Have you ever seen Seabiscuit?

Hey, everyone, it's allison. I am updating on Rach's thing cause I don't really have one. Anyway, I guess I should talk about what's going on in my life. My parents were here today and that was a lot of fun. I am having a great year so far, my classes are awesome. I have been hanging out with Rach and Jess non-stop.. I think there's only been one day so far that I haven't seen one of them.

I had a really fun time on Thursday night this week despite the fact that I ended up in the hospital with no clue how I had gotten there. We (Jess, Rach, Iwi, Zach, Ally, and I) were drinking in my room for a while, then we went to a Mobroc show. It was a really really fun night (see some of the 173 pictures I have), but it didn't turn out too well for me. I don't remember any of this, but apparently, at around 1:30 I wandered out of Cro and proceeded to vomit for quite some time until three random girls found me and helped me call one of my friends, Eric. He came to help me out but by that point campus safety had shown up and they called me an ambulance. When I woke up I was informed that my blood alchohol level was three times the legal limit.. and that I could have stopped breathing because of how much alchohol I had in me. It was pretty scary stuff. Friday sucked because I had to go straight to work and I still had no idea what had happened to me.. I didn't find that out until dinner. Rach, Jess, Iwi, and Ally came to visit me at work, though, so that calmed me down a bit. Also, I talked to Max (the one from home) and that really made me feel better. The night was very low-key, and today I just hung out with my parents.

Tonight we had a "Green Day Party." Everyone wore green and we listened to Green Day, but I didn't drink at all. It was really good to see my parents today, although I still haven't told them about the other night. The whole incident just freaked me out a lot and makes me think twice about how much I drink, not just each time I drink, but just in general. Hopefully it will help me to cut back a little.

Other than that, things are awesome. I like Conn so much more this year already, and I really like living in Burdick. I miss all of you and can't wait to see you next semester.
