Operation Dumbo Duped

Well, I have failed to update my blog once again. BUT that's okay, because I'm going to make up for it with an awesome story. So, I was sitting in my friend Della's apartment, and we were just talking about fun safari animals. I told her that my favorite is a giraffe, and she said that we could be friends! I was super excited! Then, our other friend, Carly, said that she like elephants. This sparked a memory in Miss Della's head about the movie "Operation Dumbo Drop."
"Did you guys ever see that movie?!" she asked excitedly.
"Funny story..." I muttered. You see, when I was about six-years-old, that movie came out in theaters, and I remember wanting to see it SO badly! So, one day, my dad tells me to get ready because we're going to see it! You can imagine my excitement as I got dressed in my coolest Mighty Ducks shirt to go see this movie. Well, as we start getting beyond places that I recognize, I realize that we are NOT going to see "Operation Dumbo Drop." Instead, we pull into the parking lot of the clinic. Dun, dun, dun...! It was time for shots, and apparently I was very difficult when it came to that, so Daddy had to dupe me. Sadly, I still have not seen that movie.

Dance Dance Revolution

Well, tonight was the first school-sponsored stomp of many to come. I had a blast! I hung out and watched some of my little dormbies get numbers from girls. I was so proud of them! Haha. It was great fun. Classes officially start in the morning. I have an 8:30 class. Why am I still awake? Good question. I think I'm just too excited to sleep. I'm definitely looking forward to meeting people of the man sort. Speaking of which, I found this show on Fox called More to Love. It's pretty awesome. This guy is looking for a real woman. Not a little stick figure. I'm very excited to see how this turns out. Quote of the day: "Life is too short to count calories."

Illusion vs. Reality

Tonight I had the awesome opportunity to see a magic show put on by Mike Super. Yes, that is his name. Haha. He was hilarious! His tricks were way cool, and my friend Elise and I actually got to be a part of the show. A small, but still super-awesome part of the show! He recycled a Coke for her. I wish I knew how he did it. My mind is still a little boggled. I'm definitely glad that we got to go. His sense of humor is awesome! Some of my favorite things that he said:

"Her friend is smelling it! She's saying, 'Don't drink that demon soda!'" -about Elise and me.
"I'm gonna reach around you. I'm not gonna get fresh. You have the scissors and a little bit of an attitude."
"Lavenous. It's lavenous."

The guy was super cool. If you ever have a chance to see one of his shows...do it! The end.

Big "A" For Anderson!

CHANGE

Wow! It has been quite some time since I have been on this little blog spot of mine, but my friend Della inspired me to begin thinking like a true blogger once again! It's great to be back. A few things have changed for me. I'm now an RA at Anderson Hall, which is amazing by the way, and I'm having a lot of fun, but it's definitely not without its minor struggles. It's very important to learn to take things case-by-case.

Grandpa reminds me, "Don't sweat the petty things...and don't pet the sweaty things."

Ne'er a truer amount of advice given to a college girl. Thanks Gramps!

BLESSINGS
So, in my adventures tonight I've made new friends. Possibly one enemy, but, hey, that's how it goes, right? Something super cool, though! There's a young man in the dorm who happened to serve a mission in Japan, and we have an International Student. He's communicating with her. It is most incredible to hear! I'm so grateful to have him here, honestly. I'm sure it's going to make her feel much more comfortable. I can definitely say that God knows what He's doing.

MAINTENANCE ADVENTURES
Aside from a rickety door, we haven't really had many problems...until tonight. I decided to be brave and venture over to the boys' hall. No big deal, right? WRONG!
The first question: "When do they clean the bathrooms?"
Okay, now, normally I would just answer this, but these are boys, so there's this immediate red flag that pops up in my brain.
"Why?" I ask.
"You don't want to know," he replies.
"Well, it's my job to know," I state.
"It's bad!" gags he.
By this point, a few other boys have joined in the gagging and sputtering about the atrocious toilet monster! Apparently some college boys still haven't mastered the concept of flushing a toity.
"I'm going in!" I boldly exclaim.
"You can't!" they shout, "we can't let you go in there! Take some Febreeze! AND A BANDANA!"
"Oh, dear..." my brain thinks, "this is not going to be pretty."
I push the door open, and...tears! Instantly! Most wretched smell ever! So, being the girl that I am, I call on Drew to rescue me. He's the male RA. Poor Drew...
"DREW! OPEN YOUR DOOR!" He slowly opens his door. "I'm so sorry to bother you, but there's a little problem in the bathroom..." I sadly explain with a heavy heart.
"A problem in the ba...? UGH!" says he. Oh, dear...so sorry, friend!

The request form that was submitted was quite humorous. It included my one-liner about teaching these boys how to properly finalize their business. Haha. I thought it was pretty clever. Just thought I'd share.
