Welcome to my Life...

so I am in Tennessee for crew spring training.... Its a ton of fun and also one of the most challenging things I've EVER done.  Anyway thats not what this post is about. I wanted to take a moment to tell two stories from the past two days...

First me and my friend slash roomie Kate decided that we were sick of the Oak Ridge water (and had been warned not to drink it).  We took $1.25 out of our per diem and walked to the vending machine. After a loooooong day of rowing in 85 degrees with like 100% humidity we were REALLY looking forward to this water... I put in my money in the machine and apparently it flashed "Sold Out" when Kate told me this I immediately started banging my head against the machine as we both grunted about having to walk up two flights of stairs for the next soda machine. Next thing I know a Coke Zero came out. I had banged my head right on the button... so ya.

Next story. Today Kate was trying to find a certain song on iTunes. The new mix of brush off your shoulder and Bittersweet symphony. I searched it on google trying to find the right name and I found the song on YouTube. I then typed the title we found into iTunes.  A song called Brush Your Teeth came up in my iTunes search when I doubled clicked on Brush Your Teeth a song started playing and Kate was like "oh thats it. Isn't it good?" we both downloaded it. In a few minutes I realized that the song was actually coming from the YouTube tab that was still open, not iTunes. Sooo me and Kate really did just download a how to brush your teeth song. 

I want to be in Gilbert with my friends and family. I'm lonely, stressed, broke, and failing at everything. and charging my family a small fortune to do it all.

Well sorry that was sad. Anyway yesterday I accidentally laid my head on a strange man's shoulder in the dining hall. I was trying to stretch backwards and... surprise there were people sitting right behind me and by people I mean a typical jockish west campus table of guys. Awkward. So I have decided that I am too awkward. This is problematic when trying to meet boys sooo I have come up with two fool-proof options:

1. eharmony

2. Become the next bachelorette 

Also I need to develop Gaydar. stat. Unrelated I know

is amazing. I deleted my last/ first post mainly because it was mean and whinny. I had a crappy weekend two weeks ago- that pretty much wraps it up.  It involved hospital trips, betrayal, and other peoples' melt downs...

This weekend was a memory maker. Me and a friend ended up in Dorchester, Mass. Thanks to my final Intro to Community Sociology paper I am aware of the fact that Dorchester has the fastest growing gang violence scene in the country. My friend and I might as well have stamped rich white college girls across are foreheads. We were on our way to Target, which ended up being a hour long trip.  The highlight of the trip was when we met a couple of outstanding men in an abandoned auto complex, they were chilling in a broken down car. One looked at us and said "Happy Valentines Day girls, you look like sweeties." I naturally said " Thanks".... they proceeded to tell us that they had something I could suck on for Valentines Day. It was awkward. We picked up our pace and eventually got to Target.  My friend likes to tell everyone my story...she is jealous because we had a bet going about who could pick up more potential Valentines. It was 1-0 Natalie. She argues that almost being raped doesn't count. There were no prior rules.

In other news, to many people Target is trashy! This was a sad realization to me. I love Target. I buy popcorn and Icees and generally enjoy my time there. However in some communities Target is for ghetto people and you don't admit you shop there unless you want to be judged.  Just a Heads up!
