DEAD Week

This week has been slowly killing me with all of things that I have had to do. There are so many grades that are right on the cusp and I am SO nervous that they won't go in my favor.  Grades have been a little scary this semester. I thought that I would have a lot more time on my hands because I was only taking 15 credits and I did at some points, but it's like whenever I had something due in one class, I had something due in every class. I have a business presentation, this class' presentation, a huge math assignment, a speech, a geography review, and the list seems to go on forever.  Finals week is going to be a scary one for me and I'm really hoping I can pull all of this off!
College has been such a learning experience and I have grown up so so much and I'm thankful.  A lot has changed and some is for the good and other is for the bad. I've had a lot of problems with my friends from home this year and I don't think they know how much that has affected me. I feel like they are all so two faced towards me and it's the worst feeling in the world.  But this has made me realize that I don't need to have the same friends if they're shitty ones.  I've met so many wonderful people here and I wouldn't trade them for the world. This is going to make going home so difficult because of this. There are only a few that are from Boise and the rest aren't so it's going to be a weird summer. All I want to do is work and get fit and not drink. I am so sick of alcohol and what it has done to every aspect of my life honestly.  It's hard to get away from it in Moscow though. Sometimes I wish I would've gone to a school far far away where I knew no one and could be lost in a big city, but it's a little late for that. I know things will get better and slow down over the summer and I can't wait to spend the days with my mom because I've missed her so much this year. The end of the school year is almost a relief, but it's also so sad because I don't want to leave :( and come back and be a sophomore. I want to be the baby forever.

I'm Really Bad at Blogging

If you couldn't tell, I'm really bad at writing blogs because I never remember to write anything. SO here is this week in a 500 word nutshell.

This week is Senior Week in my house, this means that we all celebrate the graduating seniors as they head out from the real world.  Every night, we have a certain event to celebrate the seniors.  Monday night was a fireside.  A fireside is a variety of things, but this fireside was our entire house gathered around and sharing memories of all of the seniors and it was so funny. It was nice to hear stories about the seniors as they were freshman and pretty immature like the rest of us.  Some of the stories I heard made me jealous that I wasn't around to experience the same things as them or know all of the same people.  This fireside went on for almost 3 hours so I ended up leaving before it was over because of different stuff I had to do.  Last night was really funny.  We had a thing called "willing".  Willing is a ceremony that the seniors pass down certain items or titles that they were willed the year, two, three, or four years before that.  An example is the "Queen of Sass" was passed down and I'm still a little bitter that I didn't get that.  But I was willed two things.  One was from my great-grand big and was a bag of Hershey Kisses because we are the "Flirty Fam".  The second was the "Freshman Forever".  I was so excited to get this because only a group of us get them every four years.  Eight of us were willed this and we are all so excited to do it.  We have to do one every year and then we will all pass them down when we're seniors.  Tonight is a roast, which is a classic roast when the senior's littles or best friends make fun of them in front of everyone.  It should be hilarious.  Thursday is a secret that I can't say and Friday is something special with just the seniors.  It's been a wild week and I'm definitely going to miss a lot of them. I've loved getting to know them this year and hearing all of their stories that prove that I will grow up so much by the end of the 4 years.  I feel as though I've already grown up so much over the last year and I am so grateful. A lot of my friends haven't really grown up and I can't even stand being around them because their whole lives revolve around drinking and boys. 

I am so thankful to be a part of something that makes me a better person :)

This Week

This week has been the busiest week of my life.  I mean, not really, but I'm getting sick so every day seems like 10 times longer than it should be.

Monday:
Mondays are always busy is a sorority because:
1: It's badge wear day so getting ready takes forever because there's a certain set of guidelines to follow.  It's a drag.
2: Class takes most of the day obviously because it's college.
3: Phone and door shifts take over nap time and you can't wear sweatpants even though all you do is sit at a desk and answer the door if the doorbell rings.
4: Dinner. Sometimes there's formal dinner which takes 10 times longer than it should because the cooks and hashers have to serve you the food and it's a 3 course meal so it takes awhile to eat.
5: Meeting: Our weekly meeting is always on Monday which can take up to 2 hours and it makes me wanna cry because I get so antsy.
So yeah...I hate Mondays

Tuesday:
Today I had to sleep on the couch because I was coughing so loud and I felt bad to cough all on the porch so I went downstairs and tried to sleep on the couch.  It didn't work.  I couldn't fall asleep because my throat hurt so badly and my nose was all stuffy.  I fell asleep around 3 and woke up at 6. Horrible.

