Fundamentals of

Thin mint! Hands down. However, I could eat an entire box of any of them.

I vote they make some low-cal GS Cookies. I'd buy a ton of those.

I'm not religious in the least, but I'm going to give some things up for lent. Just to challenge myself and my way of doing things.

I considered facebook, but it is an integral tool to stay connected with people. Especially for birthdays, and this semester, a group project page.

This is what I'm going to give up:
Food List:
Deep fried food such as jalapeno poppers, fries,
Meat,
Pizza,
Chocolate and all other desserts *this does not include yogurt, nor fruit*,
Chips,
Spicy food (my stomach can't handle them, anyway, so this one will be really good for me)

Other:
Showering every day (just bought some dry shampoo! at most I'll shower every-other day)
Swearing
Facebook/google reader past 5:00pm. (great idea, right?)
Spending more than one hour with friends on school nights. (This is going to be so difficult!)

I can do this. "I don't even have to tell people I'm doing because I'll hold myself accountable." - I actually wrote that BS. That was my easy way out if I failed. I can't be afraid of failure. I'm posting this on facebook. Go me.

:)
*Note to self, give away my chocolate/chips in my room...

my personal motto:
Keep up

I forgetful and don't always listen well, but I care and am bursting with passion.

My man Abe.

I have mastered how to put on false eyelashes. Win.

I signed up for and had three dinners with Alumni of the UW last week, and I wanted to jot down who they were somewhere that I wouldn't lose. So here it is.

Troy Vosseller started the Sconnie Nation T-shirt company as a freshman at UW-Madison. He is now the sole owner responsible for the overall strategic direction of the Sconnie Nation brand, including their soon-to-be released Sconnie Beer! On the side, Vosseller works part-time as a supervising attorney for UW’s Law & Entrepreneurship Clinic (uwle.org), a clinic that provides free legal services to help entrepreneurs and small business owners realize their potential. If you are interested in learning how to start up your own business, or just looking for entrepreneurial tips then this is the dinner for you!

I'm having a hard time.

My major is freakin' me out. This fucking econ class.

But wait. Econ isn't even THAT bad right now. Just do the assignment, write SOMETHING down, get credit for it. Look over the answers for the previous assignments, do the readings, follow along in class. You'll be fine. Stop freaking out. Get your fucking shit done.

Tonight:
Gen Biz memo
accounting online (maybe even the second one?)
walk around for quiet hours- give out study bucks, hang flyers

I wish I was cooler and more creative and stuff.

Jonny don't leave me,
You said you'd love me forever.
Honey believe me,
I'll have your heart on a platter.

Might you recall,
We've got a small family business
And the Family won't like this.

They'll bust your knee caps.
Ooh wop de do wop de do.
They'll bust your knee caps.
Ooh wop de do wop de do.

Jonny you told me
you were no fool, you were no chump
Then you got cold feet.
Now all you'll be is a speed bump.

It's something we call,
Oh just a small family business.
And the family won't like this.

They'll bust your knee caps.
Ooh wop de do wop de do.
They'll bust your knee caps.
That's what they're going to do.

Jonny there's still time.
Together I know, we'd go so far.
I'll tell uncle Rocco
to call off the guys with the crowbars.

You call it crime.
We call it smart family business.
And the family is famous.

LET'S BUST SOME KNEE CAPS!!

It's such a shame
That you became such an issue.
Oh dear Jonny, I'll miss you.

They'll bust your knee caps.
That's what they're going to do.
They'll bust your knee caps.
Probably some other stuff, too.

They'll bust your knee caps.
Ooh wop de do wop de do.
They'll bust your knee caps.
Ooh yeah they're coming for you.

It is ridiculous how relatable Lily Allen's songs are to my life. LOL
