On a more serious note....

The other day I decided to skip out on class (we were going to some weirdo play called "Alicia in wonder tierra" I guess it's like a Mexican spin on Alice in wonderland) and went to a guest lecture. I dont know how many of you have heard of Team Hoyt but it's the amazin father/son team that finished the ironman race as well as many other triathalons. The amazing part is that the son in a quadraplegic and the dad has pulled the son through all the rraces. They have a special boat that the dad pulls during the swimming part and a special seat for the biking part. It was just amazing! They were so inspirational! Their motto is to always say I Can...and never add an 't. They do about 22 triathalons a summer and the son (who cants talk or move any of his extremities) is going to college in Boston. Over the past 20 years, they have racked up so many miles in marathons that they have gone around the world about 3-4 times. CRAZY! It just really goes that show that no matter what struggles you have, you can overcome them and do great things. The son says that when he is doding these races, it feels like he doesnt even have a disability. I just thought it was amazing and I wanted to hare some of that with you. Never use your struggles or trials as a crutch. Rather, look at them as a challenge to rise above them no matter what!

The headphones that smelled like B.O.

Yes..it's true. I decided it was time to get a new pair of headphones because my ones that came with my ipod were getting kinda old and gross. So me and my roommate went to wal-mart and picked out some super cute lime green ones. I was way excited and couldn't wait to get them home. I ripped them out of the package as soon as we were home and plugged them in. Suddenly, something started to smell. Now..i'll have you know that no one had done the dishes in a few days so our kitched pretty much smelled rancid anyways because I went on strike as the maid (yeah, thanks Ann! You're great..NOT! I am currently eating pudding with a FORK!) I asked maddie if I smelled bad and she didnt think so. So i took off the headphones and the smell was gone. So I took a big whiff of the headphones and sure enough...they were the culprit! The headphones smelled SUPER bad like B.O. I double checked with other people to make sure it wasn't just me. Nope, it was everyone. The headphones stunk to high heaven. So i took them back to walmart and told the lady at customer service that the headphones smelled like B.O. and she pretty much looked at me like i was crazy but I did get my money back..thank goodness!

The ice cream liar!!!

• Oh hello, it's me again. Just thought I'd blog about an interesting experience that I had today. Well, I pretty much got hosed by a lady. So this week is homecoming week. So the school is doing tons of fun stuff. There is the game, of course. There is also like 3 different dances and movies and best of all..free food. So today, there was supposed to be free aggie ice cream in the International Lounge in the TSC. So me and my friend rushed there after class. If you have ever had aggie ice cream, you'll know why we were rushing. They have a new flavor...Aggie Blue Moose. It's like moose tracks only blue..COOL! So we get to the internation lounge and look all around and there is no ice cream, just the study abroad fair. So we are looking all around and see all these people lined up outside. dang it! So we rush outside and are talking about how it said it was supposed to be in the lounge when the lady in front of us turns around and said 'Sorry! That was my fault!" So my friend Brian says "Would you mind escorting us to the front of the line then?"...because it was HUGE at this point. She said "Sure!", took us to the front and asked us what kind we wanted. We told her Aggie Blue Moose tracks..obviously! So she said she would be right back...then we see her walking away. Yeah, she left. It was all a joke or a lie..depending on which way to choose to look at it. I was ticked. She got us way bad! The line was huge and we didnt want to wait...consequently, I am blogging in the library with an empty stomach.
