Well, Halloween has come and gone! I would like to say I had some MAJOR crazy awesome plan...but I didn't. The night before Halloween, Treadway Kids, an Abilene Children's Club, came through the dorms to trick or treat. It was so fun. I put a pumpkin border around the door and homemade these lil ghosts that stuck around the trim. Then I squated in my big ol' comfy chair, in my costume, reading my history textbook to study, with my big ol' bowl of candy. I was informed REAL last minute about this so I didn't really have a costume...BUT! have no fear...I got all duked out in my Greenbay Packers shorts, Favre jersey, and hat! Thanks to my amazing poppy I own all this legit NFL gear straight from Lambo field! I looked SO cool! It was even better they had just won on Monday night in an amazing game!! Anyway...we had alot of lil boys and girls come through and it was ALOT of fun for me, plus I even got studying done!
Halloween DAY...I wore my orange striped shirt to be in the spirit..but not Satan's spirit...haha JK. When I got to chapel..I saw several of my guy friends who had costumes on..OMG AWESOME! I took a pic with Andy and will try to load that up here. It was so funny. Ate lunch at the bean. Then came to my room until my 2:00. That is U100 and as always, Dr. B ran overtime. Well today it was more than usual...and I have a 3:00...so I had to get up and walk out cause my 3:00 is clear across campus and I CAN"T BE LATE or my teacher is not happy haha. That is Bible. I really enjoy this class. It seems FOREVER long...but I like my teacher alot and we have VERY interesting discussion. We are in Luke right now. After class....I met up with Madalyn. We had a mission to accomplish. My ONE college GO CRAZY rebellious act! And if I may say, it's NOT that big of a deal considering what most do haha. There was a sale going on at this place Sacred Art here in Abilene. For only $13, you could get pierced anywhere above the waist...scary to think of the others yes? haha. ANYWAY! haha I GOT MY CARTILEDGE PIERCED!!! I did alot of research on the process, whats best, and the actual place and person. SO I was even responsible while rebelling haha. We had to wait a long time! There were alot of people there because of the sale. At one point we left, ate at the bean right quick, and came back. When we get back it wasn't MUCH longer. When we got in there...the guy was dressed funny...they all had costumes. He spent a little of time just preparing the different things. He was nice and funny. Everything was very clean! Then it began. He made me take a deep breath in, then out meaning prepare I'm about to hurt you, and he stuck me with the needle!!! It hurt, yes, but I could still feel the needle. THATS what hurt more, he had to push through the back of my ear. Madalyn's eyes kept getting big which I'm not going to lie, made me nervous. Then the MOST PAINFUL part happened. He had to close the ring and adjust it. THAT was terrible because I was so tender. BUT, it was worth it! I love it so much! So then Madalyn and I headed back to campus. Then the plan drama began. We had an option of an ACU student party at this barn and haunted house thing...or just this Haunted House in Abilene. It took FOREVER to try and make a plan with Riane and Amanda. THEN they ended up bailing on us and just watching a scary movie and making cookies. That was fine I guess, Madalyn and I just wanted to DO something cause it was HALLOWEEN!!!!!! SO! We got "dressed up". I wore this peasantish outfit and repeatedly qouted.."please sir, can I have some mo" she wore this goofy sweater with a goofy hat and painted a lil nose and whiskers...she was so cute! So we got ready and then went to pick up this guy Sam, a friend of ours, from the Library area. His costume was a seriously injured arm...he had this fake, disgusting thing where he arm looked sliced open and showed the bone...blood everywhere..it was funny haha. So we drove to try and find the haunted house...we failed haha. Instead we drove to wal-mart because madalyn wanted some pita pockets haha. So we went to walmart...all of us got something random. I got my wound saline to clean my piercing. Sam just got beef jerky haha. But we kinda goofed off and stuff and I had fun! Then we had to go back to the dorms cause of curfew. It was a fun night...not THE BEST Halloween, but my piercing is surely memorable! much love

Homecoming Weekend
This weekend has been full of fun and excitement since it is Homecoming here at ACU. Friday I had a normal start to my day. Went to english class, but I got out early which was amazing. I cleaned my room and stuff before chapel. It was a special Chapel for Homecoming so there was a stage with a circus tent over it and then as a background...it was neat. We had our normal Friday praise day, announcements, and prayer, then they did some special Homecoming presentations. After Chapel I ate with my girls and some of Amanda's friends from Austin. It was fun. Then I went and took a long nap which was REALLY nice. I did do some history reading first though and would wake up periodically to read more. haha. Before dinner I just did some random stuff in my room. Met up with Madalyn to get dinner at the Bean to go. Tonight was JamFest here on campus. There were ten groups that performed and it was a HUGE variety. My favs were of course my friends that I actually knew haha. Andy and Stephen, two brothers from Cali played together and rocked. THen a local band I've talked about before, The Rocking Extensions were the grand finale. But there was alot of talent or pure entertainment that just made it fun. We left a little early to go and see a movie..TONS of people we knew were going. Mum and Gramma were coming in, but they were heading to bed. So we went and saw the movie, came back, and most went to bed. I however, chose to stay up on the computer until 3ish. Why was this a bad idea you ask...
