Hamburgers the size of my head

     Woooooo another win for the gamecocks last night, good job boys...um well it was a win so good job. However, why is it that we always get so sloppy when we are either a.playing well or b.think we are going to cream the other team? One would think you would play extra hard and tight so that you couuuld see a significant gap in the scoreboard. 38-19 gamecocks final score I believe, but still considering we were suppose to "stomp" them I'd say that 19 points proves we didn't so much do that. Always is harder than anticipated. Normally I can last a whole game, even an ESPN game which can last four hours without having to go to the bathroom or eating food because I'm having that much fun and lose track of time....but on games like last night nope I was starving and we only stayed until the score was 31-13 so about two and a half hours....leaving an entire quarter left to go. Trust me it was just that dragging, BUT trust me I am a dedicated fan..a hungry dedicated fan.
     In our search for food we went to the trusty Copper River Grill, home of the biggest burgers ever. No that's not part of their name, but it should be. I'm not kidding or exaggerating at all when I say the patties themselves are as big around as my head. Let's just say I have a pretty heavy to-go box filled with what's left over, yay for today's lunch :)!!
     They told us before the year even started that as nursing majors in upper division we would basically have no life. I have found this to be true, see I really would have no life if I didn't take time out to go to football games or hang out with friends. See, really and truly I could be using that time to study for all of my upcoming tests but hey one needs a break every once in a while.
Until next time :)

Poking Fake Tissue and Being Right

     I just love being right at this moment. See now if the maintenance people cough cough had listen to my roommate and I in the first place than my carpet probably would not have been completely ruined from the mass amount of water everywhere. But no, I apparently was overloading the washer....HAHA how you feel now maintenance men to find the two girls you basically called stupid knew what was wrong and you didn't. For the record, I am not going to put my washer on extra-large when I was a SMALL load...ha nice try though to try and get me to use more water.
    
     Somehow I don't think piercing fake fatty tissue or muscle tissue with needles is as realistic as giving a human medicine. I mean I realize since we are just nursing students starting out we probably shouldnt be practicing poking each other or well anybody at the moment but as far as I can tell fake tissue doesn't scream when you pierce it or squirt blood.....I mean it does squirt other liquids...the liquids you put in it. Then again, I'd much rather be poking something fake than have one of my clinical-mates jamming into my arm with a needle. Now that is scary, just think about how shaky you would be if it was your first time jamming something into someones arm and then combine that with understandable excitement.....yea exactly, freaky combo.

There's water in my closet...

    You know how normally when you call different offices and service companies they take, well at least it feels like, FLIPPING FOREVER to come to you and help you figure out what's up?? Well, obviously where I live we must have it made. Except, we kinda still don't if you think about how we shouldn't be having all of these issues in the first place. But, if you look at it as daaaang we have some fast service than hey we have it made in the shade I'd say. I find it pretty awesome that I call about there being random water surfacing in the carpet in my closet and within 10 minutes of my call I get an extremely loud knock on my door only to open it and find not one but TWO maintenance men. I guess they send two in case the other one has no clue what he's doing. Who knows, but you won't see me complaining especially when one is a sweet old man who knows what he's doing and his lacky cute college boy (obviously I mean this is a college apartment complex) coming with a shop vac.
   I have more to say, BIG SHOCKER I know, but I am going to dinnerrr with my peeps so peace out :)!!

I'm a slacker I realize this

Actually, no I'm not. That title is false advertisement. I have however been slacking on this, in case anyone felt deeply upset or just beside themselves because they didn't have one of my totally awesome blog posts to read. I know I know, I'm sorry. I don't even have a good excuse unfortunately.
Today was the first day of classes....aaah what a busy and exhausting day Thursdays will be with just one class; how will I ever cope!?!?! I'll be done with class before some people even wake up..9:15am! I do find this to be a tad absurd considering its pharmacology....too early for that ball of stress to be tossed around. So basically since it was such a physically draining day lol I am so glad tomorrow is Friday. I mean I did do a lot of driving, despite the fact that I was sitting down for all of that (of course), so I do have some excuse for being tired. I also woke up at 6:15 sooooo yea.
Random thought of the day: I would like to know why it is so difficult to find flipping wall art that is not cheesy or tacky or dumb looking. For real? I went to Target, Pier 1, and World Market. I like things in World Market buuuut I'm too cheap to buy that stuff unless I'm in love...and even then, and so obviously since I walked away with nothing (after going into the store twice) I was not a true fan and in love. The things they have that they actually think the majority of the population would like on their walls....WHY would I want to hang a poster with the alphabet on it? I'm not five I'm not in kindergarten. I'm not a teacher nor want to be one. So is it supposed to be like a reminder so I don't forget what letter comes after the next? So I just gave up and for now my walls will just be boring and bare until I am feeling in the mood to spend money, which on a college budget will probably be a while.
In closing I would just like to say that I'm pretty sure the guys above us either have feet made of lead or they are extreme gamers of dance dance revolution. I think that's it, that could definitely be it. However, they need to chill out. Okay doooooone :)

Movin' out!

