ASU

Just got Back from Arizona for a debate tournament. It was incredibly fun, and tiring, and WARM!!! It was about 75 the entire time we were there, and then I come home to find 6 inches of snow on the ground and a temp of 35 *shudders*
Me, Melia (I managed to spell it right addison!), jessie, mindy, blake, brian, and clark all went. We flew out Thursday morning, meaning that I spent nearly all wednesday night finishing homework for my respective classes (while simultaneously chatting with katie). After landing we waited for an hour for the hotel shuttle to arrive.
We settled in, then wandered around by the campus for a while, at which point I learned that Melia and Jessie are perhaps the worst shopping influences in the entire world. Needless to say I came out of Urban Outfitters with a significantly lighter wallet. Friday everyone except for me was scheduled to debate, so I wandered around campus and watched interp rounds until all the rounds were over for the day. Friday was also when the story of the flying pants came to pass (which Clark will be all to willing to relate, I'm sure) and Melia and I decided that it wasn't safe to go swimming with the boys anymore.
Saturday I spent the entire morning debating, and ended up being the only one still competing after 11. I broke to Quarter finals in Oratory, after which I returned to the hotel only to find everyone asleep (I could really feel the team spirit I tell ya) and, after finding that I didn't make semi's, promptly joined the rest of the girls in slumber. Hours later, after finals rounds for clark were posted, we all met to go to the awards ceremony, at which point the team discovered that I had infact broken to Quarters and none of them had known about it. Clark and I both got plaques for our trouble, and we went to IHOP at 1:00 AM for dinner.
In the morning we had to leave at 7:30 for our 11:15 flight because the stupid skyline team had reserved the shuttle for 6 WHOLE HOURS to shuttle their huge team to the airport, and spent the extra time sleeping on the floor in front of our gate until our plane arrived.
So yup^^; I'm home safe and sound.

and it continues

Shamelessly kifed from jenn and addison's journals;

If you would like, reply to this post with your name, and I will:
-Tell you what song/book/object reminds me of you when I hear it (or come up with one, which I will then undoubtedly associate with you from that point on).
-I will also tell you what celebrity/public person/book character you remind me of, either personality-wise or looks-wise.
-I will also give ONE WORD that I associate with you when I think of you.
We all could use a boost now and then, so steal this for your journal and make someone else's day as well.

Bored...

Comment here and I'll tell you something I adore about you. Then post this in your LJ, and spread the love. Do it even if we only know each other through LJ — it can be even more fun that way!

Glory hallelujah, praise the lord, shout hosanna, someone up there loves me! I've been so stressed out about the end of term and leaving for ASU tomorrow (missing the last two crucial days of the term I might add) and trying to pass all my classes, and all my extracurricular responsibilities, that I've been a total wreck for the past week to two weeks, and finally FINALLY things are starting to look up. I've managed to somehow bump all but two of my grades up to an A ( most noticeably with woolsey's class, which jumped from an F to an A between 2nd and 4th today) and rode home with Sam and Addison today (both of whom managed to appear out of nowhere right when I was walking out the door of debate practice). I still have a buttload of stuff to get done so that Shelli can turn it in tomorrow so that I can bump up one of the other grades and prevent several others from sinking any lower. I'm going to be so happy when I'm on the plane for ASU and don't have to worry about grades anymore.
In other news after this week is over I am in desperate need of some type of party-stress reliever-friendtime. My family has a subscription to family video so if anyone wants to come watch a movie with me, or just wants to hang out, I'd be much obliged.