Wednesday:
Today was SO BUSY. I don't even know why.

Vandal Friday

I didn't get a girl to host today so I am free! I lucked out because I have a test tomorrow morning so hosting one would be a lot of work tonight! I am so tired though because I only got 4 hours of sleep last night. I'm so tired I can't even think straight. I'm not sure if this is 100 words, but I don't think I have 100 words in my brain right now

TSM Frustration

It is so frustrating when you order a sweatshirt for an event months in advance and they get in so early but you can't have them! Our Vandal Friday sweatshirts came in like 2 months ago and they have been hidden somewhere in the house for all of this time. I hate it because they are so cute and I want them now! But we get them tomorrow finally. :) My most recent frustration is the Mom's Weekend sweatshirt. We got them in today and we don't get them for a couple weeks.  It's so cute! I can't wait for my mom to see them because I'm sure she'll love it even though she hates sweatshirts.  They are grey half zips with Lily Pulitzer print on the back.  I'm so excited to wear them!

Tuesday

Greek Week skits are tonight! I'm so excited to go see them because I remember loving to see them on Vandal Friday of last year.  They were all so funny and it was part of the reason of why I wanted to come here. I still wish they were doing them for Vandal Friday because it would be fun to watch the incoming freshmen's faces.  Vandal Friday is stressing me out! I have SO much to do this week and I have to have all of it done by tomorrow night because I'm going to have no time over the weekend.  Starting Thursday at 5, we each get one guest and have to take them around campus (specifically Greek Row) until whenever they want. So if the girl wants to stay out 'til 3 am, I have to stay out 'til 3 am. I have a class at 8:30 am on Friday so that might be a little difficult to pull off.  It's going to be crazy. I hope I get someone that's similar to me so it'll be an easy going conversation.

Spranggg Breakkk

Monday:

For spring break, my mom and I are going to California to see my cousin. I didn't realize that I haven't seen him in 9 years! I only have two first cousins and they are both around my sister's age so 28, 30, and 34. This means that I've always been the baby so we've always been at such different stages in our lives. Today we flew to LA and checked into the hotel. We're walking around our hotel on Hollywood Blvd. pretty sketchy!!

Tuesday: 

Today we went on a 7 hour tour around LA. We went to Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and the historical district of LA. It was really fun and interesting to see all of the city and all of its different cultures. LA is so huge! My favorite part of the tour was the historical district called El Pueblo. It was so cute and I loved seeing the oldest Catholic Church in LA! There was also a little firefighter museum. Did you know horses used to pull fire trucks?! So cool!

Wednesday: 

Today was my favorite day. We went on a tour of Warner Brothers studios and got to see sound stages, prop houses, costume museum, and so many other things. The entertainment industry is so interesting. We also say Central Perk from friends and got to hang out in there for awhile!! Then we went to The Grove which is a big outdoor shopping area and farmers market. It was so pretty and quiet and clean. It was so refreshing. Next, we went to a taping of Jimmy Kimmel. It was so cool! We got to see Jeremy Piven from Entourage and Zoe Kravitz, an actress and daughter of Lenny Kravitz. It was interesting to see a live taping of a show. Jimmy is hilarious. 

Thursday: 

We have to go home today :( I don't want to leave this beautiful place! For a minute I thought that it was summer but then reality hit. We have spent 8 hours at the airports total because our flights were delayed. Didn't get home until 11 and I'm exhausted! 

Friday: 

One of the last days of spring break and I'm starting to freak out. I don't want to go back to Moscow or school because I want summer so badly. I'm depressed. Give me warm weather and no school!
