Sick As A Dog

Hey guys!
I hope you are well! I am so sick today! After missing a week of classes to attend to family matters in Ohio, I missed classes again today because like I said I am very sick! Luckily, I was able to get an appointment at the University Health Clinic. And I don’t have strep throat (yeah), but I might have mono (boo)! On campus this week they are having a senior auction (which sounds so funny!) and spring break is coming! Woohoo, only 2 more weeks! For those who don’t know I am going with UNE Habitat for Humanity to Arizona for spring break. I am so excited and ready to have some fun and build houses!

Also, to get home I took AirTrans Airways and it was only $100 roundtrip! This is amazing, if you don’t know. The planes were nice too. So, I would totally recommend checking them out! Also, if you have read my past posts you kind of can get the impression I have horrible travel luck. This time was the same. The day I left we got hit and there was not even any school! So, in conclusion I was delayed hours going there and coming home too! Just thought that was a fun fact to add in,

Oh by the way you all should rent Knocked Up! I just watched it and it is so funny! So, if you haven’t seen it, you should! And I saw just saw Jumper too. It was good and the lead guy is really hot, but it’s only an hour! I got there at 7:30 and was leaving at 8:40… so it’s awesome, but maybe not worth cinema prices…. Well I guess there’s my movie review segment…lol

Anyways, I am feeling lousy, so I think I’ll go back to bed.
Much Love,
Marilyn

Justin Kredible...

Hey Guys!
So first of all, yours truly is an a-m-a-z-i-n-g at telemarketing. I earned the most money yesterday! Woohoo for me! Then my friends and I went to this magician: Justin Kredible… it was so funny!
Firstly, he was extremely good looking,

(don't you think so?)
so yeah for that! And he was just really funny! He like made this bowling ball pop out of a pad of paper and like he swallowed a huge, long balloon which was really gross, but totally intriguing at the same time! My favorite was when he popped this balloon animal and then it like magically appeared again from like this empty hat thing. And he took this girls ring, made it disappear and then appear again in her shirt… it was really weird! But, the whole time he was cracking jokes and basically I haven’t laughed that long since…. Well probably the first yoga lesson… but that is the whole different story… ha-ha.
Anyways,
Just thought I’d let you know about this event, since I don’t find myself going to a ton of these, so when I do you know, kind of a big thing,
Next week I am going home, so I’ll let you know all about that fun stuff when I post next weekend.
As far as this weekend though, have fun in the huge snow piles!!! We totally had a half snow day yesterday!! Which was totally amazing!
Seeya,
Marilyn

The Week in Review

Hey Guys!
What’s happening? This week has been so long! I guess the big news is I started a new job. I now work for the phonathon at UNE. It’s really fun! Monday thru Thursday, I spend three hours calling alumni and giving them updates and such. Alumni from like the class of ’50 love to chat it up, so I enjoy it a lot. We listen to music and it is just really chill.

Also, the lock-in was Friday. This is an annual event, where from 8 till midnight you are locked in the campus center. But, it’s really fun, because there are so many events going on that the time just speeds past. I didn’t go (homework load was getting pretty big), but I heard it was awesome! People got hats spray painted and there was a mechanical bull. A friend said that her legs hurt so badly from trying to stay on. It was just all around good fun! Also, the really cool magician I thought was coming last Thursday is coming this Thursday so I wicked excited about that, because I looked him and he sounds pretty good.

I also went to this Christian concert, (this band called Rush of Fools) with the Christian group campus, Edge. That was really fun. Rush of Fools was a bunch of really hot guys and they were just awesome. They played before the Portland Pirates hockey game, but we ended up leaving in between and heading back to school. I love UNE because there is just a club for everyone and every club has so much to offer. That no matter what, with the campus wide events you can never get bored!!

That’s about it, sorry also about the lack of photos. I just have been really busy, but I promise to post a lot next week! If you have any specific questions about UNE don’t forget to e-mail me at mtushar@mail.une.edu
For all those who have asked me questions, thanks and I hope my answers sufficed!
: )
Talk to you later,
Marilyn
