Libs = Soul Sucker

Yes, I am currently sitting in the library with Jordan and I have definitely done zero work. Good thing I didn't really have much to do in the first place :). She has been pretty successful so far, so that's good! And yes, the libs is a soul sucker. It's just no fun, but if you have to buckle down and finish up work, I guess it's the place to be? (ehhh)

Practice tonight was pretty good. Most of us are feeling pretty beat up, or as Mackensey said "i feel like my joints are being beaten by softball bats" .. or something to that extent :). Probs didn't help that I had the worst stomach cramps EVER, but new subject ...

Tomorrow, both of my classes were cancelled, which is pretty awesome. My group and I have to "mime" in Red Square for 2 minutes tomorrow, at 10:15. We have to "freeze mime" anything that we want, and then write a reflection on how people reacted to us. Pretty awesome class, not gonna lie .. then after I will probably head down to CVS before practice. After practice is weights, and then dinner and The Biggest Loser! I watched the first episode with Meliss, and I'm officially hooked. :)

Pretty excited for this weekend! Christina comes, Nats vs. Braves game on Friday night (with all my girls!), and Homecoming weekend + no practice Thursday, Friday, Saturday OR Sunday. Wow. Did we get lucky or what? Anywho, it's getting late. Night Night. :)

Positives:
1) I finally look like the team.

3) Jammin' to some sweet tunes, currently

Negatives:
1) Sore as hell
2) Stressed

Yep, been here for a full two weeks, and still have the run test looming over my head. Awesome.. ?

Anyway, it feels so great to be back in DC. Oh how I missed it so. First week was basically spent unpacking and worrying about the run test ONLY to have a 101.4 fever the morning of, and have to miss the test. Couldn't even cheer on the team. OH YEAH. was a friggin' awesome day to say the least. The good part was Christina came down for the weekend, as a surprise to everyone but me :) Was awesome to see her .. it felt like she was meant to be here, you know? Didn't feel like she was on vacation .. but now that she's not here anymore I can feel it. I have a lot more free time now that she isn't here .. I wonder if that is a bad thing? My grades will appreciate the effort I now have to bump them up, lol.

Living with (directly) Melissa is fabulous. I love reading her (trashy) magazines .. In Touch and People. Makes me smile. Kara and Jill are great as well. Kara aka "Momma K" aka "Kare Bear" is amazing. She takes care of us, and then some. It's been really great getting to know her better, as well. Of course I've been spending a lot of my time with Mackensey .. one of my best good friends (Forrest Gump reference ;) ) .. Also been hanging out with Kristina Mitchell, Jordan Hansen, and others more. Feels really great to have such a core group of amazing people in my life. Really helps to have people that you can count on and talk to.

So, out of 4 possible practices this week .. 2 were rained out. SUCKAGE. Ok ok, yes it was nice to have the days off, but we play in a week!?! My body appreciates the rain though .. sore like whoa. On a better note, SENIOR DISORIENTATION started last night. It was pretty awesome. I love my friends. Hung out with different groups at the Glowstick/Keg Party on the Leavey Esplanade, and then ended up at Tombs with Sammie + her friends! I got a Low Country Tea drink, and Sammie got a Coke + Rum. Then this older guy bought the "pretty ladies" each a shot .. it was a Woo Woo. Pretty awesome :). Crashed around 1:30 cuz I was dead tired!

Woke up today and ate lunch with Sammie, Jordan, Kristina, and Kathleen. Was splendid. Saw the end of the volleyball game (we won!) .. Just did my laundry and headed to the football game around 6pm, or whenever I get there, lol. Jilly is making soup and it smells fabulous! Mackensey is on her way over soon :). After that, Kristina is having a pre-game to the Adams Morgan trip tonight, so I'll head over there around 9pm. Can't wait :). Wootttt Mac is here .. Peace out.

Been in DC for about a week now, and it's been nothing but stress. I'll actually write something of substance once I can:

a) breathe through my nose again
b) pass my run test
and/or
c) have a drink

gracias.

MACKENSEY .. HURRY UP AND GET TO DC!! :) <33

-Dem

DC, DC, DC, DC .... DC

ahem. 3 full days left in Coral Springs, FL.

Currently watching the Jets vs. Ravens on Monday Night Football. Ravens are killin' it so far. Jets' QBs gotta learn when to throw the ball, and when to take the sack. Throwing too many interceptions so far .. Doesn't really matter .. I'm a Giants fan! WOOP WOOP! tehe.

Been watching Little League baseball lately. Currently watching NY vs. Iowa. Cute kids .. but I always feel bad for the team that loses. I hate to see them so young and crying!!

