Packing It Up!

So here I am packing shit up and getting it together to go out to Cali for the week. I’ve also taken the time to clean up a bunch of shit that’s just been laying around for a long time. Stuff left over from my relationship with Adam (Pictures here and there, etc.). Not that I’m taking them down, just moving them and stuff like that.

I’m also cleaning off my bookshelves of stuff that I’ve accumulated over the years, Boy Scouts and gays, hot boys, etc. Nothing to interesting, but I’ve already thrown out two garbage cans full of shit.

Now I’m cooking pasta to take with me tomorrow. Yummy!

In other news there’s been a few things that I’ve been meaning to write about…. First is the Sexopedia, which I think would be a fun book to have.

Secondly in sex class the other day, we were talking about porn and shit, and someone asked the question if women are turned on my two guys going at it, like men are turned on by two women going at it… It was hilarious because the professor started going off about some study and then like the WHOLE population of women in the class just screamed out….. “NO!!!”

It was really funny.

Then later in class, the prof put up a picture of an obviously a guy on the bottom (You could see his penis) and then someone on the top (All you could see was back and butt.) I immediately said…”That guy has a nice ass.” And wasn’t two worried that it was a homosexual couple.

It was up there a couple seconds, more then enough time for people to initially react to it being two guys… When the professor said, “That’s a homosexual couple.”….. As soon as he said that you could hear a majority of the guys going, “Gross” or “Ewwww” or something along those lines.

It was really annoying because JUST THE DAY BEFORE we had had a gay panel come in and talk about homophobia and stuff and the WHOLE week before we talked about gay issues. It really disturbed me that the class obviously hadn’t listened or taken anything away from that class. Very annoying.

Also Tuesday we had a group meeting for my MGMT group, I don’t remember if I complained about it, but only three of five group members showed up. And the two that were missing were the two that typically DON’T show up. So the three of us sent out an e-mail (which I wrote) saying:

Hi Everybody,

We seem to be having a problem with everyone attending group meetings as
well as class. We also do not hear from people when they do miss class.

Just in case anyone hadn’t noticed we do have a large project coming due
soon (3 weeks) and we really need everyones participation at the fullest,
as this project can’t get done witout it.

We have already assigned each of you a part in the project to do, but have
yet to see any outcomes from your labors.

From now on, if you are going to miss a class or a group meeting we ask
that you please send the group an (email@groupemail.com) e-mail so that
we will know and can plan accordingly. Also in your e-mail please include
any infomation which you have found along with any write-ups you have done
for the project.

We also sent out this e-mail to our member gone missing (Haven’t seen or HEARD from her in WEEKS)
We have not heard from you since the test, if we continue to not hear from
you by the end of this week, we will have to assume that you have dropped
the class and discuss with Monica actions needed to remove you from our
group presentation.

Please be in contact with us (email@groupemail.com) as soon as possible.

Which I admit, those might be a little mean, but we felt it needed to get the groups ass in gear. We have a VERY short time to write this paper which is a HUGE portion of our grade (LIke 30%) and it’s NOT an easy paper to write….

Well we got this e-mail back from our group member today….

hey guys
i know i have missed several classes and i apologize for it and hope for your
forgiveness.  my absences are partly due to depression and lack of motivation.
i was diagnosed with depression four years ago due to my diabetes and family
history of it.  my depression is not something that i like to share, but in this
case it is important that everyone knows about my medical condition. i have
seen my doctor and have gotten my medication switched around and am starting to
feel like myself again.
don’t worry about my contributions to the group projects.  i am researching and
typing things up so i am doing my part. i am not going to leave you guys
hanging. i am going to try to get back to class this week and will hopefully
not miss anymore.

again, i am sorry for any inconvenience this is causing you guys.

Ok, first off, I’m sorry she’s depressed and un-motivated… But she shouldn’t have waited THIS FAR INTO THE SEMESTER to say something to our group. This is very rude of her I feel, and is there was such a problem she should have SAID something to us LONG before now so that we could have known and helped and talked to her about her part of the project. Instead of NOT RESPONDING to e-mails and not coming to class and missing group meetings.

