When I am empress, I have decided to also be a mushroom farmer. Apparently, these actually exist. I am filled with joy at the prospect.
You see, in the book I have for my freshman seminar, it has a line that states "the ants carry the leaves to fungi, which they farm like we farm mushrooms." My first response?
LINDSAY: It shall be MINE!
So this is my new goal in life. Perhaps it will last a day or two.
The friends visited from Atlanta, which was a prospect that filled me with joy and horror. Joy, because I love my friends and miss them, and horror, because I wanted them to like UGA, so I wanted to think of cool things to entertain them with...
All which consisted of horrible failure after horrible failure.
FAILED ATTEMPT NUMBER ONE
MEGAN: Let us tralala to the corn maze!
LINDSAY: Corn maze? That sounds like a cool and entertaining thing.
MEGAN: We shall set out at 6:30!
6:30
MEGAN: Um. Well. Some people are not ready.
LINDSAY: I guess we can wait.
7:00
BRIANNA: .... Are they ready yet?
MEGAN: ...No.
7:30
MADDIE: Are they ready yet?
LINDSAY: ...No.
8:00
MADDIE: Are UGA people always this late?
LINDSAY: No! No! I pride myself on my punctuality!
BRIANNA: ...Fo' serious?
LINDSAY: Actually, no. That was a lie.
8:30
MEGAN: They're ready!
LINDSAY: Yes! Let the night of entertainment begin! We shall grab our coats and go.
8:35 IN THE LOBBY
LINDSAY: Um... Corinne? Where is everyone?
CORINNE: They left.
LINDSAY: !!!
CORINNE: They didn't want to wait.
LINDSAY: !!! !!! !!!
MADDIE: ...Epic fail
...Yes, the caravan we had been promised had left. We had been given directions, but when we followed them, they did not lead us to the corn maze. All lies, lies and slander.
FAILED ATTEMPT NUMBER TWO
LINDSAY: We're going to the Rocky Horror Picture show! It should be super fun.
BRIANNA: YAY! XD The evening is not a failure yet!
CINEMA: I am closed.
CORINNE: All lies, lies and slander.
LINDSAY:...Epic fail.
Failed attempt number three consisted of us trying to get stirfry, and the people completely messing it up. It filled me with sadness.
But after the three failed attempts, we pretty much just hung out in the room and talked/did homework/played scrabble. I should of remembered, this is what my friends and I do.
So the weekend turned out to not be such an epic fail. I'm in a bit of a tizzy, because last night Megan scared me half to death.
MEGAN, LOOKING AT CHEMISTRY SYLLABUS: Oh.
LINDSAY: What?
MEGAN: Lab proposal 15 is due this week.
LINDSAY: !!!
MEGAN: Oh. Well, lab is on friday, I'll be fine.
LINDSAY: !!! Don't lie to me, woman!
MEGAN: No, seriously, look. It's right here.
LINDSAY: !!!
So I'm off to write that. Oodles and oodles of fun.

My lovely Lindsay,
Once again, a great blog with lots of LOL moments, but I'm so sorry that the finding/singing toward the "corn maze" and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" did not work out with Maddie and Brianna, but true to your friendships and your will, being together was the best thing of all.
Regarding being a mushroom farmer ... do you know that just up Kirkwood Hwy (where your grandparents live close-by) in Pennsylvania is one of the biggest mushroom producing areas in the country. As you drive by, it's an aroma that you will not soon forget. Lots of rich manure to keep all the fungi (I prefer the soft "g" versus the hard "g") happy and growing.
Am impressed with your focus and work ethic at the university, but how does one translate the oft written "!!!" in your blog.
Love you !!!!!,
dad
