House Life - Emily

While I'd rather be at school in the dorms with my friends right this minute, I'd like to highlight a few things I've discovered about myself during this long and agonizing break.

Every day, I set an alarm to wake myself up at around 9: am. Every day I somehow turn off that alarm. I know I use my fingers. I know I probably groan, roll over, and press the "off" button on my obnoxiously loud, ear shattering alarm clock. Too bad I wake up two hours later when I am already late for a very important meeting.

How does this happen? I have NO idea. This past week, I have missed every important meeting known to man kind, I have slept through seagulls, roosters, planes, rocket ships, Eric Clapton, and 'ring tone number 5', and somehow jerked awake at 12:00 noon exactly. I have managed to turn off both of my alarm clocks in my sleep. I have no idea how this happens.

I sabotage myself in my sleep. 

The second thing I've learned about myself is that I cannot make a BM at home... I have no idea how this happens. It is fairly simple to push the brown bear our of his cage, and I have never been shy to desecrate the throne room, even in public. I know that dropping a load is completely natural. But I just cannot possibly drop the kids off at the pool at home!

Because I cannot give a sacrifice to the porcelain gods, I am officially convinced that the university puts laxatives in our cafeteria food.

I poop more at school than at home. 

Lastly, I'd like to highlight the fact that I really do not like being away from Athens. I mean I love my friends and family. But I love my OU family more. They know about everything. They love everything. They don't care if I snore, swear, or if I need to have a breakdown in the middle of the hallway. They laugh at all my stupid jokes and I definitely cannot wait the 14 hours until I get to see each and every one of them.
