Pizza is socially awkward.
When I told one of my friends that I was going to the Jets game, her reaction was "Eeek." I understand why. I mean, me in a football game is like drinking lemon-flavored milk - it's not
bad but it's not entirely good.
Do you realize how many of the people who watch football games are actually
smart? I had thought that the people sitting next to me would be, well, idiots. You know, the typical jock. Boy, was I wrong.
These people store incredible, incredible information in their heads. They know the names of the players and they know who plays what when. They knew which teams had the best and worst defense and offense. Oh, and the rules of the game, they understood it like they made it themselves. If football were a subject in school, these guys would get As. And now that I think about it, football might as well be a subject because to enjoy it you have to understand the science and philosophy behind it, not to mention the extensive history that has brought it to where it is today.
Well, that only goes to show me that nothing is ever what it seems. There you go.
---------------Today was the last day for Freshman Colloquium [Aw.] and Professor Veysey had treated everybody to pizza, cookies and soda - stuff people eat when they're baked. Haha. Anyway, everybody was around the table when Joseph said "You know, pizza is the most socially awkward food in the world. You gotta touch somebody else's food to get yours. I don't think it gets any more weird than that." Waha.
He also raised a question after Hasan's research was presented today. He said "You said that you had an Asian sample of five. Then you said that fifty-percent of the sample showed signs of discomfort when a person came closer than one meter. Now, I just want to know how that's possible. I mean, how could you get two and a half people?" Waha. Waha. Wahahahaha. When I looked at Professor Veysey, she shrugged her shoulders and said "You gotta hand it to this guy. He really pays attention."
Yeah. I don't care what folks say about people in honors classes. I still think they're nothing short of genius.
I'll miss these lovely little deviants. :(
---------------My current winter break plans include
- Making a porfolio of all my schoool stuff for this term. [I'm a freak, I know.]
- Rearranging my closet - very important.
- Rearranging my books, maybe even get a new bookcase.
- Trying to learn Spanish again.
God, my life is so boring. Haha.
Not funny.

Randoms things about me
I'm Kitten :)
I get a year older every 17th of August. I am a Leo, and I carry all traits associated with that zodiac.
Right now, I'm twenty years old and I'm loving it. They say we're only as young as we feel. I feel like I'm five.
I would never leave the house without my Zen and my E2. The latter connects me to the world; the former takes me away from it.
If I were to choose a word to describe my life, that word would be
crazy.
I am in love with the stars. I am in love with the rain.
I am a Rutgers University student, and I want to graduate with an English degree. An English-Psych double major would be nice. An English-TCert would be even better.
I want to be a teacher. I want to be writer. I want to be both.
I thrive on indie and emo. Mae, The Spill Canvas, Copeland and Daphne Loves Derby - these are the guys that I listen to. I listen to other bands here and there, but mostly those are the bands I follow. That being said, I'm a mainstream moron.
There's no feeling more lovely than being carried away. People don't usually think of me as somebody spontaneous, but I like being swept away as much as the next girl.
I fall in love easily, but it is really hard for me to fall out. Really hard.
I am very fragile.
I am tolerant of almost everything except one thing: intolerance.
I am an extensive reader. I thirst only for meaning, nothing else.
I love my friends <3
I am extremely spiritual but not religious.
Things I want to do in my life time
Get a job.
- Save up enough money to go back home -
wherever that is if I ever had one before I'm 40.
- Write a book.
- Sing for a Disney movie.
- Buy a house on top of a hill.
- Go bunjee jumping.
Travel halfway around the world.
- See Italy.
Find the one person who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.
Draw and paint.
Learn how to play Sudoku.
- Volunteer for American/Philippine Red Cross or UNHCR.
Quit smoking.
