So I think I've decided that I won't be blogging all the time. Maybe I'm just lazy or maybe I've just grown out of blogging. So far today I've been nothing but a bum. I woke up early as usual to go to the gym...came back and bummed. Then decided to take a nap without setting an alarm since I dont' have anything important to do. I slept from 1-3...damn what a long nap but I needed it. Plus Ed is visiting tonite and so now I won't be tired and we can stay up later. He had a long week so we will pretty much relax which is nice. Ok...so let's back track a lil.

[Friday]: I was sooo set in going to the mall but as I pulled out of the parking lot my car was shaking more than ever (it had been doing it every once in awhile since july) but it was sooo bad this time and I saw the "Engine Service Soon" light blink a few times. So I'm thinking great, I will never make it to Deptford if it's like this. So I pulled off to the side and called my dad to tell him that I was going to drop it off to Pep Boys which is like down the street from the school. I go there and they tell me it's like $80 for them to just check to see what the problem is and then whatever it costs to fix it. Eek, I had no choice so I opted to do that. Luckily some dude that goes to Rowan offered me a ride back. When I got back, I still wanted to go to the mall. I couldn't think of too many people who would wanna go to the mall, so I figured I'd ask to see if any of the freshman had cars. Ryan told me Jill does cause she works at the Deptford mall but he thought she already left. Then I was talking to some other girls but no luck but then I saw Jill walk by! HERO! So she was just on her way and said she'd take me but the only thing was that she works til 8 and it was about 1:30. So I figured I can probably manage staying that long if I had to and invited Ryan to go. Ryan is like the most patient shopper ever, I was like umm if you go, you do realize I will be going to all girly stores and that I'm totally cool with splitting up and meeting later. But he doesn't go to the mall too often and said he doesn't mind at all. Which he didn't and was very good for all those hours. Luckily while I was at the mall, Pep Boys called about the problem (some wiring needed to get replaced? whatev...don't ask me lol) while I was there and then said it'd be done within 2 hours. Then later Ruby returned my call and said she'll go to the mall with Desmond and then be able to take us back. We eventually met up and then left around 5ish which was perfect because I was so shopped out by then. Although I could have managed, it would have been tough by that point. She was able to drop me off to Pep Boys since my car was ready by then. The bill came to a little under $200 which isn't TOO bad considering it could have been a lot worse. My parents paid it but I will of course owe them. Yay for more debt! Ugh. Overall I was really lucky everything worked out smoothly. I still got to go to the mall and I got my car fixed. I am so lucky.

[Thursday]: First day of classes. Thursdays are my bad days cause I got 3 of them but so far they are good. They all let out early for a change and now that I'm mostly done with gen eds, I'm actually taking stuff for my major. I first had Cultural Anthropology that I am only taking because it's my second to last gen ed class I gotta take. I was going to take this pass/fail but my prof is soooo sweet and I would hate to have to tell her I'm taking it pass/fail. Plus it looks relatively easy.

Later I had Learning and Behaviorism. My prof is so funny. She was like, "Ok I'm going to the beach today and don't want to hit traffic...so this won't be a very long class." Haha, so we got let out early and everything. I love learning about Learning/Behaviorism, I think I will enjoy this class.

Lastly I have Leadership Seminar for the evening. My prof wasn't there but his assistant was. It's going to be an easy class though I think cause I know Coaxum is easy...although there seems to be a lot more work involved.

Thursday night I wanted to do something and eventually found something to do. I met up with Andrea and Amanda at their apartment and then we along with their new roommates (I hate being replaced) went over to Wilson's at Campus Terrace for a bit. Then we all decided to go to Beau. I ran into some residents...my cool ones (they are all cool, I like them all and they are all people I would consider to be my friends...that is how much I love these people) were leaving Beau so I decided to hang out with them since they were on their way back and I didn't want to end up having to walk back to Magnolia by myself. They decided to go to Campus Terrace, so Lauren (one of my residents) and I walked back to Magnolia. I felt soooo guilty, it's so early in the year and they saw me out. However they know I do go sometimes...this year I can't as much obviously but that's a good thing. I went to bed around 2ish and that was the end of my night.
