Hey everybody! Not too much exciting to share for the past couple of weeks.
There haven't been any trips into the city since the first one. I will be
going again though. As of right now there are tentative plans with
friends to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art next weekend.
This past week was Homecoming. It was definitely different then
homecoming at Eau Claire, but I did enjoy not being bombarded by people
saying "vote for me!" and shoving useless trinkets in my face. There were a few posters
around but not too many. The school gave out so much free food this
week, that I actually did not need the entire fifteen meals per week on my meal
plan. There was pizza, BBQ chicken wings, burgers, hot dogs, pretzels, ice cream, cotton candy, and a bunch of other food that college students tend to go for. There
were quite a few events sponsored throughout the week, but most of them
did not interest me, mostly because they cost money to go to. There was a
free movie night, but it was a comedy that I had seen previews for and
had no desire to see.
Saturday was game day. I did not go to the game as football holds very
little interest for me, however I was happy to know we won, especially
as this has apparently been a pretty bad season for the Pioneers. There
was a free carnival next to the football field though that a friend and
I did go to. There was more free food there, which made both of our
days. Its nice to get free food, and that takes care of a meal, saving money for later. There was also ice cream and cotton candy. The cotton candy
brought back a lot of child hood memories of going to parades and the circus with my family, and the happy times I had there. There were a couple carnival
games, but mostly a climbing wall and inflatable toys, like bounce
houses, an obstacle course and a gigantic slide. These may be geared
toward little kids but that did not stop us. I raced my friend through
the bouncy obstacle course. I lost, but I still had a blast. I made
up for that in successfully climbing to the top of the climbing wall,
barefoot, when Aubrey barely made it a couple feet up. We called it
even-she won the race, and I climbed to the top of the wall.
I played one of the carnival games and won a tiny toy dog. You
have no idea how excited I was about that. I am pretty sure Aubrey
thought I went nuts. All in all it was a pretty fun day.
Today I slept in and meant to do some of my homework for the week. I did
a little bit, but unfortunately not as much. as I had wanted to. I did get together with a friend tonight for the season premier of Once Upon a Time, a show we
both absolutely love watching. I think its safe to say I never thought a person could squeal as much as she did when out favorite male
characters came on. We have decided its going to
be a weekly thing to get together to watch the episode which is fine
with me!
All of my classes seem to be going well, but the first test of how well I am actually doing
comes this week in the form of two quizzes and a test. I also have my
first paper to write. It should be pretty easy to write as its only
supposed to be about 700 words and its on the show Graceland, which is
another favorite of mine, even if I have only seen the first 4 episodes,
but I adore Aaron Tveit, so what can I say?
Well like I said, not to much exciting this week but I am still alive and perfectly fine!
