There are two theories about how Strawberry Dr. Pepper came to be. Both of which take place at Chili's.
The first is mine. I was being a fantastic sister and annoying my little sister Jessica (who is now 16 and driving, which makes me feel old - and afraid.) Throughout lunch I was putting 'straw-fulls' of my strawberry lemonade into Jessica's Dr. Pepper; which she kept claiming tasted weird. Eventually she caught me and made me drink it... And it was FANTASTIC!
The second is my mother's. According to her I just couldn't decide between Dr. Pepper and Strawberry lemonade and accidentally told the waitress that I wanted Strawberry Dr. Pepper. After bringing me both drinks I decided to mix them together to see how it would turn out...
Of course Todd (my step-dad) claims he doesn't remember. Smart guy.
Either way, we somehow attached an Australian accent to the whole situation (everyone working at Chili's probably thought we were insane.) Little did I know, this fantastic drink would help me make a really big and exciting decision.
In about 13 days I will begin my 6-month study abroad adventure in Sydney, Australia! I constantly feel like I'm going to throw-up, yet so unbelievably stoked. I want to share every part of it -- pictures and such for my family, gossip for Avi (my lovely roommate who will be in London), and tips for other students who want to study abroad.
So welcome to my adventure! It's gonna be bumpy y'all.
Found your blog from Tumblr. What university are you going to, if you don't mind answering.
ReplyDeleteI went on exchange for the fall semester of 2012 to Emory University and ever since, I have loved reading exchange blogs. I guess because it makes me remember my own excitement.
You are going to have a blast! :)
