Since I kinda want to get these pictures off of my camera, this post shall be crazy.
The roommate’s feet after walking 1.5 mi on “city” streets.
Here’s bootsie and nibbles meeting each other. It’s quite a story. We were like 95% sure nibbles was pregnant. She had been acting like she was nesting and bit people when they reached into her cage. Plus her belly seemed a bit big. Well, she was just in heat. It’s was quite interesting when we put them together. Nibbles was like, come on, I hope you’re a boy.
Nibbles got hungry.
Saw this on my way to class today. (it’s TMNT by the way)
Me in 1974. Thanks to yearbookyourself.com
Went to the Rec today. First time ever. Pretty fun. I worked out on the rowing machine. It had a good view of the basketball courts where there was a pick up game of shirts v. skins. The ergs (rowing machines) were in the midst of some weight lifting machines= lots of boys. It was funny, I could see them watching me in the glass (it’s reflective ya know). Eventually one of them got on another erg and promptly decided (20 sec later) that it wasn’t the exercise for him.
News on the tallness front- has to do with the above paragraph. When I stood up, you could tell some of them were shocked at how tall I was. And at dinner, someone (RIGHT next to me) was like “wow, tall people”. Am I another species??
Going home on friday. Right after class. Got a list of things to do. It’s like 2 pages long. Includes: things to bring, take, and buy.
And Tiger Balm officially smells better than Icy Hot.

I know all of you fellow bloggers love to look at the stats page for your blog. It is most definitely the most fun part of my day. Not really. Anyways… I find it entertaining to see what people search to find my page. For the most part it’s just randomness (’cause that’s how I roll, yo) and every once in a while you get a “tall girl, big butt” or something even more obscene having to do with butt’s. Ok, but today something caught my eye and made me laugh. Not just giggle, but honestly, truely laugh (since it’s one of my goals, home skillet… ok, gotta stop talking gangsta) Look at the last item on the following graphic:
Now, what information were they trying to find? Just answer me that.
Subject change! I have this narsty blister on the back of my heel. It keeps growing. It started yesturday when my sock came off the back of my heel in chem lab (wearing tennies) and got worse today during “work”. And i keep finding brownie pieces in my bed. (By the way, I’m working on a food journal project of sorts. It’ll be done in about a week. It should be intersting to analyze. You’ll be able to see how much I can eat to maintain)
Ok and one last thing. No pic for this one. I’m too exhausted. Gatorade: Carbohydrate Energy Formula. Calories:320. Carbs: 79g. Sugars 43g.
Battery- almost dead. good bye.

Maybe I won’t make you take care of my rat after all, mom. Thanks for all the cool stuff! :
Now our vanity/ sink area glows of purple and bats. Go Halloween! It’s funny, I was looking at buying somthing like this last week.
Because of you I can cross “gum” off my list!
And who doesn’t love brownies? These are yummy. I think the roommate is my going to be my best friend now, lol.
Time to go finish my laundry. As in pull it out of the washer and put it into the dryer for like 10 minutes.
EDITED TO ADD:
Next time could you send me something along the lines of this?

This is Bootsie. She is my new baby. But she’s actually a rat.
Ok… let me back up a bit here. You’re probably wondering whats going on. This weekend I went home with my roomate. One of the things we decided on was to buy rats while we were in town (her town is actually a metropolis of 50k, but still larger than our little college town).
Anyways, on saturday we made our 1st trip to PetCo. Rats, cage, food, etc: check. Come home. My baby is sluggish and coughing up blood. Trip to PetCo #2: told to go to the vet (free of charge- but we soon find out they’re closed). 3rd visit to PetCo: get meds for the baby rat.
Then we go see the Producers at the community theater: it was super cute. A bit more sexual than I was expecting, but then again it’s a Gene Wilder thing.
Sunday we go to church, then PetCo and get a bigger cage (for the 2 of them, once mine is healthy) Did I mention we got 2?? Here is B’s: Dr. Nibbles (she bites. and the name sounds, um different, is you say it 5x fast)
And here’s us coming home:
Ok. So now they’re all moved in an everything. I look at my wall o’ stuff and see this. I guess i’m running a 5k next sunday? Probably should have started running again sooner than today. Probably should go work on that.
And I thought I’d add that my mom is just loving the idea of having a rodent in her house come Christmas and Summer. Oh and mom, what if I go on a trip while bootsie’s still around? Will you take care of/ hold her for me? 
Did I post anything yesturday? Did I laugh yesturday? Did I enjoy classes yesturday? Did I feel accomplished yesturday? Did I break a good, can hardly catch my breath sweat while working out yesturday? Really, did I actually live my life yesturday?
I feel like I have gotten so far away from who I actually am. It’s a tricky thing to explain, but I can try. My life has been taken over. Taken over by… life? By change? It’s about time to take it back.
It’s time to start getting back to the blogosphere (because I really miss reading what ya’ll are saying) It’s time to find a reason to laugh every single day, hopefully several times a day. It’s time to start enjoying even the tedious things about classes, because I have at least 3.8 more years of this. It’s time to start doing something with my time. My Tuesdays and Thursdays need more structure (since I don’t have class). It’s time to start running several time a week (until things kick into high gear at work). It’s time to start eating normally- like I would eat at home, sorta. (Eating at the dining center is starting to drive me nuts.) It’s time to start getting things back to normal.
If you were to really know me, you’d know that change kinda makes me crazy. I thought that I had been doing pretty good, up until last night after chem lab. I realized that I’m just going through the motions, not really accomplishing the things that I should be.
I’m not quite sure how to finish this up… But I guess this is my personal mission statement for the next month. So on Thursday, October 16th, ask me how i’m doing with it, ok?

