Oh How We Love Our Five-Star Walls!

Last night I went with people from my dorm community to the Davenport Hotel in downtown for dessert. We got all dressed up (or as dressed up as we so chose....) and had a really fun time. And then after dessert, some of us walked around the hotel and had fun. Laura and I shared dessert and took a bunch of pictures. She was kinda my date for the night since we've been hanging out all weekend and goofing off. We had lots of fun pretending we were in the Sound of Music and Beauty and the Beast in certain rooms. It was definitely a great experience off campus.

Yep, that is a golden hippo.... It made my day.... and got me hit by a door....

woke up this morning....

When you wake up and don't feel like rolling out of bed and beginning another day, the best thing to do is get dressed with extra special care. I felt a bit over-dressed all day, but it helped me feel better after having this cold for the past few days. Thankfully, it hasn't been a bad cold. I think I just need more sleep. Because sleep is very good.

My life right now.

that's why they call it the weekend

This weekend was good. Lots of hanging out with great friends and doing random stuff and generally having fun. I think all weekends should be like this.

I have a tendency to try to fit inside dryers.... even at Home Depot.





Hayley does too. :]





I really like making food. Even in our tiny dorm kitchen that's pretty bare. But if you turn on Regina Spektor and make heart-shaped chocolate chip pancakes with Hayley keeping you company, it's some of the best fun ever! That, and eating them for dinner in the Man Cave while you watch Black Hawk Down. However, next time, the boys are supposed to make us food since I've done most of the cooking around here. Happy Monday!

Frozen Fields and Chicken Strips

Living in California all my life, I've never known this was possible. But apparently, when grass freezes over and had enough water in it - as far as I can tell, at least - it creates these sheets of smooth ice. Me and ice don't really mix. But one of the girls in my dorm used to ice skate and brought her skates back from home and found out that she could ice skate on these large patches of ice. So yesterday, she found this pig patch on one of the fields and we all trekked out there to watch her skate - and take pictures. I got out there after it'd already gone dark, so we're planning on going back out today while it's still light out for better pictures. These are the best I've got so far though.

It was freezing out! My fingers were numb after five minutes and I was wearing gloves! Right after, we ran over to the cafeteria for dinner where it was warm. I ate a whole plate of broccoli!!!!!
And then later that night, around 10:00 or so, a few of us went out to eat again at Red Robin. Hayley and I split food. It was so good! It's great to take breaks from cafeteria food and eat something real for once!






Then we went back to the dorm to hang out. We ended up watching Wall-E and then the boys decided to rearrange the Man Cave at 3:00am. Needless to say, we stayed up until 6:30 talking and moving furniture around. I went to sleep around 7:00 and now we're going to make chocolate chip pancakes! It was a very busy day. And quite tiring. But the first week of Jan Term is over and it's the weekend! I'm so happy!
