This weekend

This weekend was my high school's homecoming game and dance. I didn't go to the game because I work Friday nights, but everyone came home from college for it. One of my really good friends was having a party and I stopped by after work. I didn't really know what to expect when I got there, but there were so many people there. It was a lot of fun catching up with everyone. It seemed like everyone forgot about the high school drama and got along really well. I had the time of my life this weekend seeing everyone. A lot of my friends are coming home again for Thanksgiving.. I can't wait!!

Go Blue!!

Did everyone watch the game on Saturday? It's about time we won. That was such a good comeback. My friends and I were going to leave at halftime since we were down by 19 points and the game seemed hopeless. It looked like we were just going to hand Wisconsin the win, but to everyone's surprise we came back! We decided to stay which turned out to be a good choice because the second half was so exciting! We came back to win 27-25.. I still cannot believe it. Go Blue!!

America's Got Talent

Some of my coworkers watch the show, America's Got Talent, and always discuss it at work. I have never seen the show, but I guess this season featured a four-year-old girl whose talent is singing. My coworkers showed me a video recapping her performances and she really is an adorable little girl. She made it all the way to the top ten where she was eliminated. I really think it's horrible that her parents put her in the public eye at such a young age. In the video, she looked terrified every time she walked on the stage to perform, and she looked even more scared when the judges came down on her. I don't feel that it was right of her parents to put her in such a pressured situation. I wonder if she really understood everything that was going on and how being eliminated has affected her. I mean adults are crushed when they are sent home in a reality show, I can't even imagine the effects it had on her. It really is a shame to put a little girl through all of that.

Here's a link to a video recap of her on the show if you guys want to check it out:

Gas Prices

Gas prices are RIDICULOUS!!! I worked 12 hours yesterday and didn't feel like stopping for gas on the way home because I was exhausted. I should've just stopped because now my day is off to a horrible start. My gas light was on when I started my car this morning and I had no choice but to stop before class. It cost me 80 dollars to fill my tank because I have a jeep. After work today, I am going to Central to visit a couple of my friends. There goes my gas. Seriously, jeeps have the worst gas milage ever!! I am so mad about it. What a great way to start my day.

Small World

While Jordan, Ryan, and I were talking today about what songs would be good examples to use in our papers, Kenny Chesney was brought up. Jordan said that he goes to Kenny Chesney's concert every year and I told them that I went this past year . We were telling Ryan how the show is more like a huge bash than a concert because there are so many performers and everyone talks to each other. I was telling them how the people who sat behind me were really excited about the concert, and kept asking my friends and I if we were ready for it. Jordan's face was priceless after I said that, so I asked him if that was him. To my surprise, it was! I met Jordan on the first day of class, and he and I hang out in the University Center with Ryan and Kristine in between our classes. I would never have made the connection that he was the "goofball" who sat directly behind me at the concert in August. What a small world!!

Well anyways, we also found out that some people aren't fans of Kenny Chesney so I thought I'd post the link to his webpage so everyone could check him out.

Have a good weekend everyone!!

My First Week of College

I didn't feel like a freshman on campus the first day of classes because I have been working on campus since May. On the first day, I noticed that my peers were very quiet. It was different a whole different atmosphere from what I was used to on campus because I normally spend all my time in the University Center where it's very hard to find a quiet spot. I spent a total of 12 hours on campus the first day between classes and work. I was a bit skeptical on staying the whole time, but it turned out to be really fun and I met a lot of people.
I do not have class or work on Thursdays so I spent the day doing homework. I didn't have that many assignments at all so I finished everything in a few hours.
I had two classes and work on Friday with really long breaks. After my last class of the day and before work, I went out to eat with some friends I met on campus. I came back to work from 6 to 10 at night. Only one event was going on and not many people were here. It was a great opportunity to finish some homework but I really don't like working Friday nights.
Overall, the first week of college was amazing. Dearborn doesn't feel like a commuter campus at all.
