This is not a post about my life. This is me venting.
Have you ever felt like someone close to you is hiding something. And it seems as if they think you are too dumb to figure it out. i want this person to be open with me, I want to know all about what is happening in this person's life, I love this person like a sister/brother. (NOTE: this person doesn't read this blog, so it's none of you guys...I promise)
I feel like the reason we have grown apart is partly my fault, in an involuntary way. I wish I could take it all back but I can't. I hope within a few weeks, by the time I have plans with this person, it will all blow over. But part of me feels like it will never change. Partly because this person is slightly immature, but is maturing. But this person is still at the point where I feel like they don't get that they can trust me. That sounds so cliche, but I want this person to trust me enough to tell me things again.
Then again, recently, I feel I cannot trust this person anymore either. But for very different reasons.
I don't know if any of you can relate to this, or can sympathize. I don't care if you do or don't. I am just blowing off steam, I guess.
Life sure is funny.
Bon Appetit.

Changes
I can finally feel the weather beginning to change, or at least I can feel it wanting to. The sun however is a punk, and is bullying the cool air. In the sun, obviously, it is hot. But as soon as you walk in the shade you can feel a HUGE difference. I cannot wait for the sun to calm its wrath (ah, brings me back to the Stafford vocab assignments). That is one change.
Another change is dad is back in Vegas, working for his old boss. So far things are interesting. The place he was supposed to stay at has a cat, and he is allergic and hates cats. When the guy who is also staying there got there he said he didn't want my dad there even though the boss said so, so they had to put dad up in a hotel (in Vegas that isn't such a bad thing, I don't know what hotel he was in though....probably some dinky little place).....I have yet to hear how things went today so far, I know the boss is in town though.
Another big change that happened this weekend, closure.
I can finally move on and away, hopefully, from that high school drama known as Cassy and Duncan. Duncan and I had a long talk Saturday night and we left on terms of closure. Not on terms of reconciliation, nor on terms of hatred, just pure closure. Hopefully this will vanish into the past and we can all embrace the future.
My english class is canceled tomorrow. And so is my acting class on Thurs. So, I get to sleep in for two days! Also, on Friday I do not have my orientation class anymore so I will be finished at 11:35 and will be on my way home at around noon.
This past weekend I house sat for the Sanchez's. That was relaxing. All I did was lounge around the house with Lucky. Yes, I got Lucky in Tom's house, you all want to say it, I know. (For those of you who do not know, Lucky is their dog...."getting lucky" is an ongoing joke).
Also I went out to lunch with Lindsey, her mom, her "sister", and her godmother for her birthday lunch! And then we watched our movies we made in English last year. They are brilliant by the way. We also watched our nun video and our silent movie (both of which are on youtube). Tom/Lindsey, we are amazing! And Kris, you were a great addition to our team!
So far nothing to talk about this week. Classes are classes. School is school. Rehearsal is canceled until next wed. So, I am free as a bird for a while.
Tonight I have younglife at 9. I don't think I will go out afterwards with them if they go. I haven't been feeling too well and should probably get a good nights sleep.
Go me! I found a website where I can watch The First Wives Club my equivalent to Allison's The Princess Bride, another movie I love. But, this movie is the movie I watch to make me feel better. I especially love the closing scene. "You don't own me"
Ok, no mad-lib today. Sorry.
Until something more eventful happens in my life...
Bon Appetit!

I want to start this post by announcing the winner to the mad-lib contest.
First, Kristen, I don't talk about integrals, right now I only discuss derivatives. Also, I don't really talk to David about that kind of stuff. Sorry.
Secondly, Tom thank you for your suggestion. But I will not just come up with a rule on the spot, I learn from the posts....SO, from now on, only one entry per person. (You didn't even come up with one Thomas.)
Allison, you are so correct, I got excited over my squid (we will talk more about that in a minute). As for the other thing, that is nerdy, but not my kind of nerdy.
Lindsey, I so get excited over May 27, you hit the nail on the head with that! I am grinning from eat to ear!
But, gosh I hate doing this, the winner is..........I know! Our first tie!!!!!!! YAY Lindsey and Allison!!!
I will write you a poem.....
You two rock,
like an artist with a smock,
You make want to dance like a fool,
and when I do, I still look cool!
