Happy December!

I know this post is a whole day late and that is probably hard to believe, due to the fact that I was 100% ready for December the very MINUTE it arrived.

But late it is and here is why:

1. I have been quite busy as of late doing real homework for once. Yesterday I wrote my last paper of the semester. I am cool.

But guess what. I actually haven't written a real paper since my Junior year of high school. I didn't have to do one citation page or bibliography or ANYTHING all semester. How ridiculous is that? I can feel myself getting dumber by the day. All my papers are pretty much essays of my opinion and they don't even have to be intelligent. I was expecting a little more out of college, I'm not gonna lie.

2. So, speaking of my paper. It was on The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch, what he thought was important in life, and what I think is important in life. Have you seen it? It's pretty good. I liked it. He said a lot of awesome things, including the following about some important guy in his life: "He's forgotten more than I'll ever know." I love that.

He also said, "If you do the right thing, good stuff has a way of happening." Quite true.

3. The roomies. Sometimes I just get so distracted by them and my blog goes unnoticed. Would you like to hear what we have done in the last 48 hours?

a. Miss C. cooked and ate an artichoke. Have you ever seen a real artichoke? It is the weirdest thing. In the middle there is this fuzzy stuff that's like a brush. And it's edible. It is so strange. What's even weirder is that we could not find the heart. I swear it didn't have one. Wait, maybe the brush thing was supposed to be the heart. Hm.

b. The Hybrid did workouts in the middle of the hall and up and down the stairs and I was her trainer. Again, I am cool.

c. Then The Hybrid and Miss C. jumped over a chair repeatedly.

d. We took turns jumping from the stairs like superman into each other's arms.

e. The tele has been showing America's Next Top Model and Donkey Kong as of late.

f. Last night me, The Rock, and The Hybrid played a real game of soccer in the hall. It was intense. Those two against me. The final score was something like 18 to 6. But if you think about it, I basically scored half their goals for them so...ya. My whole toe on my right foot is a bruise. It's totally sweet. But at 12:30ish in the morning we were forced to stop because apparently there are quiet hours in this dorm that had started 2 and a half hours earlier and other residents were trying to study/sleep. Whatev.

g. And finally, my mama let me borrow the video camera so we have been documenting college life. I think every college dorm should have a video camera. It is pretty much the funnest thing on the face of the planet.

Thus my blog is neglected. But it's December so all is well.
