Day 8

Today was fine and well I just don't see how I'm going to get my 20pg paper written by next Friday. So I'm attempting to get my two final drawings done by Sunday and then crack down on my 20pg, and my final painting analysis.

Now Chobani Greek Yogurt, my new addiction. I've been doing some research and decided to fill you guys in too! Chobani comes in all sorts of flavors, like strawberry, peach, blueberry, pineapple, pomegranate, vanilla and honey.



So today I was standing in line waiting for my Western Omelet (Has Cheese, Ham, Onions and Green Pepper) and skinny fries when I kept seeing people get this yogurt. So in my every growing curiosity I looked at it and it was this Greek yogurt. So I snatched a container and bought it.

I bought a strawberry and being a yogurt fiend I left this delicious morsel for last. So I'm not usually a fruit on the bottom girl but I was willing to give it a chance. So when I too my first thick, creamy bite I was in bliss. It was great and the thickness of the yogurt was so much better than what I am used to. So I went back after my meal bought four containers and put them in my fridge. YUM~!

INFORMATION = from the Chobani site!!!

What’s Greek about Chobani Greek Yogurt?

We get this question a lot! Many people think that “Greek yogurt” refers to where we make our yogurt; however, it’s actually the way we make it that puts the “Greek” in Chobani Greek Yogurt.

Unlike some Greek Yogurt companies that add thickening agents to their yogurts for texture, you won’t find any thickeners, gelatins or stabilizers in our yogurt. Instead we use a centuries-old straining technique to remove excess liquid. This is why Chobani is so ridiculously thick and creamy and packed with two times more protein that regular yogurts. Hail to the Greeks…Greek Yogurt that is!

Can I freeze Chobani Greek Yogurt?

Yes. Frozen Chobani (or “FroCho” as we like to call it) can be frozen and stored for up to three months. While frozen, the cultures become dormant but once thawed, either in the refrigerator or by your body heat when eaten, they become live and active again.

FroCho will have a slightly different texture, whether eaten frozen or thawed, but makes a refreshing treat.

How does the fruit on the bottom of your flavored Greek Chobani taste so fresh?

We use only the highest-quality real fruit—none of that goop you tend to find on the bottom of other yogurt brands.

We then lightly sweeten our real fruit chunks with evaporated cane juice, a natural type of unrefined sweetener.


So I say try it!!!!!!

Day 7

Today was fun, had drawing and began one of my two final drawings and have gained the name Tentacle Head. But I haven't done much, I read book two of Paradise Lost and summarized it. Wrote my Classical Myth paper so I wouldn't have to pray to be skipped, and did more research.

I'm really happy about today, and will hopefully get started on my 15-20 page paper soon. But I seem to HATE research. It is really not that fun. I bet you can tell that this is going to end soon. And it is, it is my bed time. Sad but true. and I need to get sleeping since i wake up at 7:30AM and Glee fan-fiction isn't helping me on my way there.So I'm going to finish this last chapter and get truckin

Day 6

Well today was a pretty active day! After stumbling my way through Paradise Lost Book 1, I spent an hour praying to ever deity in the Greek Pantheon that my professor would not choose my vase painting of Heracles fighting the Nemean lion. I didn't have the paper written. But I'm happy to report that she skipped over my picture.

On a higher note! :) I am now EC Comix Treasurer for next year, and EC Lions Club Coordinator. Four friends and myself were inducted today into Lions Club International as a Branch club. It was pretty awesome. We are already planing a Good Will Drive and Organ Donor Sign Ups. I think were started up pretty well. I'm also running for a position in G.A.S.P. as V.P. I might get it you never know.

As for now I'm planning my two final drawings for Drawing 1 and slowly getting tired. I have to finish my research for my 20 page paper and get my other paper for Classical Myth finished for Wednesday.

Sorry for the odd weekend posts, I was over scheduled but hopefully it won't happen again. Working from 10pm to 2am really isn't fun and mix that with Rely for Life from 8pm to 8am and you get DEATH!

This has been a update on my life. Have a good night and pleasant tomorrow.

Day 5

Sorry for the late post, but I had relay for life until 8am today and then took a long nap.

I've shaved my head for 11 $ and I think that I should have gotten a little more but oh well. It was fun last night but I have blisters on my feet now, and I am really tired. But I figured I should update my blog before falling unconscious again.

There is a picture of me half dead outside the 'batcave' of the Comix club. We were watching Ironman. Though I can't say I really like that movie or Tony Stark, but the Ironman suit is pretty badass.

My sister is angry about my shaving my head but I can tell you that it fells okay.

Day 4

Today was very interesting, I had of course a Schwartz class and all my others. However I find myself loving the classes even more near the end of the term. Schwartz I believe is getting crazier and more awesome by the passing moment. I found a love for the poet Herrick, and the poem ' To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time' it seemed to set off the sparks of inspiration. The following lines shot an idea for a story through me head. "The glorious lam of heaven, the sun,/The higher he's a-getting,/The sooner will his race be run,/ And nearer he's to setting." It just seems to be a line that a vampire would say to someone.

