Davenport Durby & Couch Ganking






Sorry its been a while since i updated this thing. so the Davenport Derby has come and gone. for those of you that don't know what I'm talking about it's basically a mega huge couch race. every floor has a theme, decorates the couch, and dresses up according to the theme. we had the winning theme of Rub A Dub Dub. some of the others were Dr. Gary Streit (Malone's' new, ultra dorky, suspender wearing president), weddings, and Egyptian slaves.
to the right you can see my wonderful floor all ready to get clean...and yes that is shaving cream on our legs! moving on, later that night i probably had the most fun since I've been here. Angela, Erin, Myself and JD all ganked couches from the Davenport Derby out of the dumpster and hit them in random places around campus. some of our brilliant spots include an empty parking spot, on top of some picnic benches, and in front of the cafeteria (pictured to the left).

SECRET AGENT K KUBS

am currently conducting a secret psychological experiment to see if Christians are anymore considerate then the rest of the world. i call it, "Operation See If Christians Are More Considerate Then The Rest Of The World". in said secret mission we will be experimenting by seeing how many people on Malone's Campus actually hold the door open for other people. genius i know. but really i have to do it for psych class. This is going to be a fantastic week, tonight we're out to apple bees, apparently students are just as obsessed with apple bees here as they are back home. there will also be a rock band tournament and a goonies marathon sometime this week. in other Malone news some kids got caught making out in the prayer room in the barn (hysterical i know), and i got made CF (community facilitator). which is a floor leadership position, executive regional manager of the floor, if you will. well i think thats all for now.

Twinky & Starbucks

OK, so i have this prof for psychology, and she's a total nutter! i mean don't get me wrong i love her a lot, and she's actually really insightful but she is totally out of her mind. first off, i don't even know what her real name is because she insists that we call her Twinky. weird i know. secondly, she wears these reflective sunglasses because she has really bad sinus problems and the light hurts her eyes. thirdly, whenever we are late she sings a comercial jingle, my favorite so far has been for Pepto Bismol. Ew. She is also obbessed with Hello Kitty merch and apparal. But the weirdest thing about her is that she thinks the good year blimp is following her. She reminds me lot of Professor Tralawny (not spelled right) from Harry Potter, only she doesnt constantly remind me of my impending doom. She really is quite a character. Other than that, i'm going through decent coffe withdrawls. they only serve Starbucks here and the only thing i can order that isn't totally gross is a hot Chocolate. Very disapointing. hopefully i can take some delicious saxbys back with me.

Pizza And Waffles, The Breakfast of Campions

OK so lets talk college food. pretty much the only thing that looks edible is three things, the pizza, the waffles, and the salad. not much variety. don't get me wrong I've tried other things, tacos, meatballs, grilled cheese. all very disappointing. however there is a soft serve yogurt machine that is a nice treat once and awhile. also me and my friend Mel (once again pictures coming soon) have established a work out schedule to fight against the freshman 15. but to be honest, i walk so much I'm not too concerned.

Dorm Room Living, The Good, The Bad, And The Smelly

I'm in love with my dorm room. My bed (bottom bunk pictured to the left) is the perfect place to sleep, study (as you can see by my very strategically placed math book) and sit on. my desk (pictured to the right) is generally were i do my make-up and keep my books. other than that it is used for decorative purposes only. the only problem with our room is the heat. its unbearably hot in the daytime, even with the shades closed. also in stead of bringing a box fan Amanda brought this stupid dinky little fan (that she paid $50 for) called the Vornado. it doesn't do jack. also my clothes tend to get dirtier quicker here, and i have this pile of laundry that is stinking up my closet. the other down side to dorm living is how ridiculously dusty everything is. my allergies are so bad here i can hardly breathe. but the absolute worst part about not living at home is the bathrooms. Ew. one words pretty much covers it. the floors are so nasty and there is this ancient bathtub that looks like it used to be used for beheading people. sick. there's really only one shower that gets hot (the third one) and even then every time someone flushes it gets really cold. but at least we have our own sink in the room! The best part of our room is the entertainment corner. This is where everyone comes to congregate. snacks, a fully stocked mini fridge, TV and a bean bag chair. come on people what more could you ask for!? it's dorm room heaven!

LIfe At Malone

Life at Malone is so much different than back home. the people here are all so amazing, i seriously love the girls on my floor. my roommate Amanda isn't the person i expected at all. shes generally a very easy person to get along with. :) There's also this cute ginger named Jess who is pretty much my soul mate. All week we've been finding all these weird things in common (like we both love diet coke and regular Pepsi, sushi, paramore, and secretly wish we were black Gospel singers). so life is going pretty awesome.

“It’s 106 miles to Canton, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and I'm wearing sunglasses. I'm On A Mission From God

Honestly not looking forward to orientation. i hope to god it doesnt rain this week. see at malone you have to do comunity service during freshman orientation, and my mom kept bugging me to take a rain coat or a pancho. as you can immagine how i took that. im so not wearing a pancho, i'll freeze my ass off, but at least i won't look like a tool. I wish i could skip this part of college. I wish i could just fast forward to the fun part where i already have friends and a life established there. tommorow is going to massively suck.
