New Years Adam

And we are entering the last week of winter break... NOOOOOOOOOOO! I'm not ready for adult responsibility  I just want to become a tub of lard glued to my bet with my feline sitting by my side. Nah, that is a lie, I don't desire that to be my fate. It just sounds so good to be lazy. I guess the lazy bug bit me. I also want junk food. Greasy Tacos, Cookies, brownies...I live the healthy life!

Tomorrow is New Years Eve and there is a 90% chance I won't get a blog out.  I'm working a half day and I have to get a new license because mine is in terrible shape. I don't exactly look over the age of 21 so my license gets looked at all the time. The plastic covering is bubbling and coming off. I've almost been rejected buying alcohol 3 times because of the shape of my ID. It looks pretty sad. I also need to purchase booze for my New Years Eve Plans. And after that I need to drive an hour to celebrate the new year. Which I will not be bringing my laptop too. However plan for a New Years Day Blog!  I think I will create some resolutions that day and try to keep it up with this blog, we will see since I've tried to abandon soda like 50 times. 

You might be wondering why the title is New Years Adam. I get it from a high school teacher. Every year she throws a Christmas Adam party (which I never attend) but basically Adam comes before Eve. So New Years Adam comes the day before New Years Eve! Quite clever. 

I think I need to leave my bed now. Things to do...

Laziest Day Ever

Today was the Laziest Day of all time. I woke up at 9 thinking that it had to be like 6 am. I then proceeded to watch youtube videos until I took about nap about six different times. My mom and I were supposed to see Les Miserables but I just could not bring myself to get out of my pajamas. I basically ran around the house pestering my mother. Diving into her chair before she could sit down, playing with her hair. basically being a five year old...who can drink alcohol.

Well after many more naps. we managed to sit on the couch to watch

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS! PART TWO!!!!!!

Now there is something you all should know about me prior to commenting about this film. I'm a big movie crier. Like seriously I can cry at just about anything. I get teary eyed pretty fast. Anywhose this epic conclusion gets be a couple of  times. 

I have a bump on my tongue...it is either from a burn or if I bit my tongue.

Many of you might not get this...however since my power outage pokemon yellow adventure. 

I find this quite humorous.

Growing Some Man Balls

It is finally FRIDAY! Thank goodness! I'm so sleepy! I've been working hard all week. Every morning this past week has been like...crawling out of bed. It's hard to believe a week ago we were without power! But since it is finally the weekend we were all able to get on the couch and watch...

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS! PART ONE!!!!

Gosh, this movie is so dark, so sad so...yeah. I was suprised how much my dad remembered from the past movies. bringing up points- making it clear he's been actually paying attention to the films we've been watching! I'm SO PROUD! He also sad down the ENTIRE movie. Which if you know my dad, it can be hard to do! Anyways maybe the adventure will continue tomorrow!

New Years is coming and I never have any fun plans. I always end up staying in and falling asleep before midnight. I sort of made plans this year but I am unsure if I want to keep them or not. Being anxiety prone makes it complex for me to keep plans, but I'm not big on house parties and I might be going to one.  Eh maybe I need to grow some man balls and go have drunken fun! WOOT

TGTIF!

Oh crap, is today a different day? I thought today was already completed blog wise. TGTIF! I know it's usually TGIF, but I think it stands for Thank God Tomorrow Is Friday. I'm so tired. Unfortunately this will make it my last week of Winter Break! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I'M NOT READY TO GO BACK TO THE HELL THAT IS MY EDUCATION!

Other than work, I haven't really done shit. We still haven't continued our Harry Potter Marathon. I still haven't seen the Hobbit or Les Mis. I've barely seen some of my friends! I'm just trying to survive my 20's people! Either that or I'm just trying to make it through college.

I only have 2.5 days left at my internship and I have to say it was kind of disappointing. Maybe my expectations were too high but I am not really sure how much I've gained from it. There has been maybe a total of one full day of great information and experience, if even that. So that has put my winter as a bit of a downer. I could of been sleeping and lazy and hanging out with friends.

Oh well, hopefully I'll look back on it an be grateful for it.

I Hate Perler Beads!!!

Today was a rough day. My body aches. I did tons of deep cleaning today, all stooped over...  I remedied the situation by going home a little early and by getting into my newest onesie and watching movies while working on perler beading.

I HATE PERLER BEADS! They are so frustrating, difficult, and irritating. But somehow once you complete one it's like THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I guess I have a love-hate relationship with them. My  most recent creation was completed after two hours. I went to iron it and the son of a bitch fell apart! I rolled on the ground and died a little. It took me another hour to fix it.

Something fun I discovered. I guess something that I fondly remember from my childhood. On netflix I found the show Garfield and Friends!  I remember watching it with my dad on Saturday mornings. I don't know how old I was but I was young. They have a new Garfield show on TV. It's all computer animated and not funny. Now I'm only three minutes into this old show, so I don't know if it's actually funny yet. I'm just soaking in being a kid again I guess.

Happy Holidays

Well the holidays have been quite exciting if I do not say so myself. The power came on yesterday around one, making it to five days with out power. I like being in my home staying warm and cozy. Because being home with out power blows major chunks.

Perler Bead Nyan Cat

In order to survive many wonderful people opened their homes to us. They gave us electricity, food, water, warmth and even a bed. And the most important of all- THINGS TO DO IN THE LIGHT! My family spent most of our Sunday at a friends house and because of them I became obsessed with this stupid craft that is way too much fun. It's called Melty Beads! No, that's just what I call them. The actual title of the craft is Perler Beads. It took me a while to finally get the name correct. When I was googling for ideas I kept typing in Parler Beads, Pelerer beads, Parley beads...yeah

So Christmas Eve I came home to a powered, warm home and we still had not got a Christmas tree. Obviously time has run out so my dad and I went out in our backyard and searched for trees or parts of trees that had fallen down in the snow storm that caused the outages. As we searched in the snow we found a tree that was perfect. It was a little empty on the back side, but fuck it, it could go against a wall!

Since we didn't really want to drag all of our Christmas Decorations up my mom and I made paper chains to place on the tree. We also included paper clip chains and one ornament  which happened to be a Snowflake. Very appropriate for the winter of 2012! I had also made some perler bead designs to place on the tree including Pikachu and Nyan Cat who tops the tree!

