I figured...

...That it was probably time for me to post another blog. At least while I have a lull between reading for class, going to class, working, cleaning, and arguing with anti-feminists in my online sociology class.

Actually this is me pretending that I don't have massive amounts of unpacking, homework, reading and probably more important things I could be doing. Oh well.

Speaking of unpacking I'm proud to say that my parents are now officially homeowners. That's right I now am fulfilling the prophecy that I made about dying alone in my parents' basement (the room is a lovely color though so that's not too bad). Oh well it's rent free and only temporary. However it is a perfect house and everything that they were looking and hoping for. Pretty much a dream come true. All it's missing is the cherries and whipped cream on top. MMMM whipped cream.

I am now currently a full time student at NIC. While the campus is less than ideal I just always have to tell myself that it's only for one semester and at least I'm not stuck living in Moscow. NIC really isn't all that different from your University campus setting and I'll give you a few reasons to prove that point:

1) There are still those people who think that it's a good idea to stop walking in the middle of a doorway. Or even better, the stairs. Don't worry your pretty little head. The rest of the world will wait while you have a conversation with your significant other about who left the toilet seat up.

2) You know that douchbaggy guy who drives around a campus filled with pedestrians at breakneck speeds while listening to music so loud that you know his ears just HAVE to be bleeding? Yeah, he's here too.

3) There's still that one professor that reminds you of someone crazy. In my case my Chemistry professor reminds me of what would happen if Rainman and the Joker had a baby. Picture that one.

4) Those annoying people who talk in class when they don't have anything valid or important to say. They're multiplying and getting dumber every semester. It's a worldwide phenomenon.

5) I have yet to see a girl named Kaleigh Marie Enos roaming around this new campus which still makes me sad. I miss her lots.

6) How about the creepy van that rolls around campus every day? You know, the one that is being driven by the Grizzy Adams looking guy wearing a fake leather jacket that makes you want to tell all the kids in the neighborhood to "GET OUT". I bet there's one on your campus.

Other than those few things that I expected to happen with my transition I just have to say that I absolutely love the area I live in now. I think it's perfect and really fits the saying "there's no place like home."

Live. Laugh. Love.
