Summary of like the last month here at Wichita State

Dorm living: It goes you know. It ain't as bad as it was downstairs but it still is kinda sucky. The food in the caf is okay. I am especially in love with biscuits and gravy (which is actually what I am going to go get when I am done with this entry). My floor/suitemate prolly thinks I am insane b/c I blast Rent/Avenue Q (everyone's a bit racist)/Spamalot/Producers (Springtime for Hitler). It is great, I guess. Yay for ghetto Tony Award winners of the last 40 years.

German: It should be against the law to have a class EVERYDAY. It is really tiring and you just quit wanting to learn, you know. We've had a couple tests since I last talk to you, that was fun, I guess. We still haven't got the last one back and that is ANNOYING.

Theatre: I don't know. I am getting into the swing of it. Woodworking really isn't my thing unless it is like DETAIL work. I like working with little areas. Tuesday lab, I used a wrench and took out nuts and fighted with casters but then we realized the person who did was dumb and that he had to fix his own mistake, so we put everything back on for him to fix later.

Criminal Justice: Ugh, I don't know that class has great knowledge but b/c it is a gen ed class it has a bunch of IDIOTS that make my brain hurt. I am thinking about taking some of my other gen ed requirements online. I wish the transfer credits whould get smart and stuff that transferred b4 would transfer now. Damn, JCCC.

Random: The Rolling Stones concert is tomorrow. That should be fun. Campus is turned upside down b/c of it. Like 5000 of our parking spots are blocked off for the equipment and the lazy ass bums who are too fucking lazy to walk our complaining a storm up over it. Shut the fuck up, a little walking isn't going to hurt ya, hell, it would help b/c most of you are fat asses anyway. Did you know that it takes 15 mins to get to the center of campus and really any building if you walk? How long does it take when you drive? Ya, that is what I thought.

Another thing that really bothers me are people who go out to do their laundry. Unless you know a place to do it free you are wasting money. There is gas that goes in that price you know and if you use ur Shocker card it is 10 cents cheaper. Figure it out. Garr. Idiots.

I can't wait to go home. I really want to go home this weekend but I could b/c people are mean. I think I have to wait until like the 13, but it is a 4 day weekend thing. I wish my rents came out this weekend. There is still time, you know.

Summary of this week in COLLEGE

Dorm life: The food has been ok. The grilled egg plant with marina sauce was good. So was whatever was the international dish the other day. My new suitemate keeps to herself, except she always leaves the door open, which is kinda annoying when I want to shower. The people on this floor or so much nicer and just more welcoming. It is pretty great. One annoying this is my sink is clogged (doing the dishes is a bitch) and my shower head points to far so you get more water on the floor then the on you. I dislike the puddle on the when I walk into the bathroom after the suitemate showers. OH, OH, OH!!!! I can get into my mailbox. I got my new mail box combo today and guess what it works..I got it open on the first try ::jumps up and down::

Theatre: Um, it goes. I "skipped" lab the other day b/c I wasn't feeling good. We had a test Thursday, it was pretty easy. I uberly overstudied, I hate when I do that. I wish we would do some like scenic artistry items, I love paint and I haven't done it in a while and I am kinda on a withdrawel.

Criminal Justice: People ask too many questions and you know that most of them are out of personal what-ifs and all that jazz. People just need to learn that the criminal law is largly based on the perception of the jury and not the perception of the people. Be the jury!! I love how most people are going to fail the test which is coming up in like 10 days.

German: Hmm. That class is pretty fun, I just wish we didn't have it EVERYDAY. We had a test today, it was pretty easy except for part E or F. There were too many blanks and not enough information. I just ended up placing thngs in there randomly.

Random: I left my drink cup thingy in the RSC. I am really ticked off at myself. It might be there tomorrow, but who knows. Tomorrow I need to go wonder around and take pictures for my scrapbook thingy. I am excited. My kodak printer is broken. I have no clue what is wrong with it. I just doesn't take up the paper or something. It is annoying.

Personal: I am missing my friends. I think it would awsome to go down to K-State to hang out with them. If I drove and had a place to stay, I would most likely do that. I am also really homesick and wishing I was going home this weekend. I love being here, but the weekends are meant for chilling with people to kinda wash away the harshness of the "work" week.

