First off, I hate it! After the lecture we had to go around the HUGE track in under 7.5 minutes and then do stretches. If we didn't make it in time the whole group would have to go another two laps. Being the last, as always, I definately didn't want to be at fault for making everyone walk more. So, I started out running, got maybe 1/3 of the way, then walked. Ran about 1/5, walked, ran 1/5, walked, ran for like 10 steps, making it across the line with about a minute to spare. I MADE IT!!! Of course, after that, I stood breathing heavily and actually felt like barfing or fainting. I was barely able to stand the stretches. When I got back the comps were in use so I sat on the couch and counted my heart bpm since it was still racing. 130 to 140 per minute. Not too bad, considering for my age, without weight factoring in, that's okay, b/c the highest it should be is 150. So I'm good. But man can I not breath!
I bought a Sprite last night since I was having trouble breathing (it's getting a bit muggy around here) and hated myself for spending $1 for 20oz. and vowed not to waste money on it anymore. If I want soda I can go to the caf. This morning that was my dinner plan, but seeing as right now I am extraordinarily dizzy and can barely breath, I'm going to go ahead and get a Sprite and have to skip walking down to the caf. I dunno if I'll even have strength to just go to my room for $, back down for soda, and back up to my room to crash.
I have a bit of Composition stuff to read and write, some Bib Surv reading, and maybe some other stuff to do. Plus, room-checks are tonight. So I gotta alot some time to cleaning and vacuuming. Beth is so going to put some more stuff up tonight, even if I have to use Jedi mind-control!
Next week is a second chance to test out of citizenship. I'd like to and could possibly do so, but, even tho I don't want to, I know that I really do need to stay in the class. So, I guess I won't try very hard. Or rather, I'll try, but I won't make it a priority to do so.
Guess that's all for now. Maybe I'll re-start my daily updates (if I ever remember or have the time).
Love ya,

On my way in I was thinking about CSI. I saw my reflection in the door and I thought "Hmm, the way I dress and act, I'm a lot like Sara." So, I started doing a few quizes on Quizilla.com. So far 3 say I'm Sara and 1 says I'm Nick. Okay, one just said Grissom, but it was a weird quiz that didn't really seem to have much to do with the show.
Okay, just forget the number of quizes I've taken. It's a lot. All but two said I'm Sara. The one said Nick and another said Grissom, but that's because I checked hearing problem as a disability (I might as well be deaf sometimes!).
So, today.....
Well, I've had a fairly descent day. I had popcorn for lunch.
I usually leave at 10 till to go to Intro CJ. At 12:46 I saw I had enough time to brush my teeth, coming out of the bathroom the clock said 12:51. One whole minute caused me to go balistic. I grabed my CJ book, stuffed it in my bag, slipped on my huge, clunky shoes, and left for class. I hurried and made it, only to discover class had been cancled. At least that means that the test has been post-poned until Monday.
Speaking of tests. My West. Civ. test today was horrible. I studied hard and new my whole study-guide. Thing is, I apparently misunderstood the syllabus and probably missed half the questions. I'll be lucky if I get a C, which I'm hoping for at least.
Hurdy Gur,

I'm about to go nutso scared that I'm not going to do any good on my Western Civ test tomorrow. Nothing in that class is sticking! So, for the past half hour, I sat at my desk repeatedly reading my study guide out-loud to my tape recorder. I'm even listening to it right now. I plan to listen to it tomorrow durring work since I don't have time between work and class to study. Hopefuly this'll start to stick somehow. I have no idea how many times I read that stuff, but hopefully it's enough.
Beth ordered peperoni pizza earlier. Horrible me, I ate meat! and had a Dr. Pepper. :o(

I went home for the weekend (and Kristi's B-day) and didn't feel like messing with this.
I'm having kind of a bad day. No particular reason, but people are really tickin' me off today. Lovely as that is, I'm going to the David Meece convo. tonight with my Kristi. Imagine, the whole Jones auditorium just filled with people. Loverly!
During my hour break between Bib. Surv. and CJ I read my Comp. assignment about punctuation. Nothing I didn't already know or finally understand last year. Dr. Wilson gave us a copy of this poem. I think it's pretty darn funny stuff:
Spell Chequer
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee four two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
Just a sad note to close on:
John Ritter died on Thursday, September 11, 2003.
Johnny Cash died Friday, September 12, 2003.
May we remember a funny comedian and a good country singer forever.

Fall is in the air and I'm as happy as can be. No, nothing has happened to make me happy, life is the same-old-same-old, but I just love fall!
I got out of EotA early because we had a test and she had nothing else to for us to do. I went over to the post-office, no mail as usual, but on my way back to my dorm i saw a few leaves that had fallen to the ground. I would love to have lingered in the cool breeze, watch the trees, and breathe in the fall air that renews me. Hopefully it will begin to rain soon.
Oh, yes, I just heard the RA telling a guy it's supposed to rain for a week. If only!
Life is always better for me in the fall, no matter what is going on. It's just a beautiful time of year that, were it possible, i would live in all year long.
Hmmmmm.....sigh.......
I love fall.....
Okay, so I suppose I should catch you up on my life some. Nothing new, really. Last night I went over to the Plaster building to watch "The Patriot". Nothing better than Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger fighting for what they believe in. If only Gabriel didn't have to die! I feel so awful when they kill his wife and the villagers. What honor is there in such needless man-slauter?!
Work was long and tiring this morning. We only had one room to clean and no freshens, so Justin and I got it done very quickly. I was kind of disappointed because he wasn't singing, but he finally started singing a Switchfoot song. It's just kinda funny to listen to him sing whatever song may come to mind. Back in the lounge whenever we'd pass each other he'd mack the weirdest face. I told him he was odd and he miss understood me. I think he thought I said "You're on", on what? We talked about what cars we'd like to have when we're rich in the future. My kinda thinker!
I'm going to try to keep this blog on a more positive note from now on. I've got another one called "Red Heart Painted Black" that I'll put all my negativity in. Check it out if ya want!
Well, I suppose that shall be all.

