Air quotes

My morning started out very early since I was supposed to be in Jeff City at 8. I left here about 6:15 and managed to make it to the Jefferson State building without getting lost. I was the main media person for the day so I got to tweet and post to facebook as well as taking pictures. They were going to have me take pictures on the top floor but there were already two photographers up there so I went to the 2nd floor where they were doing the practice repels. Since I was still going to be off ground level, I got to put on the gear like everyone else, put on a helmet and get my camera strapped to me so that no objects would fall and hurt me and I would drop any objects that would fall and hurt someone else. Being at the mini wall was really interesting because I got to see everyone's expressions when they realized what they had decided to do. Some people would be like ya I can do this and then immediately start freaking out as they went down the wall but no matter the person, they all smiled and said they were definitely glad they decided to do it. For a little while during the day I got to go outside to were the crowd was and watch. I got to see many of my SOMO family members and catch up with some National Games friends. Megan Neighbors was there with her baby girl. Her baby has the bluest eyes and is so cute! Over the Edge was just a really great time because I got to hear a lot of stories and make some new friends. I struggled some this morning posting to facebook because my phone was being super great but by the afternoon, I had the kinks worked out. Next year, I am 100% sure that I want to go Over the Edge. After loading pictures onto the computer and saying goodbye I was back to the burg. When I got back everyone was hanging out in Lauren M.'s room. There was an international festival going on in the union so walked over hoping to eat some food but it cost $8 so we went and ate at Todd. Russ's family came up for the weekend so we got to see them. After dinner Justin, Joseph,Lauren, Lauren,Dalton,Kaci, Sean,Morgan, Russ, Russ's brother Kyle and I played Just Dance 2 in my room. We had fun and the guys actually got into not just moving the remote only (cough cough Brett cough cough).lol. Then Kaci, Justin,Joseph, Russ, Kyle and I went to Justin's room to watch Radio! Always a great movie. The others went to the Rec. Russ hit me with a pillow and a board on Justin's bed fell and hit him.Karma haha! Then I came upstairs and chatted with the others for a little bit and now I am going to bed so I am not so tired tomorrow. Random things of the day the guy at the mini wall that told everyone to do had metaphors for everything like your chances of the rope breaking are the same as falling into ice while getting your arm bit off by a shark and winning the lottery. I used air quotes at supper so Morgan and I were joking that we should take air quotes alot. Diane and the others sent 2 boxes of donuts and a half a gallon of juice home with me.Guess where my friends will be at this week.Apparently it was the night of arguing (well not really arguing just disagreeing)with people because I was arguing with Brett on facebook and Kyle about whether cheerleading was a sport. Today was a reminder of why I want to be a photographer/work some in public relations. I love it and working with the athletes. O I almost forgot I got to see Sharlet and Tina today which was awesome because I missed them so much!I miss my whole National Games tennis crew. Well I am off to bed. Good night!
