***SPECIAL EDITION...COP NIGHT!!***
Well first off, I should say that I really shouldn't be making jokes about this cuz I was really upset at the time but now I look at it as a kinda funny since it turned out ok. WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN CAUGHT!! Haha Lauren, I totally did NOT say that. One thing I do remember saying is afterwards that the cops almost pulled us over when I meant to say that the cops almost wrote us up, I was a little confused on my words...so what can I say? I sound a little flagrant right now...I was mad that they made us dump all our alcohol but little did they know that Ngoc had some more stored in the cabinets, DUHHH...so can we kill Ngoc's neighbor's cat now?? Ngoc's neighbor calls the police even though we weren't being that loud (were we?) but I had no idea that it was the cops who knocked on the door, I thought it was the neighbor lady. Everyone else knew who was there but me (I'm deaf, sorry..) I remember lying on Ngoc's bed "hiding" from the "neighbor lady" and thinking "why the hell is this neighbor talking to Ngoc for 15 minutes!?" and wondering why the lady's voice sounded like a man's voice. I started sleeping on Ngoc's bed as Lenny hid in the bathroom and what a site I would've looked like if the police saw me sleeping through police invasion! They would've thought I passed out. Well I got bored sleeping and peered into the hallway and saw a cop standing there, that is when I freaked. SHIT!! So I ran into the bathroom with Alan and making too much noise, he kept telling me to shut up cuz I wouldn't shut up. The police found us in the bathroom and pulled us to the living room. He asked us our ages and asked us if we had been drinking "Just a little bit" I responded (I was way drunk, haha). How I managed to keep a straight face, walk in a straight line and talk ok to them is beyond me. I do have to admit that when they asked my age I almost told them I was 20 instead of 19, I was a little confused about how old I was and that would've been bad. They let us off on a warning and NO MINORS, go us! We must've done something right....afterwards I cried...and cried...and cried...oh then I puked....THE END click here for pictures

I am packing for college...in between that I am updating my webpage rapidly since I do not assume I will have much time once I reach college on Wednesday. These last few days are just depressing...Friday night I said goodbye to Lauren, Sat. night was Heather, Sunday night was Al, tonite will prolly be Ben since we're going for a walk real soon. I HATE THIS! Saturday night was damn funny! I returned from Kristy's bonfire party for the "crew" at 12:30 AM. I received a phone call from Ngoc and I told her to come over to my house since I had some stuff for her. When she arrived, my brother called and told me he and his friend, Paul, needed a ride home from St. Paul cuz they had a little too much to drink. Me and Ngoc hopped in her "pimpin'" Honda and picked them up. I drove home with my brother in his car that was in the ramp and Ngoc drove Paul to our house in her car. Being a Silvercab is fun! Peter tried to convince Ngoc and Paul on my cell phone that we were driving right behind them (even though we were 10 minutes behind them). He told Ngoc go flicker her headlights and I assume Ngoc did so and my brother screamed into the phone "I can see you!" and Ngoc and Paul believed him, HAHA. Las night me and Al watched Sex in the City epsidoes, DAMN good show! Highly recommend it. Check out my pictures site if you haven't in awhile, I've been adding daily in hopes to get everything on there that I wanted to. GOOD NIGHT!

Back at Drake! Been here for two weeks and so far things are going OK. I will not mention the large quanity of homework I have indulged myself into (oh oops, I just did...). I get 8 hours of sleep and I'm still tired during the day. Oh yeah, a cold epedemic stretched across the Drake campus, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAMN SUMMER! (Ok, it's not summer, but how does everyone have a cold in the hot weather??) I apologize in advance to Ngoc, Ben and Lenny who I saw over Labor Day weekend, if you start coughing, get a slight tickle in your throat and your nose is slightly stuffed (it's not TOO bad of a cold, REALLY) it's from me..most especially Al....sorry bud but I had my mouth all over that beer bottle trying to get the cap off and then you finally got it off, whoops...Recruitment starts this Wednesday and runs through Sunday night, so I will fall off the face of the Earth for awhile I assume. Well I must get going to two more classes left for the day and then it's the weekend! GOOD DAY!

