Study Study Study

I feel like all I've been doing lately is studying! I knew this semester was going to be hard, but seriously..


But amidst all this study and burying my nose in books,  I have actually found myself a little part time job for the season. I'm spending my free time over at Indy ScreamPark. It's a new haunted house here in Anderson. It's been voted A New Comer of the Year from Americasbesthaunts.com. But I can't do it justice by describing it, but they've made is sound super enticing.

Indy ScreamPark features five unique attractions, as well as a Monster Midway where visitors can enjoy food and drink while playing carnival games and mingling with ghouls, goblins and everything in between.

Attraction 1: Nachtmahr: German for nightmare, this attraction is over
8,000 square feet of state-of-the-art animatronics, computer generated images, and
sounds and lights. It features more than 30 actors in 20 detailed scenes.

Attraction 2: Kurayami: Japanese for black-out, this
attraction utilizes the absence of light to accentuate fear. Kurayami is
inhabited by traditional Japanese warriors who are trained to prey upon the
patrons.

Attraction 3: Backwoods: The Backwoods is a
horror trail that is almost one half-mile long featuring scenes and characters
throughout the woods that will terrify.

Attraction 4: Dark Harvest: Dark Harvest is a classic walk through the corn combined with high-energy acting and state-of-the-art pyrotechnics to produce an adrenaline filled attraction that will test visitor’s nerves throughout.

Attraction 5: Bedlam 3D: This special 3D haunted house has custom sound, video, illusions and even some crazed clowns that bring this madhouse to life.

Prices are between $20 and $35 depending on which night you decide to come out..

hope to scare you there!

My Apologies

I've been super busy lately. This usually happens the week before school starts. Last minute errands, Birthday Parties, and not to forget my girls day tomorrow. I've been so bogged down, that I haven't had time to keep caught up on the blog.

I'm hoping to get things going again this weekend, so expect a couple posts! Then after that, it will be slow again as I get into the semester. With 14 cr hrs this semester, along with trying to find a part time job and studying for my teas exam, I'll be super busy. But I will definatly try to keep this going.

Online Shopping Spree!

So I was informed today that I'm an Amazon.com queen. Having made probably 30 or more orders off the website in the past few years. I've gotten everything from books, movies, lip rings, clothes, electronics and purses. Everytime though I always end up spending twice as much once I figure in shipping. That's where they stick ya! Buy this item for only 10$! But in tiny tiny print, almost invisible, it says 2093820389$ shipping.

Well yesterday, I got myself signed up for Amazon.com's Student Account! I just linked my regular account with my school email, and input my school and major and Voila! I get some discount on items, but the big kicker is the free one year membership of Amazon Prime! Oh how I'm loving that.

Amazon Prime is a paid "discount" I guess is the best way to put it. The only real benefit from it though is the Free 2-day shipping on all orders fulfilled by Amazon! So the order that I had open that hadn't been paid, I canceled, reorder with my student account and got it free shipping! woohooo!

So if you're in school, get your butt over to Amazon, sign-up for the free student account and start saving today! I know I'm sure loving it!

Cool Tools to Survive School

Hello College! Most high school graduates spend their summer before starting college relaxing with their friends, earning a little extra cash and just plain having fun before they head off on their own. Sure you prolly got the essentials during your open house. Money, mini-fridge, a big box of Ramen Noodles, etc. But when it comes down to the nitty gritty, and its time to get those last minute supplies, check out my list of the top 5 interesting things to add to your college buying checklist!

#5- The Takeout Menu Organizer.

#4- The 3 in 1 Breakfast Center

This little baby can do it all. Breakfast without dirtying all those dishes! All in the comforts of your cramped little dorm room. It's big enough to toast bread, make coffee and fry eggs, but not too big that it's gonna take up so much room that you don't have anywhere to put your bulk box of mac and cheese. Perfect for the multi-tasker in all of us. You can find this at many retailers including Target and JCPenny with prices averaging around $39.99. 

