I can’t believe there are only four more weeks left of school! The weather outside definitely feels like summer, but aside from that it doesn’t feel like our first year of college should already be winding down. I’ll be relieved when this school year is over, only because I’ll finally be done with anatomy (I hate that class so much!) Tomorrow we have our third practical, then only one more!! Thank GOD! However, it being so close to the end of the year means I need to get on finding some liquor so I can accomplish my goal of going to my last week of classes drunk. Haha, not really. Only my nutrition and human bio classes (we’ve already worked out doing one shot before each class) those classes are joke anyway, and I can’t afford to go to my anatomy class drunk too much important information. It’s going to be so much fun!
This summer is definitely going to be interesting, though. I’ll be busier then I’ve ever been during the summer. We leave for our two week trip to Japan about a week after my final exam then I’ll be back in Williamsburg for about a month where I have to fit in working with going up to Ohio and possibly going down to Florida with Josh’s family to go to HARRY POTTER LAND! Then my apartment lease starts on July 1st so I’ll be moving up there at the beginning of July (fingers crossed I get a job up here by then). That give me about a month and a half to get settled in to the apartment and get ready for school. I’m so excited by the apartment!! It’s the second floor of a really pretty house on Grove street and only about a 13 minute walk from campus. I’ll be getting a bike as well to make the trip a little easier on cold or rainy days. We’re also going to get window boxes for our front window so we can plant flowers and fresh herbs like rosemary and mint! It’s going to be SO cute! And we’re getting a cat, woo woo!! I’m also excited to be up in Richmond in July to partake in 4th of July festivities and, of course, celebrate my birfffday!
Other then making plans for the apartment and studying anatomy I haven’t been up to much. Last weekend I went to Slaughterama with some friends. It was totally crazy! Slaughterama is this annual event in Richmond on Belle Isle. It’s mainly a shit ton of hardcore bike kids and hipsters, but lots of other kids go as well. Apparently the people of Richmond (who are not twenty-something hipsters or college kids) really resent the event because the city goes crazy with all these drunk kids running around the city. So even there’s a way higher amount of police out they kind of turn a blind eye to all the people walking back and forth to Belle Isle. It felt so reckless wandering around a campus filled with cops carrying a backpack filled with beer. The actual event was...definitely unforgettable. In order to get over to the island you have to cross this footbridge that hangs over rapid water. There were so many people crossing the bridge when we were heading over that the entire bridge was swinging back and forth. We hadn’t even started drinking and it felt like we were already drunk. It was terrifying!! Then when we got off the bridge you could see over the entire island and it was packed with hundreds of people and bikers doing tricks off of big wooden ramps. There was also a big covered area (this is where we spent the majority of our time there). In the covered area there was a huge circle of people crowded around the arena where “bike jousting” was going on, which is basically exactly like regular old-fashioned jousting just with tall bikes instead of horses. Being in the crowd around it was like being in a mosh pit at a huge concert except everyone was raging drunk, throwing cans of beer everywhere, and covered in mud which had been created by all the beer that was falling on the ground. By the time we left you couldn’t tell what color my shoes were because they were so covered in mud, my hair had been basically washed with beer and I had mud all over my legs and clothing. It was gross, but really really fun. Just being totally out of control and crazy.
In an unrelated note, I’ve been obsessed with listening to Vampire Weekend and Fleet Foxes lately. I also have decided to start putting aside money from working this summer to go to my next tattoo (which for anyone that doesn’t already know, is officially going to be Anne Boleyn’s crest, a falcon holding a scepter, on the lower right side of my back). I’ve also been having fun bonding with people in my normal group of friends other then Kae and Lauren. Matt (other Matt, not Daniel’s little brother) and I were buddies at Slaughterama (he was my designated beer backpack holder), I also spend a lot more time with Jimmie and Scott, I’m cursing the fact that none of these guys are dateable. Speaking of which, Daniel are cool now...or again, I don’t actually see him very often, he hasn’t been at any of our recent events. In general, concerning him it’s turning out that everyone else is also realizing that he’s growing kind of distant. We all blame it on the weed. I know that’s why, and it’s really just a shame aside from whatever my romantic feelings may have been I miss him being around when he’s NOT high. He’s just no fun when he smokes and everyone realizes that, I just wish there was a way to get through to him. Hopefully he just kind of....gets his act together. Who knows...based on the late night drunk text I got from Joey last night, which I would assume Daniel was behind, I’m going to guess he hasn’t been focusing on his schoolwork. That kids’ a mess. It’s unfortunate.
And in a closing note, I forgot to mention earlier, I found out a few weekends ago that I am a champion at flip-cup, and I am very excited by this new found talent. :-P
