The Rock Band tournament last night was so much fun. Our band was Ovaryactive. At first, it was just me and Bekka but then Brad (a kid from our EU class) got his sister and her friend to join us. It was very, very awesome. I did not win most awesome contest but I was still awesome.

Afterward, we went to the bar and I felt like a college student.

The end.

I love you all.

Good news on the homefront
So one of my French papers, the longer one, received good news today:

1. The decision was made to have all students enrolled in the course turn in their final term papers in English (and not in the target language French, German or Spanish as originally stated).

2. FH, GN and SH students are still expected to conduct research that includes scholarly readings in their respective target language. These sources should also be cited in the bibliography (MLA style) of the paper.

Weight lifted, captain.

I still have not found an outfit for Friday. We had band practice yesterday and I thought that all our mediocre skills would somehow combine to form awesomeosity. This did not turn out to be the case. We will definitely not win on skills. I shall need the costume of all costumes or we will need stage presence beyond all stage presence.

The kitty is beyond very cute right now.

I love you all.

I gave my speech for my EU class today. It was terrible. I blacked out, I seriously don't remember much of it but I'm not concerned.

I am entering a Rock Band competition with Bekka and maybe Laura on Friday. It will be fantastic! I am thinking of getting a really awesome outfit and just rawking. That way, we at least have a chance of winning. What I will wear? I do not know.

I am sorry I have not called you back yet Jessa. I have had no time. I'll try to call you later this week but it might not be until after the weekend.

I love you all.

blast from the past!
The ballet was awesome. I almost want to go back to ballet. If only I was coordinated or flexible...

Hannah is awesome too. I wish I could hang with her more often.

Announcement: we can no longer be friends if you cannot smile witchyer eyes. There will be a test at the end of the week to weed out you non-smilers.

I have a speech on Tuesday that I haven't even started. Oh and I have to watch a movie and write a paper on it for French class on Friday. And really I am not stressed about it at all.

I have not yet watched this week's episode of John Adams but I believe I shall blog about it when I do.

It is going to be warm and awesome this week with rain and awesomeness. I plan on wearing dresses.

I love you all.

I got a facial today. Not that kind. The other one. It included a foot massage (or feet massage since I have two foots), hand massage and back massage. I am so incredibly chill still from it and it got done at 7. It was two hours long and now my stress is nonexistent. I highly recommend it.

I saw Run Fatboy Run with Katti, Oliver and Nick today. It was good. It was slow to start but it got fantastic once it picked up.

Also, why I love these people: "Fuck Princess Peach. It's motherfucking Princess Toadstool, you assholes." said Katti. "Is there a reason why they changed it?" asked Nick. "It wasn't girly enough. You know what I think of that? I think I want to shit on them. I am not normally into shitting on people but that deserves a nasty taco Cleveland steamer."

I have papers and taxes and scholarships due and I am not stressed about them at all. Lallalalala.

Oh! Do you want to see one of my host brothers in a stupid youtube video he made? WELL TODAY IS YOUR LUCKY DAY!

I swear I had something to say but I don't remember. OH! I did not wear a bra today and it felt wonderful.

Also, I am obsessed with Twitter because I can update from my phone. So, that's a good place to catch me dropping it like it's hot. Or whatever. Word to your mother.

I love you all.

The other day, I went to Barnes and Noble with Katti and Oliver. Oliver spied a giveaway for two tickets to Grand Rapids Ballet's production of Don Quixote. Oliver entered and made Katti enter and I entered because, really, why not? The only thing holding me back was who to take with me.

You probably know what's coming. I just got a call from GRap's Ballet saying I won two tickets to the show on Sunday, March 30 at 2. Who could I drag with me that would really appreciate it? Hannah, of course.

So on Sunday I will take my lovely sister with me to the ballet. And I am pretty excited. I haven't been to the ballet since I saw The Nutcracker with my girl scout troop. And I get to dress pretty! Yay!

In other news, I was going to write at least half of one of my papers today and my speech for next week but the internet wasn't working for a while so I got started on my romance novel. And it is so much fun that I don't want to stop. I'll start writing and researching later tonight.

I love you all.

Jimmy Eat World is coming to GRap a month from now and even though they aren't one of my favorite bands, I do love their music. I don't know if I can convince anyone to go with me though.

Cloud Cult is coming to Chicago and to Ann Arbor in April. I love them but, again, I can't get anyone to come with me. I keep hinting at Nick but it's not working.

The Swell Season is coming to Royal Oak in May.

I saw The Darjeeling Limited tonight. My life will never be the same again. It was fantastic.

I am getting my haircut tomorrow.

I accidentally burnt myself again. I am awesome. It was pretty stupid, the way it happened.

My left shift key is making a cool noise. I'm sure it's not good but it's a cool typewriter noise. The letter a is making a quieter version of the same noise. I would love to have a typewriter.

I am also doing karaoke tomorrow. Call me and let me know if you want to come along.

To MSU fans everywhere:
Wanna help put Sparty on the cover of a video game? EA Sports is allowing fans to vote for their favorite mascot; the winner will be featured on the cover of the Wii version of NCAA Football '09. According to the site, Sparty is currently in second place behind Washington State (can't let them win... I don't even recognize theirs!). That means we need a good push to get him into first! The problem is that voting closes on Friday, so make sure to forward this to all of your MSU friends. You can vote once per day from each computer you are using. Here's the site:
