Its been quite a while since I have posted anything but I swear I have good reasons why. School is still great and yadda yadda so on and so forth. But there are somethings that have been on my mind for a while that have had me quite distracted. I miss the south. Every little thing about it I miss. Did you know they dont have sweet tea up here?!?! Its hell in Indiana Pa, it has been snowing for the past week and if you know anything about me its that I hate cold, with a passion, I wish it would swallow a knife. Like sit down for a cup of tea (but it wont be sweet cause we are in the north!!!) and swallow a freakin knife!!!!! Yeah it seems a bit dramatic but let me take you through a typical day at IUP.
So if you go on to the IUP website they will show you pictures like this
well this is the suposive view from my dorm window... well this is what it really is
same building, Im not lying. It has been non stop snowing for weeks! and people have told me that this is freak winter and we got it easy this time usually it snows from late october to late march. UGHHHH!!!!!! At first I was the naive southern girl who got all excited over snow because we dont normaly see it down south. I learned to quickly hate it. How the hell do northerners live like this??
Another this is when it is not snowing the weather is like this
If you cant tell thats really nasty rain. It always rains... always. I dont really like to get wet unless im in a pool, lake or shower. Im a girl, a southern girl at that it takes me an hour or more just to get ready and if my work of art is ruined I get mad. And maybe if we are lucky and the sun is actually shining it is windy as it could be.
So this kind of brings me to what has been on my mind for a while. I miss bein in the south, I miss the food, the weather, the hospitality, sports ( people dont even go to football games!! in the south it is just as important as goin to church!) and most of all SWEET TEA!!!
I have been more homesick than I ever have been before and when I say home I dont really mean where my mamma is but the south.. anything below the mason-dixin line. its like a different place down there and its where I wanna be. So I have been thinking of transfering, to either USC, UA, or College of Charleston. I just need to be wrapped in a blanket of southerness and given the biggest mason jar you can find of sweet tea. Im worse than a fish out of water cause the atleast the fish dies quick ... Im a southern belle in the north, Im left to suffer...slow and painfully(and freezing!)
All I have is my country music, my cowboy boots and my lipton tea packets with tons of sweetner to keep me alive for the time being.
So for all yall out there SOS Southern belle in distress!!!!!!!
peace, love, and sweet tea <3
so im back at school as a second semester freshman at the oh so lovelycoldwindy; okay im back at IUP. This semester i not only am starting as a history education major but i get to start my deaf ed minor. all my classes are just amazing and my teachers are just they greatest people ever. even though its only been three days this is the time where i feel my education is falling in place, im taking classes that im going to need to teach in the long run and im having a blast in them. I LOVE THIS SEMESTER!!!! i know later on i will hate it but im on a new classes high right now.
im also so happy to be reunited with my PBr family! last semester i pledged the most wonderful Phi Boota roota and now i have a wonderful family that will be there for life. it makes me so happy to have people that i know will be there no matter what i do and protect me when i need it and i would do the same for them.i sound like im Italian when i talk about them... always talking about this big family you love no matter what! but with out them i would not have found my identity. i know oh sappy me but they make me happy.
anyway this semester should be fun, a lot of work, but fun! some changes might happen, things on the "to do" list might be done and maybe some even crazier things (think body piercing...if i grow the balls to do it)
also i have been completely obsessed with this cover soooo here it is
so i decided to try this whole blogging thing. i have tried it once before posted twice and gave up; but with the new year here i thought i would try it again. i will not call this a new years resolution because then like everyone who plans on working out everyday, i will quit, so this is more of a challenge. i plan to open up and blog my life ( or what there is of it) and just let out what im thinking. just hang in there with me and i will promise i will make this worth your while. so to all those who are reading this thank you for joining me in this little challenge of mine.this post will not be anything amazing just my introduction on what exactly i am doing and if there is anything you would like me to write about please tell me i need suggestions!!! thanks for reading i promise they will get more interesting!

p.s. i plan on posting a song at the end of each post, just a little something i am listening to at the moment