I had to wake up at 8:45 (or at least I thought) because Kate was going to be in the Homecoming Parade. However, I ended up being outside way longer than I needed to be waiting, but thats ok. Mum and Gramma met up with me and brought McDonald's breakfast for us all..YUM! Then we sat and waited forthe Parade to start. It didn't take long and it was fun. I took alot of pics. Then Kate's group came about. They did AWESOME! There was a carnival theme and they were like clowns and had this awesome litle beetle they made. They did GREAT! I spent the afternoon with them. I honestly don't remember what we did for lunch. haha. But...we did go to the Homecoming game together. It was alot of fun. Mum bought me a Homecoming T-shirt and we got paw tats on our faces and free foamy things. It was fun! She spoiled us! We got naochos too! Madalyn, Riane, and Amanda came sat with us a lil before half time. It was fun. We ended up leaving early even though I didn't want to cause Riane was our driver and she wanted to. Too bad! But...in just a few minutes I ended up meeting back up with them to go to dinner at Cracker Barrel. OMG was it good. I LOVE their Chicken & Dumplings. Mum and Gramma left after that. I'm glad they made it home safe! I spent some time back in my room after using my meal plan to get groceries. Then I went to Madalyn's to play guitar hero. I had only ever played two songs...so I wasn't too good, she made fun of me! heh. But I forgive her. Then we watched Maury..OMG it was so funny. We are slightly addicted and I know that you all wil lfrown upon that. However, I watch it to see people to pray for and learn from their mistakes. heh After FOREVER!!!! we went up to Riane and Amanda's room. They take forever to get ready ALWAYS! heh. We were going to this guys Adam's house for a smore night. I "knew" him but we weren't good friends, so it was nice cause I formally introduced myself. He is a real nice guy and I felt bad cause the people were not being exactly respectful..it WASNT a party or anything like that...but they just weren't very nice. Trash was left everywhere so I helped him clean up. Then we got back in time for curfew. I had signed out and was staying In Madalyn's room. Our plan was to watch this movie with the other girls Riane, Amanda, Tiffany, and Lizzie. Again it took FOREVER! We finally went upstairs to see ifthey were ready at like 1ish AM. Amanda still wanted to shower! OMG it was crazy. FINALLY around 3ish we started it. The movie was Sybil, the true story of the most recorded multiple personality case. SO interesting! I dozed off at one point, but saw most of it. We went downstairs around 6:30ish. YEAh! I was pooped!
Sunday morning..or later that morning...I got up around 9:45 to go to my room and get ready for church. Kate was picking up Madalyn and I to go to Highland Church of Christ at 10:45. Madalyn didn't make it. Church was alright, I probably won't go back, but it was ok. We got to see alot of people. The speaker was interesting, but had SOME good points. I enjoyed the singing. Afterward, Kate brought me back to meet Madalyn. We were going to the Aida Homecoming play. She wasn't answering so I had Kate drop me off at her dorm. I went to her room, roommate let me in, yeah she was still sleeping. haha So I woke her up, she got ready quick, and we went to the play. We didn't get to eat and we were 10 minutes late haha. So when we got back and changed, we were starving and went to dinner at the Bean. It was yummy. I spent the rest of the evening in my room catching up on some history reading. So thats my weekend. haha. It was really nice to have my mum and gramma come visit.
