I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!

No. I’m not legitimately “declaring” bankruptcy. If you don’t know what I just quoted…then…you should come to UTA so that we can be The Office friends.

In about 640 days, I will be heading to England. It’s happening. I am beyond excited. This summer, I will go to Japan for 15 days to visit my family’s foreign exchange student that lived with us for a year 3 years ago. I’m on my way to becoming a world traveler! Yay life!

UT Arlington has 80 programs in 40 countries including New Zealand, Spain, and Leicester, England (where I’m going to go). Check out The Shorthorn’s study abroad blog! I know a  lot of people that say the one thing they regret about college is not studying abroad. So if you’re reading this and you’re in college…GO SEE A STUDY ABROAD ADVISOR TODAYYY. I’m convinced it will change my life. Plus, ever since I was a kid I’ve loovvedd England. Absolutely everything about it appeals to me…except the weather. But then again…I live in Texas. I’m used to stupid weather. I love medieval architecture and the history of England. Dramatic stuff. It’s exciting.

You should Youtube “Star Wars according to a 3 year old”. It’s an exccittiinngg video. :)

Sooooo, The Office. Date Mike. Where to begin…I still don’t know where to begin…

“Guess what? I have flaws. What are they? Oh I dunno, I sing in the shower? Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I’ll hit somebody with my car. So sue me– no, don’t sue me. That is opposite the point I’m trying to make.” That is all. That wasn’t from the Date Mike episode…but it’s still an epic Michael Scott quote.

Apparently I put a “bottle full of sunshine and gold velvet particles” on my hair. That was a Sam Watson quote. That sounds luscious.

Today is my sister, Jordon’s, 24th birthday. Shoutout timeee! Happy Birthdayyy, Jordon!!

My Star Wars name is Cairh Josul.

I just took a quiz that told my Star Wars name. Neato.

I really like how the cover of our campus newspaper, The Shorthorn, says, “Mild winter weather expected”. Oh, really? Mild? It’s FA-REEZING. I’m dreaming of Mild. Because of El Nino, it’s supposed to get warmer. Yay for that! I opened up the newspaper about 3 minutes ago and a special little piece of paper fell out. A coupon…to the bookstore. That’s right! Definitely something to hold onto. The last time a coupon fell out of The Shorthorn, my best friend, Alex, used it as wrapping paper for our office Christmas party.

The madness happened yesterday afternoon here in Davis Hall. MavElite and White Elephant are like Marco and Polo…Peas and Pods…Meat and Potatoes…Jim and Pam…special. There was an “Edward Scissorhands” DVD and a scarf being stolen like crazy. Then…there was a manicure set. I won’t say what the gender is of the young gentleman person that fought for it…but it was very good.

“Very good” is my new favorite phrase. My room mate and I were filling out an evaluation for our PolySci class and we laughed at how some of the options to describe how our professor taught was “Excellent” and “Good”…then there was “Very good”. Does anyone ever say that? Unless describing a meal? “Hey, let’s go to a movie tonight!” “Very good!” Umm..no. So yes…it’s my new favorite phrase. I’m bringing it back…like Justin.

Today was the last day of classes. I’ll really miss my FIG class. That’s one of the classes I shared with my closest friends and I LOVE my teacher, or student PAL as he’s officially known. Oh, well! Next semester brings new adventures…and professors.