Song lyrics for the day:

"I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems like I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes till you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one I loved T
he one thing that I tried to hold on to" Goodbye to You ~Michelle Branch~

The funny thing is, it isnt funny

So the idiots from the 4th floor decided it would be funny to come to my new room and hang the quiet hours sign on my door. They also left caution tape on the door also. Then they thought it would be FUNNY to knock on my door and run off. They did this laughing. Like I wouldn't figured it out. So I returned the sign to Taylor and told them about it. The next time they anything the campus police are going to get a loverly visit, and they are going to get a loverly visit from the campus police. That is harassment. They are doing there best to make my life a living hell. Really, I should just go and do it any way. It is outragous.
One of these days they will grow up and when that day comes, I hope they are too old.

I am sick of the college party mentality

I have been in college for like 3 weeks and already I am ready to get out. This party mentality that seems to be instilled into the college brain is outragous. Nobody should stay up till 3 in the fucking morning making as much loud as possible so the ones TRYING to sleep can't.

Right now I am dealing with the issue in a ghandi sort of way..well, not really, but more of just...idk...I posted a sign on my door that lists what time quiet hours are and what quiet hours constitutes.

I am excited to hear the response to the sign tomorrow. I am hoping they tear it down or write bitch or something on it...b/c well, that would make my day.

I am sorry, that I am the only one on this floor who learned manors. Actually, I am not!

And yes, call me a bitch if you want. I want to have fun just as much as the next person but more in a humane manor.

I mean sure I will drink, but in a social sort of way. I guess you could call what they do social drinking, but when social drinking crosses the line of I just want to get pissed, it isn't the same. Ya, I will admit that the rush of alchohol to your brain does have a nice numbing feeling (remember all my drinking I have done legally) but I could never see myself get pissed drunk. I think in my life I will only get pissed drunk ONCE and that is on my 21st birthday. I am going to do it in my own home on my own time. Hell, I will prolly even do it with my parents (mainly b/c I would have to wait until after finals and such).

I guess I was taught in a world of "mass decision making" to think for myself. It seems a lot of us, missed that lesson. Maybe it was the depression I went through through most of my childhood. Maybe my parents really did know what they were doing. or MAYBE my IQ is higher then the rest of the people on my floor..or I just use it in the right manor.

I think their mommies and daddies should quit paying for the college education, then they will learn just how lucky they are to be here. My parents are paying for mine..and I know how much they are struggling.

Maybe it is my trip to Russia that taught me how forunate I am to have such oportunities to better myself

Maybe we will never know.

But I should go try to get in like 3 hours of sleep. I don't even know why I should even TRY to sleep tonight. I am just sooooo annoyed with them, I am not even sure I could.

What is this feeling, so sudden and new......LOATHING

Yes, I am singing a song from "Wicked" why b/c that is what comes ot my mind when I am around my hallmates...that song...it just perminates through my brain.

Oh, remember how I used to say, "My IQ hurts" well, I didn't really know how your IQ hurting really hurt until now.

I just hurts my brain..this is kinda funny, the song that accubroadway is from Avenue Q called "I wish I could go back to college"...it is talking about how college tells who you are..it is cracking me up.

Someone dosed the room hall with some sort of spray..if I die sometime it is b/c someone put me in an ashmatic coma.

Hmm..I have been thinking about him again..well, according to my mp3 player I have in the span of 20 mins it played a bunch of songs that are like I miss you and stuff like that.

I haven't quite figured out why but they thinking DOSING the hall with a perfume or something is fun..it isnt...it is giving me an ashmatic attack. Right now it is a mixture of really flowerly perfume and a really strong manly scent...I dont like it...i hate it.

Well, I am going to try not to pass out

Some relationships I feel I need to comment on

Relationship A: That girl is not good enough for you. You are a smart boy, dump her. I can tell just how annoyed she makes. Yeah, I play nice, BUT don't waste your time. This has been going on to long.

Relationship B: OR actually I guess it is the lack there of. You need to grow up and get your head out of your ass. I could go on but I don't have a lot of time b/c I have to go to class soon, but ya.

