Not feed, not hay

I so badly want to break into the childrens literature scene.

My finals are done! I ended up keeping my C in Japanese, and I got a collective 86% on my Kin final, leaving me with an 88%. There was talk of a curve though...I hope Dr. Harms does the right thing.

Last Friday our apt opened our stockings and made gingerbread houses...well, the couples did, Sara, myself, and guest appearance Clavin were judges. Everyone got fun things, but Jim (Kerri's boyfriend) got a punching balloon! All good times until it hit a cup and spilled watered down soda onto my lappy. Luckily they turned it upside down quickly and we left a fan blowing on it for two days. Five days later I turned it back on and it works! Huzzah! And for the folk that didn't get the point of my story, here's a picture of the winning house by Kerri and Jim to hold you over until the next picture.
Catch up? Ok! Way way back Clavin and I went to see Casey Donahew at Longhorns, it was such an awesome show!!
The team played an all-night tournament in Wichita with an encore by Shannon and Nicole! It was a roller-coaster of super fun and "why was this a good idea?". They played pretty well, better than their somehow 5th out of 8th place though. I don't know if I would necessarily do it again, but something has to keep those boys on their toes.
Thanksgiving was a break VERY much needed, atleast in my neck of the woods. This picture essentially was natural until Mommy tweaked it a bit to be more pleasing to the camera's eye. Big time for me, this was the Thanksgiving I got to "be upstairs" with the "big kids". And I made sure the little ankle-biters knew it. Not. Invited. They can't drive Buicks anyway.
I danced in WinterDance '08 and girl let me tell you, one of the pieces I was in made front page Collegian!
One day of a break after those 4 nights of dress rehearsal and 4 performances, Micheal Wieser and I performed a piece we choreographed together in Student Spotlight to "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap.

And with a lot of details left out, here we are now. I need to finish Christmas shopping, and will be going home on Friday. Our family is doing Christmas in Tulsa, I want to go to Denver sometime, go back to Tulsa to hang sometime, and am coming back to Manhattan for New Years in Aggieville with Eve 6!!

I'll probably go to sleep now, but not before I post this video Derek in my Japanese class told me about.

You know I like my chicken fried

Wow. Has it been too long? I feel it has. There's far too much to catch y'all up on now. Right now I need to work on getting the fans back. But, here are a couple highlights since freakin Warped Tour:
Storna turned 21.
I went to the Cliffs for the first time in 3 years. I only jumped once :)

Anthony and I went to California (Newport, O.C. style) with his brother Nathan's family. Here's a tip: when you're going to be in the sun 9 hours a day for a full week, don't just wear spf 15 on your very first day. Ouch.
Shannon, Nicole, and Rhonda came up and we all went to RenFest! Jayme, her disappearing boyfriend Charles (yes, as in CHaoos), Maria, Irene, and Newgen and Andrea joined us. Good times were had, per usual.
And I moved into my very first apartment with these three lovely and buff women :) Not on March 4th of last year, though. More like a month ago. That would be Sara, Diedre, and y'all are familiar with the lovely Miss Bates I presume.
A couple more things, not easily photographed:
*I work a bit at Netter's early learning center
*I'm going to switch my major to Kinesiology because it is basically my life in a class anyway.
*Anthony and I are no longer dating, but that isn't fun to blog about.
*I'm in a BA African piece for WinterDance, along with an understudy for the two tap pieces
Which brings me to...
*I'm taking tap this semester and it's really fun
*I have something in my room that every once in a while will make the whole thing smell like feet. I think the culprit is my boyfriend pillow though. If that's the case we're breaking up.
*I miss my rollin crew in Garden
*College/college life is fun

I hope everybody's last two months have been great!

OH and I can't believe I never posted about Kasey and Mark getting married! Well they did. Back in April.
