not so typical college student

meijer was having a sale on adult fleece onesies (how in the world do you spell that... i think i will just say one-Z) complete with footies and decorated with clouds.
there was no way i would pass that up.
so after getting back from meijer that night (a few of us were at meijer actually) we had a little movie night and watched little miss sunshine while i made the posters for my mum's bday. anyway, the oneZ was a hit with everyone on my floor. and i forgot that there were open hours that night, so, well, ya... other people thought it was pretty funny as well.
then shiloh and i got to hyper, and we started doing really random things. so i grabbed my unicycle, and we started out in the hall (as you can see in the pic) but then eventually made our way outside... yes, outside, on a unicycle, in a oneZ. did i mention it was freezing cold???

so that's a bit of the fun we've been having lately. not the typical stuff, but fun none-the-less.

and i've devised a theory that we don't really have weekends... just days without classes, giving us more time for studies and whatnot. and of course, tons of fun.

yesterday was last day of ultimate frisbee tryouts. i should find out either today or tomorrow whether or not i made the team.. i'll keep y'all posted.

we're supposed to hit a little warm spell the middle of this week... we'll actually hit 80 degrees hopefully for three of the days!!!

and wednesday i'll experience my first hope-calvin game in person... girl's volleyball game here, so that is going to be super fantasticly awesome.

well, i can't think of much more that i wanted to write, so i think the post ends here.
ciao for now.

oh wait.. i remembered something else... about pe 201. so we started reading out of our text books about ancient cultures and pe and athletics and stuff... and guess what....
plato and socrates held views on physical education and talked about them in plato's dialogues and "the republic". i was so fascinated by all the philosophy behind physical education, and it sounds weird, but it is really cool. all the stuff with ancient greeks and romans and how athletics and pe were viewed and used in their cultures... and even the whole debate education through the physical and education of the physical. it's really sweet stuff. and also the early and origianl olympics, and how women held their own games... i could go on and on with this stuff. he assigned 45 pages of reading one of the nights, and he said we could just skim it if we wanted, didn't really nead to read all of it (he's a pretty chill professor), but i started reading--it started with plato and socrates and aristotle--and i got so in to it that before i knew it, i actually read all of it.
pretty cool

anyway

i will stop there.

ciao