Can't wait to see all my friends in DC. I MISS EVERYONE!!!!!

<3.

Yesterday the sky looked like a scene from Independence Day

WOOT. Georgetown in 4 days .. WHAT?!?! Muahaha.

These past couple of days have been splendid. Friday, I got my new cell phone! I'm loving it so far .. :). That night, I went to Coach Poynton's house (My HS softball coach) for hamburgers, and a catch up. It was a lot of fun!! I then went straight to Ricky's new apartment for his apt warming party, and met up with Dre and his friend, Dylan. It's an awesome apt .. Congrats, Ricky!! Then, Saturday my momma woke me up and took me to get a pedicure with her and my aunt (Caress). My toes look pretty now, tehe. Let's be honest .. I really don't remember what I did after that, lol. Today, I met up with my parents and Ricki and Peter for breakfast .. then tanned out by the pool. It was absolutely marvelous. Going back to DC with A TAN BABY!!! :). This year I won't be made fun of for living in FL and not getting a tan! haha.

Currently watching The Birdcage .. awesome awesome movie .. and I can sadly quote most of it, lol. ;). I'm outttttt .. <33

4 days. tehe

Christina went bye bye :(

I just dropped Christina off at the airport .. I'm sad :(. The good part is that we had such a great week!

Christina got here at 2pm last Saturday, and we headed back to my house, where my parents had a lil birthday get-together for me. We had friends and family there - including Christina, Melissa, and Stephie (with baby Maddy). It was super super fun and we all got to catch up and hang out. That night, Christina treated CJ to Taco Bell, around 11:30, then we all just hung out and watched TV. Then, Sunday was my mom's birthday, so we all took her to Bahia Cabana restaurant on Ft. Lauderdale beach, and had lunch and some awesome Daquiri's as well. :).

Then on Monday, Christina, CJ, and I went on an airboat ride (I have the crazy sun burn lines to prove it), and it was so amazing. It was a 55 minute long ride, and we even got to see some alligators and stuff! So beautiful!! Then later that night, Melissa came over and we went to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, and Melissa banked, while Christina and I did not have a good gambling night lol. But I think Melissa had slot A.D.D, cuz she kept jumping from machine to machine. It was cute though, lol. She ended up with about $50, which was pretty cool. After that, we all crashed at my place, and got up super early (6:15am), and left for Busch Gardens (Me, Melissa, Christina, CJ, and Jordan). I drove us up, and we got to Kris and Corey's apartment by 11am. We went straight to Mel's for hot dogs (YUM), then into the park. We had so so much fun, and it was awesome to see Kris and Corey, of course!

Wednesday, I had an 8am doctor's appt, then Christina and I watched over my dad's store for a little while until I had an eye doctor appt at 4pm (I can see! woot!). Thennnn, my mom made us Filet Mignon (YUM), and we all went to see Julie & Julia after (minus CJ). I thought the movie was cute, but it didn't really have much of her show, only leading up to it. But I really enjoyed it. Today, Christina and I got burritos for lunch, and Baskin Robbins ice cream before I brought her to the airport. :'-(

Overall, I had a blast this week, and now I have to start getting ready to leave for GEORGETOWNNNN. WHAT!!??!?! ;) .. Until next time ...

7 Days

Disney

Epcot was tons of .. just a very long day!! We got up at 5:30am and were on the road by 6:30. We stopped around 7:30 for some Cracker Barrel breakfast (family traveling tradition) .. and got to Epcot at 10am on the dot. Pretty short ride, which was nice!

We met up with family friends, Art and Karen + their 4 little boys (SO CUTE) .. Kyle - 13 yrs old, Brett- 11 yrs old, Justin- 9 yrs old, and Dean- 6 yrs old. Dean was messing with me all day .. it was adorable. He'd poke me, then run. I'd tickle him, then run. So fun!

Anyway .. we got on all the fun rides and it only rained for about 10-15 mins. We stayed till about 7pm, then headed back to their hotel and hung out by the pool until 10pm, when we left for home! We got home right around midnight and I passed out around 1:30am. It's 1pm now, and I'm actually leaving in 5-10 mins to pick up Christina from the airport!! YAYY! The rain actually held out for her, so thats nice :).

We're having people over later tonight, as a late 21st birthday thing for me / it's my mom's birthday tomorrow! I can't wait! Melissa is coming too! WOOT!!

Bleh.

No softball in the 2016 Olympics? That's slightly like ripping my heart out, putting it in a blender, and hitting grind. I really thought we were gonna get it.

Dearest IOC,

You Suck.
