School's almost over, and I'm procrastinating

I don't want to read for my witchcraft class, but I should. I don't want to study for my Global Change class, but I should. I kinda just want to go work on metals and get everything done, but I can't until I'm done reading. What a predicament. Well, I decided that I was going to write on my blog, to procrastinate. I leave in less than a month for Ireland, actually in like 3 weeks. It's coming up so fast and I don't know what to do with myself. I really need to find someone to live in my apartment before I leave because otherwise I won't be able to do anything while I'm there, because I'll be paying to live in Michigan when I am clearly not in Michigan. So far I think that's my biggest worry. I think I'm going to get really homesick for a while but then realize that this experience is going to be the best of my life. I can't believe that I am doing this. It's so out of character for me, but I think that it will be so good for my mentality. I think that only 15 other people are going to be at the school in Ireland when I'm there, which is a lot different from the 39,000 people I go to school with now. The village only has 300 people in it and I am so excited to get away from all of the drama, mess and industrialization of America. I hope that I pick up an accent while I'm there too because Irish accents are always good. Yeah, so, I should definitly get back to reading so that I can go up to the art school to work on my metals stuffs, but I really don't want to.

OMG Ireland

So, I'm totally stoked to go to Ireland. I leave for the school on January 4th 2007. It's getting closer and closer, and I keep getting more and more excited. WOOO. Here's the website of the school that I'm going to...

It's crazy beautiful.




That's the college. I am so excited to be able to go to a place as beautiful as that. Here are some pictures of where I will be living when I'm there...





OH I can't tell you how excited I am. Well that's probably the last post until I get to Ireland or at least a little closer timewise. (It's the only reason I started a blog to be perfectly honest) PEACE!

School all too soon...well maybe not

School officially started yesterday. Kinda sucks, but I'm glad to be working on stuff I like again. Really excited that everyone is back and Ann Arbor is alive finally, summer really was boring. I'm watching project runway as we speak, and am realizing that Rebbekah's class is going to feel like this. OMG! So cool, but also so much work. I'm going to be able to make my own clothing (weird as it may be) and my own jewlery (from Anne's metal class) SO EXCITED! I need to start working hard...hard hard hard. Good god I should probably start now.

Oh I forgot, the show

I totally forgot about the Funambulist show. The set up, the whole thing, was mostly stress. I don't know how proud of it I am, but I think that it went well. Probably could have been better, but not just with the lack of Funambulist strength in the area. That stress is gone, so I feel better now. I can't believe I forgot about that in my summer recap. Woops!

Summer of blah, but kinda cool.

So, I don't think I've done enough this summer, but I also think that if I had done anymore, I may have gone crazy. Started out with spring classes that lasted until June 23. Since then I've been trying to take it easy. Around the beginning of June I went to Marquette to visit family and a friend. It was great, because I didn't even take a book, nothing, just myself. I sat outside a lot, didn't to anything but every now and again would ride around in my uncle's convertable. On the last night I stayed with a friend that I haven't really seen in a long time, we had a lot of fun. At the beginning of July I went to Toronto with a bunch of friends and the fabulous Nick Tobier to be a part of WADE, an art festival held in a bunch of the wading pools in the parks scattered throughout the city. Basically we got to play in pools with all our clothes on, got free food, free room, free transportation and got paid for the weekend. It was definitly an experience. I think it convinced me to live in Toronto at some point in my life. The city's great, if you get the chance, go because it's the greatest. I loved just being able to walk around the city with nothing to do but look. The people were cool too. So since then, I haven't done much. Hung out with a few people, worked mostly. Bought some stuff. Yesterday I moved back home for a few weeks between leases. Quite a bit of my stuff is still in the apartment. It feels odd to be at home after almost a year on my own. Also my mattress here sucks and my back hurts. Yesterday I bought a new phone, it's the chocolate phone and really cool. Gadgets are fun, and that's my latest news. My birthday is coming up in about a week and I hope to have a bonfire. At least then I'll feel like I did something outdoorsy this summer. I'm only kind of looking forward to school starting, the classes will be cool, but the work will be hell. Friends will be awesome, I've had a definite lack of social life this summer and looking forward to that aspect of school.

Blogs aren't really my strong suit, but I'll try to keep up with this one.
