How to scare a baseball player
Cristiana and Samara were helping me move some heavy stuff to my new room last night. Samara had the frig, I had the microwave, and Cristina had two suitcases. Well, we like to tease samara by saying that she has superhuman strength because she can carry really heavy stuff and it doesn’t bother her, while the rest of us can’t even push the object.
So we are walking across campus and we yell at a guy to keep the door open in my new building, dehornle, which he does, and then he kindly asks, do you guys need help, looking at Samara who is holding the frig. She says no, I’m fine, but you should help her, pointing to me with her nose. The guy looked so confused like, but you are caring the frig! That’s only a microwave! Lol. (By the way, my microwave is HUGE! We joke that I could cook a turkey in it.) So he lifts it with ease, carries it up stairs for me and then leaves, shaking his head, in great confusion of what just happened.
So to the random baseball player that helped out last night, thanks! Lol. Sorry we scared you.
Think twice
Freshmen 101 tip: Do not move in with your best friends. No matter how good you think it is going to be, listen to those who have tried it. Moving in with your best friend can cause you to lose that friend. If you think, oh well we practically live together, that is not LIVING together. There is no excape, that person is going to be in your room. If you get into a fight, you are trapped unless you have a class or a car.
Fights seem so much worse because it is hard to cool off when the person is 5 feet away from you. I think they are worse because people have the chance to keep fighting for longer periods of time. You can not walk away and go to your room, because chances are, you are already in your room!
It is just not a good idea. It has been proven to end badly.
But if you don’t want to believe me and still want to try it out with your best friend, who you are sure you will never fight with, set a time limit for a trial run. If it doesn’t work out, no hard feelings.
Just remember, living with some one else, some one you know, you see sides of them that you would never see otherwise, and sometimes, its not something you would like to see.
Excited
I am so excited to be back in Kuwait, I can not sleep at night. I sleep for a few hours and then I am up, ready to go, excited to see everything, everyone. I miss my friends back at Lynn, but I know I will see them soon. Coming back to Kuwait is a once in a life time kind of thing, so I am enjoying it to the max.
It is the little things that I missed so much. I don’t even know where to start if I wanted to list them off. I miss the gardens, the way houses are decorated, Arabic. lol. So many things.
One of these days, (If I can get Ascia to wake up. ) I will go back to my high school to see some friends and to see my old teachers if they are still there.
I miss sleep overs at Ascia’s, waking up to fresh bread every morning when I came over. Sadly, the bread maker died, but having toast is good enough for me. The fact that I can do it once again in Kuwait is awesome.
Freshmen 101 tip: When leaving town, find a friend to drive you to the airport. Give them gas money. Remember, you don’t have much cash, you are about to head to the airport and become even more broke paying for your bags. Save yourself some cash and try and get a friend to drop you off. Plus, they are way more fun than a taxi driver!
Blogging from Kuwait!
I am in Kuwait! How cool is that? I am sitting next to my friend Ascia. I’m so happy to be back in Kuwait. I’ve been here for about 3 hours and I’ve made about 4 plans. Haha. I’m not even here that long! So much to do and so much to see before I can leave and return to the states!
*yawns* ok I am tired from the 11 and a half hour flight. Good night!
Spring cleaning in the fall
Don’t ask me why, but Cristina and I got really into cleaning today. We cleaned the room like there was no tomorrow. We mopped, vaccuumed, scrubbed, and who knows what else! This place looks great and we feel great. Our room is sexy!
Samara of course came in and was like, what did you two do? lol. She thought we had gone crazy because we were so hyper after cleaning the room.
The Replacements
The International way to deal with not being able to call mom or dad, call and aunt or uncle! lol.
Last night, I really wanted to talk to my mom, but I wasn’t going to wake her up in the middle of the night, so I called my aunt.
One of my roommates was nodding her head in agreement when I told my aunt that I was calling her because I missed my mommy. She just laughed at me and then she talked to me, plus she gave me medical advice on my knee which is really sore. I was in so much pain last night, I could hardly move.
Today, I can hardly walk, stairs are evil! Darn public speaking. I had to walk up the stairs because I was running late from walking so slowly to class. I was also on the phone with my mother as I was walking to class, which the whole time she was lecturing me to go see the nurse about my knee. Ugh, mothers! lol. I finally get her on the phone and all I got was a lecture!
Stupid homework
Ugh, I am in Michelle’s room right now doing homework. So… hard…to… focus!!!!
Why is it so cold?
The last two days now, it has been freezing! From lovely hot sunny weather to down right cold! I don’t know what is going on around here, in a matter of a few days, it has gone from very hot to very cold. Welcome to Florida.
By the way, what was up with the squirrel in the caf yestorday? Yes, you read that right, there was a crazy squirrel running around the caf yestorday. Just chillin, having fun running between people’s feet. It was pretty cool.
