So much for getting to start all over..
Whatever. Doesn't matter anyway.



HIGHLIGHTS FROM ALEX'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL:

Woke up at 6:45 (Which should win me an award.)
Made it to class on time.
Listened to my biology professor answer the same question over.


and over.




AND OVER. About the syllabus.


Kid 1: So. ummmmm....do we like.....need the book with the access code?

Professor: Yes. That's where my curriculum is coming from.

Kid 2: But I don't understand. So I must have the textbook with the access code....do I still need the textbook?

Professor: Yes. You need the book and the access code.

Girl 1: But that book is like......40 more dollars. Do we like really really need the access code? Or could we get away without it?

Professor: JUST GET THE *#&@&^% BOOK WITH THE %o%*&# #*$&#@*  ###*@&$&@  ACCESS COOOODE!!!!!!!





He then proceeded to through a student out the window..
Except we were in an auditorium. With no windows.....

awkward.




Continuing on....


Then I had a 4 hour break in which I attempted to get the school's secure internet connection working. Either I'm super stupid, or the system is stupid. Because something wasn't working. At all.



SURPRISE!!! Alex starts to feel weird and thirsty in math class.
And her sinuses hurt in psychology class..

You guessed it.




Alex got her usual "Welcome back to school Alex. Have a cold" Cold. Which sucks, because the level of apathy for the semester or school year is usually determined by the well being of myself during the first week. So far, I have failed. So now I'm drugged on Nyquil and overusing the toilet paper next to me....

(I'm a beauty queen!!!!)

I managed to survive work. Servers are bitches. Just going to say it. 

And then I snuggled with Dave for 20 minutes. Before I went home to go to bed....it's going really well.

But he gave me amazing headphones as a back to school gift.

I just wish I could open the box. Oh well.

Time for sleeping anyway.

I'm getting loopy. 

Droopy.

Poopy.

hahahaah.

I survived my first day of college. 

Blog Challenge: Day 19

I was camping today. 

I look keeeewwwwt.

Blog Challenge: Day 17

My whole almost-family!

This is not my most flattering picture...

this is right after PJ and Toots got engaged. We were all so thrilled for them. They've been together for the last four years, and I am so happy to have her be part of our family. Montana was magic this year...except that my boyfriend was super sick at home :(

Day 5: A photograph of myself from High School..

Well considering a graduated high school about a month ago, I'll just add some of my favorite moments that I have captured (:

Avenged Sevenfold Concert with my bestie Anne

 I donated blood this year. I got sick every single time. Threw up even. Almost passed out. But it was worth it. Because maybe I saved a neonatal baby, or an older friend 

 I met the love of my life while I was in high school. How many people get to say that? It's amazing. This was Halloween night. We had our first kiss that night (:

 I saw Florence + The Machine with my big sister Sara. She did that for me because she was going to be in the Dominican Republic for my graduation. Isn't she so sweet? She comes home on friday. Which is good. I really miss her. This was probably one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

 Halloween: Senior year.

I had so much fun with these girls!!!

 Hare Krishna Color Festival with my best friend Sariah. I love the Krishna community. It's amazing.

 Medical Explorers with my bestie Anne. We gave sutures to pig feet!!!

 Met and became good friends with these beautiful girls. They really made my senior year bearable. They are so incredible, and I feel so blessed that I was able to get to know them.

 Preference with Jesse. (: He was my cute boyfriend junior year for a short bit. But he was so sweet. We had so much fun.

 Prom with Isaac. Hahahaha. This was so much fun. he was such a stud!! My dress was so gorgeous. And I got to rent it for a killer deal!!! I felt so beautiful.

 Sadies with my little sister Sophia!! (: How many sisters get to go to a dance with their little sister???

 Senior Pictures with Chaos and Bliss photography. I had so much fun, and I was her ambassador, so I got my pictures free!

 This is for my puppy Shady...He passed away this year. I don't know that I have ever cried so hard, or felt so sad about an animal in my entire life. He was a little dude. My little dude. And I love him so much. Rest in peace Shady, 

 Suzi came to visit me!!! I love this woman.