Ok, that poem was about me really.....so I am giving you two and air hug, and I have your present Allison (I will talk about that later), and Lindsey I have a special present for you that you will get on Saturday!!!!!
Moving right along. I promise this post will not be as long as the last one, I don't know what came over me.
Thank you all for your support though!
Today I had acting, I adore that class! Afterwards I talked to my teacher for like 2 hours, about monologue and transferring and life in general.....I like her, she said I remind her of herself and we get along really well. I can see that she will be a mentor to me in the future.
Then I had lab....WE DISSECTED SQUID!!!! It was so cool!!!!!!!!!!!! My partner didn't want to touch it so I got to do everything!!!! We were told to find where the eyes were and I did, it exploded and purple goo ooozed out of the eye....(sorry if you have a weak stomach)....Inside the eye is this little pearl looking ball, I don't know its exact function...but I saved it and am giving it to Allison....Oh, I named my squid Fredrick (pronounced Free-drick)....He (actually a she) was about 8 inches long, and had red spots on him. The only bad thing was the whole room smelled like fish. I hate fish so much....so I wore gloves and didn't get the full effect. I hate fish more than anything in the world and was going out to lunch afterwards and if I smelled the slightest bit of fish I would not have eaten....so I took precaution and wore gloves.
I had a really good lunch at the cafeteria place. Beef fajitas, beans, rice, and french fries.
I have discovered the best thing ever. It is the worst thing nutritionally but it tasted awesome. French fries dipped in refried beans....Oh my goodness......yum.
I also had calc. I was really close to getting up and teaching the class...she is adding in extra steps that are just confusing the class, and then tries to use vegetable analogies to try and....it was dumb....not to mention the kid asking all the questions was a little slow. Even though my teacher went a little too far. The way she wrote it on the board made it clear how to get to point B from point A.....
What I mean is: We were taking the derivative of a^x, which is a^x * lna. She had like 5 steps in between those two points...but it was obvious how to get from one point to another. It was just frustrating that people would be confused and then she would kind of give up and start all over....
Anyway...My roommate went home early and I have had the room to myself all today and I will all of tomorrow until I get picked up.
That is all I believe I will write for now. I have some things to do and then I will retire.
Oh, I just watched the season premier of Pushing Daisies....it was a good one! Excited for next weeks show!
Bon Appetit!

I want to start out by announcing the winner of the mad-lib contest from two posts ago. Nice effort Tom, but you literally made my brain hurt. Kris, c'mon, plays the oboe? You have to appeal to your audience here. Which is really just me, because I am the only judge..... But you are cute and I am excited you figured out how to comment. So, the winner is, Kristen. Your prize:
a poem written on the spot (bare with me):
I don't know how to start,
how bout something from my heart.
Kristen you are such a dear friend,
one I will cherish till the end.
Your mad-lib was kind of lame,
but at least you played my silly game.
Thank you, no autographs please.
I have been in my head a lot today. And, I want to talk. I realized last night, that I enjoy my own company. I know doing everything by myself is no good, and I like the company of others. But, the people I am meeting are making me like myself more and more. Let me explain. So David is really funny and nice, but when you add in his other friends, he changes. Same goes for his other friends. When I talk to them one on one they are awesome, put 'em all together and what do you get? Emily very disappointed. Now don't get me wrong, I am not giving up on making new friends, I understand this is a trial and error kind of thing, but I have no problem balancing out meeting people with meeting myself. What I am trying to get at is... Please do not give me a hard time for not be as social as others. I will do it at my own pace on my own time and in my own fashion. I want to find people I can be comfortable around, who I can be myself with, who I find potential in having a lasting relationship. I know I cannot replace Allison, Lindsey, Tom, and Kris. But I don't want fake friends. This is just me venting....sorry I am making you sit through this....
I will move on...well....
Also, the whole stereotypical "college life" is not my cup of tea. Alcohol and drugs are just dumb, I can have a great time without them, in fact I have. Staying up and out all night I find annoying. Yes, I could be having a good time, but I like sleep. I like being healthy and sleep keeps me healthy. I like having a bedtime for myself.
Ok, I am really done ranting about that crap....
Yesterday:
I had acting and calc.
