Yay Days!!!

My building was having an activity. My resident assistant came to my dorm room and told me about it and said that I should go. I decided that it might be a good idea to try and be a little social, so I went. We played Life in real life. It was fun, but almost everyone's life sucked, lol. I started out as a married entertainer who traveled all the time and didn't have enough time to spend with my three kids. And I made $50,000 a year. On my first roll I lost my job. On my second roll I had to go to the emergency room. On my third roll I divorced and remarried. He had a job so that helped with the next three emergency room visits again. I also became the victim of a hate crime and broke my leg. Then I adopted a child with down syndrome. Then on the last turn one of us, me or my husband, was in a car accident and developed brain damage. So kind of a crazy life. And afterward there were goodies for us to eat!! I talked with the RA a little, but just as it always is the conversation didn't last long. So I'm pretty hanging by myself occasionally saying hi to people. There was this guy sitting at the table near mine. His table left and so did mine so he and one other girl moved to my table and we were talking for a little bit. At some point the girl kind of stopped talking and it was just me and the guy talking. And I'm happy to say that the conversation somehow managed to stay for longer than normal!!!! As the activity is coming to a close we finally realize that we don't know each others name. After we find out each others name, he asks if it would be ok if he stole my number. This made my day because it has been so long since asked me for my number.

I hung out with him and his roommates last night. We played rock band and they actually managed to get me to sing. After we watched How To Train Your Dragon and Wall-E. We were well into Wall-E when he put his arm around me. Afterward me, him and one of his roommates stayed up talking for a couple hours. It was such a fun night!!!!! And this Saturday I have a date with him!! I'm excited and nervous at the same time.



Oh and a fun fact for the day. I am in a little town where you would think nothing happens, well this week we have had a bank robbery, two homicides, and a shooting. It is crazy!!

More on college

Well I am overdue for a post. I switched where I am living just before winter break. I decided that living in one of the residence halls that requires a meal plan was too expensive. Plus my previous two roommates were also moving to different residence halls. I have my own room now, but there are five other girls living in this little apartment style dorm. When I first switched rooms, the housing office tried to stuff me and another girl into the SINGLE person room, but she couldn't sharing such a small room and I don't blame her. This room is definitely not meant for two girls. I like living here but there are a few things that really bug me. There are only two people here that are actually clean and this includes myself.

As for my classes they aren't bad. I really hate my stupid math class because all of the people in there are not smart and they ask the stupidest questions. I have stopped listening during lectures and I don't practice any homework problems because he only grades one problem and writes it on the board each day for us to solve. Oh why did I have to be one point off on the ACT?!?! Plus I have the class at eight in the morning, and normally this wouldn't be a problem except that I really hate the class plus it is sooooo cold down here during winter. The air is so cold that it burns my throat whenever I breathe. Plus who wants to get out of a warm bed when the temperature is in the negatives??? Not me that's who. The other class that I don't care for is an internet and apps class. Basically we learn how to use microsoft programs. I'm just glad that I decided to take it online. My other three classes I just love!! I'm taking a geology course that talks about natural disasters. My psychology is pretty cool; right now we are working on a project and we have to research and talk about a psychological disorder, my group picked to do insomnia. My favorite class is my english 2010. I never thought that I would ever use english and favorite in the same sentence, but now I am, but that is because my class has a theme to everything we do. The theme for my class is video games!!! I am also doing a project for this class where I have to do a presentation on any game of my choosing!!! It is awesome!!!

Anyway as far as my social life goes I'm pretty sure that I don't have one. I spent about two weeks doing nothing but watching an anime called Bleach. I managed to watch 366 episodes. I do have one friend though, we don't hang out a lot, but next school year we are going to be roommates. So that will be fun. I found out from my geology professor that Cedar City is a potentially volcanic area. Oh and a couple weeks ago there was an earthquake down here; it was tiny, but it was awesome!

I guess that maybe I should post something about Valentines Day... What can I say? I can say that I received a package from my aunt that contained rice krispies, marshmallows, and chocolate. My now 11 year old sister sent me a rose made from tissue paper. My 17 year old sister sent me some dove chocolate. My 8 year old sister called me and asked if I was coming home and when I told her I wasn't she got all sad. So basically I spent Valentines watching anime and eating sugar foods. I did take myself out for great dinner though. It was kind of a lonely day, but I made it through.

 Well that's my boring college experience so far. I hope that you are having better luck with your life.