I just saw gym boy. Oh my goodness. Like, he lives. He does go here. Ha! I tlold you so.
I’m pretty sure people think I’m crazy now- but my love for him cannot be suppressed.
Now I need to go study before the library people find me. GYM BOY IS HERE!!!

I’m not going to the rec today. I believe that I have good reason, too.
- I am on the tail end of a nasty cold
- My cough from that sounds… interesting
- I am sneezing up “things”
- Work was tough today
- And despite the fact that I took a nap this morning, I am still tired
- I have reading I should do
- I have reading I want to do
- My knees are sore… maybe not
- The only spin class they have interferes with 2-3 things I have to do tonight
Oh man, I couldn’t get to 10 reasons. Bah- still not going. But wanna know what #9 is about?? Yeah you do. We have our weekly floor dinner tonight, 5:30. I have campus ministry to go to tonight 7pm. And then I get to go to the library and study (with friends).
Maybe library boy will be there tonight. And yes, I know his name. It may or may not be like gym boy, who i still haven’t seen! There are many ___ boys around here:
- Surfer boy
- Elevator boy
- Track Boy
- __________ Baseball Boy*
- Football Boy
- Tall boy
- Chemistry Boy
- Cute Best Buy Boy
- Breakfast Boy
Numbers 2, 4 and 9 (elevator, football, and breakfast) are not quite as significant in my life as the others, but still important.
*I can’t say the first part because I think that it would be too revealing of who he is- but there are the same number of spaces as there are letters, so feel free to guess.

So the Chem test really wasn’t that bad. I only missed a couple questions (some because I was stupid/ should have known better and one because of phrasing) AND raised my grade in there by 30%. I think it’s a pretty good day. And my TA for lab knows my name. I don’t know how many labs he conducts but I’m sure it’s a lot. Just letting you know mom and dad, that probably the closest I will get to my professor knowing my name, except for in Spanish.
Which speaking of Spanish… I found out today that I get to give an 8 minute speech on Oct 31st. Yahoo! Now not only will I be able to say that I stumble through long speeches in my native tongue, but also in my not so 2nd language.
Actually I’m kind of excited about it; challenges can be great learning tools sometimes, ya know. I’m also excited about going to the rec tomorrow( a new challenge). Or at least that’s the plan. I haven’t been yet, although I probably should be going. My shin splints are pretty much gone now I think, and I’m dying to run (on a track mind you, not cross country!), or take a spinning class! (for $3…) Hey some girls are willing to spend that on coffee whereas I am willing to spending it on exercise. Yeah, that makes me feel like a good person inside.
Plus going to the rec gives me an opportunity to ride my bike… which I kinda haven’t done yet. My excuses: I wanted to familiarize myself with the campus first and all my classes are within 10 minutes walking distance and smack dab in the middle of campus= tons of traffic, both pedestrians and cars. The rec is kinda sorta off to the side of everything. If I time it right (as in not during passing period) I should get the road to myself. Heck yes.
How I loathe thee. You are the reason why I don’t want to be in college forever. The reason why I’m going to take more hours next semester so I can get outta here faster. The reason for me want to switch majors (from microbiology to… nutrition/exercise science??) The reason why I dread sitting in that lecture hall- with 217 others.
Ok. I’ll stop talking to concepts of knowledge now and come back to reality. It’s just that I have my 1st chem test in 3 hours 347 minutes. I kinda want a good grade on this test. But I’m stressed. And I need to go review my notes (because I totally studied like all afternoon yesturday- and went to bed at 9:30?? earlier than ever)
