Stream of Consciousness

I drink a lot of water. I've noticed this. That's all I've been drinking for the past four days, now that I'm so poor that I can't even afford my beloved life-saving Diet Coke anymore.

I have just started to love the show Family Guy. I've been watching it for the past two hours and I think I popped a blood vessel from laughing so hard. It's not as funny as Scrubs, but it's definately coming in a close flipping second.

I miss home.

I still hate my art class.

I want my biology professor to be my mentor. Oh, and I want her to love me enough so that she will want to set me up with her last single son. (Kidding...!)

I'm listening to Journey and eating a Twinkie.

I really like Degree for Women deoderant. It smells wicked delish.

I miss Sarah and our cool nites. (For the love of God, come back to NMU!)

I want to go home and do random science experiments and talk about JFK and PT 109 boats with my brother.

Did you know that one billion seconds is 31.7 years?

I bought a new bra today.

I need to study aerodynamics and build paper airplanes tonite.

My throat hurts. It hurts the way your tongue hurts after you accidently staple it to a wall.

Death to Art!

P.S. I hate my Art and Design class with a fiery passion from hell.

Emily Schmitz: The Story of a Wanna-Be Engineer

My roommate and I got in a discussion last weekend at Michigan Tech. I asked her if she would rather want to be extremely, strinkingly beautiful or really, really, Michigan-Tech worthy intelligent. She told me she would rather be pretty because anything engineering-related doesn't interest her, but I kept challenging and harassing her about the benefits of being a woman who is science and math savvy until finally Liz said, "BASICALLY all you're asking is if we'd rather be pretty or smart." Ohhh... so THAT'S how you ask simple questions! I never knew.

Anyway, obviously, I would rather be Michigan Tech-worthy smart. (It's because I already have all the beauty one person can possibly be blessed with... any more and it just wouldn't be fair to everyone else. HA) I can say I'm a pretty intelligent woman in a lot of areas, especially knowing random facts about really random things (Did anyone know that Alfred Hitchcock didn't have a belly button?) But I am ix-nay on the math and science ability... my sister got all of that, but whatev, I've accepted that AND forgiven my parents for passing those genes along to her. But seriously, I think I would rather go to Michigan Tech more than any other university in the whole world... it's like when I visited Harvard or Yale, you just FEEL smart being in that atmosphere. (Or really out of place...?). But Michigan Tech is in the heart of U.P. splendor, I'm especially fond of the surplus of men, and maybe one day if I accidently walk into an electrical box and become a savant like the Rain Man I'll be able to become a Husky myself.
