what.a.weekend.

Due to the awesomeness of hurricane IKE bringing all this rain our way... this weekend our campus got so flooded! But there is still a lot of fun to be had here at school when it rains! Me and my roomate went bowling Friday night (which you can tell by the pic our scores are pathetic), then of course to Denny's to get some dessert nachos and a Razzdango (the greatest mix of Sprite and Raspberry minute maid drink), then we ended our night with running to Wal-mart to buy Sweet Home Alabama. Saturday was another grey-sky day that involved staying in the apartment and relaxing watching movies all day (which was fantastic). Then Saturday night, my roomate and I went over to our guy friends apartment for open house and watched the 4th Harry Potter and made another trip to Wal-mart to get some snacks! Overall, the weekend was very wet and rainy, but still a ton of fun. Sunday was filled with doing homework and watching football (GO SKINS)! Weather.com says that the rain was supposed to stop after today, so I'm hoping it does so me and my friends can start playing tennis again!

Ollies Follies '08

Last weekend and this past weekend were a compiled event called Ollies Follies, last weekend they had the class competitions in flag football, softball, sand volleyball and dodgeball. Also there were "Wacky Games" which included a girl riding piggy-back to a guy that had an egg strapped to his head while the girls tried to break the egg by slapping the guys on the face with a fish. So this entire week I practiced a dance to Vanilla Ice put together by my dear friend Morgan. Throughout the week we had practices with the part of the Junior class involved with the Variety Show (which is a class competition dealing with putting together a video/talent show)... the whole thing for our class was a 5 minute video and then a 7 minute talent show part. Our video had our President Dr. Bowling, Dean Woody Webb, Prof. Dr. Jay Martinsen, and Craig Bishop posing as a boy band "Red Street" since our colors were red. The video was hilarious and the dancing part we did was by far better than the other classes. The theme of Ollies Follies this year was "Through the Decades" and our decade was the 90's which was perfect since we all lived through the 90s. So some of the dances included were MC Hammer "Can't touch this", Cotton-eyed Joe, Ice Ice Baby, Woop There It Is, Everybody Dance Now, Fresh Prince, and of course, NSYNC "Bye Bye Bye". The Variety Show was awesome, all of the classes were standing up clapping for our performance.... However... when the results came in we came in 2nd to the Sophomore class! It was pretty disappointing, however, to make the night that much better my sister (a senior at ONU) got engaged! So the loss at Ollies Follies didn't even matter anymore =)
So overall a good first full week of classes has gone by to end with a great weekend coming in 2nd under the sophomores but in front of the seniors... and my sister's engagement! Great weekend! Check out the pics :)
