Monday: This weekend was so much fun! I finally was able to go out again so I got to see all of my friends out and have a good time. I went to a formal too and it was so much fun to dress up and see everyone (for the most part) looking classy. The wine was a little rough, but I got past it. I'm still exhausted from the weekend though.

Tuesday: I hate sloths. They're so gross looking I can't handle it.  Did you know that there is a stuffed sloth in one of the science buildings here? I was so freaked out when I found out because they are honestly my worst fear. The fact that they can walk, run, and swim makes them the creepiest animal on the planet. There's a picture of a sloth spread out over someone's car and I can't look at it without wanting to throw up.

Wednesday: This week seems to be dragging on fooorrreeevvvveeerrr. It's Wednesday and it feels like it's a Monday because the days seem so long. I think I keep thinking about spring break and I keep getting so excited to go home. I miss my family a lot, but I also am getting more content being up here and I'm not so homesick all of the time. Progress is being made!

Thursday: People who are constantly looking for attention drive me INSANE. One of my friends is being so fucking annoying this week and I cannot handle it. She always wants all eyes on her and none of us can take it anymore. I feel like everything is all about her and whenever I accomplish something and tell her about it, it's like she pretends to not hear me. Overly self centered people drive me insane. I CAN'T HANDLE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday: Praise the Lord that it's Friday. School has been working me hard this week. I always forget that I have stuff to do and then I remember it all at the last second. I need to find a way that I'll remember everything I need to do. Maybe I'll like cover my desk with sticky notes or something. All I can say right now is that I'm so thankful for the weekend. TWO MORE WEEKS TIL SPRING BREAK

Slackin'

Oh man! I keep forgetting to blog... Here's an extra long blog about my life right now! So my mom broke her elbow this weekend and had surgery yesterday. I'm really bummed that I didn't get to stay and take care of her :( But she is doing well so that's good! I hate seeing my mom hurt or sad because I have a huge soft spot for my mom.*** I started working out again and I feel soo much better. I haven't gained the freshman 15 (knock on wood), but I have definitely gained some weight over the last few years.  My goal is to get back to my sophomore body so we'll see how that goes. Hopefully my hard work will pay off! It has always been hard for me to have self control, so I'm glad one of my friends is like a fitness guru and pushes me to go to the gym with her every day. I don't think I would stick with it if she didn't and I would just wallow in self pity with lack of self confidence and not do anything about it*** I'm rather pissed that it snowed today...I thought we were done with this crap! But Idaho weather is always so bipolar 9 months out of the year. I just want summer so I can wear dresses. I hate wearing pants. 

Friday & Monday

Oops! I forgot to post a blog on Friday and Monday! I was home over the weekend it was absolutely amazing! I've missed my family way too much :(.  My dad was out of town which was a bummer, but I got to spend about an hour with him so something is better than nothing! While I was home, my mom broke her elbow! We thought it was just a minor injury such as bursitis, but she went to the doctor today and it is definitely broken! I'm sad that I'm not there for her surgery tomorrow, but I'll just have to be sending prayers from Moscow! 

Library

I cannot focus at all in my house when I'm trying to study so a few of us go to the library. I really like the library because it's obviously really quiet and I can spread all of my stuff. There isn't a lot of room on my desk to really spread out so I really like that aspect of the library. It just sucks that it is so far away from my house and it's so cold all of the time. Yesterday was so warm and I loved it :) I felt as though I hadn't seen the sun in years. Wednesdays are always really busy, it surprisingly went by really fast this week. One day til I get to go home:) yay!

Don't

This might be rude, but I always see people do things that just don't make sense in any way and all I want to say is don't. For example, don't wear a tank top while there is snow on the ground. Like what makes that seem like a good idea? Also, guys who wear shorts year round drive me insane. Are you really that warm that you can wear cargos in the snow? Or screaming to your friend across the TLC...could you wait to say that or text it to them? Everyone doesn't need to know that he texted you this morning and roll your eyes because I am liking rolling my eyes right back at you.  I'm sorry. This rant is over.

HOME

I found out that I get to go home this weekend! I'm so excited to go back to Boise and see my family because I miss them so much :(  The only drawback to this that my dad will be out of town.  This sucks because I won't get to see him and it sucks that my mom and dad won't spend Valentine's Day together. But me coming home is the next best thing I'm sure hahah. I have to miss class on Friday...So you'll recieve an email from me about that!

Formal Dinner

Every other week, my house hosts formal dinner.  This means we all dress up in dresses and skirts and have a three course meal with table cloths, cloth napkins, and glass plates.  This is a step up from the usual grab something and go or eat really fast like we usually do.  These dinners are always really nice, but they are such a hassle to set up.  I'm watching from phone and door desk and everyone is running around trying to set all 80 place settings and worry about who's coming and who's not.  These dinners are mandatory so there are always a ton of girls.  All I can say is I'm glad I'm not the one in charge of it!

Bathroom Selfies

I do not understand why people take so many selfies in the bathroom. The bathroom is gross so why would you want to publish a mirror picture with the gross stalls behind you.  The reason why I'm writing about this is because I walked in on someone taking a selfie in the bathroom this morning and it was really awkward.  I don't know why I am so annoyed by bathroom selfies, but it is a trend that needs to be stopped.  I apologize if anyone reading this (even though no one reads these) takes bathroom selfies....but you should probably stop.

Concussions

I got a concussion this weekend! I was casually walking down the street when I hit a piece of ice and I landed straight on my back and head.  I have never hit my head that hard! I was dizzy, nauseous, and thought that my head was going to be cracked open.  Luckily I was with my friend so she picked me up and made sure I was okay.  I went to Student Health and sure enough I have a concussion.  This means extra sleep, no caffeine or alcohol for two weeks, and no working out for a week.  This should be interesting.  I feel like I have a bruise over the entire back of my head so it kind of hurts to lay down, but hopefully that will heal up soon.  For now, I am concussed and trying to take it easy

Wednesdays

I really like Wednesdays.  I'm not really sure why, but I always seem to have a good day on Wednesdays. I think it's because my favorite number is 3 and it's the third day of the school week? I have no idea.  I dropped my psych class so that is a big weight off of my shoulders and Wednesdays because now I only have 15 credits instead of 18! This makes my day a lot more open and less stressful so I'm excited to take less credits than last semester.  Last semester, I had 19 and I was DROWNING in school work and mostly Spanish homework.  I still haven't figured out what I want to do when I get older, but hopefully I'll figure it out soon.

Happy Wednesdayyy!

Zac Efron and Being Distracted

My roommates and I are watching High School Musical 3 for some reason.  It's a really dumb movie, but I still like it for some reason! It's so funny watching movie stars' older movies when they're just starting out.  Zac Efron is really hot and I don't care what anyone says. I keep getting distracted from school work and it's getting a little out of hand.  I have to bring myself to stay focused and most of the time it works, but I have to try really hard. Living in a sorority gets really hard sometimes because there is so much going on all the time, but it's so fun because you always have something to do.

Breakfast for Lunch

We always have breakfast for lunch and I'm getting a little tired of it.  It's different kinds of breakfast food, but the smell of maple syrup makes me a little nauseous. I'm not sure why, but it just bugs me. We got a new chef this semester because our other one got fired.  I'm glad because she always smelled like cigarettes and I cannot stand the smell of cigarettes.  I don't know why I'm complaining about smells right now, but that's the only thing that really comes to mind right now. Our meals are pretty good for someone who has to cook for 70 people twice a day.  We don't get food on weekends which is unfortunate so I basically live off of cereal and eggs for every meal because I'm too cheap to buy food.  The struggles of a college student..haha.
