Breaking up is hard to do...

Not that I was in a dating relationship or anything, but as you (who's you? who even reads this? comment if u do b/c I don't think I'm talking to anybody...) might know, I will soon be transferring from Sterling College.
Now, this was an uber-hard decision, but after lots of thought, prayer, and opinions, I have finally decided what the course will be for the rest of my undergrad college life. Reasons:
-Much, much, much, cheaper to go to Tomball college for the semester
-Will have a job, so will have steady income.
-Wanted to transfer to a linguistics school, but it was too late by the time I thought abt it, so it's easier to pay for that school if i just get gen eds out of the way at a cheaper college and have a better schedule that will help regiment me to find motivation for my grades.
-Just have a feeling that i've learned what i needed to at Sterling, and feel God is telling me to move on to the next step
-my gut is telling me

So, It was a really hard decision, but my head finally feels clear, and it hasn't felt that way in a long, long, time. I feel this is what I need to do and have accepted my own decision.
I will dearly miss the people at Sterling, but this is something that I have to do.

Reflection upon lyrics

I think the first time I heard this song was when I was 4. I distinctly have a memory of being in my dad's truck, him putting in the tape, and this being my favorite song on there. The song is "All I Really Want" by Alanis Moorisette. Throughout the years, I have yet to grow out of this song. It continues to be one of those songs I can play repeatedly for several years. So, here are the lyrics for those of you who haven't heard of it. [It's also on the playlist if you scroll down a bit (just keep clicking next)]

Do I stress you out?
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate
I don't want to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter

And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
Do I wear you out?
You must wonder why I'm so relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker

And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature
What I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around...all around
Why are you so petrified of silence?
Here can you handle this?


Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction?
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer

All I really want is some peace man
a place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice...

I don't know why this particular song has stuck out to me through all these years, but it has prevailed. Maybe because it's odd, or I really don't know...
If you're interested, other songs that can never get old to me are:
In the Beginning (as used in Anastasia)
Everything You Want - Vertical Horizon

Inspiration amongst the repetitive melancholy...

Well, b/c I made that anime list, I have decided to join myanimelist.net . If you want to look me up my alias is cybunny_lizzie . So....
If you are familiar w/any of my blogs from myspace (long, long, ago) you are familiar that besides the mundane trend of life that presents itself, I also scripted my poetry, prose, etc. I may feel the urge to do this randomly from this point on, so this is your warning. Anyway, also if you are familiar w/that particular piece of bandwidth, you will know that abt april or may of 2 yrs ago I was feeling very very very bored w/life, no matter how much exciting stuff was going on. Now that I have been absent from my job, besides my studies, there is nothing for me to focus my helpless mind on. Heck, even the school stuff is wierd. I feel like I'm in 4th grade again. Nobody that reads this blog (if anybody reads it) will know what that relates to, but none the less, I will blog because I feel like it and I feel I have a right to abuse free bandwidth. :)
So.... some random things....
new air freshner scent - hawaiian floral papaya stuff
halloween weekend - one of the most fun weekends in a long long long time
pink hair - plan to sport it some time
crosswords - bought a book and have been procrastinating with that b/c I am tired of fb and it's too cold to ride my bike and I don't really feel like watching another amv or anime right now...
D.I. - yeah, I need to work on that....
bye

For the geeks:

- I really don't know if Avatar is technically an anime, but if it is, then it's up there






As far as manga goes, I'd have to say (for girls at least):
1. Chibi Vampire
2. Fruits Basket

Well, there you go! If you find yourself on youtube w/spare time or at a bookstore looking for something interesting to browse, then remember this list.

Mis clases y vida colegio en general

Aren't u glad I'm not typing the actual blog in spanish? lol. Btw, if you don't know, that means "My classes and college life in general"

1. Mass Media, Self, and Society
2. Forensics Lab
3. Public Speaking
4. Foundation of Servant Leadership (H)
5. Concepts of Physical Fitness
6. Physical Science (w/concurrent Lab)

So far college is going great, we have to squeeze like 13 ppl at our lunch table. They're awesome, crazy, and I love 'em. I think I told you abt my roomies in my last blog....
It's great living on campus, and I can walk or ride my bike to everywhere in town, so I'm getting some exercise. Oh, and I live on the 2nd floor so I'll have some built calves by the end of the semester, ha ha. ....
Pink hair! darn. I was uploading a picture but it didn't work. If u have my facebook the pic's on there. It's just a small section, but I'm trying out different colors to see what works best, and then I may put in some semi-permanent stuff.

um.... I thought I had more to say, but I really don't. We've just been watching movies every weekend and stuff like that. We did go to the KS state fair 2 days ago tho. It was fun, but I didn't get to go on any rides. :( s'ok b/c a lot of people had homework. Right now, college isn't anymore difficult than high school, but we'll see how that goes toward the middle of the semester.

I really like it though. Oh, and there's this program our college is part of called "Best Semester" where you get to study abroad. I'm thinking of going to Russia or Costa Rica either 2nd sem soph or 2nd sem jr, b/c there's a language studies class I'm taking 1st sem jr yr. If I go on the trip to Russia, I'll be abt 7 hrs away from Zina and Marina!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited. :) But of course, I'm only 1/3 of the way through the 1st semester. If even that. Yeah, like 3 weeks. So, i'll tell u if anything comes up.... that's it for now.

P.S. Animes recently watching: Bleach (10?), Shakugan no Shana (2) , and MHS (2)

Scaling the Andes

Andes mints that is. :) I had a box of 28 mints and ate the whole thing in 2 days. Whoops. Oh well.
Anyway, transition into college is a cinch so far. My roomies are all wonderful : there's Kaitie, Alex, and Sarah (all from KS). Besides the fact that it's always at least a 15 degree diff between here and houston, it's all right. My classes are pretty interesting so far. All except Physical Science b/c so far it's really easy, and the fact that all my other classes are in the morning and this one class is at 2:10 everyday. The good thing is that I only have a max of 3 classes a day.
I can walk to class for everywhere I need to go, and the town is so small that I ride my bike practically everyday. So, I like it so far.
On a different note, this weekend I'll be traveling to Tyler, TX (around there anyway) to go to the Center for Creative Media) which I strongly considered applying to. It's for the ppl interested in media production and such. I'll already know the campus, and they're an awesome organization so I think it'll be fun.
Now, in lull of all this crazy college life, I still miss all my tomball ppl dearly, just so u know. ;)

I think that's all I have to report right now. TTYL!
