I'm sorry! It's been ages since I've posted...hmmm...what has happened...
WELL I was out of town last weekend in Ypsilanti, Michigan. That was a fun time. I went with the exec board and a few other positions of the sorority to DLC, and it was both fun, informational, and tough. Tough? Because we drove fooooorever, arrived at the hotel around, 2.30, three a.m., which was really an hour ahead because of the time difference. Yay loss of sleep hours!! We were running on low tanks all day.
However, things were alright in the end. I met other sisters from other colleges--a very odd notion! And ever sister I met, I liked, but I appreciate my own house oh so much more now. ^_^
School has been going fairly well. This Wednesday is going to be the real kicker, though. Since we've implemented study hours for the sorority, I need to now blast from here, the admissions office, to the chapter room, to the CLC, to my room briefly, to costumes...OH MY. So looking forward to when the play is going to be overrrrr...
Bah. Well I should be heading out soon, then. I have looooooots to do!!
Happy readings,
Julia

Life
College Tip# 11...avoid drama as much as possible.
Yup.
Hokay, so. Costumes last night was fun, low-key (as usual, though. No drama usually at costumes!!). I hung out with Zach and Pat for a little bit afterwards; they left this morning for Iowa for Conference Finals. Good luck, go Red Hawks!!
Speaking of swimming--my little brother is going to Sectionals for swimming!! It's pretty sweet!! I'm so excited for him! I should tell him that...I'll do that later.
Well, the week has just flown by! Tomorrow is Friday, which I am quite excited for. Mostly because it means the end of the week, the start of the weekend, and SLEEEEEEEEPPzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..................

Allo allo!
SO!
I realize that I haven't blogged for a few days! Catch up time...
Friday night of the weekend was fun. There was an art opening down at Rodman, and I have to admit it was one of my favorite art openings. The artist works with wood, and his pieces were incredible!! Also, the food for the opening was incredible--they went above and beyond for this show. I was impressed on all sorts of levels. I waited in Rodman, then, for Zach to get off of work at Storzer, and then we went grocery shopping (I need some food for my room!) and also bought food for a late, late dinner. We watched "Meet the Robinsons", a Disney movie. It was cute, not my favorite, but enjoyable. And it was a nice date with Zach.
Saturday the sorority had retreat, which was fun. It was an all day affair, but there was some good bonding time. Afterwards Zach and I left for Milwaukee...you know that Spring is somewhat on it's way when it's still light out around 6. I'm at work right now, it's 4.33. A month ago it would be well on its way to becoming dark!!
Why Milwaukee? Well, because I needed a new laptop. We stopped by my house, had dinner, talked with my parents a little bit before they headed out to the Buck's game, and then we went to Best Buy to see what was available! There we found my new laptop! And Sunday morning we went out with my dad and brother to pick it up...long story short--mission accomplished and thanks to my wunderbar parents for getting it for me!
Zach and I also visited Emily and Ross while we were there, and went to a place called Ma Fisher's. It was like my other favorite 24-hour diner, Johnny Vs, but almost better I feel. It was great! Good times.
Hmm what else...Yea. Now the new week has started, officially the 4th week. 12 more to go...
So I realized today something kind of scary. Time is SO elusive. I found a penny in my pocket in between classes today and looked at the date. It was made in Denver, CO in 1999. A series of things ran through my head, like "oh yea, right before the whole 'Y2K' deal, right before one of the most exciting new years ever...OH MY GOD THAT WAS TEN YEARS AGO!!!"
Ten years ago!! I was in fourth grade...Ten years ago!! I...gah! 2000, the year that was so easy in History classes because we could easily subtract for historical dates, or even our parents birthdays. And then after 2000, we'd just tack on or off another year, still using 2000 as the base marker...Oh my god.
Sigh. On that note of my realizations of time and age...gah! I'm off to dinner. I'll see you all later!

Woohoo coffee is mah friend!
Dear readers,
I love coffee, especially from Gooseberries. Zach did make it up to me for missing our coffee date, and we went in between classes. It was really fun, and the scone we split was just amazing.
However, Friday evening was very awesome. Though Gooseberries was forgotten (boys are silly sometimes...), Zach took me to Roadhouse for a pizza and a pitcher of soda--so tasty! It was actually quite special and cute too, because we got there right as they had closed, but let us in, and made us the pizza anyway--so we got to dine there alone and it was really cute. Delicious pizza, too. Yum! Afterwards we went to Robyn's room and watched "Death to Smoochy," which is a funny movie. Patrick was there as well!
Saturday I didn't end up doing as much homework was I thought I was going to do...however, my room is SPOTLESS. I vacuumed, dusted, put things away...I feel way better having people over, haha. Which is why I had some girls over for tea and coffee, and then a double date with two freshmen, Emily and Bill. Emily is pledging, and is so sweet! I love her. And I was Bill's mentor in the FYS class, and I approve--he's a great guy. We ended up watching "Kung fu Hustle"--ridiculous movie, might I say. I laughed a lot though.
And Sunday I did homework, and Amanda finally came home! She went home (well, home-home) to Milwaukee and had a fun birthday weekend with her family, and has returned with Cheesecake and Strawberries. So tonight we're having a fun mini party!
Classes went alright today, one was canceled so that was exciting! Very exciting, actually...huzzah! Ah well. Normal schedule for the rest of the week...
Okay--I'm off!
