I heart Fridays

Last night was a blast. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Michael, his two roommates, and all of their friends that I got to meet for the first time last night that I've heard so much about. We also had a few coworkers come out to the restaurant and have some drinks with him, so it was nice to visit with everyone! I'd like to say he had a great time on his birthday too, and there aren't any embarrassing stories to tell!

I stayed over at his apartment WAY too late last night, and got a very early phone call this morning from my aunt to discuss graduation plans. I was kind of out of it and I'm sure she could tell. I think she's going to be calling me after class gets out, but I can't remember when she said she would call me back.

I slept for about 7 hours until 11:30 this morning, and decided that I needed to get out of bed or I would sleep all day. I dropped roommate off at a luncheon she had, and then came back to the house and ate lunch, then went to my favorite crafting store to buy some paint for the top of my graduation cap. (Katy and I aren't talking about that word anymore.) I think it was my big Erika that suggested that I do an acorn for the top of my cap, and since I am not very creative at all I decided to go with it. I was going to do an acorn in my favorite color of purple, but then realized that purple would not show up very well on black. So instead, I decided to do it in my school colors. You can see the crappy quality picture that I tweeted here. I'm not very crafty/creative by any means, but I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

Oh, and I just realized you have no idea why an acorn. I'm in a sorority (in case you've forgotten), and we have a mascot. Our mascot is the squirrel for some pretty cool reasons that I'm not entirely sure if I'm allowed to speak of or not so it's better to be safe than sorry and just say the reasons are legit. Anyways, squirrels eat acorns, and an acorn is a whole heck of a lot easier to draw than a squirrel. Especially when you have the artistic talents of a 3 year old. I swear I have ADD today.

Anywho, now I'm going to the Health and Exercise Sciences Student Association picnic to enjoy a relaxing barbecue and some volleyball and what not while throwing back a couple cold brewskies. Then it's studying and packing almost all weekend to ensure that I don't fail and not get a diploma!

Happy weekending friends!

I Love 4 Day Weekends!

Classes got cancelled on Thursday because of the icy conditions. I already don't have classes on Fridays, so I got to enjoy a nice, relaxing 4 day weekend. I already told you of my adventures Thursday night, with me going to celebrate my last night at the old O'Connell's location. Friday, I decided that I wasn't in too much of a mood to go out. I had already volunteered to help with scoring for the women's gymnastics meet, so I had that to look forward to for Friday night. At one point in the afternoon, the roommate and I decided to go to Hobby Lobby (and I needed to go to a shop called Christmas Expressions) to pick up some crafting supplies we needed. We spent all afternoon crafting our various projects, and then went to the meet together. Upon our arrival, we got to hang out with our sister Kaitlin for a little bit longer before roommate left to visit boyfriend in Stillwater.

Yesterday (Saturday) was a fun-filled sports extravaganza! I went to the OU men's basketball game at 12:30, and they had a very fun theme. "Star Wars Day" begun with our mascots, Boomer and Sooner, dueling Darth Vader and Darth Maul in an epic light saber battle. They also had things like, Yoda Cam on the screens above. It was a fun game to be at! The men didn't play so hot, but they ended up with a 67-60 win over Colorado. Then I spent the afternoon being lazy around the house, and then went to a men's gymnastics meet at 7. I forgot how different men's gymnastics is from women's. I freaking love the High Bar, and the Floor exercise just demonstrates so much power.

Then last night, I hit up the new O'Connell's on Campus Corner (AWFUL) and then my favorite place Logan's. I went to O'Connell's for two sisters' birthdays, and then because the waitstaff at the new place is the slowest ever, I went across the street to my favorite place ever. I met up with 3 friends from APO while I brought 4 sorority sisters with me. I also ran into a lot of my friends while there. Kaitlin, Rachel, and I spent about an hour or so there dancing before we left to go to a Pike rush party. After the rush party, we hit up What-A-Burger for the deliciousness that it is at 3 a.m.

I'd say that all in all I had a pretty successful weekend!
