Kickin' off Spring right

First Weekend back...it was quite a good one. I am kind of hesitant to going crazy partying this semester, but you know--as is the duty of any self respecting UConn student--partying the first weekend back is a necessity.

Friday Night was pretty sweet, more of a chill night than anything else. We finally implemented this drinking game that I have been dying to try...the official FIFA drinking game!! Basically, every time we scored, we drank. And we scored. A LOT.

At least, that's what happens when you're Brazil and you're playing a scrub team like Leeds United lol!

So that was a fun start to the night, then we decided that it was an absolute necessity to go to the Student Union and grab some Wendys. Crispy chicken nuggets go a long way to satisfying a late night hunger aha, and we managed to grab dinner and a show: as is customary of UConn's late night tradition (which is meant for sober fun, which was ironic), they were doing karaoke!!

Now, there are some pretty weird people reppin' late night karaoke's mantle. Take our most popular singer, Brittney for instance.

Close your eyes. Picture a girl that has the look of a crabby two year old that didn't get her happy meal. Now, add 200 pounds and about an extra 4 feet to that girl, and you have roughly a decent outline of Brittney. Now, picture her singing such club-bangers as "Get Low" by Lil' John and Eastside Boyz, and "Lip Gloss" by Lil' Mama. Yeah...

It was just hella funny lol. I won't go down and mention every single funny character that went up, but I will mention one extremely random character. During someone's rendition of "Everybody" by the Backstreet Boyz, this straight up gangsta black kid goes up on stage and starts nodding his head to the beat. If you ever ran track for North Haven, I'll put it to you like this: a more grizzly-but-less-well-kept Omar Whittington. Basically, a poor man's Omar Whittington.

Anyways, the kid had on one of those American Eagle fuzzy hats and was constantly eating a tub of ice cream. Like, a legit tub. He was doin serious work too, scooping at a furious rate of roughly 25 scoops per minute! He was constantly looking around too, really paranoid almost lol like it was weird hahaha. We thusly dubbed him "tubby" and he made several appearances throughout the night, even dancing to Soulja Boy with his ice cream tub lmao. Stange, strange *shakin my head

I'm about to catch some Zzzzzz but I'll update the rest of the weekend soon!

Pumped for this Semester!!

Dudes, Dudettes, Dude-lets.

I'm pumped for this semester! I had Biology yesterday which looked alright, should be my toughest class. Calculus however looks like it might be really easy, and even better is that my English class looks like it will actually be interesting! I've got a chill, male graduate student so he won't be bitching at everyone all semester and the best part is he's from Waterbury haha reppin' the bury.

So, all in all my classes look tight. Holla!

Nutrition and Shytttt

What? Oh, word? You don't speak English? You just got off the boat? Wait, say that again?

These were roughly my thoughts when I first heard my Nutrition teacher, Ock Chwan (sp?) speak this morning at approximately 8:01. Like honestly, wtf haha cut me some slack I'm tryin' to do work this semester homie!

Nah, but on the real though my teacher seems really nice despite her lack of skills in the vernacular area. Another bonus: as long as I stay on top of things it looks like this class will be an easy GPA booster! Woot!

I'm not sure how I feel yet about the girls in my class...like, they are extremely hot for the most part. However, that means I am going to have to shower to look like I didn't just roll out of my bed in sweatpants at 8 am which means I would have to wake up much earlier. Pros and Cons my friends, Pros and Cons.

Also, the only other class I had today was an FYE (First Year Experiance) which is a one credit class. The teacher was absolutely phenomenal, really gets people talking ya know? Plus, the class all seems really nice, so hopefully I meet some cool people to expand the "web" haha. GOT EMMMMMMM

Other than that Pat, Samir, and I all snuck into this Futsal game that was going on at EO Smith, and it was pretty sweet. Holla.

Back at UConn

Spring Semester 2010 baby!

I am back at school feeling really refreshed and ready to kick some @$$ this term! My break was great, I got to see some people that I don't usually get to see and I had a great time!! The only downer was that I got a bit sick the last couple days before I went to Boston and I never really got to say goodbye =/

Speaking of Boston...WOWWW lol such a great trip!! We really partied quite hard and showed them how North Haven does it haha, Conner came up too. All of Geoff's friends are really nice, and they are definitely really down to earth for such smart people (he lives in the honors dorm). Overall I was really impressed with Northeastern.

I changed my schedule a little bit, I am going to take Nutrition instead of Chemistry, partly because the Chem I wanted to take was full and partly because I want to see if I have any interest in switching majors to Nutrition. The first class that I had today was actually my first 8 am ever!!! FML...I know that's gonna be my hardest test getting up for 8 hahaha but the class is fun! So, who knows. More later

EDIT

Of course, my lovely cousin Jennie was a clear high point of my trip to Boston!!! We actually had a lot of fun picking out her outfit, no homo, (Dammit Kim!!) lmao. Although we didn't go to breakfast the next morning with her, that was mainly my fault in picking a bus that goes back at 1 and not accounting for time to wake up after a rough night lol. Did I mention Jennie rocks?

Great Start...

Man tough times today, but that is what friends are for.

I can't really get into the situation for personal reasons, but I feel terrible about it.

I want to get it off my chest though alskjfdalsjf

EDIT: Has nothing to do with New Years party, I'll post that later lol
