Le Disko

Today I am sitting in a place called Rocky's Lounge studying for my last final. I have been here since 9:30 am and I'm scared. If I get an 'A' on the final I get an 'A' in the class if I fail the final I fail the class. I'm having problems spelling in phonetics but other than that I pretty much feel ready.
The Price is Right is on TV here and the person has a chance to win a trip to San Diego...I wanna go :(.
I will be driving home around 2:30 today and staying in Adrian until January 12th! That is all for now it was really lame but what can one do?

And it's been awhile...

So it's been since September that I have blogged on here. Next week is my last week of classes. I have 3 exams and Thursday I will be home for a month. I am definitely looking forward to getting to spend some time with the people I care about. It seems like every weekend I have came home I have been so busy, so it will be nice to have some time. Since September not a lot has changed. I had a really nice Thanksgiving with James' and my family and I just have good feelings about this semester and the next one to come. I have been so happy this school year. I go to school during the week, come home on the weekends and spend time with my boyfriend, friends and family.
This month has been nice so far. I have done decorating at my apartment for Christmas and also helped my sister decorate at her place. I have not finished my shopping yet but I figure once break begins I will have some time to shop.

Secret life of Alicia 22 year old...

I'm doubting anyone reads this but it is nice to write thoughts out. Almost 2 weeks ago, I turned 22. Thursday before my birthday was spent hanging out with my friend Katie at my apartment. We played cards, drank and sang Wicked until our hearts content. Friday night I drove home to Adrian and went out to dinner with my family at Golden Wok. It was a lot of fun and I got a million cards with money so that is always good. Saturday I woke up early and got on a train in Jackson to go to Kalamazoo to visit my boyfriend James. I got there around 10:30. First we went to Qudoba and got burritos. It was pouring down rain the whole weekend. The rest of the time was spent watching movies, playing video games and just spending quality time with each other.
School has been pretty interesting. I am learning more about my favorite subjects (culture, German, geography, and politics. This past weekend I spent a lot of time with my friend Katie we went shopping, to the UT football game (lame), and we went walking at one of Toledo's metro parks. It was amazing it reminded me of parks around home walking with friends all summer.
This weekend my sister is coming to Toledo friday to go out to lunch and shopping with me. After shopping, I will be going home to Adrian to celebrate James' 23 birthday on the 28th. I hope to spend a lot of time with him and I miss my family even though it's only been like 2 weeks.

New at this but hopefully it will only get better from here...

I'm awake...
I went to my first real live auction yesterday. It was exciting bidding on random boxes of ceramic cats and Japanese sake sets. I ended up getting the sake set, a oriental tea pot and an array of cats statues. My friends are going to be scared.Tomorrow technically today will be a day of back-straining work because I decided to also buy a oak wood dresser, a canary yellow desk , and a dark wood dining room table for my apartment all together costing thirty-one dollars which I believe is a steal .
I will be toting all of this jazz to my apartment tomorrow morning. My sister agreed to help move all of the heavy stuff up my three flights of stairs :) she loves me. I believe all of this crap is going to make my black, gold and beige apartment a little more homey.
Currently, I'm listening to the most amazing CD my friend Aimee made for me out of pure thoughtfulness. I'm thinking about how I'm excited for tomorrow but not excited that it will be less than a week until I go back to Toledo. I am going to miss this summer. It was full of days that were amazing, hard, and days that were plain peaceful laziness. This upcoming weekend will be the last "big" event for me before school starts. The German-American festival starts Friday. I hope to have a nice evening there with my boyfriend.