Today nothing much has happened. My English teacher didn't show at my 8:00 so after 15 minutes we took off haha. Math was fine. Chapel good. Ate lunch in my room...YUM! Did some history reading again but fell asleep...missed my Bible class! OOPS! I didn't hav e U100 because it was just registration for next semester advising and I think I'm in a good place so yeah. Watched maury..funny! We qoute it alot haha. Went to dinner, Morgan ate with us..he's such a sweet guy. Came back to my room...and I'm going to start some school. Tonight we're going to Anson...YIKES! I might not make it alive! love you all and will write soon!

Mid-Term...
So this week is mid-term week. All my tests aren't technically mid-terms, they're just a quarterly exam that are really hard, but not as steep of a grade. Still very important. I had THREE and a major paper! I got through all the tests and just have to finish up my paper tonight. I'm a little nervous because I missed peer review...but I think I should be ok. I feel pretty confident about most of my tests. We shall see.
Sunday was pretty whatev. I slept in, then went and grabbed to go lunch from the Bean. I did ALOT of school. In the evening I went to Hope by myself. It was weird cause NOONE I knew was there, but it was good. I ate dinner there (baked potato) but I had to rush for Swing Cats. I went to the beginners section hoping to get better at the Lindy Hop...but it got boring cause it was SO basic..so I ended up doing more instructing and helping than anything, but it was alright. After that I spent my whole evening doing school, bluh.
Monday I don't really remember. I had english where we worked on drafting our next paper. It is a classical argument paper and I'm using abortion as my topic. Came back and did some prep for my math class. Math was fine. Chapel was normal, just a speaker. Went to the Bean for lunch. Before U100 I spent the next 1 1/2 reading for Bible out in the courtyard of campus. The weather has been so beautiful like allthe time. IF it rains, its at night or during a class heh..I've barely had to walk in the rain. Right now it's been so perfect with like the perfect temperature, it's awesome. Then I went to U100...we have begun the process of registration. It's SO complicated and overwhelming. Looks like I will only be takign 16 hours next semester, hopefully my classes won't be any harder than this semester. Turns out the history class I'm in was originally on my schedule for my JUNIOR year! yeah its been rough haha. Bible had a pop quiz, but I got it all right! haha. That night I think is when I was getting ready to go see Kate at the Kojie's vs. Siggies game..BIG DEAL. Kate had to dress up crazy like and they have to make a huge entrance. As I'm getting ready to go, Barron from Swing Cats calls saying Ethnos practice in 20 minutes, I need to come or I wouldn't be able to do it much. FRUSTRATING but we had to audition Thursday! SOOO I went. It ended up where we still had to pick a song...SO! I take off running from the theater...head to the field just in time to see Kate's crew come in...get pics...got to hug her..then ran back!!! I ended up leaving there at 10:30 to watch the game cause I was just sitting there as they listened to different music, it was lame, cause we weren't learning anything so I left. It was fun! Madalyn met me...we got drinks...took pics...Kate was crazy of course! I am now leaning more toward pledging. But yeah that was that..we all had to leav eat 11:25 cause curfew, me b/c I'm freshman, Kate cause pledges can't do anything for club after 11:30.
Tuesday I was up in the wee hours before actually going to bed and got to be the first to tell my mommy Happy Birthday..that wa cool. Then when I actually woke up I went to history..lame. haha. Then met Kate to call our mum to sing to her. Kate lost her phone at the game so I couldn't call her and was afraid she'd forgotten, but she didn't. We called and it was funny! Mom was glad. It was fun. Then I went to math...we took a quiz which I did great on. Then just did math heh. Chapel was in Moody...we had our small group chapels around campus..mine is now The tough Questions. VERY interesting questions about doubting God and how do we know our faith is real..intense. From there I went to the Ampatheater. Today I was fasting for National Hunger Day, ACU suggested it. Then we are taking a collection on Friday for the money we might hav espent on meals. But at the ampatheater a group of us were getting together to spend our meal time in prayer and discussion over the topic specifically relating to Africa. It was amazing. After that I went to the library and studied for history until psychology. We had the Sexual Education class...SO interesting haha. I find the whole class so fascinating! After class...um...I went with Madalyn to get her drink and our play tickets. She thought we had to buy them at the civic center where it's showing, but NOPE haha. I started not feeling so hot so I went ahead and had to eat something small at this point (3:40ish). Came back to my room to study. Then at 6:30 went back to the ampatheater for our dinnertime prayer and discussion. Madalyn, Riane, and Amanda came this time. It was an awesome group of girls and it was so inspiring. God really touched my heart with the blessings I have, the concerns for those less fortunate, but mainly the fact that I need to hunger, feel empty, and hurt when I'm spiritually starving MORE than my physical concerns. After that, again to my room to study. Around 9 I went to another Swing practice for Ethnos. It was good, we actually learned some of the dance. Then went back to study around 11. Like really its madness with my 3 major exams and my paper. I didn't lay down for bed until 3AM....
