LDR

Many people know I'm in a long distance relationship with a Navy Corpsman.  We have been a part for 2.6 years, and ohhh man can it be rough.  I have always wondered if being in a Long Distance Relationship would benefit us in the long run, and based on what I'm noticing with other couples around us, it most certainly will.  I'm so blessed to have him, and I can't wait for him to return from Spain in less than a month!

Dear KARM,

Alexa gave me the idea to write a blog so you girls know what I’m up to, and seeing that I already have one, I figured that would be a good idea. I’ll just update you on how Rhode Island is, and what all I’ve done. I just miss you girls so much, by the way! Haha.

The People: There is a TON of Dominican people here, and they are actually really rude. It’s funny because they are super loud. I work with a bunch of Dominicans and they are yelling ALL day, and they are always asking me why I have no energy. “Uhhh, I have energy. You just yell about everything.” Also, their Spanish is SO different. It’s horrible.

The Environment: Obviously it’s still the USA, so it’s not much different. Except that it’s like SO beautiful. There are trees EVERYWHERE. It’s SO green, and where Matthew lives the ocean is SO close. It literally is like right outside of his barracks. The town where Matthew lives is called Newport, and it’s a really cute ocean town where everything closes at like 8 o’clock and there are adorable shops and delicious restaurants. It’s just a cool place to be.

Being With Matthew: I have always been the one in KARM who reads the least, but it feels like since December I was reading the book, and now I’m watching the movie. Haha. Every weekend he would go to IHOP with one of his shipmates, and we went there this weekend, and I felt like it was famous. It’s just so cool to explore and go out together. I do get nervous about when we go back to long distance because it’s going to be really hard to go from being together every day to every couple months. I was freaking out about it for a while, but I decided to just live in the moment, and not worry about that because it won’t change anything. I am falling pretty hard for him though. J

Well, I will continue to keep you updated. I love you girls so much, and miss you even more. J

XOXO

UNC Basketball

March 6, 2010

I'm not sure if anyone outside of Colorado has been watching to see how well UNC has been doing in Men's Basketball, but man, we're doing AWESOME! The games are so much fun now that we're doing well! ALOT of people are coming to the games, even kids from CSU and CU! The games are probably one of the more fun times here at the University because there is so much school spirit in the gym that I want to "FEAR THE CLAW!" :D My cousin came from CSU to this game, he's the boy, and my good friend Kay is with me in the picture. Her and I are rooming together next year!

Sorority Sister!?

February 28, 2010

This weekend I drove to Fort Collins because I have a friend who goes to CSU over there! We decided to go to the Cork, which is a club in Fort Collins. There was a Sorority Party on Friday night for the Non-Traditional Sororities, which were mainly Latin groups. The girls were so cute because they had this little chant that they would shout whenever they wanted. Being at their party made me want to join a sorority! I don't think I would be cut out for their lifestyle, but I just want to be able to do that chant!

WHAT IS THIS?!

February 23, 2010

Although UNC prides itself on the delicious cuisine, sometimes I beg to differ. I have had dinner at Tobey-Kendall probably 100 times thus far, and I must say, it’s not the best. There are two dining halls on campus, and Holmes is the best one on campus, but that one is FAR away from my dorm. This dish is supposed to be chicken teriyaki. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT?!? I pay $9 a meal, c’mon UNC feed me goodness!

Valentines Day

February 14, 2010

Valentines day is today, and although it is sometimes a nice little holiday, I'm not feelin' it this year. My boyfriend and I broke up recently, so it's just weird. I did, however, see the movie Valentines Day, and it was decent. A little corny if you ask me, but none the less it was cute. Rudy who is a very good friend of mine, gave me this really cute frog for valentines day. Froggle Woggle is more of an inside joke than anything, but it was really cute to get him. Nice to have wonderful friends to cheer you up. :]

Homework? What Homework?

February 4th, 2010

I have come to find that school is harder than I thought it would be. After break I just did not really want to come back, because 4 weeks off was REALLY nice. It seems like now school is so much more work than it was first semester. I know I'm just being a baby, and it really isn't as bad as I feel it is, but sometimes, school is just lame. :D
