Fall break is this wonderful weekend in the middle of October where Friday classes are held on Thursday and then there are no classes on Friday. Everybody who is anybody takes off on a weekend adventure. Well here's my exciting weekend:
First of all, I only have Tuesday/Thursday classes so it was probably the coolest thing ever that I only had to go to class on Tuesday. And then I was done for an entire week. It was amazing!
Second, we have rotating weekend shifts at the library and of course my weekend just so happened to fall on fall break. So I didn't get to go anywhere.
But I still had a great weekend! Thursday night Amy came up to Logan and we had an A-Team girls night. We went out for pizza and then watched Life As We Know It. It was great and I love those girls. Friday night Madi invited me to carve pumpkins with some of her friends and we baked pumpkin seeds. It was also a ton of fun! Saturday night I went to the rec center and played some crazy lightning, volleyball, and dodge ball games. So my weekend wasn't extraordinarily exciting, but it was definitely fall break worthy.
Now for my funny stories:
1) Laundry. Friday I went to do laundry at least five different times and the washers were always being used! I was so frustrated. So Saturday I had to do five loads and it was pretty crazy. I went to go pick up my last batch of laundry and saw something outside the laundry room door.
IT WAS A SNAKE!!!
I ran back to my apartment and almost had a panic attack. Here' s the background. I hate snakes. I can't even look at a book of snakes or see one on TV without semi-freaking out. I really really hate snakes. So I sent my two roomies out to check on it and Kaela said that it was probably a fake one that someone set out and then watched my reaction. (I really didn't like that.) But they came back and yes, it was a real snake. Luckily Tren and I had decided to bake a tres leches cake (which turned out pretty darn good....we are champs.) And of course because Tren is a boy he had the privilege of moving the snake because I still needed to get my laundry out. One of my dryers still had 12 minutes but there was no way I was going to go back. It might be a while before I strike up the courage to do laundry again. I got made fun of, a lot. But it is only because I am sincerely terrified of snakes. I don't make fun of people and their fears! I had a couple of traumatizing experiences as a child. That's all.
2) Butt Ball. This game is very similar to Wall Ball, like most kids played in elementary school. We had about twelve people in a racquetball court and we threw a racquetball against the wall and then had to catch it and then throw it again. If the ball touched you and you didn't catch it, you had to run and touch the wall before the ball did and if you didn't make it you got a strike. After three strikes, you had to stand against the wall and then everyone got to throw the ball once at your butt. Yep, it was pretty brutal. So there was one instance that I had to run for the wall, but I didn't exactly slow down so I slammed into the wall with my hands and it kind of jolted my entire body. But hey, I made it! Well, then my back started to hurt, a lot. And it got to the point that I was walking like a crippled grandma and had sharp pains shooting through my lower back. It was not OK. Today it feels a lot better, just really tight and sore and if I let the Ibuprofen wear off it starts to hurt. But no big deal. I think I'll survive. I don't like butt ball, even though I never had three strikes or got hit in the butt. That games is still way too crazy for me!
3) Giggles. I am easily amused. That is a fact. I had a couple of crazy giggle fits this weekend and I feel that they are definitely blog worthy. There was a line in the movie Thursday night that left me laughing for five minutes straight. It wasn't even a good line. But I still was almost hyperventilating because I couldn't stop laughing. Today in church we had a high council speaker. Out of no where, he pulled a tool used for measuring angles out of his pocket. Totally unexpected and somewhat hilarious. Then he went on to compare the gospel to the Lord of the Rings. I may have been irreverent with my giggles. But they were well deserved.
