13 Facebook

As I watch YouTube Comedy Week(which is not quite kicking off like I hoped..) I have decided to make one of those "25 things about me", like you use to do via notes on Facebook.  But, to keep it going, I am only going to do 13.  I've got a lot on my mind and love to use my blog as a journal.


1. The semester is finally over and yet not?  The grades are out(3.7!) and while I should be chilling for the summer, I have already mapped the summer classes as well as the fall classes.  I feel ever-busy.  And yet I like it.   I appreciate my down time, but I do not want to find myself having too much of it. There is a ton of things I could watch, or read, or play, but I find myself wanting to go to work now that I have found what I want to do.

2. I am pumped for my internship.  I am going to be teaching Digital Literacy courses/programs at a public library.  The way it is set up is that my supervisor teaches for half the semester and I assist- then we switch.  I might be able to utilize my love of music and teach an intermediate class on Spotify! 

3. I'm stoked for summer because I am going to England.  Here I will be taking British Librarianship and get to see many, many libraries.  I already have homework for it!  (Its not until July!)

4. During my trip I am going to spend time in Scotland for a little while(three days at least) Whilst here, I really want to get to know a Scottish man.  They are my Achilles heel.  

5. I plan to spend a lot of time outside of my room in the hopes of meeting Bennedict Cumberbatch, Matt Smith, or an on-par handsome British Gentleman.  ( #romance)  I also have many things I need to see architecture-wise. 

6. I have become hyper aware of my use of contractions.  (Examples of these I use are "don't", "I'm," and "won't.")  I would like to speak more proper English.  Not just because of England, but because it sounds better.  This is sort of the same when I catch myself saying "legit" or "totes."  Yup, it happens.

7.  I really love the fact that I am taking a YA literature class this fall.  It gives me an excuse to read things I might nit normally read.  Currently I am reading Insurgent.  I intend to read a lot more- the goal for the class is 30.

8. I want to complete both the Mass Effect series and the Assassins Creed series.  Mass Effect is on pause until I have more money, I will be playing Assassins Creed II tomorrow.  Its a day off.

9. I was rejected recently.  I was being courted for two months, beginning to let my personal walls down, only to be hard-core turned down.  I've been trying to brush it off, but everyday since(this was in the middle of this week) I have noticed a new aspect everyday.  A new lesson learned, sort of.  Like today, it dawned on me that I finally know I expect in an ideal mate.  This guy matched a lot of them, like a lot.  Too bad he wanted the other girl.  Complete with her child.

10. Men are on my mind constantly.  I have a lot of male friends.  It is easy to do.  And a lot of the BBC men I see(as mentioned above) make it hard not to think about them as well.  Then there's Ryan Gosling, Olan Rogers(YouTube), Nathan Fillion, Jason Siegel, Chris Hemmsworth...  See what I mean?

11.  As much as I miss having a companion(being in a relationship), I do not want that any time soon.  No matter how much I flirt with some of my male friends, I don't want to start anything serious before I go to England.  I have hope that I could meet someone while I am there, even if it is just for a few fun dates, and I don't want to feel tied down to somebody back home.  After the aforementioned #7, I think I am in the clear of my male friends' interested, but I am still going to be careful not to throw off serious vibes.

12. I really miss my college radio days.  While they were only like two days away, I can feel it.  I am constantly listening to the radio to see what's popular, who's new, and what's on air.  Macklemore, Mumford & Sons, Of Monsters and Men, new Phoenix, new Daft Punk, and SO many more.

13. I really miss Jazz Band and Concert Band.  Not so much marching band, except the music was just as cool.  I can technically say that I have been playing for 11-12 years(woah!) but I'm probably very rusty.  I use to be first chair.  If I could find a band to join at URI, I would.  I don't want to pay for a class, I know how to play, but I want back in.  I don't want to lose touch with my alto saxophone skills.


And that's part of my mind, I might think of some more things later- like why in the world did I have a dream about Jude Law that was about hanging out with his family instead of a sexy-time one?  Or, how I have been thinking about picking up creative writing again(I have an idea in mind that involves pirates and author-reader love) or how much fun I have drumming and jamming in my car.  That's all in there too.  Ttfn
