Hello blogger world!
First and foremost: HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL! I know it wasn't the BEST birthday you've ever had (REALLY, who gives their kids chores and schedules a doctor's appt on their birthday!) but I'm glad it could be better because of me! =)
So, I'm leaving for New Jersey in less than 36 hrs! woo! I am so excited to see all of my cousins and aunts, uncles and grandparents! I'm also nervous/excited for Michael to meet my whole family =) I know they'll like him. EVERYONE likes him! Even girls I hate that make him cocky because they all fawn all over him! Hopefully I'll get a good tan!
The other day, we were talking about what we would do if we won a million dollars (or 60 million dollars cause that's what the lottery is like now) and this is what I've decided I would spend it on:
1. Pay off my whole family's debt. Except for any credit card in Gloria's name because I hate her.
2. Set up some trust funds for my future kids (I'll plan for 3 and see how that works). Hopefully I won't find out how many kids I'm having too soon.
3. Buy a new car!!!!!!! Probably and audi or a mercedes. I LOVE MERCEDES.
4. Buy a FUN car! (First, I'd try to buy my dad's '69 yellow Firebird convertible) If that doesn't work, then I'll go hunting for another firebird to get. Then I'd buy the new 2010 CAMARO. like the one in Transformers *drool*
5. Donate a lot to a charity of my choice
6. Make my whole wardrobe burberry and buy every kate spade purse
7. Buy a beach house, regular house, and mountain house near or at a ski resort!
8. Summer long or maybe longer trip around the world. I wanna fill my passport!!! and a few suitcases with souveirs
well, I think that's enough to spend it on...
I probably won't write again until after my trip when I post some awesome fun pictures!
Peace out!

SO HAPPY!
I'm so happy Michael came down this weekend! The past 2 months, I've been living four hours away from him and have barely seen him. When I have seen him, it's only for a couple hours at a time and usually only for a couple days. But now, he came to visit ME and we can lay in bed and cuddle as much as we want without interruption. =)
It's hard with a long distance relationship to keep that strong bond and connection that you have with someone when you're together. We managed ok but it's been hard. Our jealous sides have definitely come out. But now that we're here together, everything just fits right back into place and it's like we've spent no time apart at all! For the rest of the summer, I will not have to spend as much time away from him as I have at the beginning of the summer and I'm very glad about that. I'm excited for next year when we're living within a 2 minutes walk of each other.
I am so happy right now!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU MICHAEL. Happy early birthday too.
Sorry to everyone that I am so sickeningly and cutsy-ing-ly in love. I hope I don't annoy anyone lol

IIIINTERESTING DAY
So much has happened today both in my personal life and in the world.
Tutoring went really well today. We kinda bonded. Is it sad that I watch a lot of the same TV shows as an 8 year old? hm..
I have finally cleaned my room! Well, I'm almost done. Just a little more clutter to organize and some dusting left to do. Then, I only have the bathroom to clean and the dishes to do! OH JOY!
Today has been a very sad day for the entire world. Farrah Fawcett was in international beauty and icon. Everyone recognizes her, especially her hair. I always loved her hair! There was an episode of Shear Genius where Farrah was a guest judge. It was my favorite episode! Creating that hairstyle is NOT easy! Already saddened by that, it was hard to believe that the day could get worse. Then, it did.
Michael Jackson is a legend. Probably not sense the death of John Lennon or Elvis has there been such devastation in the music world. Often, we portray celebrities, especially those as legendary as Michael Jackson, as invincible so it comes as much more of a shock to us when something like this happens.
Probably the most shocking thing to happen, was that some people were as disrespectful as to mention the scandal behind his life and death. Can't we even give him 24 hours to let him find peace! What about his family? They want to remember the good things about him especially in the days to come. I'm sure every single person out there would be even more devastated if people were talking about your loved one's dirty laundry on the day of their death.
Lastly, I want to mention how obsessed I am with twitter!!! It's so entertaining. I follow more celebrities than friends now, like Perez Hilton and John Mayer. It's very entertaining, especially when Perez gets into drama with other stars! Today's twitter fight was between Perez Hilton and Pete Wentz. LOL
Well, that's all for today. I better get back to my cleaning! AH is it already 10:30????? I better get to work!

Tutoring
I have a feeling it's going to be a LONG summer tutoring Hannah. It's only been 3 days and so far one of those days has been cancelled and one day has been pushed back an hour.... I'm glad that I'm a punctual person!
Today Michael and I have been dating for 9 months. We decided not to make a big deal out of months anymore...just years/half years. I've never been in this long of a relationship. It's exciting! It's also his mom's b-day. Happy Birthday Mrs. Schaaf!

