DOMINATION

2008-04-04T21:16:00.000-07:00

in all honesty, i believe i dominated my ms 251 test...HOPEFULLY!!!

but now, i'm sitting at home, 3.5 hours away from school, BORED and watching the travel channel.

Samantha Brown's Passport to Europe. I believe it is the Denmark episode. I might add, it's amazing. Denmark looks beautiful! and I just saw my first American made product, Coca-Cola. and some seriously high-tech washers! better than those LG ones you see on commercials. by the way, if you ever want to travel, i would suggest to watch this show, it's pretty sweet!

sitting here, i have realized i should perhaps, re-name my blog. it isn't about drama here (mostly because all the drama would include my room mates and i) and i don't want them to read it. yikes!

oh..and i just want to put this out there, i just turned 21 over a week ago. and i came home, ate dinner and around 10 o'clock i realized that i'm going to have a drink. and i shared my first drink (as a legal adult) with my mom. god, it was cute!, yet awkward. she actually made me a margarita! come to think of it, we have 4 bottles of margarita mix, and about one shot left of tequila...tell me how that works?

i hope that is random enough for everyone :)

Business Statistics=DEATH

2008-04-03T22:13:00.000-07:00

i am not sure if any of you are business majors, but beware of the Business Stats class!

this MS 251 class will be the death of me and it's required. i don't really consider myself as a drama queen or anything of the sort, but this class seriously equals DEATH. yeah the little smiley faces with the x's for eyes. DEATH.

i've studied for 5 hours, watched 2 movies (one of which was 3 hours) and i'm currently in the middle of, "The Goonies," and i am still NOT ready.

f-critical, t-critical, standard deviation, alpha, p-value! WOW. it's like when you've eaten too much on Thanksgiving and your eyes are bigger than your stomach.
i even went to the library to study in a 7 person study group, which got me no where because i talk to much. :( Thank God the semester is almost over..unfortunately, i have a memo due next Friday in the same class.

there are simply not enough hours in the day.

running away. those two words have described my whole life.

boys. mom. dad. friends. boys.

it's so easy. running away.

commitment. that's a word many people run from. especially me. it's scary. and it makes me want to run in a corner and hide. but mostly, do not, by any circumstances, commit to someone, or rather, something, you don't want.

don't settle! right now, part of me wants to settle. but, there's so much more. college. career. boys. ok, maybe not boys. but i want maturity.

that's what i want. maturity. some say, that word is scarier than commitment. ha. i beg to differ. it's my last day from running away.

i came to this school, because i was running away. a year later, i'm still running. but for different reasons and from different people. sometimes, i wish some people would pull their head out of their ass, and take a deep breath. to realize that what they're smelling is something better. not fake. people might like them more. and hopefully a weight is lifted from their burdened chest.

as for me, i just want to be happy. i can say now, i am finally happy with who i am. and i can say yes, the title of this is from the starting line. oops! i am not perfect. i guess the people with their head up their ass are not perfect either.

you can't make everyone happy. yes, i've realized this too. but does it hurt to try?
