Let’s Get This Show On the Road!….aaand then head right back. Then we’ll really go.

Standard

Officially, I am in my junior year of college. My apartment with B is all pretty-fied and decorated with Where’s Waldo posters, mustaches, a “Believe” poster for Sasquatch, and a bajillion other random awesome things. Maybe I’ll post pictures. But for now, below is our shower curtain.You can get your own from Urban Outfitters:

Anyways, The Place Where the Awesome People live is on the first floor, which was such a miracle when moving stuff in, especially since I have been living on the third floors of buildings with no elevator. Also had to move in mini-fridges. Not fun. But not this year! This year is magical. No mini-anything to move in, we have a dishwasher, a kitchen and laundry machines you don’t have to walk the gauntlet and the Mojave desert to get to, and NO STAIRS. Let me repeat, NO STAIRS. This may be slightly more exciting to me than you, so let me explain. Last year, I partially dislocated my left knee. While this may seem less severe than tearing something, IF YOU TEAR SOMETHING THEY CAN DO SURGERY TO FIX IN. If you FULLY dislocate it, they can pop it back in and you’re fine. If you partially dislocate, you are up Coffee Creek without a stirrer stick. So they sent me home with an exoskeleton and the instructions not to do a ton. Then I’d start Physical Therapy. So yeah, stairs were evil is the moral of the story.

Back to the apartment. So this apartment is perfect. Not tiny, not so big I’ll get lost or it looks empty. There is only one down side to this place. And that is that WE ARE ON THE FIRST FLOOR. Yes, this is counterproductive to my point before. But that was before I heard the party monkey-screechers who live upstairs. I swear they had a herd of horses galloping around up there last night. I was not amused. Since classes haven’t started yet, I can see their side, but if it happens every weekend, I WILL go all Evil Queen on their asses. Like this:

Actually, this will be nothing in comparison. Anyways, even with the trampling dinosaurs upstairs (notice I am not calling them elephants because I love elephants. I also love dinosaurs. Except velociraptors, Those were ruined for me by Jurassic Park. So they’re now velociraptors), the apartment is spectacular….

Okay, seriously velociraptors, it’s not even noon. No drum circles. This blog is so turning into “Dear Assholes above me”.

I Solemnly Swear I am Up to No Good

Well, thus begins the final days of summer for this Sad Panda. Today was the final of my intensive Anatomy and Physiology course. This course was the entire year of learning, three sections, condensed into nine weeks. For you math majors, this means I have accomplished each term in three weeks. Bravo for me. And you. Because you can do math.

You are fab-you-lush. Moral of the story, math makes you turn into Hawkeye.                                  

So basically, I survived that intense course this summer plus an online class, an in-person almost week-long class, and numerous personal turbulent things this summer. So Thank God Almighty, the fall is here at last! Almost. I move into my own apartment on campus this Saturday, it’ll be me and my amazing friend B in our two bedroom home of wonderfulness for the fall. I’m going to be busy, working over 20 hours a week with 17 credits in school. But that’s what this blog is for: my mental wonderings and wanderings.

 

In other news, my plane ticket is bought! I am officially going to Disneyland for my 21st birthday. Yes. Worship my eccentricness. I shall be frolicking in the Happiest Place on Earth with some people I love the most. All cares shall be gone, my search shall be ovah and, what was that Frolicking Kitty?

This will be me. I will be flying high on my Disney-loving endorphins, skipping to rides and various other places around the park.

 

Correct Frolicking Kitty! Now, I am off to go pick out my new glasses frames and get packing.

Until then Invisible people who read my blog,

Aurora

A New Beginning, Or Something Equally as Cheesy

Standard

Hello World,

My name is Aurora. Okay, it isn’t actually Aurora, but I’m going by Aurora for the sake of my own privacy as well as my friends and family’s. Plus there’s the whole “Oh by the way, this is how I really feel about your situation” thing. If you have enough motivation, you’ll be able to figure out who I am. I know how the whole facebook stalking thing works, I’m thisclose to finding Prince Hairy-I-mean-Harry on the thing. Whole ‘notha story.

This is an example of my humor. If you don’t think it’s funny…you’re probably sane.

 

So technically I’m not Aurora. So who is this person typing this words you are now reading? Well, tis a good question. In summary, I am a gluten-free (it’s not a fad, it’s an allergy. Whole ‘notha post), thyroid-disease ridden (a whole other blog may be needed to discuss the thyroid), Disney-adoring, light-up shoes loving, saracism-using college student. At the moment, I’m in the midst of finishing prereqs and am slated to start Nursing School this February! (This is the part where you cheer.) ‘Tis been a long, wearisome journey my friends, but the graduating with a job thing shall be worth it! School approacheth, moving in this weekend and class starts Monday the 27th. Woooooo…..The main bright side is my job resumes (Thank you Government for work-study) and that I TURN 21 IN OCTOBER! HECK YEUSSSS! Legal, I shall be. Hopefully hungover and lost, I shall not be.

This? None of this. I do not want this. I am going to Disneyland for my 21st birthday, thankyouverymuch.

 

Basically, the whole reason for this jaunt into blogging is that I personally am very entertained and moved by other people’s thoughts and lives and think some of my adventures may be entertaining or motivating to you as well. Hopefully. If not, it’ll motivate you to write a better blog than me.

In summary: Hello, my name is Aurora and welcome to the inner workings of my brain.
