Besides the fun word in today's title, nothing much has gone on the last few days. I don't have any tests for two weeks, so I haven't had to be studying. Tuesday night Kayce, Hannah and I went to the gym for Thriller Night. They have this program every year before Halloween where they teach the Thriller and other dances to spooky music. We also learned a hip hop dance to Monster by Kanye West. It was a lot of fun!
Wednesday and Thursday after school I just enjoyed watching TV and doing some homework. I also packed to go HOME this weekend! YAYY! I got a BEAT t-shirt and free TCBY with my brother this morning, that was fun. This is a very unorganized blog. Woops.
My dorm's fire alarm went off an hour ago. It was annoying and woke many people up. Anyways, now I'm ready for bed. So goodnight!

Day 261: Even More Exhaustion
Sunday Kayce and I went to a service event for Phi Lamb at a church. They were having a fall festival and we helped make cotton candy, popcorn, set up dinner, and other random things. I had no idea that cotton candy was a) so difficult to make and b) so messy. It was windy out and the floss was flying everywhere, so there was sugar all over my clothes and hair. Fun... But we got a delicious dinner while we were there! Yay! And I ran in to a friend from back home, so it was all good. After my nap (see below), I made pumpkin muffins. YUMMM they are so good! Bringing some home for my best friend's family for Oktoberfest (aka pumpkin goodness weekend). :)
Today I had a double date lunch with Elizabeth and our littles. It was a lot of fun, but the entire day I was just so exhausted! I have no idea why. I came home from Saturday exhausted, slept an entire night, was up for 5 hours Sunday and took an hour nap and was still exhausted, slept an entire night last night, took an hour and a half nap today (not to mention falling asleep in class) and I'm STILL EXHAUSTED. I'm going to bed right now, which is pretty early for a school night, especially because I have more reading to do, but I'm just stopping for the sake of consciousness tomorrow during class. I really have no idea what is going on, just that it is really annoying.
Tomorrow night I have 4 different places I could be, so I have to decide what I'm doing... Oh the joys of college! (No, really, I do enjoy having so many fun options!)

Day 260: Fun Exhaustion
Thursday I went to class and studied.
Friday I had an economics test that didn't go so well, but it was Angie's (roommate) birthday, so we celebrated! We went to the A Cafe for lunch and then watched Princess and the Frog for a late night movie night. We all fell asleep during the movie and it took a lot of energy to get up and really ready for bed.
Today I had to be up early to get to Fall Retreat for Phi Lamb. We went to a really nice church for our first part of the day and then moved to do service as a sorority for the last half. We painted the entire inside of a house! This house is going to be used to house women just out of prison so they have a comforting place where they can learn about God. It's such a blessing and we got an inside look before it's finished! We had so much fun, but it was a lot of work. In just over 2 hours, we painted 6 rooms, ceilings, and hallways and did yard work. It's amazing what you can do with 70 people! YAY!
After retreat, my little Swill, Elizabeth and her little, Kayla went to "Fun at the Farm" with Swill's church. It was really far away and we got lost on the way there, but it was worth it for free dinner and lots of fun. we got back about 8:30, but it felt like midnight to me. I have no idea how I'm still awake. Hannah and her roomie Rachel and I tried to do a movie night, got 15 minutes in and got too tired. Hahhaa. My hair smells like smoke form the farm's fire and I keep finding paint in random places (I know it's in my hair, just can't see it...). I'm going to bed and dealing with it tomorrow.
Goodnight! I really hope that the helicopter circling around finds their suspect soon. It's so loud!

Day 259: Fall Fellas
Tonight Phi Lamb and our Brothers Under Christ, BYX had a social. We went to the town next door that has one stoplight. We ate at a delicious BBQ restaurant and then headed out to a brother's family farm. There was a bonfire all set up for us when we got there! We made smores and talked by the fire. Some people played guitar and sang. We also had a bobbing for apples competition. It is finally cool here, so I got to wear jeans for the first time since Ohio. YAY JEANS! Tomorrow is supposed to be cooler, so I'm going to wear long sleeves. Yes, I am really excited about it. Anyways, tonight was so much fun, but I smell like smoke. Also, I really should have been studying tonight instead of star gazing... Oh well. Tomorrow I'll skip CRU and work my butt off for Economics.
Sleeping with the windows open tonight! :)

Day 258: Course Planning Continued
I haven't been up to much out of the usual these last few days. Just been studying, doing homework, fighting with my printer, and going to meetings. Last night after I finished my reading, I explored the list of minors for something I'm interested in semi-related to sustainability. While I have two majors, I still need a minor so I have classes to keep me busy. Even with two majors and one minor, I will only have to take 12 credits a semester, so I might do a double minor as well. We shall see! Anyways, the program I'm currently looking into is Urban and Regional Planning. I really enjoyed the urban planning part of our Sustainability class and I know that I would like the classes, too. Even if it didn't help me in the work force (which I'm sure it would), there's a class on Housing that details all about the housing market and such that would be good to know. There's also a class using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) which is a program that has been discussed in 3/4 of my classes this semester in all different fields. I'm thinking it might be an important tool to get familiar with. Another class I can take is all about historic properties and their preservation. I just think that the subject lends itself to a lot of interesting classes that relate easily to sustainability and anthropology. Just trying to decide which class to take next semester to kick it off.
It's 2 and I'm tired so I'm going to bed. Earliest I've been to bed in about a week or more. YAY sleep!! :) Goodnight!

Day 257: Fall Fun
This weekend was so much fun! Saturday I went to Phi Lamb's family day with Kayce's family. It was nice to get to meet some of my sisters' parents and see them enjoying themselves. Plus, it was absolutely beautiful on the lake with a very nice breeze. :)
Today, Jenny, Sarah and I went to a corn maze 20 minutes away from home. It was a family friendly fall atmosphere with a huge corn maze, putt putt golf, hay bale fort, hay rides, and so much other fun stuff. We had a blast! Inside the maze were stamping stations. You stamped the letter onto the paper you got and had to unscramble the letters after to solve the riddle. It was a lot of fun to have a purpose other than getting out during the maze. We raced a few times to find different things, and got lost plenty more. I know I went around in circles more than I care to remember. We also went on the hay ride that took you to the cow pasture to feed the cows. That was a lot of fun, but really messy. Their tongues are so long and of course, very slimy. All in all it was the most fun I've had this year so far and I got to share it with my Big and Little, which made it that much better.
Me and my Little <3
Me (my hand) feeding a gorgeous white/tan cow!
Hope you had a great weekend!
OH I baked pumpkin cookies with cream cheese icing thanks to my cousin Leann. They are so good and are halfway gone after about 36 hours... Also, I think they caused my roommate to like pumpkin flavors. I may have to watch them more closely!
