Hello Green!

Since I can't travel, I changed the colors of my blog around. Not quite the same satisfaction. But less drastic than getting a haircut. ha.

Taking the CBEST tomorrow. (California Basic Educational Skills Test).

Alright, I need to stop procrastinating by playing on my blog, and get to studying a little.

P.S. I still love purple, but green is my second favorite color.

Back on Track

I feel as though I've been incredibly lazy after my spring break excursion into San Jose. Guess I wanted my spring break to extend a bit longer.

I also blame Cutie with the Glasses for showing me this website, after finding out I share his passion of relentlessly trying to figure out the meaning of songs. ARRRRGGG!! I've looked up, like, a GAzillion songs!!!! Procrastination is indeed my middle name.

Things I have been procrastinating from, that I need to get finished/do more often:

• Working Out!!!! Must get in shape! MUST. It is sad when I run after kindergartners for all of 3 minutes and start to lose my breath. To my defense, those munchkins are fast. I have worked out the last couple days, and I want to keep it up. Nothing too rigorous, just a daily workout to make me feel more awake, alert and healthier.

• Learning Turkish. As much I yearrrrrrrnnnn to learn Turkish, this language is DIFFICULT with a capital D (and I capitalized all the letters, haha). So learning it from the Rosetta Stone is cool and all--except that it's hard to discipline myself to sit down and do it!! There is no professor to tell me to do my homework, I have to tell myself.

• Apply for more summer jobs. I loathe applications.
  

• Look into loans to go on my summer vacation to Ireland/England/France. I'm really really really hoping that I can pull this off!!! Europe is calling my name (it is always calling my name).

• Getting ready to take the CBEST and start the journey to becoming a teacher. Working with kids is indeed my calling, I've found out.
  

Yeah, those are the main things. SO I will not allow myself to be lazy...NO MORE LAZINESS!! And I will limit myself to looking up only a few songs per week (hehe).

THIS WEDNESDAY I AM GOING TO SEE DEATH CAB IN CONCERT. SO CLOSE!!! YAYYYY!

Always the Procrastinator

Oh, it's been a lovely week. I had TOO MUCH fun in San Jose with my buddy Rachel (we also went to San Fran and Santa Cruz...AWESOME). I'll post pictures of the trip soon.

What else did I do this week? I went to a line dancing bar, which was NOT EASY. What the hell? I thought line dancing was supposed to be simple! haha. I still had fun though, Cutie with the Glasses showed up and we danced together...and laughed as we realized that we both really sucked.

Overall this week has been relaxing and rejuvenating (I woke up at 10 every morning), now that's the good life!

This morning, it was back to the grind of waking up at 6am, and I made myself chocolate chip waffles as a reward for getting my butt out of bed that early.

And the reason for the title of my post...I have to still do my taxes. AHH!! I hate taxes. And I always leave them till the last possible minute. Alright, I better go do those soon...

Maybe Cameron Diaz could sell her boyfriend to me.

Today is a good day...besides the fact that I have two essays hanging over my head like a guillotine...CHOP! But I'll get them done. I always do.

On another note...Justin Timerlake is coming to San Diego for a concert in January. How I'd like to go! I just can't help but give in to his painfully sugar-pop confections!!! But you know his tickets will be over-priced...and you know that they will sell out in 2.5 seconds. Ohhhh, JT. How you tease me.

One person I ALWAYS wished I could see in concert, but never could for OBVIOUS reasons, is Marvin Gaye. Cause I love him. He's quite possibly my favorite singer.

You know, I'm rambling. I'm such a procrastinator...ah well. Cramming is what I do best.

I love fruit snacks. and good shirt sayings.

Mmmmm. I'm eating fruit snacks right now, they are so delightfully good! I used to loooove fruit roll-ups when I was a wee little girl, so I love eating fruity-snacky-type things now cause they remind me of a simpler time.

I'm not too stressed out right now. And I won't be this week. And that's cause ALL of my finals are conveniently next week...so I will be conveniently stressed out then. Cause why would I study this week when I can study everything next week, right? Sounds like a plan to me.

The other day I saw a shirt that made me laugh for a good minute. It said "Procrastinators of the world unite, tomorrow!"

hahaha. I love it.

Wasting Time (Again)

You see. Gangster and I are alike. We change our photos like it's our job. Except, Gangster uses weird/sometimes disturbing pictures of other people while I use weird/sometimes disturbing pictures of myself.

Ahhh!! I have SO MUCH to do! Why am I on Blogger?

Formula to Procrastination

taking a nap+ Watching The Notebook+ surfing the internet+ getting a burrito with my friend Jenny+ watching Mona Lisa Smile=not getting any homework/studying done what-so-ever.




I am such a huge fucking slacker sometimes.

Hey, at least I went to class today. That counts for something, right?

Comm 502 rocks my socks!!

Ok, sooooooooooooooooooooo, I thought Comm 502 (Law of Mass Communication) was going to be a boring class. But the teacher actually kicks ass. Like, he kicks major ass. And, duh, it mostly covers the 1st amendment. And OF COURSE the first amendment would be interesting to me. So I'm pretty excited for that class.

I'm also taking a Poli Sci class that covers EVERYTHING about Campaigns and Elections. Should be interesting stuff.

I had a good day overall--went shopping...er...window shopping with Rachel and we had fun just being girls.

I still don't want to see what my bill will be for books, so I haven't shopped for those yet. Procrastination is my friend :)

Anyway, that's really all that went down today. The first couple days of classes are always nice...then it gets down and dirty. So I'll enjoy this short "nothing" period while I can.

Damn the Internet!

I am supposed to writing up my profile story right about now. But what am I doing? Writing in my blog. *slaps my own wrist* BAD Ashley! BAD! I need to write in like an hour...what am I doing wasting time here?

The internet, I've decided, is like a black hole--it sucks you in (you suckers, me too) and constantly changes and amazes you, so you stay. As am I right now, when I am SUPPOSED to be doing work.

OK OK OK OK...I'll stop writing here. I NEED to stop. Seriously, I'm reaching for that button that says "Publish Post." I tell no lies. Seriously now, this is the end.

By the way, have you guys ever heard of the Free Hawaii movement? This is the first time I've ever heard of it. Maybe I'll post on that later.

Ok, that was seriously the last thing. Can't you tell when I'm being serious? i'm prying my fingers off the keyboard as we speak.

Am I ever productive?

Well, I'm sitting here listening to "All I Want for Christmas is You." Seeing as Christmas is quite a ways away, I've decided that, nope, I'm not being very productive.

I don't know when I'll ever get really serious about school. It's not that I don't try hard or even that I don't care, it's just that I feel too young to get serious about a career. So, here I am, halfway through college, not knowing where I wanna go in life. But what do they want from me? I'm only 19 years old!!! Not 30, not experienced in any other field besides being a cashier, not completely mature and NOT READY TO PICK WHAT I WANT TO DO FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!!

I know that that's a little drastic considering at any point in my life I can switch my career to whatever I want. It's not like my decision now will be set in stone or burnt into my arm (just say no to branding!). I just don't like being so undecided and uncertain about something so important. It's like losing all control. No human being can stand that.

The problem is that i'm WAY too over-analytical. I need to just slap my hand and stop it and take a breath and sit back and relaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax. whew! I guess we never know what tomorrow will bring, and it scares me to the very bone. But in a way, it also makes things exciting. Life is a bitch sometimes.
