Rainy Saturday

I'm excited for a few reasons:

1. It's a rainy Saturday and I love those.

2. Liberty football is playing JMU tonight in the rain! It's going to be a really good game and hopefully we win! Apparently the stands are already packed, because JMU is trying to push us out of our own student section, and apparently brought a ton of students.

3. It's the weekend!

New layout!

As a reward to myself for finishing a paper that's due tomorrow, I fixed up my blog a bit! I wish I knew more about html, etc. so that I could have a really fancy blog, but I'm learning...what do you guys think?? :)

Busy, Busy Tuesdays!

Well, it's beginning to look like Tuesdays are going to be the busiest day of the week for my blog! Not only is it totally awkward (originally hosted by Tova, check out Nina's blog for the current headquarters. Oh yeah, and my accidentally-early post is here!

And there's a new, fun Tuesday happening! Post-it Note Tuesdays!!

Here are mine:



Now, I should probably go be productive and finish some homework! Happy Tuesday :)

Whoops!

It's a good sign when, as a college student who is supposed to be at the peak of my ability to process and learn new information, I do not even remember what day it is. Which is pretty bad, considering I went to all of my Monday classes today, and somehow still thought that it was Tuesday, when I wrote my Totally Awkward Tuesday post for the week. Good one.

Anyway, hope all of your Mondays started off well. :)

Totally Awkward Tuesday

Well, amidst all of my studies, I somehow found the time to continue to share an awkward story with you all. Although Tova Darling, the founder of Totally Awkward Tuesday, seems to be down for the TAT count, awkward things keep happening to me (seriously Tova, we miss you! Come back!). Go figure, huh? These days, NINA over at Nina's Theories has been posting the McLinky with all of your awkward stories on her blog, so go check her out :).

Now, as you can imagine, starting school at a university with 15,000 other undergrads has plenty of potential for awkward situations. Especially when you consider all of the young men and women looking for "that special someone" to start the semester off right with (at least that's what the girls are generally looking for--I have a feeling the guys are looking for something a littler less serious). Some of you may remember that I already have a special someone, the boyfriend, who has been for a while now. I'm sure to some girls, this would be no hindrance to finding someone else to pal around with for a while, but I'm a pretty faithful woman, and I'm perfectly satisfied with my man now. In other words, I'm not looking.

In light of that, I don't want to give anyone the wrong impression, however I'm not against making some new friends either, whether male or female. So, when one of my professors suggested that we all get in groups to complete an assignment, and the only person around me who remained group-less like myself, was the guy a few seats over, who I'd never spoken to in my life. So we did that awkward introduction, we have to do this group, thing and made small talk for a few minutes until the whole class reconvened.

As class ended, said guy got up, asking me if this was my last class for the day (it was a Friday) and what I was up to afterward.

Talk about red flags! He may have just been being friendly, but I wasn't about to take my chances. So I said, "yep it's my last class, have a great weekend!" and hustled as quickly as I could in the opposite direction, despite his shocked, "why is this girl running away from me?" look. Ooops, sorry pal. I hope we can be friends?

So yeah, in hindsight, that may not have been the best way to handle that situation...

Not the Point

I realized that I suck at the intended purpose of this blog! While I titled it to record my adventures these days, one of the main purposes was to detail the ins and outs at one of the most conservative universities in the nation. I must admit, I haven't really done that. So I promise to try harder, since I said I would. Homework has been taking precedent over blogging, so I guess that's how these things go. Ohhh well :)

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?
