Finals & Snow!

It's finals week, the most horrid week of the semester. Everyone is feeling the stress and I'm definitely part of that category. I've been trying to study but I haven't been very productive, since I am currently blogging instead of studying for the final I have tomorrow morning. But can you blame me?

It snowed a lot the past week and the grounds were COVERED in snow, how could I concentrate on my studies when there were snowmen practically begging to be built and snow angels to make!? I just could not help myself, so instead of studying like normal people, me and my suitemate besties went out into the open field of snow to have our fun.

Being someone who has lived in Brooklyn all her life, I have never witnessed this much snow. EVER. The only snow I have been exposed to is the disgusting, dirty, brown, slushy snow my wonderful city provides me with. So seeing the beautiful blankets of snow, and white covered trees were really a treat for my eyes.

As we bundled up ourselves for some icy cold fun, I couldn't control myself! I was so ready to jump into the winter wonderland. When we were all ready, we all raced downstairs fully determined to build the most handsome snowman anyone has seen. Only to realize that the snow we had was way to powdery to even make a good snowball. My first snowball I attempted to make fell apart in seconds when I threw it at my friend. It was such a bummer! But then we proceeded into making penises in the snow to show our maturity. (: We then jumped into the snow to make snow angels, then realizing that it was going to a problem trying to get up. When we finally got up, we took in a deep breath and marveled at our creations.

It was a wonderful night with my girls and I'm really sad that we didn't really get a chance to bond until the end of the semester. But, it's better late than never, right? After the fun in the snow, the holiday festivities did not end. Sunday night, we all got together and made ourselves gingerbread houses. It was the first gingerbread house I've ever made, and I was quite proud of my creation. While constructing our houses, gluing it together with the some tasty frosting, we watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" with Jim Carey. By the time we were done with our houses, we had our own little village in which we named Whosville, in honor of the movie of course.

Tis' a wonderful season, and a most joyous night. Unfortunately, the snow has started to melt and festivities have gone with it as we all now have to study extra hard for finals to make up for lost time.

...But it was totally worth it. (:

Procrastination.

Procrastinating is probably one of my favorite things to do. I had about three projects that I think I needed to do over the break, but I ended up not doing any of them. Now that I'm back on campus, I'm trying to finish all of it...and yet, I'm here on Blog spot updating. So much for being productive!

Anyway, I really hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I had an amazing time with family and friends during my break and they were definitely unforgettable. I won't go into much detail, but I am actually quite thankful that Thanksgiving is over. Now, BRING ON THE CHRISTMAS!

Speaking of Christmas, my wonderful roomie bought me a christmas present! She wanted to hide it from me. But I spotted the Christmas bag in her closet with a Starbucks Via Instant coffee attached to it, so I knew it was mine - being a coffee addict and all. She was determined to keep it away from me until we had to leave for winter break, but I somehow tempted her into giving it to me early, and I also wanted to know what it was. So I opened up my first Christmas present this year and LOVED it. I really adore my roommate, she's the sweetest.

Going to try to be productive now. Wish me luck!

Little Bastards.

Little bugs are all over the place. No big deal right? Until the freakin' things reach the size of your hand!

Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little here but just last week I was in Buffalo in my friend's dorm. We're just hanging out, having girl talk, looking at the latest fashion trends when suddenly..."Ohmygod, cockroach. On your chair!" Following that was a series of very loud screaming from four girls at 6 in the morning.

Generally, cockroaches will not cause me to scream that way. I see normal cockroaches quite often and although I can admit that I would still run away from them...I would not scream out like I did that night. However, this little fucker was HUGE. The biggest cockroach I have ever seen, crawling at an amazingly fast pace, onto the wall and up on the ceiling. Honestly, I was scared shitless.

I really looked like that. Except, I'm not a cat. And instead of a stool, I was on the bed... and then I ran into the bathroom and stayed sitting by the sink...and it wasn't a mouse. But those are just minor details. Anyway, as I was saying. I was scared shitless and literally was not able to move. I must have screamed a hundred times because I just could not believe the speed that thing was moving at, and the size of it! I have never seen a cockroach that big EVER! Like what the hell was that?! Crawling at the speed of light over our beds?! Ugh, I would show you guys a picture of that ugly thing, but I don't want anyone to throw up on their laptops. Because I almost did when I decided to search for a picture. It took us about two hours to get it killed. It ran away and hid from us like a thousand times, but we wouldn't have been able to sleep without knowing it was dead. Didn't sleep till 8am. What a fun night.