Secondly, because she’s depressed is NO REASON to have missed so much class or so many group meetings. I was severly depressed ALL THROUGH HS but the ONLY times I ever missed class was when I was actually SICK. I understand what it’s like to be depressed and maybe even suicidal, but that’s no excuse for not contributing to a group project. Also if she’s this bad off, maybe she shouldn’t be in college, and should be taking time off to get her life together.

Third, is she’s actually working, then WHY has she NOT responded to ANY group e-mails about tasks, or sent us ANY type of corrospondence letting us know she’s working. I highly doubt that she is working, and will be very anxious to see what we have in store.

Alright, end of my ranting about that.

Tonight we had a group meeting for my Yucatan class, and Omar admitted that his “roommate” was gay. He also asked me if I went out to Redlight this weekend, even asked what day I would have gone out when I told him I hadn’t. I wonder if he was there. I just wish he would wear a sticker saying “Straight/Gay”. Grrr.

Other then that, my night has been pretty Blah!

OH, I also talked to my History prof today… Who by the way Stuck her tounge out in class and said, “My tounge is HUGE”. It was completely random and hilarious!… Well the point of this story though is that, I talked to her and she said that even though I didn’t do the best on my mid-term (39/50) I’m still doing bery good, so that’s exciting. Also she gave me a thing to make up the participation that I’ll be missing next week, so I have to get that done.

Well Laters all.

A Chat With Mother

So last night my mother called me asking about a time that would be good for a family photo.

During the conversation she brought up that I might be moving like right after graduation. I told her I’d be here for like a month after graduation at the least. She said that I should let her know if I needed any help moving and she’d take time off work. I then asked her… “If I pay for gas, would you drive me and my stuff out there.” She said we could “Work something out.”

She then went on to say that we might just sell all my stuff now and buy me all new shit once I got there, depending on how much it’ll cost to move all the shit. She also said that we can pull a trailor with her truck, which should be a ton cheaper then renting a real truck thing to do it. So I have to call today and check that out.

But the selling/buying idea seems the best to me. I mean all the shit that i REALLY need can fit into my car… IE, Computers/Clothes. Everything else that I have will fit in around it. (Pictures, books, etc) and the rest isn’t nessecary stuff. (Couch, bed, etc.)

Though Andrew said that he’d take the couch if I didn’t want it. So we’ll have to see about getting it out there and whatnot.

Also more plans on the whole moving thing. Last night Andrew called me and said that Byron might/does need a roomie. IT’s a two bedroom and there’d be three of us sharing, I’d have a single room. I guess Byron’s seen it and it’s nice. So I’m seriously contemplating that. Though I don’t know how well I’d enjoy living with roomies after living by myself for a year. But it’s a really good idea because it’d give me more then enough time to get my feet on the ground. And if things work out, and I move there in June, I’d still have like the 2 months free rent with living with Andrew.

So this is a really positive looking thing. I’m going to meet Byron and check out the place next week while I’m there. Hopefully I’ll have final decisions by the end of April. I guess I’ll have to have them by then… Eh.

So everything there is looking up. And I can’t wait to get out there next week.

I just set up my interview for Tuesday at 11, so that’s sweet action.

And it’s currently 85 there… Woot! I can’t wait.

Laters all.

Drunk Man

Well this weekend has been pretty good really. I haven’t done anything which is sad, because I really wanted to go out with Justin or do something at least.

Friday night I just stayed at home and talked to Andrew. We had a good chat, and he said some things that made me feel really special. That night was a good night to talk to him and I think we got things cleared up for good this time.

Saturday I got up, and changed my oil. I noticed that the tranny was oily and that seemed wrong to me. So I took it into the Saturn Dealer and they looked at it real quick. They said that it was leaking, but it’s nothing to worry about yet, because they can’t just fix the leak. They’d have to replace the whole thing which is about $300. So they said to wait tell I have to start filling the tranny with oil and then bring it in to have it fixed. So I’m going to have to keep checking the tranny fliud level now.

I came home after that and just spent the rest of the day laying around the house and doing nothing.

