Chocolate covered bacon anyone?

So the past couple weeks have been crazy in my apartment. Between the four of us we have had tests, papers, and general craziness happening. I think between the four of us we've had about 10-12 tests in the past two weeks, and 3 - 4 papers due. Not to mention three of us have sorority stuff, and two of us have exec sorority stuff! Ugh! All I can say is I will be glad to be done with exec. :-D I myself just got done with my second mid-term. My first one was yesterday in Media Theory and Research. I think I did ok on that one. He told us it would be broad, but this was way broad.

Today I had my WWII midterm. It was 20 short answer questions and 2 essays in 75 minutes. The 20 questions were to test our factual knowledge that we had gotten from the book. Now I read all 14 chapters in that book, I'm pretty certain this is the only class I've ever kept up on my reading for in any class ever, and I even take notes! Yet, I still didn't know half those quesitons! And he told us that if we missed more than 2 we couldn't get an A on the test, and I left at least 3 or 4 blank and got a few others wrong. As I was walking back to my room about 3 hours later, Irememebred an answer to a question I had left blank. I hate it when that happens.

I also turned in my problem statement and situational analysis for my Adidas campaign in Strategic PR. I'm having a lot of fun in there, my campign is centered around "comfort zone" so we'll see hwo well that works out. And other than my reporting class, which is not just kicking my butt, but rubbing it in my face as well, all is going well. I turned in 30 academic hours for last week, which is about 26 hours of studying and 4 hours of tutoring.

As a rewards for keeping up on my studies, me and my friend Stephanie went to Fall Festival tonight. Now Fall Festival is like a fair, but instead of being all about the rides or all about the best pig/pie/vegetable/cow/whatever, it's all about the food. Sure they have rides there, not a ton, but some good ones, and they have a talent show and stuff like that, but the food is the main event. It's why most people go down there. They have about 4 blocks lined on both sides of the streets with booths of food. Everything from your regular stuff: hotdogs, hamburgers, corn dogs, funnel cakes, bar-ba-que, sausage, ect.. and the not so reglar stuff: fried cookie dough, fried mac n cheese, alligator, Pig toes, Chocolate covered crickets, fried oreos, banana canoes, chocolate covered strawberries, buckeyes and of course chocolate covered bacon. Now I think that last one was new this year, I don't remember it from last year, but it sounded interesting, and I like bacon, and I like chocolate, so I decided I would try it. It wasn't bad, but after about one and a half, I was done with it. It was just sooo... something. I don't even know what it was.

Stephanie and I also played the mouse game, where you put your quarters on a color, and they let a mouse loose in a wheel of fortune looking thing, and hich ever color hole it goes in, that color wins, and if your quarter is on that color, you win! YAY!!! I didn't win. Neither did Stephanie. We also went on teh Himalaya, and all I can say is, the announcer makes the ride, I miss the guy at Bells. So now I'm relaxing before I work on my Lit Review tomorrow for my Media Theory and Research class. Yay fun times. This weekend is Fall break, and I'm looking forward to going home. I'll probably work the entire time, but oh well.
