Alas, the weekend has come and gone. Eventful? Depends on how you define eventful.
Thursday night I watched The Green Mile (complete with English subtitles) with a group of Asian exchange students. There is this one Japanese girl who I say hi to (and sometimes Konichi-wa) who I want to be friends with because she is the cutest person I've ever seen - like the human version of Hello Kitty. They were all set up with their vegetable noodles and oriental cookies, and I had oreos and oatmeal creme pies. I realized as I was watching that I had never actually seen the whole movie, because my Mom only let me watch some parts (the last time I saw it I was like 10, okay?) So I was a bit surprised when Del's execution was botched and he got his brains fried out. When the movie ended, I was like what are we watching next? And they said we watch japanese movie now. So I went to bed.
Friday night I watched 'What Happens in Vegas' with my friend Anneliese. No subtitles needed there, except we did have to wait our turn for the lobby TV because the BET awards were on. That youtube guy performed that "hide yo kids, hide yo wife" song which was actually not as funny as expected.
Saturday (aka day from hell. kidding! sort of.) we had to play 3 lacrosse games. We were at the field at 10 to set up and warm up for an hour (i mean, really? we have to play 3 games). We won, lost, won. I got really sunburned and tired. I got back in time for dinner then crashed and slept for about 14 hours. It must have been an eventful sleeping session because when I woke up my mattress pad, sheets and blanket were on the floor. It was a bit painful to pry my sweaty back (and butt) off the exposed vinly mattress.
I got a late night phone call from my boys back in MN informing me that they were at a party with this boy I had crushed on a few years back who worked in the cafeteria at the U of M. I guess I really have a thing for guys in the food service industry?
Saturday night was originally supposed to spent drunkenly dancing in Memphis at the 3OH!3 concert, before I knew about my games. Sean (from 3OH!3) sang to Anneliese (mentioned above) and seductively licked a glowstick and threw it at her (she now wears it). After the concert, he put his arm around her for an extended period of time as he talked to people and signed autographs, and grabbed her boob while he signed her bra. So basically he was DTF. Sad to report the F didn't happen (her ride was leaving) but we are still very excited about this development.
Sunday I spent the whole day in town (the Square) with my friend Daria. We had brunch at the Bottletree Bakery, studied at Square Books, took a break for YaYa's frozen yogurt (cheesecake bits!), went back to Square Books, sampled some pumpkin spice roasted coffee, and more studytime.
My Mom and my sister Michaela are visiting this weekend!! But they don't have a place to stay yet! I guess all the places in Oxford are booked because it's Rush week so that sucks, looks like they're (we're) gonna have to stay in Batesville, right outside of Oxford - no biggie. So excited!

Hotty Toddy!
Well, well. My whole entire family is in Madison this weekend visiting Mal. Everybody except Morgan. Last night, driving down the dark highways of Alabama and Mississippi, I recieved a picture text of all of them together in Mal's house! Instant sadness. In addition to that, a few of my best friends are in Madison too! Oh well. My Mom, Michaela, and Greg are supposedly coming to visit me in a few weeks but no plans have been made yet.
We had our first lacrosse game Saturday! We left Ole Miss at 9:30am and drove to Tuscaloosa, Alabama for our game. It was so hot - in the 90's and we only had 14 girls (3subs) and Bama had 20-something girls. It was a close game but we won 8-6! It felt cool to wear a team uniform again - it's been a while, even though the tight red razorback tanktops are not very flattering. We celebrated our victory at Outback Steakhouse and watched South Carolina beast Alabama in football, and openly hated on Bama even though we were in "crimson tide" territory. The drive back was long and full of billboards dissing Pres Obama (okay, not that many, maybe 2 or 3, but still...billboards?)
It is seriously so hot in our dorm - the AC broke a couple of days ago and it's been 80 - 90 degrees outside. I could not sleep last night, I just layed there sweating, and at 4am I got up to go sit outside and cool off so i could get to sleep. They don't know when it will be fixed so this may be a continuing trend.
So I have officially made my blog more private, where I can say who and who cannot read it. I want to make sure that is true before I start bashing people! But seriously I do want to write about things without worrying about who might read this.

Straight Procrastinatin'
I am currently updating my blog, facebook stalking, and downloading the Glee-Britney Spears episode even though I have a paper to write. I'll get to it eventually. AND OMIGOSH! I've gotten 137 views since I started this, which is shocking to me and now I am wondering what percentage is making fun of me because I write about the stupidest stuff. I mean since it's open to everyone I have to edit my thoughts so I won't offend someone. So I'm feeling self-conscious now that I know more than 2 people read this.
I went home this weekend for 4 days and I don't think 4 days have ever passed so fast in my lyyfe. It was great, I feel much more refreshed. I got home Thursday night to a nice home-cooked meal. It was my high school's homecoming so my brothers were out late TPing people. And yes, brothers is plural, even though only ONE is actually in high school. They got back at around 3 and woke me up, we made some frozen pizza and watched TV.
On Friday I was running errands all day. I literally left my house at 8:20am and didn't get back until 2:30pm. I was driving around the cities jammin to some CDs I made in highschool, bringing back some memories. I listened to the whole "No Strings Attached" 'N Sync album. I still remember every word. Like, EVERY word, and now I understand the theory that kids have the biggest learning curve. I can remember the intro to "It Makes Me Ill", a song I used to listen to in 3rd grade but haven't heard in years, but cannot remember Supreme Court cases I learned last week.
Saturday, I went to the Mall of America with 2 of my sisters and my Mom. It was ridic busy but I got some more MN gear to rep in MS. We had a 2 1/2 hour family dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant in St. Paul (Carmello's) then I went to Minneapolis to chill with my boyz. Stayed out till 3, got up at 8 to get some stuff done before I went to watch the Twin Cities Marathon that my aunt and uncle were running. We were standing around mile 24, and it is actually amazing to watch these runners, it's incredible. There was also some people running BAREFOOT which was like WOAH. Some people say it's better to run barefoot, and I think that's true on sand or grass because it has a little give, but I really don't think that's good for your joints when you're doing it on pavement for 26 miles. But I'm not the expert I guess.
After that, I packed up, and we squeezed in another family dinner before I had to leave. Sunday was a hard day because I was going on little sleep and feeling emotional about leaving. I was feeling pretty low when I got to the airport, but when I got to my gate I was surrounded by soothing southern accents, and I knew it was going to be okay because I remembered I liked it down here.