In acting I performed my monologue for the class. I did well but I we cut my monologue so I could focus on emotional shifts but I was a bad thespian and didn't practice all weekend (I was very busy). My main focus is getting it as good as I can for my audition in October for the program. My teacher is excited to help me with that, so that is my main focus.....also cutting a Shakespeare to a one-minute-er. But she handed me a play, told me to read it, and told me she wants me to do a monologue from it. That's a good thing. It is All My Sons by Arthur Miller, and the character is Anne Deever.
In calc we got our tests back. 99% baby!!!!!! Thank you Mr. Stone for teaching me so well last year. I botched one thing, but that is how I roll. Most of my lost points last year were stupid mistakes....test anxiety....in this cast it was just me not using my common sense.... Now we moved on to the second derivative and the chain rule....more easy stuff! I really hope this is how the whole semester will be, because I am a theatre major why do I need math? Also I like math, just not hard math....
Last night I went to Young Life, a christian group on campus. It didn't start until 9, so I knew I would be out passed my bedtime. It was so amazing though! The people were so nice and everyone was jamming and worshiping, and the woman who leads the group has this really cool South African accent and her message was about taking the time to create relationships that are meaningful rather than fake ones (hence my little brain villagers rioting). Afterwards I was invited to go to In-and-Out with a bunch of people. I didn't realize it was like 2 miles away from the school and we were all walking at 10:30 at night. Also I was hungry but didn't bring money with me....and I was too tired to eat...and their food is really good but I am out of acid meds so that would have been a bad combo anyway.....
I am a wimp, so I brought up the fact that we were north of the campus and my dorm is on the southside of campus and it was nearing midnight....they said one of their friends stays at the same dorm he will walk home with me....and he did (again, with the others he was annoying, but when we were just walking he was so cool....) I got home at like 1 and went to bed...after doing a Sudoku...I am addicted to those by the way....(There you are Kris...more about me...you love getting to know who I am...."Have you ever been in a natural disaster?")
Today:
I had english: I hate that class more than I hate seafood, ok I hate seafood more but you get my point.
Bio was bio....boring but entertaining in a weird way....when he acts like Mr. Dole things get entertaining...
I had to meet up with my group from my Orientation class to do a project that is due Friday (our final meeting of that stupid class). We have to come up with some sort of thing and create a proposal....we are doing a fundraiser for the Phoenix Children's Hospital....but here's the catch....it is a Medieval Times Festival incorporating children's theatre into the mixture....it actually sounds really cool, I wish we had the time and money to actually do it....I say that now,but Lindsey is living proof that those things get pretty stressful..... Ours is just a mock proposal....
Rehearsal was canceled, which makes me sad, I love rehearsal!
Mom and Dad were supposed to come up today...but they have literally been sleeping all day long, every time I call I wake them up....It's bizarre....but I am pretty sure they are ok.....
I actually just called and dad was up.....but mom is sleeping.....
Not that you care and/or need to know....but my but is asleep.....
Oh! I had a very big dinner, my first big dinner on campus since school has started. I had pork and chicken and broccoli, carrots, mashed potatoes, and a brownie...it wasn't great but it was food!
I get excited over the stupidest things, huh?
Emily is so nerdy, she would get excited over _______________....
(rules for this mad-lib...be realistic...don't say nuclear physics or something not cool like that, you all know me.....or at least you should......)
The little brain villagers have stopped rioting, they are now just protesting..... The texting conversation with Lindsey and my brief rant helped calm them down a little bit....hopefully a good night sleep will get things back to normal....."Hey brain villagers....it's a school night, go to bed! Riot some other day! Please!"
They weren't listening to me verbally so I thought if wrote it they would see it more clearly....
Kristen I am sorry I didn't call you, I have been in another mind set today....Tomorrow? We shall grace each other's ears with each of our lovely voices!!!!!
As for the rest of you hooligans....
Bon Appetit!

Sleepy time, she comes.
Alrighty, welcome fellow friends and family to another great edition of Breakfast at Emily's!
On tonight's show: My weekend escapades! YAY! (I am sorry if I seem very animated...it is actually the total opposite of how I actually feel right now...I just find it funny that I can make it seem that I am more alive since I am typing and not actually talking.....)
Let us begin at the beginning (according to a very fabulous source, that is a very good place to start)....
