It was Au'some!

Last week was pretty awesome if not a little tiring. Blu arrived on Tuesday and my dad and I met her at the airport. For the first couple of moments I think we were both a little unsure of how to take it all in. That changed when we got into the car. I brought up one of the topics we always talk about and we were off! We were talking like we had known each other for years. Well we have known each other going on two years now, but it was really easy talking to each other. We had my dad laughing the whole way home.

We had fun that night. We played pool, which we both sucked at. Then we played darts, which she rocks at, but only won because she cheated. It was hilarious. Of course we had to hit up some classic games on the Wii. We played Super Mario Bros. games and Donkey Kong. We pretty much did that all night.

The next day we left to go to Carthage. We arrived just before 4 p.m. Now it started off great. We met with one of our student overnight hosts, who I had met before. She had given my dad and I the tour when we came last month. Then we met up with the other overnight host who did not seem really into it. We went off with the nice host to watch her theater rehearsal, which was pretty awesome. We left early though, because the other host had kept talking about how early she had to get up and the rehearsal went to 10 p.m., so we didn't want to have her up too late waiting for us. She ended up staying up to 10 p.m. anyways. We got split up then into separate buildings. We slept on the floor in our hosts rooms. I lucked out.... I had carpet.

We got back together the next morning and I knew because of last night Blu really wasn't into the college. Breakfast was really good though. We went back to the admissions building to find a class to sit in on, but I didn't really want to at that point. Blu wasn't really into it either, so we decided to just walk around campus and take pictures. This was probably the best thing we could have done. It allowed us to see ourselves walking around campus as if we were students there. Even though I am definitely going there, it helped me become more familiar with Carthage. It is a new experience for me and sometimes I don't do well with drastic changes like that. I feel so much better about attending Carthage now. Even though Blu has pretty much decided to stay in Connecticut at her new job that she loves, it was really great that she came and experienced that with me.

We got home around four that evening, ate dinner, and just lazed around until around 8 p.m. we decided to get on blogtv. Of course, I failed and didn't get on cam, but it was still fun. We originally got on blogtv for my sister, but she was on the road going out of town. We were on there a couple of hours and then watched a movie. We had to leave at 4 a.m. to take her to the airport that was an hour away, so we decided we just wouldn't go to sleep. We were exhausted. This coupled with the past couple of nights of little sleep was too much.

I am glad she came though and we are definitely going to meet up again. Only, next time we are getting more sleep. I am not saying that we are going to get the recommended hours of sleep, but we are going to get a decent amount. Four days with little to no sleep is a little much even for me. It's my turn to visit her next and I can't wait!

On the school work end, I am attempting to do work for my Global Business class. I was talking with my sister and we kinda figured out that I am used to doing one class at a time and I am capable of doing that class within a short amount of time. Therefore I am going to attempt to do one class at a time starting with Global Business. I ran into a little snag last night was going through the first chapter and almost said that I couldn't do it, but I regrouped and will continue.
