Homesick.

I am Homesick. And I don't like it.
Ya kno, you would think I would stop being homesick by my junior year, but no, I'm not.
I think this is pretty usual for me though. Like I haven't my family in such a long time, and I only talk to them occassionally. Yeha I just can't wait till Thanksgiving, I'm definitely looking forward to more than the food this time.


BUT, HOW 'BOUT THEM 'CATS, Y'ALL?!
WON 17-10 to an undefeated #4 IOWA!
Pretty much awesome-ness. Really kinda upset that I did not go, but it's alright.
Still a great win...
We are now 6-4, which means bowl eligibility, we need to win next weekend against Illinois,
which I'll be at with the band. And it'll be my 5th time going to this stadium (whatever it's name is....)
so not that excited about that, AT all.....



Just watched the Terminal,



starring Tom Hanks (his son btw goes to Northwestern now...) as a foreign guy from some country (Krakozhia, fictional place btw), so basically he's just stuck in an airport, literally. I won't give away the movie, but um....
It's was an alright movie. Probably Definitely wouldn't watch it again. Yeap.

so by updating, (and publishing these here words) I am procrastinating, I really need to be working on
my CS class. I'm like so behind in that, but I'm just seriously tired of the thought of classes.....uhhhhhhh

but anywayz.
I'll Holla!

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Hey My Name Is Not Susan.

Seriously it's not. So don't call me that. Ever! (or I'll punch you in the liver)

Actually the title's a name of  a song by the one and only Whitney Houston.
watch this video, it's got Whitney dancing ( I see some New Edition moves in there!)



Probably the worst Whitney song ever! If you can find worst-er one let me know.

here's a funny thing I found.

Purple Streakers

on the NU campus. Apparently they do this all the time, but I've never seen them in my 2 years of being here, guess it's a frat thing, which would explain why I've never seen it.
I would love to do this personally, at least once in my life, i meant streak in general, not to be a purple streaker.

----------------..

oh and did you happen to hear about the toddler that got stuck in a CTA door, but then fell on the track?
(wait why am I asking you questions? wait that's another question.)

read the article about it here. 

I mean I have so many jokes about the CTA, I should start my own comedy routine on it. SERIOUSLY!
(like about the fact I don't get a U-pass even though I live 15 miles from Chicago, what the CTA would be like if I was a CTA train operator, random stories about random people I've met on CTA. you kno, maybe I'll take that up one day)

BUT Like I don't want to ride the CTA for real now. First you raise the fare to 3 bucks, and my safety is not f'ing secure!
Bull crap! SERIOUSLY I'm not about to spend 6 dollars when I could totally get stuck in a door and DIE!. and then I saw on the news they asked a CTA official guy about the doors, he said he couldn't answer questions about the CTA doors closing properly. whaaa?

 I mean I'm just gonna stop riding the CTA all together (like that's ever gonna happen)

ooo I haven't done this in awhile...
Random Picture Time!!!



this reminds me off that Madea quote "How do you have a butt in the back and the front?" 
nevermind the random oompa loompas. if you're looking for some random photos though,
Please check out Explainthisimage.com, I just laughed my butt off looking at the pictures on the site.

okay that's it for real.
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

Blackface.

 IS NOT COOL. for any reason. people find it offensive. so you shouldn't do it.

If you haven't heard two NU students dressed up in blackface for Halloween, or should I say as black people, not sure of their intention, but it definitely came off as blackface.

I don't think they should have done it. I would like assume that those gentlemen didn't know about the history of blackface, and maybe that's why they felt it was alright. I would hope that it wasn't supposed to be a stereotype of black people. But this just demonstrates the  lack of awareness people have about race on the NU campus.

I myself am not that upset at the incident. I just hope people know that blackface not cool. And I expected people, especially the black community, to get upset about something like this. I think it was kinda stupid for them to post the pictures on the facebook. but hey.

there's supposed to be a discussion of the blackface tomorrow, educating people about it. I myself didn't know that much about it. If you want info now you can check wikipedia, as I did.

yes this was a serious post. I will do that from time to time.

Instead of Studying for my midterm

I've found it a must-updation about this music jewel (it's my precious) I found.............
I may straight listen to this chick for 2 weeks. She's sick, in many ways unimaginable.....
don't know who I'm talking about?

I'm talking about Ledisi

If you like neo soul or  R&B seriously you should love her. She's definitely alot more jazzy, but she's
one of the few people whose every song I'm just like AMAZING. Please just go to imeem and type in Ledisi, and hit play or something......

Like usually when I'm studying, which I was, I try to play Neo-Soul music, it calms me down when I thinking about all this crazy numbers stuff, but this woman does some crazy things with her voice: the harmonies, the rythm, i mean her scatting, her expressitivity (??) craz,. That i just couldn't concentrate on my studies w/o being like "wait that lick/run was so sick!"

Like I heard of her before, but I never really looked into any of her music, really mad I hadn't earlier.
Like seriously she is a music jewel that has just been added to my favorite music list and will be continually on repeat for Lord knows how long.

Yeah just wanted to share this with you, cuz I can!

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Time Keeps on Slippin Into the Future

well, DUH stupid! 
everyone knows that.
Here's the video, the song's actually called Fly Like An Eagle





 (this is the Seal (Heidi Klum's husband) version that I remember from Space Jam for some reason)

but seriously Time Keeps on Slipping into the Future, seeing as how it's already November 1st! CRAZINESS!!!!
I feel like it was just September (well it was...kinda). this quarter gonna be over soon AND I'm gonna be 21 really soon 35 days (COMMENCE COUNTDOWN!)............

yeha dude I'm gonna be so freaking old, but that alright, it's life.

sooo the 'CATS lost to Penn State :-(. I mean everyone kinda expected it, but I was praying for an upset. We were getting there in the first half, then Kafka randomly left the game (apparently from a hamstring injury thingy) and he didnt return to the game, leaving Persa, the second-string quarterback, to try to keep the momentum going. FAIL. but that's alright. We still got another chance for an uspet against Iowa next week, who is currently 9-0, and us beating them would be major awesomeness.

not much else is going on. I'm trying to coordinate/do this NCE publicity, it's like all I've been really thinking about. and I have a midterm on tuesday, that I'm not studying for right now........
but everything's gonna be alright.......

sometimes ya gotta just keep telling yourself that , even if it won't, you gotta believe that, or your gonna be stressed about crazy stuff. there's no need to worry, like seriously things work out. not always like ya think, but they will. yeha i kno right i'm SO FREAKING deep..........

i'm gonna get back to my procrastination
that's it
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!