Friday evening. Lindsey came and picked me up. We got all dressed up and went to Taco Bell. Actually we got all dressed up for the theatre but made a quick stop at taco Bell for dinner. Then we were off the the theatre....or at least we tried to get there....The theatre is located on Monroe street. So there we are in downtown Phoenix in the midst of all the president streets (Washington, Van Buren, Jefferson, etc....By the way, Van Buren got a main intersection and Washington only got a side street.....that is because Van Buren is where all the prostitutes go and Washington I guess was too good of a president to have a prostitute street...I would have been honored...JK) anyway, Monroe was this little itsy bitsy street with an even tinier sign.....so we drove right past it, once we started getting streets that were no longer presidents we kind of figured we had to go back. I noticed the street as we were passing it so we had to make our second u-turn to get back to Monroe again. On Monroe, I turned to Lindsey, "Do you know what the theatre looks like?" and she replied, "No, I don't." We drove a bit more and came across this huge building that said on the side of it, "Herberger Theatre Center" or something....."Look Lindsey I found it!" was my smart ass remark. As we were walking up to the theatre, they have this naked statues (which was strange), and I was about to walk up to them when I noticed one of them was not a statue but was instead a lady singing opera ballads (she was still there when we left the theatre too...I wonder if it is a good business for her)....The show, now that I wasted time with the unimportant "you-had-to-be-there-funny" stuff, was AMAZING. I love this play. I am going to buy it and use monologues from it for the rest of my life! It was just so intense and well written and the woman who played the main character was so good. I thought going into it I was not going to be able to enjoy her performance because i am biased (Meryl Streep will be playing that role on the big screen on Dec. 12) but she was so good! I am so excited for the movie now!
Then we went back to Lindsey house, after first trying to get smoothies but failing miserably when we saw the place was closed. We had an interesting phone conversation with Kristen, I was nursing a sore tail bone, and Lindsey was throwing things on the ceiling fan....(You know what I am referring to Lindsey)...
Saturday:
Lindsey and I woke up fairly early to go to Gold Canyon to visit Blair and the babies, which are growing so fast you almost can't call them babies anymore! I love those children so much! I miss them already and I saw them yesterday! We stayed a little while and then we were off to the Sanchez house so I could do my little sister, Jessica's hair for her homecoming! I, personally, think she looked really fabulous! She looked so grown up though, my little sister is growing up! :( She had a great time and I was so excited for her! I love you sis!
I went to Allison's house after that and my other little sister, Nicole, also looked all grown up and pretty! Allison and I watched Johnny English (Love Rowan Atkinson...so funny) and started, finally, to make our dolls. I ended up with skin (we are making them out of t-shirts, and they take forever to sew, by the end of the evening I had "skin" because I had finished sewing but had yet to stuff it. Also, Baja Fresh went out of business, which really freaking sucks!
Sunday morning, I stuffed my doll, almost all the way. Allison has to finish stuffing when she closes me up. And then, someday, we will finally finish them. We went to church. Went to youth group. Then Allison and her dad dropped me off at the dorm (around 3). I went on the computer checked my email, realized that when I sent my teacher my monologue to help me cut it some more I didn't send the monologue attached....so I will hopefully get her suggestions by tomorrow so I have time to work on it before Tuesday morning.
I started playing Bingo online but realized I was falling asleep, so I took a nap at 4. I set my alarm for 5:30, when it went off I turned it off and told myself, "Why are you waking up? If you are tired sleep, you have no where you need to be..." So I did just that, and woke up again at 7:15 ish (I don't remember exactly when I woke up but it was sometime after 7). That was a really nice nap, I needed it. Now it is 10:30 and I am feeling drowsy still so I will be able to sleep more! Dad was telling me he took a nap and now won't be able to sleep tonight...but I am different and can sleep all the time!
I wanted to go to my mailbox because I have a movie there for me but I will go after bio and watch it tomorrow afternoon before rehearsal.
Tomorrow I have English, and Bio-lecture. Fun stuff let me tell you!
I also plan on going, after english, to get a big breakfast because I am kind of hungry now (but not too badly) and I am too tired to make something and eat it....so I am looking forward to breakfast!!!!
