Echoes of An Empire

So I guess I owe everyone a blog post. Everything has been crazy busy lately between getting all of the work done for my classes and keeping up with everyone at home/away.

I will say that M, E, and I went out to eat yesterday at Ruby Tuesdays and I was overjoyed to be eating *real* food. It was amazing. M asked specifically for a guy waiter (embarrassing) so we had a waiter named L. Being who we are, we had to talk to him... that's just how we roll. We saw Transformers 2 last night (it was my third time... sheesh).

Tonight we saw a documentary called Food, Inc. about food production. Don't think I'm going to be eating burgers for a while...

I got fourteen hours of sleep last night. M, E, and I watched The Vampire Diaries for a little while and then I crashed. It was pretty epic. I'm still so very, very tired.

In the morning, E and I are going with M to her Quaker Meeting House. I really, really liked it there the other week. I didn't think I'd be able to sit in silence for a whole hour, but it really wasn't that bad. Like, I got to think about some really deep stuff that I usually don't have time for. I thought about how much I missed my friends from home, especially R. But then it hit me that maybe it wasn't my friends that I was missing, but their familiarity. I knew almost everyone back home. Here, I know a bare handful of people. I know that this is going to change with time, but familiarity is so comforting, it's hard not to miss it.

I'm so excited about coming home for the weekend. It's going to be amazing. :)

Such Great Heights

So I've got a four to seven page story due Tuesday for Creative Writing and I've got nothing. Absolutely nothing. The only thing I feel like writing right now is Min and Alex's story, but I can't turn that in for a grade. One, because I didn't specifically write it for this class and that's against the rules. Two, it's over sixty pages long. It always really sucks when you're stuck and can't move forward.

C and J came down on Friday. We had so much fun. Like... This weekend has been the most amazing three days of my life (despite the fact that they left to go home this morning). I'm actually kinda bummed right now. I'm gonna miss him :( But hopefully three weeks will go by more quickly than I feel like they will.

...

I've gotta get back to this story. I've never had such a hard time writing before. Ugh.

Hold on Tight

So last night was the most amazing night ever. I wasn't quite sure how it was going to work out, since everything was set up to be so very awkward. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't.

E's mom picked us up from the dorm and we drove in traffic for two hours. Much fun there. I started writing my Cinderella story from the point of view of Anastasia, one of the wicked step-sisters. But I only have to write two pages, so I'm like, *cringe*. Only two pages.... *sigh* that's going to make an incredible story though...

Anyway, when we pulled up, C and J were driving past E's road coming to pick me up, and E totally called it. "Wouldn't it be funny, if like, when we turn into the road, they were turning into the road, too?" They missed the road, but they were there.

We ended up going to Chick-fil-e and then to this crazy-awesome bamboo forest where there was this old dilapidated house and some crazy old cars. It was the sketchiest thing I think I've ever seen. After that we rented Penelope and went back to Eve's house to watch. That is like, the most amazing movie ever. After the movie we went to this park where there were giant rocks for climbing and whatnot, so we climbed onto them and watched the stars. It was a good night :)

Things are getting pretty insane overall. I'm so content to just sit back and watch it all unravel.
