Ugh, life has been uber stressful as of late and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, just more stuff gets piled on. The problem is, a lot of it is stuff that I have no real control over and my actions only do a minimal amount to help.
But on the good side, I've found a job lead, I hope at least, I don't want to jinx myself tho- so for now I'm not going to say anything about it. But it will start with a paid internship, if I get it and will hopefully progress. Another good thing is that the job will require no further schooling on my part unless I choose to later on, I probably will continue but it really isn't an option for me in the immediate future. So for now I'm just going to focus on graduating from this part and if graduate school comes along later it will. The no more school thing means I will not have to move out of state and so can stay and help my parents.
Other than that, classes have been going okay, just as frustrated as I ever am with my Psychology course and am almost done with my internship at the CJC- I've only got about 20 more hours left to do, and to write two papers for it. Next semester should be easy as pie, and then it's just May Term which I hope to find a good class for, only one tho as I hope to have a job by then.
Also, I will be 23 on Sat. I have made no plans actually, I think I'm supposed to go to Nightmare on Friday, but other than that I haven't made any plans.  

Pontypool
Wow, I don't know what to say about this movie. It is... trippy. Very good, claustrophobic movie. You never actually see much. It's like the reverse of the original War of the Worlds- the old radio play, not the movies- that it's the people in the radio are getting the news as it's happening O.o
The idea is very good, similar to Stephen King's Cell in a way, but different. It's something I want to see again for sure, there was a lot to take in! I don't think I want to say more, because I might give something away, but check it out, you're in for an experience certainly.

Happy Halloween all! More to come probably tomorrow on the further adventures Phillip has had this past Halloween ;)

So, finally, now that it is less than a week before the date, Halloween has started to pick up. We are planning on going to Nightmare on 13th on Weds after my class and then Thursday we are supposed to go to Thriller. Boo yeah!
Oh, and now the movie stations are starting to show scary movies, they waited long enough! and there was a Psych Halloween episode marathon last night which I recordededededed.
Other than that, midterms attacked with a vengance! A true vengance I tell you! and they won't be done until November 2. I also had to register for my last semester of classes today- but because I'm registering two thesiseseses I couldn't finish registering because for both of them I need "advisor approval". Not that I didn't just speak with them and turn in my graduation application a few weeks ago- and I'm already registered in one of them!!!! >.< School, you drive me crazy!
So this is what my schedule looks like for next semester: Pottery. That is all that I am currently registered for.
Note to self: On weds talk with Justice advisor about switching Justice 220 from Community Psych to Philosophy of Race. Community Psych is during your Psych thesis and you can't do two classes at once... unless you are Hermoine Granger. Which you are not.

Title: Study Session

A/N: I attempted to put a beginning and end on this one that is similar to what they do in the show. Let me know if it worked or not! Also, I am not sure how many of these I will be able to finish this year. I'm hoping to still get all 31 in, but real life has kinda smashed me with a hammer full of homework, midterms and stress. So I'm still optimistic, but more unsure about finishing before Halloween, they might get finished in November.

So, after work today Terrence and I finally got around to putting up some of the Halloween decorations. Better late than never I guess.
Is it just us or does Halloween seem... late? unnoticed?... this year? I mean, there has hardly been any scary movies on tv (we've seen everything Fearnet has to offer) and no one seems to be in the mood for it this year. It puts a damper on my Halloween loving nature I tell you!
We did manage to catch one great Halloweenish movie. It was called Highway to Hell and stared Chad Lowe and was made in the good old state of Utah (can't get a better place for scenic Hell, lemme tell ya) It was like watching the PeeWee movie only... evil.... it's really cheesy and there's lots of references to other things in it. It's also a retelling of the Euripidese myth and tells the tale of a man whose girlfriend is taken to Hell prematurely by the "Hell Cop" (which is a great terminator type guy) and the boyfriend has to go save her.
Unfortunately, this movie is not available on dvd D: 

Wow, am I going to have to get a move on with these or what? I'm only behind by 9 or so I guess :p

So- I know I said a while ago that I was going to be doing more HAlloween drabbles this year and I finally got around to starting them. Now that my MS Word spontaneously decided to start working again. I don't know, maybe it just needed a vacation or something. I know I do. It was a complete accident that I figured out it was working again too. I forgot that I was on my laptop and tried to open one of my syllabie (syllubuseseses?) which would open in MS Word and it worked -_-

Edit: I might have completely spoken too soon about MS Word... well, it was a good three days while it lasted....

