Halloween

I was really curious if y'all celebrated halloween in China or if there was a similar holiday that you celebrated?

Well halloween is one of my favorite holidays it allows you to dress up all crazy and look completely ridiculous for a whole day and it is completely acceptable. Every year when I am home my brother, mom and I would take my little sister out to go tricker treating to all the neighboring houses and to a few subdivisions that are nearby. It was always a great bonding experience for our family because Zach and I were trying to take Zoe to as many houses as possible because we knew if she got a lot of candy she would share with us. My mom would be strategically plan out where we would go and what houses we were going to hit up that gave out the best halloween candy. It was always a great time and I'm kinda bummed that I am going to miss taking her out for the next couple of years.

This year for halloween I am dressing up like a minion from the movie despicable me. It will be me my roommate and the girl that lives across the hall from me. Im super excited :)

Have fun tomorrow at the football game and be safe this weekend!!

Weekend

I am so excited for this weekend. My family is coming up to visit and I cant wait to see them!!!! We went to my brothers rugby game yesterday and I have a new respect for rugby players. The game was super intense and extremely confusing. It was like mixing football with no pads and soccer. There is a bunch of crazy rules that I didn't understand, thank goodness there was a bunch of JV rugby players sitting near me because the whole game they had to tell me what the heck was going on. The VT team is really good they beat Wake forest 73-8! You can hear the players smack together when they hit and it makes everybody in the stands cringe. One of my brothers best friends, Folger, was taken off by an ambulance during the middle of the game. I spoke to him last night and he broke his tibia (shin bone), dislocated his ankle, and tore a bunch of ligaments. He went into surgery this morning at 6am. It was absolutely awful!
After the game, we went out to eat at bull-n-bones. I don't know if any of you have been but it is absolutely amazing! You have to try it before you leave this year. And today they are coming to the game :) Are any of y'all going to the game today?
Well, I hope all of you have a great weekend and be safe!

Linsey= cluts/crip

I swear I am the biggest cluts here at Virginia Tech. I have lost count of how many times I have almost busted my face on this campus. It is really starting to get annoying!! It might just be me but I all of the sidewalks are a little off and the blocks are uneven and it is causing me to trip all the time!!! Also, its causing my cursing vocabulary to increase. Ha

I'm venting about that specific subject but it just happened to me AGAIN as I was entering my dorm building!!! haha

The most eventful that happened to me this week was Wednesday night I had a flag football game and I  was playing linebacker and I was doing really really good! Within our game I collected 10 sacs (which is when you take the quarterbacks flag before they have the chance to throw the ball) well about halfway through the game I dove after the quarterback and took her flag, and landed straight down on my hand. When I got up the tip of my finger was swelling up and there was a little hole where my knuckle is. I thought that I had just jammed my finger because it did hurt when I got up and I jam my fingers all the time playing volleyball. So, I yanked on my finger to "unjam" it and when I did it popped and instantly felt a little better. I was like yayyy I fixed it, so I continued to play the rest of the game. When the game was over I noticed that my finger was twice the size as all my other ones and the whole back side of my finger was turning black. Schiffert Health center was closed so there wasn't anything I could do about it then. I just wrapped it up and went to the J Cole concert anyways. (Did any of y'all go to the concert?) The next day, I went and got it checked out, turns out that I broke and dislocated my finger. During the game when I pulled on it and heard that pop, that was the sound of me putting my finger back in place. Pretty badass. And the doctor said that the reason there is an abnormal amount of bruising is because I must have busted a blood vessel when I put my finger back. If you look at my finger right now the back of it and the tip is completely black/purple/green. Looks pretty nasty.

P.S. We won our football game and it is our first victory of the season!!! Whoop Whoop!!
