Hey! What's up? Not much here, hangin out in the room procrastinating on my research paper, so I figured I'd update. Overall, it has not been too bad of a weekend. Friday night was pretty much incredible. Jon and I went to Lexington and drove around looking for somewhere to eat... lol we drove for like an hour, and we finally just settled on Olive Garden, which was delicious. After that, he said we were going to see a movie, and he had directions for the theater, which I thought was weird because we know where the theater is... but I didn't really think anything of it at the time. LOL I knew when we pulled it that something was up, though... he took me ice skating! How freakin' cute is that? :) I had no clue, either. Like, Caitlin had told me she knew what the surprise was, and to dress warm, and he dropped all these hints at dinner, and I never picked up on it! I was really excited. By the time we got there it was 1/2 an hour until the end of the session, so we skated until the end of the session, and it was pretty much a blast. I'm really bad at ice skating haha, but it was still fun! Then we rented a movie, and I fell asleep in his room. Pretty much an amazing night... <3
Yesterday wasn't as much fun, lol, Caitlin and I pretty much sat in the room all day, until about 10:30 when Jon told us we were all going to a party. So I got up, got dressed, looked pretty, and we left for the party. Well, we found a party, but it was byob, and we were with the boys, so that wasn't going to work. We ended up standing by Justin's truck for 20 minutes before we just walked to Waffle House, then came back here. I was kind of a bitch, but it was really boring. Oh well, I needed to get out of the building at some point, I guess it works.
Today's been kind of uneventful, too. I slept until 12:30, which was great, because for the past two weeks I have had problems sleeping. So I'm finally caught up on sleep, I think. I showered, then went to Hooters for lunch with Jon, Scott, Bob, and Ryan. I don't really like Hooters wings, but I was kinda hungry, and the food supply in our room is waning. So I got 20 wings for the price of 10 (covered dinner, too, lol I'm smart like that) and hung out with the boys. Then came back here, where I should be doing my paper, but I'm not. Obviously, lol, Friday was the highlight of the weekend, and the rest has pretty much been kind of boring.
Anyway, I'm coming home Tuesday night for Thanksgiving break. That'll be nice. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again! I haven't seen Allie, Jordan, Kirk, or anyone since August. That seems so long... I miss them! And of course, hanging out with K.C. and Robyn, that'll be a blast. I'm gonna miss everyone up here though, even if it's just for a week. But it'll be a nice break from school work. Thank goodness, I need one of those. LOL.
Well, I'm gonna do a survey, and get back to my research paper. Leave comments. Later!
