BEDA ends (again)

Good-bye, August. Hello, September.

School is coming along nicely. I have a varying amount of homework thus far but I haven't had any trouble getting things done and have already gotten ahead on things as well. I'm sure Friday I'll work super hard to get literally everything done I can so my three day weekend can be as awesome as possible.

The most important event of today was probably starting to study for my entrance exam. It's basically going to test my knowledge and aptitude of journalism. I have a few issues w/ this exam, the biggest one being that it will supposedly test us on current events and how government works. Civics, one might say. Here's the thing: I don't ever plan to write on those kind of current events. Ever. To me it seems like an absolute waste of time. You may think I am ridiculous to say "never ever" but that is 100% how I feel about it. Civics and government, while important, hold my interest for very short amounts of time, times which are in no way long enough to get me to write about such things. We'll see how that goes.

Today I've been in a major YouTube music phase. I've been listening to Greg Holden, Julia Nunes, Nice Peter, Chameleon Circuit, Tom Milsom, and Hank Green all day. There are just so many wonderful musicians on YouTube. I wish I could mention them all.

Another exciting thing that happened today was that I wore my booshoe37 t-shirt and got lots of compliments on it! It made me feel really special and really excited to be friends w/ Matthew. I told all of them to look him up on YouTube. I really hope they do. That'd be awesome.

Last YouTube video I watched: How to Become An Adult

I got a package!

And before you lot get all excited: No, it was not from Scotland like the previous package was. (Though I was hoping for a letter today, this kind of makes up for it.)

Instead, I got a little something special from my friend Matt. No, not my best friend Matthew from freshman year. This is BooShoe37 Matt. He designed t-shirts and I ordered one! It came today, along with a Harry Potter silly band. And a cute little note!

Becca already thinks I'm crazy but watch the video of me opening the package and tell me Matt and I aren't real friends. You can't fake excitement like that.

Last YouTube video I watched: Blue Skies - Bar on A (Greg Holden)

In it to win it

Yeah, that's right. I'm feeling hardcore about blogging again. (Take that, Becca!) I will be blogging every day. Guaranteed. I figure now is a good time to explain that while I'm road tripping back home I might not have Internet for a few days, so even if I don't post anything by the end of those actual days, know that I have stuff written down in a journal from the specific day that will be posted to make up for it.

It was a pretty good day to say the least. I got free Hawaiian pizza and an apple. I had lunch w/ my fandom friend Hannah at which time she tried to convince me to go to LeakyCon. (It's a decision that's been killing me, though in the end I don't think I'll be able to make it happen.) I had my last Spanish class of the semester and I got a 93 on the test we took and corrected; class even ended early. Even with class ending early, it still took me until about 3:30 to finish my big geography project that's due tomorrow. We got to use this cool program call ArcMap that's basically a geography nerd's dream. When I got back to my apartment I decided to eat some German chocolate crunch ice cream; it was awesome.

And now here I am, bloggin' it up. I've watched a few videos while writing this, all by the lovely Matthew, aka booshoe37, who I am pretty much in "YouTube love" with, meaning I have to watch all his videos and sometimes we talk in comments and I tweet about stuff he does and sometimes he responds. It's a great relationship. (Honestly though, I like to think that Matt and I would be friends in real life.)

Can you guys even believe that we're already a week into BEDA? I've blogged seven days in a row! It feels great. Disregard last night's lameness.

And one last thing for today: I know I wrote an entire post about my birthday but I never showed you guys this epic video that explains how great the night REALLY was. Enjoy.