About a month ago in my OWN dorm, my roommate found this huge beetle. It was the oddest thing we have ever seen and once again, we screamed for our dear lives! This big beetle was on our coffee maker, and we lost it for about 20 minutes. When we found it, the sneaky thing hid INSIDE the coffee maker, like where the pot is placed. Once again, scared shitless. But we finally got rid of it. For the next few days I felt itchy everywhere, it was so uncomfortable.

What is up with these suburban bugs? Why the hell are they so unnecessarily HUGE!? There is absolutely NO reason they should be that big ever. We're just lucky they were only bugs, and not mice. I do not even know what I would do if there was a mouse in our room. I think I'd die.

DRUNK.

I've been super lazy and haven't been updating, but I will update now since I have some time.
Stress has really been getting to me, I am in need of some serious down time or a really good massage.

Anyway! Halloween just passed and I cannot believe it's already NOVEMBER! It's insane, one minute I think everything is passing by so slowly, but the next it's already the end of the year. Well, I think it's safe to say that October was pretty good, even though the weather was kinda crappy...other than that, hopefully November will be better. And it should be because I have a a whole week off from school for Thanksgiving AND next weekend I should be taking a visit back home with my friend Skylar to do some media project. Quite excited for that!

I had a super eventful Halloween. I was Pocahontas this year! First time ever actually dressing up for Halloween. Thinking about my past Halloweens, the only thing I might have had on was a mask and whatever clothes to match with the mask. But this year, I had a full on costume. Not to be a conceited bitch or anything, but damn, I was HOT! It was such a perfect costume for me, I don't know how I'm going to be able to top that next year.

I LOVE us.

I was having the most stressful week ever, so when Halloween weekend came I was ready to get wasted. And that's EXACTLY what happened. I honestly did not even drink that much! At the party, I had like two beers and then my friend gave me these 2 shots of 101 proof rum. The rum was what hit the spot. Oooh man, it was amazing. I was SO drunk and acting incredibly stupid laughing at everything and myself. I broke my friend's chair while sitting and fell on the floor because I tripped on the part I broke. So yeah. I was a hot mess. Not classy whatsoever. My roommate made me walk back with her to the dorm to make sure I was okay, going up the stairs I got really out of breath. Made me think that I was really fat. Cool. When I was in the room and finally got changed, I ran next door to my suite mate to ask for another shot because I'm stupid. Thank God she didn't have any.

After drunk texting and dialing my friend, I was ready to fall asleep. But my stomach would not let me do that...so I ran to the bathroom. TWICE. I haven't thrown up because of drinking in the longest time and it was disgusting. But I guess that meant I had a good time!

Me: No no, I wanted to get drunk and wasted out of my mind!
Roommate: Well, congratulations.

Yup, Congrats to me!
GOOD way to end October, eh?

Waiting and Waiting...

In Buffalo, visiting friends. About to go party...buuuut they're taking forever to get ready! At least we all look hot (; -- slut dancing anyone? Hahah

Music & Love

Instead of going to a crazy wild party and slut dancing at Sunny's, I went to my room mate's concert Saturday night. And it was well worth it! (I never liked slut dancing anyway...lol).

I was so happy that I decided to go to this concert. The orchestra played the most beautiful music and it left me flabbergasted by how amazingly talented our school is. It almost brought tears to my eyes while listening. The first piece they played was called Carnival composed by Dvojak (spelling?). Most amazing piece I have ever heard. The first note they played made my mouth drop! I couldn't at all explain how I felt the SECOND I heard them play. All I was able to say was "wow".

I was on the verge of crying because watching everyone up on the stage playing music made me really miss music. I used to be a part of the musicals and I used to be up on that stage singing and dancing my ass off! I used to complain to my friends about how I never had time for anything because rehearsals took up ALL of my time. Watching the performance made me really think of how much I loved what I did, and it made me realize how little I'm doing now in college. What am I doing with myself!? I expected myself to be much more involved on campus, but I'm not! I guess it had to do with me deciding to be lazy the first semester, but why did I decide that? Why am I allowing myself to rot away on campus? Jeez. This sucks.

