This is my last full week of classes.
WAIT WHAT???
I know, it's pretty crazy.
Anyway, sorry this is late, to blogging!
5 Best Things This Week
1) I went from 2 hours of Membership to 7.5 hours this week
2) A+ on my second reworked blog!
3) I went to see Twelfth Night :]
4) I got to watch Waiting for Superman in School and Society this week
5) My computer got fixed!!
5 Worst Things This Week:
1) My Spanish test was really hard :/
2) I am trying desperately to get hours in for School and Society and APO :[
3) I've been either spastic or moody most of this week
4) I ended up not going on the field trip Thursday for my religion class
5) There was no Boys and Girls Club this week
Most Embarrassing Moment This Week:
Hm. To narrow it down...yeah, not possible. Just, you know, me.
Words of Wisdom:
If you have things with hour requirements--whether that be for service, study hours, etc.--try to spread them out. Nothing makes the end of a term more stressful than trying desperately to complete hours for things. So...SPREAD IT OUT!
3 Most Essential Items This Week:
1) Computer disks and a flashdrive. Back up important documents and bring all computer disks (software and fixer upper disks).
2) Medicine. I've said it before, but bring medicine, you never know when you will get sick.
3) I'm tired of this term guys. I don't know. Bring lots of cozy blankets for the "UGH, WORLD" naps you're gonna take.
Most Interesting Discovery This Week:
Academic: Muslims have a book of Law called the Hadith, which is similar to the Halakah of Judaism.
Social: Twelfth Night is a funny play Mr. Shakespeare :D
Best Food Item in the Caf:
Toasted and buttered bagels from the Gizmo, our burger place
My Weekend:
Friday I had an APO dinner, I went to the play Twelfth Night with APO, and then I went to the APO Membership event. A very APO night :] Saturday I slept in, then went to lunch, then took a nap, then did some hw, then went to dinner, and then I ushered for Twelfth Night. Sunday I did laundry, ate lunch, skyped with Jenny and Chris, did hw, went to dinner, did more hw (sorta....lol), and then went to APO chapter!
Another week! Next weekend is my LAST weekly roundup of WINTER TERM!!
Much Love,
Celinda

Weekly Roundup 6
I have two weeks and two days left before finals. Wut.
Anyway, blogging time!
5 Best Things This Week:
1) My Spanish professor encouraged me to stay in Spanish and travel abroad, because she thinks I am doing really well this term!
2) I had one of those amazing, "everyone is deep and thoughtful" groups in School and Society Friday :D
3) All my immediate family came to visit me!
4) My mustache necklace came this week
5) I got to talk to Lisa Micele!
5 Worst Things This Week:
1) My computer got a hugeee virus, rendering it unusable until I wipe the Operating System completely :[
2) I am super behind in Membership hours for APO, which is kinda panic-inducing
3) I was super tired and moody Friday night
4) I feel like I never sleep ever
5) A kinda sucky Valentine's Day :/
Most Embarrassing Moment This Week:
LOL. So I was trying to call Lisa on Thursday, as I was leaving the Caf. Now, a thing about me, I tend to wander about when I am on the phone. So, I was looking down at my phone, messing with it, not aware that I had wandered to the middle of the grassy part of the quads in front of the giant window of the Caf. Not even on the phone, but looking down at the phone. Not even on the sidewalk, but on the grassy field. While I am looking like a fool, this guy I kinda like and his entire suite walk by, looking at me like "WTF?". Needless to say, not one of my best moments.
Words of Wisdom:
Sleep. You need to know when to quit and go to bed. You might be having fun, you might be trying to have fun, you might have a ton of homework, you might be stressed. But all of those things will be affected if you don't stop yourself and get some sleep in you. I was asleep by 11 last night. On a Saturday. Make fun all you want, but I was tired and I need to recharge. Your body isn't meant for you to beat it up. Go. To. Sleep. If you need a reminder, here ya go lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CseO1XRYs9I
3 Most Essential Items This Week:
1) Gum! It can help with focus, breath smell control, and apparently for me, keeping me awake so I finish my School and Society reading
2) A Computer Nerd. And I say that with the utmost respect, reverence, and awe for people who have the ability to fiddle with computers. As an add-on, bring all your CDs that come with your computer to school
3) Absurd, uselessinthegrandschemeofitall Items. Like a mustache necklace. Seriously guys, this is the coolest thing I have bought.
