Howdy Ya'll

This weekend was very eventful and included me meeting new people (YAY!), dancing at a hoedown, and watching buses drive around in the figure eight.

Friday night all of us girls went out to celebrate Libby and Abby's birthday. We went to Olive Garden (all 17 of us) and I got to spend some quality time with some girls that are great! Nothing too eventful happened there, we ate, laughed, ate some more, oh and I wore a dress. Note to self: don't wear a dress on a windy day and take pictures outside when you can't hold your dress down. Anyway, after we got back from the restaurant we got all dressed up like cowgirls and went to the square dance. That was kind of a fail considering the boys there were being completely anti-social and didn't want to dance with any of us girls for more than half a song. Boys, you know who you were, yes, all three of you that ditched me. It actually ended up being a really fun night, though. A handful of us ended up at Steak N' Shake eating those delicious, crisp fries, and talking about the events (or lack thereof) of the evening. Note to self again: don't wear a dress and sit in the backseat of a car on top of three other people while two boys are in front.

Saturday was pretty eventful as well. I woke up around lunch time and procrastinated doing my homework. Haven food was our dinner for that night (not as appetizing as Olive Garden, but better than the MP), and after dinner we got dressed up like hicks and headed towards the Anderson Speedway for the Night of Thrills. The Night of Thrills is probably one of the funnest evenings that you will ever experience. Just imagine: school buses driving around in a figure eight track, on the verge of T-boning another bus (don't worry, no kids were aboard). People that were at the Speedway raced their cars, yes their very own cars, like the ones they drive to work. That race is nuts because you don't want to see anyone crash their car but at the same time you want to see a good crash (with no injuries of course). After the races were over, we headed to IHOP, only the best place in the world to order Nutella Crepes. The night didn't end there. We ended this very fun evening sitting in Dunn Lobby playing fishbowl. Fishbowl is a game very similar to charades and Catch Phrase, but so much more fun. We all headed off to bed once my team dominated, of course.

Sunday morning means church. Kristina and I went to East Side together and afterward went to the MP to get some brunch. By the way, brunch the the absolute best thing that a college student could ever ask for. French toast, biscuits and gravy, scrambles eggs. All for just one meal. Get it while it's hot. After we finished our meals, we headed back and rested most of the afternoon and while dinner time came around, Haven was our choice of food yet again. After dinner is where this day heats up. Fishbowl was played yet again, with different people, though, to make things more interesting. Fun times.

Thank goodness for Labor day. I slept in today til noon and woke up to the sound of people laughing, and very loud music. Labor day volleyball! Kristina, Carrie, Abbey and I all went out for some volleyball fun while trying not to get sunburned. We headed in early because we all procrastinated homework these last few days, so today was definitely a homework kind of day. We decided for dinner, Panera was the best option, obviously. After a scrumptious dinner, it was back to the books. Not a very fun way to end the evening, but satisfying, knowing that I got everything done.

I give this weekend an A+.
