Rants and Randomness

Ugh, class are not appealing to me today. Tempted to just skip and have a "me" day but I won't. I think it is Spring fever. It is just too nice of a day to be stuck inside a classroom study. Kittens need fresh air and sunshine!

I'm slightly annoyed at my Early Modern European History teacher. I worked my tail off on that last test and I recieved at B+. Both sides of the sheet were completely written on down to the last line so why wasn't it an A? It just really makes me mad when people who barely study, not to mention never read the assigned readings, take a test and get A's. I participate in class discussions, do all the readings, and do outlines for my test and still get B+! Oh well, not much I can do about it.

I left my charger at home and did not realize it last night till my phone was almost dead. Well that is quite a predicament seeing that on our campus, we have no landlines. Then I remebered I still had the USB cord thingy that plugs my phone into my computer and I could charge it on my laptop. The bad thing is that if I do it that way, it is insanely slow. It was 11:00 when I pluged it in and 12:20 when I took it out. Getting into bed later than normal is why I am so tired this morning.

Signed my up for an apartment yesterday, however, I'm not sure when I find out when or if I'll get one next fall. They are supposed to call me to let me know to come down and sign the contract if I do. If I don't? Well, I think I will just commute till the winter and then, in the second semester, get a dorm room.

Just a Spring Day : )

{Kitten comes hopping into blog and falls down into the sunlight} These last two days have been incredibly nice! The temperature has been in the upper 60s and I was told today could get into the 70s!!! That makes me a very happy kitty : ) Not to mention it is now officially Spring. Yesterday, I went to Lil Sis's campus and we had a nice, albeit, short walk. Poor Lil Sis, though, she was stung by a bee. We were sitting in the graveyard ( Yes there is a graveyard on campus where all the Sisters are buried) under a tree just resting. I had seen some bees flying around but I didn't think they would bother us. I was wrong. After Lil Kitten was stung, we were subsequently chased out of the graveyard. Those bees are quite bosssy aren't they?

I am also happy because I found out yesterday that I that I recieved a B+ on my Microbiology Lab Mid-term and that our nursing test, that I though I didn't do so well on, had an error, so it is in the process of being fixed. Then, today I found out that I got a B on Physiology Lecture and Cognitive Psychology tests.

The only sucky part of this this week is that I found out that room selection is this week. That means that there would be no way for me to room with Lil Sis if she did transfer. In light of this new information, I have almost defintely decided to just get an apertment. Yes, it is convient to be on campus and just have to class. It is going to take more of my time but the campus apartments are not that far away and I can have my own privacy and room to move around. I am in a "double room" and it is pretty small. The single room have barely any space.

No another note, I was talking to an old friend a few days ago and we started talking about Japan and we eventuall got to talking about Japanese music. I have to admit, I don't know all that much about Japanese artist but she recommended a singer named JUJU. I really liked her and put one of her videos below. The title is in Japanese so I'm not sure what it is. The person who uploaded the vid is axl800.

More Music

Oh another week is here, which means another fives days of class, which does not make for a very happy kitty in the lest and unfortunately I have a Microbiology test Friday. Yuck! Because of this I won't have too much time to write, so I thought I would post something quick tonight. A few days ago I mentioned that I had a new Russia artist that I found. I forgot her name but found it today after a few minutes of random typing. Her name is Alsou or in Cryllic Алсу. She was on Eurovision in 2000 and hosted it in 2009. According to Wikipedia, she has 3 Russian albumns and 2 English albumns, although I don't think any of her English ones were released in the US unfortunately. Here is her website http://www.alsou.ru/ however, I could not find a way to translate it, so it might be a little difficult to read if you don't know Russian but she has her music videos up on her site so it is more convient to find them then on YouTube.







The top video is from ello, the second video is from la0stakid, the third video is from reyesphile and the bottom video is from gothieaux.

The Not So Great Week

{Kitten steps into blog but slips on something, slides all the way across room, and lands in water bowl} It has just been one of those weeks where nothing has gone right. My Psychology teacher cancelled class Monday...but wait, isn't that a plus? Well yes it is but she forgot to tell us that we had two assignments due Wednesday so now I am down about ten points. Then I found out that I did not do so good on my nursing test and yesterday I learn that I did terrible on my Physiology Lab test. Speaking of Physiology, I had a test in lecture today and I just don't know how I did which up the wall. If I did bad I want to know so I can get upset and get over it. Finally, as if my body was trying to add insult to injury, I have been sick off and on the entire week! I sincerely hope everyone has had a better week than me.

