Shopping maddness



I’m pretty sure that you could say I’ve lived this summer on the road. But anyways it is back to Logan for a few days! Today , on my way into Logan, my roommate for the fall, Shenan, called me and was like, “Hey, I’m in Logan want to do lunch?” We went to Olive Garden and it was really good and filling. It was great to just kinda sit down with her and get a feel for what she will be like. I’m way excited to live with her because she seems like a fun girl and we have a lot of the name interests (shopping).
Speaking of shopping, I also went shopping today because my mom told me to (you can see for yourself… it’s on facebook in my summer 2009 photo album comments), she said, “Get off facebook and go shopping!” so I did. Logan is not a very exciting place to shop but I hit some good deals! I got lots of new clothes for New York and like them all, so I won’t have a panic attack because I don’t like anything I have to wear.
After shopping I was exhausted, but still needed to pack. I laid everything out that I wanted to take but was then too tired to do anything so I just went to sleep. So I took a Secret Life of the American Teenager break (oh goodness I want to send Amy away!), then took all my clothes off my bed and put them into the suitcase (not folded). It was a LONG and tiring day, but I am glad it happened.

PSA: You Didn't Win Halloween & Neither Did I

Last night my social media feed was filled with photos of friends attending their weekend parties in their Halloween costumes. There were a couple families and friend groups who were the cast of Napoleon Dynamite, a hilarious couple who went as their dogs, Curious George and the man in the Yellow Suite, and even Tess and Emily Tyler (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen from Billboard Dad). People are so creative when it comes to Halloween costumes! I am so not! But then I saw a couple’s costume I was so unbelievable uncomfortable with. alloween It was on Snapchat. Two people, one had painted himself brown to depict a character, a “hero” from a TV show we all watched in high school. Not just face painted, but arms, neck, chest. Then they added the chains. This, to that couple was a costume, but this also has a name, and that name is “blackface”. Minstrel shows started in the mid to late 19 th century, where white actors would paint their face to depict blacks on stage. The acto...

Who Used All the Black Crayon?

Guys, I am used to about 14 views each post. That's it (which is weird, because I post every blog link to my family's Facebook group and there are 40 of us in there... Thanks guys!). I was not expecting that many hits on one post, but I got it, and it has sparked a lot of conversation that I feel to be very productive. I have been so honored by the respect I have been given from those who’s opinions differ from mine, and the dialogue we have been able to have on the matter of race in today's society. Some of the best conversations have come from the, "But why?" question. But why is that offensive? On Facebook I shared this Vox link , so I won't get into that, but I do want to take some time to talk about taking offense. Life is a collection of experience. After one is written into our book, the next experience will be affected because of it. In kindergarten, I had a true Corrina, Corrina experience in class, when someone asked, "Who used all ...

My Chiari Life: Words Are Hard

Words are hard. That's just a fact of life, right? But lately, that haa been even more true for me. Words are so hard! I can't remember basic words that I use every day.  Not only words, but also names! The other day I was talking to my mom about one of my BEST FRIENDS.  I looked at her with complete desperation, I forgot her name! I began to lost everything about her. What she does as a living. Where she lives now, her parents name. Her starting position on the high school basketball team, her sisters name, how amazing she looks in red lipstick. At this point in tears because I truly don't know her name. Common mom! You know her!!!! My mom is now giving me crazy eyes because she knows her and I should know her name. My mom eventually told me her name and I was fine, but- names are hard.  Brain fog is a side effect of Chiari that most Chiarians joke about, but it is also one of my biggest fears. When the brain fog hits and I am in public and now just look stupid....
