Anyway, so my Saturday was pretty laid back yet again. I was up until 2AM doing laundry because the machines here suck the same thing the bus system does ;) ! I was also surprised by roommate. One of her friends back home surprised her with a visit and ended up crashing here for the night. Her name is Shelby I believe. I didn't say much to her, but she seemed nice. Some more of Kristen's friends are here tonight. I believe their names are Whitney and Katy. They're staying the night and all of them are going back home to Indy for the rest of the weekend.
Back on subject, I woke up around 8AM, got ready, and grabbed some breakfast. I came back and watched a movie before going to my first interview of the day. I talked to Andrea, a very nice girl from New Jersey, about being an out-of-state student and all that jazz. She was very informative and classy, while I was in my weekend mode! She is in a similar boat as me: the adjusting from metropolitan suburb to Podunk nowhere boat! I chatted with her and her roommate for a while afterwords before parting ways. They had some other plans, or we would have spent the afternoon chatting up a storm.
I came back to my room with some food, and I proceeded to re-watch my movie for earlier. When that was done, it was time for me to go to interview #2. I talked to a guy named Daniel from North Carolina. He's originally from New York, so he has a combo accent. It was kinda funny to listen to. He's a T-Com major, so he gave me lots of information and quotes to work with, which is what every journalist loves! We chatted for about an hour and were constantly going off subject. I actually found out that he sits right in front of me in my NEWS 105 class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! He was kinda cute, so I ended my "work day" on a cute note ;)!
I came back to my room again and began to work on the story. I got a bit distracted with some other stuff and then got hungry. So I went back to LaFolette (the closest dorm to mine with food) and grabed some dinner. You know, some of the food here really sucks or is sketchy looking. But the soup here is awesome. Loaded baked potato soup and cheddar broccoli soup are my top favs. The chicken noodle soup is good depending on where you get it.After consuming my grub, I began to watch this same movie for a third time. I worked on my story for a while, too, but I am calling it a night. My creative juices are running on E. I will now proceed to Facebook stalk people, make some phone calls, watch this movie again along with others, and go to bed at a reasonable time.
Now about this movie I keep watching. So last night, I had a homesickness flash. For some reason, this flash caused me to have a multi-flashback dream. It started off with the time I drove to Iowa City with my dad, and these damn trucks scared the crapola out of me by surrounding the car! It then went into me yelling at my dad for taking to long in the Iowa-80 truck-stop. He could spend days in there if you let him. Then, the dream ended with me watching Smokey and The Bandit (starring Burt Reynolds). I woke up thinking I haven't seen that movie in forever and the last time I saw it, I was with my dad. There must be something funky in the water here, but I spent $3.00 on iTunes to rent that damn movie and for some unknown reason (probably because I'm so bored), I have watched in a million and one times today. I'm scared to death of semi-trucks, but I do like Sheriff Buford T. Justice in this movie. He's funny!
I would bet a million bucks that when my dad sees this, he will laugh his arse off and never let me live it down, but not only did I rent the movie. But I also bought the damn Eastbound and Down song! I'm off my rocker here in Indiana! SAVE ME! I always find some symbolism behind what I watch and listen to, so let's analyze:
East bound and down Muncie is eastbound and down from Aurora
loaded up and truckin' We did load up the van but vanned it to get here (no truckin')
We're gonna do what Well, I'm sure there are some doubters about me and college.
they say can't be done So, I'm going to "get-er-done!"
We've got a long way to go I am 5 hrs from home, which does seem long.
and a short time to get there But I do got 4 years here, which does seem short.
I'm east bound Indiana is east of Illinois
just watch ol' Bandit run I hate running so I wouldn't have people watch me!
I am so damn creative! Anyway, I'm going to watch The Dukes of Hazard movie with Jessica Simpson now. So remember this: I am only Eastbound and down! Come visit whenever, call me when you ned to hear my lovely voice, or look here when you need to read my creative words! I love you!