You're talking to the worst parallel parker at the Drake Campus! Feel privileged of knowing me...well those of you that knew me in high school might now that my driver's test when I was 16 was near perfect except for the minor parallel parking problem...I got a zero. But that's ok, Kate lives in the suburbs, "I'll learn later...you know, when I have to..." Hi folks! IT'S LATER!! And I thought I was doing pretty damn good...I have my car here and I must park on the street since I never purchased a Drake sticker. I ran into the curb :( I am very worried right now because I am literally trapped until the person in front of me moves their car. I am supposed to go shopping tonite but we'll see...this is not good news. The weekend was good! Friday night was volunteering at a Golf course with a few DG sisters and we got 4 service hours but it was simple (that's not volunteering, that's LAZINESS). Saturday night I fully intended to do homework but the SAE frat house was calling me over (oh wait, that was my DG sisters doing that...). Me and Tanman got pizza late night at Spikes, the one thing I miss in my "diet" is not being able to eat pizza whenever. Cold went away and I am not as sleepy as before, however, I am going to bed at 10 PM tonite, haha we'll see how that works out. There is my new "column" on my webpage, which will be written weekly, and no I am NOT the author of it, Luke is! (who the hell is Luke?? I'll give you a hint though, it is not me, it is a close guy friend) It's for shits and giggles so don't take it too seriously!! HAVE A GOOD WEEK!!

Recruitment is OVER. That is a good and bad thing, we got awesome new girls to the house and we are very excited to actually hang with them and meet them. Know what happens though when you look forward too much to free time when you're EXTREMLY BUSY? You take advantage of laziness when you finally have the time! Classes are going alright, my Literary Study class is a bitch...she assigns too much homework and we discuss faloopy topics, thus only further proving that liberal arts major is nothing more than your mind fabricating nonsense and getting class credit for it. I have mastered the tecnnique of bullshitedness. No really...I do love my classes, but sometimes I even get inquisitive and skeptical about the significance of what I'm learning. "Do you see how the chair represents something more than what your ass sits on? You can interpret it to be a symbol for the boy's multiple personality". Tell me to write an essay to persuade you of this theme and I could convince you in a page. Drake denies my request for release from board meals, so I'm willing to negotiate but I will NOT let Drake take advantage of my money, I am already paying more money for the supposedly better knowledge of education I am receiving by the ever advantageous private school. I am in the process of applying to Austria and hope to have the application be sent out next week and I will most likely be accepted and be on my merry way this February! I am too excited that I force myself to stop thinking about it.

I eat too much, WAY TOO MUCH. I average about 4 granola bars (or Rice Krispie Treats or K-Bars) a day. Isn't that bad? I still stay within my point range but the point of Weight Watchers is to eat LESS yet I feel like I eat the same as I did before Weight Watchers. Lauren helped me come to a revelation...I still have a little over 10 pounds to lose which is difficult when you are plateauing, now what?? I am supposed to continue to do everything right and eventually I will hopefully overcome it! Blah, the way luck goes for me, I doubt I'll be the lucky one. So I am in the Drake cafeteria (yes folks, I actually attempt to eat Drake food about once or twice a week). There is a wonderful sign sitting on the counter of the cafeteria "Healthy Choice!" and it lists the Grilled Chicken Sandwich as the sole choice for someone wishing to eat healthy. Only 330 calories and 13 grams of fat! (For those of you nutrition illiterate, a Snickers bar has about 16 grams of fat). I steer clear of that fatty food, go home and take my points finder to calculate how many points that is, keeping in mind that a typical meal of protein, a fruit and veggie for me should really not total more than 8 points if I want to eat balanced the rest of the day. My points finder says the chicken ITSELF is 7 points and the bun is most likely 3 points, which totals in a protein portion of your meal alone is 10 points! It makes me somewhat skeptical of what they consider a healthy meal choice and what all the other fatty foods total to. So my point here is not only bash Drake some more (I really hate them) but to also further inform you of the ignorance I once had thinking last year that a grilled chicken sandwich everyday is a healthy choice, no wonder we gain the freshmen 15... how to avoid this? Prepare your own foods, and be aware that those late night trips to the vending machines and to pizza places add up gradually. What a horrible society we live in...
