Guess who?

Hey, this is Emily....Jenn has given me the wonderful privedge of blogging. So what should I talk about? Well, me, Jenn, Tami, and Nicole are going shopping to the Gettysburg Outlets, yay!!! We'll see how much we'll buy....Columbus Day sales!

Brrrrrrrrr

Brrrr, It was cold today!
Foolish Jenn went outside, scavenging for leaves that turned out to be dripping wet. They are for the kids that I teach Sunday School tomorrow to rub crayons over and get the imprint of the veins and such. While outside, the rain and wind weren't the most pleasant companions since I happened to be wearing shorts. But then of course, I hit golf balls outside too. Not a good idea. But I guess once you are out there it ain't so bad after all. I miss the warm weather.
Boo hoo, Mr. Frosty is headed our way.

"Soy una refrigerador"

Just talking to a friend on Wednesday about stupid stuff that happens when you try to speak a foreign language because we had our oral exams this week, where you go in and just talk one on one with the prof, and hope you use the right conjugation of verbs. I think I did pretty well actually, although I was really nervous.

We were laughing about my favorite quote ever: In high school Señor had tests where we had to make up our own sentences for vocab words but the hopelessly Spanish challenged Emily W. didn't know what a certain word was so she inadvertently wrote...

"I am a refrigerator" Bah ha hahahahah. I love it. It is just too great.

Flirting

So Tami came up with the most profound way of letting someone know that you are interested in them. Let me share her theory with you.

First you bring up the subject of high school. Then you talk about how you liked to flirt with your teachers, and then you use that a headway to talk about how you have been flirting with them for the past forever.

Talk about profound, that would definatly not scare the guys away. (And I didn't flirt with my teachers, it was only a misunderstanding.) Tami really knows how to trick guys into wearing the pants!

pictureless

Blogs are always better with pictures, but to tell the truth, I haven't really taken any of late. I took some of our service learning class for a presentation, but they aren't aren't exactely "fun" photos. Sorry that I am pictureless.

This week I have/had tons of meeting meetings meetings. Soon it will be fall break and hopefully I get caught up with work that I am behind on. So that is a relief.

Just to vent: Who calls their professor on a Saturday night? Is it ok for a friend to get upset with you, because you refuse to do such a thing? I offered to call the next afternoon. Geez, plus he was on VACATION. I'm sure he didn't want to be bothered.

But on another note, I am so excited to go to South Dakota for the service learning conference. I think it will be a lot of fun, and hopefully we can get full funding from the honors program. Oh, and I really want to see Mt. Rushmore which is only like 30 minutes aways, and we are talking about maybe visiting an Indian Reservation. Goody, goody, I can't wait!

flights and hotels.

So does anyone know any websites where I can get the cheapest international airline tickets? And how about a cheap hotel in NYC, without rodents and roaches crawling around? I need to book a flight and a hotel within the next week, so if you are stopping by and have suggestions of where to look, please let me know. I need cheap!

sleepy

I am sooo tired but I know if take a nap now (7:00AM) I will never wake back up in an hour for class. I woke up at 4:30 this morning to finish the 33 drawings due in our sketchbook in addition to the two large ink washes for today. I got a grand total of 3 hours of sleep, and if have draw another thing today I'm going to keel over.
Last night I played mini golf with my grandparents and my sister and her husband. We picked the wrong night, it was freezing! And Tara wore little strappy shoes with her toes sticking out, brrrr, the thought gives me the chills, literally.

Mosaic-ing the bathroom floor

Pretty. oh so pretty. My floor it is.

I am finally done! After a little bribery from my dad, I eventually got it done. It looks gorgeous. Broken tiles + mortar + blue grout + silicon coat + painted side boards + hours and hours = the best bathroom floor ever. I took the stir stick from the grout to Lowes and they were able to scan the color into their computer and get me blue paint that matches perfectly. I am quite impressed. I'm glad it was a small bathroom. Mom said I can do the purple bathroom next. HAHAHAHA that would take a lifetime.
