Bizarre happenings in "The Brook" toonight. (My res hall for those of you who aren't me and have no idea what the crap I'm talking about currently.) Alex, Sharky and I were sitting in the lounge, Alex and I celebrating her return to the land of pop, aka the end of Lent. Out of the blue the Easter Bunny ran through the lounge and down the hallway, and dissapeared. Seconds later, he was back, bouncing in from of Alex. Where he dramaticaly wiped out, face first. His candy flew everywhere, and he looked really sad for spilling all of his hard work.

Alex and I giggling started to help him pick up his candy, and after we'd picked up about half of it, he got up and ran off again leaving us a huge pile of candy. After he left, we all kind of looked at each other like what the snap just happened here?

I did feel bad for him, because he looked really sad that he had spilled a lot of his candy, but he got back in the spirit quickly I think. Oh, and if you hear or read me swear any time between now and september, tell me I swore, I have to keep it clean in practice for Bible camp this summer. I don't think a "damn it" would go over well there.

HAPPY EASTER

Aaah, my 2nd of 3 last midterms is over. I felt like I knew what I was doing, so that's a plus, well at least I hope so. Then, after my test I was walking back, and I took picutres. I love taking pictures. I got downtown with rain clouds, cool flowers on the trees by the footbridge. The "witches tower" with awesome clouds and pretty green grass. I really want one of the lights along the bridge, facing east bank. There were stupid walkout people handing out fliers though, so I changed my mind for the moment.

It's hard to believe that it's almost summer already. I've been living in a good sized city for almost 9 months now. It hardly even seems that big anymore. It may be knid of strange to be home for the summer. Well I won't reallly be home for that long, but two weeks between finals and staff training. I will even be attending Al's graduation. I'm somewhat nervous for that event though. Oh, but prom won't be a treat either. I'm excited to war my dress, get good pictures, and see Albert. Otherwise I could do without. I'm afraid to be immersed in that high school again. I really do love it here. I'm way happier here year round than I even was during high school, even though I was sick most of this year. That's saying something.

Next year is going to be a good year. I'm excited for the majority of my classes. Al and I are finally going to be together again after a year. I get to be a health advocate, and I get a kitchen! Though, I do wish I were able to see Laurie more often. I saw her at Christmas break, I'll see her a bit this summer, maybe a week. Then not again until Christmas break. Though we will be going to Hawaii, so that's exciting.

Anyway, someone woke up a tad late today, so she needs to go shower before lunch.

Coming soon....the best quotes of the 2005-2006 school year.

I juggled with Alex's oranges, one has a gash now.

Alright, I currently have no motivation what-so-ever to do my homework. So I'm going to blog for >30 minutes and then I'm going to work. So this weekend after much ado Albert came down. On Friday we went shopping, and I bought tank tops for camp, a pretty tank top for fun, and a new purse that looks like a tank top kinda. On Saturday we went to the resident hall spring formal. It was a decent formal, a lot more like a high school dance than I anticipated, but oh well. The chocolate cake was worth it, as well as getting to dance in the water. Oh, and stealing a table decoration, that was all Albert. We also got pretty good pictures.

Today was a wierd day, I went to all my classes except calc lecture of course. I quit calc lecture because I got more confused there that I already was. Not to worry though, I still go to discussion and do decently on the tests. Freshman seminar was a joke, we had a presentation by two of the classmembers about behavioral genetics. This is what I'm doing my final paper on, so it made me sad, because they used sources from 1991, you can't do that in a field like genetics it's too dynamic. Bio discussion freaked me out for our test, and after discussion I realized I'd forgotten to print my lab report for the previous experiment, so in the 1/2 hour between discussion and Bio lab I had to book it back to my dorm get my report and book it back to MCB. I was only a little bit late, but it still made me a littel sad that I couldn't go from MCB to my dorm and back in under 1/2 hour. I even took the bus.

Lab itself was bad too, we were there all three hours, and we were the first two people out of both lab sections. We are growing and cloning E coli currently, and two girls left while their electrophoresis gel ran to go eat, and the brought our TA back a piece of pizza, into the room of E coli. He made them throw it away. It was good fun for those of us who didn't have to take care of them though. I was very proud today, my acquaintance friend Ben in my lab didn't spill anything today. He actually got a quote when he spilled the flask of E coli a couple weeks ago. Our TA Bernard told him he was going to have to get in the shower because he had to wash it off, and he became very flustered, and explained that he didn't have any E coli on himself, as soon as Bernard left he said ... know what it's not funny anymore, so never mind I ruined the story.

Alright I have a couple more minutes left to blog. So I'm going to tell you my schedule for next semester. I'm going to take Calc II, Organic Chem I, Principles of Nutrition, a class called Intimate Relationships that fullfills about 3 of my liberal education requirements, and Biology coloquim. AAAugh, crazy first semester. Ok, bloggin' time is up, I need to do some more Calc.
