fucking annoying

I hate coming to work and having nothing to work on.
I come in at eight to see about an hour and a halfs worth of work, well the problem there is that I am supposed to work till five with an hour for lunch break.
FUCK. Now I have to find shit to do all day, or decided to leave early (in which case I obviously wouldn't get paid).

Fucking irritating.

let it snow

clif bars

clif bars have got to be one of the most unappetizing looking granola bars. they're so god damn tasty though.

I'm back!

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with my blog. Since my last post so much has changed. I no longer live in Ames in a dorm, I live at home in good 'ol West Des Moines, Iowa with my parents. (although I am moving back to Ames in the fall with my boyfriend.) I am still in school to be a park ranger, but for now I work at a car dealership with my dad making some good money. I have lots of free time here at work, it's a desk job and I am the admin assistant (meaning I help the managers here in the used car building). The free time is when I blog on my Tumblr, and now here again(: Stay tuned for the winter.

a fight is going on inside me

titanic

 

i went to titanic 3D today. it was beautiful, i LOVE that movie. <3

i love this man. john muir is my hero.

bears

i love bears. end of story. <3

mountains

 

this picture blew my mind. so gorgeous. 

bitter

so i just talked to my dad about when he is going to come pick me up from ames to go back to waukee. first of all, i'm irritated as fuck because he doesn't want to pick me up. he's been trying to convince me to stay in ames or to find another ride. this is irritating because i have plans in des moines tonight and i'm the only one leaving ames tonight, so i can't find a different ride.
i'm done with classes at two. so i asked if my dad could pick me up around two or three. he says i was thinking six. WTF?! that's four hours where i'm just going to have to sit doing nothing, while all my other friends are getting ready for the night in ames.
ASDFGHJKL!! i'm so irritated by the conversation. mostly because it makes me realize how lazy my dad can be. it's not that hard to drive one hour to pick up your daughter for spring break. good lord.

tiger hug

 

look at how farking huge that tiger is. DAMN. 

spring reading

i started reading angels and demons for my spring reading. i'm about 65 pages in, and the book is incredible. i decided to read it because i've seen the movie; and i loved the movie. but now i'm hearing the book is better then the movie, so i'm stoked. i feel like i can't set it down.

today i had a nice surprise at lunch. about 15 minutes after we usually go to eat, i got a text from andrew saying we'd be eating in about 20 minutes and that matt and trevor were coming to eat at seasons with us. it was a good news of course. we went back to their apartment in the back of matt's tiny car. then we played massive amounts of guitar hero band with drums, bass, and guitar.

i just got an e-mail about five minutes ago saying we don't have morning class tomorrow because out instructor's son is sick. sucks for him, sleeeping innnn for this girl. (: plus apparently we're getting crazy tomorrow with matt and trevor. bowls and beers with friends starting as soon as my classes end. looking forward to it.

dubstep

i'm listening to dubstep right now. it's blowing my mind as i'm just internet surfing. such beautiful sounds. <3 

check out this song. BEAUTIFUL VIBES.

horses

this picture is breathtaking. i need a horse in my lifetime.

in waukee

i'm at home for the weekend. it's pretty nice being here because my bedroom is somewhere i can go to in order to not be with another person. as you can see i'm bored of the college dorm roommate thing. i want my own bedroom. that's all. just hung out with cameron, we went to mcdonalds and it was delicious.
but now i have to work on homework. hopefully listening to dave matthews band will keep me from madness.
of course now that i think of it, i'm going to hooters and target tonight. wings are gonna be gooooood.

olsen twins.

