Happy Halloween!

Today is Halloween! I am very exited because there is lots going on! Tons of groups on campus have stuff planned and "Much Ado about Nothing" one of the plays is performing tonight also! It is so nice to have so many options for things to do on campus, I know that I could hang out with my friends and have a low-key kinda halloween, or I can go see the play, or I can go out and do some of the cool activities that are planned around campus!

Gettting closer to thanksgiving!

Over the weekend one of my friends and I went home to where I live near Chicago. It was a pretty spur of the moment trip, but it was pretty exciting and fun! We left on Saturday morning and by that evening we were in Gurnee Illinois at Frightfest at 6 Flags Great America! It was a really fun day! We laughed a lot about how it seems in movies that kids go on road trips but I never really had, and now, I kinda feel like I have! The next day, on Sunday, we drove back and did lots of homework! It was a great trip!

Then today, monday, it was REALLY hard to get out of bed because I think my roommate got me sick... Its cool having a roommate, except when they are sick, and you werent! Good think, I went home and got lots of stuff for school! :)

Crush Party is Tonight! :)

Tonight, for my sorority we have an event which we call Crush Party. All of the sorority sisters get to invite a 'date' (anyone from your best friend to your boyfriend, or of course, your crush!) and we all go bowling! Its a pretty cool event and we do it twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. We always have such a large group that almost the whole bowling alley is rented out and we get to stay and bowl, eat munchies, hang out with each other, and take lots of pictures! Its pretty exciting!

Last week, my sorority along with one of the fraternities had a date auction. Ten girls and ten guys were auctioned off to the Ripon College campus in the pub with all proceeds going to both the greek houses. I was one of the girls being auctioned off and I was really nervous, but it ended up being really fun! We went up there and they read about you and played a song that you had picked and then the bidding begins! I was bought for $62.00!! Thats quite a bit for college students to pay! I was really surprised, I would love to do it again, it was a lot of fun!

Also, over the weekend, a couple girls and I went to the quarry at Red Granite. It is a really deep man made lake (quarry?! lol) and we got to jump off the rocks and swim in the water all day! It was really nice because it was so hot, but now it is getting really cold like fall weather, so I guess we will have to wait until next summer to do it again!
