It's definitely Fall in Blacksburg, my first one since 2006!! I have very few long sleeve options, and no winter coats. It's also difficult for me to go up home because I work Fridays as well as Sundays. I'm trying to edge binge drinking out of my life. I'm at the point where I feel like it just hinders me and ruins the entire next day. I dont really sleep when I drink, and that bothers me. I have my first day with 0 plans/work on Saturday! I wanted to go hiking but it's been raining here a lot, so theres probably no point.
We went to Bart's and Jordan's last night because they were having a "party." Party apparently meant beer pong, the office and some sort of gin bucket. I had a beer, played pong, won 2 games with Nick, took a nap, drank half of a beer, called up the Hooptie and went home to bed.
I have little to no money right now until I get paid. It doesnt matter too much, I'm set for the weekend, Jess bought me Dos Equis for driving her to the grocery store. I am running out of coffee and creamer, but I guess I can live.
Oh yeah, I've been hooked on Fall goods. Catie Joe and I went to Christiansburg the other day and I got a Chai Tea Latte from Starbucks. It was DELICIOUS. I have Vanilla Chai tea at my apartment, and I've been experimenting to recreate the same taste. My next culinary attempt I think will be pure de calabazas, it was something we ate frequently in Argentina, and it is dank. I made mashed potatoes for the first time ever (simple, I know) and I got to use our actual masher. I had made acorn squash the other day, and I think I might buy another one whenever I get enough money.
I found a blog written by a woman in Buenos Aires writing about her experiences there. It makes me stomach hurt. I need to travel.
