hey peeps whats the word

I totally have a crush on my nutso Spanish professor. His name is Fuad and he rides his bike everywhere. His native tongue is Arabic, but he's also fluent in Spanish, French, and English. It's a very good possibility that this crush of mine stems from the fact that I am green with envy of his proficiency with languages. Just the same, I couldn't help but swoon when he called me "Sarah-ita" last class. He's way weird, though. One morning he left class, toothbrush and toothpaste in hand, then came back a couple minutes later without mention of it. Today he rocked a pair of purple jeans. Basically he's a g.

This morning was ROUGH. I woke up 15 minutes before my Spanish test started at 8am. So that was really freaking cool. I passed out around 10 last night because I was so ridiculously tired, with the intent of waking up at 5 to shower and study before the test. Then none of that happened. I barely brushed my teeth and shed my slippers before I woke up sweet Abby and had her drive me to class. I stumbled into Gilbert frazzled and braless, hair crusted with sweat from working out the night before, and was just loving life. LOVING IT! Yayy 8ams!

I don't know why I even bothered going to Linguistics today. All we did was go over the stupid homework that I had already dominated. So, I sat in the back row and spent my hour and fifteen minutes productively, catching up on the latest at perezhilton.com. Duh. FYI: Clay Aiken scored a spot as a guest judge on the next cycle of ANTM. He is just loving being out of the closet! And everyone signed on for the sequel to Sex and the City! Hooray! And sexyy Paul Walker (35) is engaged. To a 19 year old. They started dating when she was 16!! Vom.

It's okay if you are judging me right now.

Good news for the world: Researchers have discovered a new source to produce alternative fuel--coffee! I did my final project for Deany last semester on biofuels, but had to conclude that they were not the solution we need for a variety of reasons, one of which was the food vs. fuel debate. Biofuels developed from corn, maize, and vegetable oil are controversial because farmers are harvesting these crops to sell them off for biofuel production to get a bigger profit, and therefore the global food supply is suffering. With coffee, though, you can have your cake and eat it too, if you will. The coffee grounds are just as capable of becoming fuel after having already been used to brew a cup of coffee. Like all other alternative fuel solutions, this isn't "the answer". Our answer lies in a combination of all of our different options and in conserving at an individual level. Nonetheless, this is definitely a step in the right direction! Read more about it at economist.com.

When Anderson Cooper asked the prez if he's had a smoke since being in the White House, Barack says he "hasn't had a smoke on these grounds." I mean as disgusting as smoking is, you can't deny the man looks damn sexy with a smoke in his mouth..

So I will let his sketch response slide.

Eff. I have flying lessons at 8am tomorrow. Then a bio test back in Athens at 1. A bio test I have yet to start studying for..

Ave Maria.

peace love and sarah-ita

GREAT NEWS: Pre-Nursing is no longer a major at UGA. Better yet- you can't even have a Pre-Nursing emphasis! WOO HOOOOOO

Basically my life is in shambles. Right now would be an excellent time to start studying for my French test tomorrow. Alas, here I am, appeasing the masses with my words of enlightenment. So enlighten I will..

While perusing urbandictionary.com, I struck gold (no surprise there):

Gangsta Flakes: A cereal similar in nature to Lucky Charms; but, instead of sissy stars and rainbows, Gangsta Flakes includes guns, knives, ho's, and of course, gangsters. One may feel particularly gangster after a bowl or two.
Celebrate diversity and eat Gangsta Flakes!
Can't be a gangster? Do the next best thing- eat Gangsta Flakes! You'll be ballin in no time.

You better believe I will be stocking up on Gangsta Flakes tomorrow when I force myself to go to the grocery store. I seriously need to get my shiz together. My milk is spoiled, all I have left are the endsies from my loaf of bread, and tico cookies currently comprise the majority of my food supply. Today I sustained myself on dried fruits and a contraband chicken salad sandwich stolen from the dining halls by my dealer [of sandwiches]. So tomorrow I have a date with Kroger. And Gangsta Flakes.

Chuck Norris is suing MySpace for taking the name of what he calls everything around you.

I am currently infatuated with ostriches. It started two weekends ago when me and my St Simons fam saw the Dirty Jobs episode about ostrich farming. For those of you who are unimpressed with ostriches, you should know that ostriches run at about 46 mph--the top land speed of any bird. Also, a swift kick to the neck from these babies will result in immediate death to the so-called "king of the beasts," the lion. The female ostrich prefers pecking to kicking. For those of you who missed the Dirty Jobs episode, the best part was when they made the ostrich noise...


On that note, I bid you adieu. I'm sorry, but you just can't follow an act like that. You just can't.

peace love and HOO HOO

WATTUP WORLD

I have missed you ever so much. Although Athens is admittedly no Costa Rica, don't think my life is any less awesome. Let's be real.

SO classes are destroying me. What was I thinking trying to just jump into a 16 hour semester? I spent last semester in Costa Rica basically having everything I touched turn to gold. I came out of an Ecology class with an A. I mean really? Ruh-dic. And so I was left with a severely inflated ego, hence the recent addition of a second major: Pre-Nursing. Too bad I can't even handle Romance Languages anymore! My French has been shot to hell. Gracias C Rica! Muchisimas gracias..

Oy vey.

I'd like to take a minute to make a tribute to my bff Charlie and his unbelievably fabulous life. Please note that his fabulousness only contributes to my own by association, and in no way does it take away from the fabulousness that is my life. That being said, Charlie's life RULES. He goes to USC and lives in a fancy LA apartment and goes to a fancy LA gym where he sees celebs all the freaking time. Last week I got a call after he ran side-by-side with Channing Tatum, and then another after he witnessed Janice Dickinson throwing a bitch fit to her personal trainer. Not to mention his being on the red carpet for the Twilight premiere. Oh and he's a model slash actor. Who does triathlons. Who summers in the Caribbean. Riddle me this: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CHARLIE WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE A BLOG?!

HOT MESS (whom I love)

I went and saw Joshua Radin's concert on Friday night. He was great. I went with Cayman and Abby and we thought he was super cute, up until we went to go get a picture with him after the show and he had Sleezy McIfUSeekAmy on his arm. Chica was on the prowl. We took our cue to keep walking when she grabbed his ass. Cayman did get a picture with precious Jesse Harris, who told her that he loved her dancing. Ah!

Before the concert us LLCers went over to Dean and Kathy's for high dinner. I love them so very very much. Deany prepared a feast for us! We had delicious ensaladas and then linguine with tilapia and shrimps. Kathy made us a black forest cake. And of course there was C Rican cafe. Delicioso! I can't wait til we go over there again. I just can't get enough of those two! We suggested a sleep-over for next time..

WHAT ELSE? Oh for those who haven't seen my new favorite commercial, here it is for your viewing pleasure: HIGH LIFE!

Birthday Countdown: 24 days.

Okay much love peeps. I'll be back soon. Ciao!

peace love and high life!
