Return to starbolt's blog

back to school... back to school...

(I'm feeling dorky)

Here marks the first blog while I'm at school... right now my roommate is being ridiculous... but that's really not that unusual. Right now she's informing me of all the "Punk Goes..." cds. My friend Colleen decided to record us earlier trying to put up Christmas lights under our "cubby" that our desks are in (we call it a cubby because they are under my lofted bed). We were really hyper earlier and we had a lot of outbursts while we were trying to finish decorating our room. I'm going to take pictures of our room because it's amazing. We decided to make the kind of theme for our room tropical because we have a lot of blue and green items. Basically it looks amazing with all of our tropical decorations, plus our good old fish, Cash Money (yeah that's his name, don't ask). We also have this huge Grease movie poster and my roommate got a Harry Potter poster from the movie theatre too which was kind of funny because her mom was making fun of her for it and calling her a nerd and a dork for having it, but whatever, we love it. I was gonna get that poster of the sign in front of Wrigley Field that says "Cubs Win" but my dad got me a Phillies poster and I think he would have been disappointed in me if I had a Cubs poster too (because he has to try and convert me every day of my life). But again, I don't know what he was thinking because Cole Hamels isn't even on it! ... but Chase is so I guess it's okay.

We had our first day of classes today, and oh, big news, one of our basketball players, Trevor Mbawke, decided to quit the basketball team and go back to Minnesota where his family is. I'm really angry about it because he was supposed to be a big part of our front court this year and the coaching staff here spent the entire summer working with him... but last night he up and decided he didn't want to be here anymore... ugh. Who doesn't want to be at Marquette? Seriously? But enough about basketball... I have the schedule from hell but my mondays and fridays aren't so bad because I only have 2 classes those days but on tuesdays and thursdays I have 2 classes in the morning and a night class from 5:45-7, and even worse, wednesdays I have a night class from 5:45-8:25... seriously... no comment. I'd better not miss any basketball games because of it.

Other than that I don't exactly have anything interesting to report. This weekend apparently there's this HUGE Harley Davidson convention/parade in downtown Milwaukee and so there are going to be a ton of bikers all over campus... should be interesting. Also a few weekends from now, me and a group of my friends are going to my friend Elizabeth's boyfriend's soccer game (he's a goalie for a college in Illinois) and we're going to stay down there for the weekend and stay in a hotel and everything so it should be pretty fun. I'm not sure what I'm doing this weekend but hopefully we'll figure something out because this past weekend we really didn't do anything because not that many of my friends have a car at school because it's really inconvenient and we couldn't get our bus passes until this morning. There's a lot to do downtown though so we'll figure something out... I hope. Also I might get a job at this sports bar/bowling alley that's pretty much on campus. I'm really excited because it's an awesome place... it's all decked out with marquette paraphernalia and it was rated by Sports Illustrated as one of the "best places to watch a game" in the U.S. Also, I'll be a waitress or a hostess so when it's not busy or I'm on break or something I can watch baseball or whatever sport is in season at the time... I really hope I get to work there!

Okay, wow, I just realized how much I wrote and probably none of it was interesting... oh wellz. When I take pictures I'll upload them and post them on my next blog or in my photos section if y'all want to see...

Peace, Love & Palm Trees-

Emily

Isn't it funny how so many things that develop a cult following later become a symbol of nerdiness? Dungeons and Dragons, Star Trek, and now Harry Potter. But no one's ever called Rocky Horror fans nerds. (Weirdos, perhaps, but not nerds.) ;-)

That job at the sports bar sounds like your kind of job, Emily! Good luck in getting it.

Did you know that my ex-wife was from Milwaukee? I used to spend time there when we visited her parents. My favorite street to hang out on was Downer Street. And I loved going out and getting a custard. We don't have those in Cali.

Your blogs (and vlogs) are never boring, because you express yourself in such an entertaining way. You write just like you talk on video, it's hilarious. =)

None of it was interesting. ;)

Good luck on the job!! Sounds like it could be a cool place to work. I'm looking forward to your blog and photo updates through the school year!!
