Top 10 Reasons Why College is Fun

1. Because on the way back from the gym, when you're in a really good mood because of endorphins, your suitemate will turn to you and say "this is so corny, but I am always so happy after excercise."And you will say "I always think of that line from Legally Blonde where she says "excersise makes creates endoprhins. Endorphins make people happy. Happy people just dont kill their husbands." And she will know exactly what you are talking about and completely agree. And then when you get back to your dorm, your roommates will agree as well and will write it on the whiteboard on our door.

2. Because as I type this, I can yell to my roommate, who is sitting on the couch "how do you spell excercise?"

3. Because there is a two story bookstore on Main Street.

4. Because you can get out of the shower and find your 2 roommates making webcam video's and posting them on the third roommate's facebook page to take over her wall... hahaha...

5. Because when the room on the third floor in the building across from yours shines their green laser light in your windows, you and your roommate take turns turning on and off the lights in all three rooms of the suite, and the people with the laser will try to follow the lights...which is awesome. This will go on for about 5 minutes.

6. Because you can stay up till about 2 in the morning laughing about a very unusual story with people on your floor, and no one thinks its wierd.

7. Because one of my roommates brought a care bear stuffed animal, and upon finding out that another one of the roommates is freaked out by it, has fun hiding it in random places for her to find. And we all help her. Right now it's hanging by a coat hanger in her closet.

8. Because you hear your roommate say "im really going to do my homework now" and then hear the music from farmville coming from her computer.

9. Because you CAN do laundry at one in the morning.

10. Because when you and your suitemates decide to enter a scavenger hunt for your building, one of you decides that they're going to take down as many signs advertising the hunt as they can, thus ensuring we are the only team. Thus ensuring we win. There are about 5 signs now hanging in our room...because she's been taking them off the walls in the hallway all day.

11. It just is.

Burnt Popcorn Story


So I decided that the Burnt Popcorn story needed more explanation. Here it is:

I got popcorn from the dollar general that is conviently located just outside of town.

I meant to grab "light butter" but instead grabbed 'double butter'.

Don't ask me how I managed to get those two mixed up, but I did somehow. I should have realized that something was going to go wrong after that point, but no.

I procedded to go back to my dorm room.

I didn't make popcorn until the next day.

Then, after a nice long run at the gym, and all happy from the effects of excersize, I decided to see if my extra butter popcorn waws really horrible or not.

I put it in our SUPER old microwave (like you have to turn a dial to pick the time and then it dings when it's done.)

And then opened it later. And all i could smell was burnt popcorn. It was smoking. And this was before I even opened the bag. Yeah....my roommate brought out her fan and blew all the smoke out the window, and then I proceeded to bring the bag into the trash room down the hall. Nevertheless, the whole room (and surrounding hall) now smells of burnt pocorn. Three days later. My roommates are really pleased with me.

Anyhow, cute boy now makes his enterance.

He appeared at the door of the suite and was like "does it smell like...." and at the same time I said "burnt popcorn?" he said "hot dogs?"

and I must of looked really confused and was like "No........." and we both started laughing and he was like "yeah...that's the smell. you know that now it's going to smell in here for days, right?"

and I said "yeah, I know."

Exit Cute boy.

Am I Wierd?

Anybody seen the movie: "The Jane Austen book Club" ? Allison- you don't even have to comment here. I already know what you're gonna say.
Anyhow, I kind of want to make a Jane Austen book club. Would that be too nerdy? I think it might be, but I still kind of want to do it. Anyone interested in joining? We would read a Jane Austen book every 2 months and have either real in person meetings or skype phone conferences and talk about them, and anything else. It could be fun. Just watch the movie. You'll see what I mean.
I'm kind of thinking that it would be nerdy though...anyhow, he're's the link to the movie trailer if you want to watch it and get a better idea of what i'm talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zatP2-_NH2A

Even if I don't do the book club, it still is a great movie. You should all watch it...

Muffin


I am currently eating a coffee-cake-muffin. I have never heard of that before, and would like to report that it is very very good. Now I need coffee.

Back at School

Well- here I am....this place is starting to feel more and more like home...I actually am not sad to be here this time....that's good.

My dad dropped me off, he hasn't seen the campus yet so I showed him around for awhile, and then he was like "Do you want to run to Wegmans?"
I said "I don't really need anything"
And he said " Oh, come on, lets go, I'm sure you need something."

Once we got there, he was so desperate to find something that I needed that I randomly started saying things. I ended up with: iced tea, water bottles, goldfish crackers and a muffin. The grand total was 9 dollars and 69 cents.

It was really cute, but kind of sad.I could tell he felt guilty for leaving me there... and he wanted to give me something tangable to make himself (and me) feel better....i kind of felt bad.

