Day 14

Saturday... I love thee.

 

Today was a great day. It was completely lazy and unplanned, yet productive and restful. :) I pretty much spent the entire day with Kodi. We started with breakfast at IHOP, went to a giant consignment shop, did some more shopping, ate some more, lounged... etc. I would like to throw out there that I purchased 2 brand new shirts for a grand total of $3.19. Win. I'm a bargain super hero.

 

 

Another thing that I did today. I altered my appearance slightly. This is the before:

 

 

And the after? Well... I'm gonna make you wait a little. :)

 

Until next time...

 

 



Lucky number 13

Friday the 13th... Dun dun DUN!!!

 

Whew talk about scary! Let me tell you a short story...

 

My bed is really comfortable. Like, super comfortable. My sheets are so incredibly soft, like buttah! So, most days, waking up and getting out of bed is usually a struggle. This morning however I got this text from my RA:

 

What?!

This got me out of bed real fast!

 

Thankfully, my room is on the parking lot side, so it just took a quick glance outside to see that my car was still there! Whew! It turned out to be a false alarm. I think a security guard saw someone pick up a car in the early morning, but it just turned out to be a parent of one of the students. Oops.

 

But at least someone's got their eyes out!

 

Also, funny that just yesterday I was scaring my mom with a text and here we are today... :)

 

Until next time...

 



Day 12

Sometimes, I like to pull a prank or two. 

 

For example, once I left a fake poop on the toilet seat and waited for my mom to go in after me. Call me childish if you want, but her reaction was priceless. Another example of a well deserved prank: 'Heeeerrrreeee's Johnny!' And then there was the time that Kodi and I ordered a sample of men's adult diapers and had it sent to my brother's place. :) I'm still not sure that he knows it was us.

So...

Today I saw where some guy had posted on twitter to text a parent '2 grams for $40', followed shortly by, 'ignore that.' And then post the parent's reaction in the comment section of his post.You can read about it here (Fair warning, there is some language the farther down you scroll). So... I thought it would be funny to try it on my mom. I told my dad about it too and he thought I should do it. And I did:

:)

I would have let it go on longer but I was at youth group and needed to get moving. Don't worry, she still loves me!

Until next time...

Day 11

Another day, another blog.

Today... this semester's first paper. A research paper on the inspiration of scripture. Feeling a little stressed by the lack of time I have on this as well as the knowledge that the professor is a pretty tough cookie. I've been working for about 2 hours and this is what I have:

Uhh... I've got a ways to go...

Best get back to it.

Until next time...

Day 10 - for real.

 Yesterday was not September 10th, therefore not day 10. Oops. Clearly no one reads this.

Alas, I continue on my way. 

Today, I'm blogging from the school library because I have no internet currently in my dorm room. Tragic. But I'll survive. I might even try to get caught up on some reading. 

Today's pic ... my current obsession:

Mild Buffalo Wing Cheddar Cheese

 Oh. My. Word. So good! I'm trying to ration it because it was A. Expensive and B. Purchased about 2 hours south of here. That's a long way to go to get some more!

I found this little gem while on a recent road trip with some friends, you can read about it on Kodi's blog here.

Well. Dinner is calling, and unfortunately so is my homework. I'm working on my first theology paper (and by working on, I mean... I realize it's due in less than a week and have considered writing it.)

So... off I go.

Until next time...

Day 10

September is flying by! I can't believe it's the 10th already!

I really didn't want to get out of bed this morning, but I did. And when I opened my curtain, there was the most beautiful sunrise. 

 Well, my phone didn't quite capture the beautiful pink shade that it was. A beautiful sunrise is worth getting up for. 

Also, this:

Ugh.

Friday morning I got in my car after classes to head to work and found a parking ticket on my front windshield. That always makes your day! I know, the security guards are just doing their job, but the whole situation was just a little frustrating. 

A little background: In May, I think I had probably the crummiest hour of my life. I woke up (that wasn't the bad part. I'm thankful to Jesus that I did wake up) and immediately realized the power was out. There's no windows in the bathroom of the home that I was staying in so I couldn't shower there. So, since I was close to home I jumped into my car to head home for a quick shower before jetting off to work. I started the car and looked out the back window and thought... 'how is it possible that my window is frosted over, it's super warm out?!'. Well... it wasn't frosted, it was shattered. A piece of a limb had fallen out of the tree and must have hit my window just right. The hour continued to worsen, but we don't have time for that now. Just know that it involves, among other things, being pulled over without a driver's license or proof of insurance.

Fast forward to friday. I totally forgot that I had to have my window replaced this summer which meant that I no longer had a Calvary parking sticker. I haven't really been on campus much yet this semester and hadn't given much thought to a parking sticker, nor had I heard anything reminding us that we needed one. It's stupid, and really, there's no one to blame. 

All that to say, as pictured above, I now have a parking sticker. Only, I haven't put it in my car yet. That will be done very soon. Also, you may or may not be able to see the picture of the car on the directions, but it's got a little Jesus fish and the license plate says 'Jesus'. I'm a little cynical and also annoyed by bumper sticker theology and thought that was just a little too cliche for a Bible college. Oh, well.

Until next time...

Day 8

Today was pretty average. Go to church. Eat lunch. Be lazy.

But! I also babysat for several families (all but one of them were strangers to me) who are all involved in a Sunday evening growth group. So I watched 7 kids for a couple of hours, they ranged in ages from 11 to not quite 2. I mostly just stood where I could see all three major areas that they kids were playing in and surveyed. Basically, I played supervisor. They were getting pretty loud and one of the parents even came upstairs to ask the kids to quiet down, so I put on a movie. And since the kids couldn't agree on what to watch (and the older ones claimed to have seen every movie 10x (side note: children watch too much tv. Also- I do too, so I have no room to talk. But the kids kept telling me that they were bored. Where's the creativity? I've often heard 'if you're bored, you're a boring person' and told them that. I hope that if I ever have kids I can encourage them to be creative and imaginitive and only use the tv from time to time. I'm sure every mother is thinking, 'Oh, Andrea... you have no idea.' And I guess I don't, but what did people do before tvs? But I don't have children, so why are we discussing this?! :p )), so since no one could choose, I imposed babysitter law and chose for them:

I loved these movies as a kid!

They were not thrilled, but I didn't care! Mwahaha, evil babysitter Andrea. That's actually on my business card. Adults specifically request me because I'm renowned for torturing children. What can I say, it's a gift. 

So, now I have a few more dollars to put in my Italy fund. 

Until next time...
