Snow Everywhere I Go

So this weekend wasn't too eventful. I think it was very relaxing though. Liz and Elizabeth went to MD to celebrate someone's birthday. Becca went to Tech to visit her bff, which left Nora, Clarissa, Rebecca, and me here. Friday Clarissa, Nora, and I watched The Hangover and How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days. Both were good movies. Then the snow let loose all Saturday. At one point we were brave enough to venture out in the snow. We took pictures, and Nora and Clarissa went sledding on recycling bags. Today everyone has returned. That's about it. Enjoy my winter picture!

A Fun Filled Weekend!

My weekend was packed with different activities that I did with my friends. I had so much fun that I sort of feel guilty that I didn't concentrate a whole lot on work, but sometimes it is just nice to do something other than school work all the time. Well Friday the suite, Nora, Liz, Clarissa and me, went out to dinner to Chili's. It was very delicious and much more better than college food. Then we went and browsed in the mall, got back to the room and watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Saturday the suite and Elizabeth went to the movie theater and saw Leap Year. It was such a cute and good movie. After watching it we all wanted to go to Ireland and find ourselves an Irish man that would be our boyfriend. Sunday I got to see my mom, who I've been missing like crazy. She took Clarissa and me out to lunch and coffee. I got to try Thai food for the first time, as did my mom. I must say it was very delicious and I like Thai food. Now its Monday and the fun is over. Back to school work and classes once again.

Bowling

Yesterday at Liberty Lanes they had unlimited bowling and shoe rental for five dollars. I know, what a great deal! My friends and I decided to go and we had tons of fun. I didn't really bowl to well, but that's okay because there is always another Thursday I can take a go at. Besides that, Thursday was okay. Just another day filled with thoughts and events to think about.

Armed and Dangerous

So this week has started off pretty eventful. First off my dorm hall had a "fire" on Sunday. Someone didn't know how to cook and caused something to burn in the oven, which created smoke and the alarms detected it and went off. The fire department came and the firemen saved the day by opening the window to air the kitchen out. Unfortunately the firetrucks went behind the building and we didn't get to see them.

Today I went with my friends Liz and Nora to play bingo. I must of had a lot of luck because I got bingo three times and won two prizes! I got a set of Nerf guns, which someone commented I wouldn't use. Obviously they don't know me because I totally used them immediately when I got back to my room. I also won a DVD game of Deal or No Deal. So I got back to my room and I told my roommate that we had to try the Nerf guns right away. We played with them having a Nerf gun fight and shooting contest. My suitemates also got in on the action and we all had a ball. I felt like I was 10 for almost a good half hour.

Advice for the day: Nerf guns = fun = happiness which means you should go get some :)

Getting Tangeled in a Net and African Poachers

So the first week of classes has come to an end. All went well, except the whole getting tons of work thing, which comes with the territory of college. I enjoyed my lectures, especially my American Archeology class! Now I have a three day weekend to look forward too!

To start my weekend off, I had a very interesting Friday full of fun with my friends. I don't know if I would categorize Friday as eventful or not, but I sure did laugh a lot. Once my classes were over my roommate and I went to play tennis for about an hour. There weren't many people at the courts, only a small girl getting tennis lessons. She was pretty funny to watch because while her coach would clean the court of the balls, she would turn herself inside the dividing net wall and get tangled in it. Clarissa thought it was really funny. Then later that night I went out with Liz, Elizabeth, and Clarissa to Dairy Queen, where we got yummy ice cream. We just hung out there for a while talking about all kinds of stuff. We eventually got on the subject of poachers and if there were any in the Shenandoah Mountains. It was such a funny conversation. We got back to the room later and watched Everafter, such a great movie. After the movie Becca, Rebecca, and Kimberly came over for a little bit. We just talked for a while and caught up with Kimberly, since we haven't really talked to her for a long time because shes at William and Mary. I would say yesterday was quite a nice night.

Now There Is a Good Reason to Take Time Out to Blog

So now I have a very legitimate and valid reason to be on here blogging. I have just got back to school and winter break has sadly came to an end. Now my days will be full of work. Anyways, today I had my first day of classes and I have this class called digital storytelling. I have to keep this journal with pictures, sound, and writing and thought this would be a good place to do that. At the end of the semester I have to compile everything and create the project when he assigns it. So I am now going to talk about being back on campus. Well, yesterday I came back to my room and I got to see all my friends that I 've been missing over break. Today on the other hand I got to start my classes. I had art history 115, historic preservation 207 (American Archeology!), Latin 102, and digital storytelling. Tomorrow I have my other two classes, which makes six classes for this semester and a whole lot of work. I like my professors and nothing else really happened today. I am however about to go see my friend Kimberly, who now goes to a different school because she transferred.