I hope that he's okay. I'm sure he'll be fine...I called my mom and warned her that he would probably be in a bad mood when he got home.

So, right now, I'm eating my goldfish crackers and drinking my iced tea....and doing homework.... ahh college.

At Home

So, labor day weekend. I'm at home, and pretty much doing nothing. I am going to make garlic and tomato (with basil and spinach) pizza tonight, and maybe apple pie, but until that very eventful time, I am doing nothing.

I still cannot decide if coming home this weekend was a good idea or not. I was really getting used to the idea of being at college, and I hope that coming home for the weekend hasn't spoiled that. I am looking forward to the shortened week coming up, though.

My family is being rather funny. They are very "what do you want to do now?" ish this weekend. I guess they want to make sure that I like coming home so I will do it more often....hahah....it's kind of amusing. But, they won't leave me alone!!!! It's still nice, in a way. I really cannot think of anything else to write right now, so in the interest of saving my one reader's mind, I will close this entry now. Perhaps I'll think of something better to write later....

Today Was a Good Day

Today was awesome! Probably the best day yet! I had work, first, which is turning out to be a lot more fun than I expected. I am now being trained to assist a buyer...oh yeah, i forgot. I work in the purchasing part of the office. I help people who basically buy everything the campus needs and then follows up and correctly places the orders. It's a lot of work, because things need to be documented, audited...etc. etc.

Anyhow, I'm working with this awesome lady named Wendy, and she is probably in her 20's still and really really cool. You all know what i mean, right? Like, you think, 'man, I want to be like that when I'm her age."

So my job today was to take a list, and if a thing needed to be taken out and checked over, I had to remove it and check to see if it had been paid, and if it had been...ummm...some other technical word. But, it was so much fun. I actually felt like I was doing something.

Did anyone else play secretary when they were a kid? I did. Maybe I'm just wierd. But, that's what my job is like now. It's really fun. My classes are fun too. In my astronomy class there is this senior who sits next to me and is always hoplessly lost. I feel kind of bad, but at the same time it is like "wow- I feel smart!" which is a good feeling to have.

I also "rented" a bike and rode into town and bought this neclace that I had wanted to get the other day, but decided not to. I thought it over, rationally, like my mother taught (hahahaha) and got it today. It is really cool. I would go on with the details, but I feel that in my euphoric mood, I would find it insainly interesting while other people are ceasing to read and logging into facebook. Yes- that's you.

Anyhow, college is really fun now. I actually feel important and smart and liked. It's awesome!

Water

I got water. But, the vending machiene hates me. It wouldn't accept my cash, so I switched to another vending machine and then that one was out of water. But it gave me back my two dollars in change, so then I was able to put it in the first vending machine and get my water. And one of my bestest friends in the whole entire world asked me to write her a story ( a happy story) with the following things in it: cutips, purple marker, corn, cows, a french beret and a hot british guy, and a tornado. Sounds like fun. Work at 9 tomorrow... adios...

Lament of a Water Bottle


My water bottle is too tall to reach under the faucet in the bathroom sink. Thus, I have no water. Thus, I need a new water bottle...

Actually Enjoing Myself


Well, to my one reader (maybe more soon...) I am happy to report that today was a really good day. I had a ton of fun at college. We actually did stuff in all my classes and had really entertaining discussions about lots of really interesting stuff... it was fun. Work was actually fun too...surprisingly. I'm starting to actually know what to do with myself and not completely hopelessly lost as to which mail goes to which person, what to date stamp, where to circle things etc. I even got to organize a shelf...it was really fun. I even have my own desk and staple remover, letter opener and comfy chair.
I had coffee in the morning (which helps with the whole waking up thing) and then even had lunch in the cafeteria with actual other people...even though I didn't sit with them because i was finishing up homework.
Then, I walked around the cute and adorable town of Brockport with my roommate, who I get along with better than I expected...it's great. I even got M&M's and new earrings.
I found out that a local dance store carries my type of pointe shoe and found an awesome jewelry store, a place to run on a path along the canal (which is pretty) and had lots of fun.
Then I had dinner. Which was really good, and ice cream sundae's. Which is really good therapy. And then, when I was emptying my soup into the garbage, I accidently dropped my non-disposable soup bowl into the trash. I was like "oh crap" and this very cute guy at a table nearby laughed at me...in an nice way though...it was very funny.
Oh, speaking of cute guys...my computer got a virus, bummer, I know. Where does the cute guy come in? He was the one who fixed it. He had amazing eyes. I know, I'm hopeless. He really was very very cute though...and he was nice. And he got rid of the virus. Cute and helpful. My favorite.
