I realize that it has been almost a week since my last post! This week went SOO fast! I had lots to do during the week and then the weekend just flew like the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz. Linzy, Jessie, and Zeffy came down to visit me at good ol' UC :) We had a blast friday through sunday, at which point I got to spend time with my family! It was so nice! The best memorial day weekend ever!!! I'm glad the week went by fast so summer can arrive, but I don't want freshman year to be over!! Oh the conflicts. I'm so excited for class to be over and to be with my home frie(nd)s.
I packed up a bunch of stuff from my dorm and sent it home with my parents. It was bitter sweet (like chocolate chips.) I can NOT believe this year is almost over (less than 2 weeks.) It's nonsense I say; we just moved in like 2 days ago!! I've had a GREAT year. Learned a lot about life, people, and myself. I am super happy and have made some truly wonderful friends :D AND I MADE A BLOG! Heck yes.
This weekend involved a lot of things that I love...
1. Friends of old and new (loving each other)
2. Family
3. Tacos
4. Ice cream (Graeter's)
5. Skyline
6. Jungle Jim's
7. Parties
8. Papa Dino's cheese fries with ranch
9. Bushes
10. Driving
11. Yes - LMFAO
12. Urban Dictionary
13. Nippert Stadium

Jungle Jim's
If you have not been to Jungle Jim's, you have not lived. I am so serious. It is the best place ever. If you don't know, it's a ginormous grocery store in Fairfield Ohio, but it is not JUST a grocery store! It is THE ULTIMATE grocery store with anything and everything you could possibly imagine (food wise).
I went with my cousin Sarah who is in town from Delewhere?, her "boyfriend" Ben, her friend Gillian, and my brother Dom. We bought LOTS of stuff (well I don't have the much money so I didn't get that much, but the others did :)) We rode in Ben's dad's company car which is an Infinity. That was also fun :)
So... about the food... I at a LOT!! Mostly samples and such. I don't even know where to start! I wrote down all of the stuff that everyone bought :) I guess I could start there.We all chowed down on this stuff.
1. Mozzarella, basil, and garlic in olive oil (probably the best thing we had! Yummm)
2. Italian bread (eaten with olive oil from mozzarella and fresh cracked prepper! One of my favorite foods in the world!!)
3. Pepperoni and Mozzarella rolled - Though this was bought packaged, they actually have a mozzarella station where you can get things like this hand rolled to your liking :)
4. Bremner cracked wheat crackers
5. Scottish Cheddar cheese - so good! Gillian is from Scotland! So we wanted to get something Scottish!
6. Fennel Taralli
7. Italian dry salami
8. Kettle Brand Jalepeno Potato Chips
9. English Smiley Face Cheese
10. Lindt 90% Cocoa - GROSS!!! Tasted like cocoa powder.
11. Toblerone chocolate
12. Kinder Chocolate - had a really happy German kid on the front :) Love it.
13. Marabou Mjolk Choklad (Sweden))
14. Haribou Candy - Twin Cherries, Brix, Strawberries and Cream, and Fizzy Cola
15. Root Beer Jelly Bellies
16. Frosted Pretzels
17. Pop Chips - BBQ and Salt & Pepper
18. Kettle Chips New York Cheddar with Herbs
19. New Leaf Lemon Blue Tea
20. Pizza Crust Mix - Weisenberger - only $1! Just add water!!
21. Vosges M'os Bacon Bar - bacon and chocolate
22. Irn Bru (Scottish Soda)
23. Cadburry Buttons
24. Kalamata Greek Olives
25. Traditional French Candy
26. SILLY BANDZ - sea animals and dinos! IN THE SAME PACK! And they are multicolored! woah! Also, I got a fruit pack and a ROCKER pack! The rocker pack is so cool!

Chemistry Tests
I absolutely love chemistry tests. WHEN THEY ARE OVER! I missed two days of posts! For what you ask? Must I say it? CHEMISTRY! Booooo. Hopefully I did well. I'm not gonna say anything about it because I don't want to jinx myself (but I feel like I did a lot better than last time.) Well this is probably the most boring thing ever. I'm Carrie and I'm talking about my chemistry test... but I have some advice to give you!
LISTEN TO SOMETHING REALLY EMOTIONAL AND MOTIVATIONAL RIGHT BEFORE YOUR TEST!!
On the way to class I listened to Defying Gravity from Wicked. It actually came on my shuffle on my iPod and I got super excited! I was ready for the test! Let me tell you. In my mind I was like "i''mmmm defyyying chemistry teeeests!" I'm sorry. I'm aware this is super lame, but I am who I am, and you know you're gonna try it now.