Every Christmas Eve it is tradition in our family to get Pajamas. Since this Christmas was a major planning fail I was the only one who got some. But, it happened to be a Wiley Coyote Onzie. Pretty freaking sweet. And on Christmas Morning we skyped with the long lost brother as we opened our gifts.

Now it is nap time. Hopefully we will finish our Harry Potter marathon soon!

THE END OF THE WORLD!!

THE END OF THE WORLD HAS HAPPENED!!!!!

Why the leave of absence?! WHY HAVE YOU BEEN GONE!?! DID YOU DIE!?!?!

No, I did not die. But the world sure did end. As of Thursday at 2:27pm the power went out. As of Saturday at 7:30 pm we still have no power. I'm ready to live the rest of 2012 with power. So far it has been really cold and miserable.

We made hot coco from snow on the fire place and we roasted hot dogs. My parents and I all crowd around a tiny fire place that doesn't put off enough heat and we crowd around the candles that doesn't put off enough light. I officially played my gameboy color for like twelve hours. And I restarted my Pokemon Yellow. As of now my party includes. Raticate, Pikachu, Pigeotto, Charmeleon, Sandshrew...and something else. Obviously it was super important. That my friends has been what my life has consisted of for the last few days.

I'm went a little stir-crazy. Totally sick of my parents (Love you but trapped in a small room for too long sucks). So I called up a friend and BEGGED to come over to take a shower. So now I'm bumming electricity, heat, and technology. But I am warm, I am clean and I am cozy. I'm considering staying the night but I'm unsure. It is warm here...and there is power... At the same time I want to go home and sleep in my bed with my cat. It may be cold but it is home.

There might not be a blog tomorrow if the power is still out. But since the world ended I figure there will be no power ever!

Taking the Blame

I guess I'm not in a bloggin mood, I'm pretty pooped from today. I spent a lot of the day picking up someone else's mess. The birds got the wrong meat I had to re-weigh and replace everything, I also had to double and triple check to make sure all the diets were prepared. Which some were not done properly and I don't know it was just kind of a day where I felt like I took the blame for a lot of shit. There is this one old lady who I really am not fond of and she thinks I know NOTHING about anything. And looks at me like I'm just wanting to smack a bitch!

I did however get to take a Great Horned Owl and a Harris Hawk on a walk!

Anyways...

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE!

My eyes slightly water every time. And by every time I mean all three times I've watched it. I forgot practically all of it except for the one part that I knew made me jump. I guess the thing that really gets me is just the struggle that Draco Malfoy goes through. You can just see the fear and uncertainty in his face...just sad. The next two movies I've only seen once so we will see how that goes!

Dumb Oregon Drivers

It was snowing most of the morning. Which means it was FREEZING at work. When I drove to work snow covered the road and I drove under the speed limit because I was paranoid about ice and dumb Oregonian Drivers. We do not know how to drive in the snow and ice! It's like- There's Ice...LETS SPEED UP!

Tonight I had dinner with my friend Jill who works at the place I intern and I am always glad to have her around. I talked to her about my disappointments mostly and she shared her thoughts so it made me feel a little better. She also gave me this advice:

HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX! 

Ok so maybe this wasn't Jill's advice but it was the feature film of the night. I probably will always forget these last few movies. Because lets be honest, if I were to pick a Harry Potter film I would start with the first one. Not just eenie meenie miney mo it. Out of order makes no sense. Well unless you watch Star Wars 4,5,6 & 1,2,3. But that was the order they were made in. Which hardly works for movies. Anyone ever see the prequel Dumb and Dumber: When Harry met Lloyd? No? I didn't think so. 

David Attenborough in Jurassic Park?

If you study science there is a very high chance you are very familiar with the name 

David Attenborough. 

If you are a movie watcher there is a very high chance you've seen Jurassic Park with 

Richard Attenborough

But did you know THEY ARE BROTHERS WHOA! Now I created this little scenario below, I hope that the David Attenborough watchers will at least snicker. I thought it was funny. 

For those of you who don't know David Attenborough appears in many Life Series videos informing people on science crap. He sometimes appears in very odd places and comes out of no where to make a statement.

Tonight the feature film was

HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE!

Well let me say the quotes stopped 100%. I even forgot about some scenes! Like the whole beginning. I also kept trying to imagine a nose on Voldemort so I could picture Ralph Fiennes. Who my mom says it's not pronounced Ralph but pronounced Rayph. I'm currently watching a snip-it from Inside the Actors Studio to find out if she is correct.  But I'm two minutes in and there has been no name...And the Mother is correct...Congrats on correct pronunciation on someone we will never meet. So if I do ever run into him I will make sure I say Rayph. Thank you for saving me the embarrassment. 

Cats + Laser Pointers

And the rain came down. All fucking night. It rains way to much in this state.

Today I purchased a laser pointer for my insanely bored cat. And I am very disappointed on how the cats react to it. It definitely gets their attention but not as much I as I want. 

I don't want to go back to work tomorrow. I just want to sleeeeeeeeeep. I like being warm and inside. It's kind of my thing. I like being cozy. And sleepy. And Warm!

Tonight we watched

HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN!

Once again I sang to the theme songs and danced around, quoting less than before because the higher up in the movies we go, the less I've seen them! My dad has actually been with us for all 3 films so far. (I think he actually is enjoying them. I myself would like to have Buckbeak. He would be an entirely new class! Avemammalia! I would love to own a hippogryph. It would blend my favorite animals together, birds and mammals. 

Tomorrow lets hope we get to the next Harry Potter. Then after Harry Potter we are going to start a new marathon. Lord of the Rings!

Harry Potter Marathon!

This started yesterday but it is best to bring it up now. 

HARRY POTTER MARATHON!

My mother has not seen all of the movies. 

We began yesterday with

 HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERERS STONE!

I do believe I was quite annoying because even though I haven't seen some of these for years, I would instantly remember a quote and quote it. And not only would I quote it I would overly act out the quote. Or sing opera to the theme song. Yeah I'm annoying. 

Today we watched

HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS!

And again with the quotes. I forgot Richard Harris was still as my dad says "Mumbledork" in this movie. I guess I don't have much to say about these movies. Tomorrow is most likely the third movie. But who knows if it will actually happen!

Soo....yeahhh I don't really have much else to say except Neville Longbottom still looks like this

I can't wait for him to grow into his face and straighten his teeth. Soo Hawt. 

Animal Apocalypse

Finally! It's Friday! I'm so relieved. I'm gonna get a good night sleep and rest my aches and pains away.

