  Summer's Ending and Classes Start Tomorrow

  I'm all moved into my dorm and c!asses begin tomorrow. 2 semesters left and hopefully I'm finished with college. I am so ready to graduate. Of course I have no idea what I want to do once I graduate. I'm taking 5 c!asses this semester. 2 Anthropology c!asses (1 is an archeology c!ass), a personal finance c!ass, a sociology c!ass, and TV and Culture. This semester I'm hoping to get a college ring.

  Overe the summer I did nothing but recovery from laser corrective eye surgery. I had PRK which is different from Lasik. PRK can take up to 6 months for your eyes to heal. I had the surgery done a month ago. I've worn glasses since I was about 7 years old. I'm 22 now. When I was first considering getting the surgery done, the eye doctor said I might have to wait until I was 25. I'm so glad I was able to get it done sooner. My eyesight was in the 650 range. Now I'm at 20/25. It's amazing what technology can do. I was pretty blind without my glasses. Now I wake up and I can see everything. It's so amazing to be able to see. The only problems I have are at night sometimes I see halo around lights and if I spend too much time on the computer or watching TV too much my vision goes a little blurry. So I have to make sure I don't spend too much time on my laptop befor c!asses start. That way I can see the board and take notes.

  I'm Going to See AC/DC

  I got tickets to see AC/DC in concert on October 30. I can't wait to see them. The concert is on a Friday and I'll be away at school. But my dad is coming to pick me up the day of the concert and take me home. I go to school about 2-2 1/2 hours away from where I live. So it's not too far. In the last couple years I have been to 9 concerts/shows. In 2006, I saw Bon Jovi, and Ratt/Poison. In 2007, Guns N Roses. In 2008, Van Halen, Kansas, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Foreigner/Bryan Adams, and Bruce Springsteen. This year, I saw a Led Zeppelin cover band. Half of the bands I have seen had songs in Supernatural.

  There's just something about going to see a band perform live. Before I went to the Bon Jovi concert, I thought they were ok and I liked some of their songs. But once I saw them live, everything changed. I became a huge fan and have most of their albums. Still missing a couple. My favorite music is C!assic Rock. That's part of the reason why I love Supernatural so much. Because of the awesome music.

  50 Fun Things to Do in Wal-Mart

  I saw this posted on a board in a hall in my dorm. So I looked it up and thought I'd post it here.

  1. Take shopping carts for the express purpose of filling them and stranding them at strategic locations.
  2. Ride those little electronic cars at the front of the store.
  3. Set all the alarm clocks to go off at ten minute intervals throughout the day.
  4. Start playing Calvinball; see how many people you can get to join in.
  5. Contaminate the entire auto department by sampling all the spray air fresheners.
  6. Challenge other customers to duels with tubes of gift wrap.
  7. Leave cryptic messages on the typewriters.
  8. Re-dress the mannequins as you see fit.
  9. When there are people behind you, walk really slow, especially thin narrow aisles.
  10. Walk up to an employee and tell him in an official tone, "I think we've got a Code 3 in Housewares," and see what happens.
  11. Tune all the radios to a polka station; then turn them all off and turn the volumes to "10".
  12. Play with the automatic doors.
  13. Walk up to complete strangers and say, "Hi! I haven't seen you in so long!..." etc. See if they play along to avoid embarrassment.
  14. While walking through the clothing department, ask yourself loud enough for all to hear, "Who buys this crap, anyway?"
  15. Repeat Number 14 in the jewelry department.
  16. Ride a display bicycle through the store; claim you're taking it for a "test drive."
  17. Follow people through the aisles, always staying about five feet away. Continue to do this until they leave the department.
  18. Play soccer with a group of friends, using the entire store as your playing field.
  19. As the cashier runs your purchases over the scanner, look mesmerized and say, "Wow. Magic!"
  20. Put M&M's on layaway.
  21. Move "Caution: Wet Floor" signs to carpeted areas.
  22. Set up a tent in the camping department; tell others you'll only invite them in if they bring pillows from Bed and Bath.
  23. Test the fishing rods and see what you can "catch" from the other aisles.
  24. Ask other customers if they have any Grey Poupon.
  25. Drape a blanket around your shoulders and run around saying, "...I'm Batman. Come, Robin-to the Batcave!"
  26. TP as much of the store as possible.
  27. Randomly throw things over into neighboring aisles.
  28. Play with the calculators so that they all spell "hello" upside down.
  29. When someone asks if you need help, begin to cry and ask, "Why won't you people just leave me alone?"
  30. When two or three people are walking ahead of you, run between them, yelling, "Red Rover!"
  31. Make up nonsense products and ask newly hired employees if there are any in stock, i.e., "Do you have any Shnerples here?"
  32. Take up an entire aisle in Toys by setting up a full scale battlefield with G.I. Joes vs. the X-Men.
  33. Take bets on the battle described above.
  34. Nonchalantly "test" the brushes and combs in Cosmetics.
  35. While handling guns in the hunting department, suddenly ask the clerk if he knows where the anti-depressants are. Act as spastic as possible.
  36. Hold indoor shopping cart races.
  37. Dart around suspiciously while humming the theme from Mission: Impossible.
  38. Attempt to fit into very large gym bags.
  39. Attempt to fit others into very large gym bags.
  40. Say things like, "Would you be so kind as to direct me to your Twinkies?"
  41. Set up a "Valet Parking" sign in front of the store.
  42. Two words: "Marco Polo."
  43. Leave Cheerios in Lawn and Garden, pillows in the pet food aisle, etc.
  44. "Re-alphabetize" the CD's in Electronics.
  45. In the auto department, practice your "Madonna" look with various funnels.
  46. When someone steps away from their cart to look at something, quickly make off with it without saying a word.
  47. Relax in the patio furniture until you get kicked out.
  48. When an announcement comes over the loudspeaker, assume the fetal position and scream, "No, no! It's those voices again!"
  49. Pay off layaways fifty cents at a time.
  50. Drag a lounge chair on display over to the magazines and relax. If the store has a food court, buy a soft drink; explain that you don't get out much, and ask if they can put a little umbrella in it.