Life Sucks; Yada Yada Yada
Hey! It's me, your ever-lovin' Kelsey!
Do I sound chipper? I'm not.
Work, class, it was all pretty usual stuff. I got in from it all at 4 and took an hour nap before Sabrina/Will and Grace/Darma and Greg/Will and Grace as usual. Halfway thru my nap I heard Beth come in, but I just stayed half-asleep. I wake up, she's not there. Okay, she's at supper. 7 comes along. Oh, maybe she went to the volleyball game. Yeah, okay. Nicole called to say she called. Someone else called, then called back to leave a message. It is now currently 9:30, or there abouts, and I've still seen nor heard any sign of her. Come on, Beth, you're my roommate! Aren't we supposed to bond or spend some quality time together, or some kinda crap like that?
Anyway....
Justin was completly nuts at work today. He just recently got an MCHammer CD and was singing the whole time. It was pretty funny stuff, actually. Dorky white guy singin' Hammer-time. Okay then.
Caroline wasn't wearing her typical jump-suite today. That totally threw me off. Somehow, tho she seems much more human in normal every-day clothes, she looks much more intimidating. I was scared half-to-death of her today. Dunno why, but I was. Totally weird.
I came down earlier and "Pop" was here. Said hi. That was it. Oh yeah, I did see him and say hi this morning while I was working at the CC. We have a lot of indepth conversations, deeply philosophical. How much deeper can you get than a heart felt "hi".
LoL, this is hilarious. I'm in the X-Men RPG with my own originally-created mutant. Her name is Grace Cale, she's blind, got a wacky mutation, part of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and all that jive. So, in the RPG she's sitting at a table with Bobby Drake (aka Ice-Man) at a club, basically b/c it was an empty seat. They've done a little talking. He bought her a Root Beer. Now Bobby has asked Grace to go on a date with him. I coulda cracked up right here. That's a little odd to me. I suppose you could say I'm living vicariously thru a fictional-character. I'm just wondering why I can't get a date if one of my characters can. "Riddle me this."
Just heard Beth come into the building, I think.
Anyway, that's my day. That's my life. And goodnight.
Hurdy Gur,
Kelsey

I did my laundry today. And while I did so I did my Comp. assignment and finally finished chapter one of my CJ book. All I've left is to read my history and start on my BibSurv book. Oh, and good news pertaining to that book. If I recall correctly, I bought that for $12. Dr. Fugitt bought 5 copies for peeps in class who couldn't find it for $15 each. The difference in CPO and that Bible Outlet store here.
Beth has almost everything moved in. And thus far I don't object to her music. It's secular, but it's all the ones I like.
I went to lunch today  after chaple (I've never been sure on that SP). I had corn, nasty greenbeans (either too new or too old), mashed potatos (a bit on the dry side), a biscuit, and gravy (the good grey kind). I also had ice-cream, but I think I need to let back up on that. I'm thinking about coming back for dinner, but that depends on what there is. It'll have to be something really good to get me back over here for a third time today.

I am now sitting in the Computer Lab with a little cup of ice-cream. Why you ask? Oh, you didn't. Well, I'll tell you anyway. I went to supper! I actually went for the cheese pizza, but I ended up staying for the liver. Horrible me! I broke my no meat rule. But, it was worth it because the pizza was as nasty as could be and the liver was perfectly dry, just to my taste.
The pizza-
The cheese was all yellowy and puffy, so I thought it looked really good. Sure, it smelled a bit odd, but cheese is like that. I took one bite and wished I could spit it out. It tasted like they had let milk sit in the fridge and curdle for a year, then dumped it on the crust and cooked it. Yes, I know that is partially how you make cheese, but I mean this junk tasted like soured milk, rather than cheese! I at as much as I could, but it was not worth the walk down here.
The liver-
On the other hand, the liver was worth the walk. I love liver and I loved this big ol' slab. That's all I've to say about the liver.
The ice-cream-
In celebration of my achievement, coming down to the caf for nasty food and sitting by myself with out feeling sorry for myself, I got a lovely little cup of Vanille Bean ice-cream. If you've never had VB, you are so missing out! It's the best. Only problem is, I experimented and added nuts and sprinkles. I ruined it, but that's okay, it's still really good.
I'm procrastinating. I really don't want to go back to my room. It's only 6 and that means forever until tomorrow! I'd try to call Laura, but I can't get thru to her cell phone. I guess that might have something to do with her being out of the country. Ho-hum!
Mayhaps I shall go to Dana's room, yet again, and watch Spider-Man or find another movie I've yet to see. Or maybe, by some fluke of a chance, Beth will have moved all of her stuff over and I won't be alone in my boredom! Yeah, right, doubt that.
Wish I had a car, then I could go to Starbucks and see Justin's group.
Hurdy Gur,
Kelsey

"I'm going to have an old friend for dinner"
I was up till 2:30 last night, which would probably explain why I didn't get up till 1:30 today. I watched Chicago, Men In Tights and Silence of the Lambs. SotL really isn't all that bad, a lot cleaner than From Hell. And all they ever show is small photos, so it's really not all that gross.
I just finished Punch Drunk Love, which, in the long run, is a lot worse than SotL b/c it has a LOT of language. Don't even bother with deleted scenes, I think they had more language than the whole of the movie.
Beth was bringing more stuff in when I woke up. haven't seen her since.
I'm considering going to the caf for supper. They have cheese pizza and the liver sounds very tempting....

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
