DEAR GOD I am exhausted. I need to eat something SOOOO badly. I haven't had all that much today due to time constraints...argh I am le dumb.
Seriously though, why am I not in my dorm having a snack?!
College Tip #9 whatever: EAT
College Tip #10 whatever again: DO HOMEWORK SO YOU CAN EAT
yea I'm working on a late-ish paper. No worries, please mum and dad and relatives and readers, I promise I'll be good.
In other news, I got an A on my Medieval History presentation! SCOOOOOOORE. So glad. That class I shall do very well in!! I did just get out of the exam, and truth be told, I'm just drained. Gotta do it all over again tomorrow, except this time it's Art History! Kill me nowwwwwwwww!! Just kidding.
It kind of hurts to type!! I can't really feel my hands so well because of all the writing I did in the past exam....yeouch! Ah man. I don't really know what to say my brain is so fried.
The weekend was good, not as productive as I would have liked it to be, but productive enough. Fun too, so a good balance. Watched a movie(yea Batman the Dark Knight!!!), cleaned, did studying/h.w....Yeaup.
Okay before I bore you I'm going to leave. Too much on my mind and it's too hard to write a good entry!!!
Ciao ciao,
Julia

sorry! (and) Karma!
Oh I'm sorry for the week-long lapse. I fail at blogging every once and awhile. ((I was working! Just in the library where I was cutting up more letters and such. I don't think the admissions office has one of those awesome paper cutters??))
College Tip #8: NEVER ASSUME. Well, okay, almost never assume! Today I went to the library an hour before class, assuming that the assignment posted was going to be like ever other assignment--a few online readings and a short assignment. WAS I EVER WRONG. I log on to the "MyRipon portal" to find that I had over 70 pages of reading to do--SEVENTY. Oh dear. So yes.
I am sort of covered in scratches. One is on my knuckle that I just got--paper cut. But a bad one. They usually don't bleed so...The other is on my wrist from setting up things in my room. The other one, which is the worst one, is behind my right knee. It is quite possibly one of the worst places to get a cut--girls--have you ever gotten a razor cut there from shaving? OW major. Every step you take it is pain. What happened with this cut is that I was sitting sideways on my futon with Zach sitting normally, my legs over his. We were watching TV, me in my pajama shorts and a T-shirt, and I got up to make tea when the sharpened pencil sticking out of his pocket that I did not happen to see scratched up my leg and bore into my skin.
I now have an accidental tattoo.
Right before formal.
Naturally I got way upset--a chunk of wood and lead is in my leg! And Zach felt horrible.
However, the night of injury was not over. Once we found some antiseptic and band aids and I was all good, Zach attempted to sit down again on the futon and slipped, carving a nice scratch into his lower back with the edge of the futon's arm. It, he said, was karma.
::Sigh::. Still, I don't like the idea of having a grey dot at the back of my knee for years to come. Draw more attention to the weirdest part of your body? Nuh-uh. Rawr. Life goes on.
With a grey dot.

Almost there...
College tip #7: Don't procrastinate. Or try not to. Or stop procrastinating next week...
har har har. No, but in all seriousness, try your best not to. There's nothing more relaxing than an afternoon where you're not scrambling to finish something for your afternoon class...
So close to fall break. I can taste it!
So the weekend was good. Zach and Patrick (his roomate and my friend) were initiated into Theta Chi this weekend! I'm so happy for them and the rest of their pledge class. It's so exciting. I hung out with Zach Saturday evening and most of Sunday. We ordered pasta and ate with Amanda and George--we watched Clone High! Love that show.
Unfortunately, now Zach is ueber sick. Poor guy--he's been feeling, as he says, "like death" for a couple days now. I made him a cute care package though, so hopefully it'll help!
I've been browsing teas online...oh all I want is tea now! Going to make some and warm up. I'll see you all later!

NINE DAYS
I'm sorry if I'm overly excited for fall break. It's just going to be amazing. Cannot wait!!!
Anyhow.
College Tip #4 ( think): LOOK AT YOUR SYLLABUS FOR UPCOMING ASSIGNMENTS AND READ IT WELL FOR DIRECTIONS. Really, this is elementary, but you can sink into a funk and expect assignments to go a certain way...and then professor Mockridge throws you for a loop!
College Tip #5: Sleep.
Oh man I want coffee hardcore. I wish Zach's schedule wasn't so hectic. I owe him coffee at Gooseberry's.
College Tip #6: GO TO DOWN TOWN RIPON. Not only does it give you something to do, but you can get involved and help support this great community. A few cute shopping joints too!
Hm three tips. I guess I'm in a tipping mood because I helped with a "successful college student" presentation today for the FYS kids. Good stuff...

Wow...
...It's a day away from October?! Sheesh!
It's not like it's a bad thing...September just went so fast! I love, love, LOVE October though. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, football season really kicks off and feels real, and the leaves continue to change to gorgeous hues. Love autumn so much. Just perfect weather to sip coffee, tea, hot apple cider (my favorite in the fall!), or cocoa.
Mmmmmmmm.
On an unhappier note, I believe that I am getting a cold. I will take some echinacia when I get to my room, but what I really need is some vitamin C!!
College Tip #3: Get lots of sleep and take some vitamins! If there is anything you can do to ward off a nasty, nose-dripping, throat-scorching, head-banging cold--do it! There's not much more suck-tastic than sitting through an hour lecture while you sniffle and cough for all of it.
I am rather tired today. Even though I did get a decent amount of sleep last night, nothing has healed the weekend yet. But I will survive! I just cannot wait for sleep tonight. Lots to do before then.
Hmmm...Fall break is in 17 days! I better settle down about that...

Wisconsin is awesome.
It is. It really really is, but it's also crazy weather-wise.
College tip #2 (and for all of you, really): if you are thinking about coming here from out of state or already live here, adopt a German phrase into your vocabulary: Zwiebel-Klammoten. Translated it means "Onion-clothes." Basically--WEAR LAYERS!!!! I told this to Zach on the way to my room today for lunch as I peeled off my sweatshirt and scarf and realized that I was too hot, even though they were wonderful to wear earlier (45 degrees this morning...yummmm).
Classes today were alright. I still am really enjoying art history--it's sooo interesting!!! I worked on notes for it while I waited for Zach to get out of his bass lesson, and then lunch...and now work! So yea....OH LIFE IS CRAZY.
Ciao for now!

P.S. i promise to talk about this past weekend soon!