Relationship C: No really comments here, they are just kinda chilling.

Relationship D: Hmm, it is good to be apart, it helps with the togetherness.

My Rent

I think I am going to put on my own version of Rent.
I would play Maureen and be Scenic Artist Head
Caitlin would be Scenic Design head.
Rachel, Christine and Katy would all be under the Scenic program.
Allyssa B would play Mimi
I don't know who would play my love interest, Joanne.
Mark would have to be played by an ex boyfriend of mine
Roger would be Derek
Angel, Dan C.
Benny, if idk, someone I don't particulary like but once did
Am I forgeting anybody?

Well, La Vie Boheme is my motto. I am eventually going to print a banner to hang in my room that just says "La Vie Boheme" in really big letters.

I am really excited..this is a good music to just chill with. Avenue Q is a music if I want to just forget life.

Hahaha, people are funny

So this guy called me a bitch b/c I dont want to jump in and out of boxes. It is all good, yep yep. I happen to like being a loner. And it isnt like I dont get out, I just do it in a more fashionable way. I would much prefer looking back on my death bed and say hey, I did a little something with those ransom notes or I just saved so many people from fraudulant charges. Hahaha, well, it is all good, yep yep.

Dumbness of College Kids/Jerryrigging

So the more and more I spend in the great Fairmont Towers Dorm at Wichita State, the more and more I realize that the general person who goes to college is dumb. So, this rant could just be from annoyance b/c I can't sleep or study without the dumb heads acting like kindergardeners. I peeked my head out last night about midnight and they were jumping in and out of box like it is the most entertaining thing to do. I told them to be quiet and this one chick was like, "It's not like we are the honors floor" I just wanted to say, I can tell. I prolly have the highest IQ on this floor, and I have a pretty normal IQ.
I have heard rumors that people want to do a slip and slide down the hall. Oh ya, if I hear the bounce of a big purple ball one more time, Mr. Fork is going to be shoved into the plastic. I don't care if that makes me the resident bitch or gets me sent to the Coun. for Fairmont Towers or whatever the fuck the name is. I will have trumped over the idiots that reside my halls.
I don't want to live in Dorms next year but I might just stay on and become a CA, and I am going to be the toughest CA known to man. 10pm is the quiet hours for school nights and at 10 pm, there will be no peep from my hallway. Friday and Saturday you have until midnight, if you are loud after that...expect some consquiences (whatever they may be). Gah, I dont have class for like another hour or so. I should go and attempt to finish my theatre reading. I only got halfway through it b4 the fuckheads got really, really loud.
So ya
Hmm,
I guess that is all really.
Katrina

Edit 1:30
My gradfather would be proud. I just jerryrigged my toilet to flush by using a paperclip to lift up the thingy. Yay...so excited. I want to tell the whole world. But I must finish reading chapter 4 in Technical Theatre and Production.

Hmmm

Just I gone through all my classes. I think it is funny out of the 50 people taking Criminal Justice Intro only like 5 of them or ACTUALLy criminal justice majors. Lol, I included. Well, I really should be doing my reading for Stagecraft. It is basically the set up of early theatres and then teh set up of stuff, you know. Lol.
Hmm, I need some water. Yep yep. I guess that is all really.
Katrina

Grr, on my CA

Trying to get ahold of my bloody ca is like trying to get a starving dog to not eat the fresh meat sitting in front of him. It is bloody impossible. So of course b/c it is Friday, nobody is going to be here til later this evening (including him, it sounds like) I will have to wait till tomorrow. Gah, I might as well go to the information desk and say, I bloody tried...gah, gah,, gah!!!!
I havent been getting enough water. I just filled up my water and now I need to fill up another bottle to put in the freezer so it will be cold, yep yep.
Katrina

A little while after I wrote this article I finally got a hold of my CA and got the htingy, so yes, gah, blah, I swear the only reason why he took the CA position was to get a cozy free dorm room and to meet girls. Gah, and obviously I dont meet his taste b/c he looked quite pissed that I was standing there wanted to talk to him, but you know, whatever, guys are dumb, I dont care, I want to go to bed but Brandon is supposed to call me back but hasnt..oh well

First day of college classes

So today is my first day for college classes and I am a little freaking out, but hey, my first class is stagecraft which you know has to be good, I guess. Lol, well, in honor for the rest of my friends that have not started classes yet, here is the 10 things I learned (so far) about dorm and college life.

