I blame my no good dirty rotten pig stealing great great grandfather

So I kind of dread Thursdays because I don't like being criticized in T and C and Gen Psych is like my least favorite class. I do like Thursdays because it is that much closer to Friday! Anyway I went to T and C and we all got a post it note that we were supposed to stick on our favorite picture. I got one so I didn't feel so bad but then I kind of wished I hadn't gotten one because the teacher only critiqued those who got a post it. After T and C was psych and we went over the answers for the test. I couldn't remember all the answers I  put but I am pretty sure I got a B which isn't to bad. She did let us out 15 mins early which was a plus. I went and ate lunch with my friends. I had to go put antifreeze in my car because its been dumb lately. It was dripping out so somewhere there is a problem. I went to Lions Lake for a little bit to take pictures and it was so nice out. I could of stayed there all day. Ashley called me and we chatted for awhile. I am so excited to see her,Jac, Beth and some more of my friends tomorrow! I tried to read my photography for a little bit and then watched Friends. Dad wanted me to go to Wal-Mart so I went and got some stuff to try and fix my vehicle until I get home tomorrow. I finally got our curtains hung up in our room! After returning and trying to figure it out, they are now hanging. I ended up getting sticky hooks and a really skinny pole to hang across them. Nora came over and we watched some of Grease before supper. It was a Todd night so we all went over there and ate. Then Nora and I went to Zumba. It was really fun as always. We missed the beginning of the cardinals and when we got back to the room, the cable was out so we didn't get to watch any of it. A bunch of us went to McDonals and played apples to apples like we have for the last 3 weeks now. Nora was the silent killer and won. I studied my photography on and off through out the evening. Now we are watching Friends in our room again lol. I am going to try and go to bed so I won't be tired driving home. Tonight's blog title is from holes and basically its my excuse for not having a great day and the cardinals losing. By the way a squirrel did run in front of several people today so that is out. Well Good Night!

Squirrels are becoming a thing

So unfortunately my 9 am class wasn't cancelled today but that's ok, its a pretty easy class. After class I went over to the Union to see what was going on for Breast Cancer Awareness Day. Not to much was happening and  Spotlight was doing a t-shirt exchange where you could exchange a high school or another college shirt for a ucm one but they weren't that great and I didn't have any shirts with me that I was willing to trade. I went back to the dorm and laid on my bed and watched Gilmore Girls.At 11 I went to Foundations which wasn't to bad today. Then I went to lunch with my friends like usual. I went to Ideas and Visual Arts at 1 which went pretty quick. We signed up for museum projects so sometime between now and November 2, I have to go to an art museum. After class I really wanted to take a nap but Russ, Lauren and I went to Wal-Mart. Apparently Katie and I weren't meant to have curtains because after finding rods to go in our huge window then the curtains don't fit the rods. Its now on to plan D. I started working on my photography assignment but should of went outside first because it started raining so I didn't get done. Shaffer sent me the first camp flyer but I couldn't open it because I don't have publisher on my computer so I then spent a while trying to download a trial version but was unsuccessful. I tried to organize my pictures and go through all my YAC ones that I took over the weekend. I skyped with Brett for a little where he gave me an endless supply of dead baby jokes :/. I know right. Then I went and ate supper with my friends. After supper I came back and was going to get a head start on my homework for the weekend but I talked to my mom instead and watched the beginning of the cardinals game. Katie and I walked over to CCH for DIG. When we got back the cardinals were winning. I talked to my mom some more and chatted with my sister on facebook. The cardinals won 4-3. So they only need to win 2 more games! I don't believe in good luck charms but I am starting to believe there is something to this squirrel thing because Friday, Kaci's friend was passed on the sidewalk by a squirrel, then Monday a squirrel ran in front of Kaci and today a squirrel ran by me. Mike says that the cardinals will end up changing their names to the squirrels. Now we are watching Whose Line is it Anyway and going to try and go to be earlier. Good Night!

