i'm (almost) famous!

A lot has happened since my last blog - im surprised i even have time to update this.. with my hollywood lifestyle and all.

It all started with my acting debut last week - I believe it was for an Ashford promotional video or some sort of video that they are playing while we are in Vegas. Well, I had 3 lines... I should probably mention that of the select few that were chosen for the video, I didn't see anyone with 3 lines. They obviously saw my talent from the beginning. I might as well claim a spot on http://imdb.com/

Over the weekend I was plagued with a stuffed nose and a smoker's hack... I have recently discovered that this could also be known as a cold. I hate being sick... plus nobody likes listening to a sick person on the phone... what a disaster.

As my blogging continues I am supposed to be focusing on my final paper for class... well we all know my procrastination habbits have not changed. so instead, it might be complete by tomorrow or wednesday. I might blame this sickness on it

Earlier this week, I thought I would become a technical marvel and hook up the internet that I have been paying for to my computer.... Sadly, it was not as easy as it seemed. I guess I have to call mediacom and ask for a code or some bull shit. I am very angry.. and i've had to come home for the last two days just to use the internet. Luckily you all benefit from reading this hilarious blog.


Countdowns:
57 days til Christmas
41 days til Ashford goes to VEGAS!!!!!!!! also the # of days til I am famous!
5 days til Tay and I visit sister

T.G.I.F.

Happy Friday

It’s been forever since I have done updating of any sort… hard to do when I don’t have internet access at my apartment and limited access at work. The week has gone by pretty slow but all in all not too bad.

I’m adjusting to being on my own for now – Jenn basically moved out. She still has ½ of her stuff at the apartment but she hasn’t been there for a week. Still trying to get the apartment cleaned up... I’ve been so focused on being social I haven’t paid attention to laundry and homework.

Can’t wait for Jess to move in, I can tell already we are going to be bad news – well, or good news! We’ve gone out numerous times. Usually to shady Mexican places like La Feria and El Toro – both of which are delish – Special shout out to Jeff for buying drinks last night!

Back to this whole internet thing – I really need to hook it up. Anyone want to help me? That would be great. I miss my connection to the world outside of Iowa

Work has gone very well this week; I hit my goal of 4 applications for the first time in about 2 months. Pretty much an all star (or as close as I can get)

Holla at sister for sending a kick ass thank-you card I loved it
“It was good to see that you can hold up to the reputation that I have set for alcohol consumption combined with complete hilarity” (duh)

In other exciting news, my financial aid disbursement FINALLY came into today. I have to stop by campus and pick it up. Which means I should finally be caught up on most of my bills… maybe have a little extra for savings…

Merri is home for fall break = us spending the night together drinking and catching up on recent events. It also usually involves us creating a special drink for the night. I’m already thinking of some creative ideas. All else fails, there is always margaritas and wine.

I'm Domestic

I know it’s hard to believe… but true. I went back to my apartment last night – after not being there since Thursday morning. I came back to chaos! The apartment was a disaster area.

List of domestic things I did
1) washed dishes – they had been sitting in a sink of water since Friday
2) Folded & hung up laundry that I did at home
3) Took out garbage, all 7 bags – I didn’t notice that the CR left numerous bags of trash out on the deck instead of taking it to the dumpster. Is it really that far of a walk? Still annoyed by this – most of the bags had sat out in the rain for a couple days
4) Cleaned up the kitchen – threw away moldy food. I knew I was smart for never buying groceries – I didn’t have to throw away anything of mine. There’s still some suspicious lunchmeat in the fridge – I’m making CR test it out, she thinks its fine

In other news, I came back to work yesterday to find out that all AU employees received the ipod nano in appreciation of reaching 10,000 students! I’m still figuring it out but very excited that I finally have an ipod which I did not have to pay for it. Although I noticed that the AU logo is engraved on the back… whatev

So as of this weekend, I will be back to living with Jess. So excited to have her back in my life (as a roommate) we really don’t see enough of each other at work! Jenn will be off to the exciting world of Peoria to work in a daycare and live with the boy toy. He bought me a bottle of UV so I can’t complain.

I would also like to point out that Taylor has been working at Ashford for a solid 4 months now = $1000 referral bonus for this girl! Tay, we will go out for drinks! Sister, I might finally have money for a birthday present

Also, tomorrow is sister’s birthday!!! Hope you have a great one! I’m still excited about all the fun pics from the weekend. And yes Jenna, there was a photo booth at the bar – you walked past it every time you went to get a drink!
