This week's been a pretty good week, and this weekend's been better :]
I got a box of cookies from my mom on Tuesday :D That was exciting.
Wednesday was my orchestra audition for next semester. And it went well, so that's good.
Then I got registered for Turkey Trot. I'm pretty excited abou that too. I had my first run in the rain since I was on a team last Thursday. It was fun :D
Thursday I got to play Ultimate again and then we were getting readdy for the Aldersgate Halloween Party. Thursday Catherine, Seth and I made cookies and cake and Friday we decorated. The cookies were sugar cookies with Halloween shapes - one was a witch and it took me the longest time to figure out what it was, I thought it was just the wierdest looking bat I'd ever seen. Then I realized that it was rotated :] The fisrt batch of dough was good, then the second was shorted flour so it was extremely sticky - Catherine and I had a few cat amputations going from the table to the cookie sheet. Michael and Payton had fun decorating them on Friday.
The party was super fun. I actually wasn't too bad at cider pong - there was a cauldron with a fog machine and strobe light inside in the blacklight room (yes, we have blacklights on walls in our dining room, only used once a year) and so that was kind of headache-inducing. And that was where we were playing cider pong. One of my shots I couldn't see the cups so I just tossed the ping pong ball and I actually got one of the cups :D That was fun. I also got to hang with Julia (Elphaba in my facebook profile picture) so that was fun too :] After the party at Aldersgate, a bunch of us went over to Shilpa's apartment and watched Shaun of the Dead (it was like Zombieland - a comedic horror movie). It was a good night :]
The next day, Saturday, I'm pretty sure Michael and I were the only ones awake at 10am - when I woke up :] The house was rather quiet. I had a pretty lazy day yesterday - I watched the Purdue v. Michigan game.
It was sad. Like really sad. But I guess I was expecting that. After that game, Kyle and I didn't really care what the afternoon games were so we turned on NCIS and watched that. I went to Marsh and picked up some Panda Express for Kyle - he sprained his ankle jumping down stairs leading off the stage at a Glee Club show (he landed 4 rows in instead of at the bottom of the stairs). While I was at Panda, I realized that I really can't eat anything from there anymore - it's all meat. I guess I'm really a vegetarian now - I don't miss it.
At 8 we got to watch the USC v. Stanford game. It wound up being a good game (I really hadn't expected that). Unfortunately, USC lost :[ I had kinda expected that to happen though, plus USC beat Notre Dame so it wasn't too bad. It went to 3 overtimes though, so that was unfortunate because it was so late.
Today was the Halloween concert - always a fun concert. And today was no exception - we played some awesome songs and I got to hang with my section for a little bit in between the dress rehersal and concert. I also got quite a few compliments on my costume :]
After the concert, I hauled over to Wesley because I was playing bass in one of the bands for our Praise-a-Palooza mostly worship music service. And that went pretty well too - considering my group hadn't practiced with a sound system before the hour before the service - our practice on Friday was just listening to the music and strumming the guitars without amps or anything. But we played some good songs and they turned out ok, even with the troublesome mics - we kept getting this annoying feedback.
Then I got back to Aldersgate and saw that the Saints lost to the effing Rams - really?? But I got a Halloween card from Kristin so that made me smile :D And now I'm watching the Eagles game with Kyle, Ben and Jake - and the Eagles are winning! Go Eagles! (they're my last hope for this weekend O.o )
Peace.

Blood blisters and football :D
I meant to update Friday night, then last night, so maybe I'll actually do it now :]
Overall, it was a rather 'meh' week. I was stressing about school for most of it, so that was not so great. Plus the weather was gross all week - thankfully it got nice yesterday for the game and then today was beautiful as well. If on;y it would stay like this...
Monday we had a cleaning party for the first floor common rooms of Aldersgate, and Seth and I had some fun beating one of the carpets. We broke the broom we were using into 5 separate pieces (the acual broom part broke in 2 and the handle broke into 3) and I got a blood blister on my hand. It was fun though :D And I got my new window - it was just a storm window that was too small propped up by the screen and now it's an actual window again! It's the small things in life :]
Wednesday was not so great, but Thursday wasn't too bad - I got some new books and enjoyed some hot apple cider. I've been kinda busy with homework, so I haven't gone to Ultimate in a while. Hopefully next Thursday will work out.
Friday was a good day - classes went well and then I went to lunch with a friend. Then I had dinner with some guys from my orchestra section - that was really fun. I like both of them, they're fun to hang with :] And the place we went was really good - it was oriental food where you could make your own stir-fry kinda thing. Very yummy :] It was over in Lafayette, and there was an insane amount of traffic. This Homecoming is pretty popular.
