Dorky Injuries Report: Kung-Fu

-
It was the beginning of Kung-Fu class, and we were doing some jump-kicks. I was in a good mood, and I decided to try to jump farther than my usual puny jumping distance. I did jump longer, but sadly I landed in a weird (and hurtful) position. I was in shock for a moment and then the pain hit me while I tried to walk back to the line. I knew that I wouldn't make it through the rest of class so I hobbled over to Master J. and whispered through my pain,"I hurt my ankle and I don't think I can do jump-kicks anymore!!" Master J. told me to sit until I felt better. I waited a couple of minutes and then my ankle started swelling so I went to tell my mom. As soon as I got outside I let go of the tears and let them flow as I sobbed my story to her. After class was over Buster told me how one boy asked him when I was sitting in the corner,"Whoa! What happened to Klutz Girl?" Buster was confused who "Klutz Girl" was so he didn't answer. The boy then asked Buster who his siblings were, first Buster pointed at me and the boy burst out laughing!! Then when he almost had complete control again he said,"Klutz Girl? *giggle* Klutz Girl?!! *snort* Klutz Girl is your sister?!! *uncontrollable laughter again*" I like the nickname and it's kind of true to me......Just kind of.......


*I learned two lessons from this experience......1: Don't nickname people if you yourself don't really like it. 2: Be careful!!! Even if the jump that you're doing is easy, because you can always get hurt!!*

    Lauren has been given a nickname by someone in her fiance's family. She doesn't like the nickname AT ALL, and neither do I! We're expecting that she'll be introduced by this stupid nickname at her wedding luncheon and reception! :0

    This person decided her name wasn't Lauren, but La-wren. You know, wren as in bird. So now she's Birdie, and it REALLY ticks her off! >:/

SPRING BREAK!!!!

Words cannot express how much love I feel for Spring Break right now. This picture pretty much sums up how I felt when I got out of school last Friday! It has been a crazy busy semester, so this week without having to worry about assignments and projects has been absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately, it's now Thursday and it is almost time to dive back into reality! :( Alright so here are five things that I love at the moment: 1. Sherlock Holmes on BBC!! Even when I am super busy I make time to watch this show! :) It has hilarious dialogue, plus it doesn't hurt that Sherlock is super cute! And the best part of this show is that the next episode for season two is going to air on my birthday!!!! To say that I am excited is a complete understatement! 2. Popcorn! The popcorn my mom buys hardly has any calories, it is delicious, and pretty much my favorite food at the moment! 3. The Clockwork Prince! I bought this book the week after it came out, and I fell in love with it. I

New York Story: NYC's Version of The Little Mermaid

New York City in the summer is Satan's literal anus. It smells bad and it's hot as hell. In an effort to help people in the city cool down, the fire department opens up the fire hydrants. Many people use the open water as a splash pad or a car wash. I preferred to close the curtains and lay in front of a fan for hours at a time. But to each their own, right? I lived down the street from the 1 Train at 135th and used that train almost exclusively to get to Amelia and Dillon's house. The 1 train was more reliable than the life ruining M11 bus, even though I liked taking the bus to the West Side way more. Anyway, since I practically lived on their couch on the weekend, the trip from Hamilton Heights to the West Side was familiar.  On this particular occasion, I had dinner plans with Amelia and Dillon and I was already running behind. I decided to walk on the right side of the street so I could pick up dessert at the grocery store before getting on the train. For reference, I N

Thanksgiving Day One!!

Okay, so I have never blogged from my phone before, so this will be interesting! Winter I my favorite time of the year. I love the cold weather, the clothes, the Christmas romantic comedies, and especially the general attitude. I love having an attitude of gratitude. And it seems like during the holiday season other people adopt that point of view as well. One of the most rewarding feelings is when you bring a light into someone's life, and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays gives opportunities to do that. For the next five days I will be posting the things I am thankful for!! 5) Over the summer, I decided that I wanted to do a big project for personal progress. I decided on making baby hats for premature babies. Unfortunately, however, I am not crafty, I don't know how to knit, and I fail miserably at every artsy endeavor I have tried. Despite all the things that could go wrong, I bought hat knitting looms. It took a couple of days for me to finally learn how to do
