Also, on an unrelated train of thought, I would like to emphatically say that my favorite option in all of Microsoft Works is the undo button.

Prepare to be amazed! http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/the-best-day-of-work--ever Fri, 27 Jun 2008 20:39:50 -0400 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/alexander-supertramp-you-are-my-hero I have been reading a lot in the past couple of weeks, and instead of complaining about work some more, I decided to fill the world in on what I am doing that I am actually enjoying. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/alexander-supertramp-you-are-my-hero Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:53:57 -0400 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/oh-only-to-breathe-underwater-like-a-ninja-for-a-little-while-longer It is nearly midnight, and I have decided to keep a dream journal.

It would also be helpful if I could spell "ridiculousness." I always want to put an "e" instead of an "i" for some reason... http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/my-silly-job-and-montana Fri, 06 Jun 2008 11:34:00 -0400 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/virus-scanners-5-am-and-teeny-little-injuries Some times my virus scanner make me angry. At other times 5 AM makes me angry.

It is a bit less than fun. Also, I noticed some things about the SVC website that I would like to comment upon. You also get to see some shiny paint cans from the theater that I took a some pictures of. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/factories-and-the-website Fri, 16 May 2008 20:56:56 -0400 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/sometimes-i-hear-a-toilet-flush-and-it-makes-me-want-to-beat-my-face-against-a-wall_ Well it is the first day of finals week, and I do not think that I have failed any of my tests yet. Alas, tomorrow may change that encouraging trend. Also, I believe I will start freaking out if I hear a toilet flush too many more times while I am trying to sleep. Read on if you are entirely confused. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/sometimes-i-hear-a-toilet-flush-and-it-makes-me-want-to-beat-my-face-against-a-wall_ Mon, 05 May 2008 14:27:01 -0400 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/finals-and-hutchapalooza Well next week is finals, but last week was Hutchapalooza, and it was superb! Also, check out Generation Magazine on the English Major part of this (the SVC) website! Though the lovely picture here was not taken at Hutchapalooza, it was taken on that night, so it sort of counts. I did not have my camera at the actual concert, sadly enough. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/finals-and-hutchapalooza Wed, 30 Apr 2008 16:42:29 -0400 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/gas-prices-springfest-and-my-birthday Well I believe the title sums it up rather nicely. This is mainly about my weekend, and the beautiful arm painting that I received. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/gas-prices-springfest-and-my-birthday Mon, 21 Apr 2008 18:21:58 -0400 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/no-i-am-not-convinced-that-my-nalgene-bottle-will-kill-me There has apparently been some sort of a study that has people convinced that reusable plastic bottles will stage some sort of revolt and kill their owners by way of BPA hormone disrupters. I do not believe in this rumor. Also, everyone on campus should recycle, starting . . . NOW! http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/no-i-am-not-convinced-that-my-nalgene-bottle-will-kill-me Thu, 17 Apr 2008 01:07:22 -0400 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/the-seduction-of-spring Spring is my favorite time of the year. Ever. I wish that I could be outside all of the time instead of those silly "necessities" such as class and papers. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/the-seduction-of-spring Mon, 07 Apr 2008 20:50:37 -0400 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/hiccoughs-or-perhaps-hiccups-and-horses Today I let you into the strange secret of my life. It involves hiccups, or hiccoughs if you prefer, and I also talk about horses some more, and dogs and cats for good measure. Hooray! As an added bonus you get to see a picture of my cat Nala. Yes she was named after the character in the Lion King, but the first "a" has the long "a" sound instead of the short "a" like in the movie. Either way, it is a way better name than "Tiger" for a tabby cat. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/hiccoughs-or-perhaps-hiccups-and-horses Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:29:39 -0400 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/why-yes-telepathy-would-make-me-a-more-productive-person The book that I have just finished reading made me think of telepathy quite a bit. I have decided that it sounds like a good idea. Interestingly enough, I am not thinking about talking with others, just a word processor. What can I say, it is me. (Insert smiley face here.) http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/why-yes-telepathy-would-make-me-a-more-productive-person Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:53:21 -0400 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/my-internal-struggle-at-the-library Well, it is Easter break, and I should be working on a paper. I did try really hard, but I just got caught up in my own head. Which is a pretty crazy place to be. It kind of reminds me of the "The Far Side" comic strip. Just in case you are wondering, the photo displays what happens when the sun hits