#3- The Conceal Bookshelf

Don't have any extra space on your tiny desk to hold those Twilight books you just HAD to bring to school with you? Well then you need the Conceal Bookshelf! Amaze your friends with the wild and wacky bookshelf. Once properly installed with at least one hardcover book on the bottom, this bookshelf looks as if the books are just floating in mid-air! The bookshelf easily holds up to 20 lbs of delicious eye literature candy without being able to tell how it works. You'll look like the coolest book-nerd in school. Product is available at Vat19.com at the price of $9.99 for the standard size which holds 15lbs and $12.95 for the large size. 

#2- The Personal Library Kit

This is probably one of the coolest things I have come across. If you're anything like me, you got books, and lots of them. And when you have tons of books, people are always asking you to borrow them. I don't know how many books I've had to re-buy due to friends who forget to bring them back. But fear no more my friends, Amazon.com has finally brought us the Personal Library Kit. This kit is designed to recreate the actual tools used in libraries.

• This kit comes with the tools used by professional librarians, 30 self-adhesive pockets, insert cards and "For Reference Only" stickers
• Also includes a date stamp, stamp pad and pencil

All of this bundled up in a cool wooden storage box! Now if it wasn't taboo to charge my friends late fees on borrowed books! This can be found at Amazon.com for the simple price of $19.99! 

And finally #1- The "Brief Safe"

They say that you gotta be careful around people you don't know. This can be especially true in college dorm life, because you're gonna be around A LOT of people you don't know. And when you're around strangers, you wanna have a way to keep your valuables safe in your room right?! Let me introduce the "Brief Safe." These skid marked unmentionables are the newest technology in valuable storage. Got a big wad of cash sent from Grandma you wanna horde? Well store it in the velcro sealed "fly" of these briefs and toss em in your undies drawer. Guaranteed to keep nosey room and floor mates from snooping for something worth anything when you're not around. Any criminal would avoid these skid-marked skivies like the plague, keeping your treasure safe and sound. They can also double as a laugh worthy prank tool when not being used as your personal vault. Pair these with some Doo-Doo Drops (looks and smells like diarhea. blech)

And you'll feel safe that the conniving guy from down the hall won't get that hot chick's number and ruin your chances will your away on Thanksgiving break. Both can be found at dealsonlywebstore.com with the briefs going for $19.99 and the Doo-Doo Drops only $7.99 when purchased together. 

So there ya have it folks, my little list to keep your years at college convenient, easy, quick, interesting and even funny.

All Hail Back to School Fails!

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky...... NOT TONIGHT!

Ah August how I love thee. First you have the sweltering heat. Making your sweatyness get all sweaty. Then you have the back to school rush, which I previously expressed  my love for. State fairs, last minute bbq's and swimming trips, ya gotta admit that August is pretty badass. But tonight is going to be a hell of a night, like always for August. The Perseid Meteor shower.

Every year from mid-July to mid-August the Perseids come streaking through our night skies. Every 130 years, the comet Swift-Tuttle makes a beautiful show in our earthly sky, but for the rest of the 129 years that it's not close enough to be seen, we make a pass through it's debris field, a.k.a. the Perseid Meteors.

The Perseids have been viewed for over 2000 years. Some Catholics refer to the meteor shower as "Tears of St. Lawrence" since the peak date for the showers is between the 9th of August and the 14th of August. St. Lawrence's date of martyrdom is August 11th.

So myself, like many others in the northern hemisphere, will be staking outside, chillaxed back in a dark area, with our eyes to the sky. Tried last year, but the darn moon! It was sooo bright, it drowned out all the prettiness of the meteors. This year should be different because the moon is still new.

But tonight is not just an ordinary peak of the Perseids, tonight is something special. Tonight, Saturn, Mars and Venus will be gathering in the West with the 5-day old crescent moon, to make sort of a Picasso-esqe celestial smiley face. Venus will be a shiny blue-white, while Saturn will be more of a gold, and Mars of course will be blood red. After they set around 9:30, you won't have to wait long to see the meteors! Scientists are predicted that you should be able to see up to 50 meteors per hour starting around 10:30 or 11 pm.

So if you got nothing to do tonight, like me, grab a blanket, some snack and drinks, and head out to your favorite dark secluded place away from city lights. I'll prolly head out to the local state park, or even a soybean field. You won't need binoculars or a telescope, cuz these pretty sights can be seen with the naked eye! I'll be taking my camera, so let's hope for some pictures! Sit back, relax and enjoy the shows ladies and gentlemen.
