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.
