I woke up this morning around 10:15. I should have gotten up earlier. Kyle came and borrowed my big pot so he could make mashed potatoes. I decided I should get up. I went and checked outside our building to see if anyone was selling onions. They weren't. I decided to go ahead and start the mushrooms. I'm really glad I did because I finished after 11:45.. which is when we were supposed to be there. I used oil, garlic, salt and pepper. They turned out really well. I accidentally cut my finger a little bit when I was cutting the mushrooms. I walked over to the teacher's canteen with the mushrooms and two drinks. I got to the bottom of the stairs in front of my building when Eartha and Zoe came running asking if ... read more

I woke up at about 11:30 and got ready because I was supposed to meet Kyle and go to town to get stuff for today's festivities. I got online, and he said that maybe we wouldn't go because we could find everything here. Then he decided maybe we wouldn't try to make our sweet potato casserole. I agreed, so we went and got some lunch. We went to the Muslim noodle place. He got noodles; I got rice. We ran into everyone today, and they all wanted to tell us "Happy Thanksgiving". We went and got something to drink, and then went back to our apartments to eat. I ate and talked on Skype a little. I decided to take a nap. I've been pretty lazy lately.. I went to sleep about 1:30, and I probably ... read more

Today was a normal day. I got up around noon because I ended up staying up really late last night... and by really late last night, I mean super early this morning. I got up and checked my email, and then I decided to go get something to eat. I went to the crunchy rice place. I got sweet and sour pork because when Kyle and I got it yesterday it was so good that I wanted some more. I got it to go, and I came back to my apartment. On my way back I ran into Dillon and Daley. They said hello and told me they were going to get something out of Dillon's old dorm. I ate, and then I realized I had nothing to drink, so I went to a store on ... read more

Do you have those words that when you begin to type another word, you automatically type it? I do that all the time. Even if I never use the word I automatically type, I still do it. I always want to type "ransom" for "random". When do I ever use the word ransom? You're right.. I don't. Here are some random things for you to look through. And the pictures are random too. They don't go with the blog at all, but I had them to share.. I'm pretty much used to all the split pants and using the bathroom in the street, but I'll tell you what I'm not used to.. and what I hope I will never be. The smell. Man, there are certain spots on campus that I just don't want to walk ... read more

Man, I miss playing softball.. well, let me clarify.. so not to confuse. I miss playing summer league with Rick.. and Todd. Whoa. I haven't thought about Todd in like... I don't know... years. I had a crush on him. My friend Katrina made fun of him in front of his sister at the parents vs. kids game. It wasn't cute. That's the last time I saw him. I made it sound like that's the reason, but it's because I was too old to play after that year. Anyway, this is the change up.. Instead of sending out an email for yesterday, I thought I would blog about it. Hope no one is too thrown off by this. We could all use a little change, I think. Yesterday was a good day.. (A Good Day by ... read more
