ANTM – Center Street Style

September 24, 2007

Things have already been really busy this week.  We are brainstorming about planning a huge fundraiser for ASB.  A Dinner/Art Auction type thing that we would have in Lord Hall where they have that nice gallery, and we would get donations from local artists.  Hopefully then it would raise enough money so that we can expand ASB and maybe even get an international trip going sometime in the future.  Homework has been keeping me extremely busy, mostly because I got behind in one of my online classes and it has been hard to catch up.  But I’m almost there….I just have to read like 300 pages by Wednesday, hah.  I can do it though.  Sooo, last week when America’s Next Top Model was on Sara and Jocelyn were over and we made our our ANTM episode.  Here it is…

This week has flown by!  It’s already Thursday night.  I cannot even remember everything that has happened!  I just know that I have not gotten much sleep, but that it has been the most fun ever.  ASB is keeping me extremely busy.  We held an info session on Tuesday and over 40 people showed up, and we were all crammed into the Walker Room.  On top of doing fundraising and public relations, Katherine and I have decided to site-lead a trip!  We already have a tentative site.  It is doing restoration work at New Orleans City Park.  Yesterday was probably my busiest day all week.  But last night was so fun.  Sara, Jocelyn, and Charles were all here and we made a couple videos – one of which is finished editing and I will post in the update.  It’s the same type of thing as the last one, with the two different random conversations cut and pasted together – except this time it is Jesse and Sara.  We also made a fake episode of America’s Next Top Model, it’s pretty funny.  I’ll have that up by the beginning of next week.  I had my Stagecraft lab this morning, which I was not looking forward to.  Mostly because it is 3 hours long, but also because it requires me to build things.  Right now we are building the set for Hedda Gabler, which will run in November.  But I actually am really starting to like Stagecraft.  I think it is going to be my favorite class this semester.  My lab group is really great.  ALSO, they are thinking about doing a drafting class next semester, which I would be extremely interested in.  I find the “design on paper” aspect more interesting than actually building what’s on the paper.  So yeah.  I could write and write forever about this week, but I cannot remember it too well.  Charles and I spent a lot of time together which is cool.  AND I have A LOT of homework…that I have not done too good of a job finishing…  :/  oh well.  Bye bye for now, and watch the video.  Remember – we taped Sara and Jesse Separately and they didn’t really know what the other one said, and then we just cut and pasted it all together.   Knowing that fact just makes it more funny.

Jesse and I decided to make a random video of our fictional characters Ramona and Wesley.  We took clips from solo recordings of ourselves and pasted them together to form this random ass phone conversation……

Today is the day I am going to sit down and do the loads of homework I have neglected to do all week – mostly reading and writing stufff.  So let me tell you about my weekend; starting with friday.  I was REALLY REALLY sick, and not from the amazing party at our apartment the night before, but from some spoiled soy sauce I used in my cooking at lunch.  It made me sick all afternoon/night.  I puked a few times and could barely stand up.  It kind of ruined the ASB Officer’s Retreat for me.  Although Saturday was fun.  Friday we drove to Bar Harbor and set up camp at Blackwoods in Acadia National Park.  We did team building activities and had some dinner (which came right back up).   Saturday we packed everything up and headed to the carriage trails where we spent a little over two hours in the pouring rain hoeing weeds out from in between the rocks that line the sides of the trails.  Our guide guy called it “Flossing Rockefellar’s Teeth.”  We were SOAKED by the end.  We supposed to work later, but we were really wet and cold.  So we called it a day.  When I got back to the apartment I passed out for three hours, since I really never got a chance to recover from my sickness.  Then I picked up Charles and we went and bought a DVD player, since Jesse and I didn’t have one yet, and we watched Little Miss Sunshine.  I needed a quiet night in like that.  Oh yeah…and we went to Tim Horton’s and saw a bunch of high people.  hah.  Now it’s Sunday morning, and like I said, it’s major homework-catch-up time.  I am also going to research a couple trip options for ASB because I am thinking about being a site-leader since they could use another.  Hopefully that will not be too much to add onto my current ASB responsibilities.  I’m sure it will be fine.  Okay, breakfast time – latah.

Today was SO long.  After staying up until 2am last night and waking up at 8 this morning, I was a little groggy, but surprisingly chipper!  I had class from 10-4, with a break – during which I had lunch with Jeremy and took care of reserving some rooms in the Union for ASB events.  Then I met Elise at the gym for cycling class at 5:15.  I really thought I would be fine since I did A LOT of cycling back in the day.  But really, if you don’t use it, you lose it.  It has been a good 10 months since I taught my class, and when I went in today I went ahead and used all of the same resistance as I normally would and it was a killer.  When we finally finished an hour later, I had to run to the bathroom while everyone was stretching because I was going to puke.  I didn’t though, thank god.  I think I was dehydrated.  I just pushed myself too hard.  However, I feel great now – work outs make me feel amazing.  Next time I will just make sure I have eaten enough AND that I am hydrated.  Anyway, then I came back here and showered and headed out to Margarita’s with Jesse, Jocelyn, Steve, Sara, Alyssa, Amy, and the other Sara.  We had a lot of fun.  Now I’m exhausted and it’s only 9:30, but I have class at 9 —- sooooo I think I am just going to pass out.   P.S.  I know that I never make a new paragraph, but I can’t figure out how for the life of me.  No matter how many times I enter or tab…I never can make a new paragraph.  So I’m sorry for those of you who find this form of writing in one continuous thought impossible to read.  Have a lovely night.
