I'm legal!

It's been quite the week. I seriously can't wait till I'm in Florida in three days...
So last Monday was a fairly typical day - I worked out, I went to classes, I went to Wesley.
Then I got back to my house and discovered an angel statue in my refrigerator  Seth, Catherine and I are the big Doctor Who fans, and we were the three that discovered an angel figurine in the outside apartment - the villains in some of the more freaky episodes. Knowing Seth did that and seeing his laundry in the washer, I waited for the cycle to end and put it in there for him :]
After orchestra, I ordered a bag for my little as a present for Second Degree, and then it was tie to sleep.
Tuesday when I woke up, I discovered that I've been invited to an interview! It's for a Sears Holding Corporation summer internship, and I've never gotten a callback like this so I'm rather excited :]
I had work before classes, then needed to make a Target run. And then I figured out what to give up for Lent - grocery shopping unless it's absolutely necessary, like if i'm out of milk and have cereal left or if I actually run out of food. The goal is to actually eat what I have, not just some things and keep replacing those.
Wednesday I woke up at 12.15a and thought it was time to get up. And again at 1.35 - enough people were writing on my facebook for my birthday that it was actually waking me up. When I got up, I had 18 texts... all the text messages! I went to workout and decided that I wanted to DisneyBound for the day, and I had the perfect stuff to do Mushu!

The look as it is on DisneyBound.

The look I was rocking. I had my yellow converse on as well, and orange earrings. My mirror is really gross, though (and I hadn't realized how badly until I went to take this picture) so sorry for the poor quality.









And it was rather quiet at Wesley, which was odd.
After classes, I watched Lion King! And then had an exam... But then got to go to Buffalo Wild Wings with Larn! So it turned out to be a pretty okay birthday :]
Thursday I had a busy day. At 9 in the morning, I had a lab exam review, then a registration appointment at 10 and next was family lunch at 10.45. I had ballet at noon, then went to Wesley to slowly go into freakout mode about the Linear exam I was about to take. Meh...
But I got back to my house to a Valentine's Day care package from my mommy! It had fun socks, a chick flick (The Lucky One), and puppy chow - quite the perfect Valentine's Day box :D
For Valentine's Day with Geoff, I went over to his place and he made us a yummy tortilla soup and stuffed peppers and brownies, it was all quite delicious. He hadn't thought I would want to carry around my presents  going out with Larn, so he gave them to me that evening. I got a River Song sonic screwdriver (Doctor Who) and Millenium Falcon magnetic bottle opener (Star Wars) - he know me so well :D
The Valentine's Day section was dinner and a bouquet of roses and a pretty bracelet. And Thor :D
It was quite entertaining - at one point Natalie Portman swerves the car she's driving and Geoff said 'she's a terrible driver!' To which I responded 'well if Chris Hemsworth was sitting next to me I wouldn't be paying much attention to the road either!' :D
It was a wonderful evening overall :]
Friday I got up to workout and then it was time for my lab exam. It had a rock identification section, and I got 18/40 last semester on the rock ID lab exam, but I was feeling a bit more confident after the review session.
After Spanish class and lunch with Claire, I had no more class! To the mall! I needed shoes for an interview outfit so I went to the Payless Shoe Source and got a Cinnabon since I was there :D
And when I got back, there was a bird in our house... That was joyous. Seth and Michael teamed up to get it out a window, and then we cleaned the second floor common room.
And then it was time for Nine Irish with friends! It was me, Geoff, Lisa (Jones) and Seth - we had a good time. And I got some cider - yum!
Saturday I had an interesting shift at work - it was a culinary throwdown, so that was cool. But they only ordered like three things from us so once those were gone I had nothing to do, so that was boring.
After, I did some homework and watched the Aristocats - I'm so excited for Disney World!
Michael sent out a message to a bunch of people that he was wanting to make dinner (he really likes cooking) and gather with friends, so that evening a bunch of us gathered to eat a yummy dinner. I peaced out before they started watching the Blues Brothers to go see the new Die Hard with a different group of friends (Geoff, Joe, Ian and Dex). That was fun too - I love the Die Hard movies :]
Yesterday I got up and worked on a few things, then it was time for my concert. And the concert was good - we played pretty well. I was going to go to the GABS game after the concert, but I was helping with stage crew so I missed it. Oh well, we lost anyways so it wasn't a particularly fun game.
I hadn't finished my Spanish essay, so after chapter Geoff came over to help me stay up and get it done (I was super tired and if I'd been on my own, I would've fallen asleep).
Then today I got up to workout, but since I went to bed super late last night (for me anyways, it was 1a) I was about to pass out in the middle of Spanish class. I made it though, and I got lunch with Claire (since I'm going to be gone most of the week, we got our weekly lunch together early). After Stat, I worked on some homework at my house, then shifted to the ME building for our Active Hunt - where the BITs all had to come find groups of actives to find out the info needed to get our signatures. We didn't have orchestra today, and I'm still kinda annoyed because Andy said it would either be today or Wednesday, and I was looking forward to possibly being able to drive home at 3.30 on Wednesday instead of 8p, but oh well.
And now I've got an interview tomorrow, so it's time to get to bed.
Wish me luck!

It's the Final Countdown...