My First Kiss
Lovin 3OH!3's new song featuring none other than Ke$ha!! That's right 3OH!3 and my girl Ke$ha! It's kinda like when 3OH!3 was featured in Ke$ha's song Blah Blah Blah
My first kiss went a little like this! (smooch) AND TWIST (smooch smooch) AND TWIST! Ha ha Ke$ha totally rocks!
Some other awesome Ke$ha songs:
1. DINOSAUR***
2. Kiss n' Tell***
3. of course... Tik Tok**
4. Stephen**
5. Your Love is My Drug**
6. Take it Off*
7. Animal
8. Boots n' Boys
9. Party at a Rick Dude's House
10. Backstabber
11. Blind
12. Hungover
13. Dancing with Tear in My Eyes
*** = FAVE
** = fave, but not as fave as ***
* = fave but not as fave as **
Yeah so that I think includes all the songs on the Animal CD :)
I also love how Ke$ha always wears glitter and holds her hair. hahaha. All year I've been talking about throwing a glitter party where it is required that you wear glitter to get in and in the party there will be glitter everywhere! The problem is where exactly to throw this glitter party... after all, there will be glitter everywhere and that MIGHT be difficult to clean up. Some day it'll happen. You'll see. Glitter party inspired by Ke$ha. And I'll be playing Ke$ha music, especially 'Take it Off' because the lyrics include "there's glitter on the floor." Oh yeah!! Glitter Party USA!

TAZA
Lately I've been dying to try TAZA, this coffee shop right by my dorm. Well today I finally got here and it's great! (except it's really hot in here) Why have I not been here before today? I just don't know...
Ok, I just walked upstairs to check it out, and there are more tables and some cool chairs. It's like a loft up there with some games (like apples to apples :)) and even the bathroom was cool! Big bowl sinks and soft soap! Soft soap is the bomb.
Aw man, I'm almost done with my Americano. Should've gotten an ugly mug... well now I know. There are a lot more things to explore here, but I feel like an idiot wandering around.. sooo I'll let you know some other time, Maybe I can get some more pictures in here... or you can just come yourself! I'll go! Haley said there is a huge hanging tv upstairs... I did not even see that. I guess I'm just overwhelmed. haha. oh man. Welp, time to do some chemistry homework in my cool new hang ;)
Catch ya on the flip side!

Cinnamon Toast Crunch - the taste you can see!
Note of Warning
So I'm thinking a lot of my posts are going to be about food. I really like food. It is great and it is rare to find a food that I don't like. So... if you don't like food then that is extremely unfortunate for you.
Cereal
I just love cereal in general! It is amazing. But especially cinnamon toast crunch man! When they have that stuff in the dining hall, sometimes it's like my dreams have come true. I personally am a fan of soy milk.. which may be a little weird, but hey, I like it and it doesn't hurt my tummy like dairy often does. HOWEVER, the dairy thing does NOT stop me from putting a little soft serve ice cream on top of my bowl of cereal :) mmmmm. I'm imagining the sugary, cinnamony goodness with the creamy milk and a little (just a plop) of cold ice cream! Delicious!!
1. Cinnamon Toast Crunch
2. Lucky Charms
3. Grape Nuts
4. Frosted Mini Wheats
5. Life
6. Waffle Crisp
7. Kix with Berries
8. Raisin Bran
9. Multigrain Chex
10. Cocoa Puffs - Kara and Jasmine eat them all the time with chocolate milk. Woah. That's intense. I personally like them to turn my soy milk chocolaty :) Did you know chocolaty is a real word? It doesn't seem like it should be a real word to me, but I'm glad it is!
Fruity Pebbles
I also really used to like Fruity Pebbles; however, I haven't eaten them since I had braces around eighth grade. I swear it took an hour to clean my mouth of the stuff. I still have a permanent retainer on the bottom, and I just don't want deal with the chaos of eating Fruity Pebbles.
Rice Krispie Treat Cereal
Have you ever had rice krispie treat CEREAL? No, it's not rice krispies, and it is not rice krispie treats; it is rice krispie treat cereal! I think it used to be the bomb! It was like rice krispie treats.. but better.. in cereal. They stopped making them, or at least I couldn't find them, but now they are not quite as good. Still good, but not AS good.
Cheerios with Honey vs. Honey Nut Cheerios
Just a little trick I learned from my favorite big brother, Dominic. It's way better to put honey on your plain cheerios than to eat honey nut cheerios. Just sayin.

Silly Bandz
Are you up on the newest FAD? That's right Silly Bandz are IT. They are colorful rubber bands that take the form of animals until you wear them as a bracelet and they just look like weird, squiggly rubber bands. And that's the beauty of it! Because someone says "Hey, what's that weird squiggly thing on your wrist?" and you're like "Oh! Let me show you ... it's a DINOSAUR!!" Yeah that's right! These things really are fantastic. I usually keep around 2 or 3 on my wrist so I can spread them wherever I go. I say "Hey wanna see something cool?" Then I rave about my dinosaur silly band and share one with someone else so they too can spread the fad. It's quite a fantastic system.
I personally am a fan of the dinosaur silly bandz, though they come in many varieties including SEA CREATURES which I have yet to encounter, but I'm pretty excited about them :)
