observations in jamba juice

So I'm sitting here at jamba juice (again) and I realized that I was slouching which is something I've been trying not to do. Then I look up and see the girl sitting next to me is slouching too. And as I look around the room I realize that almost every person here is slouching!

Obviously people haven't always slouched. I'm pretty sure that it's a recent development in the last couple decades. So isn't it weird to think that society somehow dictates how we sit?? I mean everyone knows that what is acceptable in common society often influences what we do and how we act but it's weird to think that it controls something so mundane as how we sit down.

Anyway I had this random thought so I thought i'd take this opportunity to write in my blog! Maybe i'll start a new one called "musings of a bored college student" lol.

man i really suck

So apparently I really fail at blogging. Maybe it's because I know no one reads this or cares. But I have a break right now for half an hour anyway so I figured I should try again. Although I probably should do some work since I've been super lazy lately and I have a lot of stuff to do in the coming weeks.

I am currently sitting in the student union drinking one of those new probiotic yogurt smoothies from jamba juice (strawberries alive flavor) because I had a coupon to get it for only a dollar and I think it's my new favorite one!! It's so yummy and creamy and good!

In my last post I promised I would write about the presents I got for xmas so I guess I'll do that now. As they say, better late than never! An external hard drive and a wonderfully fuzy and warm north face jacket were my two big presents. I also got seasons 4-7 of gilmore girls!! I recently started watching the series again starting at season 1 and I'm already on season 4. That show never gets old! Other presents include $50 gift card from betty, 2 $15 itunes cards, a yoga mat and pants, headphones from my sister's bf ben and a few other miscellaneous items.

Speaking of ben, he's so awesome! He stayed with us from december 27 to january 5. It was fun to hang out with him and my sister. Even when the 3 of us were squished (quite literally since ben is 6'3") on our tiny couch watching tv.

On more recent news, I went home this weekend (for the second time since school started again 2 weeks ago haha) and it was wonderful as usual. I just love going home because home is like a little bubble where the rest of the world doesn't matter and I can just sit on the couch and watch tv and movies. I did see 2 movies in the theater though! The King's Speech with my parents and Black Swan with my parents and Brittany! They were both so good and I think either one deserves to be best picture, although maybe Black Swan a little more so. The leads in both certainly deserve best actor or actress, respectively. I'll try to post in my movie blog about them this week.

Speaking of movies, the Golden Globes were this weekend and they were both good and bad. Good in that natalie portman, colin firth, claire danes, the kids are alright and boardwalk empire won. Bad in that the social network won best picture and glee won 3 awards!

Ok that's it for now but this was kind of fun so I'm going to try doing it again soon!