Wednesday I did not have a good start to my day. I woke up at 7 to get ready for my 8:00...I dont remember much except I thought I woke up, Kimber talked to me some, but I felt horrible and couldn't get up. I meant to just lay down longer and go to classin sweats...NOPE! heh I woke up around 10:20 missing both my english and math class. Math wasn't such a big deal, we were just reviewing...but English was peer review of our paper..so that wasn't good. I e-mailed my professor and he took a glance at it, but could only say so much cause he was the final grader. But anyway...when I got up..I looked like and felt like death. I turned to look at Kimber and she goes "oh my gosh you do not look normal! haha My face was WHITE, my eyes puffy like I had been crying all night even though I hadn't, and I had MAJOR dark circles under my eyes. Not cool! Make-up helped some, but not much. I went to chapel, met up with the girls. Went to lunch at the Bean. I had that feeling where the thought of food makes you feel sick, but you KNOW you NEED to eat...not fun. I think it was from the fasting the day before heh. But yeah I started to feel better some after eating but it took a while. I then came back to my room to study until U100. Class went well, more registration. Bible...had very interesting discussion. Then study time. At 5:30 I had another Ethnos practice. Then went to the library to meet Riane and Madalyn to study for psychology exam. But instead we ended up watching Top Model while studying THEN to the library haha. Sam, this guy I kinda got to know finally came too. Dave never showed. It was fun. Came back and did history studying...
Thursday (today)I got up early for my 8:00 history class in which we had a textbook test. This sound sminor...BUT ITS NOT! This teacher is super hard and it takes so muc htime to prepare! Lecture was pretty interesting, but I was distracted by my fear of the test heh. I think I did ok. I'm always like one of the LAST people in there, but I don't care. We got out a little early, so I went downstairs to this den to study for my math midterm. Then went to class and asked a few questions. Then took the test. I feel GREAT about it! Then I went to my room for just a little bit before chapel. Today was small group Chapels and I go to Social Justice Chapel. The singing and speaker were great. I ended up signing up to help collect money at the end of chapel tomorrow and for the social justice volleyball team. We're throwing a fundraisor tournament and want a team to play. It should beinteresting since my hand makes me nervous..oh well. Then I got to go lunch from the Bean. I load up so I have leftovers to have in my room, but look like a pig haha. I came back to study for psychology midterm. The lasagna was REALLY good!!! And I got this YUMMY pasta dish from the Vegan place...oh my was it nice. Then psychology class...test..I feel pretty good I suppose. We shall see. I am anxious about all of my scores. Then I went and got drinks with madalyn to celebrate being done. Then we came back to watch Dr. Phil..crazy angry kids. Dr. Phil just basically repeats what the people say and kind've retell the problem without actually helping them at all haha. Then we watched Oprah. This lady that was secretly spending TONS of money without her husband knowing it and they were in massive sebt soon to loose home. It was crazy. Then Madalyn had to meet a kid for class, so I came to my room and watched Maury while doing stuff. It is SO funny! She joined a bit later until dinner. After dinner I stayed in my room until Ethnos practice. We had our "rehersal" that we just learned about and only had half a dance for but it was cool. I like it so far. Then I RUSHED over to Mabee where we watched the office in that one guy Sam's room. His roommate happened to be Morgan another one of our friends who I really like. Then I came back to finish my English Paper. Then I spent a whole lot of time writing this. And I am done. I need to sleep! haha and You are all tired of reading if you didn't quit already. I REALLY will try to do this more often, but theres always something making it hard! haha Follies, midterms, homecoming week, whatev haha. Thanks for putting up with me and pretending to be interested! love love!

