University of New England: Marilyn Tushar

Hey guys! So I made it home, but it was quite eventful. I missed my train from Boston, because my train to Boston was late and the train from Boston only runs every day, so... I had to cash in my train tocket and buy a bus ticket and then...

yeah, I went to NYC to catch another bus, but the weather was so bad in PA that the bus to Ohio was cancelled and so I was sitting in this very dirty bus station in NYC till about 1am and finally this very loud bus driver announced they were actually taking a bus to Cleveland. I finally arrived home noon the next day!! I met a bunch of nice people though, there was this Indian doctor and this Polish group, who I understood, because I speak Slovak and the guy sitting next to me was really nice too!

Since, I have been home it has been just shopping, preparing for x-mas and hanging out with friends. The first person I reconnected with was my best friend from high school Lili.

We played games, watched Christmas movies and of course exchanged presents. One of hers for me was a pink hippo (I love hippos and the color pink) that danced to this really funny song!

I also had to get my house ready for the holidays, because every Christmas my dad's whole family comes over for brunch. So, my mom and I bought a tree and I made a ginger bread house.

and now everything is done! Except a tad bit of cleaning...haha. Anyways I really hope all of you have a wonderful holiday season and stay safe, expecially on the roads!! : )

To get it off to a good start, here is something to make you laugh!!

Hey everyone!
So, this week is all about cramming for me! I have no finals at all this semester, but I have a ton due this week! Then, I leave Saturday (a day before finals start), which is awesome, because I get an extra week at home with my family and friends.

Not much has been happening here, because everyone has been studying and all… I went Christmas shopping yesterday with my roommates and today Habitat’s annual rice bag sale starts, so hopefully that’ll be a big turn out… and well that’s about it. Have a nice week (hopefully you’ll get some snow days, if it snows where you live) and talk to you later!

Hey Guys!
Hope your holiday season is getting along great! Today was our first snow day so I decided to catch you guys up on what has been happening...because a lot has been happening on campus…

Last Friday was the infamous Sex Show. Basically, every question in the great Big Book of Sex was asked. They were so many funny questions that spread throughout all topics! One extremely funny moment was when a group of guys walked in (who didn’t know that a show was happening in that room) and they were visually blown away by the discussion on oral sex that was going on. The hosts also gave away twenty or thirty sex toys as raffles. It was a very hilarious and informative night, to say the least! : )

Then on Sunday my Interest Pod (Social/Global Justice) had the holiday party. It was wicked awesome! Everyone brought food and shared traditions and stuff. The best food was these vegetable Indian things…lol, I don’t really know how to describe them and there were these Indian garlic pita-ish breads, which were so yummy too! Another one of the best food I thought were these Asian things that were bananas wrapped in the stuff egg rolls are made out of, with cinnamon, they were totally amazing! I made sugar cookies with a few friends and let me tell you, we made these cookies so beautiful (and had a huge mess). Then we had mass games of Dradle and gambled with Hershey’s kisses! I came out losing, but still got Hershey’s. I didn’t take any pictures though and I am sorry, but I just kept forgetting my camera! But…

…Then tonight my friends and I took a trip to Target and I made sure to take EXTRA pictures to make up! So, I hope you enjoy, they are pretty goofy! After, our trip to Target and a 99, which is this restaurant place my roomie works at, we came back and played a very serious game of Alantisopoly (Monopoly, but Atlantis themed). And that’s about it. Talk to you later! (only 12 more days till I dash home!)

These are my two roomates fighting in the snow.

Okay, so the coat that Steph is wearing is a GIRLS... we all thought it was pretty fabulous that she could still fit into girl's clothing!

Here the group is enjoying Target's complimentary furniture!

Okay, so at first Fallon thought it would be fun to fall into the snow pile...and then she changed her mind...lol

Okay, so do you see the seriousness on Steph's face, she is not playing around this second time!

I guess the snow was pretty cold...oh and this was outside of The 99. Fun Fun!

Video Games!! Seriously, Target has every kind of entertainment you need! We really didn't do mich shopping, Only Fallon bought something (2 bags of candy), yet we had so so much fun!

oh and tommorow will hopefully be our second snow day!! (knock on wood)