1) If you want sanity stick to the quiet floor or honors floor. Any where else will be full of a bunch of guys that will be up at 2 in the morning shouting down the hall about how many times they have had sex.
2)Wireless headphones are beneficial to hearing your tv at most times of the day.
3) Dorm food isnt the best but it isn't the worst.
4) Going to the bookstore the day b4 school starts is dumb b/c you spend 30-45 mins standing in line to pay.
5) Even during quiet hours you have dreams (well, I think it was a dream) that they guys in your hall are being really, really loud.
6) Elevator talk is very awkard.
7) Getting to campass takes forever, getting around campas takes no time at all.
8) The bathroom walls are paper thin, you can hear everything that is going on (for ones who use suite bathrooms)
9) College computer desks in dorm rooms were not meant for short people.
9.5) Hell, college wasn't made for short people
10) The 21st and hillside light is the devil. You have to wish your soul away everytime you want to bloody cross it.

Dorm Living

So, so far it hasnt been to bad here. Just kinda chilling and spending time in my room watching telly and such. I should pop in a CSI or something. B/c I am weird I watch telly with headphones b/c it is the only way to do it succesfully.Hmm, Well, I guess that is really all except breakfast was pretty good, it was edible which is nice. Well, I just had a donut and an apple. Tomorrow I might have belgiun waffles, yum yum. Lunch was good, I ate with Alex. I had chicken wings. Since they only sell pepsi products here so it is a pain to get pop. Oh well, hot tea and fruit punch will do, I guess. Dinner was pretty good, I had a salad and a to die for brownie. I am kinda hungry now, i need to eat more but dont really have a lot to eat on me. I guess, I could finish my dinner from yesterday, ya, I will do that. Later kids.

Hey, from Wichita

Hmm, what is up here, I guess I am ok. It is going to be kinda hard to be here all by myself, but I think I will survive, I really really do. Having my own room rocks even more, but it will be kinda lonely.
Hmm, I really need to go talk to my CA to give him my move-in report thing but I am extremly lazy, I don't want to, I will do it later. Right now, I really just want to just chill and let things soak in.

I wouldnt mind someone to hang out with, I guess I could call Brandon and talk to him. I don't know, lol, this is just to weird.

I will survive, I guess, I will leave you some pictures of my home for the next few months Towards the bed and the kitchen desk
Back view of the sink towards the desk and tv area.

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak

So England was fun...I will tell more later...i think

London

Little less then 3 hours till we leave. I am so totally freaking out. Gah, I wish, I completely got over my anxiety issues..really, I just supressed htem. I may or may not take my laptop, just getting wireless over there in our hotel room is going to be EXPENSIVE, gah. Actually, everything is expensive. The damn exachange rate is like 2% so somehting that costs 20 pounds there is aproxmently 40 dollars here. Uber gah.

Well must finishing packing

St. Louis and some other stuff

St. Louis was great, we did some fun stuff..I will tell you more about it in my typical picture story, but right now I got to go shower b/c we are going to go see a movie in like an hour and half.

Love ya,
Katrena

New mouse/Dates

So I went to Best Buy today and purchased myself (actually, Dude K purchased it) a pretty awsome wireless optical mouse.
Mum is home, lata

Edit <12:30am>

He also purchased a lock for my lappy and a 2gb usb drive for 60 dollars.

That is pretty awsome I think...hmmm.

Not much is going on really. I went to the doctor today, so me arm hurts b/c I got a tetanous shot.

I really feel like watchign Rocky Horror Picture Show

Oh, and I have a date tomorrow with Ringo at Sonic (fancy, I know).. I am paying..it will be fun, I guess.

