sleep

just got home finally after another long day. 8:30 am until 9 pm gets long after a while. i seriously cannot believe that it's friday. crazyy. starting at 8:45 tomorrow i think. probably working until 5 ish then maybe some grocery shopping because apparently we drink a lot of milk.

sunday is starting at 6 am, better than the original 4:30 am.

i guess this whole post is a list of times.

we went to artisan works today to figure out the logistics for next friday, painted a sign, sat in more sessions... and of course had a very interesting dinner. kate and i wondered around all of campus trying to find dinner with no luck... other than a box of ritz crackers with cheese in it. fun times.

i'm rather exhausted, sorry for the bad updates. hopefully ill be more in the mood once school starts. right now i use all of my spare time to SLEEP.

college life 101

no internet until september 8th. we technically pick up some wireless but only ashleys computer does so that doesnt help me any. shes out at her lead oas apt now so i stole her computer... just kidding i asked permission first.

today started at 8:30 am, yesterday was 8:15 am and tomorrow is 8:00. sunday should be interesting, we're starting at 4:30 in the morning. woohoo. oa training is exhausting but im meeting new people. lots of sessions to go to, some better than others. we had a really cool one today called deaf deaf world and we had to do different scenarios all using sign and no voice like going to the bank, airport, hospital, etc. it was really neat and kind of intimidating but i remembered a ton of sign from last year so i was okay. tonight after all of our stuff ended around 5 they let us go early to go home. ash and i came back here and made our first dinner in the apt.. pb&j with soy milk it was pretty tasty. i would have made something more inventive but we only had about 30 minutes and we hardly have any food so that was a no go. after dinner we went and picked up this guy from ash's group and went to barnes and noble for some free coffee and mingling. nothing left to do tonight except watch gilmore girls and sleep!

tomorrow there are some more oa shenanigans. i think we're done by 6:15 so ill have to figure out something fun to do. there is potentially a bowling trip but im not sure if im going yet bc that doesnt even start until 8 and i need some sleep.

the apartment is fantastic and eight million times better than i expected. pictures will be uploaded whenever i can get back on my computer again. the best way to contact me until the 8th is either short emails, texts or leave a message on my phone. i have almost zero down time, no internet except for my phone which has a 2 inch screen and is not ideal for sending long emails so i apologize in advance. if you get a one line response, dont take it personally.

i keep thinking of things to update my blog with but i cant so i might forget things. this morning i had a heck of a time getting to the group in a reasonible way. were living in riverknoll which literally overlooks the construction and you have to either take a 10 minute detour through a giant parking lot or walk through other buildings. unfortunately this morning it was not only raining but i had to try 6 different doors in order to find one that was unlocked. no fun. on the apt side of things.. our shower exploded. well actually it came that way. but basically only cold water comes out the top and only burning hot water comes out the bottom. lovely.

soo yeah, lots to do. freshman move in on sunday. i cant believe its already wednesday night.

brief hiatus

no more blog posts until next week. packing to do, people to see, miles to drive, moving in to do.

check back soon :)

taco salad birthdays

my birthday is in 50 minutes =)

alison slept over last night, we woke up this morning and went to brunch with kristin at double t. we all go blueberry pancakes they were excellently delicious. came back and watched some full house with sarah. ate taco salad for dinner. sarah and i looked up super expensive houses in various states. alison and jimmy came over around 9 and we watched ella enchanted. now we're watching myth busters and the guys are swimming through syrup.

not sure what's up for tomorrow. maybe some delicious muffins, random hanging around and other fun things.

ikea apartments

the big news is that i finally got housing! ash and i are sharing a 1 bedroom apt in riverknoll these arent particularily nice apts but its ours so yayyy im excited to be able to cook.
this weekend nana drove up from georgia and barb and joe came from nj to visit. lots of food eating and general wandering about. saturday morning we took a long hot walk wwhile sarah was at tryouts. and today we went to ikea to buy kitchen stuff for me to take to school! i think between ash and i we got everything covered. move in is a week from tomorrow.this week is the challenge of packing everything. well see how that goes

new phones

hookay so this is awesome because im actually typing the entire post from my new phone! last night the fam went to noodles and company for dinner i got a super spicy peanut noodle thing that was super tasty. anyway afterwards we went to the verizon store to look for new phones. after a long wait much deliberation some bribing and pleading we walked away with 3 lg touchs a some other phone for sarah which i currently forget the name of. i apologize for any bad typing this thing is like 2 inches big and not meant for long b
og posting. anywayy its sooooo cool cant even describe.
nana is headed our way from georgia and should be here shortly so were looking forward to that abd the barb and joe are coming later tonight. no eric though =( i should go do stuff not on my phone now to be helpful

puppy fur

slept over at Alison's on Tuesday night. we got stuck in a torrential downpour on 32 but the rain slowed after a few minutes. watched secret life of the american teenager & how to lose a guy in 10 days. alison swept up all of gali's fur but then jim and gali decided to walk through it.

home again, home again

i'm home home home...

and unpacking only to be packing up and leaving again in 13 days. i have to say that i'm a total nerd and i'm really looking forward to classes starting. like i said earlier, i've already started reading some of the books... i can't help it! 

the housing situation currently remains up in the air. we'll see how that goes, i believe dad sent out an email to housing today.

as for last week ... it was college and careers part two. we had the first two days in july and then this time around it was an entirely new set of people... plus about 300 more than last time. exhausting beyond belief but so much fun. the weekend basically involved the same as last time, directing people, leading packs of families around campus, sitting on the student panel and answering questions, fooling around, etc. mom and sarah came up on friday to go to syracuse for a college visit saturday morning. they actually were able to sit in on the last half of the student panel i was on. we left rochester around four.. after mom got stung by a bee =( sarah drove the entire way home... with one stop at jone's cones of course. made it home by 10:30 on saturday night and then i slept in until noon on sunday... guess i was just a tad exhausted. not only did we work from 8 am until 11:30 pm on friday but all of the ambassadors got together on friday night until around 2 am. then woke up at 6 on saturday to work until 4 pm. longgg day. i worked a total of 60.5 hours last week i think. crazy. 

haven't really done much today. slept in until 9:30 or so. unpacked a bit. packed up fall clothes and all of my art supplies. sarah gets home from drivers ed in about an hour so maybe she'll entertain me.
