College Life

My Dorm:
This is part of the kitchenette, there is also a little fridge that you cant see in this picture, and we have a cabinette thing on the other side of this with a microwave and coffee maker.

This is the basic Room part, on the right are our dressers and on the left are our desks. And you can see the huge window.

This is part of the bathroom. Yay. We have our own bathroom. across from the toilette is our shower, even though you cant see it. :D

This is my side with my bes and dresser. Today was my first day of actually going to classes here.
I have lived in my dorm fro a little over a week, and i love it. (Can you guess which side is mine? lol) The bathroom and kitchenette are really nice, and its a really big space for a dorm. Having our own shower is nice. Our dorm doesnt look like much yet because we havent really decorated or anything. We do have a huge window though. My roomate has a couple posters up, but not much else. Just our stuff everywhere. At first in our dorm there was only one ethernet cable for the both of us, so i went and picked up a router...but we didnt need it because my roomate, Jessica, her dad bought us another ethernet cable, and so its just more convenient for us, the router was kind of confusing anyways.
Today i had my first three classes,
I had my Theater class, Constructed Self [freshman inquiry], and the Constructed Self Mentor session. I liked my theater class, the teacher seems to be a pretty good theater teacher. My Constructed Self class kind of felt like advisory but with a college feel, but i guess it could be just because it was the first day. Its all about basically 'improving yourself as a whole' and 'making progress in your life' and stuff. stupid.
Tomorrow i have my class for my major;
Criminology. Im pretty excited to go to that class.
through my classes today i met alot of people, and talked to a bunch of different people from different backgrounds and such, especially in my theater class, there are quite a few people that are not origionally from the united states. There is a girl from the phillipenes, a girl from japan, a guy from basically the us, and everywhere in europe, a girl from australia, and a guy from nigeria. There are also alot of people from other states. In one class i have, I am one of the three people that are actually from oregon.
its kind of nice being around so many different people.
Other than that I have just been hanging out with CJ and everyone and stuff, we have made a habit of whenever i spend the night with him we watch the show House together at night, he owns every season of it. We just started on the second season.
So basically living up here has gone pretty smoothly so far, and i am really enjoying being here in the city. Classes started today and they went well.

I miss you tina, diana, amanda, and nae!!

Moving Day

So tomorrow is my moving day!
ill be waking up at about 7 and going for one last trip to bagel tree, and then we will head towards portland. We are gonna stop and shop in the woodburn outlet mall on the way there, so i am excited.
After that ill be checking in and moving into my dorm. Then i have to buy a microwave and some floor lamps.
Other than that i am just going to hang out with cj and go out with his family/friends for dinner at Amigos,
and then back to his house to hang out with a couple of friends for the night.

I am really excitedd to move. My room looks extremely empty, it has nothing in it except furniture and my boxes. its strange. But i like the thought of getting out.
Im kind of apprehensive about how my mom is going to take it, i know she is probably going to be crying the whole time, which is going to be kind of really not fun at all. Its probably going to suck alot actually. But im going to go out to lunch with them on sunday also before they leave.

Woot.
Yay PSU

Six Months Already!

Wow. Today myself and CJ have been dating for six months. Already.
it feels like it kind of flew by. It makes me feel wonderful. i have never felt so comfortable with any of my previous boyfriends, and i have never felt so cared for. we always tell each other how we feel about everything, good or bad, and we are always honest and open with each other, and i like that. We don't argue almost ever really, because if we have a disagreement we don't just argue and bury the hatchet, we just talk about the situation, and work it out. it seems to give us less problems later. I am just amazed at how quickly this date has come up for us, we have been together for half a year already, however, i do feel that even though the time has flown by, that the maturity level of our relationship is at a very good place. I feel very stable in the relationship and i am extremely happy with that. I love making memories with him. I'm sad that I couldn't be with him today to be able to just hang out and do silly things like watch Alice in wonderland while eating white cheeto puffs, and drinking some strange mixture of soda we created, but at the same time, i saw a quote the other day that really summed it all up for me. i think i actually sent it to nae in a comment on myspace...it said "true friendship isn't being inseparable, its being separated and nothing changes"
when i read that i think it carried over into my thoughts of cj and i. Its the truth, being with someone does not mean being inseparable, it means when you are separated things can remain the same while you are apart, as well as when you see each other next.
as you can guess, i am really excited to see him on Saturday. YAY. i have a hug waiting for me.
:D
well cj, we have been dating for six months today,
iloveyou,
and i cant wait to see what the future brings us.

life and bubble tea.

so first off, i had a great night with the girls the other night, we made diana a myspace [finally], ate ice cream, and watched terminator.
it was fun. they brought me the most beautiful flowers ever, and we just had a good time. i needed it from being cooped up in my house all weekend, although it took me half the movie to realize "oh!..theyre gonna do it!" haha.
as for my dad, he is getting better. cant work for a few days, but i tink he ssaid he will be able to go into work by friday as long as he isnt doing anything too strenuous. next week should be back to normal, he is going out of town, but he will have another guy to help out, so it should be fine.
other than that, it is getting closer and closer to my moving date! 12 days left now. i found out what was included in my room...and its completely furnished with a bed, dresser and desk for each person living in the dorm. so i dont have to buy a desk or anything, which is nice. all i really need to take car of now is getting my lamps/microwave. we have no overhead lighting in my dorm, which can be a pain, so jessica and myself are both buying standing lamps, and floor rugs for our sides. im really excited.
another thing:
RENEE:
what are you thinkin for your tattoo? you never said anything back to anyone.

Next thing:
Bubble tea. its this stuff, cj introduced me to it.
its delicious depending on what kind you get.
its kind of a creamy tea based thing, you can get it in whatever flavor you want, and you can get it in either the actual milk-tea form with ice, or you can get it in a slushy/smoothy form. i tend to like the slushy/smoothy ones better than the iced milk teas. cj always gets green apple iced milk tea, its ok, but i like mine better.
but back to explaining, it has this stuff in the bottom called boba. i guess its like this asian tapioca type stuff, its these big brown balls of it at the bottom of your drink. they are very strange. i guess cj says it takes a while to get used to it. they are kind of textured like slimy gummy bears. and the straw is extra big so you can suck them up. its very interesting. if you dont like boba however, you can get a jelly type stuff at the bottom instead. last time i got bubble tea, i got a kiwi slushy bubble tea, with strawberry jelly stuff instead of the boba. i really liked it. it tasted so good!
cj is probably going to laugh, but i may actually get a little boba in a kiwi slushy next time. i think i may be ready to handle the boba. haha.

the reason i wrote so extensivley about bubble tea;
i want some.
it just sounds good right now, and i cant have it because there are no bubble tea places in or around roseburg.

Appendix

yeah.
my dad got home from work last night, he didnt look so well, and he had been complaining of pains in his lower right side since about 2:30. i told him he should go get it checked out because he reallly didnt look good at all. he could barely stand up straight. it was pretty bad, but he insisted on showering first.
he got in and out of the shower for a tops of maybe 4 minutes, and told my mom he needed to go to urgent care.
they sent him to the ER at mercy because they said he needed to get his appendix seen, and so after waiting a while, they checked him out and indeed it was his appendix.
he ended up spending the night in the hospital, my mom got home at about 1:45 in the morning,
and my dad went into surgery at about 11 this morning.
he should be out of surgery now and recovering, and my mom is there with him again now.
so i think all is better, except that he will be out of work for about a week to a week and a half.
so we will see what happens with that.
other than that, everything should be all better now though.
ill keep you posted if anything else happens.
