Balloons and Bugs!

Week 3 of class went great and here's what happened this past week!

 

I did finally go to bed on Monday morning at 7:30 am after spending all night scrubbing my apartment crazy clean!! I found a hole around the pipes in my bathroom under the sink and realized that is where the nasty bugs are getting in! GROSS!! The maintenance guys came and filled in the hole for me. Then I went to home depot this week and bought some bug killing spray for inside and outside of my apartment. As I was spraying in my bathroom a roach was in my bathroom and was running away as I was spraying (good sign, but really FREAKED me out!!!) incredibly disgusting. I kind of went a little out of control and sprayed around my entire building, but I don't feel bad at all because I DON'T DO BUGS.

 

I finally booked my flight home for Christmas and on Wednesday, so I'll be home around 11:30am on Thursday, December 19th!! I'm so excited!! Also, on Wednesday, I had dinner with Dr. Kevin Pallis and his daughters and some other Life students. Listening to him talk is so inspiring on my new life as a chiropractor! He is speaking at a seminar on this coming Saturday in Detroit, and myself and other students are making the road trip to hear him speak!!

 

I talked to my Dad on Friday and we were talking about Thanksgiving and me not coming home, and my wonderful Dad bought me a plane ticket home and I'm super excited to be home in a month!! I have been feeling really homesick lately, and not having to wait 2 months is SO EXCITING!!

 

I made plans with Amanda and Adam to hang out this weekend and do SOMETHING on Friday and Saturday. On Friday we went to the movie The Counselor which was the worst movie EVER, don't go see it, save your money. After the movie, we went to Marlow's Tavern which was amazing, best tuna appetizer I've EVER had. I honestly almost went there tonight to get it to go.

 

On Saturday, we had all heard of this event at Kennesaw State University which is kind of like a street fair and the big main attraction: riding in a hot air balloon. We were so excited, but unfortunately there were a lot of flaws in the event.

1st) we got there at 6pm...it took an hour to get in the door

2nd) the advertising was $15 for everything unless you bought food or something from the vendors...well, they also charged you for the balloon rides (which was fine, cause' we wanted to do it, we were willing to pay the extra $10)

3rd) We got in line for the hot air balloon tickets and after about 3 minutes, we were told that they were sold out of tickets because they ran out of fuel for the hot air balloons. :(  We were not happy, so we left and went to another bar and hung out there until we went home. Here are some photos of the hot air balloons though!

I got home and went to bed and was planning on going to try another new church today, but I woke up with a terrible headache so decided against it. Then I got up to go to the bathroom and found this cockroach in my hallway, bright side it was dead so my spraying for bugs obviously helped, but I was still really grossed out to find this in my apartment!!

                                        

Anyway, after that nasty thing got flushed down the toilet, I spent most of the day trying to get over this terrible headache. It finally went away by 5 and I've been doing a lot of studying and lounging around in my apartment. I'm probably going to stay up late tonight and keep studying since I don't have class tomorrow. I'm excited for this week to be over because I have 3 tests this week and then after my last test it's off to Detroit for a seminar and I'm so excited!!!
