Chris and Ashley got engaged last night!! Woot! It's about time....
So I really don't want to study for my Instrumental Methods of Chemical Characterization class. It's just plain awful.
My throat hurts...Gab gave me some wonderful stuff for it though. I needed some tylenol last night when we were all studying together and nobody had any! I went to the health center and got some free after lab today. It's generic so it starts dissolving right away...ick. I should just make my own.
I was in lab today working on a very annoying qual lab. (Don't they know that nobody does qual analysis anymore?? Most chemists send it to the friendly NMR technician and get a complete analysis with out all the fuss) Anyway, so I was watching my sample distill and hear somebody saying my name- I turned around and there was Caleb, CORE hard hat and all! I was excited. I was also surprised that he recognized me in my lovely green goggles, but I guess the skirt gave it away. :)
I was starting to feel like I had a voice again and then I went to singing at the nursing home. Not anymore. I sound like I've been smoking a pack a day for 20 years. It's great.
Grandma and Grandpa are coming to take Matt and I out to eat tomorrow before church! Yay!
Blessings.

Stuff and nonsense
I had two test last week....and two lab reports so it was pretty intense.
But there were some high points, especially this weekend.
The fall picnic was nice...not too hot, but not freezing.
Thursday I took a 'study break' and went to the planetarium for a HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT. The planetarium pretty cool, the only other one I've been to was on a school field trip. It was one of our many 'let's go visit the Journal Star and something else in Peoria' field trips, so it was much better this time. *wink*
Justin K came for bible study at Keith and Joan's on Friday. It was excellent and very thought provoking. Somehow they started talking about economics and futures markets afterwards....wow...totally over my head. Lys and I hung out for a while and I stayed up way too late.
I got up early on Saturday and went with Mom and Donna to Jakey's cross race in St. Jo. It was really fun- I love CC races, they're over in 15-20 minutes. :) We took all the cross country bando's to Danville for their band competition- brings back memories of good times. They're marching a good show this year...gladiator music...it was fun to watch.
Then I had to go back to C-U to meet up with the group going to Mike's baptism. Cissna was great. Testimonies were long, but it really didn't seem like it. Alyssa, Rhonda, and I stayed overnight with an older widow named Lorretta. :) She was sooo cute. And she said some really funny things. There were lots of people in church! It was good to see some KS people, although I'm still sad Neal and Kim didn't make it.
So it was a good week, and a good weekend. :)
Blessings.

Chalk Quadding
I couldn't go since I was taking a test and then I went to Chipotle for free food.
They did a lovely job, I especially liked the one right outside Noyes Lab:

My roomies are great!
They cook awesome food!
They say funny things.
"Bread and Water? Prisoners get better food than that!"
"So...are you a closet delinquent?"
Pretty much they're just the coolest people ever. :)

It's friday!
So Gab says I need to blog. :)
Hm... this week started out with a bang. Sunday night I was sound asleep when I was rudely awakened by 8 guys in masks and dark clothes destroying furniture with axes in our front yard. They also had poor Herman strung up on our front porch in a noose....who knows what our poor neighbors thought. :) And poor Herman! He barely pulled through the ordeal.
I was pretty sleepy monday....but I made supper for the girls, and they ate it so it must not have been too bad.
Sang at the home on tuesday....and stayed up way too late updating the freezer list.
Wednesday was church....keep the curt was in Champaign...then we ate pie with our almost room mate afterwards.
Thursday I spent way too long in a very annoying lab and then went to ISU bible study. On the way, our carload was entertained with an hour long lecture on mammals. :) It was a good night, but I was very sad that Abby wasn't there. Joanna was! And Janelle! Yay! We went for ice cream afterwards and then I came back to C-U with Matt, Lil sow, and Bob. It was a quiet ride. We talked about well drilling. :) And I saw a shooting star. Now I really should go to bed....but I'm wide awake from the Polar Pop I drank in the car.
Blessings.

