National Free Hug Day!! (x2)

Today was National Free Hug Day!! We made shirts. Bright pink ones. With the words "FREE HUgS" written on them. (Yes, the lowercase g was on purpose.) We got lots of hugs and made some new friends. It was rather enjoyable. Not to mention I was wearing a pair of sweet new squirrel shorts I got at Target Boutique. That just made it so much better.

As for the rest of life, we haven't really been up to too much lately. The infamous San Diego trip is this weekend. We don't even know who all is going yet. Exciting.

We've discovered a few random things over the past few days though:

1. Parrots are the most annoying bird ever. Large droves of them fly over daily, squawking their heads off. I often wish I had a pistol and good aim.

2. Scooters are, inexplicably, all the rage. Everyone has one!! From the ghetto black girl to the random girl who wears medieval clothing, from the jock guy to the skater dude. It's a weird fad that we do not quite understand. Is it really that necessary to tote a scooter with you at all times so you can get places a little bit quicker? Just leave earlier, for Pete's sake! Not to mention, scooter riders look rather hilarious while getting jostled nearly off said scooters while riding over the cobblestones. Ha! My personal "favorite" part of these lovely transportation items is their handles. Apparently, the handles are very large, and having them fold in two inches makes a huge difference. Yeah...

3. I recently realized that the ceilings in Alpha's hallways are really low. If I run and jump, I am inches away from smashing my head open on the lights. Flirting with death is quite fun and I do it often.

4. Yet another flaw with our wonderful dorm is the door handle to the stairway. It has already broken off once during our time here, necessitating the door being propped open, even though it is a fire door and supposed to remain closed at all times. The people who fix things "fixed" it. It is now falling off again. We are going to get stuck in this death trap one of these days.

5. We also found a money hiding/study spot. It will remain nameless.

6. Lastly, there is an extremely awkward guy who goes to this school. (He also rides a scooter. Go figure.) Every single time we see him, we marvel at his hair. It is quite a work of...art? I don't even quite know how to describe it. It is short in the back and sprouts out in the front like...alien hair? Very similar to Mario in some ways. It's just downright odd.

Well, time to catch some zzz. That's all for now, folks!