I really wrote a lot, what else is new, and am getting tired again. So, I will go. Hope everyone is doing just fine and I will write again tomorrow....
YAY, Kristen just figured out how to post on my blog using her AIM account....I have been on the phone with her, but not talking to (because I cannot multi-task) the entire time I have been writing this. SO, I do not have a winner of the last mad-lib yet, because no one posted and Kristen just did. So, no mad-lib on this post....sorry!
Bon Appetit!

On tonight's show: My weekend escapades! YAY! (I am sorry if I seem very animated...it is actually the total opposite of how I actually feel right now...I just find it funny that I can make it seem that I am more alive since I am typing and not actually talking.....)
Let us begin at the beginning (according to a very fabulous source, that is a very good place to start)....
Friday evening. Lindsey came and picked me up. We got all dressed up and went to Taco Bell. Actually we got all dressed up for the theatre but made a quick stop at taco Bell for dinner. Then we were off the the theatre....or at least we tried to get there....The theatre is located on Monroe street. So there we are in downtown Phoenix in the midst of all the president streets (Washington, Van Buren, Jefferson, etc....By the way, Van Buren got a main intersection and Washington only got a side street.....that is because Van Buren is where all the prostitutes go and Washington I guess was too good of a president to have a prostitute street...I would have been honored...JK) anyway, Monroe was this little itsy bitsy street with an even tinier sign.....so we drove right past it, once we started getting streets that were no longer presidents we kind of figured we had to go back. I noticed the street as we were passing it so we had to make our second u-turn to get back to Monroe again. On Monroe, I turned to Lindsey, "Do you know what the theatre looks like?" and she replied, "No, I don't." We drove a bit more and came across this huge building that said on the side of it, "Herberger Theatre Center" or something....."Look Lindsey I found it!" was my smart ass remark. As we were walking up to the theatre, they have this naked statues (which was strange), and I was about to walk up to them when I noticed one of them was not a statue but was instead a lady singing opera ballads (she was still there when we left the theatre too...I wonder if it is a good business for her)....The show, now that I wasted time with the unimportant "you-had-to-be-there-funny" stuff, was AMAZING. I love this play. I am going to buy it and use monologues from it for the rest of my life! It was just so intense and well written and the woman who played the main character was so good. I thought going into it I was not going to be able to enjoy her performance because i am biased (Meryl Streep will be playing that role on the big screen on Dec. 12) but she was so good! I am so excited for the movie now!
Then we went back to Lindsey house, after first trying to get smoothies but failing miserably when we saw the place was closed. We had an interesting phone conversation with Kristen, I was nursing a sore tail bone, and Lindsey was throwing things on the ceiling fan....(You know what I am referring to Lindsey)...
Saturday:
Lindsey and I woke up fairly early to go to Gold Canyon to visit Blair and the babies, which are growing so fast you almost can't call them babies anymore! I love those children so much! I miss them already and I saw them yesterday! We stayed a little while and then we were off to the Sanchez house so I could do my little sister, Jessica's hair for her homecoming! I, personally, think she looked really fabulous! She looked so grown up though, my little sister is growing up! :( She had a great time and I was so excited for her! I love you sis!
I went to Allison's house after that and my other little sister, Nicole, also looked all grown up and pretty! Allison and I watched Johnny English (Love Rowan Atkinson...so funny) and started, finally, to make our dolls. I ended up with skin (we are making them out of t-shirts, and they take forever to sew, by the end of the evening I had "skin" because I had finished sewing but had yet to stuff it. Also, Baja Fresh went out of business, which really freaking sucks!
Sunday morning, I stuffed my doll, almost all the way. Allison has to finish stuffing when she closes me up. And then, someday, we will finally finish them. We went to church. Went to youth group. Then Allison and her dad dropped me off at the dorm (around 3). I went on the computer checked my email, realized that when I sent my teacher my monologue to help me cut it some more I didn't send the monologue attached....so I will hopefully get her suggestions by tomorrow so I have time to work on it before Tuesday morning.
I started playing Bingo online but realized I was falling asleep, so I took a nap at 4. I set my alarm for 5:30, when it went off I turned it off and told myself, "Why are you waking up?

There is nothing like Ice Cold Water to wake you up....
