Dane Cook's Dream Come True

Well, a few of you have heard my story, but I thought I would post it on here for all to read.

Yesterday I went to Jana's house. The trax have become my best friend otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to make this journey often as I do. Well, I was rushed to get out to the stop in front of the Plaza because the train would be arriving in two minutes. I ran to the crosswalk, I had just stuffed in my headphones and was pulling out my phone to text/call someone (I can't quite remember). I looked up and saw that it said I could walk so I started out into the crosswalk not even thinking to check for traffic. Well, I suddenly heard something so I looked up just in time to see a large white SUV coming. It is a good thing I saw it coming. It was going way too fast to stop in time for the very red light. It blew right throught the light. I was lucky I had looked. If I had kept walking I would have stepped right in front of that car and there is no way they could have possibly stopped in time. It was quite the experience to nearly be hit by a car. I don't reccommend it.
Everyone told me there would be lost of new exciting adventures at college... well it was something... maybe not exciting, but it was new and an adventure.

p.s. the Dane Cook reference is to one of his acts where he talks about him finally getting to see someone get hit by a car.

The Secret Life of the American College Student

So what's up? I finally have time to blog again! I thought I would tell you all a little more about my college escapades. This last week was good. I am definitely glad it is over though! The first week of school always stinks. My classes are ok. One of my professors is a little....strange and of course I have her for two of my MWF classes and she is the head of my department. Great. And my Keyboarding teacher seems a little incompetent I don't think he knows how to use a computer really. So class with him ought to be interesting. My speech class is definitely going to be good though...can we say lots of older cute guys? And one of them sat by me Thursday and was whispering to me almost the entire class. We met in the bookstore that morning while we were in line waiting to check out and then we had our first class together. His name is Steve Cannon and he is from Rexburg. He is 24 and an RM. He is really nice and funny and super strong spiritually. He also has offered to take me home anytime he goes home and he goes home almost every weekend. So I just might be taking a lot of trips home... :)



Saturday night we went dancing. There is really nice dance club on 600 South with a strict dress and dance code. It was a ton of fun. We ended up not getting back to our dorm until 1:30 though. My roommate and I decided to leave early and left at 12:30 and went to the nearest Trax station to wait for a train. The schedule says it runs until 130 on Saturday nights... it doesn't. We sat and wait for about 30 minutes when we realized it wasn't coming. So Megan(my roommate) called one of the guys she knew that had a car to come get me and her. Luckily this guy is super sweet and got up and came and got us. We finally got back to the hotel at 130. And we had to be up bright and early to go to regional conference Sunday morning. lucky us.



There are two girls on my floor from Katy, Texas and are really nice girls. One of them has a brother that is going here right now too and is renting a house with a group of guys. So yesterday for Sunday dinner Emily, Kylie, and I went over and made dinner for them. We made spaghetti, and garlic bread, and salad. Oh yeah, and chocolate chip cookies. It was really fun cooking with friends and hanging out with the guys. They were hilarious. We are thinking that we might do this every week and switch of between us and them every Sunday. And there is a cute guy there too but he has a girlfriend. Of course. Darn it all. So yeah.

The Dorm

My life in the the dorm is turning out to be like one giant episode of The Office. I am really starting to like it here. It took some time but I am liking it. In some ways it is more Mean Girls than The Office. We already have a clique. My roommate is the prettiest most popular freshman at the school... and the list goes on. Oh well, it'll be good.

So here is my room. This is the half that has all of my stuff. The bed is so high I have to jump to get up on it.

Here is the other half of my half. Thats my desk in the bottom right corner. The door is to the left and down a mini-hallway.

This is our bathroom. It's pretty small but I like it. There is no storage space under the sink so most of our stuff is on the counter. My roommate brought a little drawer unit to fit under there so luckily we have somewhere for medicine and blow dryers and such.

This is our coat closet. No we do not hang coats in it like you would thing. We hang shoes. (And my sweaters will end up in there as well when it gets cold here.

Thanks for coming over! I had a fun time giving you a tour of my new home away from home.