After dinner, I went to a corn maze with Wesley. That was super fun, it was a pretty awesome corn maze. And the sky was pretty much stunning - I was looking up quite often.
Yesterday was the Homecoming game. I went with Ben - we went to a tailgate with Andrew and Jake but neither of the other 2 actually made it to the game.
It was a good game too. The first half was great, the 3rd quarter was flat, but the second half of the fourth quarter was pretty good. JaJuan Johnson, one of our awesome basketball seniors last year, was on campus but he didn't lead Shout, so Ben and I were disappointed. There were a bunch of alumni there though - alumni band and twirlers and cheerleaders and flags so the halftime show was pretty awesome with all the alumni there too. And some of the alumni cheerleaders (and not just the recent grads) were doing stunts and things, so that was fun. It was a cool game :]
Especially since we won! :D We played U of Illinois - who was raked 23 and wasn't playing like it really. Oh well, it was fun for us ;]
Ben and I were invited to join Andrew and his family at Bruno's (pizza place) after the game, so we went down there with them. Their family is so nice, it was fun :]
Saturday night we had a chick flick night with the Wesley women, we watched 27 Dresses :] Partially through the movie, there was a pounding at the door and we had been expecting the guys to try and crash, so we all assumed it was them.
Well, it was them, but they weren't there to crash. They serenaded us :D It was super sweet, and all the women enjoyed it. They even had the harmonies all down, so they had obviously practiced. It was cute :]
Today I was playing in the Wesley band, so I did that. It was a good service, we played well and the sermon was good too. After service, I went out to dinner with a friend from Statistics class, so right now I'm full from Noodles & Co mac'n'cheese :D yum!
Alright, I should probably do some homework, even though my Star Wars book is calling me... We'll see how well that works. Tomorrow my 5 week training for the Turkey Trot starts - should be fun :]
Peace.

Yay travelling!
Holy busy week.
Last weekend I was at home for fall break :D That was a good weekend! I stayed here for the game against Minnesota and I was going to stay for the entire thing, but I decided that I wanted to get home so I left at halftime. And got to play nighttime Ultimate with a bunch of friends - complete with getting hit in the forehead :] That was fun.
I went downtown on Sunday with my cousin Melissa to see her boyfriend run the Chicago marathon. That was a ton of fun, it was cool to hang with her all day :] And I got new running shoes - Schaumburg 5k Turkey Trot here I come :D
Then I went to Goebbert's with Nicole on Monday. I wanted apple cider and donuts to bring back to school, and she needed to get a pumpkin. That was so much fun! I miss Nicole, so it was good to hang with her too. I even got her to help me wash my car :D I park under a tree at school - it needed it.
We have fun together :D
That night I got to watch a Bears game with my family, I miss that. Especially my dad. He comes up with some interesting things to yell at the opposing team - last game was the Lions. One of the Lions drew a flag, so my dad said that they should have 'his mother come down and slap him.' My mom and I laughed. Then the next penalty (possibly the next play - that was a long first quarter O.o ) he said that they should have 'his mother slap him, his father kick him in the butt, and his dog piss on his shoes.' My mom and I were cracking up - that was one of the more colorful ones :D
Wednesday it was back to class again, unfortunately. The nice thing was Thursday I had no class - I only have one class Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Thursday's class was cancelled from our evening exam (if we have an evening exam in a class we get one class period cancelled). So Thursday I got my hair cut (it was getting long), and then I had to go get food stuffs for my house dinner - it was my turn to cook for everyone. I went to Walmart and decided to get a costume there - I wasn't having any success trying to figure something out on my own. I found a Venus costume, so I'm going to be a Greek goddess for Halloween :D Should be fun, especially since I'm going to be playing at church right after the Halloween orchestra concert - where I'll be wearing the costume. I think I'll take a change of clothes...
For the dinner, I made pancakes and bacon :D People were pretty excited. Except Payton - apparently I stole his idea ;] I've never made bacon in a skillet, so I just winged it. (Wung it? What would the correct grammar be here?) I lust left all the grease in there, so pretty soon the bacon was cooking in its own grease. I got hit by splatters more than once - it's hot! But a bunch of people were saying it was great - it was really crispy, so I guess my method worked :]
Friday it was off to Columbus for a badminton tournament. Ohio State is a pretty campus, though it was too big for me. I like Purdue (I guess that's why I'm here :] ). But it was cool to hang with those guys again, tournaments are usually pretty fun. Especially the late night Bridge games - it's fun to watch how involved people get in them.
The tournament went as tournaments usually go for me - I lost every single game I played. You know, just once it'd be bloody awesome to be good at badminton, rather than halfway decent. Sorry for the slight rant.
