Overall

Its been some time since exciting adventures had happened in my life- I mean obviously things are always interesting but sometimes Weeds take priority over everything (blogging, school, exercise- whatever it happens). So I will catch you all up..

Subway Bitch-
Every day there are two men that sit on the corner of Washington and Clinton and always hold signs up that say "Anything will help". I was feeling extra happy and helpful so I asked our chef if he would have extra dinners I could take to them. RJ, being the sweet soul he is, took control of my mission to cure homeless hunger and packed them both dinners (napkins and forks included). I walked the mile down to the corner and of course one of them wasn't there. Alright coolio, this lucky dude gets two dinners (pulled pork is the shit too). As i was crossing the street I ran into my friend and had to chat for a little bit and catch up on her life.. literally 1.5 minutes of a meet and greet. Well, within that 1.5 minutes some sassy bitch waltzed up and handed the guy a sub and a drink from subway. Obviously subway> pulled pork. So then I awkwardly, handed him the sandwiches and received  a pitty thank you. I can't even make a homeless man smile. Dammit my life.


Studying- sucks
My life- is a joke
Molly's cupcakes- are the shit
Water- is good for you
I hate- the solar system
The gym- is for smoothies
Overall- Smile at at everyone, you never know the inner battles they are fighting off.

Olympic Rings and Emotional Things: What is it about the Olympics that make us ugly cry over sports and athletes we've never heard of?

I'm sitting here on a Wednesday afternoon where, from my couch,  I am transfixed by the multicast view of the Olympics. A quadrant of screens take up the TV where a medal ceremony, men's basketball, skateboarding and a women's soccer game are all happening at the same time. Now, I've always been someone with a love of sports - and it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for me to watch multiple events at the same time, or maybe even grab a stealth peak of the ESPN app to check the score while at a wedding...but to have a quad screen up with multiple sports - even for me, that seems excessive. It got me thinking, what is it about the Olympics that continually captures my attention so fully I can not simply fathom picking ONE of these events to watch? The simple and most obvious answer is that it's fun to watch the world's best athletes compete against each other. You get the super teams, the living legends, the hometown heroes, the underdogs, the record holders - ...

Amster...dam(n), that was fun.

I have recently found myself double checking my memories- making sure things really happened, that I actually did the things I think I did, and saw the things I swear I saw, because with all this adventure going on in my life nothing seems real any more; like it's one big dream that I don't want to wake up from. It's a good thing I always carry my Nikon around with me to back up my illusive memories- for proof that my life is actually as exciting as my thoughts tend to illustrate. For the past two days, I found myself in Amsterdam . The best part is, I was able to explore the fascinating place with my friends who flew in from Rome, Florence and London. It was such a glorious feeling to have Katie in my arms, to chow down with Lindsay and Maria, and to do stupid things with Mallory and Heidi- all while being in a foreign (seriously, so foreign) land. Before I landed in the city of canals, I knew very little about it. I suppose research would have been a standard idea, bu...

American Idiot

It's like Green Day once said, "I don't want to be an American Idiot". That stupid song has taken over every thought I've had whilst in this foreign land. You see, even though they speak English here, the accents are so thick I often find myself just nodding in agreement followed by a polite giggle after the third time of asking for clarification. For instance when I was at the FINE Wines store (sorry mom and dad), I couldn't understand the cashier and gave up asking the desperate "sorry, what?". Ironically, the only thing I did understand was when he handed me the receipt and under his breath said, "sign your life away here"…he was utterly shocked when I finally heard what he said. Then we briskly left the building, arms full of wine and imminent ragrets  (thats my creed though). But other than being the definition of an American idiot and continuously being told, "Oh, you're American.."(still haven't come up with a cl...
