Blogger's got a new look - it confused me when I first logged on.
And hey, I'm actually getting to this on time (my usual time anyways) :D
Friday (like last Friday, the 20th) I had class and it was a narsty day. We didn't have CS, so I was done at 2.30 :D That was nice.
At 6.30 I went to see the Hunger Games with Geoff. He enjoyed the fact that a baker was named Peeta (like Pita bread :] ). We went to the Battle of the Bands thing on Slayter Hill (a Grand Alternative event) after, it was chilly though. We both agreed that it should be warmer at the end of April.
As a point of clarification, last week was Grand Prix week - basically the week of the heaviest drinking on campus all year. This is why there's Grand Alternative events all week - to promote not drinking. The free pancakes we got on Wednesday after Third Degree was a Grand Alternative event.
Saturday I got up at 8.45 and decided to read for a while. A while meant I was in bed till 11, heh, oops :] The Grand Prix race was that day, but I had to do laundry and get some groceries so I decided against it. I did get a bit done though.
My great great grandbig (I think, Jason's grandbig so Larn's great grandbig, so yeah I got it), Dana, was in town so we had a family dinner (minus Billy, his family was in town for the concerts). Jason and Dana are dating, so she was in town to see him. It was cool getting to meet her :] It was a weekend of concerts, and Saturday night was the one that Billy, Larn and Brent were in. They're all in the same band - I'm the family black sheep. Frank Ticheli was a guest conductor for all of their bands, he conducted the pieces that he composed. During the last band (3 played that evening), Ticheli was conducting Vesuvius and partway through he threw his baton. I was cracking up :D
After the concerts, I went back to agate and read a bit while watching NCIS and CSI with Kyle.
Sunday I did some homework before I had to get ready for my concert. When I did go to get ready, I discovered that I seem to have gotten taller recently - my orchestra dress doesn't fit anymore. So I put on my black skirt with a black tank top and cardigan-type thing. I got some compliments, so I guess it worked :]
Our rehearsal was at 1 (I got a pretty sweet parking spot too :D ), and then the concert started at 2.30 - our section went pretty well. It was fun :] I stayed to help with taking things down after Philharmonic - and they just keept playing! I think they played an entire symphony. It was good, though :]
I went straight from Elliott to church, and then after the COM meeting there was Psi elections. I was really looking forward to just being able to relax the rest of the evening, when I realised that I forgot to go to Walgreens for some drugs so I went in my sweats. I think that was the first time I went somewhere (not like driving to IL) in my sweats since I went to London. I had to dress nicer every day in London, so now I can't go out in public in sweats, I have to at least put jeans on.
Monday it was back to class, and between classes I went to hang in Elliott.
Lana told us that Liz would be coming over to check out the house, so we had a cleaning party :] Seth, Kyle and I got the second floor common room looking spiffy - we agreed that Lana should tell us that someone is coming every week :]
We had one last short orchestra meeting, then Seth and I went to join the dinner party at Mariah's. We made pizzas and played this game called Quelf - it's a game where anything can happen, really. I'm not outgoing, so I didn't do the ones where you had to act out something. Yet, somehow I won... That was interesting.
Seth and I stopped by Walmart after to get some cleaning supplies for the house - this summer we're planning on doing some serious cleaning.
Tuesday's CS lab was a joke - we took a survey thing and played this game that was supposed to explain recursion to us but was actually rather confusing. We were done in a half an hour. It was awesome :D
I went to hang at Wesley for the afternoon, I got some free food and a massage :D One thing about me, I will never turn down a back massage or rub. Never.
For Psi, our service project this semester was repainting room 30 in Elliott, so I went to help out there after COM exec. I was doing the detailing around where the rollers couldn't get, and that meant that I wound up on the floor painting the underside of these things that are on the walls to help with the acoustics. And Larn is petite, so she got to get up on top of cabinets to paint. We had fun :] After, we all went to dinner at Wiley. Unfortunately for me, since Wiley is the meat-house. Oh well, they also have a make-your-own pasta thing. So it worked out :]
Once dinner was done, I went to Hicks to work on the presentation with my Com group - we had to give a 20 minute presentation (our topic was storm myths) and when we first timed it, it was 13 min. Oops... However, we'd hit the point where we weren't going to be able to get much more done, so we split off to work on our own thing. I was so bloody tired, so I set an early alarm and went to bed.
Wednesday I had to dress nicer for the speech. Then I just about passed out in Spanish I sould probably work at getting more sleep. Except that just keeps not happening...
In Com, my group gave our presentation, in 19.30 - blast! We were so close! Though considering we made the jump up from 13 min, it was pretty good :]
I got a bagle to snack on from the union, and it was nice outside so I enjoyed my bagel by the fountain (though not that close, it was breezy and I didn't feel like getting misted every time the wind blew).
