my (third) first week of college

You'd think by now I'd have it down pat...

8/19/11
- 8:30 a.m. - leave for college.
- 11:45 a.m. - arrive at college.
- 4:30 p.m. - realize I've forgotten my pillow. Emily let me borrow hers when I spent the night at her place.
8/20/11
- 1:30 a.m. - fire alarm goes off.
- 6:45 a.m. - help the freshman move in while wearing a super sassy zebra printed bandana.
- 1:30 p.m. - go to take a shower and realize I've forgotten body wash and a wash cloth. I use hand soap. It worked.
- 2:30 p.m. - realize I've also forgotten my hand towel.
- 5:30 p.m. - Target run with Mae, Emily, and Sloan. I buy a pillow, socks, body wash, hand towel, and a wash cloth (~$40)
- 8ish p.m. - realize I've forgotten my over the door coat hanger.
- 8:30ish p.m. - realize I've forgotten cups, plates, and silverware.
8/21/11
- 9:00 a.m. - realize I forgot my mirror.
- 2:30 p.m. - realize I want to have a clock for my desk. I have the perfect one...at home.
- at some point that evening, made another Target run. Bought a cup and a mirror (~$20).
8/22/11
- 7:00 p.m. - realize I've forgotten my snuggie.
- 7:03 p.m. - text my mom a list of things I've forgotten. She informs me that I've also forgotten my retainer.
8/24/11
- 9:00 a.m. - staff meeting at the rec. Realize I've forgotten a beach towel.
- 1:30ish p.m. - walked from the rec to a pool. Missed the earthquake. Was super disappointed.
8/25/11
- 5:15 a.m. - wake up to go to work. Realize I've forgotten my work flip flops.
- 9:00 a.m. - first class of junior year. Learn about anatomy things.
- 10:00 a.m. - second class of junior year. Sit next to Kim and Elisa. Learn about statistical things.
- 11:00 a.m. - get lunch and check for package of things I forgot. No package.
- 1:00 p.m. - call mom. She says she just mailed the package about an hour ago. No wonder I didn't get it earlier.
- 2:00 p.m. - third class of junior year. Finally get my supply list. Realize I have many of those supplies. At home.
8/26/11
- 9:30 a.m. - fourth class of junior year. Learn about spiders and other gross things.
- 3:54 p.m. - receive text that The College is being evacuated. Try to call my mom. So many other people decided it would be a good idea to use their phones, too, that I couldn't get through. I finally did. Made plans to go home the next morning.

I had my mom send me a package of things I forgot; I made numerous trips to the store to purchase other things that I forgot. And then I was sent home. Where I could have brought back the things I forgot...at no additional charge...

This is why I'm glad my head is securely attached to my body. Otherwise, I'd probably forget it, too.

trains, tours, and farewells (vlog)

The last video of my first vlogging weekend. We met up with my friend, Ethan, dropped Marisa off at the station, and then we toured his house. Also, I got my friendship bracelet secured on my wrist!

global positioning systems (vlog)

As I was taking Marisa to the train station, we discussed our opinions of GPSs (not sure if I correctly pluralized that?).

cops, broken bridges, and birthdays (vlog)

While driving Marisa to the train station, we decided to vlog again.

my first vlogging experience

Marisa and I went to the beach this past week, and we decided to try vlogging to entertain ourselves on the car ride home.

Here is her first experience at Bojangles.

Here's the rest of the trip (sort of).

katie dreams, episode 5

I missed class on Wednesday, but it was ok because the same class was offered on Thursday, it was just a little bit longer than the Wednesday class but it was fine. We were on chapter 5. Except every chapter 5 in every single text book at school was messed up! It was just torn out of the books, so we obviously couldn't learn. Then, this bat started flying around the class. I caught it in my hands. It was a vampire bat with a Phantom of the Opera mask on (it was a full mask rather than the typical half-mask), so I booked out of that classroom so quickly and hauled tail to the door to let it out. When I got back to class, the door was locked and the teacher wasn't letting anyone back in that left the room. But since I saved everyone from getting rabies from that bat, I was allowed to reenter. We were split up into pairs to clothe the Barbie dolls. I had to convince this little girl that the outfits were cute. We ended up settling on this black and red dress that was quite fancy. I woke up before we got a chance to put it on her :(
