Another College Blog

  I went to see the Barbie movie with Mia and let's just say, she had very different ideas about what was appropriate for me to wear to the Barbie movie and what was appropriate for her to wear to the Barbie movie.  I won't lie, it was embarrassing.  Girls would see me and say "Hi Barbie" and I'd have to respond "Hi Barbie".  Mia wore pink as well, but she managed to do it without looking like a girly girl. I wasn't as lucky. There was a photo backdrop and a Barbie box in the lobby so naturally I had to pose for pictures.  That was embarrassing because there were a lot of girls waiting for me to get my picture taken so they could get there's done. Mia posted tonight that she intended to make me stay blonde. I don't know if she was just teasing or what, but she's out and I can't get ahold of her.  I'm not happy.

  So, I just read Mia's latest post.  I figured I should probably update you on more than just my hair.  This summer as you know I'm working at the diner and the job isn't bad, but honestly the money is going for things like this dress. I think I'd like the job more with more freedom to spend my paycheck on what I wanted to spend it on. I am moving in with Dave again. I don't know how thrilled he is about that because he knows as well as I do that we're going to have to girly up our place. I'm hoping I can get the girls to be reasonable. I don't care if my apartment is a little girly, but if it's girlier than their own apartments, I won't be happy. My big fear is that I'm living 24/7 as a woman for the most part this summer. I have blonde hair, shaped eyebrows, and my appearance is just getting more and more extreme.  I worry about what happens if my friends from home, my sisters, or my parents pay a visit to take me to lunch or something. I...

  So why am I posing for all these pictures? Unfortunately, the girls have found a couple of threats on me that scare me to death.  The pictures are pretty bad, but the videos are much worse.  Today, I made a few TikTok dance videos and of course they loved it, but it was so embarrassing.  I'm kind of in a spot where this is really embarrassing, but what they could do is so much worse. Unfortunately for me, Allison had he sister send her some of the dresses she left behind so that I could have them.  She says it will save me money shopping, but it's still more dresses and skirts I have to wear.  As you can see, I had to shave my legs again this weekend.

  I missed blogging yesterday.  I feel pretty bad about it because I know that when I start missing it can be a habit.  It's no different in blogging than in basketball. Anyway, I talked more with Ashleigh and we agreed to hangout at her place tonight. I'm nervous just because I'm totally new to college dating. I'm actually kind of new to dating period. In high school, we'd all just kind of hang out. Anyway, she seems really easy to talk to and I think we'll have a good time if I just calm myself down a bit.  Even Dave is impressed that I'm going out with a sophomore.

  Even though classes haven't started yet, I've learned a few things about college life. It happens real fast. The girl you think is hot one day, turns out to be a real bitch the next. Friendships are being made and lost by the hour and that's way faster than I'm used to.  Found some great guys to hang out with today playing pool and video games. I want to go to some college parties though and tonight seems to be a good night for them as classes start for real on Thursday. I have met the roommate and he is alright. I think we'll get a long fine.  

  My parents and sister helped me move in today and it was bitter sweet. I'm looking forward to the next chapter of my life, but for them, it was sad seeing me go off to college. We did the usual stuff--toured the campus, got my keys, and moved all my stuff into the dorm.  I've already been warned that the food here sucks so it was great that mom and dad bought me out to a decent meal before they left. There was a Chinese place here and I think The Bamboo Dragon is probably even less authentic then the name, but it was still good.  Great Views Okay, living in the same dorm as girls is going to be wild. This is Rebecca or Beccs as she prefers. She's actually taller than I am, but I like tall girls. She also seemed really nice and of course being tall she played basketball in high school too. Anyway, I got a picture of her as the first girl I talked to in college and she was pretty awesome too!  We are making plans to make plans to hang out, which is cool. The other vi...

Basketball has always been an important part of my life and I was disappointed when I didn't get a single scholarship offer despite averaging over 12 points and four rebounds in leading Valley to the state playoffs. I'm sure my height had a lot to do with it. I'm not even average height for a guard, but I make up for it with quickness and a shooting touch (35% from three-point range last season). Plans Change I was so determined to prove myself that I was going to walk on at DuPont this year. I know that I can play well enough to make the team here. I've watched them practice and I am sure I would be starting by sophomore year, but then what? I'm not good enough for the NBA and it's not like they're scouting DuPont anyway. I decided that instead of busting my butt in this dead end basketball dream, I would just be a normal student (though I'm going to kick some serious butt in intramurals). Besides, the girls at college are hot and I can use the tim...
