My Crazy Busy Weekend

I'm sure I left you all hanging on Monday wondering why I was up for 30 hours (well once I actually went to bed it was 34 haha) right? (haha) Ok well here is the story of my VERY long weekend. I think I've talked about this before but just in case, let me reiterate something: I HATE MY BLACK WORLD STUDIES CLASS! I took this class for two reasons: one, it was for a general requirement and was the only one I could get into in the last minute, and two, it actually sounded interesting.

What I didn't know going into it was that my professor is a self described "a-hole" and he admitted today (proudly) that he's been working on that title for 20 years. So last week when he announced that we would have a 20 page paper due as our midterm I immediately thought no problem. However he then threw in a twist: the assignment for the paper would be emailed out on Friday afternoon, and would be due on Monday by 5. Like are you kidding me...4 DAYS for a 20 page paper? Normally this would be annoying but whatever I would just be a hermit for the weekend...the major problem with this weekend was that my school was hosting our home horseshow so I litterally had NO time to work on it.

So the horseshow went well, and our horses were fabulous, despite some very, um, INTERESTING riding done by the other teams haha, but I literally had no time to work on the paper Saturday night because by the time I got home I was so tired from showing, working, and being up since 6am and I also had to get up on Sunday morning at 630am. Sunday comes, and the horses are great again, however by the time that everything is done, I don't end up starting my paper (and by starting I literally mean starting the research) until 5pm.

Long story short I work on my paper throughout the night, go to my 10am class (why I don't really know...I was so out of it I almost fell out of my chair), come back, finish the paper at 4pm, and fall asleep on the couch at 430pm. So stressful but at least this story has a happy ending: My professor had graded the papers already (I know I have no idea how he got them all done either) and I got an 85! Not my finest grade on a paper but I'm pretty happy with it (especially for such a last minute attempt.) It was a very relieving way to end the day and a great way to go into my fall break which starts tomorrow...which means that the next time I blog I'll be back in Boston!!

It Would Only Happen To Me...

I've finally accepted that I really am a walking Murphy's Law... there are certain things in life that really would only happen to me. Case in point: yesterday I had two MAJOR tests, so I knew that Tuesday night was going to be a long one. I had a recruitment meeting at 930 (which I drove to), then after the meeting I drove to the library, and parked my car in this side parking lot. I turned off my car, and this happened:



Yup...my key snapped in two. After quickly calling M, S, and my parents I called triple A, to have someone tow my car to my house (I could only park in the lot until 7am) and waited for the tow truck to come. And waited. After about an hour and a half of sitting by my car trying to study, and about 5 phone calls from the tow truck man who was lost, Steve (of Steve's towing) finally showed up....and told me that he couldn't tow my car home because it would hurt the transmission (only he told it in a way that was MUCH ruder.)

After finally getting home at about 1am on Tuesday night (Steve didn't give me a ride) I started studying for my first test until about 3am, then woke up at 8am on Wednesday to BEG the parking people not to give me tickets while my car was sitting in the parking lot, took my test at 10am, studied for my second test about an hour and a half before, came home from classes at 7pm, before going to hear a (GREAT) speaker for my sorority at 730pm.

Whew! So happy that the past couple days are over! I actually think I did alright on my tests (although that usually means that I didn't haha) and the spare key from my parents came today so I was able to move my car. So now instead of doing anything remotely productive, I'm sitting at home watching How I Met Your Mother (S just got the 4th season) and relaxing. SO happy that the weather is FINALLY fall-like, and Happy October 1st everyone...only 26 days until my 22nd bday...eek!!

Good News and Bad News

Last night a very good friend of mine sent a facebook message to our group of friends saying that her mom and friends got 10 tickets to see Taylor Swift next weekend in Chicago but they couldn't go so she was wondering if we wanted to go instead. (Good News!)

The best part about the facebook message? The tickets are FREE (AMAZING News!!)

The only problem? My school has our home home horse show that weekend (both Saturday and Sunday) so there is literally NO way way I can go. (Bad...VERY Bad News)

So while my friends are enjoying Taylor I'll probably be at home going to bed early so I can get up at 6am on Sunday to stand in the cold watching (and riding) horses...BOOOO.

But (to not end on a completely bad note...I just checked the 10day weather forecast and its supposed to be in the 60s all week! Woohoo Fall is officially here!! A better post much later!
