First week done almost! Then a three day weekend! super great
First of all, misunderstandings suck and I hate them
Second of all, dear boy on the other side of the lounge, I know you're kissing that girl's neck. Stop trying to hide it before I come over and pry you two apart...
Third of all!!! I LOVE LIFE! soo great. I think I have been getting too much sleep if that's possible because I have been really tired when all break I was only getting like 5 to 6 hours of sleep. So as you can see, I'm staying up later than usual! haha.
Classes are going really really well! I love them and all of my professors! My phone is not working. I can't send or receive text messages which sucks because it's my main source of communication. UGH! Oh well. I guess I will update later and more often! YAY! :)

Second Semester!?
I cannot believe it's already second semester! This is crazy!
Alright, yesterday I got into ISU and was totally dreading moving all of the stuff into my room. It really didn't take as long as I expected but I was up till 4am doing last minute cleaning and such. Totally worth it.
Last night, Breanna, Josh, Katie and I went to Friday's to get some dinner. Such a good idea and then of course we went to Walmart!
Katie and I needed a few items but then we spent most of our time in the toy section deciding what we would get. We decided on play-doh!!! super excited.... I was also looking for this game called Imaginif that Robby has but they didn't have it! oh well, I still brought back Mad Gab and Monopoly for some epic Friday night fun! haha
Even though I went to bed at 4, I woke up this morning at 8am on my own. I don't understand myself sometimes. Either way, I got my books and I have practically zero. Okay, I have 4 books but that's not that many. I don't know what I'm gonna have a ton of free time! (don't tell my parents). I mean.... I will study everyday all day because my parent's hard earned money is being used wisely. ha Well. I'm off to help Megan unpack. LATER!

The Deck Diaries: Day 1
Well, it's the day after Christmas which means I am headed off to my family cruise. Here we are on the first day of our vacation and that would entail staying over night in Galveston, Texas and leaving the port tomorrow. That's all we did today. Hopefully the following days will be much more exciting.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland
That's what Holland, MI is right now. A winter wonderland. I finished my finals on Monday night and then left for Union Station on Tuesday morning. Met my mom for lunch at Cheesecake Factory and then hopped a train to Holland to visit Duda!!! The train got in about 45 minutes late but that was alright.
The best thing about the snow here is that it is AWESOME packing snow. It is sooo easy to have a snowball fight or make an EPIC HUGE snowman. We did neither of those; however, we did go to this little park by campus that is so cute! We also walked around downtown Holland at like 1am. It's a small little town and it reminds me of the old section on Glenview. I also got to meet the two people Duda talks about all the time: Abby and Scott. They are cool.
Today, I have just been chillin' on my computer in this one building that has free WiFi. Sam had some classes today but some were canceled because of the snow. We are supposed to get about 20 inches over the next few days and it's supposedly the biggest snow storm Holland has seen in years. I would be here for that haha.
I already miss my friends from school. :( But I can't wait to see them over break and have awesome adventures!!!!! That will be super fun!
I guess that's all for now. Duda's christmas party in her dorm is tonight that should be fun! Later!

