Back on the Blog







Hey Fam :) It's been a while since I've been back on the blog--so it's time to pick up where I left off. Not only is it a great tool to share pics and silly stories--but I've come to find that I have a few dedicated readers---so fans..... I BEESE BACK :)

Here's a few KEY words to sum up what's gone on so far...
-Cockroaches
-Germans
-Sex Changes
-Employment
-NH, CT.
-Soft Spoken Asians
-A love for pathogens

OKAY.. so now that I've given you the beefy headlines---we'll bite into the juicy (turkey) burger of Brittany's life. (side note--I no longer eat cow... yes Weston-- I still love a nice Steak. But I can no longer sink my teefers into moo cows.)

-COCKROACHES: I have cockroaches in my apt.... I took a picture of the dead remains--I'm going to email it to my landlord. yummy. We battled it out, I was vulnerable--in a towel--fresh from my shower--and he (or she) was just strolling down the dark corners of the hallway. I was told not to smash them---because their babies go everywhere--GROSS. But I wasn't going to let poquito cucaracha go. (Why the pests in my house are spanish--is a mystery to me, maybe its because of speedy gonzales, and the cockroaches in MIB...either way they speak spanish.) I smashed it...I took my roommates shoe (not mine, of course) and "tomó su vida." Took his life. It was sad. But sorry, I'm not into Cucarachas---at least he wasn't thrown out the window.

-Germans. I sublet my room to a German named Robert, who eats nothing but hotdogs, and for the first time watched Jeopardy--only to find that the show does suck--except for the infamous Alex Trabek. He turned out to be pretty cool. Not only because I made a little money off of him, but it meant no rent while I was in CA! :) And CA was lovely. D-Land, Family and the Beach :) Doesn't get any better.

-Sex Changes--YES, I'm still a girl--despite the heinous picture that Mom insisted on using for Meagan's wedding. Really mom? Really. HOWEVER... if I were in fact a herm, it would have proved useful during my last regatta of the season. I was a girl, and we couldn't race in a men's race. It's like having a guy in a girls soccer match... ( i guess). Even though we wouldn't have placed. I was still upset. And my friend Ed thought it'd be funny to tell the Ref that I used to be a man--all in front of 15 race boats from various prestigious schools. AWESOME.

-NH/CT. I Went to Connecticut for the first time---saw my first white hooker on the street--classy, and even some crack addicts--sweet! Makes me glad that I didn't push the Yale option for school. The town was beautiful---where the school was----but the rest, blah. Also when to NH.. very beautiful--lots of trees.. lots of smokers..lots of cats...good pizza, and bad ice cream. THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF A MALT!!!

Employment--I HAVE A JOB!! wooo hoo! I work for a restaurant called "POUND AND PENCE" It's an English pub and restaurant. It's in the financial district, next to the world trade center, so its all Wall Street/Business people etc... which means awesome tips! I'm a server-its my first time serving, ever. But the girls that work there are awesome! They are all from different countries--Hungary, Russia, Mexico, Bulgaria etc... The manager is great, and again--the $$$!!! so great.

School----I love econ, but i've come to find that it's better to just teach myself. My teacher is this great, and very sweet, Asian man, who talks VERY quietly. So... i basically teach myself, and show up to make it look like I'm learning from him.
Pathogens--My mircrobio teacher is amazing, he works for the FDA and we talk about food bourne illness all day! So you have to listen to me!
-Don't go on cruises.
-Don't eat raw oysters.
-Always wash your hands.
-Wash all your fruit and veggies.
I'll make a whole post dedicated to my new found knowledge---so listen to me, I said.


Well fam... thats about all I can think of for now. I dont want this blog to be too crazy. So I'll end it now.. but I'll try and be more active in blogging :) I love the blogs fam---Nicole, Wes, Tyse, Stace, Matt, Em..... very cool :) Love it all :)