But what also brought the tears to my eyes was the fact that the whole orchestra on stage really loved what they were doing, being music majors and all. Otherwise, they wouldn't be slaving off every last minute of their lives rehearsing. One person I want to point out is my room mate Jenna. She is so dedicated to her love for music. As me and her boyfriend sat in the audience Saturday night, watching her fiddle with her clarinet (she had to keep changing keys), we agreed that we didn't think we knew anyone, including ourselves, who loves music as much as she does. There is nothing at all we love that can compare to how much she loves music. She is literally practicing every minute she can, dedicating her life to music. She's in the University choir, SECOND chair in the Wind Ensemble, and she's in the orchestra. She might even be in some mysterious secret society for music players on campus that I don't know about because she is constantly not in the room! Her poor calendar is always full and I really wish she could take a chill pill, or smoke some "you know" to calm down. But I know she won't. She loves music and won't smoke anything that might affect her playing. I honestly admire her for loving music so much. I love it too, but I don't know how I would be able to stand it if I had her kind of schedule. Jenna Witterman, YOU are my hero<3.

Anyway, going to the concert was definitely the best decision I have made on campus. I would trade a crazy night out and slut dancing ANYTIME to hear wonderfully beautiful music.

Ice Cold

Winter is here, and it sucks major ass. Especially since it's supposed to be fall! Someone PLEASE tell me why it's in the 30's right now. I'm freezing my buttocks off!

I realized, thanks to all my facebook friend statuses, that everyone is complaining about the weather. So I might as well join them since it's seriously Ice cold. I'm just waiting for the snow to start floating down any minute now.

Seriously though? In the 30's already? I remember when October was such a wonderful month full of gorgeous crisp fall days. Chillier, but still sunny. I remember sweating balls underneath my Halloween mask, trying to grab whatever candy I could get. *sigh, what happened?

The trees up here are changing colors and it's so pretty in the sun, but today is just killing me because of the freezing air. I guess I had to know it was coming though, moving so far upstate. I'm just still not ready for it at all. If I'm like this during the fall, what am I going to do in the winter?! I'm just not going to be able to survive. I can see myself freezing to death. I'm going to be stuck in a glacier! Oh Horror!

Hello, Bambi

There's this beautiful spot that's just across the street from the campus. It's literally a forest that's just there and when you go deeper in, there's a creek. It's just such a gorgeous spot, and it's totally isolated from the street and from campus and campus police. With that said, obviously, this is where everyone goes to smoke their "Haha" (lol). We call this spot the Creek.

Well, yesterday me and my friends decided "creek it" and there's this dirt passageway with weeds everywhere. Anyway, when you look out there's like this huge pasture of grass. It's just like a huge open field in the middle of the forest. It's really a beautiful thing to see, I'm really actually enjoying this nature stuff nowadays. So, when we were passing by yesterday, what do I see prancing around? DEERS! Like two of them!

I mean, I've seen deers before. I've seen a bunch of them. But they were mostly when I took tours to national parks or something. Like this summer, I went to the Yellowstone National Park and I was basically face to face with a deer. But still, it's a national park AND we were on a tour so it really didn't feel as natural to see deer just lying around. Now, I see them when I'm just walking around, going over to the creek, and they're so close. I find it truly amazing and exciting.

I'm a city girl, so obviously I don't see this in the city. There are not enough trees and grass in the city to tend to families of deer. My friends kept making fun of me because I just kept pointing them out. They just don't understand how I felt seeing actual nature, it was just so organic. I was just so amazed, and was literally in a trance. I would have stood there watching them for hours if I could.

Nature is so pretty. :)
...besides the gross muddy puddles in the middle of the passageway. The ones I accidentally stepped in. Ugh.

Where's the Money?

For the past six weeks, I've been doing so well with money. Now, all of a sudden I realize I'm going broke! This makes me extremely annoyed. I really dislike not having money, I didn't think I'd experience this in college but I am. Obviously, that's the college student's life!

I hate not having a job! I've been working for the past 4 years, and sure I do love the fact that I'm so free and have nothing to worry about (except for school work) but it's kinda odd. I'm living off my mother's money once again, and it's really not fun. I got used to just buying whatever I needed or wanted knowing that next week I will get my bi-weekly paycheck. That apparently is not happening anymore. Today was the day I realized that I'm broke, and I can't take money out of my college account (I actually have a lot of money on that account).

I guess it's all my fault though. Recently, I've been doing a lot of shopping for no reason at all, except that I've been shopping deprived. Now, I'm not shopping deprived, instead I'm money deprived. Oh man, I really must find a job somewhere!