Anyways, also today in ancient Greece we spoke about the fourth century. The craziness of it was hilarious, it was politics by preschoolers.

But it is two Am, and though I just got off of work I'm tired. :)

Day 3

I'm sorry I posted so early now, some pretty interesting things happened last night after my post.

But first introductions. Delaney and Kristina, are roommates, my friends who are going to be in the following story. Delaney plays field hockey, loves Halo and StarWars Battlefront just as much as me and is one of my better friends. Kristina is the board member in way too many clubs, she's funny and loves the same crazy movies I do.

Anyways last night Us three were going to Tops for Kristina to buy some things. We barely got 30 feet away from the parking space before we realized that the tire was flat. Then waited for Triple A to get there. This entire time of waiting was spent with me (freezing and on a sugar high) singing disco hits, and *Nsync songs. When the guy from Gary's Towing finally arrived he had an awesome beard, and was a tire ninja. The following tops adventure was filled with Kristina, Delaney and I having fun.

However moving onto today. For one my Drawing class was canceled. Yeah! For sleeping in. But even worse today I ran for a board position on WECW (the college radio station). I lost by a single vote. To a guy who joined half a term ago, I've been in WECW since freshman year. This sucks. But I might run for the P.R. position if Alyssa (who is my red-headed friend who is a spanish major and really funny) doesn't do so. She'll win.

My following depression sucked after losing. Well i suppose that depression is going to suck. But Kristina had a Overnight (a perspective student) and was having fun. We went to this weird psych experiment where I read about love and the parent/child connection which I had learned about in Intro to Psych. But now I'm waiting for a facebook reply about a paper...sorry this isn't that exciting.

Day 2

Morning Class at 8AM makes form some interesting conversation. Half sleeping people shuffling into the Campus Center for Major English Authors I, with Professor Schwartz. With only three weeks left in the term, dear readers you have missed many interesting things. As for today we read John Donne, and Marvell two great poets in their own right.

A friend of mine Julia, and I are the only two who seem to think that these two poets are pretty easily read and interpreted.

Oh! I have forgotten to introduce Julia, one of my newer friends. We met during our time as O.L.s this tear welcoming that class of 2013 in. She is a player of Dungeons and Dragons, and has just recently gotten into L.A.R.P.ing. She and some others have been trying to get me to join, and truthfully I have no interest in it. She shares my major with an added English Lit. Major. We are both the class of 2012. (Yeah dooms day)

I should explain the whole class year fiasco at my school. At E.C. we must introduce ourselves with out class year, example Adriane O'Hare'12. The class year must be there, even on papers. If it is missing you lose points. Crazy right?

Back to the class, My professor is a fun guy. Love so have fun and laugh at silly things in the works we read. Such as "The Relic" He couldn't stop laughing out loud.

Authors I, if I may so myself is one of my more interesting classed because of Schwartz. He explains things in very understandable ways that are also funny. He is fun, but by no means is his class an easy 'A'. You have to work hard to get a great grade in his class. But it still is fun.

With only three weeks left in this class I'll start throwing in some Schwartz-isms, and quotes. Such as "But! There is a but, and it's a big but it has two 'T's." It makes me laugh whenever he uses these sort of things.

My second and third classes are with Heidi, my academic advisor and professor. She is a fun woman though her classes can be death. But I guess that is understandable since most of her classes are in the Classics area. After that is yoga, which I have yet to go to since it starts at 2-ish. The weather is nice out and i belive we wil be going outside. Though I'd prefer not to. There isn't much I can say about it.

I'll be tired after this day but I hope this gives a little insight into my life so far...does it?

The Schwartz quote of the day!!!

"Books are like pants, you always brings them and you always wear them."

Day 1

I'm not a very selfish person from what I know. But I guess this is what this blog is about. I want to figure out what I'm going in this world. Why am I here? What do I love? This is my road to self discovery. However let me start by introducing myself.

I am Adriane, a girl who lives in New York and goes to school at Elmira College. I'm an amateur artist and writer. My major is Classical Studies, with two minors in Art and English Lit. I'm six feet tall, (naturally) blond, however my hair is always changing, with blue eyes.

My family is large, I suppose. I have three older sisters all which have at least one child. My parents are, though not always happily, married and I technically live with them in Syracuse. I have a single Aunt and Uncle who have six children. Though I don't suppose that I will be speaking very much about them.

I have many friends that will probably make some sort of appearance and might come and go as my life progresses.

I have no real clue where this blog is headed but I hope I personally will get somewhere with it's help...I'll have a living archive of my life. I might not make the same mistakes twice, (hopefully) but life is hectic.

My goal here is to write a entry everyday about my thoughts and happenings. I'll hopefully have a physical journal in my hands at all time and be able to jot down what ever thoughts glide through my head at any time.

I hope readers (however few there may be), that you will help me through this journey of life.
