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.