Not enough time in a day...
Sorry!!! It has been forever! I can't possibly catch you up on everything and I feel horrible about that! I first want to say, in my last blog I apparently concerned some (mum), with my comment about Friday nigth..."never do that again". That was simply in regards to the people I was with. They were nice just very weird and it was awkward. I thought people I KNEW were hanging out and it was alot of people I didn't! So yeah thats that.
Um, this past weekend I went to AUSTIN! It was with some people from Swing Cats here at ACU and we went to a dancing workshop. The teachers were amazing and famous from NY, teachers who traveled all throughout Europe teaching Swing Dancing...it was an incredible experience! I loved it! I didn't KNOW anybody going except a guy I know through Kate, his name is Barron and he rocks. Otherwise...it was a new world for me haha. We got there Friday night and after checking into the hotel we went to the FED where there was a dance going on. I was nervous because I DIDN"T know ALOT going into it and so I didn't WANT to dance...but I did haha. Different people ask and its hard to say no. That ended a little afte 1AM. Then we went back to the hotel and went to bed, which took a while cause four girls all needed showers! heh. Woke up 8:30 to get ready and grab breakfast. Got to the FED at 9:45 and started classes. They went until lunch from 1-2, then classes again until 6. There was a break for dinner but then another evening dance with live bands. We went to Chili's and were ALL so exhausted! We took a short break at the hotel before returning to the dance. Went there from 10-1:15. Then Sunday...We went back to the Fed for more classes. I only got the beginners packet so I was just observing classes today. I ended up doing one though haha. It was a hip-hop class, but like a Jamaican dorm. It was awesome!!! We left Austin around 5:30 I think. I was exhuasted!!! And sore! But it was a great experience! I got ALOT of compliments from the guys I knew and from those I didn't about how good I did, not just for a beginner, so that was REAL encouraging. We created a secret group called F.U.S.S. where we get together during the week to swing, not as Swing Cats where we're teaching people, just to get our dance on. It's pretty tight, I feel elite! haha. We met this past thursday nigth and it was fun!
This week has been alright. ALOT of school as usual. I had a major history exam which is always intemidating. Math and Bible quizzes. Just alot of homework. Last night (Friday night) was a blast though!!! First of all, Jessica, Madalyn's best friend from home came in from Baylor for the weekend so she was with us the whole evening. We met for dinner and it was my first time to eat in the Bean Sprout, I liked it! Then we headed to Putt Putt! The main reason we were going was because this band The Rocking Extensions was playing there. It is made up of several ACU students, a student from LCU, and a senior in highschool. They are SO GOOD! They have a formal cd and everything which I have now haha. They played last week in the Bean Sprout where I introduced myself. Yesterday I found them all on Facebook, so we're friends on there. After the show last night though we went to talk to them, which means I DRAGGED Madalyn over there haha. We got to talk to them all for a bit, I talked to Morgan for a bit (he remembered me from Facebook), and then the lead singer for like 25 minutes. He thought we were REALLY funny he said, but he also couldn't tell when we were being sarcastic and when we weren't. haha. We played Putt Putt during the concert and I won!! It was alot of fun. Our whole group was there but they played right behind us cause they got there later. Then we left from there and went to Oplon Dance Hall, the two-stepping place. When we got there at 10, we only had 30 minutes until it closed haha. But it was worth it. ALOT of students were there so it was FUN! I stood around for a long time just talking with everyone...it was getting close to the end and I was getting mad. I was like "I will NOT be happy if I paid $4 just to stand here!" haha Then the last song started...I was getting sad...heh...THEN! from across the room I made eye contact with Colt...a freshman here at ACU..he is like one of the cooler guys that everyone knows and he is "popular", but REALLY nice! He started walking over and I was like "Madalyn! I just made unintentional eye contact with Colt and I think he is headed this way!" FYI we didn't really KNOW eachother yet...he knew Riane though so we knew of eachother. But he came up and was like "who wants to dance?" Jessica and Madalyn both looked at me and he just put his hand out...haha. I was like YES! haha So it was funny, he helped me since it had been so long since I had done it..then we small talked. haha. He was a good leader. Then the song ended and I was very thankful, he was like Sorry I didn't come sooner. SO! My money was worth it cause I got a dance in and the girls were jealous haha. We left there and kinda drove around. We showed Jessica the sites...then ended the evening.