Most Interesting Discovery This Week:
Academic: I now know what Charter Schools actually are! They're like a public/private school love child :D
Social: Go to performances on campus! Comedy shows, theater performances, concerts. It's fun to engage your mind and have a blast.
Best Food Item in the Caf:
Hash browns. I went back for seconds. I really want more. Hash browns. So much in those two words :D
My Weekend:
Okay, I am getting typer's cramp again, so here it is in bullet form!
Friday:
-Walmart run

Weekly Roundup 5????
Well shoot everyone. WHITNEY HOUSTON DIED :'[
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9nPf7w7pDI
And...we move on.
5 Best Things This Week:
1) Went to this AMAZING education talk
2) Boys and Girls Club was fun this week
3) I went out this weekend, and I.Looked.Good.
4) School and Society was canceled on Friday
5) I got a package AND a letter Friday
5 Worst Things This Week:
1) I had a headache all Monday, which made me pissy
2) I barely slept this week because I would stay up talking
3) I continue to be awkward around a few boys to the point that it is pissing me off
4) I had two writing assignments this weekend
5) I didn't get to eat dinner in the cafeteria Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday...
Most Embarrassing Moment This Week:
Can I just nominate my life? Just kidding...um...probably today when I had really long awkward eye contact with a guy known to me as Tiramisu guy....
Words of Wisdom:
In college, and in life, you will have to make choices. The worst part is, the choices won't be black and white, clearly good or bad choices but rather gray area choices. Choices that have pros and cons, good AND bad to them. For example, last night, I was trying to decide if I would go out, or if I would stay home and study/sleep. Both had good parts and bad parts. Remember, there really isn't a wrong choice. It's more about which you will regret not choosing. A good way to figure out what you really want to do is flip a coin. As the coin is spinning, you will know what you want it to land on, and you will know your answer :]
3 Most Essential Items This Week:
1) Loose cash. I had to buy little items that were only a couple of dollars, and it helped that I had cash money in my wallet, instead of JUST my debit card (I still believe a debit card is essential though).
2) A calendar of sorts. I put things in my phone and put alarms to them. Life can be just so busy, especially with the weird college schedules, that having a calendar will save you a headache.
3) A cute item in every color. Sorry this is less on topic for you guys, but for REALZ. I don't own any cute pink items (probably because I hate pink), but I needed to wear pink on Saturday night for a party. Life is so difficult....
Most Interesting Discovery This Week:
Academic: The Catholic church went through some reform--known as Vatican II--in the 1960s in order to keep up with modern developments.
Social: Sigma Nu is where it's at :D
Best Food Item in the Caf:
Nom nom nom nom fiesta tortilla chicken soup
My Weekend:
Party all day, everyday :D Friday night, we went to the Anti-Valentines Day Dance which was for Post girls and Seymour guys (both single gender dorms). Well, imagine a Uni dance, and imagine it is not the Howdy Hop, Homecoming, Winter Formal, or Prom. If you can guess, we left pretty soon. We went and played Just Dance (seriously guys, I'm getting really good at that game). Afterward, we went to Sigma Nu's party, which was super fun. ALSO, did I mention I was wearing the hottest little red dress? Friday night was my night :]
Saturday I woke up at the ungodly hour of 9 AM, after going to bed at 3 AM...anyway, I went and volunteered at Galesburg's Chocolate Festival (Imagine a buffet of everything chocolate. Now, you know my reality :D). After that, I did a bit of hw. After dinner, I went over to my friend's dorm, got ready, and went to her Music Sorority's Awkward Prom, which was crazy fun (I got to dance awkwardly :D). THEN, my friends and I decided to go to not one, but TWO frat parties. I know, we're crazy. We went to TKE, which had a cool theme--they were raising money for Breast Cancer, so they were TKE Pink. We were there for a while, but this girl was harassing my friend and I, trying to get us to dance with these two guys, and we also wanted to check out Sigma Chi's party, so we left (but, TKE was fun, don't get me wrong). Anyway, Sigma Chi's party was pretty fun too, but there were drunk girls yelling at the top of their lungs so that no one could hear the music :P. Around 1, we went back to the suite, got in pjs, and giggled/talked as us girls sometimes do.
Today was hw/laundry day, nothing too exciting. I am going to chapter tonight for APO though, and it'll be fun because the pledges are going to get their Bigs! :]

Weekly Roundup 4: We're Halfway Thereeeeee....
Yo my CU peoples!
Sorry I didn't write the blog yesterday, I was too busy watching the GIANTS DOMINATE THE PATRIOTS Y'ALL :D
And, now the blog.
5 Best Things This Week:
1) I got an A on my Spanish Test
2) I donated blood
3) I went to a very fun birthday party!
4) I have a really fun project idea for my School and Society class
5) SUUUUUPER BOWL :D
5 Worst Things This Week:
1) I fainted AFTER giving blood
2) I'm pretty broke until this Friday
3) Still not talking as much in my classes
4) I've been super busy for like 2 weeks now
5) I've spent a TON of my dining dollars
Most Embarrassing Moment This Week:
Alright, on Friday going through Saturday, I had a lot of sugar/caffeine. So, at dinner Saturday, I was super revved up and overly energetic in the Caf. Add in two guys that I kinda, sorta like, and I was a basket of nerves. So, the whole meal I was just psychotic and on edge.
Words of Wisdom:
If you beat yourself up or are prone to panicking, or just can be an excitable person, then you probably have heard OVER AND OVER people telling you to calm down. I can't even count how many times I have heard people say "Dude, calm down" or "It's not a big deal" or "It's just..." or wanting to give me advice on how to make my seemingly big issue a non-issue. Okay, I get it everyone. I UNDERSTAND that sometimes I panic more than I need to. But it's just who I am. Also, if I am just being bubbly and exciting, nothing deflates my happiness faster than someone telling me "Dude, calm down, it's not a big deal". I guess I just wanted to complain. I suppose my words of wisdom is if someone tells you to chill, take three deep breaths before saying "Don't worry, I just need my moment". Because you know what? You might just need a moment and that is perfectly OKAY.
3 Most Essential Items This Week:
1) Water. Passing out is not fun. Drink plenty of water (and juice/Gatorade) before and after anything that is strenuous to your body, whether that be dance, a blood donation, a meet, a game, or a marathon.
2) A Good Advising Relationship. I went to go talk to my adviser. It was really nice because I was able to actually talk out some of my academic plans with him, and I was able to make the decision to drop Education Studies from a major to a minor. I will be doing a blog soon about majors, minors, academic planning, and the truth of change.
3) Chips and Dip. Hey, it was Super Bowl Sunday after all :D
Most Interesting Discovery This Week:
Academic: Some states are trying to opt out of NCLB or at least change some requirements. Some of the states are doing it because of cheating scandals :O
Social: I might never get tired of Johnny Depp being a pirate. He's so damn funny :D
Best Food in the Caf:
I discovered the panini maker this week. Simultaneously, I discovered the basil pesto spread. My life will never be the same again.
My Weekend:
This was seriously one of the best weekends I have had in college. Friday night I began the first part of my project and went to sleep early. Slept in on Saturday. Went to lunch where there was a guy dressed up as a groundhog for Groundhog's Day (I fell in love). After getting a cup of "dirt" with gummy worms, I went shopping in town! Saturday night I went to a super fun birthday party, complete with Apples to Apples and Pirates of the Caribbean. Sunday, I did laundry, worked out, finished homework, WATCHED THE SUPER BOWL, and went to a fun APO meeting! Phewww, busy busy!!
Good Night and Good Luck,