I wish I had something better to write about rather than ranting about my money problems, but unfortunately nothing else has been going on. But hey, something new. They put up a new "Toilet Talk" for the month of October! It's on green paper. I don't know, I guess I would have went for maybe an orange for Halloween, or pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month, but that's just me.

That's all for now. Hopefully, I'll find a solution to this problem... I might have to talk to the madre really soon. Oh no! :[

On The Bus

So, I'm on my way back to Fredonia, it's going to be a joyful 8-9 hour bus ride. Yay. I'm excited to go back, but I was also really reluctant to leave. Seriously, there is nothing like the city. While waiting in line to get onto that big double decker bus, the weather was just AMAZING. I love pretty days in New York City, nothing can compare!

Although, I must say one thing I did not really miss were the pigeons. Holy shit, for some reason they were flying SO LOW. I really don't remember them flying so low. Literally, every single pigeon was right above my head. The dirty things were just swooping down like nothing! Fucking birds. Aren't they supposed to migrating now or something? Go fly South already!! (nevermind, I almost forgot that pigeons are here all year round. Shit.)

I'm actually on the bus right now. It's pretty great that they have wifi on the bus, that's one good thing about Megabus, even if it's really crappy wifi. It works sometimes. When we accept the terms and conditions for the wifi on the bus, they make sure we understand the tiny font they provide us with that the internet may get disconnected at ANY moment. So therefore, this blog will be short, just in case it won't save.

Anyway, now that I'm on my way I'm pretty excited. I miss my college buddies and I'm dying to start those parties again...plus schoolwork...I guess. Probably gonna start some leftover homework right now since I have about five hours on the bus before we take a pit stop at Syracuse. Ahhh, torture!

Fredonia here I come!

Happy Birthday to Larelle

HEY THERE PRETTYY GIRL! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
It's my suite mate's 18th birthday today! You can finally start buying your own cigarettes, haha! (; I'm really sad that none of us are back on campus to celebrate, but I'm sureeee we'll do something to celebrate once we get back.

First off, I want to say that I ADORE you so much. I've only known you for five weeks, but seriously, I am so happy that we're friends. I'm so glad that you and Lindsay are the only decent and normal people in the suite. And I just love you so much :). YOU need to start your own little facebook so we can finally tag you in these cute cute pictures of us.



The pretty blonde one is Larelle :)

Girllll, I totally love you! You are the sweetest and the greatest, even though you totally feed my smoking addiction. And you jumped on me when we were both obnoxiously drunk. But I still love you<3 hahaha! I always have lotss of fun talking to you and I want you to know that if you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm right next door! Yay! I hope you have an amazing birthday full of a million birthday surprises (; And you better be reading this! I'll make sure of it by shooting you a text in the morning. LOVE YA BABE!

Welcome back, to me!

After five weeks of being totally out of touch with the city, I am FINALLY back! WHOOO HOOO!

As you can tell, I'm super excited to be back! Friday morning, I took a bus to Buffalo from Fredonia. Then from Buffalo, I got on the New York bound MegaBus. The bus was supposed to arrive at 2:15pm. It came at like 2:40, how fucking LAME. What was MORE lame, is that the bus was late getting to everywhere else. On the bus ticket, it said that I would arrive in New York by 10:00 that night. However, that was not the case. Since the bus was super late, my arrival was well overdue by an hour. Thanks Megabus, for the major delay. Totally UNappreciated.

Anyway, at least I made it back. I guess that's all that counts. When the bus finally drove out of total darkness and into bright city lights, I was about to jump out of my seat! I recognized everything and knew where I was. But, I have to admit. When I stepped off of that bus and started walking and rolling my mini suitcase, I felt a bit awkward. It was weird that I was finally back. I mean, I loved it, but it was kinda of weird. Obviously, it was because I haven't been back in the city for five weeks. After seeing trees, green grass, and really clean floors everywhere, it has to be a little weird coming back, ya know? And I totally forgot how to walk around in the city. Also, the fact that I was rolling around a suitcase... not so fun.

I rolled over to the D train station and had to carry my suitcase down the million flight of stairs. It felt like torture, but I was really excited to get onto the train. I never thought I'd ever say this, but I actually missed the smelly, dirty, train stations. Hard to believe, but 100% true. Underground, it was surprisingly hot. Either it was just really hot, or I was just having a really hard time handling my luggage. Anyway, the train came and I stood the whole way back to Brooklyn. Mostly because my ass was numb from sitting 10 hours on the bus. Once in Brooklyn, my three dude friends came to pick me up! How kind of them, hmm? I promised them I'd go have a late night dinner with them, so we went to our usual.

