Wow three weeks in...time is flying by. So quick update. My roommate Roberto codename Fernando, he likes to poke moving objects with his dick and sometimes pays for it. We actually don't even need to speak in code around him because he doesn't really understand english, so if we talk fast enough we can say anything. For example, last night he walked him and I said Hey there greaseball sweet outfit. And then Anneliese added, did you just get finished having sex with your male counterpart Lorenzo. And he just laughed because that is his default answer to anything he doesn't understand so that was fun. But truely he was wearing skinny girl jeans with hightop shoes and he gelled his hair down and it look so diirrty. His birthday is next Monday so we are debating if we should do anything for him, we asked him if he would take us to dinner on the big day and he said he would think about it :].

Anyways school is absorbing my life. Four classes here is considered overload, 12 credit hours in 10 weeks. I have four sketchbooks only one which i have thus worked on, but my teachers are emphasizing to me that needs to change. We started drawing nude figures in life drawing. His name is Frank he is 60 something, deaf and blind(drew from observation), tattoos everywhere, and BUTT IMPLANTS...oh yea he is a cross-dresser and he tried to show some pictures to a girl in our class of something that our teacher grabbed away real quick and since then we have not seen her anywhere...mysterious. So my design research class, my teacher reminds me of my friend sophia if and only if she decided to do coke for the next 20 years. she is very interesting. she introduces our class by telling us a story about a vacation her husband and her took to spain in the 1970's where they ran into this family from 'The Yemen'. And she continues to refer to it as 'The Yemen' for 30 minutes. P.S. our class is about the Cold War...still no mention or correlation an hour in. And since our class is 5.5 hours long we usually get a half hour break in the middle. So our break is approaching and she goes so break how about 15 minutes. Groans and mumbles from the peanut gallery. She then says okay 20 minutes wow you guys are so greedy. We leave at 4.00 and all of us arrive back at 4.20. Our teacher, yea she shows up at 4.45?? Excuse me?? haha she is an interesting person. And my other two classes have the same teacher. Stuart McKenzie who is soo cute. He purses his lips when he gets mad or thinks real hard and I think its adorable. But he is so talented. In his class we just work on stretching the box of our artistic realm and exploring different themes and media. Yesterday I was telling Meg in my class how much I hate visors that when I see them I actually get chills an Stuart starts laughing and says I actually bought two visors this weekend, I was planning on wearing one today but it didn't match my outfit. The class goes dead silent, shit. And then he starts laughing and says bloody like i like visors. then we talked about the worst fashion trends ever, fanny pouch, ponchos, so on. In my digital imaging class with him we made a melon head and added various edible parts for face pieces Mine ended up turning out as a replica of Michael Phelps, big ears sticking out. So I told Stuart I named mine Michael Phelps and he goes whos that.....so I drew a picture of Michael Phelps in my sketchbook...and wrote him a peronalized note identifying him. Stuart lives underneath a rock.

