I just got back from pennsylvania, a trip I took after being home for a whopping four days. But I got to see my brother and my grandpa and try my hand at fishing, which I was miserable at. Luckily I didn't catch anything becuase i would probably freak out with the grossness of it all. But in visiting my grandpa in an assisted living home, I found it surprisingly like dorm life, dorm style rooms, cafeteria downstairs, and organized activities. It's just a bunch of really old people who tend to randomly nod off. I'm sure they don't have to deal with sexiles, and puking,but conversation did to be a bit lacking. It was nice though.
Today after driving 10 hours to get home, I had calypso YUM, worked out, and later ended up heading over to ashley's uncle's house for swimming with her, eric, micah, neil, lesley and virginia, and others later. They have such a nice house and it was so much fun to go swimming in the summer, something I sadly enough haven't done yet. It was great seeing everyone thoguh. now i think i've seen everyone I care about seeing again, with the exception of a few.
So wednesday I start work, not at o'charley's but at my dad's chemistry lab. I'm making carbon nanofibers. I really hope it goes well, becuase there is the risk of me not just failing at making fibers, but blowing stuff up in the process, which is kind of scaring me right now. I'm just glad to be working days, becuase it gets boring around here
I've figured out that none of my friends in nashville know who kanye west is. He's coming in July and tickets are $5 but of course I'll be on another great family trip to houston, which will prove to be the most boring and most hellishly humid and hot 4 days of my summer. I'm just pissed I miss kanye.
anyways, i'm off to bed, I have my last free day before work starts. I'll updats about my freshman year later, i think it deserves a little commentary, and sorry for the blandness of this entry, but its all i got! |

for all you losers back at home enjoying your relaxing summer, for the next 3 days I will be enjoying the cramming schedule of 7 sections of math plus 5 chapters of econ, PER DAY. The next two days will be followed by solid nonstop cramming which will then be followed by a day comprised of four hours of finals and freakign out. After that, massive amounts of fun and sadness upon leaving everyone here. It's almost over!! |

OK, So the Roots are Amazing!! I had the wonderful priveledge of seeing them perform tonight with a local hiphop guys, Common. I cannot describe to you how amazing the concert was!! Each group was amazing, the crowd was into it, and I had only 3 people between me and the barricade. It was packed and a little crammed, but amazing all the same. It was great, everyone should see them live, best concert i've been to. Now, some of my favorite moments from the show:
the great music, duh!!
the couple that was dancing all crazy, then some huge football player looking guy was dancin all up on the girl, split her up from the guy and was macking on her while her guy was just watching. He needs to learn to defend his territory. It was fun to watch it playout though
all the people I ended up molesting because their asses tried to cram in front of me, i wasn't going to have any of that.
the girl whose big ass was wedged into my tummy for like 20 minutes, the more i sucked in, the more it enveloped me, hot yes i know
the p-funk cover --shout out to all my george clinton peeps!!
oh well, i'll see ya'll later!! |

why is it so cold????
bbbbrrrrrrrrr!!!!
Anyways, I had a lovely trip to the art institute for university night. They gave us a gret lecture which provided nap time, though it was interesting. Then we got tons of cheese YAY and cookies double YAY!! The exhibit was rembrandt, mostly etchings and such. It was great, i think he is now one of my favoite artists.
So Dori and I had two prospies the other night. They were very cool, actually social which is hard to come by in prospies. However, they were a little wild as they all got drunk and high and ended up passing out on our floor. Ah, we are such good hosts!!!
I'm tired and classes are not geting fun.
OH i went to my first cubs game, and omg it was so much fun!! My brother took me for my b-day which was forever ago. But it was the first home weekend game of the season, so the fans were all crazy. Kerry Wood got kicked out, and he was throwing shit on the field, then the entire bleachers threw their cups on the field, wriglye was going crazy, it was great. Other than that, it was really cold and I ate a hot dog. I can't wait til I go again. I love my brother!!
And by the way, props to UVA for making their little video, however it doesn't quite stand up to Northwestern. nice try |

guys i don't even know what to say rigth now. i don't know why i drink and go out on a monday night to the keg, but i did, and it was fun and i'm glad i did. But please, guys, just stay safe, i know stuff happens but just remember that no matter what you think there are tons of people that love you more than you would ever know and i don't ever want anyone to forget that. On the same note, no matter how much that poeple around you bug you remember thier feelings and their hearts and that they are more vulnerable and impressionable as you. Be nice. share love, and always try to turn your energy toward those others.... |

So i'm at bongo java--best coffee shop in Nashville, and I happened to bring my laptop so I've been "studying" (iming) for about an hour and a half now, so I thought i would finish off the procrastinating by updating a little. So i discovered this great little website www.fundrace.org (thanks TIME magazine) where you can be all nosy and look up your neighbors and friends by address or name and see their occupation, if they donated any money to a candidate, and if so, how much. Since I was so curious and bored I searched what seemed like my entire neighborhood, plus the uber rich/powerful areas of town, and found out many interesting things, sadly most of the money went to bush.... So when I was done being a snooping stalker I had a nice little political discussion with andrew which really brought me back to the contemporary issues days....those were great..all the yelling and screaming over politics every third period...tear. mad props to all of you guys!! tomorrow I'm going to swing by the high school and catch up on all the gossip and see my beloved teachers. bye ya'll! |

