okay, so we had battle of the bye tonight after dinner and before we left for celebration on the grand. battle of the bye is a quick competion to see who gets a bye in the first round of chaos day (a huge day of competitions between all the dorms... go NVW!) so we all have dorm tshirts and stuff, and this year, NVW is the hive, so we have a bee theme going on. and our motto is "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."
for battle of the bye, we had to carry our dorm pres on a mattress in a race... we're the team in yellow: aka, the team the dropped the mattress... twice.
so after that, we headed for downtown grand rapids (which i think is really cool) and went to the bridge to watch fireworks... the fireworks were awesome, and the bridge was super crowded with people. in the middle of the firework 
show, as we were all seated on the bridge, a random downpour came down and soaked everyone... luckily it stopped, and the finale was incredible... some of the loudest firweworks i have ever heard... pretty cool.

and then, we got back... at around 11pm. and so some of us went to the phish house (the coffee shop here on campus) which is probably one of my new favorite places... really good chai tea latte and really cool atmosphere, open til midnight. so we went, and there was nobody else there, so we had ourselves a good time... and the fun continued for quite some time afterward since we had the caffiene waking us up a bit.
chaos day is tomorrow!!! so excited... and ultimate frisbee tryouts!!! i'll share more about that tomorrow, but i am SOOOO stinking excited for it... you'll see why!
