52 Days!

There are officially 52 days until I'm completely done with my freshman year. I am so excited for this summer. I think I'm the most excited for a consistent type of weather. This freak weather in Spokane is getting old. It's as if Mother Nature has been trying to package every type of precipitation into one windy package. Sunny mornings or sunny breaks trick people into leaving their rooms with light jackets. Then when the student is leaving class it's hailing.  It will be nice to be able to wear flip flops and shorts again. I was tempted to wear my new Ed Hardy flops I got from my parents but I remember how crazy it is. 

Spring Intramural Soccer Is Starting Soon! Sunnyside up! Going for the ship again this semester. 

Relay for Life is starting. I'm on a team called Save Second Base! haha How funny is that? I thought it was hilarious. We are apparently making t-shirts and I couldn't be more excited. 


I decided I'm grateful for the lack of shopping near Gonzaga. I spent more money than I wanted to during spring break. I had a great time but I should've been a little more fiscally responsible. Spring break was great. I witnessed the Urban Iditarod for the very first time. It was basically an insanely large pub crawl. Each group was dressed up and had a shopping cart instead of a dogsled. It was hilarious. They ran through the Saturday Market to get to the next pub before everybody else. We went to Voo Doo Doughnuts. My favorite so far is the Cereal Topped one. The Crunch Berries are SO GOOD! The bacon one is a little much for me. Not that brave. I enjoyed a great weekend with some amazing friends at the beach. It made me even more excited for the summer. I am so lucky to have so many cool people living relatively close to home. It's going to be a good summer! I already have a job for the summer and am looking forward to it. It's a little bit of a drive but it's going to be so hard to find something this summer. I've already worked their once so it'll be a fairly easy transition. 

I have a friend from home visiting me this weekend and I couldn't be more excited! I love it when my friends from home have the chance to meet all my friends and Gonzaga. It makes telling a funny story so much easier when you can put a face with the name. 

I am in class so I'd better go. Sorry this wasn't incredibly exciting but hopefully I'll have something to rant about soon!

Midterm Update

I'm already dropping the ball of this blog. I apologize. 

     I am currently at work and bored out of my mind. While I did get some studying done for my midterms, I get so lonesome at work. There is one other girl in the building right now and she is currently napping on the couch. That gives you an idea of the traffic that comes in and out of here... She can nap in the front room! 
Midterm week is just cruel. We are expected to perform well on tests the week before we get to go home for a week. Do they have any idea how difficult that makes it to concentrate on everything. I'm already half-way checked out. Two of my midterms are huge percentages of my grades. I am doing my best to stay concentrated. It's hard.
It's almost my birthday. I won't be 18 anymore. I like saying "I'm 18" so much more than I like the idea of saying I'm 19. What perks come with turing 19? At least in Canada you can drink, there is nothing new and exciting at 19. It's just your last year of being a teenager. Which I think it odd because aren't we considered adults at 18? But I suppose eighTEEN sounds much better than eighDULT sounds. I'm a little disappointed I won't be getting the annual Swerhone Birthday Breakfast, but I was promised a rain check for when I'm home this weekend. Thank goodness. 
Doglover. I am beginning to wonder why she does what she does. I think her bedroom dance parties are stress relief. Maybe we should throw a doglover dance party during midterms week. Dance all the stress out. Just an idea. 
I will blog about something relevant soon. I hope I do anyway. Until then, good luck with midterms!