DTC

This morning I had Freshman Seminar. We had a scavenger hunt and my group was the first group back but we aren't sure if we won or not.After class I came back to my room and studied for my psych test a little bit more. The psych wasn't awful because it was only 25 questions but there a few I wasn't sure on because we didn't go over them.It only took about 20mins so after it was done I came back to my room and relaxed for a while.Then I went and lunch with my friends at 12:15.Someone spilt milk and I almost wiped out but thank goodness I didn't.Nora and I went small group. It was pretty short to because there wasn't much to talk about and there was only Kirstin there besides the 2 of us. When I got back, I thought about taking a nap but after laying there for a few minutes got up looked up some music.I started on my freshman seminar paper a little bit.I spent the rest of the afternoon watching FRIENDs which I complained about when it wasn't on at the right time and blogged about Special Olympics for the SOMO blog, I will share with you when it is done. At 6 we went and ate supper at Todd. We were going to watch Glee but it wasn't on because of the baseball games. So Kaci,Dalton, Lauren,Morgan,Sean,Russ and Kaitlin just talked and watched That 70's show. Mom called and I got to hear Casen say Rachel a few times, he kissed the phone and said bye bye. He is growing up to quick. I amazed my friends with my lumiton. Dalton,Kaitlin and I were throwing the soccer ball in my room so we decided to go outside and play monkey in the middle with Lauren. After a while we decided to go eat at late night. We sat with some of Lauren's friends. Kaitlin stuck my banana in Jaamal's bowl of cereal and so he's like quit baptizing the bananas lol.Kaitlin and I came back and played just dance with Morgan and Jauan. Now we are watching Grease.It is almost over. Well until tomorrow! O DTC is some acronym thing for cuddling and we were making a bunch of jokes about it tonight.

Hacking

So I have learned that facebook hacking is becoming the number 1 hobby of teenagers in this country lol. I have been hacked more times since I have been to college then ever. Today I was talking to "nora" even though I had a sneaky suspicion that it was someone else. It was actually Sean. At least once a week someone in our friend group is hacked. I went to to sleep pretty quick after my blog last night. I woke up at 10 something when the others came in from playing fugitive. I talked to them for a few minutes then was out again. I got 11 amazing hours of sleep last night and felt great! My 9 am class was cancelled this morning so I could of slept in until 10 or after but I got up a little after 9. After lounging around and watching glee I went to Foundations. It went pretty fast today and he let us out a little early. I then ate lunch with Katie,Sean, and Mike. It was Discover UCM day so there tons of people in the dining hall for lunch. So I was in the Christmas mode last week but Katie was in one day because every time I played a song, shes like this sounds like a Christmas song.  Ideas and Visual Arts went pretty fast too. When I got back, I got to spend the afternoon studying for Psychology yay not. I was in another cleaning mood today so I vacuumed the floor and did the dishes. We all went to dinner at 6 and since Kaci and I didn't have our usual Monday lunch we ate supper together. When we got back, I studied some more/read my chapter for tomorrow's small group/ watched the cardinals game. I fell pretty good about how much I studied now. The cardinals won 12-3 so the series is tied 1-1. Stick It was on so I watched it because I love that movie and quoting it with Jac and Amy. Werner got skype so we skyped for a little bit and got to catch up. Well I am going to get ready for bed. Good night!

I'm sassy and I know it

I am blogging early tonight because I am pretty tired from getting up early and going all weekend and I also don't feel 100% great. Some how Emily and I both did not hear our wake up call this morning if they actually called and we woke up at 7:45 when we were supposed to be downstairs at 8 lol. We managed to get ready in 15 mins and get downstairs not very late. We ate breakfast and then Justin and I had to get up on stage and introduce the improv guys. I am starting to get more comfortable with my public speaking. The guys came up and the had the athletes do each skit thing. On the rambling one Jared had to talk about why he liked peas and it was so funny. After they were done, Mark Musso passed the torch off to Oklahoma since that is where the next South Central Conference will be. We said our goodbyes which is the hardest part of all! Then after managing to get an elevator and get our stuff in our vehicles we were gone. I followed Kim because I was afraid I would get lost getting out of Branson. We had a little mini caravan because Kim was in the first vehicle,then me,then the Bernharts and somewhere in there was Brandon when he passed us lol. Every time he would pass we would all wave and then he would get back in the line until he finally pulled ahead of us. We all went to Lamberts to eat lunch. Justin called Crystal Chalk and Tim Schuster and told them that we had left him and he need a ride. It was so funny and they even took a picture of Justin looking sad and sent it to her. Of course she knew we were lying. After our long wait we finally got into to eat. I had never been here before so this was an experience for me. The throwed rolls were pretty cool. John Bernhart got hit in the head with one after he caught the first one. I got chicken wings which were pretty good. Most of them are in my fridge right now because there was a lot of food. We were all squeezed together in a both and I was towards the back of it so I stood up and hopped over the side to go to the bathroom lol. I shocked everyone. When got done we all said our final good byes and were off. I found my way back to UCM. I was going to stop in Bolivar to see Taylor but I wasn't feeling good so I came on back. Ashley and I are talking about going to see him and Nick next month sometime. I got back about 3.After attempting a failed nap and studying some we went to supper. When we got back I studied some more while the others went to play fugitive. It's to long to explain what fugitive is. Now I am going to hopefully get to sleep soon so I can start off tomorrow energized. The title is because Brandon said that the music at Lambert's made him feel sassy.I miss the YAC people so much already! The cardinals lost the first game of the series tonight but they will can still win.Apparently the north did win the Dixie Stampede yesterday. I thought that it ended even but I lied. Another random story Brett sits in my pink chair every time he comes to my house. The chair is now in my dorm room and Mike told him he was sitting in my chair and Brett's like you mean my chair. I didn't know how much a variation there was between some city people and country people. I won't mention any names but to some city people the county is the subdivision outside of the city. To country people it is the place in the middle of nowhere where the population is smaller then some city peoples' graduating classes. That is just one of the many examples.Well good night!

