Crazy Asian

For some reason my refrigerator smells sort of bad all the time. I can't understand this! I clean it literally once a week because I'm so perturbed by this smell, yet I have no idea what its source is. I go to great lengths to make sure that I leave no old, molding, or otherwise rotting foods in there to stink it up, so I'm truly at a loss.

Also, my neighbor across the hall is so disgusting. I'm pretty sure I haven't complained about her yet, which is surprising because she would make for some pretty good blogging material. I call her Crazy Asian (not because I'm racist, but because she is indeed Asian and definitely crazy). This girl is never by herself. Let me just explain first of all that I live in a studio apartment and so does she, which means it's slightly uncomfortable for 1.5 people to be in there at the same time, let alone the mass quantities of guys this chick entertains. One Thursday evening (always right before a big exam of mine, always) this girl literally had at least ten people in her place. This wouldn't bother me under normal circumstances--in fact, I don't really give a crap--but she's right across the hall from me and leaves her door open. So I can hear every god forsaken foreign word that is squealed from her little mouth like a bad Anime porn. And they smoke, so the damn smoke detector goes off every ten minutes or so. And they also leave all their shoes outside the apartment, in the hall. That my be a cultural thing, I'm not exactly sure. But still, ew.

Worst of all, this girl thinks it's okay to leave her trash in the hall. Our building has an outside door separate from the individual apartment doors, so we sort of have an indoor "hallway" which all our apartment open into. Occasionally, I'll leave a bag of trash outside my doorway if I know I'll be leaving in the next hour or so to throw it out. Crazy Asian doesn't understand this concept. She has left trash outside her door for days at a time. I wish I were making this crap up, but I'm not. Last Sunday she placed three bags of trash outside her door, and there they sat. On Friday morning, this is what I see when I open my doorway: Clicky click. Count them up and that's five ridiculous bags of trash. Okay, and that bag closest to the camera?? Those are eggshells in there people. Those bags smelled like ass and had been sitting there for nearly a week. It was sixty degrees on Friday, and there was no reason why Crazy Asian couldn't walk her happy ass the 50 yards to the garbage bin outside. So I called the managers and got her butt in trouble, and to my delight when I returned home from a hard day of slaving away at school, those stinky bags were gone. :D

In other news, today was the first official day of my Spring Break, and although my traditional week off during the end of winter is spent differently now than it was in early college years (on sandy beaches with fruity drinks), I have to say that a break from Pharmacy school is splendid no matter how it's spent. I can't even express to you how thrilled I am to not be studying right now, or a half an hour from now, or even twelve hours from now. OMG yes.

Since I've been set free, I've been able to spend a delightful evening mowing down some cheesy cheese fries with one of my best Girlies Beth, who happened to be in Kzoo for Clinical Seminar. It was nice to sit and complain about pharm school to someone who truly understands! I've also shared a nice dinner at my parents' favorite Mexican place, and browsed around Birch Run outlets with Mike, where he got us a set of eight silverware (originally $160, marked down to $36!).

Tonight Mom and I got to go shopping together, and on a delightful impulse I ended up finding and buying my wedding dress. Oh. My. God. Seeing myself in white with a viel around my face and my mother trying not to cry behind me... it was suddenly a little more real than it usually is. I had no intention of buying my dress this early, but much like the man I love, when the right one comes along you don't hesitate. You go for it--because there's only One which makes you feel this incredible. :)