BOSTON!!!!!!
Soooo. I got to go to Boston for the past few day! Best decision ever! :-)
Wow. So much to talk about!
So I got here on Saturday morning around 10am and Gavin wasn't expecting Alexis and I until like midnight that night. So I text him as I have been sitting in the airport for like 2 hours. Turns out Alexis still isn't supposed to get in till midnight! CRAZY!!! So Gavin takes the subway to get me and we took the subway back to where he lives. I decided that since I was on the East Coast, I had to get some legit seafood. We went to this place called Legal Seafood which was quite delicious. Our waiter made us get oysters, East and West Coast. I'm very glad I had water sitting next to me... I will never eat another oyster again. They are just slimy and gross and all you can taste is the saltwater. SICK! Legal Seafood does have amazing clam chowder that I greatly enjoyed and the scallops tasted super fresh. It was funny though, the waiter asked us like SEVEN time if we wanted some wine. Gavin and I were like uuhhhhhhh, no.... haha apparently we look old. stoked.
That night I got meet Ricky Valadez and the band, Ricky, Luke, Tyler and Gavin. Definitely check them out on Facebook if you get a chance. SUPER AWESOME! I got to see them practice and I totally got to have a sweet jazz jam with them, scatting and all. We ate at this place called Cappy's afterwards where it's like $2.50 for a piece of pizza the size of your body and saw the three story Apple Store. It was a great night.
We then met up with Derek and just chilled for the night. He was totally just showing off and stuff. Super Ridiculous bahaha just kidding! Derek is awesome!
Then Sunday!
Gavin took me around to see Boston. We went to Newbury Strizeet! It pretty much has anything that you want store wise. Lots of cool specialties stores too. Like a comic book store that was super epic! Just a bunch of comic books and lots of CD's. It was pretty cool. We went to Upper Crust which is this great little pizza joint that is only in Boston. I got a pizza with tomatoes, basil and eggplant on it. Pretty unusual but twas delicious!
We then walked to the Boston Commons. On our way, we saw this cool looking cemetery. We also went to this park. Gavin swore that there were these fake ducks somewhere in the park but there were none to be found. We all know that Gavin is going insane, something about the salt in the air from being so close to the ocean.... BUT we did see these kids playing QUIDDITCH! dude. yea. legitimate quidditch, broomsticks and all.... later we posted that story on averagewizard.com and we made it on! pretty much greatest accomplishment of our lives... pathetic hahaha.
We then went to chill with Luke and Tyler. They have this HUGE room that is supposed to be for three people but it's only them so they have a sweet set up. This included "The Aura" and Ugaloo the chicken god. Don't even worry about it. Then Rickaaaay came over and we all just chilled for a whizile.
Then Derek came over to Gavin's after we got back to his apartment and then Derek took me to see the Charles River. Very pretty view. We got into a fist fight with the Dunkin' Donuts cashier.... baha not really but pretty much.
Great talks are amazing. I feel like when you really sit down and talk with someone you learn so much about the other person but even more importantly you learn so much about yourself. I love great talks and I am always down for them.
Then Monday... my last day here. I pretty much slept all day cuz the room I stayed in has no windows so when you wake up you pretty much think it's still night time and you kind of lose the will to wake up and because Gavin had classes. So then around 6pm we went to dinner at an authentic Indian restaurant which was actually pretty good and now I'm packing and getting ready to leave bright and early tomorrow morning.
Well that's all I've got. I will definitely travel more often because I love it. I want to go everywhere and experience new things and people. It would be the perfect job. Well onto the rest of my Thanksgiving Break and if I don't blog till after... HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!
Wow. So much to talk about!
So I got here on Saturday morning around 10am and Gavin wasn't expecting Alexis and I until like midnight that night. So I text him as I have been sitting in the airport for like 2 hours. Turns out Alexis still isn't supposed to get in till midnight! CRAZY!!! So Gavin takes the subway to get me and we took the subway back to where he lives. I decided that since I was on the East Coast, I had to get some legit seafood. We went to this place called Legal Seafood which was quite delicious. Our waiter made us get oysters, East and West Coast. I'm very glad I had water sitting next to me... I will never eat another oyster again. They are just slimy and gross and all you can taste is the saltwater. SICK! Legal Seafood does have amazing clam chowder that I greatly enjoyed and the scallops tasted super fresh. It was funny though, the waiter asked us like SEVEN time if we wanted some wine. Gavin and I were like uuhhhhhhh, no.... haha apparently we look old. stoked.
That night I got meet Ricky Valadez and the band, Ricky, Luke, Tyler and Gavin. Definitely check them out on Facebook if you get a chance. SUPER AWESOME! I got to see them practice and I totally got to have a sweet jazz jam with them, scatting and all. We ate at this place called Cappy's afterwards where it's like $2.50 for a piece of pizza the size of your body and saw the three story Apple Store. It was a great night.
We then met up with Derek and just chilled for the night. He was totally just showing off and stuff. Super Ridiculous bahaha just kidding! Derek is awesome!
Then Sunday!