However, Mother Nature seems to be taking pitty on this distraught kitty and has warmed the weather up a bit. Today is supposed to be in the 60's and tomorrow is going to hit 70 : ) Yay!!!!! My Lil Sis and I are are planning to go on a nice prommande around her campus. Unfortunately the flowers are not out yet. Her campus, my old one too, is so beautiful in the Spring and Summer. It is off the in Woods and it is like having a college in a secret garden. Also, I am supposed to see Cowgirl and her new baby Saturday, of which I am so excited because I have not had a chance to see the little guy yet.

All right, so I realized last night I have not put up in forgien music in a while. I meant to go back to Russian, but I can't seem to find the video's I want so I shall come back to that in a week or so. Since Russia has been put on hold why don't we try so arabic music. Nancy Ajram is one of my favorite (well, truthfully, the only) arabic singer. She is from Labanon and was born in 1983. She actually has a really nice website that gives more info that I can. Here is the link: http://www.nancyajramonline.com/en/ . This is in english but I think you can change to different languages. This music video, uploaded and translated by clintoncaudill on YouTube. The title is called  "Ehsas Jdeed."

Kitten and the Bug

{Kitten creeps into blog, sees something out of the corner of her eye, and bolts to climb onto the windowsill.} Why is Kitten so jumpy? Well, I have been visited by a very creepy looking bug and it has left me a little jumpy. Yesterday, I was sitting on my bed, reading my novel, when I see something brown moving quickly across the floor. I looked over and there was three inch long legged bug going as fast as his little legs could carry him. While some kittens love to play with bugs, this kitty all but faints at the sight of them. So what did I do? Well, after giving a "Yeeeek!" I threw my book at him. The bug did not go splat! like I had planned. I missed, as if to mock me, he climbed up on my novel and stayed there for about five minutes before deciding to go under my desk. I was in quite a predicament because I knew that I would never be able to sleep with that freak of bug in the same room. I decided I was going to have to set my fear aside and take this bug out. So I stood up on my bed and crossed over to my chair and sat on my desk. I happened to have my coffee pot going. It was lucky that the bug was in a spot out in the opening, since he had made the mistake of moving under my desk to right by my dresser. I felt a slight feeling of guilt at killing him by scalding, then I looked down at all those legs and decided, oh well, and poured the coffee. I poured quite abit and had a huge mess but I killed the bug!!! Yes I am bug free... I think....

Kitten's Spring Break

{In trots into blog after a very busy week} I can't believe Spring Break is already almost over but just 8 weeks left till Summer vacation : ) This has been a rather dramatic week. My half brother was being an idot and causing all kinds of trouble, I finally got to talk with James, and unfortunately, I was not able to see my Lil Sis as much as I would have liked.

I was supposed to see James today but I called him Wednesday and told him that a phone call would have to work because I had some things to do Friday. Anyway, I found that Aurora is going to have a baby! Which would explain some earlier drama that I had been left out of over the last couple of months. She is 4 1/2 months along so should have him or her sometime in August. Unfortunately I'm not sure when I will be able to see her and then baby since school will start back up again in August also.

Lil Sis, her new boyfriend, and moi went to town and had a nice time last Saturday. I had met him last August but just for a few minutes so I did not really get a chance to talk to him. I had a nice time and he seems like a nice guy. We went to PetLand and tried to hold a puppy but we were not able to because they were so busy. Then we we went over to the mall and walked around. Lil Sis, grudgingly told me that he was very amused at the way I tortured Lil Sis. I told her that now she had a purpose to all the pain I cause she had to be in the entertainment lol.

The the one thing that was a little disheartening about this Spring Break was that other than today, the weather has been fairly cold and damp. However, it usually is which is why I wish they would wait a few weeks to have it but, of course, they're not.

I have a new artist I found that I plan to write on soon. Bye bye till then

Japan's Earthquake

In the past few months there has been many changes. Egypt's President stepped down, there is fighting in Libya, and now a terrible earthquake happened. Japan really got hit hard. I have a few friends there but thankfully have heard from them all. Eri said that she was fine but was stuck at the station till tomorrow morning : ( Poor thing. I heard that other country were hit by the tsunami. I hope anyone reading this in the area is all right. Your in my pryers. Here is a video I found on youtube that was just post a few minutes ago.

Oh, the last post I wrote was not finished so sorry about that. I was interrupted half way through. I'll finish it later today.

Jena Lee- Mon Ange




Bonjour just dropped in to let you know about a new music video from Jena Lee. It just came out today and after watching it about ten times I think it is one of my favorites. I looked for one from her channel but it doesn't look like they have put it up yet. This was uploaded by Universal Music France.
