monday monday

gotta love the mommas and the poppas... they're great.

speaking of great, ultimate update is we placed 6th out of 23 teams (pretty rockin) and we only lost to the team that eventually won the whole thing (we had to play them twice... stinkies). i even got a sweet tshirt (score!)
we got back a little after 11:30pm last night... yes, a very long day, and i was exhausted. in fact, i woke up at 7:30am this morning for breakfast, went and ate, came back, and went to sleep for another 2.5 hours. luckily my schedule now allows me to do that.

speaking of schedule, i register for classes on thursday (registration times are assigned to us) and i think it's the last day, so i am hoping and praying that i get all my classes that are all planned out right now... cause otherwise, it's not going to be pretty... did i mention that i am super excited about next semester's schedule (if i get it)?

speaking of excitement in relation to school... declaration no longer has anything to do with independence... last week i officially declared my major. again, i am super excited! it feels good to declare!!!
and before anyone even tries to pull out these statistics about how many times people change majors and what percentage of people will end up with a different major than they started with, let me vent... i am aware of those statistics (thanks to too many people) and i am not ignoring those statistics, i am not denying that those statistcs have a chance of being true to me (although i think the chance is very very slim), i am just following my heart right now... and trust me, i have had more affirmation than anything lately. so don't tell me about those statistics, i am aware... and quite frankly, i will slap the next person who pulls out those statistics on me...
can you tell i am a bit bitter :)
end of vent...

speaking of vent... the guy i played against in the ping pong tournament tonight had such a tough serve that basically every time he served i would miss hit the ping pong ball and it would fly straight up and hit the air vent above me. it was best 3 out of 5 games to 11 points... rally for serve. so, it pretty much went ping pong rally on, and then it was over. it went pretty fast, with me losing horribly... but it was fun... and judging by the fact that the last time i played was probably that time that chrissy and i made it over a hundred in that one rally at house church, i think i fared rather well.

speaking of church, at wendy's on the way home from ohio last night, there was a group of over 20 menanites ("amish people who can drive and go to walmart" as it was explained to me last night) were there... it was awesome!!!!!! they totally had the amish get up (i love their outfits... i wanna get me one of those hats that the ladies wear)... and they were very nice. i had a conversation with one while standing in line, she was just asking where we were from and what-not. and to add to the exciting amish atmosphere, there was a group of about 15 senior citizens (all well over 70 years old) enjoying a wendy's meal. and then there was a group of 15 college kids (us). wendy's was the place to be last night, it was hoppin'.

speaking of hoppin'.... actually, i will not say what "hoppin'" reminds me of because it isn't appropriate... lets just say it was the graphic that was on the tournament disc for the ultimate tournament, and i was rather disgusted by it, so i did not buy a disc... sadly, yet another look at college ultimate culture.

speaking of culture, i have a 4-page paper to write for my communications and culture class that's due tomorrow. i should get on that and start writing.

speaking of writing, in case you haven't noticed, i have been purposely writing "speaking of ______" to see if y'all would get annoyed... or even notice that i was doing it. if you haven't noticed, go ahead and hold your head in shame, because it should be pretty obvious.

speaking of obvious, is it pretty obvious to you guys that this should be a good time to end the post?

speaking of ending the post...

So, I just thought I'd let you know... there are a lot of people who DO change their major, and I just thought you should know in advance...

ow! no! stop! (sound of Rebekah being beaten)

hahahahhaha just kidding.

This is really weird. You are sitting in my room two feet away.

Hmmmmmmmm......

well, i won't tell you statistics, but you know i don't think you could slap me even if you wanted to...its that whole issue of you being across the country and everything. not to mention the fact that upon seeing my smiling face you could never bring yourself to slap ME. ha ha!

oh, do me a favor and take a picture of yourself with your purple balloons and post it. that is an awesome idea! :)
