Blech. I have come down with some sort of cold. Every time I cough, the force of the hacking resounds through my tired skull, giving me a worse headache than before.
This day would have actually been an okay day to be sick, since I only have one 50 minute class, except for the fact I've been involved in a little production called Freshman Fanfare over the past four weeks and, of course, the actual performances are tonight and tomorrow.
Freshman Fanfare is, simply, a vaudevillian production of solos, duets and group numbers explaining the woes and joys of being freshman and is produced by the freshman class. The girls are not allowed to move their hips or their upper chest section, but it's almost become a joke to say "Oh no! Hip movement!" because it really is not enforced. Besides, it is rather impossible to dance--I mean, choreograph--without some movement of hips and upper chest area. It just cannot be done.
I am completely ready to have my weeknights back for my enjoyment, but it will be fun plus I got a t-shirt out of the deal. Except for this little bug I have caught that will make it impossible to sing. So, I shall be mouthing the words to the songs with my best showbiz smile.

Short post
Busy. That is pretty much what my week has been like. From lots of homework to group projects to watching movies with people to midnight McDonald runs, this week has been non-stop activities.
And I'm entering the point of time where all my classes begin to have tests, so I am not for-seeing an end to the business.
My roommate's birthday is tomorrow and I'm trying to figure out a way, in my car-deprived state, to do something special or at least give her a little present.
I suppose that's one reason majoring in art could be useful.

Coincidence?
Sometimes, I think God has a sense of humor.
I and a bunch of friends have very recently become obsessed/addicted to the TV show "Heroes". We have seriously devoted about 16 hours this past weekend to watching the first season at the risk of not completing homework and a Job research paper that was due today. (Don't worry, I finished it and turned it in on time)
Every day, we students are required to go to chapel from 11 o'clock am to 11:20. Chapel usually consists of a few worship songs and then a speaker will talk for about 15 minutes.
So, what did the speaker mention today? Yes, that is right: Heroes. "Save the cheerleader. Save the world." He used that as a springboard to show how helping/saving one person's life can make a difference for the world.
Needless to say, I was very amused.

In the library
Right now, I am enjoying a free coffee courtesy of my friend Mallory who doesn't like coffee so gave me her coupon. It's very good and not too bitter, which is my complaint against the ever popular Starbucks coffee.
Just watch, I'll start working there and find out that they get their coffee from Starbucks.
I sit in the library on campus, my ideal study and homework place, next to a large window so, with the occasional glance, I see the green trees, grass, clover/bush plants, and passing college students. I always find it interesting to watch the world.
This must from the historian and writer in me.
And I really need to get back to my homework.

Outreach
The Outreach retreat proved to be much fun and I formed many new friendships.
We climbed the hill (although many souls claimed it was a mountain, but those of us from rocky regions knew better) behind the camp where we were staying and, once there, sat at the top and sang worship songs for about 15 minutes. Sadly, I only knew about half the songs, but I suppose I shall learn them in the months to come.
One really fun activity was our rambunctious game of Capture the Flag in the dark and complete with colored war paint to show our team spirit. I was on the Red Team.
My silly friends Jerica, Joniessa, Erin, and Lauren found some toads in the dark and had much fun naming and playing with them.
There was also a slip and slide time Saturday morning, which produced many bruised knees but was exciting and fun nonetheless.
The only possible con of this trip was that I was bitten mercilessly by mosquitoes.
My freshman link (an upperclassman who helps a group of us freshman with whatever needs we might have) just showed up at my door and gave me a cupcake. Yay! ^_^
(Note: I know the pictures are wierd right now. I'll try to fix them tomorrow, but for now, I'm going to sleep)