Hey Burrito

This has been like one of the best saturdays!The only thing that could have made it better is if UCM would of beat Northwest but what can you do. Nora's texts to me made it sound like it wasn't a bad game to watch. This morning we had to get up early because we were all meeting for breakfast downstairs. I blew a dart at Justin which got the whole crazy game going. Somebody got me with one and when I finally got my food, Whitney had to feed it to me lol because no one would unfreeze me. After breakfast Justin and I went to practice our welcome speech for the youth summit. At 9:45 YACers from Louisiana, Arkansas, Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma came pouring in to begin the summit. Everything went off great. We talked at the small groups and got to know each other. Jared and I ran the Spread the Word table. I stepped in since Elizabeth Janes wasn't able to make it. We sang random songs and played icebreakers. At lunch we went downstairs to eat. The food was interesting and not in a good way. They put like strawberry cream cheese on a turkey sandwich and it was nasty. Brandon had us all laughing up a storm because he picked a huge piece of cabbage out of his soup and was like "thats not going in my body" and then there was a hair on something so he wouldn't eat at all then because he said "germs spread." We got back early so we danced to the cupid shuffle in the dark with the lumitons. When everyone got back we had a speaker, Jenny Newbury from Get Into it. Then Joshua Fierce and Marc Pruter from Improve Trick did some improv with us. It was so much fun! I participated in several  including a slow motion one, next slide where I was the commentator  with Whitney and the noises one where when Josh pointed to you, you made your noise. The guests in our Youth Summit today and with the small groups really gave me some good ideas of how I can start dealing with the Spread the R Word at college. Halfway through the Improv thing we stopped to participate in the train flash mob. After Improv thing was over we went back to our rooms for a little bit before we loaded the buses to go to the Dixie Stampede. We all sat on the North side and I sat by Emily and Jessica. It was great as always! This is my third time going and every time I sit on the North side which is fine because the North rocks! It ended in a tie though this time. When you go in a big group you get special attention because we took a group picture and then before it started they announced all the groups there tonight and one was us :). The dart game continued ALL DAY today. Literally we all got frozen like 20 times it seemed like. On the way out of the Dixie Stampede, a group of us were going to take the elevator down but this old lady with a cane got seriously annoyed at us and was get angry so we walked down the stairs. When we got back, a small group of us went over and walked around the landing. WE played ninja and danced around. We sang hey burrito and other songs as we walked and people gave us really odd looks. I ran into Robb E, Mark Musso, Tim and Crystal while we were down there. We got some Orange Leaf which is frozen yogurt and amazing if I might add. We owled at Bass Pro and I gave Matt a piggy back ride to add to the randomness. We came back and then went to Emma and Whitney's room for an after party.  We had a massive pillow fight and dance party. I learned one thing: never have a pillow fight with guys involved because they don't stop until their victim is unconscious. I can't remember who said tonight that pillows were like lead pipes in the guys' hands. I didn't stay a real long time because I am tired and we have to get up early again tomorrow. Another side night, the pranking ideas have already started for sports camp next summer between Julie, Shaffer, Mike and I lol.Well good night!

So new tips

1. Don't stay in Ellis if you go to UCM unless you like to party and loudness. A water fountain has been broke off, glass doors broke and the fire alarm goes off everyday. I am so glad I moved to UCC.

2. It's ok to go to bed early some nights. Don't think that just because you are in college that you have to do something every night. A good night's sleep feels good.

3. Take pictures. Even if you aren't the digital camera just snap a pick every now and then so you remember what the year was like. You will be glad you have those pictures later.

4. Do want you want to do not what the crowd is doing. You don't have to drink because everyone else is, you don't have to go to homecoming because everyone else is.

5. Don't be an over spender. Sometimes you just have to cut yourself off. You have a dining hall plan for a reason.
