Life is boring, when you are packing

I have to pack my life in 100 lbs. or less and it is going to be tough. How am I supposed to fit 8 months of life in 100 lbs. I couldn't even do it for this last 2 months while being in the united states where I could get extra stuff if needed. How am I supposed to do it? I haven't a clue.

Well yesterday I went with the parental unit to shop for some of the basics. I got jumbo sizes of shampoo and conditioner (dove cooling shampoo and conditioner, I'm kinda particular), hair stuff, and a grip load of well we will just call it 'girl stuff'. Hopefully this will hold me for the majority of the year.

Now I'm getting rid of clothes and weeding out what I will and will not take. On the bright side many needy families will be getting nice clothes at discount rates (hooray for goodwill). so yeah long process, sad process, time consuming process.

The end.

Adventure has started, but not in Argentina

Well my summer has been full of adventures that is for sure. With doing Matchbox and gallivanting all around the Midwest (which sucks in the summer because of the stupid humidity). To be on a Roadtrip with my sister in-law and seeing miracles happen it has been amazing. So we made it from Los Angeles to Berrien Springs Michigan all in one piece, hooray!

Well Andrews is full of adventures let me tell you. tonight was probably the worst weather I've ever been in ( Remember I'm from Los Angeles we just get heat waves) and tonight was quite interesting too.

Okay so I'm kinda of a night owl and decided that I would shower because I helped my sister in-law move into her apartment where there is no air conditioning and had to lug heavy boxes up to the second floor. So I go into the little bathroom and try turning on the shower I go for the hot water knob and it breaks. 'great' I think to myself. but this knob has been on the verge of breaking so I don't feel that bad. But I really want to shower and so whats wrong with a cold shower? Well I couldn't muster up the courage to get my hair wet because it was freezing cold.

So I thought i could try fixing it. It can't be that hard right? So after tightening and loosening and injuring myself (pinched my left pointer finger and now I have too blood blisters) I finally get the hot water on. hooray! I take my shower and get squeaky clean.

As I was trying to turn off the shower though low and behold I couldn't get the hot water to turn off. So after tightening and loosening to no avail. I call my brother (who is still in CA finishing up his work till he comes tomorrow) and tell him the whole situation.

*Side note*my sister in law is asleep this entire time.

He laughs at me and says to 'quit breaking his shower' and passes the phone to my dad. My dad gives me tips but alas I have already tried them (I really am quite handy) so they tell me to call campus security. I call they send I guy (they security guys here actually look like security people they even have night clubs, not at all like Union and there polo shirts)over and I tell him what to do. He does it and goes on his marry little way.

So after all that time with the shower and the crazy weather I am ready to go home far far away from Andrews.

I just wonder what more adventures I will have.
