Nature Walk

In place of my classes usual lab we had to go on a nature walk. While on the walk we talked about what tropic levels certain animals and plants were. Jodi and I had to meet our partner since we didn't know where this nature park was. We were parked at a grocery store. Since we had thirty minutes we decided to look around. It was really clean and I found a Hello Kitty thermos with a snack compartment! I bought it and now I am a lot more eco-friendly. I will be using less plastic bottles and instead using my awesome hello kitty thermos! I'll try to take a picture of it soon. When we got to the park it was relatively good. It wasn't till we actually got on the trail that I realized how unprepared I was. I didn't wear a long sleeved shirt and proceeded to be a buffet for all the hundreds of mosquitoes that dined on my blood. I didn't wear lace up sneakers but I didn't have any clean socks that day. My feet didn't hurt, the shoes I had one still had support but there were a few times that I slipped on a rock and I felt I was about to come out of my shoe. During the start of our walk it began to rain. I didn't have a jacket or hoodie so I got wet. But luckily there were half naked frisbee players who made the rain acceptable! le sigh... Any who we walked for 2 miles. At least that's what the pamphlet said. I don't know if that meant I walked a mile and then turned around or I walked 2 miles and turned around. But I'll tell you my legs sure do hurt like I did walk 4 miles.When we did turn around to go back about six of us decided to take the short cut. Which wasn't really a short cut, the only upside was not having to go "up hill" as much. The down side was the trail was very narrow. You had to walk single file. Absolutely no side by side walking on this trail. It had many rocks that you had to walk over or around, and always the constant threat of falling to your rocky watery death. Luckily I did not fall and die. It also started to rain again which made the dirt trail muddy which made it slippery. We *luckily* made it to the end right as the rest of the class did. (sucky short cut) We were all completely tired by the end of it, except for our professor who seemed rather perky. The whole experience made me feel out of shape. When I was a little girl you could have put me in that tom-boy stereotype. I went outside after breakfast and didn't come back in till dinner. Now it seems I get tired to often. I am trying to fix that though.

Well Lovelies I have a lunch date to be getting to.
I hope you all have a unique weekend!

Rats & Skittles

I wasn't really feeling well when I woke up this morning but I had already missed two days of class so I dragged my butt out of bed (My really really comfy bed) and got ready to go. The Boyfriend is still not feeling well so he stayed home while I went. Road construction that hasn't even started yet slowed traffic down. It took me a little longer to get there today but I was still early. I happened to run into the really sweet girl who gave me her notes from the previous days I had missed. I bought her a box of Skittles with a thank you note stuck to it to show my appreciation.I kept yawning during class. Luckily I have a funny teacher who for the most part kept my attention. She mentioned how rats can absorb their babies if they don't want to have them. It's amazing how we can get on these subjects but I'm glad we do. It mellows out the mood of the class. She also told a hilarious story of how her Husband met her sister. Her sister made the comment that she had small ears like a deer. In reality deers have rather big ears for their size. Her husband mentioned this and said that Hippopotamuses have small ears. Of course being a woman all she heard was herself being compared to a hippo. Not a good first start. I've been resting for the remainder of the day. I feel like I have no energy to do anything but I have a mile long list of things to do in my head. They will have to wait I suppose. I'm going to have to start Dinner soon. We are going to have hamburgers, fries, and of course sweet tea. Oh and something else to look forward to! My science lab is meeting at a nature park. So many many pictures will come out of that afternoon. Let's just hope I can find it with out any troubles.


I hope everyone had a terrific Tuesday!

Top Five Dislikes about College

I thought I would put together a list of the top 5 things that irritate me about College. I also thought about making emoticons of my own. ^ .^ we will see how that goes.

1. Rent-A-Cop: Guy who will race you to your car just to give you a parking ticket for forgetting to put your card in the window.


2. That strange girl who sits in front of you but turns around and rudely stares at you. (Can be a guy but usually is a girl)


3. People who talk really loud on their cellphone right behind you.


4. Death Cloud! People who blow smoke in your face or in your general direction


5. NO PARKING!!

Movie Reviews

I recently saw Gamer and 9 in theaters and before I start...have I just not been to the movies in a long time or are movies coming through faster. For instance 9 came out 10 days ago and it was already in the back of the theater on a small screen...with only 9 of us in there. The same went for Gamer, it hasn't been out long either maybe a little bit more than 10 days and it was in the back on a small screen with maybe 12 of us in there...? I guess if you don't go the day it comes out you are bond to the back of the theater. hahahaha

Anywhooo getting on to the reviews

I'll start with 9 since that was the movie I originally wanted to see. If you have had the chance to see the trailer and hear it say "this is not your little brother's animated movie" it's true. There is a machine "The brain" and the scary part is that it is a tech-brain it thinks on it's own and builds all these monsters from spare metal parts and spare bones (human and animal) . When the robots it sends fail it makes more..better ones. I wouldn't take a child to the movie, for instance one scene there is a baby doll head-snake-seamstress robot that has one of the dead sack people on the end of it as a lure and it's face gets smashed in with a crank. I can just see the nightmares coming for a little kid.



One high point for me about the film was that the character who kicked the most robot butt was the ONLY girl sack-person in the whole movie. She was 7 and you can kind of think of her as a rouge character since she doesn't follow the leader.

There were a few things that puzzled me through the film. There were many explosions and not once did these sack-people catch on fire. Another point I wasn't quite sure on was if they could feel pain at all. In one scene the girl (7) gets a metal rod shot through her leg (for anyone else that in it's self would have done it) and then the rock they're on starts shifting. Two of the sack-people grab a hold of the string attacked to the rod ( okay rod in leg-people hanging on by it ) did she show any sign of pain or anything....Nope she just needed to be sewn up and she was good as new.

I'm not going to ruin the ending for you but I will mention that I didn't expect what happened.



On to GAMER!!! ROAR!! Gamer is what Gamer is. It's an adrenaline movie; explosions, fighting, and boobs.

There isn't really anything profound or intense to say about the movie since it is what it is. If you are looking for a high-action based movie I would suggest you watch it. I didn't like the ending, I felt like it happened to "easy".

There were little parts that I thought were either funny because it actually happens in games (getting stuck, lagging, corpse-humping)and then things that I thought were just plain cool.


A few down sides for me were that when it starts to get to the end you stop seeing certain characters...and you're left with (well what happened to that guy...did she die?) So that was aggravating for me.

What's your Eco-Footprint?

CLICK HERE TO SEE YOUR ECO-FOOTPRINT

Your Ecological footprint tells you how much it takes to sustain you along with how much waste you produce. I'm not showing you this or asking you to do this to dictate how you live or make you feel bad about how you live. I just want everyone to know and feel the same way I felt when I took this test. It will tell you how many Earths it would take to sustain the human race if everyone lived the same way as you. It would take about 5 Earths if everyone lived like me. My number wasn't as bad as some people in my Environmental Science class. One man would need close to 45 Earths. But none the less, we only have 1 Earth and we are using it up fast, we actually use 30% more resources than what we have right now.

I retook the test to see what it would take to not use more that 1 Earth....
+ Vegetarian diet
+ Recycle EVERYTHING
+ Not driving more than 100 km or 62 miles for a WHOLE year. (no flying or buses or trains)
+ Buying EVERYTHING from local farmers (no fresh markets or super stores)
+ living within your means
+ Not using a lot of water
+ No electricity at all (only oils or wood)
+ Not using a clothes dryer but having them air dry outside.

WOW.