Outside of school this past weekend I went to Scotland, which I have no idea how to identify..is is a country, a region, a state, a continent. Regardless, its wicked hilly and a 15 minute hike up a hill to our hotel is not a highlight. Oh and anneliese and I were so excited!! cause we sleep on wooden boards here in our biscuithead apartment. And the idea of a hotel bed was more exciting then dating Tony or eating a whole gallon of B&J. We stayed in hotel room #1...really never knew hotels had a room #1. needless, it was amazing, we even had a heater and a tv! So we went on a tour of old and new town of Edinburgh which roughly translates in german to 'Edin Castle'. Later that night we went to a Ceilidh which is a traditional Gaelic music and dance gathering + a bar and hot scotish men in kilts. so we all got a little tipsy then scotish people tried needlessly to teach us dance moves. While we drooled over their highlander beauty. There we plenty of times that we fell over and were dragged along the floor and were trampled while we were in deep thought about the next dance move but it was an amazing time. Afterwords we went out clubbing, which is very interesting in Scotland. At the door they give you a voucher to get into the club free.. and it was about midnight as we entered a club called faith and we were the only ones there-no joke. After five minutes three drunk people walked in and provided amusing entertainment. So we went in early cause the next morning we were headed to Holyrood Castle, the official estate of the Queen in Scotland. Ill bypass a history lesson and just say it was pretty sweet. Afterwords our group set out to climb Arthur's Seat a 820 feet extinct volcano mountain. It didn't appear too daunting, obviously our vision needs to be checked. Our teacher Tony, a gorgeous 40 year old man father of two children and also possesor of superhero speed, embarrassed us all. He scaled it in about 10 minutes only taking breaks so we wouldn't die and attemting to conger up something to talk about so we weren't too embarrassed. Just further imprinting the whole American Obesity idea. When we got to the top and after I arose from my collapsed position, I found out we weren't there yet...So we had to climb this rock wall in the rain to our impending death. The view was amazing. I dropped my memory card down the elevator shaft cause I am that cool, so Anneliese has all the pictures. It was soo windy too, Scotland as a whole is very windy and hilly. It was an awesome experience. The climb down wasn't exactly oodles of fun in the hurricane-like weather. But no worries cause we found a starbucks and we all refueled on hot chocolate. Besides Starbucks Scotland has Quizno's, Subway, KFC, Burger King, McDonalds (which we ate at haha). After all that physical exertion Anneliese and I went back and had a romantic night watching movies in bed and playing Speed. Which reminds me we had to ask the front desk for an extension cord for her computer and they go oh yes give us ten minutes we will bring you one. So when I heard a knock I answer the door and here they have a TIM the TOol MAn FreAKing Generator Extension Cord I died laughing it was interesting. We laid down in bed at 6.00 pm we did not leave till 9.00 the next morning, the reclusive hermits we are just to score on the free breakfast downstairs. Sunday was spent visiting the Edinburgh Castle which was originally built in the 12th Century and then shopping for various Christmas Presents. And then after a 6 hour return train ride--oh so much fun in which Anneliese rubbed in my horrendous softball skills, and we continued to stare at the man of our dreams--we were finally home. So there's a generalization of my Scotland trip. I am planning on going to Barcelona towards the end of November. Anneliese and I are going to Greece for 4 days at the end of term. Rome might also be in the books. And then in January- Ireland, Italy and Scotland often with Morgan and Jill, Spring Break is either Sweden or Germany.

My lone class for today was cancelled for a field trip on Friday to the British National Museum so last night we had drunked festivities in the apartment. Meg came up and along with Anneliese, me and Marina we played Swedish card games (which included RIDE THE BUS??), and took interesting pictures and planned our amazing upcoming week. Friday afternoon I have a ticket for Tea at the Dorchester which is $70 eek but its an eight course exclusive meal on silver china. Friday night is eating really tasty, scrumptous, delectable food if you catch my drift. And then Saturday is hair day going blonde? and then Mayfair at night with Swedish visitors. And I think next weekend we might be doing a day trip somewhere. But what the hoot. I am loving it here!

64 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!!!

psss.. me and anneliese need chipotle, potbellys, and noodle&co immediately. we haha bought macaroni and cheese in a can yesterday the first we saw of it. it was greenish in tent and made a glopping sound. we each ate one noodle...WERE DYING!!!

For labor day weekend there was a family reunion at Camp Emahaus in Illinois. Our family has been going to this camp since for over 50 years and my Aunt's ashes are spread here. My Uncle Phil who married Thanksgiving 2006 brought his wife Karen and she is so much fun and brought their dog Perry. Then it was my mom, dad, brother, grandma, grandpa, great aunt Edna and great uncle Dale, Gretchen, and great uncle Ned. It between building puzzles, camp dinners, and hiking, it was an awesome weekend. My uncle Ned flew in for Sunday and took us all up for a flight in his plane. Despite the lack of air conditioning, in-flight service, and baggage check, it was so neat to fly. His plane was really small and I got to speak in the headset so I felt real cool.

So this past Thursday I drove up to Purdue for the VIC MMM, even though I am listed on as assignment in London. Good thing I showed up too we celebrated May's birthdays so I got a cupcake and a dilly bar definitely worth the trip. After reciting the trusted to memory creed, toasting ourselves, and chowing down on subway the party was over. That night Morgan and I went out and mocked the audacity for the freshmen's attitudes and outfits, despite the fact that we were exactly the way they were two years ago. Plus we got to put my Pure Romance Phermones to the test. While Morgan smelled liked onions and I smelled like cooking spray we scored on the man attraction field that night.