After Stat, I went to Wesley and chilled there for a bit. I played Egyptian (Egyptian Rat Screw) with Seth and Lisa, that was fun :] I wear four rings on a daily basis, so I took the two off my right hand so I didn't hurt anyone :]
I've been reading a book called A Breath of Snow and Ashes - it's the latest one in the Outlander series that my mom and I really like. There's this one line that I really like:
'Frenchmen often invoked vegetables when cursing, not infrequently mingled with sacred references. English cursing generally had nothing to do with saints, sacramants, or cucumbers, but dealt with God, whores, or excrement.'
Heehee, it made me laugh when I read it :]
No orchestra meant that I didn't have to rush home just to leave again! Yay! :D
We had an impromptu movie night - we watched The Prestige. I love that movie :]
Thursday morning was class and hanging in Elliott. Then the afternoon started with lunch with Larn and Jason. I'm so glad that they're both going to be here over the summer too, we can still get together :]
After the house dinner, I was going to go to Party City with Julia to get some luau stuffs for the senior banquet... except it was closed. We got there at 8.10, and it closed at 8. Curses! We rescheduled to the next day and when I got back to Agate I was one of very few people there. So I queued up How to Train Your Dragon to watch while working on Stat homework and called to talk with my family first :D Apparently Papa was there too, he's going to be leaving right before I get back, and he says it's because he knew I'd be coming back and wanted to make sure he'd be gone before that. Thanks, Papa, I love you too! :P
A few people came back while I was still talking, so it was Kyle, Payton and I in the room when I started up the movie. Jake came in and watched some, but then he insisted that he was actually not going to stay the whole time and so didn't sit down. Once that was done, Kyle asked what was next. I had Lion King next to me since I was debating between that and How to Train Your Dragon, so we started that one up next. Seth joined us during that time, and Jake came back, this time to stay for the whole movie. Then, once that one was done (of course I quoted half the movie, you even have to ask? :P ), we wanted to keep with the Disney theme and so Lady and the Tramp was next. Yay for spontaneous Disney nights! :D
Unfortunately, that meant it was 3 in the morning wen I went to sleep. Remember what I said about getting more sleep? Yeah, that's been going just so well...
Friday I had four classes, but only made it to two. I knew I was going to skip one to get some luau stuffs with Julia, and once we got back I wouldn't be able to get to my last class so I just stayed to set up at first church (I asked someone in each class I missed to see if there was anything I needed to know). Then it was time for the senior banquet. I was kinda nervous, if anything went wrong, it was on me since I planned it. But it went smoothly, and people seemed to enjoy it, so I guess it worked.
While I was there, my Psi brothers were at activation banquet. So, at one point during the evening I got back to back texts from Billy and Brent - Billy's was first: 'I miss you!', closely followed by Brent's: 'I miss you more!' I'm pretty sure I had a huge smile on my face, it was sweet :]
I woke up yesterday to a thunderstorm - but hey, the downspout that had been lying across the roof outside my window was fixed a few days ago so it was working :D
We had final chapter, where the seniors give senior rants - they talk about people and chapter. I knew I was going to cry during Larn's, and so that was fun. Both Mike and Mark seem to think that I should talk more... you'd think I was quiet or something. Though Mark also said 'Congratulations on being everything Brent is not, Larn needed a saving grace.' Hee, I love my twin! :] Though the best compliment (not counting my Big's section) I recieved was from Watergate (Chris - the one who delivered my bid and one of the ones I drove to convention). He said that I was a great driver, and that I have a heart of gold. I was touched.
It was fun, but also rather long - we started at 10 and finished up at 3. We were all rather hungry. A bunch of people went to El Rodeo, but I have no moneys so I went home to eat.
So it's Eric's birthday today, so a bunch of people got together yesterday to celebrate. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings, then then lazer tag and Nine Irish Brothers. (I just had water through these, and I didn't join the lazer tagging since I still didn't have money). However, after that we went to Eric's apartment to play Halo! That was super fun, and he got to take a birthday shot at midnight :]
Today I woke up at 9.30 - whoa, sleeping in! Today was also Jazz on the Hill - the Purdue jazz bands played at Slayter. I went to watch with Becca and Geoff and some other Psi brothers showed up too.
When I got back to Agate, Seth was asleep. I made dinner, and in that time he woke up so we watched Star Wars :] I went to play Ultimate, and Steph was there! She's been on co-op this semester. I went overto get a hug between points during the first game and then got a headache after so sat out the second and talked with her. That was nice, I missed her :]
Back in Agate, Seth was watching SVU, that's where my title came from :]
Indiana Jones just finished, and I think that we're going to watch Iron Man in about 20 min when it comes on :]
And my stat final is tomorrow night. The nervous breakdown is coming...
Here goes.