Today...I slept in of course. Don't have any major plans. I'm supposed to be meeting Riane and Amanda for lunch soon...then who knows. They take forever though Soooo I hope we make it before the Bean closes! After I probably just need to stay in and do school. Saturday nights are always more mellow than Friday nights. OH YEAH! We had our tatoo club last night! We all put on fake tats, generally in the same vicinity...it was tight. They are all so lame so its really funny. I just had two roses on my wrist. Again, I need to see if I can get pics up on this thing! Ok well I am going to go..I REALLY will try to get better about this so it can be like a daily thing, not so much at once, and better stories! Love you all!

I got ALOT of compliments from the guys I knew and from those I didn't about how good I did, not just for a beginner, so that was REAL encouraging. We created a secret group called F.U.S.S. where we get together during the week to swing, not as Swing Cats where we're teaching people, just to get our dance on. It's pretty tight, I feel elite! haha. We met this past thursday nigth and it was fun!
This week has been alright. ALOT of school as usual. I had a major history exam which is always intemidating. Math and Bible quizzes. Just alot of homework. Last night (Friday night) was a blast though!!! First of all, Jessica, Madalyn's best friend from home came in from Baylor for the weekend so she was with us the whole evening. We met for dinner and it was my first time to eat in the Bean Sprout, I liked it! Then we headed to Putt Putt! The main reason we were going was because this band The Rocking Extensions was playing there. It is made up of several ACU students, a student from LCU, and a senior in highschool. They are SO GOOD! They have a formal cd and everything which I have now haha. They played last week in the Bean Sprout where I introduced myself. Yesterday I found them all on Facebook, so we're friends on there. After the show last night though we went to talk to them, which means I DRAGGED Madalyn over there haha. We got to talk to them all for a bit, I talked to Morgan for a bit (he remembered me from Facebook), and then the lead singer for like 25 minutes. He thought we were REALLY funny he said, but he also couldn't tell when we were being sarcastic and when we weren't. haha. We played Putt Putt during the concert and I won!! It was alot of fun. Our whole group was there but they played right behind us cause they got there later. Then we left from there and went to Oplon Dance Hall, the two-stepping place. When we got there at 10, we only had 30 minutes until it closed haha. But it was worth it. ALOT of students were there so it was FUN! I stood around for a long time just talking with everyone...it was getting close to the end and I was getting mad. I was like "I will NOT be happy if I paid $4 just to stand here!" haha Then the last song started...I was getting sad...heh...THEN! from across the room I made eye contact with Colt...a freshman here at ACU..he is like one of the cooler guys that everyone knows and he is "popular", but REALLY nice! He started walking over and I was like "Madalyn! I just made unintentional eye contact with Colt and I think he is headed this way!" FYI we didn't really KNOW eachother yet...he knew Riane though so we knew of eachother. But he came up and was like "who wants to dance?" Jessica and Madalyn both looked at me and he just put his hand out...haha. I was like YES! haha So it was funny, he helped me since it had been so long since I had done it..then we small talked. haha. He was a good leader. Then the song ended and I was very thankful, he was like Sorry I didn't come sooner. SO! My money was worth it cause I got a dance in and the girls were jealous haha. We left there and kinda drove around. We showed Jessica the sites...then ended the evening.
Today...I slept in of course. Don't have any major plans. I'm supposed to be meeting Riane and Amanda for lunch soon...then who knows. They take forever though Soooo I hope we make it before the Bean closes! After I probably just need to stay in and do school. Saturday nights are always more mellow than Friday nights. OH YEAH! We had our tatoo club last night! We all put on fake tats, generally in the same vicinity...it was tight. They are all so lame so its really funny. I just had two roses on my wrist. Again, I need to see if I can get pics up on this thing! Ok well I am going to go..I REALLY will try to get better about this so it can be like a daily thing, not so much at once, and better stories! Love you all!

