It's been too too long. The Band Dance was pretty awesome. I danced the night away...as was expected of me! lol It was so cooold, so the ride back was miserable. Ben and I went out to eat...at Jimmy John's. ....Who does that!?! Oh well, it actually was nice. Then I went to pick him up at Carroll, and he gave me chocolates and a stuffed dog that said Puppy Love ( More on that later). The chocolates were Take 5's....(more on that later too). Dance was pretty good, they played You're A Net, and Don't Stop Believing, and just a bunch of good ones....After the dance, Ben asked if I liked the chocolates, "they're your favorite right?" ...I had never eaten a Take 5 bar in my life. I was like eeerrr no, Reese's fastbreaks are my favorite. He was like no way....and then didn't say anything. I get home the next day and tell Mad about it, and she tells me that Ben actually texted her to ask her what my favorite candy was....She said it's the peanut butter one, I think it's called a Take 5. OHH, MAd. lol. So Mad texted him to say, woops. It was funny. I ate them alll and kinda liked them tho so It wasn't too bad.

Yesterday Mom and Gramma came to see my play. We got to have dinner and get lots of groceries,so it was a great visit. They are awesome. Well Ma also brought up Jake and I's snowboards. I thought there were some hills around here when I went out this morning.....welp there aren't. All the ones behind the convent towards the river are covered in trees. ...It's hard to snowboard down those. So I walked back into campus and found a gentle slope on the side of Moreau. This is across from the post office and the entrance to Holy Cross. Well I looked ridiculous cause the board wasn't going down fast enough, so I was just shuffling down this tiny, gentle slope. Needless to say, it was a wasted morning.

I hope to find another hill today sometime. We shall see.

Hola amigas!

I miss you all so much. I know I planned on having average adventures while you all were gone, but so far I am contradicting myself. Technically they are no where near as comical and thrilling as Natalie's nor as exciting as I'm sure Kim and Cece's will be, but they are pretty eventful for the South Bend Life.

Ok First off, I was gone from school for three days, SO I had so much work to make up. I thought it was going to be super rough getting it all done, but my professor's were so supportive and I am back on track as of 2 hours ago.

Next Damon came up the weekend after I got back. He's my best friend from home, so that was so awesome. He came just in time for a lady gaga party. Thursday and Friday I spent a lot of time at the mall and online trying to figure out what would be the best lady Gaga look. I decided on the Just Dance cover so I needed a zebra shirt the blue lightning bolt and Lady Gaga hair. Well wigs were 20 bucks so I decided it would be much easier to cut my own hair...well I could only do it after my homework..So 3 A.M. Rolls around and I decide that would be a perfect time to cut my hair. False. I cannot see straight at 3 AM clearly because when I woke up in the morning my bangs dropped to my cheek at a jagged slant instead of laying right across my eyebrows. They also stuck straight out from my forehead. I don't know if you can recall Lady Gaga's hair but it does not stick straight out. So I kept it back as well as I could, then ran to the mall after classes to get it cut the right way. Well the lady did an awesome job and it only cost me 5 bucks, 10 after tip. So I still came out cheaper than the wig! Damon drew the lightning bolt and I felt exactly like her. It was awesome! The party wasn't as exciting as I had hoped but I still felt awesome with Lady Gaga hair and a lightining bolt walking around campus.

Hockey Band was awesome as always. I told Kim that it's crazy that the saxophones have to fit like 5 and 6 across. Clarinets feel squished with more than 3. We are so spoiled. Damon got to play with us so that was cool. He loves all the songs.

Did you know that there is no Saxophone choir this year. Schwinn said it was because there was no one to run it! So now Schwinn is in Clarinet Choir playing 3rd part. Crazy. But I'm glad we got him. I didn't even know he was in there the last rehearsal tho. Oops.

I went to see a Dietician on campus. Don't ever go. It is a waste of time. I still eat sweets like crazy, and nothing she said really helped, or made the half hour appointment worth it.

I think Natalie is the only one that still needs filled in on this next piece of news. Mr. (Did we ever think of a fake name for him) Well the guy who I was a little enamored with last semester, asked me to the Band Dance. Ben had already asked me, So I had to tell him no. I called Cece and Kim to try to think of a way to say no, but still sounds hopeful. It was very nerve-wracking. Well then we had to find a date for some clarinets that wanted set up, so since he may not have had a date, I decided to see if he was up for it. So i actually walked up and talked to him this time! It was exciting. I am known for my balls of steel tho, aren't I? Well now he is going with that girl, So I will definitely see him at the dance, and he might even ride our bus or go to the Clarinet Pre-Party for a little while. I am kinda worried about who all will see this....uh oh.. Oh well

So I'm just biding my time until the Band Dance this weekend! I can't wait to go with Ben. He is an awesome Dance date. A guy that will dance the entire time...priceless. I will let you all know immediately what happens.

Stay tuned for more Average Adventures!