I've had a thought the last few days. If animals realized we could possibly be more afraid of them then they are of us, we'd be screwed. Like fer seriously! People today are worried about the end of the world or Zombies. But I say if a Squirrel realizes it can gang up on you with it's squirrel buddies we could die at the hands of squirrels. Deer could beat the shit out of you and you would die of internal bleeding. Dogs, even if they are loyal could easily take people down. Birds...well the small ones could dive bomb you and the large ones could bite or sink their talons in you. Kind of a morbid thought but I'd like to think thought provoking.

I'm still feelin that extra estrogen. Can I somehow bottle it up and remove it? I don't want to get rid of all of it just the extra ones.

Throwback Thursday

I had another rough day. Well rough as in not what I want to do/disappointed. I feel like I'm just being crazy.  I just need to hang in there. Tomorrow is Friday and I'm THRILLED that the weekend of rest is almost here.  I ache, I'm stiff and I'm just cranky.

Negative Nancy is apparently here to write these blogs. Hopefully Positive Polly will join us soon. I'll keep checking her schedule, we all know that Polly is more enjoyable than Nancy. However Nancy can be sarcastically wonderful. In a terrible way of course.

Lets go back in time. I'm not quite sure the date but let me give you an example that may set the time frame. Gameboy Color. Or as a young lady seven years younger than me said "What is that brick?!" I remember the day I got my gameboy color. Now I'm not sure my Parents or Nathaniel would have the same story. Nathaniel had got one for some reason, he may of saved money he may of gotten it as a present but he got his Gameboy and Pokemon Blue. I was so jealous! I wanted to play the game so badly! As I remember less than a week later my parents gave me my see through purple gameboy color with Pokemon Red. Every now and then I stumble upon my purple gem and play games for hours. I remember wanting the newer gameboys, but I love my 'brick'. It's old school and fabulous! I mean It could be worse, I could have the original gameboy minus the color!

Extra Estrogen

I've been having a rough week. I think 78% of it may be some extra estrogen that is being directed towards my uterus. That makes this week 99% harder to deal with. I keep trying to tell myself its all in my uterus. That makes me sound with child... I'm going to eat brownie batter now.

I would like to bring up the shooting that occurred in Oregon yesterday. It is terribly sad that two people lost their lives for some assholes selfish way to go out by forming chaos. But in a crowded mall food court with open fire only three people were struck- that is just amazing. I've been to the Clackamas Mall. I actually really like that place. I've eaten food in that food court. I guess it is just strange that I can picture where it all happened in my mind. I'm glad that everything went so smoothly in mall security. A lot more people could of been hurt.

Sadly I feel like this was/is my dream

All My Friends Are Married and I'm Drunk

When the dog bite when the bee stings when I'm feeling sad I simply remember the things that I hate and then I want to fucking scream at people!

One of the major things I loathe may sound quite cynical of me. If I hear, if I read, if I even get the hint of another friend getting engaged, getting married or having babies I might melt like the Nazi's from Indiana Jones. The fact that people are settling down and reproducing. Or reproducing and settling down...Or reproducing and being completely irresponsible. Anyways, I feel like people are wasting their youth. Like what the hell are your twenties for?! Raising a baby?! pppsssshhhh! Whatever.


This website- All my friends are married and I'm drunk completely gets my point of view.

PPPPIIIIIIIIZZZZZZZAAAAAAAA

OH I WAS GOING TO START WRITING A BLOG BUT MOM CALLED 

"PIIIIIZZZZZAAAAAAA"

I AM SO HUNGRY AND EXCITING! OH GOLLY JEEPERS!

Just imagine if it was still that exciting to get pizza. Sometimes I wish I were still a kid with no responsibility.I feel super random right now. Like I need to cut my toe nails, I could really use some brownies, I'm 23 why do I still have problems with acne. Why is it so cold?!

And then I hit this moment in my day where I start nodding my head because I'm so exhausted from brushing splattered poop off of the wall. I live a glamorous life. I learned how to spell glamorous from Fergie. Fergie teaches how to spell kids words in songs. Glamorous, Delicious... however she seems to think Tasty is spelled with and e- Tastey

Shit just getting mo' random. (mo' is short for more- I'm super hip)

A Few of My Favorite Things

When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feel so bad. Because my opinions matter just as much as Oprah! Or maybe even more. I could give people cars...if I had the money and the resources. (A soul would help too)

• Warm sleepy kitty smell. You know that smell of a cat that has been sleeping and the heat from their body just smells so cozy. 
• The sound of a happy purring kitty (I'm not obsessed with cats I swear)
• Passing out and waking up to realize your great nap was only 15 minutes.

And that ends my list. Either I'm really hard to please, or coming up with my favorite things is way harder than I thought it would be. 

My cat is drooling on me. However she is drooling more then Pavlov's Dog! There is a puddle on my arm! Some how in this instant drooling looks cute. Is that weird?

My 3rd First Day

I started my first day as a Raptor intern. And it was a fantastic day. I got to see all of my old friends- people and animals. It was kind of an odd first day. I worked there my entire Senior Year of High School. I also interned there in the Summer of 2010.

On my technically 3rd first day I cut up some venison- which I haven't done in a couple years. Which means I got some blood speckles all over my jacket. I got to see my friend Brady! Remember him from My Play Date with a Cougar Cub? He is so big now! I couldn't believe it! He is also a sweety. Of course I couldn't have the same interaction with him. He's still a cub but he is most likely heavier than I am now.

I got to work on handing which was challenging but exciting. I still am new to it so I will get better with time. You actually have no idea how many thing you have to think about!

Also while I was there I identified the following birds (wild birds) : Hooded Merganser, Wood Duck, Mallard, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Dark-eyed Junco, American Crow, and the Common Raven.

My education is apparently getting me somewhere!

Dr. Sheldon Cooper for President

I saw this t-shirt and it really got me thinking. About useless stuff of course. Like what would Sheldon Cooper be like as President of the United States.

 Some Positives

• We'd be prepared for any natural or unnatural disaster known to mankind. No matter what there will be a plan.
• Everything will be so organized
• Obviously he will not be distracted by the opposite sex nor would there be any sex scandals...unless he actually had some

Some Negatives

• There will be oddly illegal things like whistling
• More people will get into trouble and end up getting three strikes and have to take the class. 

Some...not sure...

