slightly better..

so, yesterday was my voice jury...i'm still not sure how i was able to sing thw whole thing like i did.  i woke up yesterday morning with hardly any voice, and i overall felt like crap.  but, thanks to the joy that is DayQuill, i miraculously was able to sing my jury really damn well.  mark, my voice teacher, told me that that was actually some of the best singing he's heard from me all year.  go figure.  as soon as i was done singing, i came back to putnam and passed out for a few hours.  i was awake long enough to watch an episode and a half of Whose Line is it Anyway?  before going back to sleep for the night, sans about an hour around 3:30am when i just couldnt sleep for the life of me.

today...sucked.  not gonna lie.  when i finally was able to will myself up off of my futon at about 11:30, i tried eating some cereal..didnt go over well.  so now, at 4:45pm, it's been about 26 hours since i have eaten, unless you count the 2 flavorice popscicles that i just had.  i really need to get some food in me.  yaaay for boyfriends who bring soup.  (in case you didnt get the painfully obvious reference, kyle is bringing me soup soon.  he is SO the greatest). 

okay, so i am missing Gilmore Girls to be writing this post, and i really dont want to miss 7th Heaven (i am SO the biggest nerd ever, and i LOVE it)

Here's to hoping that your finals week is going better than mine. not that my finals arent going well, because they are going surprisingly well (see above), i just feel gross.  ~Kristine

New Underwear

i spent another fun evening with meghan quinn.  it really is quite nice to finally have a female friend whom i can hang out with in ec.  i really do not have a whole lot to say here, except for that i am tired of having swollen glands in my throat.  i had hoped i was done with swollen things in my throat when i had my tonsils taken out in august, but i guess not.  i also really hope that it doesnt hurt this much to swollow tomorrow come my voice jury.  i can lose my voice after tomorrow, because all i'll have left finals wise will be things that dont really require me to talk, but my voice jury...i'm kinda gonna need to sing for it.  there's no real getting around that. 

so i guess i have re-gotten (i realize that isnt a word:  just go with me) good at rambling on about nothing in this here xanga.  it gives me something to do before crawling into bed, but it doesn't require much thought at all.  yaay for thougthless wastes of time and energy.  actually, it's really good that this wastes energy, because otherwise i would not be able to fall asleep when i need to.

seriously.  if anyone is still reading, i'm sorry for how pointless this is.

i guess i could stop wasting your time (if you are still reading).  i'm off to go and get ready for bed.  i cannot wait to get my contacts out of my eyes...they are really starting to drive me nuts.  just the right one, really.  go figure.

alright, goodnight for real.  sweet dreams, xanga. ~kristine

So, I spent about an hour this afternoon going back and reading all of my previous Xanga entries.  It's kind of sad (actually sad, not pathedic sad) how much my updates have been lacking in the past year.  There was a time when I wrote everything in here, and now...not so much.  At first I used the excuse that there were suddenly way more people reading this than before, but you know, after reading what I have written in the past, I am usually pretty cryptic in what i put in here when i want/need to be.  so I guess I dont have a good excuse for ignoring xanga.  sorry. 

Well, finals start tomorrow.  i have my human sexual biology exam at 8am, and i am not sure how i feel about it.  i mean, i never know how to prepare for his exams, because it seems as if the more i study for that class, the worse i do.  my theory on that is because the more i study, the more i am thinking about the exam, therefore i am worrying more.  and when i worry, i can't accomplish anything really, so it's best for me to just not study, or rather, to just not study as much, so as to not worry.  it's a never ending, evil cycle.  but at least i finally caught on to how to works, so maybe i can make it end one of these days. 

p.s. this is already longer than my last 7 months of updating, i think.  that's pathedic.

wanna hear about my weekend?  of course you do, or else you wouldnt still be reading this.  Friday night was fun.  I finally hung out with people.  it only took me two years of college to do it, but it finally happened.  i went to dinner at grizzly's with tompkins, luke, amy stanfield, monica, lanners, demerse, and katy eckes.  it was a grand ol' time.  and then we were off to the 5E concert..it was my first 5E concert experience, unless you count acapella extravaganza, which i am not counting.  it was a whole lot more fun than i thought it would be.  and holy cow, were there ever a lot of people (mostly girls) there.  my favorite part of the concert might have been when chester bay started playing.  that was really, quite cool.  nice work, 5E.  i approve.  and then, of course, was my night at Ethyl.  before i went there, however, i went to keckes' house with the people from dinner plus a few more randoms (well, not really randoms, because we knew them, but random as far as who was and wasn't with us at dinner and the conert).  but it was so much fun!  i hate (yeah, right) to admit it, but i may have had a little more to drink that night than i have in a long, long time. but it was well worth it.  i met some new people, which is always nice, and i was able to see some other people that i haven't seen in a while.  oh, and i was mafia.  or at least that's what i told everybody.  shhh....dont tell anyone that i was mafia... 

Saturday was spent recovering from friday.  and then, come 5 or 6pm when i could finally think straight, i spent the rest of the night cleaning to a girly-movie marathon.  i watched ever after, corpse bride, prime, and the american president.  it was a nice evening.  i got some stuff packed up, and figured out that i have about 1/3 the crap i had at the end of last year in my dorm.  it will make moving out MUCH easier. 

Speaking of moving out, i am moving out of putnam on thursday night, so i will back in the twin cities from then until august-ish.  i am excited.  i am ready for a change of scenery.

Sunday, today, when i wasnt reading old xanga entries, i was cleaning, packing, and studying for bio (bad idea, i know).  the thing that sticks out most in my mind about today is the fact that i spent over an hour cleaning dead bugs and dirt out of the window sill and i am still not done.  talk about disgusting. 

okay, i have been rambling for quite some time, so i will leave you be for the night.  for those of you still finishing up your semester, stay strong until the end and good luck with your finals!  and to those of you already home, you suck.  and i can't wait to see you this weekend. 

much love!   ~Kristine

Why do I even try?  I've burned a few bridges just to stay where I am, and for what?  People don't even know my name.  Kristine Becker.  How hard is that?  Last year people thought I was Kristine Barker, and this year people think I am Kris Born.  I don't get it.  I just don't get it.
