Summer Break! (Kinda)

HEY

So I finished my first year of college last Thursday. It went SO FAST!!

Home has been nice. I like laying around and doing nothing. I've also been working quite a bit. It doesn't feel like summer though. I don't think it will till Stephanie is home and I've had all my grades oh and when it's actually warm out! Speaking of, I NEED a tan, like for real. Anyway this is a short post but I have to go work out. Post again soon!

Adventures in Oshkosh!

Yesterday Liz and I went on a walk. No, a hike. We walked SEVEN miles to Starbucks.

The Beginning:

We decided to FINALLY take some pictures. We've heard of the laying down game and decided to take a shot at it. That only lasted about the first 10 minutes of the walk but ended up hilarious. I also got pictures of my favorite Oshkosh landmarks. Such as Bob's gas station, Nigl's Bar, and Jordy's liquor store where we will buy our first bottles of booze when we are seniors. As the walk continued we ran in to many "characters". First was a biker who really just wanted to get past us even though we're pretty sure it was biking at the same speed we were walking. Then we saw LITTLE LANCELOT! (backstory: we have a bunny that follows us and we have named him Lancelot, our belief is that he is protecting us.) Anyway it was Lancelot's baby, or so we believe. He was ADORABLE! Then we got chased down my 3 little kids who wanted us to help them find their cat. I did NOT like it but Liz kept her cool. Then we continued to be followed by police who were either protecting us, or thinking we were up to no good. Either way we survived. We also saw many creepy people especially the guy with a cane which we guessed he was using as a prop to look week and lure girls in to feeling sorry for him. We didn't fall for it though. It was at this point that we realized we would have to walk back... in the dark. And I forgot my rape alarm.

Part 2:

We made it to Starbucks! It was sooo delicious and worth the "walk". We decided to leave while our drinks were still intact. As we are leaving the parking lot Liz drops her drink. and it SPLATTERS across the pavement. It was sooooo funny... and sad.... for her. She got even got splashed in the face by her treat. silly girl. So she cleaned up and we continued our journey. It was dark at this point, like suddenly NO SUN. But we trekked on... when suddenly I saw... A DEAD LANCELOT! It was so traumatizing but we aren't sure if it was THE lancelot or not but we haven't seen ours since. :( It is very sad indeed. On the way back we passed many creepy houses like idk how they are even standing. Soooo scary. But we made it back! Tired but having a great sense of accomplishment we returned and rested for the remainder of the night. Oh and we realized later that there was a closer starbucks.. we will have to venture to that one another time.

Now, however, we are both very ready to return to our hometowns, but I know once I am home I will miss my Liz dearly. I think I'll survive... for a while. I really cannot wait to see all the other loves of my life. The END.

Epic April: Recap

I feel terrible that I haven't written at all last month, but this post will be super long to make up for it. So my first memory of the month was EASTER!

Easter (April 4th) was alright. Good food, good to be home. My grandma hinting that I've gained weight, but nothing I don't already know.... This day was also my roommate's b-day, which was exciting! I decorated our room and we had a mini celebration when we both got back to school. I also made my first batch of cupcakes which were delicious if I do say so myself.

The next weekend was probably one of my favorites. April 9th, I went to Milwaukee to visit my beautiful Stephanie!!! It was sooooo much fun. We went to see Motion City Soundtrack, which was pretty much amazing. We had to deal with some other annoying concert goers as usual, but very worth it. Justin Pierre was looking as hot as ever! haha I also discovered a band fun. I just bought their cd and it's really good. Catchy and up beat, but not pop. Pretty good stuff! It was just fun to be with Steph and see her school. I love being around that girl. I also realized that we would do pretty ok living alone in a city. We could def figure things out. ;)

The next weekend was Taylor's birthday which was pretty low key. I wasn't really invited to much of the festivities but it sounded like she had a good birthday!

Then I had a chill weekend in with non other than Lizadiz and Craigathon. That was fun, but sometimes they get a tat too couply for me. :P Def getting used to that haha

Finally this weekend was my birthday!!!! Friday was as perfect as it could get. Celebrated all day beginning at midnight. Even managed to get my first class canceled. Then went to Chili's with my family and liz. DELICIOUS Then we went to the mall and Liz and I hit up my sister's friend's apartments. Pretty good night over all! I really wish I could've seen my WB friends though. I miss them like crazy right now. I wish I would've wrote more often in more detail, I feel like this is rushed and boring but I'll try to improve. :P May coming soon.

Something's Got to Break

HEYYYYY

I haven't written in FOREVER.

I'm currently in the middle of my spring break, and it's BORING. I mean My mind is going crazy just sitting here thinking. I've already watched way too much tv but that's about all I want to do. Homework is out of the question and I'm much too lazy to get out of bed. it's alright, I don't mind. I really miss Oshkosh when I'm home. The freedom is just AWESOME. And you ALWAYS have someone to hang out with or share a meal with. I wish break was just a week of no class but where you still had to stay there. Liz and I would be having amazing adventures right now. Seriously. I'm actually really dreading summer. 3 whole months in this town is going to be ridiculous. I either need to buy a car or take a trip or both.

Great just got called into work. Fab. Shoot me, please?

I MISS 920!

My Life by like oooh aaaahhh

This is going to be short and sweet.

I'm having a tough week already.

My speech is going to suck ass.

I feel really lonely.

I miss my twin.

I want Friday now.

I'm going into a coma now.

Good night world.

ps. CHUCK WAS AMAZBALLS! (of course)

Adventures

Today I am visiting the lovely St. Norberts campus. I must say this is a much better experience than my first one. It's so pretty here during the day. I'm sitting in the "reflection" lounge working on some homework while everyone else to taking a nap. They have the most amazing windows in here. They are huge and perfectly square giving me a wonderful view of the river. It's soooo peaceful and amazing. To my left is a giant tree whose branches are curved and bend every which way. It reminds me of what we look like... ok let me explain. We're all connected to this base... and we branch off of each other. Ok I'm not good at explaining my crazy thoughts but it makes sense to me. This whole picture makes me think of Brit Lit and how I thought all those men were crazy for writing on and on and on about nature. But I'm starting to see it now. I really can't wait to live in London and see what they saw and what inspirited them to write such eloquent words. Maybe I'll write a few of my own.

This is def the release I needed after this week and hopefully it will carry me until spring break. Happy reflecting everyone!
