Relaxing/Rejuvenating Weekend

Just warning y'all... this post jumps around.

So on Friday I had a mental break down, again. I was crying in class. I went to talk to a counselor about it, and we just kinda talked about everything going on right now. Especially the fact that I'm a senior (which scares the crap out of me). I told her that I registered for classes for the last time on Monday, and that was sad. It's kind of hitting me, everything I'm doing is for the last time. Last night was the last time I will particiapte in Rock for Riley... I don't know if I'm ok with that. It's weird. Anyways. I still wasn't feeling well so I called my friend Steph and we went and grabbed some lunch. After that I went to class with her b/c I know the teacher and he didn't care. After that we went to Wal-mart, and then it was time for work. I came home and got ready, and just started crying. I couldn't stop. My roommate, Amanda was like, ummm... you're not going to work today, so i called in sick. I called Steph and told her I wasn't going in and she came over.

We decided to take this dog she was looking after for a walk. We walked for like an hour. It was nice. When we got back I had dinner, which to be perfectly honest was the first time I'd actually felt like eating anything all week. Amanda came back from dinner and invited Steph and i to SCF, so we all went and spent like an hour and a half there. Afterwards we were like, let's go crash a high school football game just b/c we can. We drove around for like a half hour before realizing that it was November, and most high school seasons were over. We decided that we would run by the dollar theater and see what was playing. There was a movie, "Burn After Reading" that we all kinda wanted to see, and it started at 9:30 (it was 9:25) so it was perfect. We went in and got our seats and the movie started. For teh next two hours all three of us were staying at the screen going... "what is going on?" but laughing so hard, b/c it was hilarious! Afterwards we were like, that was amazing! We drove back to school, and Steph got her car and went home. At this point, it was about 11:30.

Amanda is in her Senior Sem class right now, which means she's in the middle of writing her thesis, which is due Monday at 5, just in case you were wondering, :). She had been working on it all day pretty much,a dn she was going to work on it again, but that movie ave us this great idea. We decided we would throw a party for all of our firends, sometime this semester, and watch that movie, just b/c it's so funny. We decided we needed to go tell some of our friends at Sig Ep, so at 11:30, we were like, ok let's go, but we won't stay long. Amanda wanted to get up and work on her Thesis, and i was going to get up and work on other homework. We went over and were talking ot people. We were dancing, and having a good time. We were just hanging out. The last 45 minutes we were just sitting in Cedric's room talking. It was the best night ever, and it made me feel so much better. We ended up leaving around 2. :) Ooops.

Saturday, Amanda was going to get up at 9 and i was going to get up at 10. I got up at 10, and she wasn't up yet. She got up when she heard me up though. I grabbed a shower, and turned on Rookie of the Year. Amanda decided to watch the movie with me, so it was a good time. Then I had a wedding to go to. Phi Mu's chapter advior, Shelly McFall (also the head coach of the softball team i helped with last year) got married. It was a beautiful ceremony. Shelly looked gorgeous, and my favorite part was her shoe choice... softball cleats. :) I am totally going to do that! After the weddign was the reception where I pretty uch scarfed down my meal in 15 minutes because I had to drive back to campus for Rock 4 Riley.

For those of you who don't know, my sorority's philanthropy is Children's Miracle Network, the money we raise goes to a local hospital, Riley Hospital for Children, up in Indy. We hold two events a year. In the Spring it's UEDM (University of Evansville Dance Marathon) and all night party essentially. We play games, have bands, crafts, etc... In the fall, we do my favorite, Rock 4 Riley. R4R is a lip synching contest. Some themes we have done in the past include, TV theme songs, Disney, and 90s. This year was "A Night at the Movies: A Pink Carpet Affair" (b/c our colors are rose and white). I love R4R b/c it is so hilarious. This year we had 8 teams, and 5 advanced to the final round. My favorite was Sig Ep, and I'm not just syaing that. They were the best. They did "Oh Maria" from Sister Act. Imagine 15 guys dressed up in hand made black cloth held together with staples and plain t-shirts on their heads. It was hilaroius. They were jumping around, and basically they're dance was amazing. they came in second. Our Phi class came in first in the crowd pleaser award though. that was exciting. After that, we went and watched the last 5 minutes of the UE soccer game with the entire Sig Ep chapter, but the thing was, anytime they would shift their weight, the bleacher we were stnading on would shift too, and Amanda and i were in heels, and so we almost fell liek 5 times.

We came back and Amanda went back to work on her Thesis. I asked if we were going to go out that night and she said she didn't know. About 12:30 I asked if i was putting on jeans or pjs and she said jeans. We both agreed that we weren't going to stay past 1:30 b/c she needed to get up and work on her thesis and i had to go to work. As soon as we walked in the door though one of my guy friends (who said he wasn't drink any mor euntil next semester) came up to us drunk, and I mean completely trashed. So we walked him back to his room where he continued his search for green shorts and a green shirt. We went upstairs. We hung out and were talking to people, and then we ran into my friend again, and I pretty much spent the next hour and a half or so hanign out with him to make sure he didn't do anything too stupid.

Finally, about 2, we got him to his room where he passed out on his couch. His roomates closed up the room and me and Amanda stayed to talk to one of our friends who was in there. Within the next hour, one of the brothers, a very very tall freshman (think Chris, my ex) pretty much broke the door down three times and came in yelling for his buddy who was passed out on the couch. Even with three of us we could barely get him out. Around 3, we went upstairs to get our jacket where we ran into some more friends and started talking again. About 4, we got kicked out of the third room b/c they wanted to go to bed, and Amanda and I decided we should go home. So we finally got home aroun 4:30 and were in bed by 5. She woke up at 9 to continue work on her Thesis, and I got up at 10 to head to work.

Today i went to work, and we were actually busy. Only made $35 though, but it's a Sunday morning. Oh well. Then I had meetings tonight, and after that I finally went to the library to check out some books for my paper comparing and contrasting concentration camps in WWII, which is due a week from tuesday. I didn't open a single one tonight though. I did however waste 2 hours on facebook and get my 6 cover letters done, rewrite an article, and get a study guide done. Tomorrow it's back to class after a pretty relaxing/rejuvenating weekend. I'm feeling much better than i did on Friday. I'm still not 100% but I'm doing better. Which is good. :)

Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. I know I've been vague, but sometimes it's good to be vague. Please continue to keep me there, especially as I begin applying for jobs for next semester... i can't believe I might have a big girl job next semester. :-/ Have a good evening everyone.
