live goats

have i mentioned how much i love 60 degree weather?! i don't want it to get any warmer though, i like still being able to wear a sweatshirt at night

Friday gave a tour to around 35 people for the Junior Spring Preview Day. It went alright, it was kind of unfortunate circumstances for giving a first tour, it was SO busy, there were 7 tours that went out at the same time. We had 535+ families on campus which was slightly ridiculous. Friday after dinner went to the IV meeting. A few of us wandered back and found Jack Swift (local band) playing on greek lawn but it was kind of chilly and only half of us had sweatshirts so we ended up just coming back.

Last night Ash and I drove over to Rush Henrietta High School for the 32nd Annual RIT Spring Juggle-In. It's a 3 day event hosted by a number of organizations including Student Government, the RIT juggling club and the University of Rochester Strong Jugglers. I can't juggle to save my life but it's really cool to watch other people do it. During the day in the Clark Gym on campus they have different activities and workshops and then last night was a show put on by people who have been training for anywhere between 3 and 12 years. It was definitely worth checking out.

This morning went to church with a bunch of people. They brought a LIVE goat on stage! I think it's one of those, you had to be there moments but it was pretty funny. Came back around noon, brought back some breakfast from Gracie's and started on homework.

Room Change # 4

Yep, we moved our room around again!

We got back from class last night around 7 and the guys told us that they wouldn't be ready until 8 so we had an hour to kill... it ended up taking almost 3 :) Whoops. We called them around 9:30 and told them that they all had to come over right now because we really needed help moving something... but we had it all done! I think it's pretty awesome looking. And yeah, we have a lot of hearts up-- thanks Nana! It looks rather festive in here. We basically triple bunked our beds so Ashley has a matress on the floor, i'm in the middle and all of our extra suitcases and stuff are all the way at the top! Had a movie night last night, watched Step Brothers.. not exactly the most educational movie ever :) but it was a good end-of-the-week-lets-hang-out-and-act-stupid kind of movie.

Worked this morning from 10 until almost 2. Came back and bought hockey tickets for tonight! We wandered over to the Rail Jam. They basically just set up large piles of snow for people to snowboard on over by the library. It kind of helped that we already have 16 ft + piles of snow just lying around. In a little bit we're meeting up with a bunch of people at Gracie's for french toast!! Mmm. Then a hockey game tonight! Woohoo. Go Tigers! 

It's All Your Fault!

This week is the first time since I was 10 that a democrat has been in office and so far the only change I've noticed is the 5 foot snowpile that was dumped in the path on which I walk to class. But, I don't think that Obama had anything to do with that so I'll give him a break :)

It's been busy busy around here like always. It's been snowing constantly and then all of a sudden yesterday it got up to 40... springtime?? Two hours later a cold front blew through so we're back down to the 7 degrees where we belong.



I've been watching a TON of hockey. Two hockey games last weekend (already mentioned in posts below). Then on Thursday Ashley and I along with two of our friends left at 5 pm and drove an hour and a half to Buffalo to see the Tigers play! They won 5 -2 against the golden griffins -- ugliest mascot ever. A lot of the corner crew from RIT was there so there was lots and lots of cheering.. there were actually more RIT fans there than the other team and they kind of sucked at cheering. I do believe at one point the announcer threatened to kick us out for being obnoxious. Whoops. "It's all your fault... It's all your fault.." We got rather lost on the ride back but on the plus side we found the sketchy part of town! Not that we were looking for it ;) Eventually found the right road and we back it back around 11. Worked for a few hours Friday morning and then went to a minor and concentration fair with Ashley to figure out what the heck we want to do. After that we met up with the boys and went to lunch at Gracies. We decided a while back that we really needed orange jeans to wear to all of the games so we finally drove over to the mall to look. Unfortunately Rochester does not seem to like the color orange because there is NOTHING. Oh well, still walked around and just looked at stuff. Drove back and raced to get dinner before the Women's Hockey game at 7. We literally ate dinner while running down the quarter mile-- it would have made the best movie ever because it was so windy and really hard to eat while walking really fast. Made it to the game and luckily all the guys had gone ahead and saved us seats. The game was pretty good but no where near as fun as the men's games. They did go into over time which has never happened before. Sudden death in overtime when they're tied 1 to 1 is rather exciting. Walked back and we all hung out in our room for a while. The guys decided to go back to try to go to sleep because they have a LAN party tomorrow-- yeah, what losers :) Just kidding! Somehow we ended up going over to their floor after that and chilling in the hall until 3 am. Their floor is all male so since we're both girls (obviously...) everyone started coming out of their room going "omg girls!!" It was kind of amusing. Eventually went to bed and now i'm sitting here annoying Ashley because I'm typing this up and not going to eat lunch with her!!! Guess I should get out of the chair and go before she throws things at me =)

Later I'll put up some pictures from projects I've been working on as well as pictures from the hockey games!

How Many Kropogs to Cape Cod?

Ever feel like just dropping everything and taking a full day break? Unfortunately that is not really possible around this place. 

It was so nice outside yesterday, hard to believe that 60 degrees can feel too warm for a jacket. Maybe i'm adjusting to this whole cold weather thing? I hope. Woke up around 9:30 and went to this FYE "coaching meeting" which basically just means I had to sit in my professors office for 45 minutes and talk to her about adjusting to college, it's some mandatory thing we have to do twice a year. After the meeting I went and got a wrap from gracie's and then took a walk around campus before picking out a spot under my favorite tree for lunch. 

Spent the rest of the morning/afternoon in the 3d studio working on my clay sculpture. Had class from 2 until 9. Except we got out early, yay! Drew models in drawing class, it was okay. He mostly just told us stories all class and then we worked for the last half hour. Next class were drawing for three straight hours. 100 gesture drawings, anyone? I actually really like that class. After that was 3D and since we just finished a project yesterday we had a whole class critique.. which went pretty well! My piece was picked top 2 in the class. Not to brag or anything, but it's kind of a big deal when something goes right around here because there really is not a lot of praise. College is a huge shot to your self-esteem (if you had any to begin with..). I actually like critiques a lot, except when they make you talk to the whole class about which piece you think is the crappiest and why. 

Pretty much just hung around the dorm room/hall  last night. Went to get frozen yogurt with Ashley! Yummm. Watched hour and a half of football with Drake in the lounge.  Hung out with Andrew and Ashley. Then, stupidly, we decided it would be a good idea to watch a 45 minute episode of the OC... at 3 in the morning... Whoops. Luckily, we got to sleep in until 9:45 today. Yay for Fridays! Just had my creative sources class which is a giant lecture for 50 minutes and then we have to write an essay about it. Really easy. In half an hour is my Raster Imaging class which is easy as well. I sit there and do work for another class or play around on the computers. It's kind of annoying because I already know how to use photoshop and last class we were learning how to zoom in and out of a document... for about 15 minutes. Oh well. One easy class every once in a while is not a bad thing when you have 6 other hard ones.. 

Tonight after class Ashley and I are going to the airport to drop someone off and then going to Red Robbin! Yayy. We decided it was a good Friday thing to do. Making, yet another, trip to the art store and then coming back here for an improv show in Ingle Aud. Yay for not doing homework on a Friday night!
