homeee!

i finallyy got to go home this weekend. i thought i could make it til fall break, but i was just in the mood to go home and relax. my mom and sister came up saturdya morning for my rugby game, which we ended up losing 10-7. my mom barely watched the game because she hates how intense it is. so after the game i drove home with them. i was so excited on the way back to actually see everyone and actually enjoy being in my boring town.
we got back around 530, and i was mad because my boyfriend was at his mom's house til like 7 so it sucked not being able to see him right away. but when i walked in the house my dog was soo excited to see me, he didnt know what to do with himself. after that we got some chinese food, i was craving it because i hate the chinese in cortland. then my older sister came over and we talked and caught up for a bit. finally my boyfriend came over and i was wayy excited. its been 3 weeks, we're pathetic when it comes to long distance. i mean 3 weeks isnt toooo bad, but it seems liek forever.
we could of went out saturday night, but i really wasnt in the mood to do anything but lay around. so we watched movies and just hung out. i layed around with his dog, xena. i loveeee her. i like her more than my dog haha thats mean. thenn i got to go to sleep in my bed, which i loved. i really dont mind my bed here at school, but everyone loves their own bed at home. sunday morning came fast. me, my mom and my dad went to the deli and got breakfast. my parents do that every sunday before my dad leaves for work. so i made sure i woke up early to go with them becuase my dad is barely ever around. then the rest of the day was just watching foootball, eating homecooked meals, and then i went to the movies with jeremy and saw my best friends girl. i thought it was hilarious because i love dane cook.
then i made my way back tocortland monday afternoon. i dont have classes monday til 425 so its sweet. jeremy and my friend taylor drove up with me, so they can drive my car back. to end such a relaxing and fun weekend iwth my family, i got a freakin ticket on the way back up here. i was so mad. but it was my fault.. i just wanted to be backhere already and after 2 hours of driving, my head wasnt all into driving. i was going 84 in a 65. it was actually more than that, but the cop wrote me a ticket for 84, i wont say the real speed cuz its just embarassing and it taught me to actually pay attention to driving. ha. so yeahhh. now im back at school and cant wait to go back home for fall break! :)

procastinating.

i reallllyy cannot get into doing work this year. its bad. i have time to do my homework, but when i do i just want to relax and when i sit down, then im down for good. im hoping its because its sort of still the beginning, but we're 4 weeks into this semester so i need to give up on that.
right now i should be doing chapter 4 for cpn and printing out things about my research topic but im not in the mood to read right now. and im sitting in the common room so i cant print out anything from where i am. i sound liek a complete bum right now haha. oh welllll, probably because i am.
i guess i could talk about the flag football game i went to tonight. since i decided to procastinate earlier too, i went to my friends game. its always fun to watch guys get so serious about an intramural game, but i know, all guys are like that. they signed up for highly competitive and the team they played meant to sign up for rec. so it was a complete blowout. my guy friends had it so easy for their first game. i actually felt bad for the other team because they were new at it and were trying hard. towards the end they started to laugh it off so i felt a little better. so yeah my chicos ended up winning 28-12 because they like gave up at the end. while other teams were starting to show up, one guy had the cutesttt dog. he let us hold it and it sat on my lap :) it was a pitbull with mixed colors in it. it made me miss my dog and i cant waitttt to go home saturday to see it! k i guess i'll start my work nowww :(

food

so im already really sick of the food here. everyday it takes me forever to decide what i want to eat. last night thank god we went to the rugby house and we made spaghetti and meatballs, i was in heaven. i think ive eaten subway a million times already, dragon im just never in the mood to go to, hilltop is soo far away, and raquette is open for dinner. so mainly i live on ice cream and subway and thats just not a good diet to be on! thank god i dont gain weight easily or else i'd be huge. im obsessed with ice cream, my mom yells at me on the phone like every night to tell me not to eat it but i usually already have. my freezer has to go cups in there, and after practice we usually head over there so i cant turn it down!
anyway, my mom is coming up for my game on saturday and i might go back with her just so ican get some homecooked meals. my boyfriend offered to drive me back monday because i only have class at 425. so why not take the offer? so yeah, im pumped and now im looking forward to going home :) its only been like 4 weeks, im not homesick but it will be veryyy nicee!

decisions, decisions.

