Weekend's Over

The weekend is now officially over.  I have been one busy woman these past couple days!  On Thursday after napping, going to class (where we played a 3 on 3 basketball game with my TA before starting class), and eating dinner I got all dolled up and went to Tri-delt semiformal with Alyssa.  It was an absolute blast and Brittany and I had the prettiest dates by far! We danced the night away and were home by midnight (thanks to Ken giving Brittany and I a ride home).. my kind of night.  I had to sleep on the couch due to the frigidness of mine and Kath's room but I enjoyed the change of scenery.  Friday I got a package from my parents containing a sweet new vest which I will be sporting around campus, a cookie which someone else ate the majority of because I can't seem to find it, some sticky notes (always a must), and new make up.. needless to say I was a happy camper upon receiving a package!  But Friday was also exciting because it was my semiformal (Olivia's too, how ironic).  I can honestly say I think everyone that went had a great time.  We got going pretty early and by early I mean 6:30 because the buses were so early.  We picked up some pizzas (best idea ever) and other necessary items and went to Ben, Brad, Ken, and Max's.  Brad was a little late showing up because he lost his license and drove to Western to get his twin brother's ID so he could come, what a champ.  Unfortunately he never even made it and neither did Ben, Coy, or myself.  We decided the walk to the bus was too far and we would use a pledge taxi.  This would have worked much better if it had not been blizzarding.  The kid had to make three trips because there were 12 of us total.  He made the first two trips in what seemed like ten minutes but he didn't come back to get us (the final four) for an hour and a half.  When he finally came, we decided to still try and go.  On our way to Soma (which is in downtown Champaign) we got blocked by a semi attempting to go under an overpass that is probably 10 ft tall.  Meanwhile I have been getting calls left and right asking where we were and by the time we were almost there, everyone was leaving.  We had the kid turn around and take us back to the apartment, everyone was kind of in a bad mood but we made the best of it.  After we had been there for a while Phil walked in the door absolutely covered in snow and announced that he had just walked home from Soma (which as I said earlier is in downtown  Champaign).  Walking home the however many miles in a blizzard by himself, we were just grateful he was alive and was able to somehow find his way home!  The rest of our little crew trickled in and some of us then went to The Rouge Lyon for a night cap.  I ended up sleeping at my second home on the couch which I can offically dub as my second bed.  When everyone woke up, we swapped stories (specifically Max telling me that my semiformal was fun.. which he probably thought made me feel so much better about missing it), we ate Wendys and they dropped me off.  Everyone had some great stories back at the house (I actually probably added like 10 years to my life from all the laughing I did.)  Later that night I got ready again and went to Acacia semiformal with Will.  We had a blast and were literally tearing up the dance floor, LITERALLY, I'm sure everyone else was pretty jealous.  I saw Claire and Chelsea who I haven't seen in absolutely forever and it was awesome!  This encounter just solidified the fact that I love them and we should hang out way more often.  Jam and Laurie were there as well and Jam literally fell in the middle of everyone.  Being the kind, caring person I am, I pointed and laughed because I find it funny when people fall.  Another funny tidbit about Jam, she found out about Santa in 7th grade at the lunch table (learned that one today).  Now I'm sitting here in my jammies trying to get work done because finals are upon us!  This should have been split up into two posts, I'm actually honored if you took the time to read all the way to the bottom of this.  I hope you all had an equally epic weekend and are ready for the week to start!
