Like how much you wanted anyone but me

So I don't know why I blog because Facebook usually takes care of everything but I have nothing to do because of this stupid snow! Gaaah
Anyway - I got my housing offer today and it's not exactly what I wanted so I have the option to reject it and the live "off " campus. The reason for the " " is because it's techinically owned by Columbia but other schools can live there and it's not considered on campus housing. I got offered the cheapest housing they have.. which is.. get this $9,552 per year. Haha yes my parents are so excited for this school.. but I get to live in CHICAGO. You pay for the name in all aspects of the world. 
So this off campus housing is what we think is almost $1,000 cheaper. (every little but helps) and it's 30 times nicer. I already have a roommate, she's very cool and I can totally see us being good friends which is a relief considering the Chadron situation. It comes with a 42" flat screen tv. I know, bangin'. 
I have until the 22nd to decide on the on campus housing but if I reject that and I don't get into the off campus ones I could be in big trouble. I have a huge decision to make this weekend haha. My roommate is going to see the lofts on sunday so she'll let me know if they're really as amazing as they look on the site. 

Here's some pictures - I know you want to see.

Bathroom

Actual building

Living room/ some of bedroom

I couldn't get a picture of the bedroom. You'll just have to wait until I move into my own and i'll show you mine :)

I have a paper due on tuesday and I don't know how many pages it's supposed to be sooo I'm going to have to guesstimate haha. Hopefully I find the sheet before tuesday. Maybe thats what i'll do tonight.
Finals start in 2 weeks.  Wahooo! Almost donnneee then I can get on with real college.

He's just not that into you = the new womans bible.

Umm I think that's it. 
I need a job.

.. but the last time you kissed me you kept both eyes open

I'm bored. I honestly have nothing amazing to update. So random thoughts by Alyson:
-I find out about my rooming situation next week. At least where I'll live. Not necessarily who and what room or floor.
-Ten page paper due monday. On page 4. 
-I'm going to UNC tomorrow to see Derek sing some opera. Not really excited but I promised him and I need to see Miranda because I miss her. * Yeah that was a stupid decision so I decided to do my paper instead.
-Uhhh South Carolina with the Kulin clan in August. SO EXCITED. Our family get togethers are always just so much fun I can't even tell you. We all get along so well. 
-I hate the 89 feet of snow that we got.
- I am currently watching What I Like About You.
- I have an interview with ymca for a camp counseling job over the summer.

Ok i'm done I got to do my paper now.

I'm just sayin..


Kelly Clarkson's new cd is the best she's ever done.
EVER. 
I literally love every single song on it. 
If you're looking for a good treadmil cd, I highly recommend
cry, all i ever wanted, don't let me stop you
 and i do not hook up are my ultimate favorites
but the rest is equally amazing.

I just wish she knew what she has done for me.
I can tell you, I would not be the person I am today
if it weren't for this girl right here.

I know that I've got issues, but you're pretty messed up too.

Yesterday, March 8 2009 I became a new woman. 
I have officially made the decision to change my ways of life.

For the first time in 13 years of school I'm doing well. I guess going to an amazing college was a good motivator. I just got a 100% on my theatre midterm. Yes, it's theatre but still. This just makes me more ethusiastic about Columbia in the fall and it also proves to my parents I'm ready :) I was picking out my classes yesterday and I was just in love because they have different kinds of courses because it's an arts school so it has science for the theatre major. Yep that's a class. I just get more and more excited for Columbia as the days go by. 
I was never really excited for Chadron, I was just kind of going because I was supposed to. Reality is I should've gone to ACC to start with because it's what I needed but whatever, I can't change the past. it is what it is. 

Also - it's been 11 days since my last Coke and it's hard but i'm going to do it.. for  God then when Lent is over it will be for myself. I'm getting used to getting lemonade and ice tea in restaurants. I didn't just cut Coke, I cut soda out. It's been a challange but it's a sacrafice i'm willing to stick to.

So there's this boy.. he's in my theatre class and he's a techie just like me. That's all i'm going to say for now.

Kelly's new cd comes out tomorrow! I already listened to a song, SO EXCITED.

Sarah comes home on saturday, thank the good lord. I need some adults in my life. Haha what am I saying? I just miss her. I'm going to be spending some good amount of time with her next year so.

I'm just saying i'm a new woman, i'm playing soccer and getting healthy.

Oh and June 11th I'm coming to Utah, so watch out BYU, there's a Catholic stormin' your way.


Peace

Ice Ice melt your heart

Um I tried to give up Coke for the 883947823984238 time.
It lasted about 11 hours.
I'll try it again.

I'm going to Chicago on thursday to see Columbia. Hopefully I don't get a rejection letter between now and then. Well hopefully I don't get a rejection letter at all.
I really have my heart set on this school. My heart will just break if I don't get in. Just go look at the pictures and how spectacular it looks. The facilites.. I'm just amazed  a college could look this cool. I've never really liked school but I feel excited when I think about going to classes there. Probably because they'd be all theatre classes but still.
I'm really ready to go away. I feel it's more out of jealously and anxiousness (is that a word?) but I do believe I can handle myself there. I'll have Sarah there and I have a few friends I'd have in the dorm i'd be in because they're friends with Sarah and I am also friends with them so I wouldn't be completely alone like I was in Chadron. It'd just be cool because Miranda and Jordan are rooming together at UNC (yeah I know, good luck) and then Sarah and I would be in the same dorm. It'd be a really cute Quadra thing or a really bad Quadra thing because Sarah and I will get closer and Miranda and Jordan will be closer. Whatever. Let me get in first.

That's about it. I'm just really excited to go and see Sarah. I miss her, although I do feel like I just saw her which I kind of did.

Anyway. My life is not exciting until I get my Columbia letter. It's all I talk about because it's really the only thing in my life because my friends are away. The decision is consuming my life because it will affect my life as of Fall 2009. Ugh i'm sorry you've had to deal with this..

School is going well. I got a B on my sociology test :)
 3.0 here I come