a CD at the correct angle, it creates a rainbow, and I am in the same room with it alone . . . http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/my-internal-struggle-at-the-library Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:16:17 -0400 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/we-have-been-gone-for-two-hours-and-what-did-we-buy-a-necktie-and-a-spork_ I believe that many of the things that I do are silly, and the aforementioned statement sort of sums it--the weirdness--into a neat package. Also, I would like to say that weekends are my favorite because they contain no tests. (The photo was taken behind my house during spring break by the way.) http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/we-have-been-gone-for-two-hours-and-what-did-we-buy-a-necktie-and-a-spork_ Mon, 10 Mar 2008 21:36:09 -0400 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/the-ramblings-of-a-lunatic-at-1108-am I am feeling increasingly loopy today. It is actually a reasonable hour, and I am not making sense to myself, let alone to anyone else. I suppose that writing this journal is sort of a warm up for the paper that I actually have to write. Maybe that will not be quite as incoherent. (Even my photo is vague and incoherent.) http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/the-ramblings-of-a-lunatic-at-1108-am Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:07 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/college-is-a-place-where-you-broaden-your-mind-and-then-you-want-to-punch-people_ You may be wondering why I would make such a silly title for my journal. The fact is, one of my closest friends here at SVC said that after people made a travesty of something that she feels very strongly about. This is a very serious subject that is close to her heart and close to home, and I really want people to understand instead of just being unaware. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/college-is-a-place-where-you-broaden-your-mind-and-then-you-want-to-punch-people_ Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:07 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/ninjas-horses-and-kitty-cats Well the past couple of days have been interesting. I rode a horse, played with a kitty cat, and got attacked by ninjas. What did you do? Just in case you haven't noticed, I have a picture up of me and Jack! http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/ninjas-horses-and-kitty-cats Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:06 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/three-rocks-and-some-soy-sauce I am apparently a natural at ice skating. I would also like to introduce you to some of the stuff that I consider to be decoration for my room with which incidentally includes three rocks and some soy sauce. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/three-rocks-and-some-soy-sauce Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:06 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/sometimes-i-wonder-if-my-analogies-make-sense-only-in-my-head Through a series of fairly typical events I have decided that I have the attention span of a toaster. This particular toaster is broken. It is broken in such a way that the little mechanism that holds down the bread to cause it to become toast does not work. This means the bread will actually never become toast, because the bread does not stay in the toasty area long enough. So, I am a broken toaster. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/sometimes-i-wonder-if-my-analogies-make-sense-only-in-my-head Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:06 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/another-year-another-semester I am once again back at SVC ready for a new semester. This time I am excited about all of my classes, and I believe the semester will be a good one. I have also discovered that if I leave a clear bottle of water on my desk, whenever I bump the desk, the top of the water tells me that T-Rex is coming. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/another-year-another-semester Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:06 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/packing-the-pitiful-yet-precious-posessions_ It is almost time to go back to SVC and learn stuff. Maybe I am ready. Maybe I am not. Either way, I have too much stuff, and too much to read for my own enjoyment. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/packing-the-pitiful-yet-precious-posessions_ Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:06 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/digital-hd-has-nothing-on-reality_ So I suppose I have been slacking in my journaling, but that is what vacation is for. I took a walk today, and it is amazing what you can see when you walk a road you have known your entire life, and see it with new eyes. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/digital-hd-has-nothing-on-reality_ Mon, 10 Mar 2008 21:42:43 -0400 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/i-found-a-flock-of-snails_-what-did-you-do-on-your-christmas-vacation It is the fist magical week of that superb time of year known as Christmas vacation. Now if only I didn't have to work. That would truly be superb. Not only do you get to hear about my job, but you get to see what my life is like when left to my own devices (i.e. the snails). http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/i-found-a-flock-of-snails_-what-did-you-do-on-your-christmas-vacation Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:05 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/who-likes-finals-certianly-not-me I suppose the only way to summarize this blog is to tell you that I wrote it at 1:00 AM the day before my Literary Criticism final. Also, I believe that it is rather disjointed, and I apologize. You also get to see a picture of my good friend Crisp Kringle. (He was photographed on my Literary Criticism book, I might add.) He is a pretty cool guy. