I’m taking Online Journalism and one of my semester long assigments is to keep up a blog for the class. Since I’m definitely not going to submit this one, I have to start another that will be about my blancing act for being a creative writing and journalism double major. That means either 1) I’ll not have time to update this blog or 2) It will remind me to update this blog.
We shall see…..
Hey! Follow me on twitter….which I’ve come to start updating during class….constantly…
Well I’m officially back to school, already a week into classes, and it feels like I got here yesterday. I’m living in a house with 7 girls, all my best friends. We threw a party the first weekend here. It was awesome, not much to tell really, nothing crazy happened. Except we did fit about 70 people into our not-supposed-to-fit-70-people sized house. Thank god nothing got broken.
Then was the first week of classes. Again, nothing terribly exciting. Granted, I start at 9:30am every day which is much earlier than I’ve ever started before (yes, I know, I’m VERY spoiled) but I like that I finish earlier than everyone else in the house. With the buttload of reading I have to do every night, the quiet time is important. But it’s not always quiet which is why I snagged some ear plugs from the library.
I only have class Mon-Thrus. That’s right, 4 days weeks, 3 day weekends. Personally, I think that’s how life was meant to be lived. I was much more productive and much more motivated to go to class when I knew I only had 4 days of it. Coffee is still my best friend, and this year I get to make it in my house! I don’t have to buy it on my way to class…probably going to save me a bundle.
Of course, I’m also buying and cooking all of my own food (save for the on campus meals my full ride boyfriend with a free meal plan treats me to every now and then). Right now I’m actually in the kitchen making potato salad for the week. I like to plan ahead since Mondays are a long day for me (from 9:30am till 6:40pm). I also made soup earlier which was delicious.
Turns out, after one week, I’m the only person in the house still cooking. Yay me!
We had a cookout yesterday, got pretty big. It was pretty entertaining, but then left to go to some other parties. That the thing about starting drinking at 4:30 in the afternoon. You’re home in and bed with cheesy fries watching Bring It On with your boyfriend by 12:30am. Aren’t we exciting? haha
All in all, it feels like I only just got here because nothing really crazy has happened yet! We are all still getting into the routine, and right now I’m back into school mode since it is Sunday night. Sure, I finished all my homework and aside from cooking I’m watching the new Futurama movie, but yeah, totally thinking about school.
This probably sounded like a laundry list of things that have been going on. Don’t worry, more interesting things to come. Oh, and I’ll leave you with a funny text from this morning/afternoon.
–> “New addition to the list of things that are not fun to find in your mouth the next morning….pubic hairs”
Oh college…
Work is over. Tomorrow I’m taking a trip to the mall, followed by a lovely evening of Cosmos and penis shaped cookies with my buddy Allison. And then time to pack, pack, pack!
SO exciting.
How did my boss manage to convince me into working 8-10 hour shifts daily my very last week of work? I’m exhausted! But summer is almost over which means more fun school stories, particularly from a house full of 7 loud party girls and a brand new boyfriend.
Hopefully good times are ahead. I’d talk about summer, but most the fun stuff or interesting things that happened to me at work, I’m not really at liberty to talk about since my boss is a prominent member of the community. Boo.
Maybe someday… 21 in 6 months!!
Me – “Yes well we all have to make a few mistakes first now don’t we? God did make man first, look how that worked out.”
Boyfriend – “It was working out fine until he turned one of our ribs into some ho”
I was talking to my friend who is away working at a camp and one of the counselors with her is having her boyfriend come up and fill in for a counselor that left. My friend is not thrilled with this and thus, the following was exchanged.
During the summer, I teach Tae Kwon Do at my school back home. In this line of work, you encounter a lot of little fuckers, and a lot of semi-decent children. And I learned from this job that kids really do say the most ridiculous things…mostly because they really just don’t know what they are saying.
For example. This was said to me by one of my nine-year-old students the other day.
He meant hitting me in the back while sparring. Definitely did not come off that way.
I’m adding a new segment on here, since Text From Last Night doesn’t seem to think the message I send and receive are very amusing, I’m going to put them up here.
The first addition I received from my Boyfriend (Ben, the new boy) about a month ago. Picture Related.
A few things.
1) My “S” key is being a little bitch and doesn’t always want to work. I apologize for any missing “s” in my coming posts.
2) Yes, I mentioned “coming posts” in my last point. A promise is a promise (unless it’s missing an “s,” then it’s just a “promie”
3)I discovered Tumblr. Got me a little addicted for a while. Probably because it’s extremely user friendly. I encourage everyone to get one. www.tumblr.com
4) You can check out my tumblr, but I’m going to try and pull myself away from it and use this blog again. I’ve been bad over the summer, but I’ve also been spending a lot of time on facebook. No, you can’t have that.
5) Obviously no fun college stories (okay maybe 1 party story), but I have a few good quotes from work. Kid say the darndest things.
6) I’m not really sure why I’m using numbers for this post. It just seemed like the thing to do.
7) Pickles. I love pickle. Not random actually, I think I’ve developed an addiction.
8) GOD DAMN THIS “S” KEY
