Hmmm...

I've decided I'm going to try to update this every Sunday. I'll probably still suck at getting it done on time, but I shall try haha.

Not much has been happening this week. Been hanging out with a friend who lives in my dorms quite a lot, but otherwise there's not all that much to say! Hadn't seen the girls all week until last night, when we headed out to Passage (the doormen recognise us now hahaha). Had a really good night, foot got really sore towards the end though! Sore foot + heels = ow. I remember Caitlin and I running around after a taxi, minus our shoes. Classy as always. We had a table again which was really good, though we did spend most of the night dancing. Mind that time we had to pay a $30 service charge even though we served ourselves?? Pffft.

I booked flights to go to Boston over spring break. Really looking forward to it!! Caitlin and Stacey are heading to Panama City, but I felt that I didn't really want to do the whole party holiday thing again. I'm sure it will be amazing, but I'd rather use my time to go visit somewhere I really want to see. I leave on the 5th March and return on the 10th. Had plans for the 11th/12th/13th to go to Indiana to see a motorbike thing, but I think those plans may be off now. But oh well, still got loads to look forward to!

I've been doing pretty well with my school work/tests. Have gotten loads of A's and some B's, so impressed with myself haha! Got 97% for a group presentation that I took part in, was so happy! Have a couple of tests coming up this week (never ending, I swear) but hopefully they will go well. Got a paper to finish (read as: start) for Tuesday...really should get on with that. I just keep telling myself it's only a page and a half, double spaced, so it's really not all that much haha.

Really can't believe I have been here 7 weeks, it has gone in so quickly. The next 3 weeks are going to completely fly in too, with me going to Boston and stuff. Kinda crazy. Really looking forward to planning my traveling for my last month, can't do it though until the Florida trip is sorted! HI GUYS GET YOUR TICKETS THANKS.

I've kinda realised this week how much I'm going to miss everyone I've met here. Saying goodbye is definitely going to be emotional, however on the plus side, I can totally come back and visit/have people visit me, so all is good!

tl;dr: I am loving life.

USA USA!

Once again, it has been forever since I last updated. I'm so bad at this. Trying to remember what we have been up to is so difficult!

Okay, two Thursday's ago we were going to go out, however we left it so late that we realised we weren't going to get in anywhere. So instead, we headed to our friend Sam's house and had our own little party in there. Was a really good night, we ended up staying the night then they took us for breakfast/lunch the next day. Went to this cute little diner named Pepper Pod for breakfast, then to Chipotle's for lunch (wasn't impressed with either!)

On Saturday, we had booked a table at a club called Passage. We went to the guys' house to "pregame", then headed out later that night. The club was really nice, and was even better because we had the table. Means that if you wanted a seat you could go sit down! We met Kelsey and her friends there too, and just generally had a fun-filled night! However....we did run up a $300 tab. Oops? Ended up heading back to the guys' house and once again stayed at theirs. Definitely making a habit of this haha! However, I did fall down their stairs and pull a muscle in my foot....not cool.


Me, Stacey, Rebecca, Caitlin, Kelsey, Taylor, Kelly


On Thursday there (10th) we once again went to the guys' house. However, we had planned an American themed party. The girls went shopping on Wednesday morning while I had class, and went to a big party store. $120 later they came out with streamers, decorations, a pinata, and a big blow up beer holder. Sam picked us up that night and dropped us off at his house, then we got to decorate while everyone was out haha. The room looked pretty impressive! Had another really good night, and managed to not fall at all! Definite improvement.

School wise, not much is going on. I've had a busy couple of weeks with loads of tests, but it has calmed down a bit this week Won't be long until I have loads to do again though haha. Still loving my classes though, kinda wish they did it this way back home. For one, you learn more, and it's actually quite fun. I have a couple of projects coming up soon which will keep me busy, but oh well. Such is life!

Not too sure what our plans for this week are. The girls are heading out tonight, but my foot has been really sore today. Nothing sounds worse than dancing in a club with heels on all night, so I decided to have a quiet one. Kinda bored though! Need to watch a movie or something.

Derek has invited us to dinner tomorrow with his parents. I am so looking forward to having some home-cooked food!! Definitely sick of burgers, fries and pizzas. Loving the salad bar in the Union though, so good! But yeah, as far as plans go no idea. I guess we'll just play it by ear?

Shall update again when I remember/feel like it haha. I apologise for being bad at this whole blogging thing.
