A what did what??!!

It's been a long time since I posted but today really needs a post. It's freezing up here at school. All day I've been layered up against the cold. I had a tank top, a long sleeved turtle neck, a hoodie, my jacket, hat and scarf when I went out. I had just gotten back to my room a little after 6pm. I took off my layers because it was pretty damn hot in my room. I was just lounging in my tank top and sweat pants when I got a text from my friend Cory. It said :

"Car crashed into Starbucks."

I wasn't sure if I believed him until Kyle called asking me if I knew what happened. I didn't and being curious that I am I started to rush over. I forgot my layers. I just threw on my hoodie over my tank top and my jacket. I forgot my scarf, my hat, and my camera, which I had never wished to have more than I did today. I ran over to Starbucks and could not believe it. A car was in the middle of the store. Glass was everywhere, an ambulance and EMTs and the police, and firefighters were inside.Students were crowded around outside. Because I used to work there for so long my first thought was that I hope my friends are alright. I still have friends that work there and I'm close with Oscar the cashier and the managers Sandra and Jaime. Since I didn't have my camera I tried to take a few pictures with my phone. It came out pretty shitty.

I met up with Cory and Kyle and stayed out until about 930ish trying to do some reporting for The Brick, our online newspaper, about what happened and who saw it. It was a crazy day and I was freezing. My feet were numb and still hurt. We still don't have a clear story of what exactly happened yet. The driver is missing and there are a few people in the hospital with injuries. There's already an article on newspaper website.

Homework and Trivial Pursuit

I pretty much did nothing but homework today. After Desperate Housewives I went over to Kyle's to work on our midterm project proposal. It's so hard to do work with Cory, Matt and Lauren in the room. We kept getting distracted by Cory playing music and then Matt decided he was going to read Trivial Pursuit questions. Cory has Trivial Pursuit the 80s, 90s and Pop Culture edition. It was a lot of fun actually. He'd read a question and we'd tried to guess it. The 80s one was really hard. We finally finished our proposal and I decided to hang around. I was having a lot of fun just chilling out and answering questions. We ended up hanging around until 2ish answering questions and watching youtube videos. Cory showed this one video of a guy screaming at cats that had me crying because I was laughing so hard.



On a side note -- I love doing nothing with my friends.

The Great Escape

Britt and I didn't wake up until 1ish and then we met up with Darci and headed to the dhall for the hangover meal. Dhall is so great after a night of drinking. I had a pretty amazing omelet. Britt couldn't stay the whole weekend so we dropped her off at the train station. Darci and I went to the mall to look for a Halloween costume for her, but found out that the Galleria mall doesn't have a costume store this year. It was freezing out today. I hate the cold.

Later on I hung out with Jon, his friends Bennett and Matt, and Lauren. We just hung out and did a whole lot of nothing. It was pretty fun. Bennett and I matched. He had on a plaid shirt and I was wearing my purple plaid dress. I had wanted to take a picture cause we matched, but I forgot. I hung out with them pretty late. I got back to my room around 2am. I was watching the tv guide channel and found out that The Great Escape was playing at 230. It's one of the greatest and saddest movies ever! It's based on a true story and takes place in WWII. It stars Steve McQueen, who is just awesome. It's about a bunch of pows that try escaping and their time in the German prison. Go watch it. Now. I know Kyle loves it so I called him and asked if he wanted to watch it. I went over and watched it together and it was so awesome, but it was super creepy walking back to my dorm at 5am. I'll never get tired of watching that movie.

On a side note -- I really want to go on a road trip.

Brittney's Visit!!

Today was amazing! Brittney came to visit. She transferred to Oswego for education :( and she hasn't been able to visit until now. It was so great to see her again. I really miss her. I miss living with her, Jenn, and Darci. I like living with Kaitlyn, but I really miss living with them too.

We went to Friendly's and the service wasn't that great, but the food was pretty good. We had a really shitty waitress. We partied pretty hard Friday night. It made me remember the times we partied last year. Haha it was really awesome. Sadly Jenn couldn't stay as long, because she had to drive back home and get up early for a camping trip. Darci had to get up early for work too so she didn't stay out that late. Britt and I didn't get back till late. She was staying in my room since Kaitlyn left for the weekend. I had so much fun even though it was really hot and humid.

Britt and Me. Last picture of a great night.

On a side note -- My camera, the olympus one that I take out on weekends, really sucks. I wish I had a better point and shoot, but it's useless to buy one since I have a DSLR, but I'm not taking that one out when I go drinking. I don't trust myself.

Pin-up Girls and White Rabbits

I came home for the weekend for the dentist again. I'm so sick of going to him because I always have to wait like 2 hours before I get to see him. There's no reason that I need to wait that long, but because the dumb people in the office schedule appointments for every 15 minutes, which is dumb at a dentist office. Anyway I went to Forest Hills and met up with Kriztille. We had tea and then walked over to the new costume shop that was on 71st. It was pretty cool. They had a lot of costumes that I want, but I eventually decided on the Pin-up girl costume. I want to curl my hair for the outfit on Halloween and I already have the cutest shoes to go with it.




We had some yummy ice cream after and then made our way to Barnes and Nobles like we always do. I bought a new book. It's part of the Masters of Time series, which I'm caught up on it. It felt good. I haven't bought a new book in a long time. It was a good day despite the long wait at the dentist and the rain, but I got to see Kriztille. It makes me happy when I get to see her when I come home.

On a side note -- I need to learn to walk in heels before Halloween.