Post-Feminism
I decided, or rather discovered, today that I am a post-feminist. The definition of Post-Feminism that I most fit with is the belief that feminism is no longer relevant in today's society. I guess I also relate with some contemporary feminists that believe that separating the sexes rather than uniting them is sexism. Many traditional feminists do just that: separate the sexes.
I think that pointing out the differences between men and women rather than the similarities only separates the two genders even more, thus, leading to inequality. So many people are willing to claim that they are feminists but then revert back to pre-feminist ways like depending on a man to live and to be happy.
For example, there are all these shows on TV now that portray "independent" women who are successful and comfortable with their sexuality and have exciting sex lives. On the other hand, their emotions and feelings are constantly at the mercy of men. Go ahead, be independent and fight for the equality! Do that, but don't be a hypocrite and revert back to the traditional gender roles. You can't have both! You can;t pick and choose when you want to be equal and when you expect a man to be in the lead.
I don't get why women fight for equality in the workplace but they also expect a man to open a door for her or pay for her meal on a date. Traditionally, a man would pay for a date because he made more money or he was courting the woman. Don't expect equality AND to be treated differently (like giving up his seat on the bus for you or paying for your meal). You just can't have both!

5 am
So, I have this job now tutoring an 8 yr old with her math because she got behind during the school year. Today at 10 am was supposed to be day one. I had planned on leaving Atlanta last night around 4 or 5 pm to come to Statesboro but then in conveniently began storming. I decided that I would stay the night in Atlanta and wake up early the next day to get home by 10 for tutoring.
I was pretty happy about this because that meant I could spend more time with Michael :)
I went to trivia with him and his friends. It was fun even though we cheated, and, as a soon-to-be teacher, I wasn't too excited about that. His friends are nice too. They're a little boisterous and towards the end of trivia they totally weren't paying attention but it was still good.
After that we went to brusters where I FINALLY got a banana split! YUM Totally worth $5
After that, I went home to go to bed early to prepare for the drive the next day. That turned into me talking on the phone with Michael til past midnight!
Despite not going to bed when I had planned, I was able to wake up at 5 and take a shower and eat breakfast in time to be on the road by 5:45. I get off the exit for Statesboro at around 8:40 (GREAT TIME RIGHT?!!) and get a call from the mom of the girl I'm tutoring. Guess why she's calling??? TO CANCEL!! Apparently, her daughter went to a sleepover last night and now she can't get a hold of her soooooo yea. GLAD I WOKE UP AT 5!
buuut now I'm here and have more time for the pool :) I wish Michael were down here with me though :( He's coming this weekend so I only have to wait a few more days :)
So, it's only 10 am and I have so much so far to write about my day! Maybe I'll wake up early more often

My first blog
So, this is my first blog ever!
Well, I had a xanga but that was in high school and it was kinda dumb. I wrote some stupid things.
So should I introduce myself to blogger world? I guess I could although I don't think anyone will ever read this!
My name's Catherine and I go to Georgia Southern University. I love the school but I HATE it's location..mainly because rednecks and really really really really really southern people also live there. I just can't wait to get out of the south.
I hate trucks, expecially lifted trucks, loud cars, the Georgia flag and the Confederate flag, WalMart, camo, hunting, guns in general, most country music, and cowboy boots. I also don't like Southern "charm" or the idea that men are supposed to be "Southern gentlemen." Why can't men and women just be polite for each other?? Can't I open a door for you once in a while? Oh, and I absolutely HATE tea--iced or hot, they're both gross.
So, as you can see, I don't really fit in well with many people in my area. Thankfully, the campus is diverse enough where I can meet non-rednecks.
So now you probably think I'm a big hater considering my longest paragraph so far is of things I hate. I do love a lot of things too though!
I love my amazing boyfriend, Michael, who is my other half--somtimes I think he's my other three-forths. We've been dating for 9 months now and even though we've had some bad days together, there have been triple the amount of good days to counter them. I love all of my great friends! I don't have many close friends but I know that the ones that I DO have are true. I have many not-so-close friends that I love hanging out with but would never count on them and probably would never confide in them. I love my family. Even though it was a rocky one growing up, I still love my fam and would do anything for them! I especailly love my brothers and my dad even though they get on my nerves a lot. I'm very close with my grandparents and extended families. My cousins and I talk regularly and I'm going to see them next week! I can't wait!
I love gossip! I don't know why. I love hearing about people's dirty (and clean I guess) laundry. My favorite thing to hear about is when someone gets what they deserve! I love figuring out who knows who and how or why, who's dating who and will it work out? Call me crazy, but my life's pretty boring so I have to entertain myself with other people's lives. I usually don't meddle. I just absorb information like a sponge. I bet people would be surprised if they knew how much I know about people. I don't juudge them though. If i hear or see something about someone, I always make sure to give them a chance myself. Everyone has their quirks.
What else do I love?? I love math, hence why I'm a math major. I plan to teach math at a secondary level after graduation. Teaching is my passion and I've known this my whole life. I guess I'm lucky that way--never being confused about what to major in or what I want to do with my life. I love food--sometimes too much. My favorites are chocolate, pizza, and mac and cheese but there are many things close to the top too. I love cooking and eating! I'm surprised I'm not 800 pounds by now!
I guess you have somewhat of an idea of who I am blogger world! Let's see if anyone reads this! I doubt it. There are much more interesting people in the world. Of course I'll blog here, but I think I'll spend more time on others' blogs reading about their lives! Even though I busy myself with other people's live and knowing everything about someone, I am still perfectly happy with mine. I wouldn't change how things are for the world!
