went to the journey in the morning then got lunch with balls at the grill. took a nap and woke up in time to watch the usa vs canada hockey game. tough loss. cleaned up my room and the kitchen. then went to the cd which was water aerobics with sydney! it was a lot of fun, although i wish more sisters would have participated. came back and watched the closing ceremony for the winter olympics. i don't know what i'm going to do now that they're over! i love watching the olympics!

saturday was a crazy day. i worked in admissions from 9:45-3. then changed quick and went to see "shutter island" with balls and ashley. which was SO good! i recommend it to everyone, and don't get sketched out if you don't like scary movies, the previews for this movie are deceiving. after the movie ran back to my apartment to change my shoes really quick and met amy to go to the grand prix to go go-kart racing. it was kind of scary at first, but once you got the hang of it, it was fun! after that came back and changed yet again to go to greensboro with liz and jen. went to natty green's for awhile, decided that we were hungry, and went to steak n shake. finally got to sleep at 3 am. crazy.

friday went to yoga in the morning and met with my professor for senior seminar later in the day. found out that i'm on the right track with my paper and everything which was reassuring to hear. went apartment hunting with jen, which originally i thought would be fun...it wasn't. it was really stressful. i'm excited to graduate and everything, but i'm not excited to have to take on the full adult responsibilities and apartment hunting just made all of that more of a reality. we had a mixer with the pi kapps. the theme was "reality tv stars." sarah ball went as kate gosslin and i went as her 8 children. ha.

went to zumba in the morning, but then didn't go to yoga because ashley needed to be taken to the doctor. attempted to be productive and clean my room up, but i didn't have much homework to do. overall a pretty easy night.

crappy weather today. cold and a mix of rain and snow. my main motivation through the day was reservations at the steakhouse with amy, kelly, and alyssa at 4:30. it's soooo good. it amazes me. i got creme brulee for desert. kind of an easy night since i don't have much homework. watched the episode of lost that i missed last night. CRAZY!!!! i'm so excited for next week's episode!

tuesday night was a little bit crazy. had dinner, went to the learning commons, went to cru, and headed back to the learning commons because i had a rough draft for senior sem due on wednesday along with a digital photography test. mofo and leah came and did homework with me for awhile. i do have to say that by deactivating my facebook my work session was TONS more productive. i didn't have as much distraction. however, despite the lack of facebook, i still didn't leave the commons until 2 am. rough.

david johnson is a photographer who traveled to sudan. he photographed the people there and complied the images into a book with a few captions to tell their story. i bought it for my senior sem which i'm doing on the media coverage around the world of the darfur crisis. i've really enjoyed reading and learning more about it, but it breaks my heart to read about the devastation and evil that is occurring there. in a way having these feelings are good because it motivates me to read and research more for my paper.

it was such a beautiful day today! i think it got up to 60 degrees! spent the afternoon in the mac lab with ashley finishing up my portfolio for digital photography. she also hand modeled for me since i never shot my hands. this one was my favorite. went to target to get them all printed, but the printer distorted the color, so hopefully i won't get points off of my grade. went to laha with kelly for dinner. phi mu land for the night followed but lots of laundry, cleaning, and homework...i can't believe tomorrow is monday already...the weekend's just fly by!

whew. saturday was another long day. got to work at 6:20 and left at 3:15. came back and passed out for a few hours. went to get dinner with ashley and then went to see "the dining room" for ids. it was really good! i enjoyed all of the little stories that were told in one bigger story and all of the actors did an excellent job. i really enjoyed it. after that ran back to my room to get ready for snowball. i had to be there by 10:45 to line up for court, but then it ended up being even later because the photographer wasn't there on time. stayed long enough for court and to find out the winners and all of that. i got second and got pretty roses an and engraved picture frame. needless to say, i was exhausted after two late nights and long days. sleep was wonderful.

CRUSH! friday night was crazy. actually, the whole day was a little crazy. kerri was in town for the weekend so i went to get sushi with her, then went to get my nails done with rachel. had to come back and get ready for the presidential scholarship dinner. went to that until 9, came back to change and get ready for crush, and then go to crush. i wasn't going to go at first because i had to get up the next morning for presidential scholarship stuff all day, but i'm so glad that i did. it was probably the best crush that i've been too. i had so much fun. it was worth the late night.
