Dear Amber,
I'm sorry I don't update my blogspot enough to keep you thoroughly amused. I promise my life is interesting, I'm just too busy being studious to update this sucker every other day. I promise to try harder.
Love,
Caitlin
PS Does anyone know what time the rehearsal starts? If I'm the stand in bride, I feel like I should be there to learn how to boogie down the aisle with Uncle Phil...
Dear Everyone else,
After a very eventful weekend in Murray, I have returned to the Green. I went and saw Sorority Row on Friday night, which was a waste of my life, went to my cousin's wedding shower, then proceeded to back cakes and go to work at Rue 21 on Saturday. I was happy to find that exactly NOTHING has changed about the store, so all is well.
Sunday I woke up, went to church, was Elizabeth the puppet and again, then went to work. Somewhere in there I managed to pack up my car, which was not fun in the rain. Luckily, it was only sprinkling when I got back to the dorm, and my friend Jamie helped me unload =)
Additions to the room:
Lamp [I love lamp.] It's in the corner next to my closet, and it makes the room so much brighter its ridiculous.
Shoe shelf has been inserted into my closet. I now have a happy home for my [goes to count] 24 pairs of shoes. I was going insane without them...is that sad? Yes.
7 pair of sweatpants. Ok, those aren't really for the room, but they were $1 a piece and I have an addiction. I bought some for my friends, so I'm not keeping them all. But it's safe to say I can wear a different pair every day of the week...
RUG! It's Claire's old on...but it makes the room much homier. We like it.
Cake. I got to keep all the tops of the cakes from Saturday...sweet action. [Hello freshman 15]
I took a 2 hour power nap today, as my allergies still drain my body of energy, in preparation for the flag football game that got rained out. Sad day.
I'll try to get some pictures up here, I need to get them to my external hard drive first. Hip hip, hooray.
I miss Girl Scout songs.

So we had our first home football game yesterday, and we lost...but after last week it was still a good game. Tailgating was an...experience. Lots of drunk and loud people all over the place, corn hole and the occasional outlawed dog. Surprisingly, I don't have many pictures of tailgating, and really only a few of the game. The past week has absolutely flown by, and I feel like maybe that's how it's going to be from here on out. School during the day, homework when I get done, then hanging out and random wal*mart trips with friends. Go to sleep, wake up and all it all over again. Oh, and football on the weekends =)
I have a 2 page paper due in the morning, and a 3 page on Tuesday, so I'm gonna get on that before I go play with my friends.

Campus is relatively empty for the long weekend, which is AWESOME because now I have a fantastic parking spot =)
My classes have been ok so far, nothing too crazy as of yet. My English professor has an incredibly dry sense of humor, so we get along well. I'm going to love that class. I've got 2 or 3 things to do over the break, but nothing too bad. One of those things is laundry, my oh my.
Our first football game is today, at UT. It's a shame I have friends there, because now I"ll never hear the end of it. Great.
Around 7 last night, the small group of us that are left on campus decided it was time for a small scale road trip. The first thought was Lexington, which we decided against because it was too far away for 7 at night. So, we ended up in Nashville.
In small, easy to read steps, this is how the night went:
1.) Go to Hardee's and get food because Kelsey and Caitlin are STARVING. Boys get out of backseat and go pee together...from the drive through.
2.) Wait 10 minutes on fries while singing karaoke in the car.
3.) Get gas and eat food in the car. More karaoke.
4.) My first adventure in the parking garage to get Mitchell's Tom Tom, named Jane. She's a jerk.
5.) Go down the scary spiral thing to get out of the parking garage =(
6.) Go to Nashville with very loud karaoke the WHOLE TIME. Lots of complaints from the backseat about music choice. Stupid boys.
7.) Eat at Chili's on Broadway/West End. White chocolate molten cake = amazing.
8.) Travel down the road, pass Centennial Park, decide to take a quick detour to Greece.
9.) Play on the lawn of the Parthenon, take pictures, spin and circles and fall in the grass.
10.) Adventure downtown and fight traffic.
11.) Find a parking spot!
12.) Find a different parking spot that doesn't cost $15.
13.) Walk around downtown and play in various fountains and watch a Michael Jackson dancer. Ask if Hooter's is hiring.
14.) They are.
15.) Go find Cafe Coco, a 24/7 coffee shop that our friend Dakota told us about.
16.) Text Dakota to rub it in her face/thank her for the recommendation.
17.) Wait for Dakota to arrive at Cafe Coco.
18.) Watch Chris fall asleep and decide it's time to head home.
19.) Drive back to BG, actually doing the speed limit. But still singing karaoke. Thank you, caffeine.
20.) Tell the boys goodnight and make sure they all arrive safely before falling asleep in Kelsey's room since her roomie is gone, too.
Those are all pictures from the night, from Mitchell Ice's phone. He's from Ohio and says stuff weird.

Ok, fail. I had a video that I thought I posted last week that never showed up.
The long and short of it is that I'm surviving. I absolutely love this campus, and my classes aren't too bad. I didn't realize how expensive all these dang books are, but it's not really my money anyway =)
We've started a nice little Monday Night Movie ritual, along with Wacky Pajama Wednesdays =) I really do have friends! I only have one new class tomorrow, and it's my intro to photojournalism class, so I couldn't be more excited. My professor is supposed to be REALLY cool, according to one of the guys in my media writing class. I knocked down one of my magnetic picture frames today and it cut my shin. NOT cool.
I need to do laundry. Yuck. They're doing room inspections today. I left my breakfast in the room today, which was very very sad, but we're about to go eat a early supper =)
I'M READY FOR MY POSTERS TO BE HERE! I ordered an obnoxious monetary amount of posters from wal*mart. They're all pictures of Hawaii, so of course I'm twice as excited.
I'm ready for tomorrow night, too. Right after church I have a meeting with the pj lab guy, well, all the pj majors do. I get to meet all the other kids like me!
