(Thursday finished up my tests and work for the week. Tests didn't go that great but oh well.)
Friday was Veteran's Day so we didn't have school. Instead, the brother frat, BYX hosted a cookout at the school lake recreation area. We played volleyball, talked, and went out on the lake. Four of us took a row boat and paddled with canoe paddles and two others hopped in a canoe. We just cruised around the lake. So much fun!! When we got back to shore, the people that were left all started taking pictures. Which lasted another 20 minutes (of pure craziness). But the pictures came out great and hilarious. Precious memories. :)
After the lake, the car went to Cracker Barrel for dinner where I had the yummiest pancakes with peach topping. Mmmm. We had a great time laughing there, too. As soon as dinner ended, we raced back to campus for the basketball game. We stood in line for 45 minutes, but that was just more time to hang out with everyone! We won the game with 99 points!
At this point, I went home and watched The Holiday and painted my nails. I tried this new technique where you dip white nails in rubbing alcohol and place a piece of paper with a design on it on top of the nail. It takes the ink off of the paper and transfers it. It worked pretty well, but next time I'm going to use a darker print. Right now they are pink/red/purple paisley on a white background. Next time (aka next week) ZEBRA!
Saturday I went shopping with my friend Sam (not the one from the other stories). We were shopping for Barn Dance which I will tell you about later in the week. But basically I needed a plaid shirt to wear. And I found one. We were looking for boots too, but didn't find them on that outing. We did however run into my little and her best friend (Elizabeth's little) Kayla. They were also who I hung out with all of Friday, just so you know. And today actually. Anyways. We talked for a little bit at Goodwill and parted ways. They ended up going to our next stop and hiding in wait for us to come into the store. Very sneaky!!! Very funny! After both parties finished shopping for the day, A study night was held in my dorm commons. I didn't have any studying to do, so I colored pictures of dinosaurs and solved Sudoku puzzles! So relaxing. Then my brother and his girl friend picked me up for a late night Target/Walmart run. I got a belt and new boots that I will wear to Barn Dance. They are wintery, not western, which means that I can wear them for all kinds of things.
Today I woke up, went to Publix with my brother, and then was picked up by my Little and taken to TCBY. Kayla's boyfriend was visiting and he was forced to meet the "family". The visit was complete with intense questions to determine his character and if he is suitable for our lovely Kayla. He is. Also, the yogurt was delicious.
After TCBY, we ran back to campus for UniteNow Worship. All of the Christian organizations get together after a week of 24hr prayer and have a 3 hour worship session. It is so great to meet people from different organizations and all get to worship together. Just amazing.
After the Worship night, Sarah, Kayla and I went back to the commons again for another study night. Only difference is tonight I did my laundry while they studied. And in the meantime I tried to find classes for Kayla to take next semester to fulfill her gen-eds. It was pretty amusing. They're still at their studies. I came home at 2:15 and it's now after 3. Late night studiers. Woo.
So that pretty much wraps up the weekend! I think I saw my roommate a total of 6 minutes the entire 3 days. That's not good! I hope you had an equally fun/productive weekend!
<3 And a belated Thank You to all veterans and current military members. <3
Sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteIs Publix just a grocery store? I’m from up north—never been to one before, but it seems like people from the south talk about it a lot!
Also, your school has its own lake/recreation area? Jealous! Do you have any pictures of the lake? Is it like totally alligator infested? I would be too afraid to go out on it!
Haha Yep, Publix is a grocery store, but it has awesome food and service. If you have Giant food stores up there, that's close to Publix. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, the lake is about 10 miles away, but it's free for all our students and their guests. You can rent boats and play volleyball, rock climb and other stuffs. But there are indeed gators. So you just don't go swimming ;). I'll be there this weekend so I'll try to snap a picture and put it up!
