and all the roads we have to walk are winding, and all the lights that lead us there are blinding

like you already knew...im a little retarded...and i have never been able to whistle. so that was this weeks goal. we went on a hike and i annoyed stacey trying to learn how to whistle the whole way. i got a lot better but by no means can i do it yet. and im already making plans to learn how to whistle with my fingers. except only guys can do that. whats with that? what about me being a girl makes it impossible to do things like that. LAME. YES THAT WAS A LOUD ONE. im practicing whistling at the moment. u know when ur going about ur everyday life and u realize there are lots of obnoxious things that don't exactly get documented as obnoxious things. ok obviously ppl who honk their horns too much and chomp their gum (guilty) and say song lyrics wrong clearly make the list of annoying things. but these....oh man....these ones are the worst.
1. being the first to open the hand soap. those dispensers? some ur supposed to pull really hard up until the thing pops out, others u have to twist them like 47 times. these are the times they need directions. not on shampoo bottles. and WHEN THE SHAMPOO BOTTLES HAVE NUMBERS TO CALL. honestly i would call if they put the number for the soap-help line. not to be confused with self-help. thats a different number.....that i would also call?? 
2. UGG WALK - ok so 52 degrees in the morning and getting up for class and putting on sandals sounds awful so NATURALLY u put on uggs. if ur warm it makes goin to class easier riiiight? NO. because by the time its 11:30 and class is over and u have to walk home and the sun has decided that its going to be the hottest effing day of the year - this is where ugg walk comes in. that HOT sweaty scuffly shuffly cant-pick-up-your-feet-cuz -its-too-hard-holding-six-books (that ur mad u brought to class cuz ur teacher didnt even make u open them)-and -thirteen -grocery- bags SWAGGER. its terrible. and u most definitely know what im talking about. (dont ever confuse this with the SHOPPING-ugg walk).
3. words that shouldnt be spelled the way they are spelled. like february. enough said. 
4. when the R and L gets rubbed off of ipod headphones. i have a mini heart attack every time i go to listen to music and i don't know if theyre in the right ears. 
*subcategory of annoying things about ipods. when ur scrolling through ur ipod and it says The Beatles. The Beetles. TheBeatles. Beatles. Beetle,The. kill me. why do u think i spent an entire weekend fixing those devils. 

ok. theres more where that came from. but theres a fly trying to find the 5 ft open window in my room and its smacking against the side.....idiot.

rock me mama like the wind and the rain, rock me mama like a southbound train

it was may 1st three hours ago and i had a heart attack about it. apparently now its may 4th. the clock is ticking. and i know this because every 30 minutes my watch beeps -24 hours a day, 7 days a week. i guess thats what i get for buying a stupid cheapo watch that doesnt even work. constant reminders of my freedom slipping through my fingers. and what am i doing? i spent the last 5-6 hours dicking around on my stupid mac cuz its angry at me. wow sorry i dropped you jeeeesus, but seriously - the thing is borderline suicidal. and the 3 hours before that we spent sitting at a buffet stuffing our faces and people watching. now theres a whole lot of things in that one sentence that i thoroughly enjoy. especially because i did witness a larger woman filling up her ice cream cup, excuse me bowl..no i'm sorry what i meant was PLATTER with approximately 8-10 servings of fro yo. i mean good god woman, sorry about the tremors china - but this lady means business. anyways enough with that. all i have to say is that i cant believe this year is almost over. i absolutely 100 percent am going to lose my mind at the thought. i mean we have always said that - wow where did time go? wow where did the week go, the month the year WHERE DID MY LIFE GO. its just absolutely insane that i showed up here with a suitcase (or 2) and no idea where i was gonna live and no clue what to expect and now my life is here - little did i know that i was gonna be living in a shithole 5 bedroom apartment with 15 klepto roomates from all over the place and that i was gonna have to live without a dryer and a garbage disposal and i was gonna have to cook with propane. i never foresaw any of that - but now that it is going to end i actually cant believe that my life has ever been different. im not quite sure that im gonna be able to adjust back into american life - i mean ya sure i'll fit right back in with the whole in-n-out, taco bell, wendys at midnight and dennys runs...BUT everything else im not ready for. i will never ever take for granted how lucky i am for the life i have this year. i wish every person in the world could experience even an OUNCE of the freedom we experience every day even when were dirt poor. never.leaving.europe.
