Too Busy to Blog, But Must Tell About the Diet Coke Dumps!

So, um, according to my last post it sounded like I'd just be blogging all the time. Well, as you can see, it's October and I'm just getting around to my second post. Life is busy. I'm in Logan at school studying Speech Language Pathology and my life consists of Phonetics homework, Anatomy models, Language, Speech and Hearing Development, and Orientation Videos...it's great! Actually, I'm totally in love with school and am grateful to be in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing. P.S. I just got formally accepted into the undergraduate program...yahoo! Go Aggies!

Here's the story about my Diet Coke dumps. The first week of school was a real treat! I tell you what. It was my first or second day at Utah State and I looked super super cute with my new GAP cropped jacket and everything, so I was having great day and decided to stop by the food place and buy me a Diet Coke with party ice...only the best! Well, I did, filled 'er up to the top and went on my way. A little bit later I decided I had to pee, so going in to the bathroom, I thought to myself "just leave your drink on the counter by the sink, no one will take it in one minute anyway." It's gross to have to take your drink into the bathroom stall, but I ignored that thought and took it with me anyway, I know...way sick. So, when I got up to grab my purse or bag, I guess my elbow, or something brushed my drink and the next thing I heard was the sound of Diet Coke and ice splashing ALL OVER THE BATHROOM FLOOR! Nice, huh? I couldn't believe it. Sticky Diet Coke was running all over the floor, in between the grout in the tile and spreading, fast. I felt so bad and couldn't just leave it to spread everywhere, so out of the stall, I looked around and magically there was a newspaper magazine in one of the other stalls, to help soak it up. Can you believe this? My first day at school and I have a Diet Coke dump. So, with that magazine, I mopped it up the best I could, then just left, still feeling bad about the whole thing.

That's not all...so, that same week, I think on Thursday, I was back at the food court place, fillin' up another drink and somehow it got knocked and while filling up near the top, the whole thing just dumped right over, spilling all over the counter and running down the front, on to the floor. NIIIIIICE! I couldn't believe it. Twice in one week...I was off to a winning start at USU! So, feeling like a total loser, I went up to the Hogi Yogi guy and was like, "Um, I need a mop!" I explained what happened and he said he'd take care of it, so I just filled up another Coke, hung on tight this time, and was on my way, laughing inside, almost in disbelief that it happened again. Needless to say, after the Diet Coke dumps during the first week of school, I survived and haven't dumped one since...because I haven't been back there to get one! Ha ha!

Life is great, a little chilly, but great! Thank goodness for Uggs! (which turned my feet black, by the way.) Oh well, I've got my own room, so no one knows about that! :)

Blogger Beginnings

So, it's 8:29 pm on the 24th, Sunday, and I was just checking out my Sister's blog because I already miss her, and found myself creating my own... Weird. I never, ever thought I'd have a blog, mostly because I don't really know how to do it, and have no idea how to put pictures on, either. I just barely found out how to do facebook, and blogging's a whole new world. But, nonetheless, here I am, typing away on my lap top at my new desk in my new apartment in a new city, with new roomates...Yikes! Pretty great though, now I can have someone, or should I say, someTHING to vent to...sweet! Well, here goes nothing, I'm sure I will just blog away!
