More Pictures Reloaded!

Here are some pictures from the past couple of days...

My Macbook Pro and my brand new printer.
$70 in the Buff Chip (its the electronics store on campus) haha.

Gorgeous, clever girl rooting on David Wright and the NY Mets. I found her in a SI magazine.


My verryy cramped seat in the Taxi. (303) 777-7777 --if you want to call a cab here in Boulder.

Hannah trying to get a ride back to Will Vill. We decided to take a taxi. $10 fare for 4 people. Pretty cheap. We bought alot of food/gatorade/water at Target.

The roommates' 3-day plan. haha.

Gorgeous view of the Flatirons from the 29th Street Mall right by the Apple Store.

Sephora wants me to follow them on Twitter.

Free Chipotle!!?? Im there! And I get to interrogate a cop? COOL!

Frisbee, N64, Mini-Golf, Oh my!

Today marks the 1 week anniversary of me being in Boulder, Colorado, here to begin my freshman year at CU Boulder! And so far--im loving it! The people are awesome, the city is gorgeous and there is wayy too much to do here! :D To tell you the truth, its a little overwhelming; learning how to take the bus, navigating the CU campus, meeting people, balancing classes. etc. So far I am doing very well. The only thing I NEED is a bike. And I need it really badly. Sometimes I want to go to the 29th Street Mall and I dont want to take the bus. I will keep you all updated on how the bike hunt goes. Today I woke up at 12:30pm to my roommate(Daniel) listening to really loud music. It may sound annoying, but I needed to get up and get going. I had alot to do today. I registered my laptop with the Boulder Police/CU campus police so that in case my laptop was stolen, they could retrieve it. Because I signed up for this I had to place a large, silver, metallic sticker on the front of my laptop. I wasnt too excited about it, but luckily I have the InvisibleShield on my laptop, so the sticker is not literally on the computer, but on the outer plastic coating.
After that I found my classes, walked to each one writing them down on my map, in hopes of remembering where to go tomorrow, when it actually matters!
I then met up with a girl named Colleen. We went to dinner together and then played some frisbee on the Darley Commons Quad. Colleen overthrew the frisbee and I turned around and ran for it, trying to grab the frisbee out of the air. I ran into a huge electrical box and got my arm all cut up. But I have to admit, it was pretty funny! The group of 6 girls watching us thought so as well. haha.
Then began the late-night fun! My dorm room turned into party central. We had the N64 with the new "old" tv. I had about 12 people in here playing Mario Kart and talking. We then decided to create a mini-golf land course with 3 holes on the left wing of Stearns West. The RA(Drew) even enjoyed it!

TV Hunting

The roommate(Daniel) and I decided we needed a tv for the room, and waiting would not work. We checked out CraigsList.com and found the perfect TV for us. It is a 25" AKAI tv. The sale price was $65, but we were able to get it for $60! Great deal! haha. That extra $5 allowed me to get two pieces of pizza at Cosmos, right across from Williams Village, aka Will Vill. It has a beautiful picture and makes a really cool noise when it turns on and off. It sounds like a noise from Mario. Today I went to Best Buy to find a Coaxial cable for getting cable tv in the dorm! Luckily I was able to find a 12' cable for $16. I get over 60 channels, most of them being local. I have already put this tv to good use with the live broadcast of the Giants v. Rockies game. Unfortunately the Giants lost 11-14. : (
