Sadly (or happily?) you are not going to get a day by day, blow by blow detail of everything to happen in the last month. Sorry people. Take what you can get. The Friday after my last post, Joe and Julie and I went to G-vegas and stayed with my familia, complete with G-ma and G-pa, because we were running the Race for the Cure on Saturday. The race was fun and I met my goal of running it in under 30 minutes. Joe is crazy and ran the race twice. I got a phone call that night during the football game from a certain crazy uncle of mine who had run a 15k that morning (he's insane too...side note, sorry i didn't call you back! i kept forgetting!). That night was the (i think) Louisiana Tech game. I think. It was a pretty fun game. I mean, we beat them. That's always good. Julie and Britta and I got bored and left after halftime to go watch Pride & Prejudice. That was fun. I slept through most of it, but managed to wake up for all my favorite parts. The next week was probably very busy, but I likely don't remember it. The week of the Wake game is when we had our CSF fall retreat. Way fun. We stayed in a yurt. It was a ropes course. That picture is of me up on the high ropes course. It was a moment where I had to deal with my apparent fear of heights. I have discovered that I have several fears: unsecure heights (if i'm safe, then no big deal), drowning, and crossing without a crosswalk. Yep. The retreat was fun, and I did indeed make it to the next step. What you can't see is me walking on the two parallel wires from that last step, all the way over to the next tree. The following week was also really busy. I accidentally (I'm gonna kill you, Wes) became president of MA (material advantage). That Friday was Joe's and my 6 month, so we went to Fall for Greenville/ Fall over on Greenville/ Fall to Greenville/ Fall in Greenville to hear the bands and eat the food. There was Dr. Pepper Steak Kebobs (mmmmmmmmm). We (myself and several other people who are in CME) went to Cincinnati that weekend and into the next week for the MS&T (material science & technology) convention. It was way fun, informative (that's for mom), different, and it was a pinnacle moment in my life (that's for dad). Have a few pictures of Cincinnati...
The next week only lasted 2 days, but I had a lot of test in those 2 days. It was homecoming weekend, so I went to Tigerama on Friday night with Julie and Holly, then I went to the Gulu Walk with the High Five club at midnight. It was really cold. Ever since, I've been pretty stuffy. ESPN Gameday was in Clemson on Saturday, for those who didn't see it. I walked down to campus and saw that and looked at the floats. I screamed myself hoarse at the football game on Saturday night. We won, of course. Possibly the best football game I've ever been to. I even got my picture with the tiger finally! Except for the Carolina game freshman year, when the fight broke out and I was on the second row. Sunday was a bit quieter. My car went kaput, so Dad came to look at it and we ended up having it towed back to Greenville to the Volvo place. The week was busy busy busy. But, on Thursday, after much stress of trying to get the tickets, I finished my test and got in the car and Julie, Britta, Rachel and I drove to Blacksburg for the football game. Before you think it, I KNOW that we lost. But, it was a fun trip. We drove up and got there just in time to see kickoff. We sat in the middle of their student section, which was so funny. We learned that their guys LOVE Clemson girls. And who wouldn't? But their girls aren't very big fans of us. We got called a few things, but we mostly kept our sarcastic return remarks to ourselves and the guys in front of us who were both sober and nice. One of them had a girlfriend who had graduated from Clemson. They were nice enough to save me from the guy who really liked to play with the pom pom on my hat. He was really drunk and wanted to actually talk to me by the end of the game. We drove back from the game and got home at 5 am. Yes, that's right. 5. I ended up getting to class/work at around 9:30 the next morning. I was really lucky, because Dr. Skaar (my 8 am teacher) said that they just went to get coffee, because he didn't want to teach. Today, I'm doing laundry and stuff, carving a pumpkin with some friends, then finishing off my halloween costume. Tonight is the halloween party. Yay!
That's all I've got for you guys.

Hello, it's been a while, hasn't it?

Hello family, since most of my readers are family. Hello to the rest of you as well. It's been a while since I've posted. A bit busy, you know? I have a LOT to write about, so if you'll forgive me, I'm going to put it off for a bit longer, because I only have 15 minutes to write right now. I have tons of pictures and stories for you, so just be patient and I'll come back to the blog world soon enough. Sorry I've let you down (cause someone, I think it was auntie M, noticed my absence and said something). Anyway, I'll give you a real post soon enough. Just hold your horses!

Today is Wednesday, September 27, 2006
My to-do list was so boring today that i won't even bother sharing it with you.

Last Friday, I got to sleep in a little bit before getting up to do some homework, because I didn't have transport class. So, after my one class, I went out to the library bridge and high-fived with the high-five club. I had no idea how much fun high fiving is. SO much fun. After high-fiving, Joe and I had lunch, then headed out to the Chapmans' with Sara to go out on the boat. By the time we got started, Derek had joined us, so we rode around and just enjoyed doing nothing in particular for a while. Joe's parents got to town at around 4:30, so we went back and picked them up and dropped off Sara and Derek. We then headed toward Clemson, getting back to the Chapmans' just as it started to pour down rain. We went to dinner at Explorer's and even did some trivia while we were there. We ended up joining a bunch of Joe's friends who were there and sort-of hopped around town for the rest of the night.
I watched the parking lot at church from 8 to 10:30 on Saturday, then went to the game. I chewed a girl out for being in our section. I tried dealing with her nicely, but she gave me lip, and I wasn't about to take that. If you really want to hear the story, you'll have to ask me. I left the game early because it was hot and I was getting dizzy. I went with Joe over to Derek's parents' tailgate. That was yummy food. I took a nice long nap on Saturday evening, then got up and went to the latin party at the basement. I was pretty much worn out before the party even got into full swing. I got home pretty late/early that night.
Sunday, I got to see Jon and Jared and Richard, because they were in town for Matt & Amanda's wedding, which was cool. We went to lunch at Monterrey, where our party of 15 grew to be 31, counting Robert. Poor Monterrey. After that, I went to Rachel's to meet with her and Julie. After that, I went and worked on my take-home test for Dr. Skaar. I took a little break to go to PSA, then worked on the test again.
Monday was the day that God decided to tell me to take a chill pill. I woke up late (as in, at the exact time i usually walk out the door), but still made it to class before everyone, then I was late picking up the football tickets, but the office hadn't closed yet. I was late to CSF but it didn't matter. It seems like everything worked itself out. I also ran about 3.5 miles with Julie.
Tuesday, don't really remember much. Oh, I made soup, and there was a Keramos meeting. The MS&T is beginning to be a bit of a big fiasco, but never fear, everything works itself out. See, I learned that from Monday...
Today was pretty slow. It rained this morning, but the weather reports said it wasn't rainy, so as far as I'm concerned, there was no rain. Ha ha. I made fried broccoli this afternoon. Holly and I ate too much of it. It made us a bit sick. We had church tonight. Quite nice. I did some homework and finally figured out what was going on with the whole circle thing. Now I'm writing to my very small readership and changing my buddy icon to Judy Jetson, because Dory the fish suddenly turned into a really creepy kid today. Like REALLY REALLY creepy. Don't have a clue why.
I think it might be bedtime. I have to stop anyway, because it won't be Wednesday for much longer.
