all princes start as frogs . . .

Today was a beautiful, wonderful day. That's all there is to it. But it did get cloudy and I didn't like that part of the day, but I feel like I got a little done today and was semi-productive.

So Madee, Kelsey, and I just had a little blast from the past discussion. "Wait for Me" by Rebecca St. James came on my iTunes DJ and we started talking about all of the Christian artists we liked when we were younger...Superchic[k], BarlowGirl, Steven Curtis Chapman, Chris Rice, Relient K, ZoeGirl. It was pretty interesting. Now we're sitting here listening to some of the songs, its quite entertaining.

Countdown to Spring Break: 3 days!!!
Countdown to RA EMAILS: 1 1/2 days!!!!

Here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.

So today was rather uneventful. Went to lunch, went to photography, went to popular culture, went to work, went to Applebees, hung out with my fabulous Kelsey Janaye.

I did love the weather today. and I realized that I could go home on Thursday if I'm ready (and I probably won't be). Unfortunately (whether because of the weather or my hopefully retreating cold) I've gotten a couple of bloody noses today. Gross, I know, but props go out to Kelsey who was a complete and total doll. A one-of-a-kind trooper that girl...she hung out with me during the worst one. Cleaned up after me. Helped me try a couple things to make it go away. Scolded me for touching my nose too much when it was gone. Man I love that girl. Grossed out by everything, but she still managed to help me. Of course it was probably a little more manageable than the vomit she encountered while score-keeping for a boy's basketball game today.

Hopefully I can remember to call and get a hair appointment for next week. I'm thinking about getting a slightly different cut. . .

Countdown to Spring Break: 4 days!!!
Countdown to RA EMAILS: 2 1/2 days!!!

There's a she wolf. . .

So for all of you who read my last blog, disregard the part where I said that I was no longer sick. It DID subside on Tuesday and Wednesday, but came back on Thursday with a vengeance and continues to bug me today. So much for getting better.

I spent the weekend in Lansing at Kelsey's house with her and Rae. While I was a sickly child, we still managed to have some fun, take some pictures, watch some movies, make pies, and watch some bball.





Oh and I must tell you about what Kelsey did this week! Here is a little background: Angie, Kelsey, Madee and I have had a running joke about Shakira's She Wolf video. If you haven't seen it yet--watch it. Anyway, Kelsey brought back a beanie baby wolf after Christmas break and hid it in Angie's closet (there was a she wolf in her closet. . . hehe). Anyway, since Interim we have been taking turns hiding the wolf in each other's things and it has been Kelsey's turn for a while. Here is what she did. . .



Madee went to the bathroom and screamed, Angie SAT ON IT!

Countdown to Spring Break: 5 days!!!
Countdown to finding out about RA POSITION: 3 1/2 days!!!!

The sickness comes and the sickness goes

I've actually enjoyed being sick a little bit--I've only been sick since yesterday, and today I feel much, much better. With the exception of having a massively sore throat, I have gotten more sleep and pretty much get away with quite a bit =)

I'm so looking forward to this weekend though, getting off campus, going up to lansing with Kelsey and Rae, hopefully having fun rather than spending time doing homework. That is what Spring Break will be for ...

I don't really have much to say, Focus series is tomorrow and teachers are going a little crazy with it, assigning much more homework in addition to the piles we already have. It is looking at Just Economics, which could be interesting, we'll see.

I'm off to dinner soon. Hopefully something good will be in the dc, if not maybe i will convince Kels to go to Ada's for some soup! Sick people like soup. That is what I will say.

Be praying for me--my individual interview for my RA position is FRIDAY AT 10 AM!!! I will find out next week if/what I get!! Can't wait!! Also I have some wonderful possibilities (? or is it already definite?) for roommates next year! So puumped!!!!

Malk

Mainly the only reason I'm posting at this time of night is that I have 19 posts and I need a nice even 20. Here's the overview. Class sucked tonight. Volleyball sucked tonight. A few other things might have sucked as well, but we'll try to be optimistic for the kids.

I only caught the tail end of our Ice Cream Social with our brother floor, which consisted of only three guys by the time I got there. My group interview for the RA position is on Thursday, so be praying!

...so...Malk...
watch this video, it explains all...

If I was a tomato...

I'm going to work out soon with Kels, so this one is going to be my attempt at being quick, a sixty-seconds of sorts.

I'm applying to be a Resident Assistant for next year, that would mean I would be "in charge" of my own floor. I'm excited about that and I have to turn in my application by Friday. I will find out before Spring Break if I got a position, but that will be after a couple of interviews happen.

I am working at the Spring Arbor Cafe for all of you who didn't already know. Its a little restaurant in Spring Arbor and I just work a couple of days a week, notthing too overwhelming. **Spring Arbor Students, you get 10% off!**

I tried a paczki yesterday in honor of Fat Tuesday (the day before Lent starts) its actually pronounced (poonch-ki).

I love Frosted Flakes with my whole heart. I got a ginormous box of them yesterday. We also got a new coffee pot cuz ours pooped out on us.

I am in a photography class and I developed my first roll of film this week =) turned out great!

For my Popular Culture class we are required to do technology fasts and one day last week I went 24 hours without (well trying) looking in a mirror. I have two more 24-hour periods to go. Also, I am in the second day of three of not listening to any recorded music. That has been interesting to say the least. Me and two of my friends went to Walmart yesterday and I couldn't listen to the radio, so one of them sang the whole time. On the way to Walmart it was all Veggie Tales, all the time! This is a perfect transition to the final point of this blog...


I asked Angie what she would do if I was a tomato and this was her reply-- "I would become a cucumber because then we could be Bob and Larry and we would be BFFs." That is my favorite, and I've been asking this question since jr. high.

mysterious as the dark side of the moon

So today has been one of those days. You know the kind, you begin the day completely positive that nothing good could come out of it, but then when looking back on the day, it has been one of the best in a while. I think that everything that I expected to be one thing was the complete opposite. I expected to go to photography class today (its one of my favorites), that didn't happen. The first class of the semester that I skip is not because I want to skip, but because I needed to get a few things straightened out with my best friend. I expected to go to one of my classes and having to sit through a completely irrelevant lecture, but I was surprisingly interested. I expected to go to work and be bored out of my mind, but I was quite busy and had some fun, even connected with some of my new co-workers a little more. I expected to go to intramural volleyball and do a little better than I did (actually I was hoping our team would win), that was not the case. I expected to go to Bible study, but forgot and instead had dinner (at 11pm) and talked about my relationship with God with one of my friends. All in all, it was a good night, turning out completely opposite of what I expected =)
