Mardi Gras In St. Louis

This past weekend, my best friend, Tiffany, and I went to Mardi Gras in St. Louis. Needless to say it was a crazy good time. The only downfall was that it was freezing (literally) outside. Dressed in at least 5 layers each, even the mass amounts of booze couldn't keep us warm. Now really we didn't have that much to drink, but it was really cold.

Here is a picture of the girls I went with.


Tiffany, Me, Stephanie, and Becky

My So Called Life

I love to reminisce about everything. While thinking about the old tv show "Popular" I remembered "My So Called Life." Good Old Claire Danes with red hair and her crazy friend...oh what was her name? Well, I have decided that from now on when I am bored I will watch this show. There is more to come later.

What I Learned as a History Major:

1. Syphilis: an oldie but a goodie
2. "Warm Relations" a great term for nookie
3. Hitler ate 1 lbs of chocolate a day as well as got off when girls peed in his mouth--eww
4. John Smith is a Liar. He wasn't good looking like in the movies and Pocahontas didn't care about him at all. Stupid narcissist
5. Frederick Jackson Turner "Frontier Thesis" 1893
6. Hooker: term that came from General Hooker in the Civil War who "had a way with the
ladies"
7. President Monroe is the only president to be wounded in battle.
8. Croce an Italian historian, not an Annales school
9. A "Flank" is a fancy term for turning an army
10. The worst president ever was Buchanan
11. Hitler also wanted to be an artist, but wasn't very good
12. President Polk added the most territory to the US
13. There is someone named Fukuyama. Best name EVER.
14. Dr. Seuss used to make WWII propaganda films before he was known as Sr. Seuss
15. Always check people's sources. Sneaky F---ers will make them up.
16. Beaver wars, an actual war. Not a quest for the ladies....lol
17. Indian tribes in the south were the original Village People
18. For more drama in your notes add music. ex: and then the french introduced whiskey to
the Indians. Buh Buh Baaahhh
19. Another term for whoopie, "physical synchronicity"
20. Reading is overrated. Everything you need to know about a book you can learn from the
cover of a book and a book review.

Money, Oh Money, Where art Thou?

Checking the status of my credit card this morning, I had a rude awakening. I am broke. As this is the case with most college students I don't expect any pitty from anyone. However, I am quite confused as I have 2 jobs. Granted, I work only about 25 hours a week at the most, but still. So where is my money going?

Booze? No, I only spent $25 this month out and about.
Food? Could be. I spent about $150 eating out and at the grocery store. I am making an effort to eat at home more which has already saved me about twenty bucks this week alone.
Clothes: Not this month. After last months disastrous $200 bill for clothes I only spent $8.75 at the clothing store I work at which was for 2 super duper clearance items.
Misc: Nope. I went to the movies twice the whole month and bought one $5 movie (Romeo + Juliet with Leo DeiCaprio and Claire Danes) and one Birthday card for 3 dollars.

The Verdict:
I need to become anorexic which would save me plenty of money. Just Kidding. I love food way too much to do that.

*As a side note I did fail to mention the $100 dollars my friend conned me into spending on the Bud Light tent for Mardi Gras in St. Louis....BUT in my defense I am only young once and have never been.