 

olsen twins. they're so gorgeous. love them. 

it's a nice afternoon finally.

well, i got my drop slip now i just have to get it signed and turn it into the enrollment building. i also called my mom like three times. usually talking to her makes her feel better. i also asked her to set up an appointment with my counselor, and i told her i'd start taking my anxiety medicine. which put her in a better mood, at least i think...well she laughed. but whatever. it's a nice day out so i'm gonna stay in a good mood. my friends are skateboarding in the parking lot, i can hear them from the eighth floor, so i yelled at them. haha. ed, ed, and eddy is on and i got pizza and some tea. looking forward to tonight. (;

totally unfair.

i'm dropping my biology class because it's absolutely impossible. i talked to my parents about it and they were fine with it as long as i do well in the classes that i'm still in. sounds like a food deal right? well my dad just called me and told me he went to my mom's office this afternoon. apparently she's flipping out about it now and what not. my dad told me that when i move back home next year that i'm going to be given random drug tests. wtf?!? they want me to come home because they miss me, but then they threaten me with shit that i wouldn't have to deal with if i were on my own. i'm pissed.

lion hug

 

this makes me tear up a little bit. such a beautiful animal in such a beautiful moment. <3

 

wow, this is beautiful. 

about to scream

my best friend, jed, has been on my case since the beginning of the semester. i swear he thinks i'm a fucking ding-bat. he constantly gives me shit about being a on facebook too much, "don't you have something productive to be doing?" he'll ask.
so i told him today, i got a meeting with an academic coach to help me with study techniques and what not. he says you don't need a coach you just need to do your shit. really? so i told him i just struggle with studying and that this was me seeking help. so i told him hop off cause i'm sick of it. he responds with i bet you're right back on facebook.
WTF?!

my love

 

i need to go camping...

 

...and i need to go hiking. 

summer get at me.

i was adorable

 

elementary school, girl scouts meeting! oh ya, the one with the crazy smile, that's me. (:

nomo

i've only made one post on my facebook today. it's been painfully hard. i keep having to tell myself not to post what i want to. and andrew just told me no more posts too. D: what the fuck do i dooooo. shit.

coolest waterslide ever.

 

 this is my favorite breed of wolf, followed closely by the grey wolf. they're legs are so long. gorgeous creatures, no doubt. 

dumb mid-term

american indian studies only lasted like forty five minutes cause all we did was go over the shit on the mid-term. and the mid-term is stupid because it's too late to be considered a mid-term grade for the university so it's just gonna be a test grade. wtf? but i got panda express at the memorial union on the way back from class. yum. (:

gotta start working on my bio homework and pre-lab quiz. i HATE bio lab, it's an awful, awful class. three of the most painful hours all week. asdfghjkl!!!!

super sad

yup, my roommate's dog is sick and old. she's going home tomorrow night. ):

average monday night

...i think something is wrong with my roommate. she won't talk to me, and i think before i went to go take my shower she was crying. hmmmm. hope she's alright.

i'm eating a starkist tuna salad meal thing on crackers. they're sooooooo good. i eat them all the time when i go on hikes in colorado. best hiking food ever. but i gotta study for biology and write a paper for american indian studies. this should be fun.

i was bummed this evening though. i hung out with andrew. we walked from dinner to the corner by jed's dorm. but of course he always makes us wait. but while we were waiting matt drove by us and yelled. it sounded like he yelled sluts so i turned around pissed as hell because someone just yelled at me. but then i saw his face. (; so i just laughed. it was funny though, because when we got back to jed's dorm after we went to his truck andrew said he had been texting matt. apparently matt said "katie sucks" and not "sluts", which for some reason i thought was that much funnier. haha. but we didn't get to go play guitar hero at matt, trevor, and kody's this evening. it's okay though, we practically moved in with them last weekend. (but it was crazy amazing, so that's okay really)

anywayyyyyy, i gotta study and eat so i can get to bed at a somewhat decent time. goodnight.

hectic week

well, my friends have continuously annoyed me for the past two weeks about how i put too much shit up on my facebook. so, i started a new blog (along with my tumblr) to vent and post pointless stuff.

i'll just start then. today i only went to my horticulture class. whoops, i skipped biology, nrem, and geology. i should stop doing that. but really though, hort is my favorite class right now. we are on a turfgrass section. the last section before our next exam. (i just saw a wrestling commercial with the rock in it for the first time in probably five years, wtf) anyway, the exam is over turfgrass, trees, and plant propagation. the test is on monday next week.
meanwhile, i have a geology and biology exam coming up this week. i should study for those. because i also have multiple assignments due this week with a paper and a take home mid-term. ahhhhhh, college is hectic.

well, i should start that studying that i mentioned. enjoy this video. (: my favorite song, by my very favorite band.
