Lil' Sibs Weekend

This coming weekend is Lil' Sibs Weekend. That means that my folks are flying my sister out to visit. I'm going to pick her up at the airport. I'm really excited. I haven't seen my sister since spring break. She went to NYC last week with the high school drama department. She suggested that I just took a train up to see her, but I was busy. I also knew that I'd be seeing her this weekend, so I just chose to wait. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with her yet. A few of my friends are having their siblings come also. I might decide to organize an excursion to Old City where the Liberty Bell is located. Honestly though, I'm really excited to see my sister. I can't wait. Well I guess I should get back to some of my other work. Off I go!

Lack of Sleep = :-(

I got out of my Biology Lab early today. Apparently, my one partner and I won't ever work in a forensics lab. We just did an experiment that required us to do those DNA slide things. I don't even know what they are called. I was in a bit of a daze after last night. I didn't get to bed until late, and then I had to wake up early. Last night was another one of our Accepted Students Overnight Visits. I had a good time, although I had to leave for parts of the night due to my weekly engineering group meetings. Overall, it turned out quite well. We are having another one of those next week. Hooray for another night with little sleep! Other than losing sleep, it is an amazing experience. Accepted high school senior(s) stay in the common room of my suite. Since Drexel's suites come equipped with a couch, the accepted student sleeps there. That means I don't have to give up my bed, and I still get the privacy of my own room (with my roommate still there of course). Usually the overnight visits consist of a Drexel Men's Basketball game, but the season is over, so we go to an improv comedy show. I really enjoyed the "Drexel Football Team." The name is suppose to be a joke, since Drexel really doesn't have a football team. For college students, they aren't that bad at all. After each improv comedy show, the group heads towards the Bubble House. I honestly love this place. The Bubble House serves bubble tea. It is a flavored tea with large tapioca bubbles. It comes with a straw large to drink the bubbles. We usually end up spitting the bubbles like a child would shoot spitballs. It is a bit juvenile, but the war is always a good time on the way back to the dorms. I love doing overnight hosting, so I would highly encourage every accepted student to come and visit this way. If you're one of the few lucky ones, you might get me as a host.

P.S. Sorry ladies, only males can host males. If you would like to be with me though, try to get Brittany. We work as a team with our overnights.

Finally Home

I just finished unpacking all of my clothes for the weekend. Apparently, today wasn't my day to walk home from 30th Street Station with a tiny umbrella. It was raining just a bit, and my bags were soaked. I guess it was my own fault for over-packing (as per usual of course), but the rain didn't have to seep through my bags to get my stuff wet. Regardless, I am currently in the tumble dry cycle in terms of washing my clothes. I have another 31 minutes before the cycle is complete. I only know the time thanks to LaundryView. As long as I'm on the Drexel network, I can see each of the washers and dryers. The site gives the status of the unit plus how much time is remaining. It is the ultimate in laziness. I love this school. Drexel is just helping me out in my pursuit of gaining another 5 pounds to get me my Freshmen 15.

Note: The Freshmen 15 is not always bad. I'm a bit (read: severely) underweight. I have a high metabolism, and I have trouble putting on weight. My doctor literally told me that I should attempt to gain 40 pounds instead of 15. So the Freshmen 15 do exist as long as you don't make an effort to work it off. I know that I need it, so I put forward no effort.

DC Trip (So Far)

I am currently sitting on my friend's bed, while I write this post. My friend goes to American University. She came to visit me awhile back, so I thought I'd return the favor. Although it is almost 2pm, we are going to take a nap. I have come to love and enjoy the action of napping. It is the best way to get everything done the day before it is due. I don't like to procrastinate, but sometimes I just can't help it. My friend and I went to the National Mall (aka where the monument are located). I'll be uploading the photos from the Mall, once I get back. I tried to go art-sy once again. I'm not too sure how good the pictures are. I would just like to throw this out there... I believe that I have matured over the short time that I have been at college. I have started to appreciate new things and understand more pertaining to the world around me. I hope that everyone can relate to the new level of maturity that comes so quickly in just one year in college. Well time for that nap! Night folks!

Pennoni Honors College

So apparently Srav thinks she is better than everyone with her multitude of posts. I have to keep all of my readers (probably only like 10) updated on my life. Last night was the first Overnight visit of the Term. Accepted students can visit Drexel and stay overnight in a dorm. My overnight visitor did not have facebook, which hurt a bit inside. I didn't know what to say to him other than he might be a terrible person. He actually was really nice, and I enjoyed having him stay in the dorm. Whenever someone comes to visit, I try to push the Pennoni Honors College upon them. Who wouldn't want to be in a suite-style dorm? The best part about the Honors College is all the perks/free stuff that we get. I highly enjoy getting to schedule classes before everyone else. I never have to worry about trying to get placed into classes that are full. The schedule that I planned is always exactly what I get.

Moral of the story: Join the Pennoni Honors College!

Easter Weekend

Since my family had to work up until Friday night, I decided to not fly home for Easter. I mean I was just home a week prior for spring break. I didn't feel it was necessary to waste that money. My friend from across the hall invited me over her house for Easter. (It was actually her mom, but who really cares?) So my friend let me borrow her king sized bed which was a step up from my home in Pittsburgh. We went shopping and had lunch with her best friend. It was quite a good time. We went to the local mall, and we went into my new favorite store, H&M. I honestly love this store so much. The only problem is that I didn't find anything that tickled my fancy. Then on Sunday, my friend's family took me to the big family dinner. I tried some new foods, but since I'm so picky, I didn't find anything new and exciting. Overall though, it was a wonderful weekend. I needed to relax because I didn't do that over spring break. My spring break consisted of constant motion, and that gets a little tiring. Well, it is time to finish my breakfast. Then, I'll be off to class.

I Must Not Lose

I was searching some of the other DWC member's blogs, and I saw that Srav also had two posts. I could not let her beat me, so I'm posting again. Today, I had my first Bio Lab of my college career. I got to use a microscope which I haven't done since freshmen year in high school. My lab instructor was so laid back. It was amazing. After class, I went to dinner with my friend from across the hall. Apparently tonight was cupcake night at the Hahns. I got to icing my own cupcake. Plus the dining hall also added a new Edy's Ice Cream machine. I got the Snickers flavored ice cream. It was amazing. I would highly suggest it to anyone that ever goes to the cafe. Well I have to get a few more things done for DWC before tomorrow. I shall not be defeated in terms of postings!

A Little Rainy

Today, Mother Nature decided to give the city of Philadelphia a little bit of water. I would like to thank her for all of her work. I just finished a bit of homework while listening to one of my favorite relaxing artists, Frou Frou. I would highly suggest listening to this group if you ever wanted to just calm down. I sometimes get stressed about the little things in life. I have found that my stress outlet is music. The calmer the music... the better. I'm always looking for new (relaxing) music. So if anyone has any ideas, feel free to toss them my way.

First Post

So I just got my orders to post for the first time on my new blog. I haven't blogged in quite some time. I usually just blog in order to get it posted on facebook. Facebook has this nifty feature that imports all of my most recent posts as a note. I would just like to start out saying that I love Facebook. It really makes my life complete. I would highly suggest anyone who currently owns a MySpace or other social network account to sign up for Facebook. I don't have a MySpace, but that is only because I have strict moral beliefs against it. Don't ask me about my beliefs. I don't have just one reason. So now onward to my day... Today was the second day of Spring Term. I had a meeting with my Co-op Coordinator, and she set me up to apply for jobs starting next month. I got to apply to the NSA through the co-op office. I can't wait to find out if I got the job for the fall. The NSA requires government clearances, so I had to be proactive on this one. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Edit: Thank you grammar police for editing my post.