i dont think ive ever been so undecided before. i really really hate how we have to sign leases now for a house next year. like what if something happens before the year ends, now we're stuck with the people for a whole another year. then i dont know whats easier, living off campus or just staying in the dorm for junior year. i mean the dorm is close to everything, but a house? who wouldnt love to have your own space, and do what you want. the only thing im worried about is having to actually be responsible and do things on my own which i dont know if im ready for.
i have three options which is the sucky part. first, i can get a quad for 3 girls im friends with. second, me and one friend, who i would be in the quad with , couuld live in the rugby house on tompkins. third, i can live with my suitemates now on groton. i have NO idea what i want, at all. so if anyone lives off campus now, give me some thoughts and ideas.. do you like it? is it easier than in a dorm?

rugby

on saturday we had our first scrimmage, and i finally understand the game now. i never thought you actually had to play the game to know how it is, i couldnt understand why they couldnt just teach us it. so the people who have played last year started, and all the rookies played the second half. suprisingly, we werent that bad. we caught on very quickly and played the ball well.

before the game, we were stretching and they said make sure you stretch your neck out and stretch everything really good. and wow did that barely help, i cant explain how sore i was the next day. during the game, i didnt think i got hurt that bad or would be that sore.. i noticed some bruises on my legs after though. but you dont notice anything til the next day. i didnt even want to get out of bed it was so bad. my neck felt like he had 15 knots in it, my back had knots and my legs were just so sore. the whole day i layed around in my room hoping it would just go away after taking some motrin. it got better as the day went on.

after playing in a game, i feel great playing the sport. barely anyone knows what its about or has seen a game. its cool doing somethign different than everyone else even though its as intense as it is. im most excited because my mom and sisters are coming up next weekend for our home game and ihavent seen anyone from home in awhileee! so i cant wait :)

september 20th- first home gameee!! :)

nightclerking

while at cortland, i nightclerk in cheney hall. i requested it because i lived there last year and the people were awesome but now i wish i wasn't working in there. i live in smith and the walk sucksss. one night the rhd walked me back because its scary by myself but that was only one time... so i've walked it a few times by myself and i really just dont like it. im not scared of the dark but i feel like i hear every little noise around me and i hate it. on the weekends its not bad because we have people to walk back with and talk to.
so yeah, i really dont know if i want to keep working there anymore. another thing is, i heard i only had to do two weekend nights out of the month. it turns out i have to work like 3 saturdays, a thursday and a friday night. how much does that suck!! ugh its so annoying. like its not bad every now and then to stay in a weekend night but im on the rugby team so after a game its just not fun having to work and being so tired. i'll give it this weekend and see where else i can work during the days because i do want extra cash, just a better job! if anyone knows any hookups, let me know!! :)

the hike.

I'd have to say, I'm always bored during the day at cortland, on the weekends. There's no town to walk around or shop in any stores. And if you don't have a car, there's not much to do then. But this weekend was actually fun and busy.

First, on friday, friends from home came up and it's only been a week since we've been here but its always cool to see people from home. So of course we went out friday night, had our fun. And that night my boyfriend said he was going to come visit saturday so i got really excited. It was awesome seeing him but it sucked because he only stayed til sunday afternoon, and saturday night i had to nightclerk and i didn't have enough time to take off considering he told me the night before. But he hung out anyway with the other people who came to visit then hung out with me a bit at work, how nice of him :). Then on sunday they alll went home and I was thinking now its back to being bored. Then my phone rang and a few of us went to teh Syracuse Mall just to waste some time being on campus. It wasn't much but it was something to do, and it was alot better than being stuck in the room or sleeping all day.

Then today, we had the day off for labor day and i planned on catching up on sleep and relaxing but instead I went to ithaca for cliff jumping. My friend nick asked me to go with him and some rugby guys and i love to go off cliffs so i was excited. On the way there, we got a lost a million times, taking wrong turns, not finding roads, but eventually we got there. We wanted to go to the illegal cliffs, hopefully i'm allowed to say that on here but no one had the exact directions for them. We just ended up at the state park, and we got there to hear them say, all the swimming areas were closed because there were no lifeguards. How much does that suck to hear! So we checked out another park, and a guy gave us a little hint saying we could walk around and go in the water and just not get caught. So thats what we did. It ended up being a freaking hike and a half all over the state park and we didn't even go in any water, or jump any cliffs! What i got myself into today, and all i wanted to do was relax. Oh well though, like i said, anything really is better than staying the dorm all day.. and it was an adventure i guess you can say? I got my workout for the weeek! Hopefully i don't wake up sore tomorrow :)
