just a catch up!

So, I just noticed (well not just) that i haven't posted in a while. . . life has been a little more than crazy around here.

Monday - hung out around here. I went riding with Morine and had a blast. We rode for something like four or five hours up at Horsetooth Park. very beautiful. came back and walked over to Avo's but they decided that night not to put on any swing :-( so I came back and watched movies with friends. And ate the banana nut bread/cake that Morine brought me as extra from the one she made for Tim. it was really good. And gone within 24 hours!

Tuesday, did the class thing. Kinda forgot about a meeting that I had scheduled. I freaked a little. I had written it down but then it slipped my mind. I ended up going to Buffalo Exchange instead and finding out when I got home that I had forgotten the meeting. I did get a great pair of shoes that I am using for dancing. They look like ballet slippers, but they are black and shiny.
I also went to the block and bridle meeting and then to salsa dancing at the Rio. It was a trip. there were about half a dozen of us girls from campus that went. And we got hit on by old mexican guys. Not my idea of fun. I did enjoy dancing though, I am planning on sticking to swing.

Wednesday was one of the crazy days. Had class, then went to the Colligate 4H meeting. Until Shane showed up, it was slightly estrogen-ee. Went dancing and we were in the ballroom! Lots of fun. I was swing dancing!

Thursday was crappy though. I cried 4 different times. Yes. 4!!! I came back from my first class with the intention of working on a paper, but I had gotten an email from Josh. . . and it touched a nerve. And so I went through the rest of the day, not in the very best mood. And on top of it, I had to be in a lab that I really didn't want to be in. Went to MV's bible study which was more of a party because it was Beth's birthday, so we played games. I did call the Bedlions and found out, they possibly/probably/ maybe moving to Minisota over Thanksgiving. Translation. i would not get to see Kenny . . . yah. That really sucked. And I couldn't really do anything because I was at Beth's birthday party. I left my bike across campus, so on my way over to pick it up I called Lindy and we talked a while. And I cried. (2nd time) But it was what I needed. we spent over an hour just catching up. And I felt a lot better. . . . and then came back and was talking with my neighbors and my RA came by and made a comment about my "slightly depressed" status on facebook. Well, I ended up crying while I told her a short version of what had gone on. Later on, I was thinking about it and she was one of two people to that point that had hugged me that weren't in my family. so I went and thanked her for that. and ended up crying again. It was one of those bad days. But yah.

Friday was fun, got out of class kinda early, talked a little bit with some different people in my seminar class. Almost put my foot in my mouth about evolution being taught in public schools . . . also in my seminar class . . . Went swing dancing with Haley, a girl on my floor, at Club Tico. That was a blast. Live music and at least a dozen dances! I had fun. And I learned how to lead lindy. I am not that good, but I can do it at least a little.

Saturday I got up early and went "home" with Lynne and Laura. We went to the football game where COLORADO STATE BEAT CU!!! It was amazing! And lots of fun! then we came back and worked on homework and watched movies. We had gone down to paint a fence, but since it had sprinkled just a little the night before, the owners decided they didn't want us to do it.

So we headed back early. When we got back, I went on a "procrastinating-on-doing-homework" expidition. I went to the rec center for a little bit to see if there was blam practice. there wasn't. Then I decided to go try to find Goodwill. Which was more than I was bargining for, because on my way there, I almost got hit by a car, while I was on the sidewalk . . . fun times. But I did have fun exploring the store. I even found another swing skirt! Yah!! Came home and did lots of homework . . . and went to a worship night with some of the people from my dorm. Worked on more homework . . . and that was my sunday.

Today, got up went to class. Did homework and finished my laundry. I went to an Ag Teachers Association, which is basically the equivalent to Collegiate FFA here. Or the most involved, closest thing. Got plugged into that, but the down side is, I have to miss BFA. Went to blam practice. which was fun. Worked on couples dancing. And I am going to work my hardest to make the troope. Signed up and will be preforming on Saturday! I am doing the simplest possible thing but that's okay! I am getting my name out and showing I do want to do this. And there are girls from my floor already saying they are going to come watch me . . . I don't know how I feel about that, but I think I am going to let them come . . . After Blam and proformance stuff, I went to the library to study and avoid having to go to the floor meeting . . . yah. I was happy. Talked with Matthew a little while . . . and yah.

I really should be going to bed. it is already tomorrow!
