2 More Days Until I'm Free!

I love Rexburg. Don't get me wrong. It's one of my favorite places. And having a car this semester has helped tremendously with the feeling of not wanting to be here, but...yes there is a but. I have been going crazy. Why is it that I have more drama here at college than I did in high school? Is that really how it is supposed to be? I was always under the impression that high school was the drama infested stage of life. Apparently not. I'm excited to leave and get out.

As for what I'm doing. Hmm. It's new and exciting! I'm not going to Utah for Thanksgiving like I did last year. I'm going to Washington! In Tacoma to be exact. It's right outside Seattle apparently. I don't know. I've never been there.


Two of my roommates are from there and my twin, Katie (below), invited me to go home with her for Thanksgiving. I'm way excited! I've never been farther west than Rexburg, so it will be fun. We'll be leaving on Friday at 1 after our classes. We're planning on driving straight through which would land us there at about 1am. This is only if the passes are clear and safe enough to drive through at night. It could get kind of dangerous because no one else will be up there at that time of night. Hopefully cellphones will work up there. We are bringing lots of blankets just in case something does happen and we end up breaking down or something.



So now in case you're wondering why I called Katie my twin. There are a few different reasons.
1. We have the same name. We both go by "Kate" and "Katie".
2. On top of that, we have the exact same initials. KEW.
3. We, obviously by the picture, have the same sort of personality.
4. We both say a lot of the same things...and if we didn't, we have picked up on sayings that each other say.
5. We have the same temperment. Kind of amusing actually.
and...
6. We both say really stupid things quite often. We're both on the quote wall for many of these occurances.

While we're at her house, things will get kind of confusing. Here at school she goes by Katie while I go by Kate. At home, however, she goes by Kate. So there will be Kate and Kate. ha. I'm excited. It will be fun.

We will document the road trip, hopefully I'll put pictures up. If not, check my facebook. They will get there sooner than on here.

Have a good Turkey Day! Gobble Gobble!

Halloween!

Halloween...oh what a fun day! Friday night we carved pumpkins. Ours was the best. I don't have a picture of Amanda and Brent's pumpkin, but just know ours was amazing. It was supposed to be Pumpkin Frankinstein. It didn't turn out like that, but it still looked pretty cool.

On Halloween, I spent part of it at my apartment watching NCIS and then I finally got up the energy to go to the library to do my homework. You all would be proud. I've been working really hard at not doing homework on Sunday's (my Religion class doesn't count...it's religion on Sunday...that's how it should be) so I've been going to the library so my amazingly fun, yet distracting roommates won't be able to distract me. After that, we went to dinner, kinda in a triple date, and then went to a Haunted House. It was fun. I got scared, screamed often, and had a blast. When we got home, we played games. It was fun.
