Not What I Planned...

It's been a few days since I have posted and it seems like so many things have happened!

Last Thursday I had my first Rural Sociology test. I was not completely prepared, but I ended up doing ok. I got a "C". I know that's not awesome, but we are able to throw out one of our tests, so I'm hoping all my tests get better from here and that's my worst one. I'm glad it is over.

On Friday and Saturday SDSU hosted the Jackrabbit Joust. It's the first tournament of the year for many schools that participate in Forensics. It went well. We had nine teams show up and compete. It was a lot of work sitting at the ballot time because people came and yelled at me for things that were out of my control. It was a good weekend, but I think I like competing more than working a tournament.

Friday, after the tournament ended, I drove home to Sioux Falls to go to a holiday work party for Justin. We saw Tom Ryan, a famous comedian, perform. He was very funny. It was a good time and it was nice going out and doing something nice like that with Justin. I got to meet all the people he works with, or many of them, and I also was able to hang with his brother. (They work together). After the party was over we went out to Jono's, a local bar, and hung out for a while. His friends Mike and Ken came out with us and we were all able to hang out. Justin has many friends that are tons of fun so going out with him is always a new experience.

On Sunday I was home and we went to Church and then came home and did some chores around the house. It's crazy how you can hate doing chores when you're at home, but you actually look forward to them when you go home. It's odd that chores are when you spend the most time with your family is when you do chores. I enjoyed spending time with my family and always do. I also like helping out. We made homemade noodles! It was fabulous and very fun! They tasted real good too. I always love homemade noodles!! Sunday afternoon I went over to Justin's place and hung out with his family. He lives with his aunt so I spent time with her and then I also met his cousin Laura. She is really nice and she has two little kids, Mackenzie (2) and Nathaniel (8 months). Mackenzie hooked on me real quick and we spent time talking and playing and just hanging out. It turned out to be tons of fun! Chris, Justin's brother, wanted us to Hollywood video, which turned into a 2 hour ordeal! I enjoy hanging out with them though! After eating our homemade chicken and noodles with my aunt and grandma, we hung out some more and then went to our friend Chad's. It was a lot of fun! I finally was able to meet his family! I enjoyed spending time with them! We played Rock Band! I ALMOST beat Justin (Me Singing him playing guitar!) It was a lot of excitment and fun and the night couldn't have gotten better until we were leaving... Justin's car ended up getting broken into! The only thing stolen from the car was his VERY EXPENSIVE CD player. We called the cops and everything, but in all actuality there's nothing to do. So it put a HUGE DAMPER on our real fun evening!

Monday I got up and packed and then mom, dad and I went for lunch at the best resturaunt EVER! TACO BELL!! I am pretty sure that everytime I go home I HAVE to go to Taco Bell! After that we went to the movie "Mamma Mia". I wasn't sure what my thoughts were on this movie, but it ended up being FABULOUS! I laughed, cried, laughed some more! It was so good! I can't describe how great the movie was!!

All in all it was a great weekend! It's hard to believe it's over! I have class all day tomorrow and I'm also starting a work out plan! I'm very excited to get it started! I am going to do my best to stick to it!

It's pretty late and I finally finished my unpacking and cleaning of the room. Time for bed!

G'Night!