All my water froze in my fridge, so when I am thirsty (or think I will be thirsty) I must take one out and let it sit for a while. Now, when ice melts it turns into water, and the bottle can only handle so much pressure....so when I opened the bottle the water came rushing out and into my lap....now do you understand my title? Also, when Lindsey and I filmed our Physics music video (which for those of you who have not seen it, it is on youtube....titled nuns and inertia) and we jumped into the pool...that was freezing as well. Stupid as I am, that was not the first time I voluntarily got into a freezing cold pool. Brittany was trying to trick my grandfather (who, even though suffered a stroke and is out-there, knew the pool was cold in January) into going into the pool. She decided she would push me in to show him it was fine. I hesitated and we basically wrestled each other to the ground (those of you who know my sister know I must be pretty strong to hold up a fight with her for this long) and I surrendered myself because I knew she would fall in too....that was really cold, I couldn't feel any part of my body and I was having trouble breathing for a while afterwards (not too good)....
But anyway, on to my current life....
Yesterday I had my calc test, I don't think I need to go into detail. It was painfully easy.
Also, I had lab bio (we played with seashells), I had to roll a pair of dice 100 times and record the numbers I rolled (riveting stuff).....
And acting! OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH
ok, so we were supposed to have a monologue picked out and memorized on Tuesday but I missed class so I procrastinated even more and waited until wed to start memorizing mine (really bad thespian I know)...and on Thurs I had to perform it for my teacher for feedback and I will perform it for the class on Tues. But, I was worried because I waited so long to do it...it was Catherine from the Foreigner...... but I went in and did the best I knew how and she said, "You have such a beautiful presence onstage that I couldn't tear myself away from your performance to take notes." That got into a really good mood. But now that I have shared my good mood-ness, I want to drop the subject because I need to focus on it and I am not at any point where I can just not-do and be amazing, heck when I do-do I am not amazing.... also I feel weird talking about myself in this way....so, I'm done
Today I had english, my favorite class (if you cannot tell how I cringe when I say that...imagine the thought of getting your tooth pulled by a giant rhino tusk...still attached to the rhino)
But my friend (Lindsey, the only one I have) David (aka-Chubbs...idk) is in that class. On Wed I went out to breakfast with him and his friends. Today we weren't hungry enough to go get food, so we walked around for 90 minutes. It's great because both of our next classes start at the same time. We are the worst at killing time though. He walked with me to turn in some papers, then he showed me the secret garden on campus (that place is cool; it's relaxing and quiet, and remote) and we found a bench and talked. It was nice.
I went to bio...I swear this old man is like Mr. Dole just less eccentric. He talks about the perverted science stuff, which most teachers talk about but make it get-your-mind-out-of-the-gutter-this-is-nature, in the most perverted way possible....today he was talking about how rhino tusks (my reasoning for using that example earlier I guess) we ground down to make aphrodisiacs but nowadays we have Viagra which, "I have heard, I don't personally use it" works better and is cheaper.... That was awkward... I thought you you Allison...you know why, "Afternoon Delight"
In about 25 minutes I will leave to go to the most pointless class ever, Orientation to Theatre and Film. We are working in our groups today which I have never met and we have to do something or another.....whatever....I will just go with the flow....like a dead goldfish being flushed down the toilet....
Later, Lindsey will come over and I will give her the grand tour of ASU....Allison will get hers on Sun. And we are going to go see Doubt, a tony winning and Pulitzer prize winning play about a nun who thinks the priest is having relations with a male student. The movie, starring Meryl Streep and Phillip Seymore Hoffman, opens in theatres on December 12. And, the critics are already saying their performances are Oscar nominations at least. The trailer looks amazing! If you want to watch it go to simplystreep.com and you can find it there. It is worth watching.
I just realized I have my bio final on that day! YAY! At least I will end the day on a good note...kind of....
Well long time no mad lib so, and I will still give prizes....it may just be difficult to get good ones....
Monkey see, monkey __________ (don't be boring and say "do")
Bon Appetit!

Mother Knows Best
Before I get into today's topic, I will recap on some other issues.
Tom- I understand it is Yale, but you are such a lizard. Why are you in a place where it snows; and I, the snow bunny, am stuck in the desert. I am being rhetorical I don't want to hear "Because I got into Yale and no place would accept you"
Allison- I have family members who read this, so to talk about that one thing would be quite interesting, but now I brought it up so here we go!