Full of Follies
I wanted to take a bit of time to re-cap my weekend. This weekend we had Freshman Follies, a production of different groups from the Freshman dorms and some solo specialty acts. As you know I was a co-director for our hall, so having 25ish girls that are dependingon you is slightly stressful, but you know me, I function well if stressed and rushed heh. It was a VERY interesting process, but most of all I love how I met the majority of the hall and got to make some new friends. It's awesome! Our show went really well!!! The entire show was great and had a large variety of types of shows put on. However, I heard alot of people who did and did not know me bot hsay they thought our show was the best of all the girls!!!! I was so psyched. Friday my parents and gramma got into town. We went and had dinner at Crackerbarrel, SOOO good. I had chicken & dumplings and hashbrown casserole! YUm! Then they brought me back to campus. I had to be in Moody by 7:00 for the 8:00 show. Our act was the LAST girl act...so yeah we got to chill a LONG time in there. We did different stuff...played cards...goofed off...made alot of new friends...practiced...chilled. It was fun! Then we went on! We did SO good! After our act we stay close to stage because we all go in for the finale...BLUH! we did a song and dance from Highschool Musical...which is a BIG hit right now but I am not in on the excitement atall! Oh well. After the show...I came to my room to relax. I was going to go to Wal-Mart with Madalyn but ended up meeting some other friends I had made at Java City. It was a VERY interesting night, not what I expected and probably wouldn't repeat haha.
Saturday...I had to be in Moody at 12:00 for a 1:00, after that show we went DIRECTLY back into Moody for a 3:00 show. Mom brought me subway in between which I have been craving...YUM! Both of those went really well. I feel like we were quieter at the 3:00, which kinda stunk cause thats when my family was all there. Oh well. They loved it. My giant dorito bag was a hit. I'm going to try and see if I can put pics up on here for you guys who couldn't see it. After the 3:00 I felt a little famous having fans there. haha JK. My family and I took pictures..dropped off my stuff...and went to eat at the Jelly Bean, I got quiznos for dinner. We all sat and ate and talked. After that...my gramma disappeared and my parents and I sat out on the benches for my last 20 minutes of my break. They got to meet my best friend Madalyn....it was cool. Then they left for the football game. Madalyn and I went back into Moody. I was soooo pumped about the ACU football game and sad I couldn't go, cause I maybe might have possibly put $20 on the game that we would beat New Mexico...OMG we did!!!!! I was so excited. My mom texted me score updates all throughout the game...but they left early. So when the whole night was over and I was in the lobby of Nelson I saw a cheerleader....asked her what happened..and we had KICKED BUTT!!! WOOHOO! That was a division II school FYI! haha. So yeah I was siked. but anyway! We did our last Follies performance. It was such a blast and really fun. Hanging out was fun! I played volleyball, which ended up popping blood vessels on my arm and bruising it..weird! I slept alot too and even studied but just a little. Madalyn jumped off the floor of the upper section to the court with her umbrella to slow her fall...her booty is sore hahahaha. It was all in all a GREAT time. Afterward...Madalyn and I went and changed, went to Rosa's for drinks and a snack, then met our friends at Monk's. They were having this hang out thing to raise money for invisible children...it was ALOT of fun! We got back 20 until curfew. We had fun! When I got back I talked on AIM a while and then showered. Went to bed at like 2:30 or 3:00 and had to get up at 8:25...haha FUN!
Sunday: Kate picked me up and we went to meet Mum, Pops, and Gramma for breakfast at Crackerbarrel. I had biscuits & gravy, hashbrown casserole, and an egg...what I ALWAYS get and LOVE! It was yummy! When we left there it was our goodbye. They headed home and I came back to my dorm. I think I took a nap until lunch...but not quite sure haha. Yeah I think so..then I met my friends for lunch. After that I did work in my room until church time with Kate at Hope Church of Christ..which I LOVE! Church was really good. I liked the speaker, he was ayoung and married only a year, VERY energetic speaker. At first it was a little much, but it was just so refreshing to have someone TRULY PASSIONATE speak to me about my relationship with Christ. Afterward Kate left, but I stayed to eat with Katie and some other people I didn'treally know. She brought me back to Campus for Swing Cats. It went alright. I got some BAD partners..some GOOD! So it was fun. I came back...showered...and did school.
That's my weekend!!!! Follies basically ruled it with fun late nights in between. I made alot of friends this weekend, new and better ones with what I already had. It was awesome! It was great to have my family come and visit. They got to see my new room set-up, support me in my show, meet my friends, buy me food, it was great! Tomorrow I will write about the first half of my week!
