Risky Business

So I got caught talking about my roommate it seems...and there's no way to convince her that the facts are slightly otherwise. And you know what? I still feel bad. I actually feel like I deserve it even when I never really said anything insulting or insinuating bad things. Aren't dorms lovely? Drama dears, we can never get away from it.

Other than that I got caught drinking a few weekends ago. I could've just said no to the RA's question but I'm too honest. So I had a conduct meeting about breaking the residential policy on alcohol. Outcome is I have to take this class called ADCAS (Alcohol Awareness type stuff). They make me out to be such an alcoholic. Even if I know I'm not.

What is funny is that our Res. Director, the one who gave me the 'sentence,' happens to be on my co-ed intramural b-ball team. Yea...and he wants to work at LAS possibly ever since I mentioned it, so I gave him Tim Miller's e-mail and my yearbook to look over. And I still got in trouble. Grr.

Doing the school thing is slightly distracting lately. Having fun is my priority right now, so I'm trying. It's really hard to have fun when you're in a funk and on your period though. I'm sure you all wanted to know that. Hopefully though, my friend Nick will be coming up from UW to help put me in a better mood. Don't think dirty you guys.

I want to watch Mary Poppins...

Heather, you're present will be late, but it will come. Happy Early Birthday. I think we all hope you new friends are kind enough to prank you for us.

Ok...my bottle of Bailey's is waiting for me on the shelf, and it's been ready to go since it got here. I'm a shitty date..

Hague Update

Ola from Den Hague....
Just a quicky... I've got other quickys to do.. ahaha. Ya.. Anyway, Hague=awesome so far I have started a sing-along on the tram (wheels on the bus, then the US anthem [not my idea]) I have gotten drunk, I have not gotten anything stolen (although Roxanne did, which sucks), and ya.. I've partied. Both Matt and Roxanne brought shisha pipes so we've been doing that and drinking... Will have pics soon. So ya.. And then last night both Taylor (annoying new kid whose trying to hook up with both Roxanne and I) and Matt puked in their beds... Didn't know Taylor did, But I had to carry Matt back to his room (cus i was the only one who could walk straight) and then he puked all over his bed (well mostly in a towel). He then proceeded to try and stick his hand up my shirt. He said it's because I was being annoying... Not sure I understand the connection... Anyway, woke up this morning... I feel fine, everyone else is a litte shaky.. hehe...
Anyway gotta go, lunch time..
Miss you guys!!
Love

College,

Wow, Katie...high school never sounded so dirty. Haha. Drinking on the weekdays in college just seems a lil' more justified though, lol. I have survived the first two weeks of school with only a few tears so far. One of the tears came from getting caught drinking, the other tears would be coming from my reminiscings of my pathetic life. It sucks on weekends here because so many people have friends that come and visit them. Honestly if every weekend one of you came and visited, I'd most likely be in heaven.

On that note. End of June seems to be a good time for a lovely lil' camping trip. I know you told me that that wouldn't work for you Chris, so I'm sacrificing myself to have two separate camping trips. I know, it'll take a lot outta me, but I'm willing to do it, lol. Even if I can't see you guys all at the same time, just seeing you guys would be the best. Canada, alcohol, snowboarding...clubbing, must I say more? So yea, talk about it, figure it out and get back to me dears. (I get outta school June 10th...grrr)

Classes at 8:30 am are an abhoration I've decided. Especially when it's English and I wish I was more awake to enjoy and grasp it. Even more especially when the guy who sits behind me is cute as can be and plays basketball Trying to look somewhat presentable at the time just seems to be impossible, including my wonderful conversation skills...hehe. Classes at 2 pm are horrible too because I have to avoid the creepy stalker dude who sits next to me, acts like a girl, and has icky breath. There's just no chance of ever being happy is there? haha. Plus my roommate seems to be nonexistent. She's spent three nights here since the beginning of the quarter (Jan. 4 btw). She's a nice girl, but she ain't you Lauren :( She's rich too...blatantly

Ok, cleaning time. Closet, broom, mop, rug-beating, desk and drawers, bed, etc... It's already 4 pm...what the...I guess I better hurry then. Muah, love you all...I'll talk to you all on the phone soon. I'm making the rounds, hehe.