• We will most likely have a national holiday for Trains and famous Scientists. 
• His English will only be made sense by the incredibly smart of the world... or the Trekkies. 

My mother told me that some reader were upset with me because I've not been great about posting everyday. So for this blog I hope most of you keep up with Big Bang Theory otherwise you may not get the clear Sheldon-isms I've described. To fix this issue - watch the show. Its just that simple.

I start my new internship tomorrow! I'm going to be working with Birds of Prey! Very excited. However it's going to be on the chilly side since the barn is freaking freezing. It should be a really fun winter break. I like birds...I think. After that final I'm kind of sick of them but that may of been songbirds. To drop some knowledge on you I will be working with: Accipitridae, Pandionidae, Tytonidae, Strigidae, Cathartidae and Falconidae. Google will become your friend to figure out what exactly those are! ;)

Bottle Me Up Some Sass

I've decided only one final might be worse than three. Yes stress might be through the roof with multiple finals. I'm so bored of BIRDS! So so so so so tired of the subject. I like birds but I don't want scientific names I don't want to identify dead birds. I just don't want to! RAGE!

In my extensive procrastination I started a new show. Ugly Betty. I have a new favorite character. Marc St. James played by Michael Urie. The best gay character ever. He is Fabulous! He is so sassy! I LOVE IT! He has great chemistry with every single character in the show especially Vanessa Williams! I just want to bottle his character up in a jar so that every now and then I could open it and get some sassy remarks. Maybe I need to get a life...


As of right now there is T-3 hours til my first and only final and I just want to get it over with. I'm jut doing the final touches of studying. Which apparently includes blog writing. I don't know what to really expect with this final. The specimens are literally 100 years old. Like 1912 old. Like I don't want to touch them because they are older than my grandparents old. They smell and their colors are muted. For instance the Ruddy Duck we have in the collection has a black bill- their bills are supposed to be a pale blue. So in a way it almost seems useless to use this collection. That could be the 'I want to be done' speaking!

To Do: NOTHING

For some reason writing these blogs is like pulling teeth.

 I bet it's finals. I'm tired of birds and their scientific names. 

I'm just tired. Oh So tired. 

This is exactly what I want to have on my To-Do list.

Ass Kickin' Football!

Happy First of December! I started December with some alcoholic beverages. Maybe it was too much... Whatever, whats done is done!

Rachel & I went to the football game today and we kicked their asses! (Rachel and I did not kick the crap out of an entire football team, our college football team creamed the opposing football team in a football match- I hope that clears things up). It was fun! A friend of Rachel's gave us some super awesome tickets, we were in the 7th row by the 20 yard line. I could see faces underneath the football mask! It was cold and rainy but we stayed through the whole game. We won 77-3! Ass Kickin!

The entire day was not very productive. A slight hangover and a tid bit of nausea kept me away from the library. I'm going tomorrow I swear!

Tom Hanks is Awesome

I almost had 500 pageviews for this month. Makes me very upset that this goal will probably not be reached literally needed like 10 more page views for the day and then  my all time would be out of a possible 1,000! A girl can dream about better statistics right?!

Currently I am trying to study for my only final

BIRDS

And I am all out of focus and drive. Thank god this is my only final. I think if I had two more I would be more focused, because I'd have to be. I now have 5 days to memorize everything. I think it is very possible. Closer to crunch time I think a little more panic will be noticeable.

I would like to change the subject to Tom Hanks because he is just so freaking cool.

 I like how he just seems to be a regular guy who is himself all the time and not wrapped up on Hollywood Crap. 

If you can't see the image well enough that is Tom Hanks taping his Emmy to his car. I don't know I wish I could describe how awesome he his without using awesome. It's like trying to describe Salt without using the world salt (if you can describe salt with out using the word please let me know how the hell you did that!)

Funny of the day!I really love this video.

I've probably watched it at least 10 times. SEXY HANDS SEXY FEET!

Working with some Birds

Happy Last Day of Classes for hopefully my last Fall Term! YAY! I'm very excited for my term to be over so I can start my new internship! I don't know if I've mentioned it to my blog reading crowd. So please forgive me if you already know all of this awesome information.

For my internship over winter break I pretty much just called in a favor. And luckily for me the place was more than willing to create this little volunteer internship for me. I will be working with Birds of Prey for a month! Caring handling and other awesome shit. This experience should give me some great skills for raptor care! I got to do a bit of handling when I worked there before but we are really going to work on it! SO EXCITED! Here are some pictures of me holding some cool bird from three years ago. It was all one day because I never got pictures during work!

Since this has turned out to be quite the avian blog I suppose I can add one more 

adorable bird thing on here. Who knew I'd become such a bird nerd?!

These people created a twitter account for these birds. Look how cute! 

MOST BORING PERSON IN THE WORLD!

I keep getting into these blogging ruts. Maybe its because nothing new happens in my life EVER. 

I'm the most boring person in the world. 

I study

I eat

I sleep

I watch TV (30 Rock by the way)

This blog probably took forever to load. Buahahahahah! I live my life through GIF's I am officially a person from the internet. FEAR ME LAND LOVERS! 

I've been having some anxiety issues lately. Its causing me to not sleep or eat. 

At some point I think i'll just pass out or eat an entire cow. 

TA-DA! NICK OF TIME!

TA-DA NICK OF TIME! Blog before midnight! BOOM!

This is going to be a short blog because I NEED SLEEP! I have a prestation tomorrow at noon that I'm not quite prepared for so I've been working on it most of today. It is still two minutes short so I'm working on that son! I have been awake since BD (Before Dawn) and I spent 3.5 hours of my morning looking at a bajillon bird species!

Today I discovered that I do not have to take not only one but two of my final exams. Yes folks that's right. I am able to get out of exams because I'm comfortable with the grade that I presently hold. I FINALLY got back my genetics exam today and I got a 4% higher grade than my last midterm. Placing me at a comfortable B. My super amazing Wildlife Ecology professor said today that we do not have to take the final if we are comfortable with our current grade. I hold a 87% in that class currently. We could still take the final if we wanted to but I don't think I could make my grade any better. This makes finals week 10000 times less stressful! Only one complex final! I'll TAKE IT!

I'm so tired from today, so stressed about my presentation, but so happy and so relaxed! *SQUEAL!*

PANIC!

Crap. I shouldn't be surfing the web. SO MUCH TO DO, SO LITTLE TIME!

The apartment is freezing! No one has been living here for a week and it is unbearable! I'm under my electric blanket with my heater turned on so that I can do homework.

