August 21 2010 - Annoying annoying annoying!!!!!

Hey there,

soooooooooo, Katie decided to canclle her nail appointment and instead go get her nails done at the beauty school cause it's way cheaper there, on that occasion, I decided a pedicure would be a good idea. We called the school and they said we could come in. When we got there later they said they had no time to take us right now. We asked if we could get an appointment or a specific time when we should come back. The girl who had her hair full of hair dye said they were not taking appointments on Saturdays and that we should just come back later.

So we went to the mall were we met up with Katie's friend and had lunch at stirfry. It works like the europa cafe in new york but it's asian food instead of salad. You go and pick out all the veggies and the sauce u want and then you choose between chicken beef or shrimp and they cook it all up for you. It was really good, a lot but good.

Then we went back to the beauty school. They said they could not take us and that we should have written our names down on the list if we wanted to get our turn today. If only we had known there was a list! We asked if there was something we could put our name down and the girl had said no. What a stupid cow bitch. I guess they are to busy doing each others hair, nails etc instead of taking customers and the girl we talked to before must have had her brain woozy from the chemicals in the hair dye. It's just ridiculous and very unprofessional. Good luck to those ladies when they want to start their own business one they, they'll not get very far if you ask me!

So we went back to the car, mad and angry and annoied and consulted Katie's JPS to find another nail place. we eventually succeeded and got home with 10 shiny toeies and 10 bling bling nailies. There we watched another movie, My best friend's girl, which was very very funny. Then we headed back to the airport to pick up Katie's uncle. Who was coming to take care of the rest of the stuff in the house.

We dropped him off at home and headed to Dominix to get Sushi and mor Benn and Jerry's. Which we alle devoured while watching cupcake wars on the food network. I really can't wait to get home and backe some myself :)

August 20 2010 - To the airpot once again

Huhuuuuuuu, it's me again (but u already knew that cause ur on my blog afterall)

So this morning it was time to say goodbye again. It was also Melodye's 50st birthday. I'm gald I was here to hand over my present personally. Melodye Mike and me went for breakfast before they dropped me off at the airport. Check-in went without any problems and I sat down in the waiting area with my Starbucks and a book.

The flight was on time for once which I was really thankful for. I had never realised how big the Chicago airport actually is. I got another coffee and headed down to get my Olive. They were quick with unloading the plane cause she was already waiting :)

Then I went outside to wait for Miss Katie who got there pretty soon. On the way home we stopped at a nail salon to make an appointment for her to get her nails done, then went back to her aunts house where she is living at the moment. The house is pretty much empty cause her aunt and uncle are moving to Tennessee right now.

We spent the evening talking, eating pizza and having some Benn and Jerry's. We had also gotten two movies from that red box thing which is really cool. We watched it's complicated which is hilarious so if u haven't seen it yet u better head to the next red box and get it :)

August 19 2010 - The college experience

Hey everyone

Today was a pretty interesting day for me. I mean I watch a whole lot of american movies of course some include college stuff. So I more or less knew what's going on there but I had never really been to a college, like to the dorms and stuff, but let's start at the beginning, that's usually a pretty good place to start.

So after getting up, I waited for Cassidee to show up. Last time I had been to San Antonio she was there to go to orientation and now was the day she would actually move into her new appartment and meet her roommates, I got to go with which is pretty cool.

So she picked me up and we went over there, it's on the other side of town. When we drove buy, we decided to go have lunch first cause there were so many cars and so many people standing in a line that we thought it would be better to come back later. We went to Bill Millers which is very close. Cass knew it cause she had been eating there everyday during orientation. It was really pretty good, exept for the peach cobbler, not the best.

Back at the college we got in the line to get Cass registered and get her keys. Five Minutes in line a woman told us that this was only the line for people missing something. We did not really know what missing something meant but we made our way around the building to stand in the "people not missing anything"-line. When it finally was our turn, the girl informed us that Cass was actually missing something and that we had to go back to the other line. YaY!!!

We went back outside and stood in the burning sun for like one and a half houers till we learned that they were missing a copy of Cass' driving licence. So that was done pretty fast and we were ready to get the keys. But oh wait, no!!! guess what, the keys were not there, meaning going back to the other building, stand in yet another line for like an houer and then finally get everything including the keys. That was a marathon, seriously.

We went to her appartment building and checked it out. It's not bad, 4 rooms, each one has it's own bathroom, there's a washing machine and a dryer, pretty cool, i wanted to move in there! After that we started getting her stuff into her room and then waited for her mum to show up and bring the rest. Meanwhile we noticed, that the appartment, especially the kitchen were really, really dirty when actually, they were supposed to be clean.

Sandy showed up with her mum and Scott (her and Melodye's brother) and we got all the rest of the stuff inside, now Cass just has to find a spot for everything. Sandy went to the office to get them to clean the appartment.

I went back to Melodye's and got ready for dinner. Melodye's mum had invited us to have mexican food. It was really cool, all her kids were in town and also Cass and Austin. Scott made me try some Texan beer, it wasn't even bad, on the contrary. It really was a fun night.

talk to you later

August 18 2010 - It's all about the nails

Hola again

Like I mentioned yesterday, Jacque's wedding is getting closer, in fact, it's only 10 days away. Meaning it was time to get the nails done. Honestly I am not the biggest fan of fake nails, which mainly has to do with the fact that they get in the way in the kitchen and of course also because back home it's like 4 times the price to get them done. I was looking forweard to have them done though. After 3 months of backpacking your nails usually look like crap so it was great to have them done while Melodye had a pedicure.

After that we stopped at Barnes and Nobles cause I still had to find the books for Melodye's birthday. Luckily they had them both and I think I was able to sneek them out without her seeing them.

We could both hear our stomach growling so we decided to have lunch at Wendy's.

Back home I checked mails and supprisingly found an answer from one of my mentors about my internship. If everything went her way I would have to start my internship on the 3rd of September which is the day I get back so there's no way I could do that. Still, I had been feeling a bit homesick so I decided to try and push my flight a day or two. Called the airline, unfortunately, they told me they could not do any changes on my ticket. To bad!

talk to you later

August 17 2010 - RELAX!!!!

Hello everyone

This morning i slept in of course, then went to the grocery store with Melodye. I love HEB, it's cool. I know I've been saying that a lot but I am still fascinated by American stores like HEB or Walmart! You're absolutely allowed to think I'm crazy :)

After that, back at home I started the computer and surfed for a long time. Mainly I was writing to all my teachers and mentors to figure out all my internships. The thing is, they always take forever to answer which makes the whole planning thing harder.

Of course now that I had access to a TV again and Jacque's wedding was getting closer and closer, I still was into the whole wedding thing so I watched Say yes to the dress again. They even have a show based in Atlanta now :)

This was a nice realxing day, I really enjoied it.

August 16 2010 - Really???

Hey there,

So I got up early cause I really like to be at the airport early cause you never know what happens right? So the shuttle was on time and I was at the airport at about 8am. My plane was supposed to leave at around 11am. I printed my boarding pass and then lined up to drop Olive off. While standing in the once again ridiculously (still dont know how to spell this) long line, I examined my ticket closer and realised something was wrong. I was supposed to get to San Antonio at around 3pm, my ticket however, said something more like 7pm. What the hell had happened?

When it finally was my turn at the counter the lady informed me that the flight had in fact been cancelled. Lucky me. I had to wait 6 hours for my next flight. At least there was a Starbucks, a McDonald and a bookstore so I survived. I got to Dallas on time and made my connection.

Once in San Antonio Melodye picked me up. Spent the evning chatting and then going to bed.

talk to you soon

xoxo
