Home (At least for a while...)

Well, I am home for summer break, at least for a week. I leave in 7 days to spend 3 weeks in South Africa (WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!), so I am anxiously awaiting that!

Let me just recap the events from spring break to the end:

1. Rugby. Lots of it. =)

2. Springfest whipped my ass. Hello 3 days of drinking and other debauchery, hello awful hangover... First time being hungover in class. Also, what Bobbie calls my "drunken bisexuality" came out again as Wheels and I ran all around the rugby house kissing various teammates... Oops =)

3. Home for Easter! 

4. Relay for life, and the drunkest I think I have ever been (after Relay).  That Sunday, I woke up SO SO SO drunk, and then was hungover as shit for a band concert. Oh heyyyyy Dad and stepmom, oh hey.

5. Finals. Papers. Home. 

And now? Boredom abounding. Room was painted, and I'm getting used to it. The house is a WRECK from being painted, and I am trying to help clean it. Massive amounts of unpacking, repacking to move stuff to Dad's, packing for Africa. Waiting for phone to be fixed, waiting for friends to return, waiting for sister to go to Prom! 

And that is all for now. =)

Mud Monsters and a Funny Video

I haven't posted in awhile, and that is due to one thing: End of the semester crunch time.  With less than 3 weeks of classes left (EEEEEK!), the work is piling on, and the weather is getting nicer. Its a vicious cycle. I so badly want to be outside frolicking in the sun, but I am left sitting in the study lounge with the window cracked.

Anyways, I found time today for a brief post.

My main relief from work is rugby.  The pitch is always muddy, and yesterday we made slip n' slides out of tackle bags.  I came back COVERED in mud. The words on my shirt were completely obscured. It. Was. AWESOME. We are playing games on the weekends, partying after, and generally having an all-around good time! I'm relishing the time with the seniors before they leave (sniff...) and they are all decomped and mostly stress-free!

*Note: Before graduating, each Allegheny student must complete a Senior Comp.  These range from extensive lab experiments, to case-studies, to 50-75 pages of fiction.  Comping seniors pull weekly all-nighters, cry frequently, and have been seen carrying jugs (literally milk jugs) of coffee to the library. When a senior is decomped, their comp has been handed in.

And this is for Bri. Last weekend, there was a dragshow on campus, and a boy that we went to high school with won it. It was phenomenal.

Home Again Home Again, Jiggity Jig

Home sweet home! I have a large room to myself, access to a car, and am surrounded by familiar civilization again! A week's reprieve from classes, midterms, rehearsals and whatnot was much needed and I am relishing the free time!

Things of note that will be happening this week:

Mucho bonding with Emily and Kate. 

Mucho cuddling with the doggy and kitties.

Mucho sleeping.

Mucho great eats.

And then some. 

This week...

I'm in a list kind of mood...

In Like A Lion

Is this weather depressing anyone else? It's gray, wet, rainy, and cold. Absolutely miserable.

Whatever sunshiny mood I left the dorm in is long gone.  It left with the clear skies and so did any motivation to get work done.  All I want to do is sit on my bed in my pajamas with the light off, blinds shut and watch movies and drink tea all night.

However, I have 2 exams this week and a game this Saturday. I must drag myself to the gym, to rehearsal, to a study session, and to the library. *Insert heavy sigh here*

On the less cloudy, less rainy side, 9 days until I go home. La la la.

And So It Begins...

RUGBY SEASON!

Let the flood of bruises begin. Rugby season is here! With our first outdoor practice yesterday, we are preparing for a game on Saturday. EEEK! I am so immensely excited, and terrified at the same time.

We lost our 2 starting locks, meaning I have now been bumped to starting. I think I maybe got in 40 minutes of playtime total in the fall. I am so scared that I will not know what it going on, that I will do something insanely dumb on the pitch, and that I will get red-carded...

At the same time, I know the rules. I am in shape. And we are playing a high school team. How bad can it really be?

We'll find out in t-4 days...

Feeling Better... Slightly

So I'm feeling slightly better today. No fever, and my throat doesn't hurt as badly.  I still didn't go to any of my classes, or work.  I also noticed how weak I felt after spending 48 hours in bed, with only 2 meals total (soup one day, and rice/noodles the next).  I meant to go grab breakfast today but fell asleep instead.  Easy mac for lunch it is!

I'm still going to rugby practice though.  With a game on Saturday, I have to!
