty anti-social. Of course, I struggle with this part of myself on a daily basis and continuously try to get over my insecurities but I've never quite gotten over it. During these three weeks, if I go of course, I'll be surrounded by people I don't know and expected to make friends with them.

So I'm stupid because when I finally get comfortable in my life, or as comfortable as I could get, I go and screw it up! I do something that quite possibly could mean counselling if it goes bad....or if it goes good for that matter.

Halloween in Anthropology

I was in my Anthropology class on Halloween and had a great time. He had scheduled a board game for that day because he knew most people either wouldn't be focused or wouldn't be there at all.
I walked into class dressed like a woodland elf from lord of the rings! (I'm a nerd so what lol)

Anyways he stated that he was sorry he didn't bring candy because he was going to be spending all his money the next day on a "nerdy thing".
I jokingly said "Sounds fun" very sarcastically. and then he goes "Look who's talking woodland elf" lol Not only was my costume good enough for people to know what I was, but it also made my day that much better by that conversation.

I love Halloween!

The Flash Drive

So I lost my flash drive last week and I was so upset because they're expensive. The next day I entered to win a prize and guess what my prize was. A FLASH DRIVE!!! no kidding. There is some big cosmic joke going on.

Christmas songs.

So i've been listening to 94.9 for days now just to hear the little drummer boy song come on because it's my favorite and they still haven't played it. However, until they do play it I am settling for the song "Do you hear what I hear" by Bing Crosby as my favorite until such time as the radio station stops messing with me.

Here it is
The Little Drummer Boy

Do you hear what I hear

Tacky tics

So we have this guy in my Math class that has an English accent and the first thing he asks the class is "what is the first thing you think of when you hear my accent?" and being who I am, I blurted out "Harry Potter!” I was really relieved when he was the first one to start laughing. Then we somehow got on the subject of different names for things and he asked why tic tacs aren’t called tacky tics. The only explanation we had for that was that tics don't have a very good breath because they would smell like blood and he scolded us on how Americans talk "barbarically" lol... Another guy from the class said "If you don't like it you can geeeet out." in a very southern accent and we were all laughing hysterically when the teacher walked in ensuing a very awkward silence.

These are great
