Hmm me in a nutshell. yes?

Lets101 Quizzes - blog quizzes

So yeah...

To whomever may read this, and you know who you are, I know I don't post often but when I do, I enjoy hearing back from people. Tomorrow is my 21st birthday, and I shall most likely not touch a drop of alcohol till I get home on the 14th or 15th, and spend time with the 37 inchers and what have you. But since last time I posted a few things have happened. For one, I found out that I might be able to graduate early. Which would be great, although I've thought about going on what Carthage calls the Oxford Program for spring sem 2009. I'd spend the semester in England attending Oxford College, taking 4 humanities courses and only having three days of class a week. Two it has come to my attention that a number of women whom I care for have become single recently. This makes me happy for two reasons. The first and the more important one is, they're happier now. And two the sagittarius in me hopes that I might be ale to date one of them, whomever that may be.
All that has stayed the same really is the fact that I'm still here at Carthage and I'm waiting intently on getting over with this semester. It's driving me nuts, tons of busy work for no good reason and all sorts of other bull that I don't ned to do. But I digress. I'll most likely post again after christmas break during J-term, and hopefully I'll have more to say then. So until we meet again, g'bye.

Who's surprised?


What Flavour Are You? Cor blimey, I taste like Tea.Cor blimey, I taste like Tea.


I am a subtle flavour, quiet and polite, gentle, almost ambient. My presence in crowds will often go unnoticed. Best not to spill me on your clothes though, I can leave a nasty stain. What Flavour Are You?

I HATE PEOPLE WHO ARE BASTARDS!

Ok, as some of you will soon know I have been dicked over by the financial aid office and Chase bank. I had applied for a loan of $25,000 for this school year well that has been cut down to size and I have only received $20,099 yeah... real nice of them isn't it? also Chase has me set up for 20 years of payments... 20 years! the interest alone when I'm done I'll have paid close to 5 times that. anyway...this weekend I'm still going to Loth even if it kills me.
I'm just tired of this over and over and over, I just want to go to Rome it's there within reach and I can't do it. Hell I barely made it to school this year. And yet I continue to wonder is it really worth it? going to college I mean? I'll be close to $100,000.00 in debt upon graduation. I have no real set-up for work after this so I'll be going off to Grad school which is gonna put me further n the hole. So really is it worth going into debt for a piece of paper that says "hey this guy isn't a complete arse!" I don't know. But I;m this far so I might as well find out.

Oh so, the cool part about my wand is....

It's made of: Yew
Yew is the Wood of Death. Used for its strength for bows in Greek times. The yew tree's branches grow into the ground, thus when the central trunk dies, the tree lives on as the branches become trees. It symbolizes transformation, great age, and reincarnation. Yew is especially good in spells involving spirits or raising the dead, and also in the dark arts, as well as in defense magic and shield charms.
Yew's personality is Enduring.
Element: Earth

The Core is: Kelpie Hair

Kelpie hair comes from the mane of a Kelpie, a water demon commonly found in Britton and Ireland, who often takes the shape of a horse. The most famous Kelpie is referred to by Muggles as the Loch Ness monster. Kelpie's are adaptable creatures, and thus the wand is a good core for most types of magic, but especially water magic.

I think that's rather fitting for me. Which really makes sense cause the wand chooses the wizard after all. Ha! or the Centaur in my case.

I got a wand!... now what?


Wood type: yew
Length: 11½ inches
Core: Kelpie Hair

get your own wand!

Bah!

Well all in all my robot works. I present it tomorrow and hopefully get a decent grade. The robot is very simple, although by taking this class I now have a new found respect for anyone who writes computer code. My past few weeks here at Carthage have allowed me to think alot. Which is not entirely a bad thing from time to time. However I've coem to the stark realization that I am indeed a dreamer. I was always afraid that I'd end up like this, my mind wanders more than it used to and I tend to just day dream and escape from the day to day routine. I keep thinking about how I'd help my friends or better their lives if i was filthy rich, how I'd set my parents up in a house that they like and could seek comfort in the fact that they'd be able to stay there till their ends. But the harsh reality of it all is that i am not filthy rich, and as it keeps looking I shall never be. My claim to riches has been the manuscript I've been working on since the 8th grade (six and a half long years) I've worked on it from time to time whern I've had a moment to do so. Sadly I've finished it a few times, only to go back and read it, noticing several places where it needed improvements. Ergo I;ve never gotten it to a point in which I am happy with it. You've all seen me paint a mini...that can take me days, weeks, months even to finish a small figurine, it's taken me six or so years to get this far with a manuscript I'm afraid to show anyone. I just no longer know what to do with it, or with myself in that regard.

Anyway I've tried to keep myself busy here at Carthage, but I've tended to do very little besides day dream and nap with my free time. I've as of late been doing a lot of internet browsing and whatnot and today I checked my AOL e-mail and was accosted by the news stating that Daniel Radcliffe (that's right Harry Potter himself) has moved off the movie screen and onto to stage. In a role that's anything but adolescent. The play is called "Equus" which is Latin for "horse." Radcliffe's role is that of a stable boy, and as the part calls for it he and his female lead counterpart have fully nude scenes *shrug* to each his own. I'm somewhat surprised and at the same time not so much. I'm sure Radcliffe would like to break his type casting of Harry potter as much as he can, and I feel that this role shall do that quite well.
Well that's it for me, I'm back off to nap or something...I truly doubt anyone shall read this considering most of those who even know I have a Blog don't read it or even check it since I post every year or 6 months so... by the time anyone might read this it shall be old news anyway.
G'bye all.
