It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas....

It is too. On Tuesday we got our first snow of the season (it went away quickly). That was a weird day too - when I left the house, it was kinda raining a little. I wore my rainboots - mostly because I was wearing my new blue and white blink 182 shirt and my rainboots are blue and white :D - and I was really glad I did, seeing as how the weather went from fall (rain) to winter (snow) to spring (slush) in one day O.o It was kinda gross by 5 that afternoon.
On Wednesday, I got to take a break off campus since I needed to go to Target. I went there to get some Christmas presents and decorations for my room - lights, some ornaments, and a mini stocking for my door :] I didn't actually get to decorate that night because I had orchestra that evening and homework due the next day.
Then, that night we ('we' being Seth, Kyle and me) stayed up until about 2 again with Skyrim. It's such a cool game :D
Thursday I got to decorate!

My lights go across my windows and closet - and you can kinda see one of the ornaments at the end of the string - it's a red star (and it's in front of the Hogwarts acceptance letter that I got at the MOW dinner :] )







And my stocking for my door :D












Thursday was a great day - I spent it decorating my room, watching Disney movies and hanging with friends. It was fun :]
Friday I got to enjoy my lights - and a bunch of the guys on my floor were enjoying them too :] There were about 5 of us in the house, and all of us were doing homework. It was a crazy night ;] I got my Stat homework done, though, so that's pretty awesome :D
I spent quite a bit of my Saturday at the Long Center. We had a rehearsal at 10.30 in the morning, then the concert was at 8. In between, I went to see the PMO Christmas Show with Kimberly. That was really cool, Kyle was in it, as well as Ryan Hossler - another Wesley guy. It was a fun show - all the PMO groups (PMO=Purdue Musical Organizations, all the vocal groups) sang some cool songs, and the Varsity Glee Club (the one Kyle is in) sang a really cool version of Carol of the Bells.
Then it was time for orchestra once more. Our part of the concert went pretty well. Totentanz was really spiffy :] I wish I played piano. I stayed to hear Philharmonic play Mahler's 4th. They're really good.
Today, I got to sleep in - it was 9.30 when I woke up :D And I woke up to find that I'd somehow managed to take my bottom retainer out and put it in the bedside pocket thing where I keep my retainer cases in my sleep (only it wasn't actually in the case - I definitely scrubbed it pretty good...). I really have no idea how I pulled that one off. During the morning, I watched a movie and then it was time for the WOW dinner. Our theme was Grandma's House :D Most of the women were dressed as grandmas - I got to be the rebellious teenager in my red corset and black skirt and heels :D Shilpa and I played some Christmas carols - me reluctantly ;] - and Stephanie was setting me up with all the various 'grandsons' in the room, including the ones that have girlfriends already :] Then Erin somes up to me and says 'You used to be such a pretty girl.' I responded 'Gee, thanks Grandma.' :] It was super fun, plus I didn't have to get silver sprayed in my hair, so I don't have to wash it out :D
So now I'm watching football with Kyle, Ben and Jake. It's really nice not to be worried about the Stat homework that's due tomorrow :D
Peace.

ps - I just looked over this post - it's short, it's been a rather laid back week.
