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!