The next morning I woke up to have Morgan poke fun at my use of Teddy the night before and the movie Moulin Rouge. With lunch plans at the union at 11:30 we had to book it. On the way into campus we tried to avoid stares, not easy when Morgan is wearing a komino with hot pink heels and we are loudly reminising the night before. While discussing the most convienent way for Morgan to get out of Italian is to fake tuberculosis, Ross turns around, standing right in front of us. He goes, wow I was just thinking to myself, there must be some really stupid girls behind me because that conversation was ridiculously dumb. At lunch we catch up on CSR gossip and make plans for Anneliese's party the next night. Next, during my scheduled conference call she reminds me of why I am really up at Purdue and presents me with a to-do-list that must be accomplished before I can return home. So I head up to the VIC, meet and greet with Melissa and Darlene, and ask Darlene to write me a letter of recommendation for London. Then I head back to the Union get a new Student ID, number cinco, after my wallet was stolen this summer. I turn my direction to Matthews Hall, and run into Susan and Nancy. After catching up on summer news and the new school year, and I ask her for a letter of recommendation letter too, I go to the sewing lab to meet up with my landlord for the weekend. Morgan and I hit up Hovde Hall for an updated resume, and then headed off to do what we do best, FATTENING UP. Straight to DQ for some ice cream yumm then Morgan left for work while I drove over to boy Morgan and Zach's place for dinner. After seemingly getting ditched by them which was just them really sleeping and not answering their phone we all meet up at Brittany and Brook's for winner chicken dinner.
Upon leaving we headed back to Zach's where we had a girl talk dance party and got ready for the night; which involved a flannel morgan look alike contest. We headed up to Theta Chi to check the brotherhood, at this time of the night I bought a I Love Theta Chi t-shirt, final sale for 5 pesos. Then Steve, Zach, and I left to meet up with my friend Emily at Brothers. It was a night of specials and we definitely took advantage of it. 6 rounds of jager bombs later and several toasts to random body parts we headed to Jakes to meet up with my sophmore year roommate. After catching up we did the typical Purdue activity, and hit up taco bell for some good eats. Then, I ran away to meet up with Morgan found her at Betas, I kinda broke in, and yes I was the only person there besides the brothers. We went to Qdoba where I ate a brownie and another taco. Sam and Morgan and I headed back to Sam's house where I passed on her couch in my I Love Theta Chi shirt.

After waking up in the morning, to an empty house, I went downstairs heated up my two other tacos ate them and watched Little House on the Prarie. Ryan called me and I went over to his place for a tailgate party. I stole one of his Purdue shirts and me, him, Brent, and Kara headed to the game. We parked in BFE and then took oregon trail to the game where we put on a short hula show for passerby's. With a pit stop at a closed Insomnia Cookie (are they stupid) and then went to McDonald's where we settled for McFlurrys. Across the street we scalped tickets, hahaha where one scalper actually made fun of us for our purchase of tickets. We followed Rush to the game and ran into Insomnia Cookie's selling cookies down the street, man! We went into the game after many distractions, mainly attributed to Ryan and got some sweet seats at the top. VIP we sat right behind Steve Irwin. We posed for pictures with his Hat and attempted to watch the game. However, we were surrounded by some amazing hairdo's and Avon people so game watching was not a primary priority. Later after watching excise's commercial and taking in some good sun rays we headed out. I hiked over to Emily's and 45 minutes later I finally arrived, not cool. Girl time was fun, we discussed my prospects of dating the princes and how the heck I was going to pack my life into two suitcases.

But it was time to head up to Anneliese's for her BON VOYAGE and Birthday dinner party. Morgan Katy and I set out and was almost late because we stopped for Wendy's! And it was the most amazing night ever. Anneliese's mother slaved over dinner and made a delectable menu. Crab spread and spinach feta for appetizers, italian pasta salad, lamb kabobs, roasted red potatoes, asparagus, grilled salmon, Scrumptious! And we were all dressed up, with all of us girls from purdue, emily and greta, torrie and ben, max, and the parents. Overall it was such a great night, Anneliese's dad was trying to get all of ladies drunk, and I can tell the star of the night had a wonderful time! Katy and I spent the night and woke up to real French Toast and I ate some more off the blietzberg birthday cake. Anneliese's dad once again tried to get a buzz started by offering to mix up some bloody mary's but it was time to hit the road.

Back in West Lafayette I visited Theta Chi and watch the brother's eat Arbys. Ross and I went over to Morgans to authenticate his BGR MVP award and watch the Colt Bears game. Outnumbered by the Bear Fans 8-1 and the embarrassing loss I split from town with my tail between my legs. But only after witnessing the long-awaited wrestling match between Ross and Morgan. Not to mention I got my butt-whooped by Morgan himself in the first quarter.