Could it be? Could the summer actually be over? Why yes!!!
I'm moving back to Cola tomorrow, well unofficially but all of my stuff is moving back...which is alot. I really hate unpacking and packing. I do however enjoy arranging and organizing, when I FIRST get somewhere or start the school year. Now whether it stays that way for long is a different story. It's the thought that counts thought right, and the effort?
I am so pumped to be living off campus this year, awesomeeeee and to have my car back (major plus). As I was speaking to some friends tonight as well as a girl who's going to be a freshman I was asked if I'd have my own bathroom. I was taken back with joy as I realized it's the first time ever in my life that I will have my own bathroom. I don't know what to do with myself, that is exciting.
I hope my dogs won't go on hunger strikes...of course those "strikes" tend to only last for three days max once they realize their pouting will not make me return. Plus, they enjoy food. Such love.

In light of all of this I would just like to say it has been one interesting summer. Yes I did say interesting, as opposed to not interesting or boring. Who wants that anyway. I have gotten closer to some great friends that I love very much :) including the cutest sweetest little 3 and a half year old ever so shout outs I will miss you guys. You know who you people are ;). Ya'll are the greatest and I don't know what I would do without you!!!

Ice-Ice Baby

ICECREAM is basically the best thing ever invented. I think anyway. But even the best things can be ruined. Take cheese for example....who wants to eat blue cheese? eww. That is nasty with a capital 'N', in my opinion anyway. American Idol...totally going to be ruined and fall down the tubes into the trash without Simon Cowell; I'm just laying it out there.

Back to the oh so important topic at hand, icecream.
I understand these flavor people feel the need to make new ones but come OOOON people bacon icecream...really??? If I wanted cold bacon I would freeze cooked bacon (notice I did not say eat raw bacon, food poisoning no thank you).
Marble slab now has french toast flavored icecream. What!! I do believe french toast is one of those amazing foods that is only good for a few bites until then it swiftly becomes too much. So, french toast flavored icecream=stomach ache. I just do not understand this.
Birthday Cake icecream/ Cheesecake icecream: I'm not going to lie, I am a fan of both of these....for three bites. Both of these that should be things kept in their original form, the taste is so much better that way.
Riverdog Ripple....thankfully Ye Ole Fashioned got rid of this one. Blue and green playdough is what I'd like to call it. Banned because of parents complaining about the after effects in the bathroom. However I think they now have one actually called playdough.Why is the question I'd like to ask them.
Bananna Split. Okay before you guys go and hate on me for not liking this I would like to point out I am not speaking of a bananna split with the full bananna and cherries and fudge...no. They actually have an icecream now with the flavors of these all mixed into one. The only reason I ate this was because my friend got it for free and we were curious...ate one bite and spit it out.
No, I do not spend my days eating icecream. I wish. These are just all things I and my friends have noticed and talk about, yes I know we are cool. It's called get yourself a "free sample" at mslab.
Now back to important things like watching Project Runway...adios amigos :)

I seriously love this song. I find it so incredibly refreshing!!
I know I talked about tv shows last night, and typically I find shows on MTV entertaining because of how crazy they are...and not ever really in a good way. Their newest show, If You Really Knew Me, is crazy but in a different way. For once it's a show about allowing people to be who they are and showing that it's okay to be that person. I think my favorite part about the show is the "power shuffle" portion where they call out topics or things that if you relate to them you cross a line in the middle of the room. It allows the people involved and the viewers watching to understand that no one is ever alone. I feel like so often we lose sight of that, or we put up this facade that everything is okay when it's not. Heck, I do it allllll the time....but as much as it pains me to admit this (and it does pain me haha) sometimes letting go is so much easier than holding on. If you think about it, wouldn't that obviously be so? I mean in gym class when you had to do chin-ups how long were you actually able to hold on to that dumb bar before you let go and dropped? Chances are, you let go a lot faster than the amount of time you held on. Thankfully there was always that little blue matt underneath to catch your fall. I don't know where I was going with all of that, but I guess what I'm trying to say is you have friends for a reason. People were put into your life for a reason and vise versa.
p.s. I have the upper body strength of a fish, which basically means nooooone, so HA I always fell down pretty fast :)