 Then i went to go visit Suzi!!

Travis came home from his mission!!!!!

Too Tired.

How about that!!!!! Bad hair day solved. 

That is all.

Complainer.

This is a complainy post. Don't bother reading it if you do not realize that I, like any other, does not always have good hair and body days....

Sometimes having naturally curly hair is a curse from some kind of evil something. Hahahaha. Seriously it's not even funny. I get all excited to wash my hair, then POOF!! My curly hair does it's things, and becomes an unmanageable puff of curly stupidity.

Case-in-Point: Fluffy Hair Day.

It's also a little shitty when my mom (in the kindness of her heart) washes my shorts for me, and PLACES THEM IN THE DRYER. Do you know what that means for me? About a week of stretching them out to a flattering size. You're probably wondering why I bought them too small in the first place. Let me tell you a secret. I have 2 pairs of shorts that work with my current body right now. Because after my junior year, I gained a little weight, and well, here I am with 1 pair of shorts. What happened to the other pair? The denim gave out, and I busted the button. Thanks for nothing....

So it's probably not that bad...But I feel like it's that bad.

Hopefully I have a good eyelash day so I can give something positive to the universe....

TOO MUCH HENNA!!! For the last couple of days, every night before I go to bed, I've adorned my body with henna. Stupid? Only a little. It was cute the first time. But this last time, freaking ugly was born....I will share with y'all the ugliest henna on the face of the earth.....

My fingers look like a cat ate them.

Dave is supposed to be home within the next half hour, and we're gonna get grab breakfast somewhere. Good news. He loves me even when I'm a hot mess. Also, I shaved my legs, so if nothing else, he can be impressed that I actually shaved my legs for once. Which is funny, because as soon as I bought a nice razor I gave up shaving all together....

Jack is the cutest puppy ever. Except when he wakes me up at 6 in the morning. Then he's just a pain in the ass. 

I think I'll wear my Timber! Catstronaut T-shirt today. It'll make me feel significantly less ridiculous looking!!!!

Summer is here....thank God.

X AND Z

That's what I call Suzi and i. She my best friend in the universe, and she's coming in a few months just to visit me!!! (And some other select individuals)

Z and I met when we were 4. We've basically been best friends since then.

Don't fool yourself. We haven't always been thrilled with each other. There was a period in 5th grade where we were grounded from each other, and a period in 6th grade, where we had some outside conflicts interrupting our flow of friendship. Her name will not be disclosed. BUT! We remained friends through thick and thin. The best part though, is that even though sometimes we hate each others guts, we always love each other. I find that you tend to hate the people you love most. You know what I mean? Because you love them so unconditionally, that when they make you mad, they make you explosively mad. Hahahahaha,.

                                                              (We're a little spazzy)
 But these last couple of years especially, we have had serious bonding. We got really really close in 8th and 9th grade. Those 2 years, I all but lived at her house. That was until she moved. And even then, we didn't let the miles tear us apart.

But she's coming to visit! And this year there hasn't been a time where I've needed her, and she hasn't been there for me. She's always willing to give me a call to make sure I'm all good (:

                                               (Can you see why I love this girl so much?)

Suzi has some things about her that I admire. And always have.

1.) First, and most importantly, she's my best friend. And that's no easy task. Sometimes I'm  a pain in the ass. I can be pushy, and obnoxious, and grumpy. But she laughs it off, or tells me to knock it off.
 2.) She's a really good sister to her sisters. She's the oldest of 4 girls. That would probably kill me. But she's always doing things with her cute sisters. And genuinely enjoys it. Or is really good at faking it.
3.) She's hysterical. We laugh constantly!!! Oh my heck!!!! We laugh all the time.
4.) She's really really ridiculously good looking. (And she appreciates Zoolander) Honestly, she's the sexiest, prettiest girl I know.
And finally.
She's my best friend. Through everything. The rocky bits, and the smooth bits. But she's always there.


I can't wait for you to come Z!!!!
