I did my best

One hundred and fifty five

This is my new motto. (Kinda). Anyway, I tried updating my blog this day. I updated two of 7 days then stopped. Oops. But hey, they are up now! Yay!

Traveling Circus

One hundred and fifty four.

One of the dance profs is on sabbatical this year and she leaves in a few weeks with her son to I think 14 or so different countries. So I did a photoshoot with her and her son tonight for their blog. Here is her son. The kid is crazy good a juggling. (Too bad the pictures of him juggling knives didn't turn out). Now I just have to teach her how to run a blog... =/

[Insert title here]

One hundred and fifty three.

Couldn't think of a title. Fail. Anyway, after our CAB meeting EV and I hung out in the arb and talked and looked at the stars some and E played guitar. It was a good time. Here is the view. Kinda. Looking backwards. (If you looked out you would see the stars and the field... Not that this will make sense to you. Most likely).

The legend of Merk.

One hundred and fifty two.

So, after rehearsal today I helped EB catch a bat. Yes. A bat. How awesome. We then let our new found friend go outside, but not before naming him Mercutio (Merk for short). Our director then proceeded to call us hippies for letting the bat go. Love it.

One hundred and fifty one.

Recovery day post homecoming. Planned on sleeping in, ended up bringing SF to urgent care. Awesome. She suffers from Vertigo. (Insert U2 joke here). I didn't take a picture till right before bed. Here is my (signed!!!!) Tyrone poster. Or part of it. =]

Parade!

One hundred and fifty.

I got up bright and early today to prep for the Homecoming parade. It was epic. Then some of us cabbies went to LK's softball game. (Well, we stopped by...) then got ready for the Homecoming game. I stopped by the soccer game for a bit. Then helped out with 5th quarter. And thus ends homecoming 2010. It was an amazingly successful week and I had way too much fun.

Ladies and Gentlemen

One hundred and forty nine.

Day 5. Variety show. HILARIOUS. Especially the court's version of double rainbow dance. So great. Here are the king and queen of 2010. MM and JL. Awesome.
Also, said goodbye to SM today. She is off to Samoa for 2 years for the Peace Corps. Eek! Read her blog here!

Dodge, duck, dip, dive dodge

One hundred and forty eight.

Homecoming day #4. Dodgeball. Dodgeball in college is intense. Legit. Especially when people accidentally ("accidentally") throw a ball at the camera girl. Sad face. But it was a great event.

[no words can describe this]

One hundred and forty six.




Words first. Tyrone Wells concert was today. I got out of class to help set up. I worked noon to 5. Showered, changed, ate. Got back to see the concert 8-10. Every moment was pure awesomeness. Tyrone is one of the most legit performers probably ever. If you really want to know about it you will have to talk to me in person to get the full effect. Anyway, after the show I talked with the girls, got pictures with them (and Tyrone, of course) got some signatures. Struck the stage. More pictures with Tyrone and Co. (With CAB this time) I wish I had the words to describe the evening. Just pure awesomeness.



Love. Also, if you don't know who Tyrone Wells is. You better be looking him up like... right now.

Meet Peter.

One hundred and forty five.

Day 2 of homecoming week. LS, CW and I went outside to do homework (cause it was actually nice out for once compared to the monsoon going on right now as I post this...) While out there. We found a snake. Legit. So we ran to see it. Apparently he lives in the bio department. His owner is on sabbatical so a girl is babysitting him all year. I took the picture of CW and LS petting Peter. CW took the picture of LS and I holding Peter. SO. AWESOME.
MAD GAB was the event of the evening. Its basically the game Mad Gab, only more awesome.

[kickoff]

One hundred and forty four.

Homecoming kicked off today. Which means everything I have been working for all summer has officially commenced. It was a wonderful moment. Monday resulted in the kickoff. Which included window painting, Caleb Hawley (no clue how to spell his last name) and free desserts. Good times.

Also, rehearsals for Pains of Youth started today. My life just got 10 times more insane.

-L

Save the [dolphins]!!

One hundred and forty three.

This movie. Not ok. Well, the movie was outstanding (more documentary than movie). But seriously. My roommate cried. I don't think I'll be able to eat for days. I'm not happy with Japan... just. not. happy.

-L

Duel.

One hundred and forty two.

One of our first official "big" CAB events was tonight. Dueling Pianos. SO legit. I got to have dinner with these guys who were so awesome. We learned neither of them have taken formal piano lessons, yet they could basically play any requested song. It was such a fun show. We were all dancing and singing all night long.

-L

Easy A.

One hundred and forty one.

