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(:
