Taking Care of Business

First of all, how does everyone like the new addition of my playlist? A few of my favorite songs that have become the soundtrack for my adventure! So, I went home for a week for Thanksgiving, I got into town and had lunch with a few friends at Chick-Fil-A (which I have REALLY missed, we need one out here!) and then went to the Saturday night show of the Statesboro Youth Ballet's Nutcracker, it was really good to see everyoe again, and I was very pleasantly surprised that they all screamed and ran to hug me when I walked in the door, and they all were very intrested in hearing all about what I'd been doing out here. The rest of the week I hung out with some friends, went to a few White Christmas rehearsals, and did some Christmas shopping/decorating. I was supposed to have Thanksgiving with my family (shout-out to Aunt Lori!) at my Grandmama's house, but she was sick, so our plans changed, we ended up going out to eat a RJs, all and all it was a really good week, it made me happy to know I still had my life back home and I could easily fall back into place there, and when I cam back to Vegas I easily fell right back into place with my friends here.

So now I have 10 days left in the semester, just a short short while until I go home once again, and there's a LOT of stuff to do in those 10 days. As Elvis said I'll be Taking Care of Business, that has become a mantra of mine and I feel it really helps me get the job done, Thanks Elvis! So the next week and a half are going to be crazy busy, but hopefully there will still be time for fun! It's hard to believe I'm almost done with my first semester of college! Where did the time go? I don't know. TCB

GA Bound

I'm a few hours away from taking off from Vegas and going back home for Thanksgiving. I'm very excited to see everyone and catch up...but it's gonna be sooooo different back in the 'Boro, surreal almost. Anyway I'm going to soak up some southern culture again before I come back for the last two weeks of the semester. Later.

Vegas Family Adventures: The Hangover

WARNING: this post contains information that may be too intense for some followers, if you do not wish to find out some of the crazy things that go on in college (especially in Vegas) I suggest you skip this post . :)

Soooo, "that party last night was awfully crazy, I wish we taped it..." cue record scratch! haha, no. Last night my roomate and I went to a party at her boyfriend ( for lack of a better definnition)'s house. It was the same group of people we'd hung out with before at Red Rock and Mandalay Bay, with a few new additions. Anyway, we both planned on NOT getting drunk, but as these things go, sometimes your plans get foiled...there was Purp, Trop and Shots involved and I was definitly feeling it. I felt nauseous, queezy, and was kinda scared. I knew Alecsa was in no way ready to come home, nor was she in anyway in condition to drive. So...who do I call? Troy. He had texted me earlier and told me if I needed him for anything to call, well I needed him. So I found out the directions to this place and waited for him and Romie to show up. They saved the day, picked me up, even got me McDonalds on the way back to my dorm, they walked me upstairs and made sure I got into bed. "You guys are so sweet" "What are you talking about?" "Well, she is!"

Well into the night my naseousness took over...3 times...gross. And I woke up with a terrible headache, yup HANGOVER...I called Troy like he asked me to, so he could make sure I was okay (softie at heart.) and told me he'd call me later. So around 4 he invited me to go for sushi with him and Romie! He had to go to rehearsal for Hellcab (the show he's directing) and then he said they'd pick me up. At this point I was feeling MUCH better and really wanted to make sure their impression of me wasn't that of a drunk slob kabob. haha. So, we went for sushi at a restaraunt inside the Fashion Show Mall ( a favorite place!) and it was really good, Troy got the Viva Las Vegas roll "for you!" he said, haha he knows me! And we all chatted about crazy nights in college and recovering from them, I'm so glad they were there for me, I love them so much, and even though it wasn't an ideal situation, really it was perfect, because I now have another memory with my Vegas family.

My Girls

My girls out here are: Alexe, Ginny, Britney, Kimberly and Megan! Love these gals!

Last night we had a Girls Night Out and went to dinner at California Pizza Kitchen, we saw Kat Von D at Border's too! (didn't meet her :(, but still cool...someday!) and to see Due Date, HILARIOUS!

I spent the night at Alexe's house, and might again, it's fun doing old school sleepover stuff! And tonight we're going to see the So You Think You Can Dance? Tour at Planet Hollywood!

love having fun with my VEGAS VIXENS!!!

This Week Rocks!

nooooo Music Theory (my least favorite class) ALL week! and it's a 3 day week which means 4 day weekend, which means more time for FUN!

New Favorite Places

Dick's Last Resort: located in The Excalibur, this is a SUPER FUN restaurant with a twist, the waiters and waitresses are intentionally rude to you, sounds strange I know but it's super fun, and the food is awesome!

Fashion Show Mall- AMAAAAZING mall on the strip, seriously every single store you could ever want, including my favorite: Bettie Page Clothing <3...can't wait to go back!

Peppermill- this is an awesome 24 hour restaurant right next to The Riviera, NEON EVERYWHERE, and an extensive menu with large entrees, I highly reccomend the Fantasia Fruit Waffle! yum! oh, and they give you a postcard with your picture on it!

My Week

First of all I'd like to show some love to my new follower: Flaviane, you rock! And before it officially became the weekend I wanted to recap my week.

Monday- went to class, went shopping with Alexe, The Fashion Show Mall is AMAAAZING! and the DC had an ice cream bar with cherries! yum!

Tuesday- I got a call from Troy saying that our friend Travis was coming to town on tour with his theatre company! He got into town that night and Troy and I went to pick him up, we went out to dinner at The Peppermill  because Trav wanted somewhere really Vegas-y "you can't get more Vegas than Peppermill..." we had a really great time catching up with him, I love how crazy and random it was that we were all here...then we went to Wal-Mart to pick up some essentials for Travis...Troy had obviously never been shopping with Travis, hahaha and then we said goodnight.

Wednesday- I skipped school (shhhhhh!) to go see Travis perform his show with Chamber Theatre "we saw the shit out of Chamber Theatre..." "how many people can say that?" "we saw the shit out of Chamber Theatre?...2" haha, and that was really fun, then we went to lunch and said good-bye to Travis :(, but he might be back soon...

Thursday- back to class...then Alexe decided to skip Math (I'm a bad influence!) haha and we went out to lunch and wound back up on campus at the library...more entertaing than it sounds "Midgets!"

Friday- My dance seminar class is on this day, and this week was really cool, we had a class with Cirque Du Soliel! It was amazing, I really love that I have these kinds of oppertunitites, and even though it was challenging, it left me feeling encouraged, that I could do something like that...I would love to work for Cirque! (ummmm Viva Elvis anyone?!) and then OF COURSE Alexe and I hung out for the rest of the day :).

kind of a random week, but definitly a fun one! this is what I love about this adventure, and about Las Vegas, anything can happen!
