Moon River, Wider than a mile....

So I decided that my favorite song is "Moon River" today, actually a while ago I just redecided today after listening to it. It's such a pretty song and makes me happy when I listen to it. Doesn't even matter who sings it although I will say that the Frank Sanatra version is the best.

Besides my renewed found love for Moon River nothing else is new besides me not getting the same flight back to the U.P. as Golda and Jeremy. Luckily while they were still at Melissas we checked our iteneraries and found out that I some how managed to make my reservations for the next day, same times just wrong date, so now I got to spend an extra day in Kansas. Melissa is gonna drive me up to Kansas City tomorrow morning and then on Monday I fly out to go see Betsy and Trent! I don't mind spending more time down here, I feel bad about the inconvience I am causing Melissa though now, but I'm not missing spending an extra day in Gladstone at all. That's about it for now though update everybody later!

I heart hats!

I decided today that hats are a good accesory, they can be used for so many different reasons here is my list of things that hats are good for.
1.) keeping the sun out of your eyes
2.) keeping the sun off your face/ neck
3.) keeping your head warm in the winter
4.) covering your hair from getting wet ( the rain coat hat things, I don't know that correct term for them)
5.) a street preformer can put them on the ground to collect money in them
6.) the can hold beverages sometimes so you don't have to hold a cup
7.) my personal favorite, covering your hair when you haven't showered and you really need one but have to go to class.

I pulled off number 6 today, I decided to sleep in rather then take a shower this morning the results, me covering up my beautiful hair with a hat and tromping off to class and nobody even knew! don't worry, I came home during my break and showered so now I smell nice and clean!

Another good thing about hats is that they come in so many different styles!!!

YAY for Gamma Omicron!!!!

So Friday morning at 5:30(ish) a.m. my pledge class (Gamma Omicron) at the sorority went through! YAY! Us four girls are now sisters!! It was really exciting but very tiring because we didn't get any sleep that night. After we got our letters, the sisters asked what we wanted to do, go to sleep or stay up and celebrate.we were way to excited to sleep so we decided to celebrate. We ended up walking across the alley to one of the Frats and waking them all up by banging pots and pans in the hall and screaming. I don't think the guys were to happy about that one but they put on smiles and congratualted the four of us. Needless to say the drowsiness started hitting us again pretty quickly and we all ended up leaving to go and sleep. I ended up sleeping until after 2:00 and still didn't quite feel completely rested, although I will say that that was the best nap ever in the world. Unfortunatly the rest of my weekend was just as busy so I still didn't get much sleep because Saturday the sorority and one of the frats threw our annual Christmas party for the kids that we mentor. After that a bunch of the girls went out to eat and to do some other things and then it was off to Phi Kaps formal for the night. Once I figure out how to get pictures on here I will put some on of the Gamma Omicron girls and formal.

Winter is here....About time!

I love winter, but yet hate it so much at the same time. Here is a list of the pros and cons of winter.

Pros:
Snow, Christmas (Lights, the tree, decorations, the smell, and the holiday!), Sledding, Snowboarding, Skiiing, Broomball, Winter Carnaval here at Tech (best time of the year!!), Snow Statues, Hot chocolate (Free hot chocolate during carnaval), having the excuse to sit on the couch with a blanket, Candy canes, Snowmen, snowball fights (when your not getting hit), looking outside knowing how cold it is but you are nice and toasty inside, catching snow flakes on your tounge as they fall, watching people slip on the ice.

Cons:
Shoveling the 3 feet of snow that fell the night before, Snow getting into your shoes, soaked mittens, cold cars, sweeping off your car, scraping ice off the windsheild, ice in general, slipping, shoveling out your car, face washes, not having snowdays because the school got sued or something like that last time they had one, getting lost on your way to class because it's snowing so bad out, driving in snow, being cold. if you have to wear dress shoes / heals in the snow that is NEVER fun! winter lasting 5 months.

Oh the joys of going to school up north in the middle of nowhere when winter lasts for over half of the school year! At least winter gives us something to do and to look forward too! Because I know it wouldn't be the same up here if we didn't have a place to snowboard /ski at and winter carnaval is so much fun!!!
