All We Wanted Was a Sandwich...

Hi Everyone!

I wasn't sure about what to blog about this week, but here's an amusing story about my friends and I that I think you'll not only enjoy, but will probably find helpful about life at the 'hurst...

So my friends and I were hanging out and decided that we were going to go out for dinner because we were hungry.  Let me tell you, trying to get three people to agree on a place to go is more difficult than you'd expect!  My one friend Joe wanted Chinese take out, but my friend Sarah and I don't like Chinese food, so we were against that idea.  Joe didn't want pizza or subs, so that was out of the question too. Not to mention, we didn't want to spend a lot of money, we've been living off of pasta (or if you're my friend Sarah, dry toast), and we were pretty hungry so we wanted something quick. 

We eventually decided on what I consider the holy grail of restaurants, Panera Bread.  So my two friends, and then three additional friends, and myself, all pile into a car and head to Panera Bread, which is about 10-15 minutes away on Peach Street, while bickering over what radio station to listen to and singing obnoxiously to songs we knew we could annoy each other with... yep, we're mature. 

We get to Panera Bread and I kid you not, the entire city of Erie must have decided that they wanted Panera Bread too.  Mind you, we probably didn't make the wisest decision to go to Panera Bread at 6:30PM on a Saturday night, but we still couldn't believe it.  We then all piled in the car, sang even louder, and drove along Peach St. to try and find a restaurant that wasn't packed.  Something to consider the next time you want to eat out on the weekend in Erie-- restaurants are always packed!  Eventually we went to Perkins (yay me for the recommendation!) and I ate a delicious omlette, homefries, and muffin.  It wasn't a sandwich from Panera, but I guess there's always next time =)

So that's my story and I hope you enjoyed it... I'm off to bed to hopefully get a good night's sleep to prepare for early mornings and late nights working on my projects and papers due!

Hoping I make it out alive in one piece ;)

This Week's Agenda

so many books, so little time!

Hi Everyone!

I'm hoping you find humor in the picture that I had my roommate Chelsea take for me when we both should have been doing research on our papers.  Pictured to the left is a stack of all of the library books that I've checked out of our library and would ideally like to get through for my History research paper.

I found it kind of funny that my room has slowly been turning into a mini library and that the stack of books are getting taller and taller.  However, that's not to say that my life has been all about books.  Last night was the Super Bowl and although I'm not a football follower, the game was an excellent excuse to step away from the academics to hang out and snack on pizza, chips-n-dip, and brownies with my friends.

As for this week's agenda, I will be tie-dyeing in my Textiles class, since we learned about different dyeing methods, eating lunch and talking with prospective students who might come to our school (I would encourage anyone who is looking at Mercyhurst to take advantage of these programs, they're really helpful and informative!), and choreographing a dance routine with my classmates for my Dance Appreciation class (we're dancing to Gloria Miranda's "Conga," it should be fun!), just to name a few things.  Needless to say, I'll be very busy and hopefully very productive!


Here's to a productive, fun week!
