Also, get this, so i talk to my dad the other day, and he says... "Have you done a new blog yet?" "No, dad it hasn't even been a week, life in Newark isn't THAT exciting..." "Well no pressure Kris, but people really like your blog, i think you should try to write in it today"
hahahhaha. I think he's going to start asking me to make up stories just to help me keep the readers happy. (which i could probably, easily do...)
So last week was good, i got to do some work at work! I taught little pre-schoolers the Waggle Dance!! its a dance where you pretend you are a bee, and find a flower in the garden, and put your hands in the air and waggle your bum. Not going to lie. probably the cutest thing i have ever seen.
But all the comedy lies in the roommates, so i'll keep going with that...
So Friday night Eddie's Aunt invited us to her apartment in NYC, and treated us to amazing pizza, like reeeeeeeeaaaaalllly amazing thin crust pizza, spicy chicken, lamb(!!), like a bbq onion or something delicious, and a margarita-the pizza not the drink (which i didn't get to try because i was soooo full!) She also forced dulce de leche ice cream, oatmeal cookies, and beer down our throats too. Geeze. its hard to even type again it was so painful... When it was time to leave and go home, i just couldn't do it... After being in such a beautiful home, i just couldn't go back to my messy messy room.. So i begged his aunt to let me stay the night... haha. So Eddie and i had a little sleep over watching too many you tube videos.

Also, it was was kind of indescribable being in NYC on 9/11.
The night of 9/11 some Former JV's took us to the Newark Bears game...They are an independent minor league baseball team. Eddie, very into baseball, looked up the roster and realized he knew of a bunch of them, former MLB players.. One player specifically, was Carl Everette, who is a former Red Sox player, and who is also known as Jurassic Carl, because he claims he doesn't believe in Dinosaurs. As we found this out we quickly created an enemy as he glared at us every time he came up to bat, because, well, it wasn't too hard to spot out the girls yelling "PTERODACTYL! TYRANNOSAURUS REX!!!" and so on.. Some of my roommates also had the idea, that out of all the men in Newark, our best chance at finding our soul mate was getting to know the friendly Bears... So, after all our hard work in cheering them on, telling them how... hansom... they looked, they seemed to be very focused on this game against Camden in particular, and finishing their season with no distractions...... which you know, that's fine, totally fine.
Eddie and i were up with the FJVs for most of the time, (who by the way treated us each to a beer and a hot dog) and we foolishly decided to spend more than a tenth of our stipend on 2 more beers. Some might argue that it wasn't worth it, but they dont know how LONG that game was.
After the game, they did some fireworks after, you know, for the whole 9/11 shin-dig.... well as all of you know how poor the city of Newark is... we are absolutely positive, they got all, yes ALL of the reject fireworks that you could get... they were flying EVERYWHERE, literally in every direction possible, not going off, not in sync with one another, NOTHING. Also. by the end of it, we were being hit in the face with ash and engulfed in a cloud of smoke. THANKS NEWARK.
Jane and i went grocery shopping this week. We kinda failed. We went over budget by about 30 dollars...... NOT GOOD. but we also bought stuff that will hopefully last us about a month, like raisins, nuts, turkey burgers, and coffee; Now we better save money on the next run!
Okay, now i want you all to know i am COMPLETELY joking about these gift packages. I mean YES what i am asking for would be amazing, but most of it i don't NEED. Simple living guys, i take whatever i can get! So definitely no pressure. However, for those of you who are bored, jobless, can't stop thinking about me, still bored, or actually very worried that i might not make it thru these months with mice, spiders, beetles (which i found in my room yesterday) 5 strangers, and only a hundred dollars a month.... i'm going to keep posting items i'd appreciate!! But don't worry, just like my dad says, NO PRESSURE!
Gift packages!

-A calendar -sorry Roger, i forgot mine at home :(
