My Diva Roomie

Well, my roomie has begun reading my blog and decided that since her life is so crazy and interesting that I should begin writing solely about her. What a diva, huh?

I forgot to tell you guys, I got an A on my first real college exam! Hurray!

And, for your aesthetic enjoyment, here's a picture of Lynchburg from the top of the Snowflex. Soo awesome!

Stick 'em up!

Well, unfortunately, I think Totally Awkward Tuesdays are done forever. They just weren't the same without Tova, so unless she comes back, I don't think I'll be posting anymore. Unless it's just a story that's so incredibly awkward that I must blog about it.

Thankfully, I have

to keep me busy! Here goes...

Okay, that's about all! If you want to Stick 'em up too, head over to Supah-Mommy's blog! (She also has some really good post-its, so you should check them out!)

Who Could Say No to a Face Like This?

Well, Roomie got a puppy! She's only 14 weeks and needed a home because her previous owner got into drugs and couldn't take care of her anymore. How crazy is that? Anyway, despite the ridiculous circumstances, she's the most well behaved puppy I've ever seen. She doesn't bark, rarely even whines, isn't hyper, doesn't chew, and is already housebroken. And she's adorable! I definitely have a weakness for puppies!

I mean, honestly, who wouldn't love that face? Please forgive the poor photo quality (gotta love cell phone pics), but even with that working against her, she's adorable!

Unfortunately, Roomie's parents (whom she lives with when school isn't in session), are less than thrilled, so we don't know if she'll be able to keep her! But really, who could say no to that face?

These Things I Know For Sure

in no particular order...

1. I love my roomie.

2. I love my boyfriend

3. This is where I'm supposed to be.

4. I love Law & Order.

I'm thankful that I don't have too much homework.

5. I can survive on my own if needed!

6. I never want to live alone.

7. I like college!

Totally Awkward Tuesdays!

Once again, this Tuesday caught me by surprise. I've been so busy with getting ready for classes and going to classes and trying to get from one side of the campus to another, that I nearly forgot about my TAT! Check out Tova Darling's blog for the full Totally Awkward Tuesday story.

My story was my first awkward college experience. Unfortunately for me, there are probably many more to follow. Anyway, my new roomie and I share the basement of The Dollhouse, as I like to refer to the single family home that the 5 of us rent out. In the basement, there is a large main room that two of us share as a bed/living area, and a smaller, unfinished room that we've converted into a TV/sitting area.

My boyfriend and I were sitting on the couch, watching some TV (and that is all!), when my roomie got home. She had 2 of her friends with her and after all the introductions were made, she announced that it was gross how she always has to come home to my boyfriend and I making out (this has never actually occurred). My roomie is tricky, and very sarcastic (but I love her). Since we had just met her friends, this made for a very awkward few minutes, but thankfully her friends know exactly how she is and just shrugged it off and laughed. Silly roomie...

Tuesday/Thursdays are my looong days for classes, (5, to be exact) so I'm on campus taking a break in the computer lab/library. So far, I really like my classes. Even though there are a couple of the mandatory freshman classes that everyone thinks are really lame and extremely easily (thank God for that), those seem to be pretty interesting as well. We'll see!

Closing in!

Well, officially 7 days (that's one week, people!) until my first-ever move away from home, and the beginning of my (real) college career! I'm nervous! And excited. But mostly nervous at this specific moment because this is probably the biggest change that I'll experience thus far in my life. That's pretty serious! It sounds so silly in comparison to actually growing up (which I've sort of done backwards anyway, since I've been working full time the past 2 years in order to be able to go to college full-time now), but it's going to be way different from what I'm used to, although I'm definitely excited to see where things go! Now it's just a matter of getting everything I need packed up in my car, which in itself will be a small miracle.

I'm beginning to think my new roommates will start to make regular appearances in my blog posts as well, as I'm living in a house (which I like to refer to as The Dollhouse) with four other girls. Something blog-worthy (and probably very dramatic) is bound to happen, but I'm hoping that it won't! Wish me luck ;)

100% True!

I have a baffling but 100% true, happened in real life, story to tell you. I wish that I could say that something like it happened to me, but 1. I have an amazing boyfriend already and 2. it just didn't. It happened to my roommate, who seems to be a magnet for situations like this.

So let me start at the beginning. She and I are avid baseball fans, although for different teams. Well the team that she loves was playing the team that I love, so the two of us went to see the game. She noticed a guy standing around before the game, sporting her team's jersey and said something along the lines of, "look at the guy with the eyebrow ring! How cute is he?!"

Without thinking much of it, the game starts, and we all return to our seats. His is a section over from ours, although not really close at all. After the game, we continue on with our lives, all but completely forgetting about the guy with the eyebrow ring.

Fast forward to yesterday, when my roomie gets on a plane headed across the country to visit a friend of hers. I got a text from her asking if I remembered Guy With Eyebrow Ring from the baseball game, which I did, because by some crazy odds, he was on her flight! Seriously...the very same flight she was on, headed across the country! At first I didn't believe it, but she swore that it was true and even claimed she'd try to talk to him and ask if it was him to make sure.

Then, she calls me today to tell me that, not only were they on the same flight, they had the same 3 hour layover. She said that for a little while, they were waiting, and kept catching each other awkwardly stealing glances at each other. Finally, she boldly walked up to him (I can't say that I would've done the same, to be honest), and says, "You may think I'm an idiot for saying this, but did you go to the such and such baseball game this summer?" To which he replied, "Yes! That's where I know you from!"

What are the odds? Apparently, they continued to talk for all of the remaining layover, and he even asked the person sitting next to her on the flight to switch seats with him so that they continue to talk for the second half of the flight.

That being said, I've come to the conclusion that my roommate's life would make a much better blog than mine!
