happy sweet sixteen megan!!!

It is my sisters 16th birthday today and I cannot believe that she is ready and legal to hit the road! Honestly, it seems like a week ago I was just starting to drive and Megan was in the passengers seat on the phone with mom telling her that we were still alive. ha.
I have not seen a good picture yet, but she has been given her car (thursday surprise!) it is a pearl white audi a4 with black interior. so cute! BUT it is a stick shift so I know there will be a couple stories to come of stalling out in intersections...
well HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN. I wish I could be home today to give her a hug and have her tower over me. Me: 5'4 Her: 5'8. Neat.
I am about to make edits on an english paper that is due tomorrow. 6 pages of fun! Actually I think its going to be a good one. I've met with the professor twice now and i've read it so many times I'm pretty, actually REALLY sick of reading it. Hope it goes over well!
Jimmy EAt World is coming to campus! its our annual FALL FEST today. However, I did not buy tickets because I have 4 tests this week... and psych on tuesday is going to be horrible. There is so much to know! Ahhh.
What else?
- I'm starting a count down till when Mom and Megan come see me. October 12th... 13 days away (counting today) So SO SO excited.
- Fall Break: Oct. 6th-9th. it will feel soooo goooooodd. During which there is a definate possibility my girls and I will take a trip to Disneyland!!!
- Eyes are doing better, less blurry and light sensitive
- The fam and I finally got our iChat up and running! It was so good to see them in person! Oh and with megans new addition to our little Mac family she can chat with me too! :)
- Last night it had been offically a month since my first night here. Time really does fly.
- Tennis tournament in Claremont yesterday, I played doubles and lost. We were lucky enough to play the #1 seat for Claremont in the first round.
- I am incredibly tired.
- Just did a load of laundry and feel like an acomplished and clean person.
- Today is Sunday.... which means its sundea sunday. yum yum!
- OH and last night we had a team dinner at this girl Katie's house and her parents made us spinach/artichoke dip w/ pita chips, lasangua, and mud pie for dessert. it was so insanely delicious I really couldn't stand it. Homemade food has never tasted so good. (Accept for your dinners mom!!) So it basically made me homesick for real for and not commons sandwiches..
- Team bonding night: Wednesday. @ the Branding Iron (this 18+ dance/bar club thing) .....should be a good time :)

Love everyone and Happy Birthday to sis again!!!

- i ate lunch by myself today, i sat under a tree and ate my sandwich as quickly as possible.

very long weekend

So its pretty late and I just finished up drafting an english essay. I am extremely tried and had one of those never ending-longest -day-of- your-life day's. I woke up late because me and the girls went out last night and we went to brunch. Then we came back and my eyes were bothering me so I tried to put some visine in them. I slept with my contacts in last night, not thinking to take them out before bed, but I've done that in the past and its never been a problem.. Anyways they both turned blood shot and started stinging and then they got really light sensative and starting freaking out. So my roommate helped me turn off the lights and put a cool cloth on my eyes but lying down just made me focus on it more and then I started getting this pressure behind my eyes, like front of my head. SO, to make a long story short I thought I was going blind, haha. And it was really perfect because today was a sunday and our health clinic is colsed sundays.. so hilary and dani ended up having to drive me to the ER to get my eyes checked out. After a 2 hour wait and confusing paperwork that I didnt understand I learned I had two eye infections, woohoooo.
So we went to fill the prescription at Walgreens and then came back to eat dinner. Then Jackie had to drive me back out to Walgreems to PICK up my eye drops. Then, by the time we arrived back on campus disaster struck and my good friend's boyfriend broke up with her. They would have been dating for 3 years on the 10th of october.... So i had to go over and help her for the remaining part of my night. When things calmed down in that department I realized I had an english paper I needed to make some progress on, but due to my eye condition, could not start earlier today SO here I am... midnight. Calling it a night. I have a 730am tennis workout in the morning. That means AT THE GYM at 730AM.... Ummmhmmmm, yeah.
I'll definately sleep well!

i thought i moved away from the rain...

So even if I move states and attempt to find the sunshine, the rain still finds me. I woke up this morning to sprinkles and a very wet parking lot, ugh! Everything is cloudy and grey here, its feels like home! So, in that sense it's kinda nice, well more familiar than "nice" lol, but nevertheless, it's not sunny. This rain also means the courts are wet so the doubles match we were tentatively planning is not looking promising...
Oh! I almost forgot to write about my night last night! :) It was very fun, Hil and I went to the Chi Ro Psi (spelling?) house a little off campus to meet the new frat pledges. It was kinda more like a group date thing. I was actually glad because they were all nice and kinda cute (nothing special lol) but it was better so I didn't feel tied down to talking to just one person. Katie, our friend from Delta was there and a few more of her sorority friends. It was more like a "meet&greet" for the guys, to see if they liked the frat, house, and members, etc. They had wine and cheese and crackers for us. I had a glass (well plastic cup, ha) of red and then white. I liked the white better I think. Anyways, it was really fun and I got to meet a lot of people, even other girls too who where there as dates and friends and stuff.
After that this guy Joe (in my english class, Hil's former crush..) picked us up with his friend and took us to this baseball party. It was okay but it was loud and the guys there were drunk and obnoxious. Anyways, we made it home in one piece, lots more stories but I'm headed out for some brunch, yum! :)

date night!

So, first off... Hil and I have dates tonight!!! :) We met this girl from Delta last night and theres this mixer thing for fraternity pledges and they need dates for dinner/drinks and she thought of us! so we are getting all dressed up in our "cocktail dresses" and heading out for a good dinner and maybe some drinks ;) Hopefully they are cute! But even if they're not, we'll meet people and hopefully get to know some of the Delta girls better. Delta is the sorority I'd be interested in if I chose to go greek.. there are four different ones. But freshmen aren't allowed to rush until second semester spring so no need to worry about it now. I'm off to go do make up and get dressed with Hil. Update later!

oh and liz is coming!!

I almost forgot Liz is coming tomorrow... my first visitor! She's in route to UCLA but is staying with me for one night. I'm so excited to show her around the town, go out to dinner, and have her meet my roommates and new friends :)
I miss her so much! I'm sooo excited!!! :)

my package came!

Just running off to the tennis courts, but I wanted to write a little note because I am so happy my package came today!! :) My wonderful family sent me an entire pan of carmelitas (soooo deliciouis) and a cute card and other random things to keep me busy! I love getting mail and I'm so happy that I got a little something that reminded me of home today. OH and mom sent a REALLY cute pair of sweats from Napa that I'm planning on sporting tonight. yah!
I love you all :) to the moon and back
