What might be the best part of college...
In the fifth grade, my mom did a heartbreaking thing and got rid of our cable television. I still remember the day when I came home from school and tried to watch Full House, but all I found was static. Since then, I've been able to go over to my freinds' houses and watch the most ridiculous things and be entertained forever. (16 and Pregnant, Spongebob Squarepants, Hannah Montana, etc.) For the first time in 7 years, I'm reunited with my own cable television. Today, everything that I've done has been accompanied by the Food Network. Even at the gym, each machine has a tv attached to it, so I ran to the Food Network. And when there weren't any bikes left with a tv attached to it, I came back and watched tv here. (I promise than when I start studying, I will turn the tv off.) I can't remember the last time I actually cooked something, but hopefully the 4+ hours that I've watched today will contribute to my duties of being a mother one day.

The pumpkin patch
Today Seth and I wanted to go to the pumpkin patch, so we drove there after church. The pumpkin patch was so far away! My gps first said 32 minutes, but with a few wrong turns, it took over 40 minutes. It was in the boonies in the middle of nowhere. We got there, and guess what. CLOSED. So we went to plan B.
We went to Haggen's and played "Pumpkin Patch." First, we picked out our pumpkins from a selection of about 20 pumpkins. The fewer the choices, the easier the decision! At first we were bummed out that we were at the Haggen "pumpkin patch" and not the real pumpkin patch because everyone talked about how good the doughnuts were and how the hay ride was soooo fun. But then we realized that the Haggen pumpkin patch offered the same incentives. Seth and I got bagels. That's actually better than doughnuts because they're much healthier. Second, we didn't need no hay ride. Seth and I took turns giving each other rides on the shopping cart around the store.
We came back and carved pumpkin, drank hot cider, and watched the not so Halloween movie, A Beautiful Mind.

Things I'd rather be doing right now.
I have a geology test tomorrow and I have my work cut out for me for the night. Seth and I have a strict schedule until midnight to get our studying done. As you can guess, we're having trouble getting started. Here is a list of things that we'd rather be doing. (activities aren't limited to this list.
1. Eating ice cream
2. Watching the weather channel
3. watching paint dry
4. Sewing an american flag.
5. knitting a sweater
6. Shopping at Big Lots
7. Eating stale animal crackers
8. Watch reruns of Conan O'Brian
9. Get shots.
10. write a blog
I complain about geology a lot, but I never do anything about it, so I guess we'll study now.

I've called 911 four times today.
Let me tell you about my crazy night. Last April in Journalism class, I bought tickets for Seth and I to go to a John Mark McMillan/David Crowder concert in Seattle tonight. Of course the one day that I REALLY needed to go somewhere, my car wouldn't start. No big deal, I called campus security (911 call #1) and they came and jumped my car. It started. No big deal. Just my luck, Security drove off and literally 30 seconds later it died again. It was embarrassing having to call security to come back, but I was determined to see John Mark tonight! (911 call #2)
We made it to Seattle. We drove into the parking garage, turned the car off, tried to start it again, and it wouldn't start. Cool! I called my dad. He saved the day.
The concert was super fun. I should have more to say, but I haven't even gotten to the good part yet.
Seth and I were driving back to campus, probably less than 15 miles away from Bellingham, and this car started tale gating us like crazy. Then he got in front of us and started swerving like crazy. I tried to call 911. (Call #3) He then sped up to probably 100 miles per hour, and was swerving back between the two lanes. My phone was still on, but less than 5% battery and every time I tried to call 911, it hung up on me. Apparently nearly dead phones don't make 911 calls. We watched the car as it swerved back in forth going sooo fast and we couldn't even do anything. The car got up to another car and it looked liked he slammed into her, hit the guard rail, spun out right in front of her. Both cars pulled over and then the crazy car sped off. We talked to the other car. He actually didn't hit her, but she was really freaked out and her phone was dead too! We were trying to drive back to campus as fast as we could so we could call the car in. We pulled off the freeway, and there was a state patrol that had just pulled another car over. Both us and the other car drove up to him and told him. We felt like heroes and it was definitely the excitement of the night.
Also, I haven't blogged in a week. That's because there's nothing to blog about. I made an idea list. It went like this.
1. Geology- I still hate it.
2. The weather- It's still rainy
3. The ice cream- I still eat it
Hopefully I can get out more and see more crazy people and then I will have lots to blog about.

avoiding geology...
Currently I am completely 110% avoiding homework. I really, really hate geology. I hate rocks. I hate volcanoes. I hate earthquakes and I REALLY hate tectonic plates. But, I just thought I might share this lovely photograph with you. I only look a little miserable.

Some things are the same everyday in college...
I'm starting to feel like I'm stuck in the movie Groundhog's Day, around here. There are things that just won't change. For example:
1. Everyday my math professor wears this horrid green vest that makes her look like she belongs at the cash register at Top Foods
2. My Greek Prof wears the same black turtle neck/khaki dress coat/jeans EVERY day.
3. The dining hall got a new soft serve ice cream machine last week. Ice cream is guaranteed everyday after every meal that I consume in the dining hall.
4. Everyday, I am guaranteed to complain about how sick I'm feeling on the walk back from eating because ice cream sets me over everyday.
5. Everyday I check my mail every time I walk by my mailbox, seven days a week, even Sunday.Send me mail ;)

Luckily, with all this change, I'm getting some consistency, making this transition to college a little bit easier.

College is a time be rebellious!
As mentioned a few posts ago, my mom dropped me off with only a few rules.
Rule #1: NO TATTOOS.
I however, believe that right now is the prime time for that. Apparently Seth does too. He couldn't even wait two whole days before he was getting his first tattoo. Don't worry, I didn't go quite that route. (I have managed to pick up any temporary tattoos that I can find around campus and put them on my wrist because I think I'm really funny when I can be JUST like Seth. I also make sure to avoid washing that area so that it can last as long as possible.)
I tried to go with my friend Carly at about 1 o'clock this morning to get my nose pierced, but apparently Bellingham is not like Olympia in that it's tattoo parlors don't have the same hours as the bars. (Dumb move on their part, if you want my opinion.)
But today I'm feeling extra cool because I got my nose pierced. It was fun and I love it and I'm worried because this picture was on the wall with a caption that piercing can be addicting. I'm actually feeling rather inspired.
Today was probably one of my favorite days since being at college. Seth and I went to church. We came back and went to the dining hall and it was closed. (You know you're tired and crabby when you start crying because the dining hall is closed.) Seth and I ended up going into the Fairhaven district and getting lunch with Carly and her roommate Andrea at a really good Thai place. The best part is is that there were left overs! We trotted around Fairhaven for awhile and had the best gellato I've ever had. Plus, MY NOSE IS PIERCED! Soo.... today has been lovely :)
