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.
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!