As of today, there are 10 days until I go to Disney! I'm so excited!
So last Tuesday I got the awesome work shift at 5.30am. And it was a boring one too. Fun fun fun.
But when I got back to my house, I had time to watch Eddie Izzard's Dress to Kill - a stand up comedy thing that is bloody hilarious, though admittedly I have a rather British sense of humor.
When I went to class, I didn't know how it was only 11.45 - I don't normally get up at 4.30am on Tuesdays so it felt like it should've been much later.
I went to ballet class, but we didn't do that much ballet. Our teacher was going to another class for the week, so we got a different teacher. It was fun, we learned about dancing from other times (like renaissance and period dancing).
After the last of my classes, I decided to watch Emperor's New Groove and do some homework. Yay Disney :D
Wednesday I did my workout and went to classes, then got lunch with my little. We talked about Disney, Star Wars and Harry Potter - we're going to get along great :D
One more class for the day, then after orchestra I spent the evening reading and watching Seth and Michael play some video games.
Thursday I had another early shift at work, this time it was a sound shift at 6.30. Four hours of reading later, I'd finished the Wilderness series and gotten halfway through another short book. I love my kindle :D And I got to get pancakes from Pappy's since Katrina forgot about me in the sound booth and had thrown all the extra food away. The pancakes were yummy :]
We did some more fun dancing in ballet, and after Linear I worked on homework and watched Payton play Gears of War. And now I'm back to back to paper books - and back to Outlander! For a while it was me and Catherine in the second floor common room reading - we like to do that :]
Friday I got up to workout and go to classes, and we met to continue planning Spring Break. It's me, Liz, Mariah, Seth and JJ who are going to be travelling together, it's going to be fun :] Our first few ideas were unavailable for the week we'll be there, so Virginia it is! We'll be going to Willimasburg for a few days.
That evening I sat down to read at 5, then looked up at 7.30 and realized how dark it had gotten and that I hadn't eaten dinner. Since I was no longer hungry, I just went back to my book :]
Saturday was a pretty chill day. I spent some time with Geoff where we watched Iron Man and Captain America :]
And then I read some more. I finished Dragonfly in Amber, cried at the ending (I'm now 3 for 3 at that part) and that was about it.
Yesterday we had a GABS game, and we lost :[ And it was a dreary day outside, so between the game and church I watched a few episodes of QI rather than go back outside.
Then after chapter I made some pasta and watched more QI with Geoff. It was a good day, excepting the whole losing to Michigan part.
And then today I've gone to workout, and now I need to shower and get ready for class.
Ten days!
Later!

Nothing Beats an Astronaut

Yet another late post - yay...
While I'm warming up for my workout I watch Sports Center. Wednesday there were a number of hockey highlights and it's fun to see hockey again in the top plays (since I can't watch it anywhere else...)
I went to my classes, where my stat professor told us that he just scheduled our first exam. In two weeks. Right in the middle of orchestra. Which is the last orchestra rehearsal before our concert. It's not going to be the worst birthday I've ever had but probably not going to rank up among the favorites either...
And it's only been 4 weeks but evidently it's time to make my registration appointment for next fall already...
But on the bright side, I got an email that said I'm gonna get a new laptop battery soon! Huzzah!
After orchestra, I went to Orange Leaf with my Psi family. I love my family, we're so fun :]
And after that I facetime'd with my mom and dad. I love my family :D
Thursday I was up and at 'em to go to classes. And when I got back to my house, my new battery was here! And once it was fully charged, I had 7 hours of life! It's the little things in life :]
We had a GABS game that evening against IU. The men had played them on Wednesday and I watched the beginning of that one at Orange Leaf. And it wasn't exactly pretty, but the women won, which is more than can be said for the men's team... (the final score of that one was 60-97...)
When I woke up Friday, my Weather Channel thing said that it was 4 outside, feels like -14. Lovely. And then I looked a few minutes later it was 3 and feels like -15. This just keeps getting better...
I went to workout and classes quite bundled up - running tights under my jeans, 2 pairs of socks and long sleeves. After, I went back to the house and read a bit before going swing dancing! The Purdue Jazz Bands were playing music in a gym in the CoRec and the Night Train swing dance group taught a few basic moves, and then we danced for 2 hours! It was a ton of fun :]
Saturday I got to do some more more reading all day! I had to go to work at 3. 8 hours and 45 min later...
I got back to my house and, ooh I had a card! Form Aunt Kelly. I KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!! My Disney things are here! Like the luggage tag and things. I'm so excited :D
Sunday it was time for Tapout, which means I've got a little! Billy got one too, so now there's seven of us.

Larn was there!

All of us! Left to right:
Nick Andre (AKA Esquire) - Billy's little!
Billy!
My twin!
Larn!
Me!
Claire Alexander - My little!

I pretty much love this picture. We had a family group hug and someone got up on a chair to take a picture. We're awesome :D











We went to lunch together (the 5 of us actives) and then the younglings had to get together as a class so  I went back to my place and it was time for sweats. And the Superbowl! Geoff came over to watch with me, and we decided to watch Eddie Izzard skits instead of Beyonce at halftime :D
I think my favorite part was the power outage, I was laughing pretty hard when it first happened :]
I was planning on going to sleep a bit earlier but then it turned into a good game so I was up past my bedtime. Oh well.
My favorite commercials: MMs, Oreo (You have to stop fighting now, we're the cops! :D ), Axe (Nothing beats an astronaut :D ), Tide and Bud Light. Geoff and I laughed pretty hard at all of these ones :]
Today I struggle-bussed on getting up to workout, since I was up late last night. I got it though, and after my workout I went to classes and chilled at Wesley in between (so, a usual day) and almost passed out in Spanish... That was fun. I'm going to sleep early after orchestra tonight :D
Later!
