Rain, Rain, Go Away...

Dear Mom, the rain jacket you bought may have been the best gift you've ever given me, even better than the gift of life...
This morning I woke up to the sound of pouring rain. At first I had a moment of panic because it sounded like my window was open, but no, the walls are just paper thin. It was pouring down rain all morning and so I experienced my first 40 minute walk in the rain. Thankfully, my rain gear seemed to work some-what well.


(Rather than just give pictures of my rain gear, which I was more then tempted to do, I decided to use my self-timer - as you can tell in the top photo I didn't think I could fit my whole body, I am pretty tall you know)


So a wet day was spent on campus where we had a boring orientation meeting and I learned about culture shock for the five-hundreth time. The coolest part was the free bags and scarfs:

I also came back to Blackrock and ventured out to legally buy my first form of alcohol:

I decided on the Blue Vodka, because, one, it's vodka, and two it's a pretty blue color (and it makes me think of Bagel). The rest of the night was spent in the dining room with all the other international students learning about their home countries, drinking, and talking politics.

Cultural immersion, talking politics, and drinking blue vodka - I HEART YOU!!!!!


(p.s. I'm drunk.)

(p.p.s. the picture of you with your hood up is my new background picture)

(p.p.p.s. I LOVE YOU!!!!! (and for some reason, every time I type "you" tonight, I forget the y and have to retrace my steps. I feel like a detective!))

(p.p.p.p.s. Jack & Sarah got engaged. Remind me to tell you the story when I'm sober. It's very cute and involves their bunny.)

You are turning into Bagel more and more each day.

And you are quite the blogger.
