Hello Fellow Classmates...and whoever else is interested in my blog!... Misc 2

     I just wanted to apologize to all of you who are reading my blog for not giving you an appropriate introduction of myself. My name is, obviously, McKenzie Nofer, no "A" with a capital "K".:) I'm 5'3" which, I guess, is short but not too short. I go to Rhodes State College majoring in Dental Hygiene and minoring in ASL. For those of you who were like me in the very beginning, ASL is basically sign language.
      From the very beginning of time, well, of the time of my life that I can remember, I have always wanted to become a dental hygienist. I've had this weird and eccentric obsession of teeth for a very long while. I was the kid that always loved skipping school to talk to my dental hygienist for an hour while my mouth was wide open and she was scraping plaque off of my pearly whites. So, I decided to try and  become that lady who probably thought, "If she doesn't stop talking, I'm going to jab her with this pick!". Hopefully that was just what i thought she was thinking. I really don't have much of a reason to minor in ASL. In order to be considered a full time student I had to pick something, so, ASL seemed like a super, fun class to go into and learn about. Boy, was I wrong. Not only are there only seven people in the class, but they are all a lot (and i mean a lot) older than me. There is even a couple in there that are 70! I mean, whatever floats your boat, but 70? It has been very uncomfortable for these first few weeks, so, I'm hoping it gets a little better as time goes on.
      I am a romance novel guru! My favorite books are: The Host, The Twilight Saga, the Fifty Shades Trilogy, How to be Popular, and Point of No Retreat. I've read most of those books about three times. You could call it another obsession of mine. I also hate sugar. People think I'm strange but I like to think it's perfectly normal. Even though I know I'm in complete denial considering "normal" girls my age actually enjoy pigging out to ice cream and chocolate! I'll just stick to, yet another obsession of mine, PICKLES!!...Yes, I know, I'm far from normal.
      I hope you enjoy my craziness that is put out for the world to see and if you want to comment, do so nicely. My roommate really doesn't want to come home to see me wrapped up in a blanket, strangling my fuzzy, pink body pillow, and crying, while i gorge myself with my massive jar of pickles.
Enjoy :)

Quit Eating My Food...Misc 1

         I am a very stingy person when it comes to spending my money. Ask ANY of my friends...they'll tell you. So, when I have to spend money on food to live at my apartment, it really drives me, for lack of better words, AWOL when my roommates eat it. I had spent all summer working 40 hour weeks for minimum wage on the hot asphalt of Lincoln Highway, crack patching for the Van Wert County Engineers. I felt that I would certainly have enough money saved up so i wouldn't be starving this school year, but as i previous stated before, I'm very, very stingy, and when they eat my food i just think of how that's yet another dinner they've eaten that I have not! As I sit here, smelling the delicious pizza baking in the oven that, of course, is mine...(that they are eating) makes me want to do something very...rude. I really just want to go out there and take it right out of the oven, put it on a plate and say, "Wow! Thanks for making this guys!", and take it back to my room and eat it in solitude.
            My best friend, Taylor Springer,  and I, share a room together, but we also share an apartment with three other girls who have their own bedrooms. From the very beginning, we all decided that we would buy our own groceries and we would share condiments. Taylor and I split our grocery bill in half, because we, generally, like the same things and the other girls do their own thing. Since we have moved in, I have not touched any of their food. Taylor and I even gave them all the space in the kitchen to put all of their food and we have to put our food in a tub under the bed...very jank...I know. The thing is, we hate confrontation! I try to avoid any altercation at all times, so, we haven't said one thing. So instead of causing any unnecessary tension, we decided to invest in some bright neon stickers to put on our food! Cross your fingers for us in hopes that our plan is a success!!