Saturday night Justin still didn’t want to do anything, which I’m a bit sad about. So I went to JJ’s. I was sitting there studying trying to figure out what I need to do for my MGMT class project and some crazy drunk guy came up to me and asked for some paper.

I gave it to him, then he sat down and started talking to me. He sat there talking to me for like an hour, and drew a picture of me. It was really crazy and he was so drunk. Though the pic did turn out pretty good. So that’s interesting.

Went to the porn store after that, and then to wal-Mart where there was a really hot boy. Well the story here is that Wal-Mart has a better selection of Condoms then the porn store does.

Went home and went to bed.

Today I got up about 10ish and ordered grad invitations. Came back to Ames, and unpacked stuff. Now I’m trying to do hw, but not doing too good.

It’s amazing that it’s been a year since the breakup… I was kinda hoping to run into Adam last night, but who knows if he still ever goes to JJ’s. It’d be interesting to sit and talk to him for a while and see how his lifes going… Since he never seems to elaborate on his LJ.

Well, laters all.

Public Transport

Ok, I’m back, it’s a few hours later. I guess I’ll go ahead and start off at what we did this morning. Obviously we did the normal breakfast thing, and then went off to our first stop, which were some really cool ruins, I mean, like these were just amazing to see these old old temples and stuff all around the place.

The first one we couldn’t climb, but we went back in farther and they just kept getting cooler and cooler. Finally we got all the way back to the last one and it was absolutely HUGE, a bunch of us climbed it, it was probably like a couple hundred feet tall. And the view from the top was the most amazing thing I’ve seen in a long time. The only other place that I’ve seen such a great view was from the top of the Tooth of Time in Philmont. I took a great panoramic picture from up there, I just wish that I could do the panoramic thing now so that I can see how it all turns out.

The steps though were so steep and coming back down I though i was going to fall and die. lol. But we all made it down safe and sound. After that we went back to the front and I bought three shirts for $100 pesos. I hope that the people I got them for like them. After I got home I noticed that one of them wasn’t the one that I wanted, but it’s still cute I think. I really like the one I got for my dad, and I want to keep it for myself. But I’ll have to give it to him.

Umm, after that we went to these other ruins which were really neat. Not as cool as the first ones, but still really cool. The steps there were like 10 times more steep though.

It was ungodly hot out everyone, and my arms finally are starting to get some sun, which is nice.

Umm, there’s really not to much to say about the ruins, except that they were ruins and really cool. I wished that Andrew could have been there because they were some cool fucking ruins, and he would have really enjoyed the history behind them and stuff, at least I think that he would have. I took a shit load of pictures for him to see. So far it’s over 800 pics total for my camera since I bought it and almost 200 just for this trip alone. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the week brings.

After we got back from the ruins we went swimming, at least a small group of us did. It was really cold in the pool though so we didn’t stay long. Once we were all done hanging out there I went and showered and then wrote that previous entry.

Since then I’ve been a bit sad. I went out front to just sit and ran into a couple people, and asked what they were doing. one of them was going to an internet cafe, so I told her that I wanted to go do that too. But we had a few other things to do real quick like first. Well those things took a bit longer, so by the time I got to the internet cafe I just had enough time to leave him a quick message on his journal. Though Sulie (sp?) who was with me needed to use the computer and after I was done, I just sat there and cried a little, because just seeing his journal again, and reading about what he’s been doing, even though his updating has sucked since I’ve been gone, just made me miss him a lot more.

After that I came back and listened to a little bit of the cranberries before I had to run to this thing, and write my journal entry for the night. I don’t really have much more to say about the whole trip, but eh. whatever.

I don’t really feel like I fit into any of the groups of people. I mean, we have Aaron and Liz, but they’re together, so I always just feel like the third wheel. then there’s Omar, Tyron, and Joe, and they’re always going off, but I never seem to really get invited to come with them, so yeah. Then there’s Tim, who’s a major outcast and I can’t stand, so I don’t really talk to him.