10 Things I Learned Today (in no particular order)
1) Having your eardrums not clogged with earwax makes everything really really loud. I am still not used to many everyday sounds. Like the toilet flushing..it scares me.
2) Answering the doctor with "At least not that I can remember" really confuses them when they ask if you have had sex. I was tired, I thought I was dreaming, it was weird.
3) Even people who are nurses can't remember which is the left or the right.
4) Airlines now have some new thing that makes it so you have less delays.
5) Kansas City is a test market for the new 7up Breeze but nobody knows where to find it.
6) People on scrapbook.com are really nice, I love that community.
7) There is no menegitous shots anywhere in the US, so why the fuck do colleges make you get them?
8) Me mum freaks out if you try to put bbq sauce on New York strips
9) Vanilla soy milk and life cereal is uber yummy.
10) I can predict the rain. I told Nastja that she should go to bed now b/c it was going to start to rain soon and then it started to rain. Creepy, I know..but I am the amazing rain goddess, hahaha.

Well, I think I am actually am going to go to bed soon b/c i want to get up early to watch a program on London at 11 then I have to go to my lunch date with Brandon. I am excited, b/c, he deserves a treat. I wish I could take him to a better place, but 13 dollars is what I got on hand right now and I dont feel like going to the bank.

Lata folks,

Weird Dreams about Marc and Marc/Grr, on Wichita State

So, for some odd reason all the robotics kids were coming over to my house like at 5 in the morning. Ok, whatever, but um, you know, Marc, Marc, Danny and the like...well, Danny and I were hanging out in the family room and nobody could find Marc and Marc. After a bit, I had to pee, so I went upstairs and my door was open ajar and Marc and Marc were pawing though my stuff. I went up the stairs (my room is miracously clean and the floor is actually hardwood covered by little squares of carpet) and was like.."What the hell are you doing?".Meyer sat down on my couch and Kautz kept pawing through a pile of magazines. "The pin, the pin. I know you have another pin." he said to me. "What pin?" I asked, he was like "the pin, you know?"...and i was like "oh". So I started lifting up carpet squares from the floor under my bed b/c I knew I dropped one there. I found one and it was a bowling pin..ok...then after awhile, I was like, "I don't have one. Oh, and get the fuck out of my room!"...they started to run downstairs but Dad woke me up..LOSER.

I have a doctors apt. tomorrow at 10:30 to get a tetnus shot b/c I need one for college, gah, I don't like that.

Well, I am hungry

TTYL

7:35pm

So, once again I am coming up against the damn updating of the computers at Wichita State to put back stuff I want to know about my college life.

I was suppose to get my room assignment this week but b/c of the updating I have to wait until next week. I leave next week..so I may have to wait even longer. Grr, on stuff. I wish things would just fall into place.

Gah

10 Things I Learned Today
1) eating Chicken Things is fun
2) Brandon is a funny little boy

10) I am deaf
10.5) I really really hate Marc!!!!!

::GLARES::

He has always loved her, he never loved me, I just this thing to fill a hole while she was with someone else. I get it now, I really, really do. It all makes sense. God, I am such a fucking idiot. Why could I have not seen that? I wasted, well, not really wasted, because I enjoyed a lot of it..well, IDK...Robotics wouldnt have been as fun if it wasn't for the fact I tried so hard and I had other great people to hang out with. Even if most of them had to pretend to hate me because I was the "evil" ex-gf of their best friend, but hey, when he wasn't around, they were great. I will look back at my experiences of Robotics and I will remember every single one of them. It is the reason why I am doing the scrapbook really, idk.

Right now, I have pissed off my father and he is eratically driving around town, so I am a little scared about that b/c he can do some pretty rash things. If he isn't here my 4:15 I am going to call him to make sure he is ok and stuff.

I haven't felt this much like crap since I was diagnosed with depression. People should just come over and make me all happy again. I really could use some friends, some real friends. And some fun, play badminton, go the park..idk..SOMETHING...ANYTHING

Hmmm...I might just have to go sit outside with my IRIVER just rocking it to music and such.

GOD, I hate Marcus Daniel Kautz with so much passion. I have to say, I hate him more then Alex..no,no,no...I hate him more then I hate Katy.

If you know anything about how I feel about Katy, that means a l0t.

That is all
