What to do?!

AH. GAHHH. UGH. SO STRESSED. 

I was supposed to have typed at least 5 pages out of a 10 page work on Socrates I'm doing to have it ready for review on Monday... buuuuuuuuuuuuuut... I didn't do it. And today I'm leaving for Minneapolis for the weekend (not that that's an excuse to NOT do it or anything...). I'm gonna have to bring my homework with me. I didn't want to do this, but it has to be done. Tonight I'm attending a Mumford and Sons concert with Ronnie Rainey and plan to wildly seduce Marcus Mumford and possibly join the band as their lead cowbell extrodinaire.  Also, I've been fantasizing about what to be for Halloween and, with the help of Steve Shepson, think I may have finally come up with something. The thought process went something like so:

Steve: What are you gonna dress up as??!?!

Donica: I HAVE NO IDEA!

Steve: Me either! I was thinking a transformer but don't have the time.

Donica: I know, same here! 

Steve: Maybe you should just put on a box and write something on it.

Donica: ORRRR I could just go as a box...

Steve: Even better.

But then I thought about what I could make the box into.... so then I thought "Welllll, what better than an oven? I like to eat, people like to eat, oven=eating..." and so this lead to convo #2:

Donica: I should go as an oven! But it'd be better if I was pregnant, than I could have a "BUN" in my oven huck yuck yuck...

Steve: Or you could go as an oven and have it open to your backside... then you could have "BUNS" in your oven huck yuck yuck,

Alas. My Halloween costume search may be over. Also I told Steve to go as Barbie doll Ken. Can you not see it?! He could draw lines around his neck and shoulders and anywhere else a barbie doll has limbs attached. Good thing he doesn't know about this blog...

More to come with pictures soon!

Let me just clarify...

So here's the dealio.  I must admit, I DO realize that my degree is pretty fan-flipping-tastic, but I also need to clarify WHY I'm taking this degree and WHY it's not meant for everyone.

1. I have ALWAYS been drawn to the Greek and Roman empires. Languages have been natural for me, and I have always thought critically and philosophically, ever since I can remember.  This is no fact to brag on, it's just a mere fact. This is how I've been.

2. I've never been good at much else. Music was the only other area I succeeded in. Although I loved Chemistry, I never was above par on the sciences or maths or anything else really. Psychology and sociology intrigued me, but who DOESN'T it intrigue??? 

3. When I discovered the Classical Studies degree, I felt God pulling at my heart. I had been looking into Philosophy, Journalism, Foreign Languages, History, Psychology, and Law. This was just the best possible combination of all those. 

4. Here's a few reasons why this is not meant for everyone:

• Although I feel learning about Classical Studies is great and essential, not everyone can make it their major.  Where would we find jobs? Where would we come up with our scientists, engineers, logistics, etc. people?
• My yoga instructor was talking to me about he is applying to med school. He was interested in my degree and the more I talked about it the more he was thinking he should switch over to that. He's about to graduate with his Biology major. He loves sciences. My question was WHY?! to which he responded "I feel that since I love science so much, it should be just a hobby of mine and maybe it's not what I should do for a career." I was a little irritated by this. I had to tell him that the reason I'm doing Classics is because I don't think about anything else and am terrible at sciences. So what would happen if the people that loved science AND the people the hated science all got together and started doing the same degree? It's hard to know which desires and talents that God has given you are meant for career or hobby. I know this from experience. I was really good at music. My family all thought I was going to go into music. I enjoy music. And I'm often sad that my life isn't going down the musician's path. But I found my calling. 
• I think everyone should have knowledge of the Classics era, and also a well-rounded education.  And it'd be fun for me to be the one to teach it. 

Wow. I'm too exhausted to really continue. I have many more points but really can't think right now (day three of master cleanse... from experience I know the first three days are the worst, so I can't wait until tomorrow!)

Anywho... Toodles.

Ugh ughy ugh boots

I'm exhauuuusted. I lost my student ID (which is basically a college student's LIFE i.e., debit card, identification, library card, card for the gym [they won't let you in without it]), I'm gonna have to buy a new one but am frustrated. I also lost my nalgene the same day. Twenty dollar nalgene, twenty dollar ID card: BLEH. Anywho. As far as informing the public of my current status (aside from being happily single), I am currently undergoing a process to become a yoga instructor and spin instructor at the Wellness Center (WOOOOOOOOOOT). 
On another order of business: Tomorrow I am starting the Master Cleanse. I will probably be only doing it a week (I'm heading to Minneapolis on the 29th for a Mumford and Sons concert! And halloween!), but I think a week should cleanse me mostly. I might have to have another round of if before Christmas and go a full 10 days but we'll see. I last did a soup cleanse in August, and that was good, but it's really not like fasting or juicing so I'm excited to get the refreshed feeling I do when I'm done with a fast! My favorite part is getting disgusted with the smell of fatty foods. The desire for sugar and fatty goes away, and I can't wait to get that feeling back! I will keep you all updated (that means YOU MOM) on how it goes, and I hope I can be successful. I used to be so great with discipline and fasted all the time, but I've been so lacking lately! I need to implement that discipline back in my life. Wish me luck! Toodles,

First off: update time. I bought a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix so I now can finally transport myself places. I really have nothing else new or exciting, so onto my story.

Okay, here's the thing. I don't often get bored.  But I was slightly depressed tonight and didn't really feel like working on homework.  I ruined a canvas painting and it really got my spirits down.  It was sooooooooo awesome and then I became so inspired by my own pure genious that I continued to add and add... and it got worse and worse... In the end, it turned out TERRIBLE. It's hanging in my room.  So that part of my creativity was a no-go for the night-- therefore, I took to something I've never done before. I'm embarrassed. Humiliated. That I stooped this low just baffles my mind. So low, in fact, that I'm not even going to say what it is that I did. BUT. There is hope for you all. I'm giving up a bit of pride and am releasing this photo of my evening activity to all of you. No explanations. No comments.