I didn't arrive back at school until two today. And there was no place to park in the parking lot or near my apartment. I live close enough to the school that on a school day parking is packed. So yay...I parked 3 blocks away from my apartment... As soon as a space opens i'm moving it and leaving it there. I removed everything and anything valuable from it. Maybe I will see my car in two weeks...Or maybe someone will have stolen it by then. WHAT IF IT GETS TOWED! AHH!

Overreacting, breaaatthe...

I need to work on my presentation now, find some other source of entertainment for the evening you losers!

Just Two Weeks

Wahhhh! The end of Thanksgiving Break and I did diddly squat. 

I have to leave early tomorrow because I have to memorize scientific names and work on my presentation. Fuuuucckkk. I'm so tired of school. Only two weeks till I'm free from this mind prison. I just want to end this portion of my life. Sorry I've been complaining about it but I just feel like college needs to end. 

Unfortunatley that also means I need to head back to school, and leave my precious poopsie kins behind. I wish I could bring my kitty up to school with me but lets face it I just can't house a cat in an apartment. She would be noisy and destroy things. But I will get to have her cat hugs again in two weeks!

Just two weeks, 14 days, a fortnight...

That seems like such a short amount of time and yet it will take FOREVER!

Graduation Dreams

Procrastination! Ugh it is killing me! I just don't want to do the work. It really sucks. The term is two weeks from being done and I'm checked out! If someone can locate the general area of my brain then that would be swell.

I have this presentation to do and I have this other memorization crap. I just am ready to be a college graduate. This image to your right shows my dream...yes that is exactly how I envision it. And yes my dream bubble looks almost like my school colors but not. Look at me so pensive and scared about the real world! I can't wait til I don't know what to do with my life! At least I wouldn't be working my ass of for an average GPA.

The other night I watched a movie with my cat. It might seem super lame. Whoa what a loser! Hanging out with your cat instead of real people. Gosh darn it people can't be this adorable. She picked the movie and we watched it together...but dammit all! Don't you hate it when someone picks movie and falls asleep so you are stuck watching what they wanted to watch! Cat made it 20 minutes into the movie. If she wasn't so adorable I say 'HEY CAT WAKE UP!' She's been a pretty good cuddle buddy the last week. It's because she super misses me when I'm trying to be smart.

OK enough procrastination and time to get back to work.

 Unless the Cuddling Kitty comes back and says no!

Black Friday

Oh snap...did I get behind in the blogs? Rats...

I didn't even do a poignant Thanksgiving Blog. Turkeys...

I did do Black Friday. And I did black Friday the Selfish way. Oh yeah.
It's Black Friday Friday, gotta get down on Black Friday!

The selfish way means I got myself stuff. WOOO! I like buying things for myself on Black Friday. It is affordable things that I could use.

• Mixer to mix things with 
• Nice glass containers for food storage/cooking
• A frame for half price
• Movies- a shit ton of movies
• Harry Potter 1-6 for two bucks a piece at Walmart
• Harry Potter 7: Part 1 & 2 for 4 dollars each making my entire Harry Potter Collection only 20 dollars. 
• Anastasia- that one film with Rasputin and what not. Animated
• Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows

Obviously super necessary things.

Now I just wish the term was over so I could watch all my new movies and use all my new things.

Almost Forgot

Better late blog than never! It's been a long day! I finally got home to cuddling with the most fantastic cat ever and I realized Blog hasn't been completed for the day.  I don't really know how my midterm went. I felt 100% fucked and then slowly gain confidence. I'm crossing my fingers friends! I don't feel like writing much. I got 4.5 hours of sleep last night and my brain has been up and running since 8am. So with that exhausted thought I leave you with a song from my favorite Drag Queen. RuPaul.

Stress Part I

I'm sure I've had a stress blog before however from now on I will number them. Here is Stress Part I:

I can almost go home for Thanksgiving! ALMOST! I have a midterm tomorrow at 4. So I will be going home after that is done with which could be 6:30, meaning I won't be  home til 10ish. whatever, I get to have a kitty sleep on my bed.

I'm very stressed and frustrated. I've been trying to get a worksheet from a classmate when I was deathly ill and she hasn't even emailed me back. I sent her an email 5 days ago... I also tried emailing my ta but the email address was incorrect. So I kind of feel screwed over on that portion of my life. Whatever...

I have to get a B- in the class to get my minor. Right now I have exactly an 80% in the class. Right where I want to be but I'd prefer a larger cushion. So I need to get the same score or better to get that B-. I also do not want to take the final if I don't have to.  It would make finals a lot easier if I didn't have to.

Over thanksgiving break I have to to a presentation, a paper, and study for finals. Yay for mini vacation?

Becoming an Adult- Maybe

My drive for studying has slammed on the breaks. I just don't want to care! I'm having a hard time with everything because I'm so done with college, but I have still have a year left. I wish I knew more when I was a freshman. I'd be done by now... But I'm still unsure about graduation. Summer or Fall 2013. I just want to be done! It really just makes me frustrated.  I sort of want to just drop my minor completely...but at the same time I really want it! Life is complicated. Sometimes I wish I weren't old enough to take care of myself. Then someone could cook for me, pay all my bills (oh wait...), drive me places and just care for me. Yeah it sounds cool but I bet I would really be unhappy with a lack of independence  Nothing saying Adult like getting a Burrito at two in the morning. Or eating cookies for breakfast! 

I just want to move on with my life! I feel like the education portion should of ended a year ago. 

I are so smert I ain't need no more learnin! 

I'm sure you are all well aware of it, but Neville Longbottom became the hottest Harry Potter guy. Personally thing it is the fact that he grew into his teeth. Whatever happened. It worked. 

Dumb Overheard Conversations

Today was kind of productive. But also  kind of not. I was sitting in the library and I just couldn't focus. It didn't help that the people sitting at the table next to me were super annoying talking about reality shows being scripted.

This girl was dumber than a bag of hammers. 

 "What do you mean they script reality shows, I mean its real life" 

And annoying dumb boy

"Yeah they do because regular life is boring and they have to create conflict. They also script WWE"

Dumber than a bag of hammers

"Do they really I mean they have all these competitions and stuff."

