This Past Week

Hello! I haven't posted in a while so I apologize about that.

So much has gone on this week! I started classes on Tuesday and it was a blast. I love my classes. All of my friends have homework so far but I don't, we haven't done much in my classes except establish that we all could make a shape on Illustrator(what a long and boring class wow) but all of our teachers let us call them by their first names and they also don't mind if we draw in class so that's what I've been doing. I also learned that we have a scanner that's free to use and we're getting a 3D Printer!!!

I've also been spending a lot of times with my friends of course. We hang out every night and talk and eat and sing and watch movies. We became friends with a barista at the Starbucks next to our school who's name is Zen and he hangs out with us after work sometimes. Recently though we've been skeptical about his life story and he creeps on my friend Natalie a bit. I've already become pretty protective of my friends especially when we're out at night, and they've started calling me their bodyguard(even though I'm the least threatening person ever). The other day we were sitting outside the dorms and these two guys came over and told us that they had "all the weed". They asked us about ourselves and then after talking to us for a while they gave two of our friends free weed?? What?? Anyways it was kinda frightening but everything was okay. That was also the first time anyone has ever tried to convince me to do drugs(of course I turned them down).

A couple nights ago, it was my friend Emily's 18th birthday and we met up with about 20 other freshman and went to a hookah lounge. I tried some of it and it was interesting. It kinda hurt my chest though, and I don't think I'd do it again. But it was definitely an experience so now I know. On the wall of the lounge(you were allowed to graffiti) there was a big thing that said "Cornish". We also stopped and looked in a sex shop on the way home and there was Iron Man the porn and some sex toys with really really weird slogans that we all laughed about. When we got back me, Emily, and Natalie went and met up with a couple of our friends that we found in their dorm and they were really really really drunk and really really high(gettING FADED). It was really funny and we were going to leave but it was unsafe to leave the two of them alone we decided so we stayed. I found an empty vodka bottle that apparently they had completely drank between the two of them. One kept saying she had glass in her knees and nothing she said made sense. She also ate a birthday candle because she thought it was pop rocks??? The other was mostly okay but she was still pretty loopy and out of it. We had to pick the really crazy one up out of the hallway at one point right before an RA came through, it was scary. Eventually they both passed out and we all left. It was quite the night.

I've also been applying for jobs at a lot of places in the nearby shopping center and I'm going to apply at the Disney Store in Bellevue (which is across the water). It's a 45 minute trip but I don't mind because I'd like to work there very very much. I'm also applying for Forever 21, Gymboree, Papyrus, Barnes and Noble and Victoria's Secret. I might even apply for Brookstone!

I also snuck into PAX last weekend, and I met PeanutButterGamer and got to try Pokemon X and Y. I also wore my unfinished maid dress but it looked cute.~ The conventions center is really pretty, there is a huge public park surrounding it that has a giant "canyon" waterfall. I'll make sure to take pictures to show you guys, it's amazing.

Me and Natalie have decided to be fawns for halloween and it's gonna be so adorable. We just have to find that elusive Goodwill that we keep hearing about.

The weather has been beautiful here and I'm so glad to be here. I've been having some waves of homesickness, I really miss all of you guys. I'm glad to hear that all of my friends have been spending time together though.~ I can't wait to come back and visit! And I also can't wait to have more video calls with everyone.
