Mood: buzzed

so i turned 21 three hours and three minutes ago (irish time) and washed it down with a large mouthfull of bushmills blackbush irish whisky. damn thats nice stuff. and after i get some sleep im going to go into belfast and buy myself something pretty, im thinking a skirt or fancy top. and while mom is sending me package, i dont think its gonna be birthday stuff. thats waiting till i get back to the states. so after a couple shots of whisky im pleasently reading fanfic and am probably going to go to bed soon. cant wait to get back to the stats and actully go places and have a social drink with friends. i can actully go to my sisters b-day party and not get kicked out of the bar for being under 21... that sucked. so yeah, this is my birthday ramble. enjoy yourself, whenever/whoever reads this.

so i had a hellinsh traveling expierience.
step one, getting to the twin cities; ok so this part wasn't so bad exept i had a strange conversation that didn't solve anything.
step two, getting to chicago; well i got through security fine, and had an hour to kill at the gate, so with a full stomach and a 1.5 hour flight i was fine, then bus was being stupid in chicago and i was stuck on the tarmak for 2 hours in minneapolis. we finally get into the air ad it was pretty coming into chicago at twilight, it almost made me forget anout the connecting flight to newark i was sure i had missed.
step three, getting to newark; SHOCK!!! the flight i was supposed to have boarded two hours previous was getting in to the gat whe i got into the gat so i didn't miss it. it actully went ok, even if i couldn't sleep because the captain was doing something weird that made me nausas...
step four, getting to belfast; a tad mor difficult then all of the other legs of the trip. the flight i was supposed to take had left at 9:20, the last flight that went ti ireland left at 10:10, i got i at 11:05. so because the flight i was on was only an hour and ahalf, and was supposed to be during not meal time (but it was) i got no dinner that night because the airport was pretty wellshut down, and it was almost midnight by the time i was in my room at the hotel the airline had given me, i got very little dinner (read: vending machine food) the next day my flight was at 9:20 again in the evning, but i had to wake up to check out at 12:00 noon. i got to the air port and again went through security fine, got myself a new boarding pass, and went hunting for food. which i found, but the food voucher the ariline gave me didn't work in that terminal because they were american airline not continental... stupid airlines. i bought a decent sci-fi book and buisied myself for 9 hours. the fight was kinda sucky, i was skwushed next to a fat guy, and on the way down one of my ears refused to pop.
step five, getting to uni; i managed this with considerable ease knowing the bus and train routes fine, but i also realzed what being up for 20 hours does, it makes you tired.
and yay, i have a tes in fifteen,
got to go.

Mood: pissed off

so im tinking about transfering.. again. augsburg isn't recognizing half of my abroad classes anf the ones that they are recognizing are not tword my major. or if thye are, i still need to take all of the classes i would have needed to take if i hadn'e gone abroad. fuck. so my mom suggested looking at the UofM architecutre 5-year program to transfer into. and the sad thing is that it would be worth it if i can get in as a second or third year student. i just really don't like the idea of transfering yet again. but if i transfer there, they would be more likly to recognize all of the classes im taking here in ireland. fuck my academic life is screwed up.

Mood: cranky

well i just booked my flights home (there are three of them...)
and it was more expensive then i would have liked it to be, but cheaper than it could have easily been. so all in all, i think i did well. i will be back at 10:02 pm in minneapolis on dec 21. sadly i think i will only have a couple weeks home (this makes me cry. a lot) on account that we only getr three weeks for break, i am visiting london and i am not alowed to be late returning because exams begin the 7th of january.
yes. you can kill me now..
but i have to finish up some homework woes and do something to get rid of this headach that has sprung up as a result of 2.5 hours of trying to find flights.

so its been a while, ubt since beth is the only one who reads this i guess it could be worse. by the way beth, do just want to give me your e-mail so i can send you the big e-mails when i write them?
back to topic. school is keeping me busy-ish. i have six classes but its not too bad, a lot of homework time is class time instead. and i find it hilarious that i have a five page paper on timber due in two weeks. nothing to monumental has happened since i got myself settled in. ive been hanging out with lots of other forign people, as the irish people are all of in thier little (ok not so little) corner. time to go now though, the germans are having a bbq

Mood: drained

hello everyone.
my first time on a computer since i left home on sunday. i still dont have internet in my room so it will be a bit till im on aim or messenger. i spent the first two nights in a really nice hotel with a terrible bed, and the next three nights in navan which is in the republic. and yes it is true that they have tea almost every chance they get. i share my apt. with for other girls, two have yet to move in, one is from japan the other from iowa.
and the campus is modern style... grrr. its hard to find things. the library is nice tho.

i register for classes tomarrow, and i need to go grocery shopping today.

oh and PLEASE respond in some way if you read this, other wise ill believe that no one is listening to me and it will stop. :)

so my kitchen has a mouse, but as far as i can tell its not eating any of the food so no problem there, i also haven't noticed any droppings. but at 11:00 pm i hear screming downsatirs so i go check it out. apparently the mouse made an apearance and scared the shit out of my two roomies down there. on e was standing on a chair to do dishes... the other taking refuge on the couch. girls are pathetic. these are lso the girls who didnt want to touch molly, again scared. GAHHH girls are wimps.

AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!
so im not going to scotland, they dont like that i have so little background in architecture. queens university in belfast doesnt like that either, so i probably wont go there. ulster university might take me, it depends on what other classes i need too. ive got a new guy to handle my app. and he seems more helpful then the last woman. i need to put together an art portfolio too, easy stuff, and probably write another couple papers.

but in the mean time, HELL, i dont know what country im gonna be in in three months. my suggested transfering to the main U for their architecture program, which might be a good idea if i cant go abroad. hell, why cant life ever be some semblence of kind.

and i gotta go back to work in a half hour to finish off my thirty hour week, then race home shower then race downtown for a bus to duluth and probably have to sit next to another guy who reeks.

so lots of shit happening. friends having meltdowns, money sucking royal holy ass, and now it is a surity that i am not going to scotland. i still have a chance at belfast ireland, but its so late i dont think its even worth getting my hopes up. money sucks all holy ass because i didnt realise that i wasnt working enough, hell maybe i am, but my checks have only been $300 or so. i needed a $75 advance to cover rent and just enough groceries to cover a week. my checking acount has $0.14 in it until tomarrow and only change for cash, and now i have to police my hours. fuck, isnt life grand.

on a poositive note i went to the library yesterday and now have decent etertainment for the next few weeks.im going up to duluth this weekend and hopefully life will settle into soomething nicer after i get back.

and if you havent heard me say it before, i hate money

hi, don't know if anyone reads this anymore, but oh well

i am hunting for sulbleting apartments in dinkytown and found one a few blocks from work, where i will be sending much time this summer. the lease ends in august, and i will go live in duluth till i go to scotland, hopefully. otherwise i can find an apartment and get an actual lease, not just a sublet. anyway, its 400 a month and seems like a good idea, woot.
its snowing outside, they say were supposed to get 2-4 inches. i dont think i believe them. getting behind in art again, and just put two pieces in for a juried expedition, i could win $50. i wont really, but you never know. i have a ton of stuff due starting next week, and then i have a shit load of other tings to figure out. woot

... my rant ended