The nice thing was, we had originally planned to spend two nights there and drive back once play was done on Sunday (the finals are usually on Sunday with all the prelims on Saturday) - which was supposed to be at 4 so we'd be back here at 10.30 or 11 at night. There weren't that many people at the tournament, so we finished play on Saturday - which meant we got to sleep in today and drive back when we wanted and got back at 6. It was pretty sweet :]
And now I'm watching the Bears schlap the Vikings with Kyle (who's a huge Colts fan and got to watch them lose to the Bengal in person today...). There's 10 min left in the game and it's 39-10. I'm also getting a headache and I have class tomorrow, unfortunately, so I should probably sleep.
Night!

So many free cups!
Monday was a relatively uneventful day, if you don't count me throwing a pen at Kyle. He had been making fun of the fact that the Eagles lost to the Forty-Niners since Sunday when we were watching the game after Ultimate and saw the score. I'm an Eagles fan and he's a Jim Harbaugh fan so the fact that the final score was 24-23 wasn't helping.
Oh, I also registered for this thing called Exploration 2011, a conference for youth going into ministry. I hadn't been planning on going, but I kinda felt like I wanted to so I'll be going to St Louis in November. A plus, I might be able to see the Bogdas (the ones that are still in Missouri anyway...) :D
Tuesday was a most excellent day. I went to Target at 9 in the morning (I checked to make sure they'd be open - they open at 8 :] ). The Lion King is out of the vault, and now I have it in my room :D :D And while I was there, I found Anastasia for $5 :] I love that movie, so I'm excited I found it. I also saw Catching Fire and Mockingjay, the other books in The Hunger Games trilogy. I had planned on waiting until they came out in paperback, but I decided that I was impatient - I read The Hunger Games last Friday and I wanted to keep reading. Besides, they were only $12.50 each, which isn't bad for a hardcover book :] I also went to the library because I obviously don't have enough books. I'm planning on getting a Kindle in November, so that should help me keep control of the flat spaces in my room - I've run out of room for the books!
So I went to class and then signed up for the Paint Crew, then it was to Wesley after to hang for the day like I normally do. I studied Accounting, I had an exam that night, and read Catching Fire. We didn't have our Disciple bible study because most of the group would be gone, so that gave me more time to read :] I took the exam and went back to give my devotion. It was about my rather less than good year last year, and it went really well. People said that it was good and there was a lot of sharing around the circle when I was done. It was pretty awesome :]
I finished Catching Fire that night and started on Mockingjay the next morning during my break between Statistics and Spanish. I finished it that afternoon and took my Linear Algebra exam (which I'm fairly certain I bombed... O.o ). After the exam, I read one of the books from the library - All American Girl, a Meg Cabot fuzzy romance that I'd read before and was perfect for me to just read and forget about the exam.
I just did a little math - I said last entry that I read The Hunger Games in about 10 hours. Well, it took me 12 to read Catching Fire (this number includes the time I was in class and/or studying as well). Mockingjay took me about 7 hours, and All American Girl took me 2 :D In case you wondered if I like to read, and read rather quickly... ;]
Thursday was a rather low-key day, I had some new movies to watch :D I had about 20 minutes left of The Lion King when Kyle walked over to my room to ask a question about dinner (it was his turn to make the house dinner) and he wound up staying for the rest of the movie :] Colleen and I are planning on getting an apartment together next year, so I went to the housing fair on Thursday (and got more cups - people seem to like giving those away at fairs, I got a bunch last year at various BGR fairs too) to get some info and we met up Friday to sort through things. It was fun getting to hang with her again :]
Tonight I'm hoping to get packed so I can leave right after the game tomorrow. We'll see how well that works out ;] Then it's Fall Break for me! :D
Peace.

It's a good thing our defense sucks...
Yay, stress >.< I've basically got 6 tests from last Monday until next Wednesday. Four of them are done, and the last two are on Tuesday and Wednesday. At least it's Fall Break next weekend :D
On Tuesday, Blink 182 came out with a new album, so that was exciting :] Then Wednesday I got to see Colleen again - she's moving into a new place and it's a good thing she moved on Saturday. Her current roommate dropped out and is still living there, but it wasn't going well.
Thursday was Ultimate again! It's really fun playing with them all :] I also talked with Pastor Glen about my devo - I'm doing the Tuesday night devotion in a few days at Wesley. He likes it, so hopefully everyone else will too.
