I am sorry for the ridiculous rant of my last post.  I really should connect my brain, mouth and fingers at times...lol.

So this one cute guy in my class said something really weird the other day and I'm trying to interpret it but I don't think I should.  I really think that guys are more complicated than girls.  They just are.  So the guy's talking about where he went to school (which is where my brother goes now) and I mention that my brother goes there.  He's like "who's your brother?" so I say "Adrian - but you wouldn't know him: he's a freshman this year".

"Oh yeah, I wouldn't know him... But that'd be weird," says he, "I'd be like 'I know your sister.' "

"Yeah," say I, "and he'd be like, 'who are you?'"

"Ah well, he'll know soon enough," says he and quickly changes the subject.

He'll know soon enough? What kind of statement is that?  Like, what does that mean???  Girls do not have such cryptic comments.  I've been trying to come up with meanings of what that means but have yet to come up with a reasonable one.

This kid is the same one who insists on calling me things like "Fearless Leader" and "Special".  And he's always rolling his chair into mine, using my computer, etc, etc.  It's pretty funny.

Flirt.

Anyway, other than that, life goes on.  I'm doing really well in my classes.  I have a 98 in one and an 80-something in the other.  Wohoooie.

Life Goes On

So my life goes on.  I am really, really enjoying my classes.  The guys are really friendly.  However, they are guys and guys will be guys as was discovered today in my class.  We were discussing hardness testing and our professor asked the definition of hardness and I was like "the amount the object withstands penetration" (which is the definition, :D).  And the guys all snickered.  Then, the professor's like "so, what does it mean if during penetration the penetrator hits a 'wall'?" and the guys kinda fell apart... (like, "idk...it's an 'unused' material?", lol)

So then in my next class, the guys were all lovely and nice.  Some of the guys are major cute but they all have these really dirty mouths so...idk.

I recently found out that one of my friends may be on pot and it's really bugging me.  I like want to tell him to stop and all but he's like "it's not addictive" and "i've been doing it for two years..." So I'm really annoyed.  I don't know what to do.  I guess I can't really do anything except pray for him...but yeah.

Thankfully, I finished my applications for nomination to my senators/representative.  And I've submitted all my college essays (except for my ROTC app) so it's just waiting.  Except I still have to submit a resume for ROTC, an essay for ROTC, a PFT for ROTC, a CFA for USAFA and a CFA for USNA.  But not much really.  Oh, and pay two application fees of $70 each.  (Sigh.)

I've begun to "want" a bf again.  Like, I go through these cycles.  I think I generally want one when I'm starting to get stressed out and just want to disappear.  So I want a bf who will take me out and pay attention to me, lol.  Sounds kinda self-centered but yeah...

I've just realized I'm kinda ranting right now but I just need somewhere to dump my thoughts.  Like, I think the thing that bugs me the most, even though I try not to let it bug me, is that my 'rents get my name wrong.  I mean, I get it - there's five of us; it's hard - but it still bugs me.  I think years of being called "Alis-Karen" are finally starting to wear me thin.  I almost can't wait to go somewhere where I'll actually be called my name (even if it is just my last name, lol).  [The worst part isn't that they get my name wrong, but that when they're apologizing for it, they get it wrong again, lol!  It's like "Alis-Kar - oh, I'm sooo sorry, Alis-Karen - I mean, Karen..." SIGH.

End Rant.

So, I've decided that I spend an exorbitant amount of my time thinking about guys.  And it's sad.  I really should do other stuff.  And I don't.  *sigh*

Opened a checking account today.  Because.

Talked to KOMS again.  Even though he isn't KOMS anymore, lol.  We've been talking a lot lately.  I'm trying to convince him to come down for the Cadet Ball.  So far, I've gotten a "maybe but where would I stay, how would I get there...".  I'm like "take a greyhound bus or the amtrak and you can stay at my house.  In a completely seperate part of the house, of course. :)"  Ah well...it's up to him.  Funny guy.

See?  I can't even post a blog entry without relating it back to guys!  That's how pathetic it is...sigh.  Whatever.

So I haven't posted in a while but I have a ton to say:

1) My classes are going well.  I think I'm doing the best in my Intro class and I'm not sure about my Graphics class but will find out tomorrow.

2) There is this kid in my Intro and Graphics class.  And he was always kind of cute but had long hair and was therefore not cute.  Because I don't like long hair on guys.  Well, yesterday, he came into class and he had cut his hair!  And it looked really nice.  And he's like way more cute now.

Anyway, we joke around a lot (flirt - as my sister would say) and he's really nice.  I just have to remind myself that in about 2 more months, he will forget he ever knew me as the sememster ends, lol.  But he is cute.  And nice.  And smart.  And taller than me. *sigh*

3) My parents came home from Colorado yesterday and said that they had fun.  My mother liked the Air Force Academy, which is definitely a good thing!

4) My applications for nomination to my senators have been turned in.

5) I need to take my CFA for USAFA and USNA.  Other than that, I'm done.  :)

6) I'm going through one of those times when I really really wish I had a boyfriend.  Like really wish.  Groan.

That's it for now!