Backtracking to the Olympics. We were watching the men's gymnastics and Allison was laying on the ground right under the tv, and exclaimed how everything looked larger...and then up on the screen comes a man who's stretchy pants displayed his, in Allison terms, junk. She was a bit frazzled by this and it was quite funny. The other day I was walking back to my dorm and this guy rode by on a skateboard and lets just say it was the reruns of the Olympics. I just started laughing hysterically. So there, my story for you Allison.
Class today was ya'know. I had english again...I really dislike my teacher...as you also know.
Then Bio...our other professor is back...he is cool too though....he tries to appeal to his students though....like today we were talking about plants and he said, "They have kinky sex." We all kind of couldn't believe he said that...but what he meant was, since plants do not have legs and cannot just get up and reproduce there needs to be a third party involved. It was funny but weird considering he is in his 60's.
After english though, I went to breakfast with a guy from my english class and his friends. I enjoyed myself and am glad to finally start becoming social! YAY ME!
Now for the chaos............and the reason for today's topic.
Words of advice: When your mother tells you, "Do you have everything?" even if you know you do, check.
I got back to my dorm and realized I had left my phone charger home...and my phone had less than half the battery life..... I called home and said, "Don't say I told you so...but..." So, mom knows today I get out early, and Britt had a doctors appointment at 1, so she said she would run it by. My phone is completely dead at this point. Instead of going out to lunch, I hurry back to my dorm, open the blinds, and do some work on the comp. Hour after hour goes by and mom isn't here yet. I start talking to Allison on Facebook and asked her to call my house and see whats up. She writes back, "go on AIM mom is online." I do so , and turns out (to make this long story a bit shorter) mom was waiting for me to call and tell her I was in my dorm....HELLO my phone is dead, I have no friends, and my roommate is gone all day; how do I call you?!?!?!?!? So we have this weird lecture like talk over AIM for about an hour...
"Do you want me to come now?"
"No I have rehearsal in 30 minutes, but I don't want to walk home at night without my phone"
"Well when dad gets home we can come up or do you want me to bring it in the morning?"
"I have class at 9, It's up to you , I do not care"
"Well what do you want?"
"You're the one who isn't feeling well, you decide"
"Dad and I will come up later, where is your rehearsal so we can meet you?"
(Mind you this went on longer and in more depth...and now I have to explain to my mother the campus that she has never been on and hope she can figure it out)
I leave for rehearsal, get there and one of the other actors is there but our director and all the other actors aren't. We wait for 20 mins, try to find a computer to check our email (the comp lab was closed for testing), and checked all the other rooms in the building. Finally, at ten to six, we decide no one else is here she must have canceled and left a voicemail which I cannot check. So, we leave. I get back to my dorm have Allison call my parents, find out they are on their way, and can finally take a sigh of relief....or can I....
I go out to dinner with my parents, get back, plug my phone in, and the messages roll in. I check my voicemail...5 new messages....
First three from mom, "Call me so I can bring your charger'
The next one from Tifani (my director), "He Emily, We will be meeting tonight at six not 5:30."
The last one, "Hey it's Tifani, it's a little after six hope you are on your way."
I got these at 9..... so I will see her in class tomorrow and i just hope that I am not in trouble because I also had to miss Monday's rehearsal because mom was sick and we had some issues at the house.
On a good note: I have my monologue almost memorized for tomorrow's class....UGH
I swear my life is a sitcom...and will become a very entertaining book when I do write it!
OH, Kristen though is funny. I am telling her all about this and she says, "I don't think I got that all, can I call you so you can explain it better?"
"No, Kris, my phone is....."
"OOOHHHH, I get it"
I love you Kristen!
Well, I will let you know how far up the creek without a paddle I am tomorrow when I find out.
Tomorrow is my long day.....and i have my first Calculus exam....
By the way...I passed the bio exam...with a 78%, not as well as I thought but I passed!
I have some Lab bio homework to finish and I need to work on my monologue more...so for tonight, that is all....
PS: My allergies are worse than yesterday too, so I had to deal with that while dealing with the rest of life.
Until next time,
Bon Appetit!
