Blog 3: Suitemates

            I have been having a hard time coming up with a topic for this week’s blog post and when I asked my suitemates if they knew a good blog topic I could write about. They were willing to let me write about them and some of the fun times we have had.
           
            When I moved to Knoxville at the beginning of last semester I was not sure who I would be sharing a bathroom with. I knew that I would be rooming with Sara, a girl who I went to high school with. Sara requests that tell you she is a pirate and has scurvy. She is not really a pirate though, nor does she have scurvy. She does play clarinet and eat a lot of soup. Sara and I are suitemates with Mindy and Lisa.

Mindy is from Cincinnati and enjoys animal crackers. She usually works out every day and sometimes convinces me to go to the gym with her. I am not the athlete she is but I do enjoy riding the stationary bikes while watching whatever they have on TV that day. She usually brings her nook and reads while using the elliptical machine. She attended a cycling class at the gym today and looks kind of worn out. She says the class was a little more intense than she expected.

 Lisa would like me to tell you that she is a ninja who often does battle with Sara, the pirate. Lisa is not really a ninja she just wishes she were super stealthy. Lisa has hopes of one day being an orthodontist. Lisa tried to teach me how to “wobble” but whenever I try to dance I feel like a flailing chicken and I imagine I probably look like a flailing chicken as well.

            The girls I live with are a ton of fun and I am glad I got to meet them. From the midnight dancing lessons to the hot cocoa parties (complete with marshmallows, whipped cream, and different kinds of hot cocoa), they always have something fun to do when we get bored.