Annoying dumb boy

"Yeah it totally is except they instigate the better fights by giving them alcohol and stuff. If they wanted them calm they would like totally but an xbox in there room or something"

This conversation went on for far too long. When the Dumb Pair finally gabbing as they left the library, another guy at different table said "Shut the Fuck up, thank god they're leaving"

Moral of the Story- Don't have  loud dumb conversations for others to hear.

It's Freezing!

Its getting cold out people! My electric blanket is on high and I am in quite a few layers. Buying electric blankets was the BEST investment ever. I actually have two. One for my bed and one for the couch. I used to tear my bed apart everyday to take it to the couch so to save everyone time who wished to use a blanket of heat I got a second. The best way to warm up with an electric blanket it is to throw that sucker on high and place a blanket on top so all the heat stays where you want it to. I have the most fascinating life!

I hate it when it is cold. I don't like turning on the heater because he wall heaters are super expensive and inefficient. While writing this blog my fingers get cold. I also like to drink milk with my food but it completely chills me from inside out!

Today I had an all in one day. Means I was lazy. I studied, I worked out and I got my daily dose of 30 Rock , The Big Bang Theory, and South Park. Living the dream *What What!*

It's almost too cold to type- short cold blog.

Talkies!

Happy 201st blog...not as exciting is it?

I watched the Artist a few nights ago. It was very good. I feel like I have to watch it again, because I watched it maybe a little too late at night. However I have to say Jean Dujardin is quite the hottie. I could so see him as a movie star in the 20's. I also see him like the Cary Grant type.

I don't think I've actually ever seen a silent movie before. So it was a new experience for me. The actors have to display such emotion and really express what their characters are feeling through visual cues.

The closest this to a silent film I've seen is Singing in the Rain. And that's because it was a film about switching from Silent films to Talkies. Imagine if we still called movies today Talkies.

I talk a lot about movies here on the blog because I am quite the movie enthusiast. Now I tend to stay away from dramas because I cry super easily. I also steer away from horror because of my little over active imagination getting me in to trouble...in my head. I did watch this goofy horror flick last night. Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil. It was kinda dumb and humorous. Its about two Hillbillies who thing a group of college kids are trying to kill them/commit suicide and college kids who thing the two hillbillies who think these hillbillies have captured their friend and are trying to kill them. That may sound confusing. Basically the moral of the story is don't judge people by their appearance. Because these were some nice hillbillies.

Also, if I haven't mentioned before- The Usual Suspects is a good movie.

Happy 200th Blog!

HAPPY TWO-HUNDREDTH BLOG!

Really could it be? 200 Blogs! I'm such a fantastic writer! I'm going to give myself an award of excellence!

I don't even really know what to say I've had so many milestones with this blog. 

• One Fortnight Celebration
• 100 Days of Being Facebook Free
• Last Facebook Free Blog

And believe it or not my most viewed Blog is: Bearded Bear Hat Guy

I actually know why it is my most viewed blog. The Frogman is a popular tumbler thingy... I don't have Tumbler, don't ask me about it. When I was first trying to find who that guy was I used the keywords Bearded Bear Hat Guy. My hope is that people actually use the link I give them to find a super entertaining guy. It's like I'm a link to his popularity. Do you see that? There it goes again! It's....It's... MY DELUSIONS!

In celebration of my 200th Blog the universe gave me a super special gift. It presented me with a special viewing of none other than Skateboarding Cowboy John Lennon! THE LEGEND HIMSELF! I was beyond thrilled to of seen this undead Beetle (remember I use Beetle instead of Beatle because I'm trying to be humorous. He wasn't ever apart of the Beatles so I created a Doppelganger band, The Beetles) Alas I did not get an updated photo because it is really hard to try and take a picture of a Skateboarding Cowboy.


It is almost hard to remember how this whole blog process started. Oh wait, no I remember I quit Facebook for 6 months. Which was a fantastic experience! I did return to the land of social networking so maybe it didn't work to well. Whatever Whatever I do what I want! I tried looking excited in this picture but it sure would of looked super creepy if I was just smiling in the library and taking pictures of myself with my web cam. So here- SEE HOW MUCH I'VE GROWN AS A PERSON!!!! Yeah That's right mentally I've grown at least 6 feet.

Another Good Show?

Guess who finally ate her birthday cake ONE WHOLE WEEK LATER! This girl who is no longer completely ill. Yeah! Rachel made me a cake in the form of a bunny pooping. Those of you who do not know Rachel should realize, it is classic Rachel.  I'll post a picture later.

My aunt kindly pointed out to me that Big Bang Theory is also a good show. Let me show you my feelings on that show:

If that doesn't really show you that I like the show let me say it in words. 

I REALLY LIKE BIG BANG THEORY!

I started watching Big Bang Theory two years ago. I really do enjoy it. However it is not my absolute favorite. My favorite episode is when Sheldon loses it and Leonard has to chase him in the ball pit. 

Oh and by the way Nathaniel also shows some strong Sheldon-isms. 

Today was my long day at school, so I'm super sleepy. 

I feel like a I was a semi-bitch today and I feel kind of guilty for it. But, eh, what can you do. 

Try no to be so bitchy tomorrow! Not really feeling writing down stuff today. 

I think just don't have what it takes to entertain the negative amount of people that read my blogs. 

Gravity Falls

I have a new favorite show. Don't judge. It airs on the Disney Channel. I just felt these cold blank stares, easy there tigers. The show is called Gravity Falls and it is the smartest, funniest kid show ever. Not only does it have a super clever name (Gravity falls people...literally) but it is supposed to be located in Oregon. Represent! 

I successfully convinced not one but three people to watch that show. And then report back to me saying that they absolutely love the show. What can I say, I have great taste! I also convinced my brother to start watching 30 Rock- one of my other favorite shows in the world. He didn't seem to amused at the pilot so I went to bed. And when I woke up in the morning he messaged me.

" I HATE YOU, THIS SHOW IS AMAZING! I DID'T SLEEP!"

Now readers you should of known since the beginning that I super love 30 Rock. 

Other freaking amazing tv shows include Arrested Development. 

I would list others right now but I'm too busy watching 30 Rock...again. 

So maybe you the reader in your comfortable onesie should try out a couple of shows!

Dreaming Big Baby!

I no longer appear to have wealth, my Cinderella Story is over. The 70 inch tv has been replaced by a 30 inch brick. I can no longer see pores on the actors faces. I'm back in my bed in a room the size of the bathroom. *Sigh* Maybe I should aspire to be whatever these people are. I was telling my mom that yes, these people are wealthy. But anyone who actually makes a steady paycheck is wealthier than I am. I could of gone to someones home who had a 40 inch tv and a x-box and thought the same thing. 