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/who-likes-finals-certianly-not-me Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:05 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/the-most-delightfully-magical-day-of-the-year Today, December 3, 2007 is the most magical day of the entire school year. Why? That is for me to know and for you to find out. I also write about the evils of microwave popcorn. It can give you lung cancer, you know. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/the-most-delightfully-magical-day-of-the-year Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:05 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/keys_-_-_ I have discovered that everything that I do ends up ridiculous. My entry is the story is my pathetic attempt at going home for Thanksgiving. There is also a picture of my dog, Lady, which makes the whole mess totally worth the time. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/keys_-_-_ Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:05 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/the-demon-shower-the-worlds-largest-revolving-door-and-hamlet Um, I suppose that the title is sufficiently confusing and intriguing to entice you to read this blog. If you ever wished to know anything more about a Demon Shower, the World's Largest Revolving Door, or Hamlet, you should probably read this. If you are seriously doubting my sanity, you should probably read it as well. I promise the random jumble of syllables that composes the title will make more sense if you read. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/the-demon-shower-the-worlds-largest-revolving-door-and-hamlet Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:04 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/scheduling-founders-day-and-fire This blog answers the questions always bugging the average reader. What is the deal with scheduling? What is Founder's Day? and Why do you have a pink T-shirt with "Barbie" on it? http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/scheduling-founders-day-and-fire Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:04 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/ode-to-the-equestrian-club The Equestrian Club may be the best SVC club ever, except the English club, which is pretty amazing too. This is me waxing poetic about horses and trail rides. Also, I don't use the word procrastination even once. Just in case you are wondering, I finally took pictures at the stables. No, it does not appear to be fall in the pictures, but it is pretty. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/ode-to-the-equestrian-club Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:04 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/the-ravings-of-a-lunatic-with-a-test-tomorrow Here I am again, writing about another test. I also point out the fact that Thanksgiving is amazing. I am ready for a break from school, and from bad TV writing as well. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/the-ravings-of-a-lunatic-with-a-test-tomorrow Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:04 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/katie-and-kant While studying I discovered just how important Immanuel Kant is to me. Yes, a fellow who lived and died over two hundred years ago has caught my fancy. I admit it; it is because he is just so darn cute. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/katie-and-kant Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:04 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/the-most-radical-tuesday-ever I would like to alert everyone of the sarcasm that has been employed in the development of the title of this piece. Basically, my Tuesday was quite the exact opposite of "radical" which (according to dictionary.com) happens to be "superficial". I am not sure if this is strictly true, but I suppose that you should take it as it is. I now ask all who are interested to read this lovely entry and have a bit of a giggle at my day. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/the-most-radical-tuesday-ever Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:04 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/why-do-i-come-up-with-strange-analogies-during-procrastination Well, Fall Break is over, and all of the assignments that I should have done are piling up and crushing me into oblivion. That is why I am procrastinating. I believe it is a disease. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/why-do-i-come-up-with-strange-analogies-during-procrastination Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:04 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/homecoming-weekend-popcorn-and-car-alarms Homecoming weekend is a great time to see your family, hang out with friends, eat cotton candy, and play in a bouncy obstacle course. http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/homecoming-weekend-popcorn-and-car-alarms Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:38:04 -0500 http://www.stvincent.edu/admission/student_blogs/katie-strevig/katie-strevigs-blog/fingerprinting-lowes-and-wal-mart-the-day-of-a-college-student Here is a wonderful example of a generally typical day in the life of me (Katie).
