Um..Can I just say..SPRING FEVER!

I don't understand why everyone keeps insisting on staying inside. I mean it's so gorgeous out. Okay, so I know, it's like 50 degrees out there, but it's not 10! All I was to do is open my window (Ashton is preventing this!) I have my blinds and curtains wide open though, so, good substitute. I'm spending as much time outside as I can outside. The downside to all of this is homework.
There is only one week left before spring break and somehow I am expected to focus. I know I need to keep my grades up and stay focused. The sun is so beautiful though!!! For spring break don't expect me to look at one single book.
On other notes, I feel like I'm doing good in my classes. I know what is going on, I'm doing assignments, and studying for classes. I know I did good on most of my midterms. Like A/B good I hope! I feel like my life is under control but then that's only my school life. Other parts of my life are just flying everyone. I keep trying to get up the courage to tell my parents that I've decided not to come back to IU next year. I'm going to keep going to college just not here. As much as I love IU, which I do, I know it's not the right place for me. I started to tell about 3/4 of the way into first semester. I kept trying to convince myself it was just the cold that was bringing me down, but now I know it's not the truth. I miss home. I miss smelling the lake and the beach on windy or rainy days. I miss actually knowing where I'm going when driving around town. I miss people recognizing my car and honking at me. I can't stand to be without my best friends or my mom, who is the biggest part in my life. I just don't know how to break the news to them that the school I believed in so much and so absolute ended up being not what I thought. I feel like there is something wrong with me because the campus is so beautiful and everyone is so nice. It feels too...big..though. I love knowing that my entire town is a 20 minute drive tops from one end to the other. Ugh, I don't even know how to deal with this topic!!!

Please Just Get it Right!!

Alright, so I'm setting up this blog for class because sadly, it's a requirement. I'm told to just talk about anything. I'm just going to talk about a few things that are, right now, driving me nuts.
First of all can I just say that when you write a paper about yourself it is call an autobiography not biography. For a teacher who spent so much time on the first day of classes just to point out all the degrees you have, shouldn't this be an easy thing to establish? I really don't want to write about myself especially considering the fact that the grade is only pass/fail. How can you fail when writing a paper about yourself? Alright, so maybe there are the idiots who would use like some celebs life and call it their own but they are just too stupid to realize they should be the ones in McDonald's offering you fries. So back to my point, really she isn't going to even read these papers. She will just check to make sure you used the font that she wanted and have the right length and guess what? YOU PASSED! Would someone please tell me how this assignment is helping me with anything? I already know more than anyone else about myself so what is she going to do to improve upon that?
Secondly, does technology have to be so freakin' difficult? I bought this fancy laptop last year to help with school and I think I have spent more time in Best Buy getting it fixed than I have in all of my classes combined. I don't know what is making it crash, I don't know what you want me to do to fix this blue screen error, and no I don't know how to use you Mr. would you like to run so and so to fix the issue. Apparently though, neither does Geek Squad otherwise I wouldn't be ranting about this.
Well I suppose now that I have addressed two things driving me crazy and met my requirement for at least a few paragraphs I am done. On that note, I bid you goodnight and good luck!