Vegas diner is only two blocks away from my house. It's a 24/7 diner, always open, and it's always there when you want a good breakfast or if you're bored. I've been going to that diner since 5th grade. The food isn't the best, but I have so many great memories there that I can't ever abandon that diner. It was a tradition to go there after every show with my same three dude friends and now we're probably gonna make it a tradition to go whenever we're back from school. At the diner, Jon took my phone and did his usual search. Ever since this one night, he has made it a ritual to check my phone for stupid, funny, and sometimes naughty text messages. He's such a jerk for that. :) In addition to that, his other ritual is to send one of my girl friends a dumb text. Last night's text message included "I am naked. I love you when I'm naked". Thanks, Jon. Anyway, we ordered food and ate... well they ate. I thought I would be starving, but when I got my food, I couldn't eat any of it. I just could not eat. I don't know if it was because all three of them (Jon, Morgan, and Kevin) told me that I had gained weight, or that I couldn't just eat. I told them that I just couldn't eat, and they said it was because of my cigarettes and gave me a whole lecture on me smoking. Those hypocrites. In the end, my dinner totally went to waste. Oh well. Vegas diner will always be there, I didn't even have pay! It's so lucky being girl.

Today, I took my beloved D train to Broadway Lafayette (SOHO), met up with my amazing best friends Abigail and Phil, and did some shopping! Oh god, you don't understand the excitement I felt while walking around and shopping. In Fredonia, it's impossible to shop, the nearest convenience store is four miles away. You don't want to walk anywhere. Meanwhile, in the city, I would walk everywhere, and it would never feel like I walked that far. It was just such a great day :). I missed this great big city so much.

After shopping, Abby and I went on the train. Silly me decided to sit down. I say silly because I picked the worst seat ever. It was the two seater that's next to the window. In front of us would be the three seaters. This creepy old chick with a slight mustache was sleeping and literally about to fall. Her head would be propped up against the wall and then all of a sudden, her head would be slipping off to the right. She would have fallen right on me! But right before she touched me, she would bring her head back up...then fall again. Seriously, there were times where she was really getting a little too close to me. It was scary :[. But, hey. That's New York, huh? Me and Abby really wanted to just wake her up, but decided that that would have been rude. But she just kept getting closer and closer. So I just slightly tapped her with my shopping bag. I had to do it!

When I got back home, we had a whole feast! We had lobster, this yummy beef dish, veggies, and chicken. Home cooked food is the greatest! And then, washed it down with a beer (yeah, my family lets me drink :]). YUMMM.

Such a nice day. I might have trouble leaving on Tuesday. I'm not going to want to!

Toilet Talk

Earlier this week, I made my way to the bathroom for my daily routine (tee hees). I walked into my usual stall and took a seat. When I looked up, I noticed this pink 8 x 11 sheet of paper that was not there the day before. On this flier were upcoming events at Fredonia and little get togethers in my hall. Pizza parties, new games that they bought for us like a Wii fitness, Apples to Apples, and Taboo. Since it's the month of September, they listed some interesting facts that occurred or occurs in September. Facts like September 15, 1999 was the first and only day Disney World was closed or how September is National rice month, Latino month, and that the most snakes are born during this time (Actually, August is first place, then comes September).

This piece of paper was labeled "Toilet Talk : The paper that keeps you occupied while you're occupied." I thought this was quite a clever idea. I laughed at how it was a paper that kept you occupied while you were in there. And the thing is, it really DOES keep you occupied! I realized that since that day, every time I stepped foot into my bathroom stall, my eyes go directly to that same piece of paper. I would read those same few September facts over again for the hundredth time. It's like a drug you can't stay away from, it's right in your face. Damn, that piece of paper really keeps you occupied!

It's possible that maybe the flier isn't doing it's full complete job. Fliers generally try to get you interested, they try to persuade and inform you about meetings. But, will I be attending those hall gatherings? Probably not. Do I want to have pizza with my RAs? Not really. However, the fact that I actually read it a hundred times over when I'm in there... I think "Toilet Talk" deserves an applause.

So, touche, Toilet Talk. Until our next encounter. c(:

Never will I sleep.

I'm never going to get back onto a decent sleeping schedule :[

Books or No Books? That is the question.