ok, i REALLY want to go to bonnaroo, but I don't know if I'll be taking orgo at Vandy. It's probably not worth the money, time, or effort since i don't know if i should take it anyways mojor wise, the point is, I really want to buy bonnaroo tix, but i can't go if i do take orgo, and i don't know if i'll take a loss by selling them...... |

my first day back was nice. I woke up to my mom calling me from work urging me to get up. We then got lunch then went shopping. For the last month I have been dying to go shopping with my mom, its guilt free pretty much, i can't feel bad for buyign stuff if she's with me. but instead of mec oming home with bags full, my mom went hog wild and bought herself tons and tons of stuff. but she deserves it and i know I'll have my time.... I also went major grocery shopping, its amazing how much I missed it. I almost forgot the selection that real grocery stored have it was great, dumb osco sucks. OH well, I cooked roasted potatoes for dinner which was a fun venture then went to target and picked up wonderful pics from school, and finished the day at Bongo with betsy and neil, which was lovely as usual. Home is wonderful, but i can already tell that I'm goign to be bored out of my mind soon.
right now i'm surrounded by 3 ladybugs om my floor....scary
I've figured out that I might want to work for the government in some capacity, behind the scenes researching and crafting policy decisions, i just like this place fo much and want to help make it even better
I cought up with ashley tonight, which was awesome, its too easy to neglect peopel you care about....
life confuses me a lot, I jsut don't know what to think and do about some things...
enough rambling, i'm off to bed |

So I just got back hoem and i LOVE it. I got to drive home, which was a thrill in itsself and apparently I forgot what the sun really looked like, becuase i was shocked that it was so bright, chicago winter definately deprived me of that. Evertythign is so pretty here, trres are blooming, and driving home, I figured out how much I really love this city, though i'll probably be bitching soon cause of how bored I am. But anyways, after I made the painful journey form NU to the el to midway and here I dropped my dad off at work and drove home, windows DOWN ause its 60 degrees and lovely here, then stopped at Target, cause why not, its just been way to long. Now i'm home where i'm starting my extra long break off by napping in front of the t.v. woohoo!! Anywyas, i'll write later and fill you in on everything thta happened in the past month cause as you can tell, i've been a HUGE slacker. |

Today has been amazing. Any other saturday I would still be sleeping not, cuase its only 1:20, but I've been up for 4 marvelous hours. I was awakened by a hot guys who brought me breakfast and gifts form my pledge mom, who has been wonderful. But i had to take a picture with him, whick was a little sketch at 9:30 in the morning, but that's ok. The breakfast was great, from einsteins, bagels for all you nashville folk. So I was already up and decided to go ahead and shower and fix my hair, at 9:30 in the morning!!! Who would have thought?
So then dori and i cabbed it to target. I was extatic. We had so much fun there buying our stuff. And now we have matching ploastic drawer thingies to put our alarm clocks on!! it;s wondful.
Later I got lunch at camilles, which gave us free smoothies which was great, and now i'm continuing my great day by being productive!!
oh yea, HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!!!!!!! |

So, I think i'm dropping my math class. Its hella hard, cause its the advanced accelerated smart kids math, and though I think i'm decent at math, i definately don't belong there. I feel like i'm a failure, but in all actuality i don't need the class, i'm not going to be a math major and I came into the school with enough math credit from ap's. So, hopefulyl i'll feel better when its actaully donein a few days. It would make my life here so much better!!
I'm freaking out right now becasue I have no clue about what I want to do for the rest of my life. I don't just love any of the classes i'm taking now, and I just have no idea of what I can see myself doing. Ad registration for next quarter is in a couple weeks and i have to make big decisions as to what to take. I need to decide soon cause I have to start pursuing a degree of some sorts so i can graduate in 4 years, but i just have no clue of where i'm going or what i'm doing here. So, i'm uber stressed and clueless. I'm in some program at career services that's supposedly goig to help my figure this out, but i have a feeling that there's no hope for that happening.
i'm going to go study and probably freak out about my history midterm on friday. |

So this weekend has been very chill. My pledge retreat was tons of fun. we just talked, and watched movies. A like 4 i left there to come back to willard, where and minor crisis had just happened. I guy from down the hall got stomach sick-- no not drunk sick, and pretty much puked down a whole hallway, like in from of 4 doors, pretty much the whole wing on willard. So there was big commotion then people went to bed figuring they could just leave it. However, Soph and I couldn't stand to leave it there as we watched the stomach sick guy try to clean it off hte ground and walls. So we told him to stop of course, and planned our attack. We wentinto the elevator and borrowed a brrom and dustpan, and when we got back, we heard the guy puking in the bathroom again, lovely. So we delt with that, then started sweetping then scrubbing with the broom and dish soap. I eventually got to bed after 5:30. Ah....the joys of dorm life...
Saturday I just bummed around the room which was so mice and relaxing. At night, I saw Bela Fleck and Edgar meyer which was super awesome. They were amazing of course..However Me and sohil were a little too hyper for such calm music, so we had to close our eyes a bit. It was very cool though.
Today my adventure to target failed miserably, so i'm still depressed over that. I knwo i'll make it someday
OMG I JUST GOT THE WORST HAIRCUT OF MY LIFE. It is SO uneven, i want to cry. I went back and have to go back tomorrow to see the manager! It is histerical. I've taken so many pictures, andi will be sure to post them so that all of you can laugh at me. No more cheap haircuts for laura!!
Bye ya'll |