I wish I could say I'll be rich like that living the dream but unless any of my relatives are a wealthy beyond belief and leave me money its not going to happen. And I don't think anyone is going to leave me a huge sum of money. If you are interested in helping me become a fancy rich person you are more than welcome to donate money to another one of my causes! MAKE ME FUCKING RICH!

I would really like money to: pay my college loans, buy a house with a theater room, and maybe eat steak more often! My dreams are so big guys. 

It's 6:00 and I am falling asleep in my bed. I think I'm just exhausted from not doing a  god damn thing this weekend.

Another Day of Fake Luxury

Another day of fake wealth surrounds me. Luxury surrounds my current fake life. The only downside is that we have to walk the dog three times a day. Such a hard life.

Last night we watched Hollow Man. Which was a super creepy movie. Kevin Bacon- Creepy, His character- perverted creepy. Because this I had an irrational fear of an invisible person being in my fake fancy home. I decided if I was invisible I would have semi-good morals. I would totally steal shit. I'd be the invisible cat thief. I'd probably scare some people. However I don't think I'd want to be creepy. Watching people and what not. It would just end up giving myself the creeps.

We also watched the football game, Rudy, Caddyshack, True Lies, She's Out of My League and other stuff. Obviously a super productive weekend. We've played a BILLION games of pool and I don't think we are getting any better. Oh our dreams of winning money on bets kind of went out the window.

OM NOM NOM

Rich For the Weekend

That's right living large this weekend. Rachel got a dog sitting gig for some family friends this weekend and these people are LOADED! She invited me to come with her and hang out. Since I hadn't left my bedroom for days I decided it would be a good idea to go on a 'mini' vacation.

Goldendoodle

I've been to this house before once. The guy who lives here is  fabulous at art so there are amazing pieces all over. His sculptures are just jaw dropping incredible  Him and his wife travel a lot so there are also fun little artifacts from so many different places all over the world. One reason why they can afford all of this is because they don't have any kids. Instead of kid they have a GIANT DOG! A large Golden Doodle. He is pretty adorable. He looks like a dog that got a perm. Very well behaved and very sweet! The only thing I don't like about this dog is when he gets playful he gets nippy. It does't hurt but when his mouth fits over your arm its like- That shouldn't be there!



There is also a super sweet man-cave here. This guy has a super sweet 70 inch television.  Its almost wider than I am tall. I WANT THIS TELEVISION! Rachel and I are watching True Lies right now. We are considering watching Avatar on it. Its practically a theater in here. In this super sweet man-cave there is also a billiards table. We've played at least 20 rounds. I still suck at it but I can at least hit the ball!

This place is on the fancy side but since Rachel and I  are poor college students living in an apartment the size of the man-cave we are pretending to be fancy rich snobs.

"Darling lets eat lunch on the breakfast nook the sun is just coming off that ridge oh so wonderfully"
"I agree, are we going to play polo on the lawn this evening or shall we host a dinner party and invite The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge?"

Shit Getting Fancy Up in Here

(The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is William and Kate, for you non-fancy folk)

Does Anyone Read This?

Is anyone out there reading? Some days I feel like it's just me...alone...talking to myself...yeah...

I'm a little depressed. And I don't know why I'm surprised but I am. It's just like an entire friendship really just dissolved before my eyes. Not for my lack of trying. I've tried reaching out but it is impossible to make contact. Time takes its toll on friendship. It might just be me being slightly feverish and emotional-ness but I just feel. I don't know I guess I just look like barely a speckle on the map that is her life.

Anyways I still feel sick. I went to my advising appointment and it was less than helpful I was hoping I'd find and for sure set graduation date. I just want to know this learning shit will come to an end!

Rachel and I are at some rich peoples house watching Weird Science on their 70 inch T.V. It is awesome. I'm feeling better. Still kind of ick gross but better.

I think Robert Downey Jr. in Weird Science is is just Dorkly Adorable. 

Accepting the Fate of the Presidential Election

By now all of you know that Obama was re-elected as our nations president. Here are my feelings on the matter.

Yesterday I was sporting a fever of a solid 99 degrees a little delirious. Just ask my Mom and Rachel. I'm not really into politics but for some reason I started crying because I thought Mitt Romney was going to win. I would also like to follow that statement by I cried because I realized we had sour cream and I cried because I realized I was talking to myself...yeah super sound mind here.

Vote Winners- Stop saying THANK GOD. Romney couldn't of done any damage to the US. He Couldn't of, Get over it.

Vote Losers- Stop saying that Obama is going to ruin our nation. He isn't. In 4 more years we will have another republican president. Get over it.

Non-Voters- Shut up you have NOTHING to add to any conversation. Get over it.

I did vote for Barack Obama. However even though I disagreed with some of Mitt Romney's views, even if he were to of been elected it would not be the end of America. Nor is Obama going to destroy america. I think that everyone needs to lighten up. Stop bringing such negativity to the world and accept the fact that this man will be president for four more years. I would not want to have the job that these  men run for and I commend them for dealing with the worlds most difficult job where there is no unanimously happy people.

Even if Romney was elected I would accept it and hope for the best. Can't we just all be adults and  not be little whiney bitches?

I'm still sporting fever today. I've been in bed for over 24 hours. So cruddy.

Sick and Miserable

Oh golly jeepers readers. This kid is sicker than yesterday, has a 99 degree fever (I run low so 99 is pretty high for me), who used neosporin as lip balm (holy shit it works so well), who has also had a New Girl marathon. I feel miserable. Rachel has been a saint. She has only done three little measly things for me but it has helped so much.

I skipped all my classes today. Ate top ramen and crackers. Yeah, that is my day.

My 23rd Birthday!

Guess what today is my precious readers?

MY 23rd BIRTHDAY

Whoa, Awesome, Cool, No Way!

It was an ok birthday. And the only thing that made it ok is the fact that I am sick! *Cough* AND I had to drive a total of 5 hours today. I'm done driving.

However I did get to see a lot of awesome people from Wildlife Safari and the Newport Aquarium. 

I feel like I am not really in a blog writing mood because of my snot filled headache. So I will elaborate later on my twenty-third birthday!