It's about bloody time...

What it's about bloody time for, I donno.... hehe. Sorry... Anyway, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, blah blah...

I made it back to Switzerland intact. Actually the fact that I made it out is a minor miracle. We celebrated the first every Tequila Wednesday the night I left, so I left slightly intoxicated... hehe. Anyway and I managed to come back slightly intoxicated from spending the night in Geneva with Lauren... I then managed to stay sober for a record of 4 days. We then proceeded to do the second Tequila Wednesday... this time I had school in the morning. Just a hint, it was not fun... hehe sort of. I can now say that I can drink 12 shots of tequila... and get completely screwed over. Anyway, I lived (obviously).

I can also honestly say that this new ski season thing really sucks. Last week it was beautiful and the mountain was awesome in the morning. (it was all boarded off by the afternoon). I still managed to get some boarding in and we start officially on Tuesday. I'm so freckin' excited!!!
Um, whatelse... I took care of a lot of drunk ppl this weekend. Chelsea got really drunk... This sort of requires more explaination... She's been hooking up with Johnson (Andrew Johnson, ya he's back) for a couple of months, then Friday night he hooked up with Steph (Wigglesworth) in the bathroom at Top Pub. He then went to Beau Site and asked out another girl. It's quite funny really, when you step back, cus all three found out and he's so screwed... hehe. In the short however, both Chelsea and Steph decided to get completely trashed. Chelsea was so bad we had to literally carry her back to Vermont. Steph was ok actually. I then went up to Top Pub and proceeded to get groped by like half the bar... Actually it was mainly Dan and Faraz. They both get a little horny when they're drunk... Ya... It was not cool, especially cus they both have girlfriends!! hehe, anyway... so I also took them down. It was an interesting night all and all...

Anyway, the Hague countdown is at one week. I'm completely screwed work wise, but also totally excited. So I'll prolly write once I get back. Hey some of you might get lucky enough to get the infamous drunk phone call... Cus I will prolly be drunk at some point... Anyway, My roommate says 'Say Hi!' so hi...
hehe
Miss you guys tons!!
Love,
Katie

Untitled (sounds poetic that way, hehe)

Oi

Merry christmas and happy new years and all that stuff... I'm having a very good time being outside the States, even being in Lagos is fun *gasp*. I went to Portes du Soleil for 2 weeks, where my moms bf promptly decided to tear ligaments in both knees while doing a backflip... er.. well, stopping in front of a restaurant. But the snow was great, much better in France than in Switzerland, so Katie my heart goes out to you on that one. Speaking of Katie, we met up for a night in Geneva where we got COMPLETELY ripped off on drinks but found a shisha bar which wasnt too bad so that was fun, I decided at the end I wanted to finish up the whiskey my mom wanted to import into Nigeria.. heh heh that was a fun plane flight the next morning.

Mm now I'm in Lagos, my first night here consisted of having beer poured on my head (my mom is now the head of the Lagos hash). Oh and about summer and stuff, I have absolutely nowhere to go, for the entire summer. I'm staying with Marlon in Spain for a month, basically early june to early july or so, so if anyone is in Europe let me know (I am debating crashing grad btw). Umm and Justin we will have this "talk" when I get back to the States... hehe makes me feel like I did something wrong, man!

Ok this is getting long so yeah, miss yall tons,
Lauren

My message of joy...

Alright fuckers.

Here is a New Year message.

Firstly, I am home alone... well with drunken parents.

I need to re-establish contact with a lot of you. Hit up the cell phone. Or the home phone. I'm being really quick and to the point, therefore "normie" english (lol people who didn't take IB or AP English).

So...

The home phone 323.549.0770. The cell phone - 323.919.9161.

Happy New Year everyone, be safe, and don't do crack.

Katie, you never explained the details of your encounter to me. Was it big?

Katie & Court should jointly call me.

Lauren... we need to talk.

Liz... Shit well you're in Indo-Stan. Maybe when you get back.

CHRIS... PAUL... MICAH... You penis wearing creatures need to get on top of things.

If I speak to you regularly... you know who you are... keep doing it big.

PEACE
JUSTIN