Randomness
We have some funny conversations around our house sometimes...
Me: Where does mom keep hilda b?
Shelly: I don't know, maybe upstairs.
Me: O wait, the hall closet!
I like pie. A lot. And making pie makes me happy. :)
Jakey took such nice senior pictures....
Midnight- at a normal volume
Me: Why are you taking so long in there?
Jake: I'm not you are. Do you think somebody will wake me up tomorrow?
Me: Probably you left a note on the table....
Jake: Maybe Dad won't do chores tomorrow, maybe I should wake them up... (the bathroom door was wide open and the light was definitely on, and we weren't whispering)
Went to a hog roast. Had to get out of my bubble- it's good for me right?
Grain bin singings are....rough.
Gab doesn't like me anymore.
When I go home for the weekend I miss out on the fun......
A note to Herman, we miss you here at 709- but I'm sure you'll be welcomed in your new home... *grin*
P.S. How does furniture walk across town?
Blessings.

Ft. Scott, Kansas City, and curtains
So I had a great weekend in Kansas! And we had a stellar turnout of W-ton yg types. (HA!) Matt, Shelly, Abby, and I left Friday after school and spent the night in Kansas City at Aunt Karen's. Saturday morning we went down to Fort Scott to go canoeing and we almost set a new record, we were just 3 minutes off. :)
Canoeing was fun. I didn't get tipped because I had my camera and I had forgotten to bring a dry bag. Whoops. :) It was a really beautiful day- not too hot and not too cold. And there were lots of fun KS girls there. I had never been to Fort Scott church before so that was good.
Sunday night we went back up to KC to Aunt Karen's and hung out til Scott got back with Ben. We played some Rook and stayed up way too late. Monday morning we went to Brent and Beth's to see Kambria. She's pretty cute. I didn't hold her. It's kind of weird that Brent, Galen, and Neal all have kids now. And Neal owns a minivan. I about died when I heard that....
So then we went home. Traffic wasn't bad and I filled up for $2.39 in Columbia. :) We spent almost 20 hrs in the car and I drove about 14 of them. My car smells like wet shoes, people, trail mix, and who knows what else. Good stuff.
When we all got back to Champaign we found a rather large stuffed man on our porch. His shirt says that he is the "Ideal Man" of 709. So we hung him on the wall. With lots of big nails. And we named him Herman, as in Handsome Herman. Hot Rod works too. It doesn't really matter since he's ideal- he doesn't talk back, he does what he's told, and doesn't expect regular meals. ;) He still makes me jump every time I walk in the room.
Heidi came to visit me yesterday. :) We went to bible study at the union, and then at 10 I decided I wanted to make curtains for the kitchen. So we went to walmart (in our pjs) and got fabric. They turned out really cute! And then I actually let Heidi share my bed.
So anyway. Church tonight.
Blessings.

Today was a good day
Or yesterday now.
I had a meeting today with my senior project professor. It went well, even though it was at the early hour of 8:30am. I was going to come home and go back to bed, but he invited me to come to his chem 102 lecture at 10. So I went home and did some stuff for a while and went back to school.
It was great! He is a chem education specialist and an excellent teacher. Part of his lecture included shooting a paint ball gun at a target to "recreate" Rutherford's gold foil experiment. He missed once and hit the wall. It was funny. And he was doing a stoichiometry problem that was longer than the board, so he just continued on the wall. Good stuff. It was the first time I have ever been to a lecture that wasn't mine. :)
Then I ate lunch at sbarro because I had a coupon. It was good.
My first instrumentation lab was less than 45 minutes.
I got a lot of homework done.
I ate supper with Amber and Amanda.
Another first today was liquid nitrogen ice cream. I went to the American Chemical Society Student Affiliates meeting tonight, and they had a bunch of fun demos. After the meeting they made ice cream and it only took 5 minutes. It was pretty good stuff; very creamy and chocolatey. And it was cold! (obviously)
When I got back from that, we put together some songbooks and yes I spelled reigns, rains. So I wasn't totally focused on my work- good thing Gab was there to spell check. :) We sang around the piano for a while when we got them finished, it was definitely the perfect ending to an excellent day.
