Yes, school has started and I'm back on campus with three new roommates. It's been interesting adjusting to new people since I lived with Holly for two years. Andie, the girl I share an actual room with is a friend who is also going to Norway with me. Emily is a friend from the musicals and Lissie, her roommate, is a new friend altogether.
We've been doing pretty well with keeping everything nice and clean except our living room is a bit of a disaster.
It was Andie's 21st birthday on Friday so we all went out to Paradiso and had a grand ol' time. Andie then went on to the bars with the legal 21 year olds of our group and came back in pretty good shape. Saturday, we had a party at Andie's friends house with the usual suspects and had a fun time there too. Although, I think we may have broken the record for adding Bitch onto the end of everything that was said...don't ask me how that started I was not there.
I've added some extra curriculars for this year one of which involves writing for the on-campus newspaper. I'm going to be writing book reviews and possibly tv reviews too. One of my book reviews is actually due very soon. I'm a little worried because I don't write in this style normally but Emily (roommate) is the editor so maybe I'll give it to her first and she can tell me if I suck or not.
This post was not nearly as entertaining as I had hoped. Informative, yes. Entertaining, no. This will teach me to write without eating first!

I wish I were in China....sorta
Who's ready for the Olympics???
I am! And you should be too! Especially since they've already started. I've missed the swimming and gymnastics already though I did get to watch volleyball and rowing (not my favorite). And the opening ceremony was actually cool! Unlike past ceremonies that did not make any sense to me whatsoever (Australia, I'm looking at you.), this opening ceremony had the right amount of whimsy (good word) and artistry that you could still understand the point of everything. The moving boxes were amazing if not scary (there were people inside them!) and the painting thing was cool too.
But now we're ready for the games to begin. Michael Phelps, despite your weird under bite, I'm still in love with you. I hope he wins everything, if only to see him in his swimsuit as often as possible.
Nastia Lukin and Shawn Johnson are my two new favorite people to watch. Shawn Johnson freaks me out a great deal for being so cute and yet being able to do all of those amazing feats without breaking a sweat. Nastia Lukin may not be the favorite (Shawn Johnson is) but she rocks the uneven bars like nobody's business. She did have a slight fall in the qualifiers but I still believe in her. Yay! Olympics!
