Last Tuesday (a week ago, sorry for the delay) I woke up and saw that it was supposed to rain and so planned on wearing my rain boots.
A half hour later, it was monsooning. There was so much water falling from the sky! Where was all this in the summer, when we needed it?
I went to my EAS lab, and after I was in rather incredible amounts of pain. My insides really hurt, so after my stat class (which I was about a half hour away from skipping all together, exam on Thursday be damned) I made a beeline to home to rest.
I spent the afternoon chilling on the couch, so it wasn't quite the productive afternoon I was hoping for, but I felt better by 5.30 when I went to meet the other basses to put together our costumes.
We were going to dress up as whatever, and across the top of our basses we made a Pac Man and had white styrofoam balls. We painted the Pac Man with a sponge, so the first few coats looked kinda funny but it turned out.
Wednesday I went to my classes and then made myself some ravioli :D I went for a run, then had orchestra and GABS till 10. And that was when I started to freak out a bit - my stat exam was in less than 24 hours and I hadn't really studied.
Thursday I woke up at 9 and proceeded to hole myself up in my room to avoid distractions and study. I took a break at 2.30 for the exec meeting, but other than that I was in my room all day.
The exam didn't go as poorly as it could have, but not as well as I'd hoped. Geoff had an exam too that evening, so afterwards we didn't really want to think - so we watched Captain America :D
Friday I woke up and it was rather cold outside - where had the nice weather from the previous day gone?
After class and some more ravioli, I wanted some bookstore therapy and went to Robots and Rogues - a local bookstore just across the river where I had some giftcards. To add to that, I watched Beauty and the Beast when I got back, but then had to work. I was on sound, though, and the speaker that I was listening to was kinda funny. He's an entymology professor here and he was talking about bugs, it was fun to listen to.
After work, I went to Exploration Acres with Geoff - they have a corn maze there and we wandered around that for a while before we were both cold and wanted to watch The Road to El Dorado and have some hot cider :]
Saturday I got up at 9.30 and went for a run before it was time to clean the house for the Halloween party that evening. After cleaning a bit, I had to make a Target run and go to work, so I missed the football game. (I heard about it later, I've never been more glad that I didn't watch a game in my life. Well, until I saw the highlights from the Eagles game on Sunday...)
And when I got back from work, it was time to party! I was Amy Pond and Geoff was Rory Williams (a couple from Doctor Who) and we knew that Mario and Catherine were going to be the doctor and River Song (another couple), so it was pretty funny when Heather walked in as the TARDIS, not knowing that there was already a group of themed characters there :]
The group of Doctor Who characters left to right:
Catherine as Dr. River Song
Mario as The Doctor
Heather as the TARDIS
Geoff as Rory Williams
Me as Amy Pond (Geoff and I both have hash marks drawn on our arms and faces, another reference)
I'm not really a partier (in case you couldn't tell :P ), though, so pretty soon after everyone started to disperse I went to bed.
Sunday I woke up at 10 - that was weird. I'm so used to waking up early that when I wake up after 9.30 I feel like I've wasted my day. And it's only 10 in the morning. Sometimes I wonder what's wrong with me... :]
I spent my morning getting ready for concert, and then it was time to play!
The concert went pretty well, and it was really fun too :]
There are more pictures from the party and concert on facebook, should you care to check them out.
However, I still hadn't studied so no church for me that afternoon, and and I had two exams before noon the next morning, therefore it was officially time to freak out.
I took a short break to go to chapter (where I heard there was quite the interesting party that a bunch of brothers went to on Saturday, and I'm actually kinda glad I didn't go - remember what I said about not being a partier? :] ) and saw a video that Kyle posted on facebook that made me laugh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQBwVFDULQg
And sorry, I was studying instead of writing, so this didn't get written at my normal time on Sunday evening.
Monday morning went like this:
+exam at 8.30
+skip my 9.30 to study Spanish since I hadn't at all yet
+exam at 11.30
And then I fried and didn't want to study for my exam tomorrow... So How to Train Your Dragon was the obvious solution :]
I went to orchestra that evening and made an attempt at studying while watching football, but managed to stress myself into feeling physically ill again, so that put a stop to the studying.
Today I had my lab exam in the morning, and that didn't go quite as well as could've been hoped for... Hopefully I got a few anyways.
I had my stat class and then came back home and made some tomato soup and biscuits for lunch, yum :]
And then I've been writing this entry and watching Seth play Skyrim, and there's GABS rehearsal later on tonight (first game is Sunday!) so I'm hopeful that the ending of my day will go better than the beginning :]
Sorry for the delay, hope this entry is worth the wait :D
