General Updates on Life/NEBRASKA!

I am stuck in the computer lab until 2, and theres nobody in here, and I got tired of homework, so I figured I would write a little update for those (Jessica) who care to read.

I leave for Nebraska at appx. 2:15pm. Lil J is coming to the lab sometime to pick up the key to my house, for she will be residing there whilst we are away. The only condition is that she feed and scoop the poop of Robin Sparkles. I'm sure it will be an exciting experience for her. We have a wide variety of DVD's and breakfast cereals.

So I will be in Omaha, Nebraska unti Monday afternoon. If something exciting happens (I eat a lot of FREE food), I will post about it. If I find something awesome with a Husker logo on it, I will buy it, and if I cannot buy it, I will take a picture of it and make a lovely Facebook album. What do I expect from this trip? A lot of gloating about how awesome my little cousin is and how shes going to be successful, blah blah blah. Yipee. I don't mind - I will sit back and freeload like its nobodys business. I'm in college, bitches, and although I may still live at home, I cannot pass up the opportunity to eat as much as I want for free, watch television for free, and take the longest shower in the world for free. Not to mention I can try to get my dad to buy things for me, such as clothing items, or just Husker accessories (hey dad, remember when I made the Dean's List and was generally the most awesome and underappreciated daughter ever???? I DO!)

Here is a list of all the things I'm looking forward to on my trip, and hope to document:

1. SEVEN HOUR CAR RIDE with the dad's wife.
What will be said?? Will we stop by every Starbucks we see along the way??
2. Fox News on EVERY television 24/7.
F*ck Murdoch, I'm not putting up with that sh*t.
3. Me (democratic, Obama supporting poli sci major) + Grandpa (republican anti femanist racist) = GOOD TIMES.
What will Grandpa say?? I want to hear him talk about Hillary and Barack. Man, the blogs I will write when I get to experience him watching the "news"! (See how I put news in quotations? It's because he watches Fox)
4. Graduation.
I hope someone trips/shows up wasted. Keep your fingers crossed!
5. Graduation party + my uncle bringing booze = family time in Nebraska.
Follow up stories to come on Sunday evening
6. FREE FOOD.
This is why I love graduations - people buy enough food to feed a tiny war ravaged country. Who is going to eat it all? ME. I'm going to clean out that veggie tray like you would not believe. Food is uber expensive these days (much like gas- $4.09, Exxon??? REALLY?? And you're not price gouging?), so if people feel the need to stock up, who am I to waste their investment? And all of that cake. They are sure to have plenty left over. I will be sure to let them know that I have lots of friends who have no food and no place to live (I'm slightly concerned with the amount of people that I know who are homeless at the present time). Hopefully I can bring back some leftovers for everyones (my) enjoyment.
7. My grandparents wanting to take us out to eat for every meal.
It is inevitable. They love Cracker Barrel and Ruby Tuesdays, and they aren't ashamed of it. High cholestorol much? Yes. Good thing I'm fasting for most of Saturday to save room for Sunday's feast of vegetables and cake (I believe it was Benjamin Franklin who once said "A vegetable tray and cake does an excellent meal make." I saw it on the History Channel this morning.
8. RANDOM OBJECTS WITH HUSKER LOGOS ON THEM.
What will I find this time???? Last time, the big prize was the Husker LEATHER SOFA. I hope I can stop by a Red Zone at some point (which shouldn't be hard to do, they have them on every corner, much like gas stations only awesomer). I am going to try to find fun things to bring back, but as I am low on cash, I can't make any guarantees (I will attempt to purchase any drinking paraphernalia I find, as I'm sure they are the items that will be most useful). I really hope I can find the Husker hammock while I'm out there. I think it's a necessary item for our house, to be sure.

That list was a lot longer than I had anticipated it to be. I guess I'm pretty excited to go. I haven't been out there in over a year and a half. I kinda miss Husker Nation. You really appreciate it more once you've been away for a while.

In other short news: Dr. Theising is pretty cool. Anyone who can make a 3 hour class bearable and actually somewhat enjoyable is okay in my book.