Then there’s all the girls, which I’m getting along with. We’ve all made plans to go to the Redlight sometime after we get back, I think that will be fun. But at the same time I just don’t really feel like I fit in completely there either. It always seems like they’re going out and doing stuff while I just sit in my room. Oh well, I mean it’s only a week and we all can’t spend every minute of every day with each other, other wise they’d just annoy me even more then they already do.

I also really wish that I could blab more about Andrew, like I bring him up every once in a while, it seems as though all the girls are getting married, or have lt’s, but then once I bring up Andrew they all seem to get uncomfortable. Which is a little annoying, I mean I can understand some of it, but they all seem semi ok, and semi not ok. Who knows really.

But I do really miss drew bear and i want to move there so badly in June. I can’t wait to see him in April, and I really want to just spend the whole layover in Houston talking to him. That’d be really nice.

Tomorrow we’re going to villages, which I’m understanding are like a 2-3 hour bus ride out to them. Now that seems hellish, and it IS hellish mostly because we’re taking PUBLIC transportation, AND it’s not air conditioned. I have NO idea what we are going to do out in these villages all day, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens in the whole thing.

Oh, I forgot to mention. We found out the other day that they have 11 inches of snow in Iowa today. How sucky is that! I’m so glad that I’m in Mexico…(I just wrote Cali, deleted it, wrote it again… How messed up am I).

Well, laters all.

First Night

Well here we are in Merida. We’ve been here for about 4 hours now. Security at the airport wasn’t all that bad, though my bag did get searched. It was kinda funny cause you walked up and pushed this button, and it was like a stop light. If you got a red you had to be search, green was good to go. lol Very cute.

The flight in wasn’t too bad. Though I kept breaking out in tears. I really hate not being able to talk to Andrew for a whole week. I don’t know HOW we are going to handle a whole semester when he goes. Perhaps he’ll call me and be like, I think you should come, and I’ll be like,, I don’t think so, then I’ll be like, well I thought about it, and I’m coming now. lol. That seems to be how it always works out. Though I did come out to one of the girls today. We were walking down the thing to the airplane together and she was standing there when I told Andrew bye, and she was like, “You going to miss your girlfriend” and I was like, “Well not exactly girlfriend” and then she was like, “ohhhh.” it was really funny. Apparently she too is doing the whole long distance thing.

I’m really excited about being here and I still can’t believe that I am here. Driving back from the airport was hell, the drivers here are absolutely crazy. Like the all drive ON the lines, instead of in-between them. And people are all honking their horns and shit. it’s craziness. The city looked really pretty dirty from the road, and from the huge amount of walking around we did tonight it seems as though it might be. But still really pretty.

There is a bit of an odd smell to the area though, I think it’s just from the humidity, but who knows really. Anyways, after we got here we got our room numbers and stuff. My room is nice, though the AC isn’t the best. Like everyone else has really nice new ACs, but we have this shitty little thing.

After that we went to this pizza place across the street and it was REALLY good pizza. Yummy! lol. There were also some people playing music and lots of little kids wondering around selling things like roses and stuff. It was pretty crazy.

From Dinner we came back to the hotel and were told the daily plans. I’m a bit annoyed by them because they want us at breakfast EVERY MORNING at 7:30, but we don’t start our tours tell 8:45. It’s just really annoying that we have to be there that early. I mean, we want to go out at night and see stuff too. LIke tonight, most of us have been up since 4am, or earlier and still went out. And here they are wanting us up at 7:30. We got a wake up call for 6:45.

Once we got the instructions and took pictures, we all headed out to walk around. I found this place that’s selling REALLY super cute chess sets and I want them, they’re $470. So I think I might buy one, but the girl said that you might be able to get one at market much cheaper. So that’s good. I’ll have to look tomorrow. Cause that’s market day!!

From there we headed out to a bar/club thing and found this really good place. Almost everyone got something. I didn’t though. But I talked to some girls and came out to them as well. It was very funny. I was like, “I usually go to the Redlight” and one of them was like, “That sounds like a gay club” and I was like, “It is.” lol

We didn’t stay to long there, and then came home. Well three of us did. The rest all stayed there. Who knows what time they’ll be back.

But for me, it’s bed time.

Laters all. And I miss talking to my Drew Bear already. 🙁
