The Month of September!

So, its been an entire month since i last "blogged." I know, I know...blogging...but I guess its now one of my things! haha! Anyways, a lot has gone down this past month. First off, I moved from Eugene back to Salem. The first week I roamed around the house and cleaned up the garbage I had collected throughout the last two years. My dad came and picked me up, and he has Mitsubishi Jeep kind of car... and the entire back including the backseats wear jam packed. There wasn't a pocket of breathing air or ability to move my arms or my legs. I had to watch the lamp while balancing a basket on my lap, and making sure my long board doesn't roll onto my head. Anyways, I got home sorted trash from treasure and cleaned up room. The next week I went to CAMP, not as a counselor but as a CAMPER!!!! The camp was LEADERSHAPE at Camp Collins. It was held by the UO and 60 other students attended. It was the time of my life...everyone was super chill, and genuinely interested in each other. We broke down each others barriers and became friends and compadres. Not very often do you gain 60 friends who want you to succeed as a leader, an individual and a human being. IT WAS FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!!!!!! Anyways, there is a reunion on OCTOBER 7th, MY BIRTHDAY!!!! I know its going to be pretty sweet! After that I went back home, and lulled around the house even more. But then September 22nd I boarded a mini bus with my family(Ama, Buwa and Raj) and drove up to Seattle to board a CRUISE!!!! PARTY!!! However, on the bus, my dad was trying (a little to hard in my opinion) to be the bus comic! ugh...His act is to talk super loud and make egotistical jokes the target women and my mom. They aren't so bad...some of them are genuinely funny...but he is so LOUD! Sometimes I think he forgets that there are other people who want to sleep or focus on something else. But as we boarded the Ship things got better (per say)...The cruise overall was pretty fun. We went up to the Vancouver Islands in Canada. Stopped in Nanaimo and Victoria. We did the whole tourist thing and partied on the ship! Day 4 (which was Day at Sea) I was sea sick...but also saw Killer Whales (orcas - spelling?). That was the highlight, other than hangin' with the fam. We definitely played 20 hands of cards (oti and kali budi). Anyways 5 days later the cruise ended I moved back down to Eugene for the beginning of SCHOOL! I moved into the sorority and settled my belongings. All the other girls ("sisters") moved in a week ago and were working on recruitment. I am so OUT OF THE LOOP! while other girls are working on conversation, posture, and rotation groups...I get the exciting job of holding the door open. I know I shouldn't be critical, I mean Martha the coordinator has done fabulous a job, everything is great, but holding the door is pretty mundane! oh well! Its part of being a sister! and i truly love it. The past two days being in Eugene has been very sweet...reunion with old friends and seeing old faces was the highlight in the last two days! I hung out with my girls...Rachel, Jenny, Caitlyn, Anna, and Amelie. Played frisbee, eat thai food, meet up with Kathryn, unpacked and settled in...All in all it was an eventful month. Tomorrow is the first day of a new school year...and i will be a junior. YIKES...crunch time...I gotta get my shit together! haha!