Friday I spent most of the day reading and relaxing. Then a bunch of the guys and I played Bang! and Halo from 7.30pm to 3.30am - that was a ton of fun :D I don't like playing first-person shooter games, so I mostly watched :] I was also reading The Hunger Games (I read it in about 10 hours :D ) so I was up until 4.30 in the morning. Seth saw me at 6 or so and I was about 75 pages in, then when the Halo party stopped I had about 75 pages left and he was laughing. He's one of the ones who marvels at how quickly I read :]
Since I was up until 4.30, I planned on sleeping in. I woke up at 8.45 - I almost always wake up sometime between 8 and 9, no matter the day - and I was ready to get up, then decided that I really didn't want to so I slept for another hour and a half :D That was nice.
For yesterday's game, Andrew's parents tailgated out here at Aldersgate.That was fun. And I've finally learned how to play Euchre :D It's a rather Indiana/Ohio/Michigan based game, people play it quite a bit here. I was playing with Payton, and we were the two that were learning the game. We did pretty well, though :]
Wesley does a parking lot fundraiser on home football games. We let people park in the First Church parking lot and shuttle them back and forth to the game. I helped with that before going up to the game. It was really good too, we raised $785 on parking 79 cars - two records. And we had a small crew in the cold too.
I met up with a bunch of Wesley/Aldersgate people for the game.
Wait, did I say game? I meant to say royal stomping by the Irish. It was rather sad. The final score was 38-10, so at least we scored. And it was pretty cool to be under the lights.
And I remembered why I highly dislike the Big Ten officials. As my dad said, the three blind mice and Stevie Wonder were officiating the game last night. It was really bad.
After, we were going to go to McDonalds for coffee/hot chocolate and snacks, but the lines were pretty long. Instead, we (Ben, Andrew, Seth and I) decided to go back to the house and watch a movie and make our own hot chocolate. As we were getting everything together, we were joined by Michael, Jake and Pat. We started off with The Italian Job on tv as everyone was gathering, and I was watching because I knew the line coming up. However, it didn't sound like it normally did. I listened more and asked 'Are we watching The Italina Job in Spanish?' others listened too and it was. Apparently our tv has a language button, and it works :]
Once that was over, we put in Anchorman. Kyle joined us a little ways into that one. It was a good evening after the game :D
Then today I got to sleep in! I wasn't needed at First Church, so I got some homework done and painted my nails before going to Wesley to practice for service. I also looked up how much it would be for a Kindle - and saw something that made me laugh. For the battery life, it said that it would last 2 months. Then in the smaller print, it said that was the battery life if you read half an hour a day, so one month if you read an hour a day. So, it'll last me about a day and a half... :]
We played some good songs today at Wesley, that was fun. And dinner was yummy :] Ultimate was fun, though kinda cold. And I need new shoes - good thing Fall Break is coming up :]
And now it's time for Carly to sleep. Night!

And I've finally learned how to play Euchre :D It's a rather Indiana/Ohio/Michigan based game, people play it quite a bit here. I was playing with Payton, and we were the two that were learning the game. We did pretty well, though :]
Wesley does a parking lot fundraiser on home football games. We let people park in the First Church parking lot and shuttle them back and forth to the game. I helped with that before going up to the game. It was really good too, we raised $785 on parking 79 cars - two records. And we had a small crew in the cold too.
I met up with a bunch of Wesley/Aldersgate people for the game.
Wait, did I say game? I meant to say royal stomping by the Irish. It was rather sad. The final score was 38-10, so at least we scored. And it was pretty cool to be under the lights.
And I remembered why I highly dislike the Big Ten officials. As my dad said, the three blind mice and Stevie Wonder were officiating the game last night. It was really bad.
After, we were going to go to McDonalds for coffee/hot chocolate and snacks, but the lines were pretty long. Instead, we (Ben, Andrew, Seth and I) decided to go back to the house and watch a movie and make our own hot chocolate. As we were getting everything together, we were joined by Michael, Jake and Pat. We started off with The Italian Job on tv as everyone was gathering, and I was watching because I knew the line coming up. However, it didn't sound like it normally did. I listened more and asked 'Are we watching The Italina Job in Spanish?' others listened too and it was. Apparently our tv has a language button, and it works :]
Once that was over, we put in Anchorman. Kyle joined us a little ways into that one. It was a good evening after the game :D
Then today I got to sleep in! I wasn't needed at First Church, so I got some homework done and painted my nails before going to Wesley to practice for service. I also looked up how much it would be for a Kindle - and saw something that made me laugh. For the battery life, it said that it would last 2 months. Then in the smaller print, it said that was the battery life if you read half an hour a day, so one month if you read an hour a day. So, it'll last me about a day and a half... :]
We played some good songs today at Wesley, that was fun. And dinner was yummy :] Ultimate was fun, though kinda cold. And I need new shoes - good thing Fall Break is coming up :]
And now it's time for Carly to sleep. Night!