The girls and I left GAC and St. Peter to head to Kato for the evening. We did some shopping then went to see Easy A. Highly recommend it. It was so great. Then we headed back to campus and went dancing at The Dive. Such a fun evening.

Walk on the wild side

One hundred and forty.

Andy decided to get a better look at our bamboo plants today. Its a very zen area of our room. Sometimes we all need a little de-stress zone. (Or a big one, we just don't have the space for one of those in our room).

-L

When will my reflection show...

One hundred and thirty nine.

Andy got bored today. So he decided to hang out by the sink and sneakily balance on the towel.

-L

P.S. name the song. (this one is too easy)

Promotion

One hundred and thirty eight.

Today was CAB madness. Seriously. I was running around campus all day trying to get things done for CAB while attending classes at the same time. It was insane. But a good kind of insane. Hopefully tomorrow is less insane, but we roll out Homecoming publicity tomorrow... so chances of that are slim. Either way, here is a picture of some of the Board at the Org(anization) Fair today. We had a good time.

-L

Publicity win

One hundred and thirty seven.

Basically my CAB work so far in a hardcopy form. No big deal. (I basically squealed when I picked them up from print).

-L

Creepin.

One hundred and thirty six.

Andy decided to hang out in all my school supplies today. (And even as I post this however many days later... he is still chillin there. Its kinda creepy though. Its like he is watching me...)

-L

MAXIMIZE

One hundred and thirty five.

After more business work... we all went to a high ropes course at MSU. It was SO awesome. Totally freaky. But so much fun. This was the hardest element. Two single wires. You only balance by the other person. It was insane.

-L

Cabbies

One hundred and thirty four.

CAB RETREAT!!! After a day of business work, dinner at Applebees, and more business work, we got some time to hang out, play catch phrase, etc. Here are CW and LK who randomly switched shirts? I still don't completely understand.

-L

Hello, Andy

One hundred and thirty three.

I think Andy has made an appearance before, but now he is my inspiration go to. (Funny that he came in an inspiration box...). Here he is observing SF and AP as they started our dance party to wake up so we could do more homework. It was fun. Totally helped.

-L

The aftermath

One hundred and thirty two.

=]

-L

Also, we skyped HK tonight. Talked to her about our days and her days with Disney. Too bad internet connection kinda sucked through it.

ATTACK

One hundred and thirty one.

AP, SF and I got sad and bored and lonely being so far away from everyone else. So AP and I went over to Complex and got carried away. We walked the whole building and put post its on everyones door. If we knew someone who lived there that is. It was fun. We were stealth. And got a lot of weird looks. Here is one of the doors.

-L

Bash

One hundred and thirty.

Now that everyone has officially moved back in (yay!!!) we all went to the "back to school bash" for dinner. They had some crazy acrobat show afterward. It was, like I said, crazy. But it ran a little long. Then we all hung out and caught up since we last saw each other. Yay!!

-L

HELLO!

One hundred and twenty nine.

So... I totally spaced on taking a picture today. Till I was in bed and half asleep. Typical. So I tried to take one with out waking up SF (who moved in today. Yay for having a roommate!!) Here is James. Yes, I still sleep with a teddy-bear. And its AWESOME. And I really like this picture.

-L

Dorm life

One hundred and twenty eight.

HD moved in today! Yay! I helped her unpack then AR and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings with her and her family. Then we just talked and hung out. It was awesome. I love being back. But I did have fun making fun of how little a space their bunks leave...

-L

Hypnotist

One hundred and twenty six.

Yes, I have officially moved back into GAC. (!!!!) After unpacking, I headed over to do some work for CAB before the hypnotist that we brought in for the freshman (its their orientation this weekend). Brian Imbus, the hypnotist, has been coming to GAC for a while now. I saw him last year as a freshman, and he is HILARIOUS. It was so much fun to watch again. This is him, telling people that everyone is capable of being hypnotized.

-L

Tagging.

One hundred and twenty five.

Packing sucks. As I have recently learned. I packed up about half our our DVD's (though I think I own all the ones I packed) in this case. I then found a Moosejaw sticker so I decided to tag my DVD case. I'll send it to Moosejaw eventually. Maybe I'll get something free out of the deal. =]

-L

River Rock

One hundred and twenty four.

I headed down to GAC for the day. Met up with some friends (pictured above) at River Rock for lunch and coffee. One of the girls, SM, is off to Samoa in October for 2 years with the Peace Corps so we are trying to see her as much as possible before she leaves. Then I went up to campus to do some work for CAB and then hung out with EO a bit before heading back to Tonka. It was a decently fun and productive day I think.

-L

Also, its September. WHAT?!
