i feel like so much has happened.

the past week has been a lot of fun. thursday night was katie's dance show ... wonderful as always ... nothing really going on that night. friday was the spring formal. we made flirtinis and took umbrellas to meet the school bus, haha. we were under the impression we were running a little late (catching the bus a little after 7 when dinner was supposed to be served at 7), but really we got there at the perfect time. It was after 8 before they served dinner, so we had just enough time to sit around and say hey to everyone and people watch and take pictures. Richard and Brynnen showed up a little later, I'm so glad they were sitting with us. Brynnen kept saying how they just had to because we had gone together freshman and sophomore year. Dancing was fun, too, we stayed till the very last song (which was 'you shook me all night long,' niiice) and so did most of the crowd. had to wait for a bus back, but we all re-met up at the blarney which was fun, although I'm pretty sure I lost my little pink umbrella there, and I really should probably stop by and see about it.

saturday i went to work, a little tired, as friday was a laaate (but very good) night. I was home fairly early because I just took one (large) party. It was pretty good. Saturday night was Katie's second dance performance, then the dance society party, which was pretty fun, although there were definitely a lot of people there who i didn't know. layla and i ran (no lie) to the blarney at like 115 and had a drink and visited people and meliss was there. we came home, richard and i had a heart to heart, and then the night just got fuzzy & weird. some drama went down, but it's all good now. drama ... no good. saturday night was a very very late night.

ended up working sunday b/c they asked if i wanted to, and yeah, i can use the money, so i went. a little tired, but it was all okay. worked with marsela, made some money, and came home. another heated council meeting, this time over the UAB shortening the period for add/drop (i'm okay with it, but the studco vp made a comment about how "retarded" the dean of the college was gonna look when we handed in a petition with all the undergrads signatures saying we didn't agree ... he was so lame, and so inappropriate) as for add/drop, i think it's a fine change, and so does everyone i speak to outside of council (and even a few in). these new kids, i'm not a fan of. another cause for some heat was the resolution to ask PhysicalPlant and the admin. to switch to using recycled paper, and for student council to say we'd do the same. it's such a "clark" thing to do. i'm in complete and total support of it, but all these kids keep worrying about the cost of recycled paper like it's gonna raise our tuition (which, even if it did it'd be like $1/person - which I think most of us are willing to donate). our new advisor is still pretty iffy in my eyes and did not impress me any tonight.

got home kinda late from that again, took a 2 hour nap. got up, hung around for a bit, then decided to stay up till 2 sketching stuff for PR and watching trading spaces. right, so then my alarm went off at 745 and it was spree day. SPREEEE DAY! we stood in line forever to get bracelets, took 85 bagels and came back here for mimosas and clothes and stuff. headed to campus around 12/1230. hung out. had cotton candy. checked out this band called punchline, who were pretty fun, although not so good that i would make an effort to go see them, if that makes sense. had a good time. went on the teacups with lo and kat. nobody puked. we had fried dough, i saw adam, i saw andy van, we danced around to some jam band, and came home to start grilling. the weather was perfect, not too hot, but nice enough to wear summery clothes and feel good :) the bbq was a success, we had a lot of people here, and some coming and going. it was shortlived and adrienne and i were about to walk to movie gallery when doug and tim showed up. they ate leftovers and walked with us. i like walking places from my apartment, knowing that there are things i need/want and can walk to instead of driving makes me very happy and makes worcester a lil better. d & t split and kate adrienne and i sat down in front of the truth about charlie. i fell asleep not 5 mintues in, woke up near the end, fell back asleep, woke up at the end. stayed up long enough to chat with mo and say bye to kate & adrienne when they left. went to bed around 10, set my alarm for 1145 thinking i'd want to go out (we all thought so earlier), but reset it when i got up. woke up a few times thinking i might actually vomit, but finally got up at 930, went to work to play hostess, and came home in time to meet with my group for intercultural.

it's been busy and fun and wonderful. tomorrow is warm, but thunderstorms ... i kinda like those when you don't have to walk places in them, but just can enjoy them as you choose. :)

see you ... xoxo

p.s. more pictures very soon
