Random stuff

So i haven't posted in a couple days, but that's ok.  I've done a lot since then.  so I'll start with Thursday night. I went to mass in my residence hall then socialized afterward.  We ended up jsut exchanging funny jokes.  Some were really stupid, but pretty much just really hilarious! I also learned a really fun song about friday and a hippo.  It was so relaxing and enjoyable to just to hang out right after having mass.  then Friday morning came and i had a test in my growth and human development class. unfortunately i didn't really study much for teh test, but i still think it went alright.  Before the test I woke up early and went and got coffee and listened to the radio and studied for over an hour.  I'm really glad I did because I was able to get settled and relaxed before taking the test.  Then a friend and I volunteered the Hope Lodge Center for the American Cancer Society. We talked and played cards with a lady for a couple hours and just kept her company for teh afternoon.  while we were there some excitement happened! The fire alarm went off so we had to evacuate and all and wait for teh fire department to show up.  Not super exciting, but still out of the ordinary.  For dinner this same friend and I went to Salsarita's for meal swipe night.  We both missed it last Friday so we were super pumped for it last night! I got my usual chicken burrito and it was delicious!! I kind of went crazy with the hot sauce last night though (more than usual), but it was still super tasty!! After that I got a little taste of heaven with my friends.  We went to Bissinger's to celebrate a girls birthday. SO DELICIOUS!!!! It's this fancy chocolate/dessert place in Central West End.  It's a sit down Starbuck's meets Fanny May.  I got chocolate cheesecake. I was so content and happy with every bite.  My RA got drinking chocolate. If anyone has been to Italy and ordered hot chocolate, drinking chocolate was just like it! Basicaly warm pudding/mousse. It was also amazing.  THe waiter didn't write any of our orders down and got everything correct.  It was so much fun! then we of course came back and watched Criminal Minds cuz that's what we always do!! So ya that brings me to today.  This morning started off as any other Saturday morning, but then I did something new that I've never done before.  I went with the Students for Life group to Planned Parenthood.  We stood in front of it and prayed a Rosary and held a couple signs.  Nothing really happened, but yet I feel like I did something.  It was really cool and I'm really glad I went. Students for Life is going to start doing it every weekend, so I'm looking forward to more Saturdays of prayer and standing up for something that means a lot to me.  Anyway, now i'm just eating some home-made chicken noodle soup that I brought from home last week.  Super excited for something to eat other than dorm food!

By the way, I almost forgot to mention this, I did not get a position as an RA for next year, but I was placed in the alternate pool! This is what i expected so I'm content with it. Since I'm in the alternate pool there's still a chance that I could be offered a position anytime until the begining of the school year.  If an RA finds out that can't actually do it or if they need to hire more because of the demographic for teh incoming freshman class, then I could get a position. So we'll wait and see what happens! Either way I'm super excited to room with a girl I know if I don't get a position!! Just thought you all might want to know!


I also feel like I should mention that the quad got hammocks!! there's been these awkward wooden posts in the middle of the grass since fall and no one knew what they were for.  Then yesterday suddenly there were hammocks hung between the posts!! So cool and I can't wait for more great weather to just go out and lay in a hammock in the middle of campus!!