O.o What do you mean snow tomorrow weatherman? It was 85 today! 85!

I made a comment to Terrence about Nutter Butters... now I don't think I can ever eat one again without laughing XD
Also, I have applied to graduate!!! YAY!!! So close to be done!

Wow, talk about a long week and it's only Tuesday! Yesterday I had class and work from 8 AM to 8 PM and then I got home and had to run and pick up my house key from a friend, which meant that I didn't get home until 9:30 which in turn meant I had no food until about 10:00 pm. Then today I get sent home from the internship early because they don't have anything to do today and I walk through the door to find out that my dad is in the hospital due to "his leg bursting". They are doing tests but don't know what is wrong. He just went to the doctor yesterday and they didn't notice anything wrong.

There are times when life just has to bitch slap you for daring to get out of bed with a good attitude.

Camping again this weekend ^_^ YAY. It's a good weekend, camping after SPN :P Hooray!

My intention was to be posting more, not waiting longer between posts! Guh, just been busy I guess :P Between CJC (which is awesome) and school I haven't had much time this weekend. Lessee, it was my dad's b-day and my aunt's as well, so we went out to dinner for them (we got my aunt to watch The Changeling, not the new one, the original with George C. Scott... the better one ;) ) and then my granparents wanted to do a labor day bbq the day after, so we did. I was also forced into getting a hair cut, but nothing as drastic as the last one, just choppy layers. It worked out well that I hadn't re-dyed my hair either as now it looks like I intentionally did my tips red and looks kinda like a reverse foxtail sorta thing.
Other than that I did homeworkhomeworkhomework. I had two chapters to read for theater, a research article to summarize and to read the 72 page Supreme Court opinion on Miranda v Arizona which I was then expected to brief in 2 pages. As it looks I am going to be over, I will enter onto the third page. I don't think that's bad for my first attempt ever, the Prof said it should take about 4 of them before you really get the hang of doing case briefs. All this writing homework has been kinda difficult to work out as well just due to the fact that my computer at Microsoft Word, I wasn't aware that writing programs have a word limit, but apparently they do and I used mine up.
I've also worked out some more Halloween themes (it's never too early for Halloween) but these ones aren't for Supernatural this year, I'm gonna try a different show this time around. I hope to start those soon, early, so that I am not trying to squeeze them in during October (note the failure of trying Supernatural Christmas themes without having them pre-written, finals and fanfiction just don't mix). They won't be posted until then, but I am hoping to write them earlier.
Other than that, I'm going camping again this weekend ^_^ YAY and I seem to be going backwards in tv viewing history, I watch more shows that were on air when I was all of 4 or 5 than I do shows that are currently on, does this make me weird? But the early 90's stuff means that I don't have to think about it, they are so much simpler!

Ha ha, so, it's been a while :P
I got back from camping on Monday, started my internship on Tuesday and then began school on Wednesday. I've been busy!
I love my internship, but can't really say much about it because I work with minors. All I can really say is that it's at the Children's Justice Center which is a place where children who have been abused are interviewed so that they are not re-traumatised by being drug to a police station or something and so that they only have to re-tell their stories once because all of the interviews are recorded. Class seems like it should be fun... one can hope ;) All I know is that I've only had one class and am already swamped with homework. Christmas break can't come fast enough!
Also, my nostalgia goggles have been securely glued to my face and I have been trying to find shows I used to watch when I was little online and re-watch parts of them. I am lame in this way, yes.

WHOOO! I'll be camping from Thursday night until Monday afternoon. So until then! Chow peeps!

(guh it went all blurry, but the pic says gone here, be back Monday, click for a better view)

So, Terrence, the family and I spent the day in Park City. It twas fun, just a farmers market type thingie, but large and with more arts and less vegetables. I got some great pictures of the old buildings they have up there, they kept the Victorean/Western style to all their buildings so the town has a very antique feeling to it. We stopped at Bridal Veil Falls on the way back to town and I also got some great shots of the falls and the burned out restaurant that is perched on top of the mountain. Too bad that it burned, the only way you used to be able to get to it was by taking a tram thing up the mountain to get to it.
Also, this time next week I'll be back up in the mountains for a nifty spiffy camping trip! Hooray! and then on Tuesday I get to start my internship.
