Cell Phones, Surfing, and Other Adventures
It seems to me that not much has been going on, but in retrospect, there have been a few notable things occurring.
First, my cell phone died (suddenly and dramatically, surely it is my phone!). I had to get it replaced and instead of buying a new phone out of pocket, I signed a new contract with my provider and got a super duper fancy phone (so basically I don’t know how to use it) for free. It has Bluetooth technology and a camera, neither of consequence to me, but the antenna works better than my old phone so while I thought my network sucked before, it turns out that for the most part dropped calls were the fault of my phone.
Gwen and I have gone surfing twice and we’re heading out to the beach this weekend as well. We’ve had some delightful company as well including Isaac (my new roommate), and friends of Gwen, Jeff and Valerie. Our adventure on the 4th of July proved to be quite eventful. The day started with an inadvertent detour to Baltimore when I missed our exit, there were TONS of cops out (being a holiday), we sat on the beach behind the water polo team who were absolutely ridiculous and incredibly entertaining, my swimsuit top hook broke (by the grace of god, during the one private moment I had all day in the porta-potty!), we ran into a freak heat storm on the way back, and experienced the unbridled joy of paying only $2.63 per gallon at a gas station we scoped out. The surfing itself is coming along…. I have the inclination to stand up on my board, I’ll let you know how that works out.
Other than that, I finally finished Statistics and got an A! I’m trying to quit smoking again/still, and I’m bleaching my hair blonde though currently it’s orange. So now I'm taking management accounting, we have two surf dates before Gwen leaves for Indiana, and Kyra, Jaime, Fred and I went dancing where I discovered a band called Mana (Mexican Ska - wrap your mind around that if you dare!).
