So since I'm in college, I guess everyone has to ask me "So have you met any cute guys?" "Have you met any prospects?" and other questions. Well I will say that are plenty of cute guys at this university. But, just to get it out there... that does not mean I'm going to date them. If I see cute guys it tends to be while I am walking to class, and sometimes guys will smile and say hello to me (I do smile and say hello back). But, that is it. It does not go any farther than that. The only guys I have socialized with, so far, are guys in my classes and my FHE brothers, who do not act interested (Although if they are interested, they're not making it obvious enough.) We are all simply friends. Hopefully, I will go on a date sometime not too far in the future... but for now there has apparently been no spark between me and another person while I have been here. I also wouldn't mind going on a casual date... but most people want to go on serious dates. I'm not saying that serious dating is bad thing... it just seems to be more for people who actually want to be in a relationship, and want to be out of the "we're just friends" phase. So at the moment I do not feel comfortable on going on serious dates with anyone.
At home, one of my friends tells me have to ask at least 3 guys on a date. But, I am just not like that. I do not ask guys to go on a date... I feel dumb just asking someone to dance with me.
So that is my rant on my dating life.. if you can even call it that.

Bummed
Today was the first day that I have been on a ski lift. It wasn't too bad getting on the lift, but the getting off was a bit tricky. On a snowboard you attach the bindings to one foot, and when you get off the lift you have to put your board perpendicular to the chair. Then at the end of the ride you put your board down on the ground and carefully step on the board with your foot that does not have the bindings on it. Then you slide down a little to the edge of the hill, and bind your loose foot before you start snowboarding. The first time I went off the lift I slipped and ran into my friend. After a few trips up the mountain it became easier, but I still need to get adjusted to it. Also today I felt really pathetic, since I fell a few times, and I could not get back up without slipping. Everyone else was fine. But yeah the one thing that is frustrating about snowboarding is that you are constantly on your butt. I fell on my bottom quite a bit today, but it was no where as bad as the first time I snowboarded. Is it possible for bottoms to get adjusted to falling? It hurts!

Changes
I have started a new semester. When I last left Idaho, it was cold, but not too bad. Now it's really cold... and everyone tells me it's not as bad as it usually is. When I first arrived, it seemed like the snow piled to my head... but I'm exaggerating. I have started new classes. I actually enjoy some of them because they are actually interesting. I like my humanities class (basically art appreciation) since it has helped learn to appreciate the arts. I also like my communications class. I can tell that this class will be very useful to me here and outside of college. At first I didn't like it, but I'm starting to like my color and design class more. We learn a lot of interesting things in there, and it has shown that there is an infinite amount of things you can do with art. Right now we are doing very basic stuff, although I probably feel that way because of my graphic design class last semester.
I have a lot of other things to share so hopefully whoever is reading this will not get too bored. On my way here from Virginia I lost my laptop. I think I had either left on the plane, (which was checked but no one found anything), or I left at the concourse (which the flight attendants said the security should have picked it up). Well my family and I called the Chicago airport several times, but they did not find anything. Whoever has a hold of my laptop must feel really happy with it. Although I imagine they don't feel proud of themselves for taking it.
But, now I have another change... I have a new computer. Luckily the insurance could pay for most of it so I got a new mac. It's basically the same as my last one, except it is silver instead of white. But, now I have a problem with figuring out how to get my music from my iPod into my computer.
I also have a couple of new roommates this semester, and I have a new FHE group. I really like my new roommates, and I hope we get to know each other better. I like the people in my FHE group for the most part. There's a few guys from one apartment that don't seem to go as much as everyone else. I don't if it's because they're busy or if they think they're too cool to go.
I also want to talk about the snowboarding class I am taking. I was glad to find out that my friend Katie, who was in my writing class last semester, was taking the class. I was glad to know at least one person. The first day of snowboarding was great since it was beautiful outside, and it wasn't too cold. But, it hurt a lot since I fell a million times. I even hit my head since I accidently starting sloping down the hill backwards. At the second day I was a lot better, my instructer was even impressed. But, after learning to go down the mountain foward ,on the heels of our feet, we had to learn to go backwards on our toes. So I had a difficult time with that, and I was glad I had a helmet (the week before I didn't have one). Overall it is a lot of fun, and I think it will be great to learn snowboarding for winter next year.

Logo
This semester I am taking an Intro To Graphic Design class. It is the toughest class I have this semester. All the work has taken up a lot of my time, and my teacher is really picky. But, I have learned so much from this class. I have learned a lot about the process a graphic designer has to go through (Which is a lot more than I expected), and my design skills have improved while taking this class. Hopefully the next design classes I take won't seem so difficult after this one.
The Picture on the top is a logo I made for an assignment. We had to create a logo using a reptile theme. My "client" was a surfboard company, and I decided to use a turtle as my reptile since it fit with the ocean and surf theme. The process to create this project took the longest out of all the projects, but it was worth it. I think this is the best project I have done the whole semester.

Twilight the movie
I love the Twilight series. They are my favorite books, besides Harry Potter.
Yesterday I was able to see the movie. Everyone has their own opinion of it, but this is my review.
Many people already know this was a low budget film, and it was very obvious. Whoever did the make-up and hair jobs needs to be fired. The film kind-of reminded me of something that would be shown at a film festival, so it seemed amateurish. I thought it needed better character development. I think in this particular story the characters are more important than the actual plot. The characters are what draw you into the story, but I didn't think the movie did that as well. Everyone also knows this is a love story. Yeah in the book, there were some cheesy parts, but in the movie, some of the "romantic" scenes seemed too laughable.
I thought the character that was portrayed the best was Charlie (Bella's dad), and my other favorites were Alice, and Emmett (they are a couple of the vampires.) I wish they had bigger parts. My least favorite was the actor who played Jasper. During the whole movie his eyes looked like they have been glued open. In the book he is supposed to look emotional, but in the movie they made him look like he's in shock all the time. I couldn't help but laugh everytime he was on the screen; His facial expression was hilarious.
My favorite scene in the whole movie was the baseball scene. It was well done, and I wished it had lasted longer. It was fun to watch.
I really tried not to compare the movie with the book. Obviously it was no where near as good as the book. This film could have used a lot of improvement. Overall I thought it was okay, maybe if I watched it again i would like it better since I'll know what to expect.
But since the movie did so well this weekend the production company decided to make the sequel, New Moon. Hopefully this movie brings in enough money so they will be able to have a larger budget, and create a better movie.
