Blog Ideas

Sooo I want to start a serious blog. I know I'm kind of late in following that trend, but I want to write about something and gain a lot of followers and make it something with a specific audience and all that. The only problem is that every single thing I can think of to blog about has pretty much already been done. Soooo if anyone can give me any original ideas, that would be grrrreat! I'm thinking maybe a blog about skiing? Buuut then I'd actually have to travel around more to ski at places that I've never been before! Which really isn't in the current budget plan.

So, any ideas would be great! comment with ideas! I think anonymous people can comment too, but if not emails are good too

First Day of Class!

Alright, so just got back from my first day of class a little bit ago! Here's the rundown on teachers/classes.

10 a.m. - Creative Writing.

• teacher didn't show up so I don't know what he's like, but he did send someone else to hand out the syllabus. She said he's an accomplished writer and poet, so he MUST be a pretty cool dude.

12 p.m. - Biology 101

• I appreciated the professor's honesty about the class. She flat out said that the class is going to be difficult and it's going to take a lot of time and effort to do well in it.

2 p.m. - Intro to Logic

• the teacher seems great, he's pretty funny and smart. We'll see how it goes. Logic is a lot like math with equations and things so I'm not 100% sure that I'll be very good at it, but I'm going to try and not think about that too much so as to not subconsciously ruin my chances at a good grade.

I'd write more about the classes themselves, but I'm pretty tired. I'm sure there will be much more to come though as the classes progress.

Facebook

My friend and I have decided to boycott facebook. Mainly because people take it too seriously, but also because it's just an annoying waste of time. I mean, it is nice to have to look at pictures and to post pictures and blahblahblah but for the most part it just irks me. Example: tons of people thought me and Loren broke up awhile back just because we took our relationship status off of our profiles. Really? If you really want to know what I'm doing, just e-mail me or text me (but don't call me because I have limited phone minutes and I don't really enjoy talking). It annoys me that people assume things about people's lives just because of some cryptic status update they posted on facebook or because someone took down a relationship status or because someone is no longer facebook friends with someone else. Like...really? Gee whiz.

On a different note, today I walked around campus, paid tuition, went to the bank, and made a delicious sandwich. Later today, Kara and I are going to drop off resumes. Later tonight a big group of friends are going to see Iron Man 2 for free, so I suppose I'll crawl out of my warm and dark cave to go to that too. 

visits

Got back from visiting Grandma and Grandpa in Bow yesterday! Good times and food and conversation as usual :) Got lots of delicious cheese and salami and bread which Nick and I both think is fantastic despite not being Haggens bread.

All my friends are finally back in Ellensburg, so hopefully this blog will get more entertaining again. School starts Wednesday so that will add to the entertainment factor as well.

Home Alone!

Today I have the apartment all to myself! Alex went back to Seattle for some stuff, and Loren decided to go with him and catch a ferry home to get some stuff that would be useful here. They're coming back tomorrow, but I might be gone before they get here since I'm picking Nick up when he gets out of school and then driving out to Bow for a visit! Hopefully I won't get lost :)

aaaand hopefully the car won't explode on the freeway.

Buuuuut I doubt that will happen!

Yesterday I found a mug at Goodwill exactly like one of the ones I used to eat soup out of at the old farmhouse in sammamish. Needless to say I bought it for nostalgic reasons. That and I needed a good soup mug :) That and it was only 69 cents.

Also, I think trail mix should be made with no raisins. How about chocolate chips instead.

Move In Day!

We are all moved in to the apartment! Now just doing the finishing touches!

First night, Alex made dinner for us and now he and his girlfriend are making homemade chocolate chip cookies! After dinner we rode our bikes around campus. It's really cool to be back and see everything all empty before all the freshmen get here.

Pictures to come!

Packin' Up

So I'm leaving this week for Ellensburg! I was supposed to head over Wednesday, but now I will be heading back Friday. One of my roommates is heading over on Wednesday though, so he can get the internet and electricity and everything all set up! I can't wait to be over there. Here it's cold and rainy, but it's supposed to be pretty nice over there! Friday it's supposed to be 69 and sunny!

Speaking of Sunny, the poor dog knows that I'm leaving again and is all sad and neurotic. He won't leave my room when I'm in there and he keeps looking at me with the saddest eyes. It's so depressing!

Loren was looking at Ellensburg craigslist last night and found FREE KITTENS that need homes by early October. Guess who's most likely going to have a kitten :)

Drivers License

I gots it! Finally, 3 years in the making, I have my license and am insured! So tonight I am driving to Paul's house, and then taking Loren down to the ferry! Woohoo