I was just talking to my friend on AOL Instant Messenger, trying to persuade him into starting a blog of his own. He said that the only thing he would possibly write about are books, novels and such. I immediately thought that it was a great idea! Surprised by the fact that he actually read, I decided to ask him what he was currently reading. His answer? "Reading? lol I don't read." I was instantly confused. How was he supposed to blog about novels if he didn't read? He said that he only read about 20 books in his lifetime. Did that include those little "I can read" books they gave you in kindergarten?

He started to bring up a reasonable argument though. He said that he didn't think reading is necessary anymore. In a way, I can see where he is coming from. For what reason do people read novels nowadays? If you think about it, reading was only REALLY necessary when you were younger so that you didn't become illiterate. Now that we're older and know how to read, why should we read? What's the purpose of reading books? Even though I agreed with him, I argued that I still think books are quite entertaining and that I do enjoy a good read once in a while. His reply? "LOL! I love people like you. You definitely read on the bus or something, don't you."

Yeah! So what if I read on the train or bus!?
Maybe I honestly, and sincerely like to read for pleasure. Reading can be quite entertaining most of the time. I tried retaliating by saying that he shouldn't laugh at the people who read, telling him that they could be smarter than him. He, on the other hand just kept laughing, saying that those people read just to look like they are smarter. As we argued, he ended up telling me to admit that "I am not smarter than a 5th grader." Oh please.

I can honestly say that I may not be the brightest kid on the block. But I am most certainly NOT stupid! I really do enjoy a good read. I can proudly say that I usually bring a book with me wherever I go. It just saddens me that there are people that actually think reading as a joke. How ignorant can they be! Maybe it isn't necessary for us to read anymore, unless it's for assignments or newspapers... but reading novels can be entertaining too! That's why they're called pleasure readers. Is there anything wrong with people that like to read?!

Anyway. Besides that.
Random fact of the day- there is an old (because it has a lot of dots on it) orange ladybug flying around in my dorm room. It really creeped me out.
Random fact #2- Brad Pitt is SO hot in Fight Club. :D

Chalking up the Basketball Court

It's been about five weeks since I moved to Fredonia. I am seriously loving life on campus, I'm having so much fun with this new found freedom I have. I do miss the city though... that's one thing I can't seem to stand. It is SO different from the city. So much quieter, and darker. It's beautiful, but so weird at the same time. Nonetheless, I love it. Been doing a lot of new things, but I think something that I enjoyed the most (other than the occasional parties and drinking) was when me and my friend Christina decided to chalk up the basketball court!

So, there's this tiny basketball court located behind my dorm building. Guys are seen playing on it all the time, and I pass by it ALL the time. Every single time me and Christina walk that way, we always say that we need to chalk it up. Just so you guys know, Christina is a five year old at heart. She brought her chalk, crayons, and Hello Kitty coloring books to college. I love her. Best friend at college-- definitely! Anyway. We told ourselves that we were going to chalk it up for about a week. Then finally, we pinky sweared on it. We picked a pretty nice day to draw on the court. Making sure no one was there, we skipped our way over there. Chalk in one hand, cigarette in the other, we were so excited to start drawing! Christina picked her spot and started drawing flowers. I attempted to draw this little tattoo design I always drew in my notes that also consisted of a bunch of flowers and squiggly lines. While we drew, we both knew people were staring at us. Some probably thought that we were complete idiots, while some actually joined us! My friend Mike came to meet us and picked a spot of his own for some graffiti work. He got really into it, shading and blending in the colors. He's an art major, if you didn't know already. More and more people joined, the court was looking great! I ended up drawing a bunch of flowers and swirls, an apple tree with pink apples, and a sun. The sun was probably my favorite because I learned from the art major and actually blended in the colors to make a really pretty sun. I was very proud of myself.

The whole time sitting on that court, I realized how much I miss being a kid. I haven't drawn with chalk like that in the longest time and it really brought me back to those childhood memories. I remembered I used to do a lot of hopscotch and I had this huge urge to draw a big one on the court, but couldn't because there wasn't enough space. It was so nice back then. Like a facebook bumper sticker once said, "I miss being a kid, the only drama was when someone stole your crayons."

Our beautiful masterpiece stayed on the court for about a week. It finally rained today in Fredonia, so it was sad to pass by and not see our chalk on the court anymore. I'm sure the guys are happy about it, but I really wanted to see it stay there for a longer time... Oh well, I'm sure Christina and I will pick another day to chalk up the basketball court!
