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'm busy as a bee...

I know that I have been neglecting my blog and all of my blog friends. I do love this outlet and catching up with your lives dearly, but this week is super busy. Super super busy.

You heard of my busy Friday and Saturday. Sunday wasn't so busy, I was in bed most of the day recovering from my Saturday night. Then I went and visited my aunt Annya at her hotel that evening, followed by spending some time with a guy that I like to hang out with. Monday I did the whole class thing, but Monday was kind of crummy as well. I learned we have a nutritionist, and I feel like I'm being put on a diet against my will. I didn't do very well on my piano exam. Then we had formal dinner. I went and hung out with that guy again, and it was nice to get to escape the things that had stressed me out that day. We watched the awful men's national championship game together, a movie, and a couple episodes of Arrested Development. I've never seen Arrested Development before, and it's pretty freakin' funny. I was also introduced to some new music, wish I could remember names of artists...

Tuesday was super busy. I had class all day, and then I went to the OU/OSU bedlam baseball game to hang out with my APO little Nageen. My throat had felt funny all day, but I ignored it and went on with my day. Then yesterday I woke up with THE WORST sore throat ever. As the day progressed, it got worse and worse. Last night was our annual BBQ philanthropy, and I had to leave around 7:15 because I just felt so terrible. I went upstairs to check my temperature and it measured a 100.3. That's pretty high for me, as my internal temp runs a little cool at 97.4-97.6. I called home to tell them I thought I was getting strep throat, and Annya informed me that Emma has strep. I figure if I have it, it's from being at Chuck E Cheese's on Friday night, damn snot-nosed kids.

I tried to go to Urgent Care but seemed to have misplaced my insurance card since my appendix fiasco, and they wouldn't see me unless I paid for everything upfront. A whopping $112. Who has that much cash on hand? So instead of being seen last night, I came back home, drank lots of water, took some tylenol and vitamins, and took my sick butt to bed. I was in bed by 9:30 or so but I didn't fall asleep until almost 11. I slept for a solid 7 hours before I woke up, and my fever had broken in the night. I have an appointment at 2:30 today to be seen for strep, but now my ears are aching really bad.

If this is a bad case of allergies, this is the worst I've ever had. I don't really understand my body. I'm taking better care of it than ever before this semester, and it's not responding well. I usually have a kick ass immune system, but I've been sick THREE TIMES now.

And on top of all this, the week isn't slowing down at all.
I have tickets for Miranda Lambert's show in Norman tonight.
I have a BIG/little date with Nageen tomorrow--dinner and a movie.
Relay for Life is Saturday, 7:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m.
Sunday is Chapter and Initiation, and then one of my good guy friends from high school is coming into town.

Even though I'm sick and busy, this week has been good and fun so far! The BBQ last night was fun and I think it was successful, and I've enjoyed the time I've gotten to spend with Nageen getting to know her better. Our capstone project is also well underway and it's going pretty well so far!

Here's to hoping I get some rest in the next couple of days!

I'm obsessed. It's a problem.

I'm obsessed with Love Actually. This is seriously like my 6th time to watch it since it was returned to me last Thursday. Yes, that's almost a once per day average. It's a problem. I can't help it. It's a damn good Christmas movie, and a good movie to watch in general. I think Natalie is one of my favorite characters, and I think it's because her first line is "Hello David, I mean sir. Shit I can't believe I just said that. And now I've said shit. Twice." That's the best ever first line for a character if I do say so myself.

So the reason why I am able to blog today is that I have now completed 2 of 5 finals, and my next one is not until Monday at 1:30. So I have quite a bit of free time! Last weekend was completely insane. Friday I went out with my little and grand little to a fraternity date party. That's right, the two fraternity date parties I've been to, my dates have been my family and one of their boyfriends. I like to think I'm a balla like that. We spent the evening dancing and drinking and having such a fun time! It was a Christmas themed party, and here is a picture of me and my three dates:

Then Saturday morning I drove to Dallas to watch my Sooners beat up on some Cornhuskers. See ya later Nebraska, enjoy the Big Ten.

Sunday I had sorority meetings all day, and since Sunday I have been doing homework, projects, reports, and studying for finals. Wish me luck on the remaining finals I have!
