Couch Potato

Ever just sit on your couch? I mean, all day long, watching television shows that seem to drain the intelligence right from your mind?

I just went through this experience. Work has been pretty strenuous lately, therefore this three day weekend worked wonders for me. I slept more than when I was a baby (if you can imagine that), I ate crappy junk food (Thank you for delivery, Pizza Hut!) and I watched both seasons of 'Chappelle's Show', tearing up a little when I watched Dave's last episode.

So why be such a lazy bum?

You know, I had plans this weekend. I wanted to go watch a movie (nothing in particular), I toyed with the idea of taking my little sister swimming, I even pondered the idea of catching up with a few of my forgotten (their words, not mine) friends. But alas, I did not.

Now, I'm sitting here, wishing that I had reached out to my family and friends this past weekend, like I usually do. I usually am the one who calls friends that I haven't talked to in a while and asks to meet for dinner. I'm the one that goes to my dad's house every Sunday to play with my baby sister E while my parents enjoy some free time.

But I didn't this weekend. And now I feel a little guilty like I should have done something more productive with this three-day weekend.

Guess there is always 4th of July.

All about me...

Want to know EVERYTHING about Metro? Ask me. I've spent the last five years of my life on Auraria Campus- if you have a question, I'm the girl to ask. And if I don't know the answer, I know who to call to get the problem solved. That's the joy of working in the President's Office and knowing so many people that work for Metro State.

My name is Amber and I am senior at Metro State. I will graduate in December (finally). Beside taking classes, I've been a member of the Cheerleading squad, Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority, 40th Anniversary Committee, Welcoming Ceremony Committee (just to name a few). Also, I work on campus. Therefore you could technically say that I live on campus- which is true, if you ask my family or friends.

What else do I appreciate besides Metro? I love dancing, scary movies, burping contests, and Starbucks. I love spending time with my family, especially my sisters. I run a lot, usually downtown Denver so that I can people-watch.
