Australian Orientation starts on Feb. 12th, and the semester is done June 30th. After june 30th, I have no idea what i am gonna do with my life. It is really annoying to be stress about the summer...when it's many months away.

I made pumpkin pie today for thanksgiving. Something about contributing to the meal makes me really happy. Except  I feel coated in pumpkin and thats strange....what evers

I have to do homework over break and i don't want to.

SHIT i have to email my mentor. fuck.

pointless entry #2

Bye Gumwads,

Ivana

I am sitting in my living room and julia and her friend are talking about architecture. Love it, because I have no clue what they are talking about. Although apparently the building they are studying, costs about 5000/night to stay in...right...

I love fridays. Except not really because I ALWAYS have office hours, and then work. boo hoo..

I feel like I glow, and therefore need to tan.. but tanning cost money and I can't bring myself to pay for it.
Work was awesome today. Some guy withdrew 15000 from his checking account because he was going to NYC for 5 days. That is 3000 dollars a day! Even I can't spend that much in one day....actually maybe I could.

Ivana

Its so damn cold that I have started a countdown to Australia.

91 days.

[01] Reply with your name and I will write something about you.

[02] I will then tell what song[s] remind me of you.

[03] Next, I will tell you who you remind me of or a memory involving us.

[04] Last, I will try to name a single word that best describes you.

[05] Put this in your journal!


i'm so tired i could pass out right now.

Woah! What's going on Ivana updating twice in one month? It's like the world is ending or something..... Yesterday i had a ski meet at Wild Mountain. It was against Moundsview and WBL. It was super funny because moundsview had matching jackets and it was just like WHY!? I did really bad at the meet like every other meet but whatever. I did this just for fun. i didn't join to be #1. I am avoiding memorizing my Dramatic Intrepretation. I really just can't do it. I am not able to focus my attention on it enough to memorize it. Oh well, guess i am not going to get an A in that class. I have another meet tomorrow which i will probably come in last again. Maybe they will FINALLY be able to put me on JV. I just don't think i'm meant to be fast. in anything. But i think i can deal with that.

maybe next month?

Off to basketball practice.

Hello people. Yeah,hell just froze over. I am updating my LJ. I don't really know why i really stopped. I use to update ALLL THE TIME! I would update so much that people would tell me to stop updating. HAHA. My sister left me this weekend alone with my parents. It's super duper boring around the house. My mom just cooks and my dad works all the time. And usually when i'm home and bored i bother my sister but NO she's not here!! My phsyce is being destroyed.....wait how do you spell that? Eh,does it really matter. I went shopping today. It was a lovely trip and i bought 2 tanks from aero, a skirt from aero and a shirt from the abercrombie outlet. I also decided that you know what you only live once and purchased a coin purse for 30 bucks. I can barely fit a coin in there it's so effin small....i am already regretting my purchase. It's okay, if i decide i can return it. I watched the golden globes tonight also. It was alright...nothing terrific happened. Overall, the weekend was pretty average. I did spend ALL of saturday watching football which got me super worked up and i was tempted to go outside in this -90 degree weather. Oh man if i went through with that i would have died!

maybe i'll post next month too. hahahaha.......till next time

So this is my attempt at an LJ cut so here i go:
( Survey of life )

I don't know what the hell is wrong with me to be waking up at 7am every fricken morning. I am so god damn tired it's unreal. But other news when i wake up early i get homework done quicker and i've already memorized my speech.. i thinking i'm going to declare this streching day for no reason what so ever...YA!!

ivana loves you!


hahahah i'm amuse myself to death it's sad.

SO yesterday i went to the T.C. underground and i have to say it was really fun yo! It was the most fun i've had in a while. Today i woke and went on a wonderful walk around my neighbor hood. That is fun. and then i cleaned my room which is also fun. Cleaning is always a hoot of fun dontcha think? Then i went to drop of my pictures at target. I was really confused though because i haven't had pictures developed since 1998. And now i'm sitting here talking to the computer...Well it's not really "talking" as more of writing. At 4:15 ISH claire and emily are going to come over and we are going to watch the best movie EVER! (my cousin Vinny). It's really funny. And then we will be off to brita's house to have a party...hee hee...


Ivana

Woah i can't read what i am typing dude.
Minnesota bride is amusing

Hey girls and guys! Well i went to the mall today. It was a little random but i did get ali's birthday present. It is soo cool. well not super cool but ali will like it and that is what counts! The mall is really random. Music is random too. I mean people write really random songs...and it's like whhaat? Ya so that is the cool analaze of the day. I need to find a good poem. Any suggestions?

Ivana

Hey kids. School stinks. I can't stand it. I have good people in my classes and things like that but it just isn't worth it. Soo ya. This morning i woke up and went for a walk/run. See i didn't do enough running for you to call it a run. But i did run a little bit. And then i played tennis with my dad. It got me really tired. I feel like i'm gonna die now. But i won't.

So i'm at my dad's work. Ya we had run and get something here. Dying my hair today. AHH i'm soo excited about it. It won't look much different but it doesn't matter..:-)
