SSS and Formal: A crazy weekend!

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!
