Please don't hit me

Dear bikers, skateboarders, long boarders, scooter-ers, unicyclers, golf carts, trucks and any other type of wheeled mechanism that I may need to look out for,

I do realize that you are going faster than me, and may or may not be in a hurry, but please slow down. Especially when there are a million people around you that are scrambling not to get in your way. Or use the bike path. That would be great too. It's not the biggest comfort when someone comes hauling past you on a skateboard, barely missing taking you out, and then a mere 15 feet away totally eat it. In return, I solemnly swear to stay off the side they specifically designate for quick movers like yourselves.

Sincerely, that poor pedestrian that actually has to WALK to get to class.

(Anyone that does participate in any of the modes of transport explained above that happen to read this blog, don't take offense. We still love you :) )

Monthiversary

It's true. We have officially been living outside of the parentals care for one month exactly. These past 31 days have felt like months already though. It's really weird thinking it has only been one...

Update on the (Sassy) Sage Point Panther (Pup)s: We lost 2-1, but we put up a great fight! Considering only a select few of us really have any soccer experience, the team we were playing all had cleats (with shoelaces - you're welcome Sam) and intense soccer moves, and it was POURING rain, we did phenomenal! Here are a few snapshots of the event:

College=Free T-Shirts

My first exam was a relative success. It definitely helped ease my qualms. I got some time with the fam this weekend which was awesome. It's funny the things that you miss, like the smell of the hand soap in the bathroom and the stickers on my dresser. But mostly I miss waking my mom up in the middle of the night trying to explain why it was SO imperative that I missed my curfew. Ha. Wait... Anyway, I have gotten a total of 4 free t-shirts since I've gotten here. Awesome. Pictures are worth a thousand words so here you go...

Since shaving in the shower is freaking impossible....

My "room." Messy as always.

SCOOTER RACES! Objective: ride to the other side of the hall, knock on some people's door three times, turn around and come back, without running into any walls or totally biffing it.

It's definitely harder than it sounds.

Her awesome thank you note.

Homework, Homework, Homework.

Ben... No words.

An unexpected visit from Uncle Bryan. Showing off his mad guitar skills.

Felicidad.

Dream Big

Week two down. I'm sick. Go figure, right? But Niquil and Dayquil to the rescue and I'm well enough for class. I have my first physics exam this Friday so wish me luck with that. I've been studying a lot so I feel pretty prepared. I don't feel like college is as hard as everyone made it out to be. But maybe I'll change my mind after this test. Or maybe I just spend a lot more time doing homework. Yep, I'm pretty sure that's it. Right now I am in the lead of our "let's see how many times we hit our heads on the freaking bunkbed" competition. 9 to 6. I'm kicking butt. Our intermural team has been signed up and we've practiced a little. Watch out world, the Sage Point Panther Pups (you're welcome, Mark) are going to be the best all freshman team you have ever seen. Well probably not, but dream big, right?

It may look like we're having fun, but I promise I'm actually doing homework, Mom. :]

Everyone all dressed up for the President's Reception. I was too cool for school and went home for dinner instead.

We play cards. A lot. Loser in particular. 

Basically, I rock at it. 

Try and beat me, I dare you.

Ab workout. Clearly their form isn't up to par.