Dad's Weekend

I apologize blog readers for my absence! Dad's Weekend took much time away from blog mostly because we were so active. And so inactive. We ate and hung out and stuff. On Friday night I took the dad to my favorite Karaoke bar and we tried winning a bike by buying beers. We didn't win a bike but we did get free t-shirts! The next day was the football game. Unfortunately I began having cold symptoms, I became cranky and miserable with a sore throat. But we went to the game anyway and had a great time.


It really wasn't that cold out but I was prepared and had a shit ton of layers on. I had two socks, two pairs of leggings, jeans, a tank top, and underarmor long sleeve shirt. a t-shirt, a sweatshirt and a fancy pantsy new hat. Here are some game day photos for your viewing pleasure!

Footballers! 

First Down!

Marching Band

Go Beavs!

WE WIN!

And That concludes Dad's Weekend!

Happy November Bitches

Happy November Bitches!

My daddy is here with me! We just watched the Avengers and like I thought my dad LOVED it. I took a picture of us...He made a funny face. I said I'm using it. He is giggling at himself now. He said he looks like the Hulk. Minus the Green factor of course. Yeah.... that's my dad.

Well I finally got my Genetics midterm back. I squeezed by with a B! 80.5% Baby! YEAH! I'm very excited about it. I made some dumb mistakes but it still worked out in my benefit. Hopefully I will do better on the next one. If I do get a B on the next one I don't even have to take the final because the lowest test score drops. That's my goal. I would like to focus on only two classes for finals. That would be really nice!

This weekend is going to be a fun/stressful weekend. I have SO much to do but Dorky McGee is here so I have to spend time with him for Dad's Weekend. I also have to go to my friend Glenda's Wedding Reception at home. Then I have to drive back to school and do fun things that I have yet to divulge what is happening.

I'm going to watch another movie with the Dad so, I will blog you tomorrow!

Sexy/Slutty____ Halloween

Halloween! And it is raining out! Which most likely means I will stay in tonight! WOOO! I'm such a party animal. I didn't really have anything prepared for this Halloween. I really wanted to be Catwoman (like always. Not Anne Hathaway or Hallie Berry's version, I'm talking like Michelle Pfiffer or comic book catwoman)

My closet options were a rocker, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or Tom Cruise in Risky Business. You know dress shirt no pants and some sunglasses, easy peasy cheeesy.  I really didn't like risky business. He was just a spoiled teen who got into deep shit when he got involved with a hooker.

Not many college students dress up for classes on Halloween. It is raining,  girls usually don't want to be sexy_____ or slutty______ in the daylight. They might just be confused with day time hookers. And the majority of students will be hitting house parties and the bars tonight in their costumes. I might have sexy/slutted it up last Halloween. I'll let you decide with this scandalous photo. People also dressed up last Friday at the bars. In college the it is Halloweekend meaning Halloween includes the weekend and the days leading up to the 31st. At the bars I saw: Sexy Gangam Style, Sexy Dalmatian, Philip J Fry, sexy caveman, emo kid, and some mad scientists. .

Anyways today I've seen: Captain Jack Sparrow, The Joker, Finn- That kid from Adventure time, A couple devils.

Tonight instead of going out because of the rain, Rachel and I will be watching potentially scary movies. And when I say potentially scary I mean Troll and Troll 2. Movies from the 80's which could have laughing potential like the Leprechaun movies. If they are in fact scary I will be totally and completely screwed. I probably won't sleep for two weeks.

Also fun tip for you Trick-o-Treaters. Unless you like to be tricked only ask for treat. You are asking the stranger at the door to give you a trick or a treat. It is an option that can totally fuck you over. So just say TREAT!

I'm a Crazy Cat Lady!

Sometimes I feel like cats would make everything better! For my birthday I want this box of cats. Because lets face it I need to get started now on being the Crazy Cat Lady. I'm 100% ok with being a crazy cat lady. The only thing that I think would make it unacceptable: the smell of cat piss. Yeah no...my Crazy Cat Lady home will not smell like urine. 

My dad is coming for Dad's Weekend on Thursday Night. I'm excited for him to be here. I have to study like crazy the next two days because I basically am taking Thursday-Monday off. I have to have memorize more bird songs and Taxonomy! Lots of work left to do. I also need to go over my genetics and wildlife ecology. Not only does that need to happen, but I need to clean my room, the apartment and prepare for the arrival of my daddy-o. You guys should be excited for epic dad weekend blogs. YEEAAAH BUDDY.

I found this to be funny! Because it's true.

Hey Girl, I'm Batman...

Batman is my favorite Superhero. Now in saying superhero I know that he doesn't actually have any super powers. He just has money, smarts and power. But no doubt about it he still is super in what he uses his resources for and saving people makes him a hero. Ergo Superhero. 

However even through he is my favorite there are somethings that really irk me about it:

1. Batman always wants to give up his secret Identity to the pretty girl. Dude is thinking with the wrong head. Fuck, I'm surprised he is actually alive with all the tail Bruce Wayne gets, I bet it is his pickup line! I can see it now! "Hey Girl, I'm Batman. Wanna come back to my place and see the batcave?" Or "Hey Girl I'm rich" that also may suffice.  He tells so many girls, how does the whole town not know!

2. Why is it when he has his mask on his eyes are very dark and removes it and nothing! Maybe he has like super makeup remover or something. Instant removal. I need to get shit like that. 

Do you see what I mean! Anyways, Michael Keaton is the best. 

3.  Joel Schumacher versions of Batman. Only George Clooney could come out of that movie unscathed. There is probably more, however I still rather enjoy it. They are just some Bat-Peeves! See what I did there!

I'm in the library studying taxonomy. It isn't that hard but at the same time it is super complicated. The best way for me to memorize taxonomy is to write it out over and over and over and over and over and over. 

So right now I am trying to learn procellariiformes. This is my process:

1. First I try and separate the big scary term in to little easy terms: Pro-Cellari-iformes.
2. Then I rewrite it like a bajillon times procellariiformes procellariformes procellariformes
3. After that I try and memorizing the families. And like I said before I make little terms out of big scary terms. 
• Diomedeidae- Dio- Mede-idae- Albatrosses
• Procellariidae- Pro-cellari-idae- Sooty Shearwater
• Hydrobatidae- Hydro-bat- idae Storm-petrels
4. Then I move on to the next order and just continue through. 

Right now I have to memorize: 3 Superorders, 17 orders and 22 families. That is a lot of funky looking words I have to break apart. But this technique works for me! It just takes soo much time!
