Only one week of classes left! Yikes! The worst thing about it, is that this weekend was SO much fun but I got absolutely nothing done.
Friday night was Spring Sports Spectacular, the event put on by SGA that was a huge variety of sports competitions between the greek houses and independent council*. There were so many activities between Hinkle, the Health and Rec Center, and the Butler Bowl. I personally beasted some Mario Kart on the N64. I didn't win, but i gave the race all i had. I found a group of Thetas and we wandered around, watching the intense tug-of-war battle in the main gym, and the extremely popular dance off contest and karaoke in Hinkle. I think the most fierce competition was the soccer tournament, but those games didn't start until really late and I was so tired, so I didn't stick around for that. Jimmy Johns and Hot Box pizza provided some delicious goodies so I couldn't pass that up either. There was also a penny war between all of the houses. Honestly, I probably helped Theta lose because I didn't understand the concept of the penny war AT ALL. I felt kind of stupid.
Apparently you get points for every Penny you put in the bucket, and real money or silver coins detract points. Unbeknownst to me, I threw some dollars and coins in our bucket, confused why later my friends asked me why I put it in ours and not someone elses ha! But all of the money went towards supporting the Special Olympics, so no matter who won it was all for a fantastic cause.
Our formal was the following night, so I headed home around midnight to catch some z's before Saturday. My Saturday was nice and relaxing: Headed to Starbucks in the morning to knock out some Bio homework, went to the HRC for a quick workout, and then back to Schwiz to shower, paint my nails and curl my hair before 6. I volunteered to be on risk management for this formal, so I helped out the head Theta in charge of making sure everyone got to the dance safely and anyone who wanted to leave early could get a Cab back to school. I went over to the house early to get some pictures with my friends and check out everyone's pretty dresses :) I ended up taking two dates (because ladies is pimps too) and they were both sooo much fun!! I had a blast dancing with everyone and enjoying the night.
Yesterday I pretty much got nothing at all done, and I have a heavy workload for this last week of class. Boo. Two of my friends and I went to Target and bought a lot of things we didn't really need: Some pretty sweet crazy sunglasses and strawberry milkshake oreos. When we got back to school it was raining, so we put on our shades and had a spontaneous dance party in the parking lot. These are the things I will miss the most over the summer. Just being able to go out and do absolutely nothing but loving every minute of it.
*I mentioned Independent Council before and you're probably wondering what that is. Independent Council just started up this year, and is a group of students who are non-Greek but still want to participate in the big philanthropy events for the houses as well as all campus events like SSS and Spring Sing. They've had a great first year on campus, participating in Trike lipsyncs, Spring sing, and Spring sports as well as hosting a benefit concert with some on-campus bands. Pretty exciting stuff!
