Okay, seriously this weather needs to stop. I am sick of this cold, windy weather; it just makes me sick. And who ever designed this freaking campus didn’t think about the whole wind tunnel situation! Every single archway is a wind tunnel; Torg, Pamplin, Eggelston, even the drill field in seriously windy and annoying. So this week I just starting coaching the NRVLC girls team which I did play on for 4 years. I really like coaching these girls because the team wasn’t very good, but I feel like it was because of our sucky coaches. All the girls on the team are really nice, and we all get along which is great! I really hope I can coach them to victory. One of my friends’ boyfriend came into town this weekend too and it was so much fun. We all went out to dinner and then ice cream, even though it was freezing! He was really nice, and he got along with all of us really well. I can’t wait until school is over so I can go up there and visit them in their home town. Hopefully I get to do that this summer, because she lives on the Chesapeake Bay, and she has a boat! I would love to go swimming right now in a really warm pool. Back in New York, I had a friend that had a heated pool and they would make it like a hot tub during the winter; it was so cool! When we got out of the pool, we would be really steamy, and it looked really cool too. So I’m home for the weekend and I love coming home. I haven’t seen my parents in two weeks, so it feels good to see them again. I also love cooking with my family, and that’s one thing I miss about being in the freaking dorms. I always so cooped up in there and I can’t cook! I can’t wait until summer comes and I’m back home for 3 months and I’m working and cooking. Yesss.
Until next time,

only a little sad.

Once upon a time, there was a 14 year old named Nicole. She had a lot of friends but they didn’t really like her as much as she liked them. One day she decided that she would tell all her so-called friends that she was pregnant; they would like her so much better, she thought. When she told her friends they were disgusted and left her on her own with her “baby.” Nicole’s plan backfired; she no longer had friends. A few weeks later, Nicole noticed that she was gaining weight; she no longer could fit into her old clothes. She decided that she needed to go buy new clothes but she didn’t have any money. Nicole didn’t care; she needed clothes one way or another! She went to the store and saw a few things she liked. After a few minutes of pondering through the racks, a sales lady walks up and asks if she would like to try on the clothes she had picked out. Nicole agrees and she goes into the changing room. While she is in there, she quickly cuts off all the tags and stuffs the clothes into her purse. Nicole walks out casually and says to the sales lady that she didn’t want anything that she tried on. This gave the impression that all the clothes are still in the fitting room, so the lady wouldn’t catch Nicole for stealing. So, Nicole makes it out of the store and back into her car to go home. On the way home, she needed to get gas for her car, so she stopped by a gas station to fill up. While she was pumping the gas, three cops come cruising in and attack Nicole. After they get her in cuffs and as her a few questions, they tell her that she has been caught for stealing clothes. She pleads and pleads, but the pigs don’t care. Nicole gets taken away in the cop car, and she was never seen again.
And that’s why you don’t pretend you’re pregnant.

So: crazy weekend! This weather is not making me very happy either. Walking across that drill field is hell! So yesterday, the roof of the Blacksburg High School gym collapsed! I went to that school! Everyone that went there knew that something like this would happen eventually. The high school is built on a fault line, so there were many cracks and fractures in the foundation on the school. In the gym, there was a huge crack down one side of it; so sketchy! We all knew it was going to happen eventually.
Other than that, this weekend is Valentine’s Day weekend! I’m going out to dinner with Brian to where we had our first date, three years ago. Sooo, cute! We are actually going to Macados. We started dating in high school so we couldn’t really afford to go anywhere fancy. But I love that place, so it’s okay! I hope other people have special plans for today too. =] It’s really great having a special day like today. I know a lot of people are really bitter about Valentine’s Day, but there is nothing to be mad about. It’s just a day where couples can show their affection towards each other. I do agree with the people that do say that it is a Hallmark Holiday, but use that towards your advantage. Valentine’s Day is a day where it’s forced affection, I think. It would be great if every day, or every week there was a day where your boyfriend would surprise you with flowers and candy! Valentine’s Day forces your significant other to show you how much they adore you because frankly, guys just don’t do that on their own. So I’m really excited about today.
So, about this weather; I am not happy. It’s supposed to snow again tomorrow?! I really just want to see grass, I miss seeing green things. I think all this snow is making me depressed. I want to actually enjoy walking to class and be able to wear shorts again! I’m not is the long pant mode anymore. I’m sick of the cold!!
Until next time,
Melissa

So here we are again, snowed in! I’m sorry that all my blogs seem to be about snow, but seriously people, we are in a snow apocalypse! Ha!
So who is ready for the super bowl?! I’m not usually a big fan of the NFL, but I just love watching the commercials. I’m going to be rooting for the Saints because they are obviously the underdogs. Plus one of my friends is a diehard Colts fan, so for his sake, I hope they lose.
So for this blog, I’m going to talk about my music that I LOVE to listen to. So right now, I’m listening to this song called “Ghosts ‘N Stuff” by Deadmau5. They are a techno band, and I absolutely love them. Here is a link if you interested in listening to the song; I strongly recommend it. It really just makes you want to dance.ghosts n stuff
Another song I like is Tik Tok by Ke$ha! Oh my gosh, this song will never get old. I don’t know how to explain her music, but I’m sure most of you have heard her song. I love it so much that it’s my ringtone! I would say that this song is techno, but it’s also has some characteristics of pop.
Another song that I’m in love with is Beat It by Michael Jackson. Actually, all of Michael Jackson’s songs are amazing. He is the master of Pop, and I miss him. Everyone gave him a hard time for the things that he may or may not have done, and I felt so bad for him. He was amazing.
Lady Gaga! Ahh, I love herrr! Her performance at the Grammys with Elton John was amazing! I don’t like her new CD as well as her old one, but now that she’s more popular she has a lot more pressure to make good music.
My two other favorite bands are Pendulum, and Owl City. I know they are two totally different sounds, but there is just something so calming about both of them. If you don’t know about Pendulum: they are a British band that is somewhat techno, but not as upbeat. Everyone pretty knows Owl City, but they are just like the Postal Service because they have the same main singer. I could listen to Owl City for the rest of my life and I would never ever get sick of them.
Also, I HATE Lil’ Wayne.
Until next time,
Melissa