So what are YOU going to be on Halloween? My roommates and I got our costumes last night. We have a ref, a gansta, and a flight attendent. (I would be the flight attendent.)
Triple Threat
I’m looking forward to this friday. My roommates and I have planned a girls day. No boys! lol.
Shopping, lunch, a movie. We have tons of stuff planned for friday. We are all busy, so we are taking this time to reconnect, to become closer, and well… shop!
I live with my best friend and a friend who is getting close to that best friend status. Sometimes we just need a girls day to remember why we love each other so much and why we chose to be roommates.
I would say where we are going to eat and shop, but I’m pretty sure that would cause my mother to close all my accounts that day. Haha.
By the way, my sister Michelle is the best sister in the world. I don’t know what I would do without her in my life.
Alright, off to bed with me. I’m sure my dancing at my desk as I type this is making Cristina laugh into her pillow.
Hey blog squad, get your rest, photo shoots tomorrow! That means 20 minutes in my closet trying to figure out what to wear tomorrow… oh boy.
The longest weekend
I just had the longest weekend. It is 2 am on Monday morning, and this is my first chance to slow down and blog. I blogged earlier while doing homework, but now I am free. (don’t worry, I don’t have class until 2 in the afternoon.)
So saturday morning, I went to the breast cancer walk that the school helps out at each year. All the clubs sign up to set up, some walk, and others clean up. I could only be there for a little while, but I loved seeing the support… at 5:30 in the morning.
It was really the morning. Some people had been there since 4:40 in the morning. I had only about 3 hours of sleep before I went to the breast cancer walk, then I left there early to go to work. I was at work from 8:15 to 12:30 pm.
Work! Coaching youth soccer is so much fun. I love my job, but the first day back, those kids wore me out! I forgot how hard it is to keep track of 5 and 6 year olds in large numbers. I am starting to see why people have kids, expensive entertainment. Those kids are the funniest things to listen to some times. I asked one how many gates he went through and he said 400, then the one next to him said 1/6th. I was near tears.
Since it was the first day, as my boss distracted the parents with papers, we coachs played games for the kids that taught them simple soccer skills without them even noticing. Red light, green light is still a big hit.
Then I rushed back to campus after grabbing food with Cristina to eat and take a shower. I left to run to the bus heading to Orlando for Halloween Horror Nights. I had so much fun!
First of all, I am a huge chicken. Michelle, my sister, asked me to go with her and I was like, you are crazy! There is no way I am going to pay some one to give me a heart attack! Well, finally I agreed and told her that it was her one sisterly wish of the year.
I go knock on Michelle’s door and we head to the bus. We couldn’t find a seat together, but ones next to each other, with the isle between us. We were both sitting next to guys we didn’t know and trying to stay awake so we didn’t fall asleep on them by acident. Well the guy I sat next to was very nice. I forgot his name the moment I fell asleep though. *frowns* He was really nice. At least I slept most of the way which I was happy about. I was so tired!
Once we got there, we of course ran to the first scary house we could find. I don’t think I have ever screamed so much! I was so scared, I grabbed Michelle’s backpack and screamed “Run!” which she more than happily replied, “I’m trying, let go of me!” lol.
Well, we shopped as well, which we then ended up very broke by the time we left. I got a few shirts and of course I had to stop at the Men In Black store. Oh and don’t forget the Simspons store. I now own a Bart Simpson shirt.
We tried a bunch of rides, The Mummy, the Simspsons, the M.I.B, and a few more. Then the scare houses! I think we went to 3 of them. I was more than happy to scream. I had a poster in my hand when we went through the third one and I screamed at one, “touch me and die!” Yes, I was going take him down with a poster. lol. Hey, I was scared. Then another one came out of know where and was screaming for me to hit him, I nicely grabbed Michelle’s arm and turned to the nice scary man and said, “No thank you.” and ran for my life! I don’t mess with people who asked to be hit, they have nothing to lose it seems.
At 2 am, we were back on the bus, heading back to Lynn. I listened to my Ipod all the way back. Once back, it looked like 50 zombies were walking back to their rooms. 5 somthing in the morning is not a good look for most people. Michelle and I hardly said anything to each other, it was just the heavy foot march back to our rooms. I crawled into bed, very sore, very tired, and heavily in pain all over, expecially in my feet.
Well, I woke up late afternoon sunday, ate, when to my Sigma meeting and then headed back to my room to do homework. I spent a good portion of my time sending emails, getting some Tri Sigma things done and chatting. Then came the homework! Ugh, at least it is all finished! And I did really well on my midterms so I am happy!
Well, good night everyone! I have reason to party for next weekend, awesome grades! Yes! lol. I wonder if I can get money out of my family for my midterm grades? Hmmm?
