Sunshine and Tracks

 It's been such a fun weekend! Friday we met up with Trish n Brian at Winking Lizard.

Saturday went to the mall, had yummy dinner, and then bowled with Trish,Brian, and May! Also fun, especially when we discovered the screen tells you how fast you bowled...once I found THAT out...haha.  Josh beat everybody in terms of bowling speed, but he did not win the knocking down pins part.

Sunday...this is how it started...woke up and could not find my glasses, my purse, or my phone.  Trying to find my glasses when I cannot see is just bad...and it was a struggle...eventually he told me it was in the tissue box. Yes, my glasses were hiding in the layers of kleenex.  This was an hour after I had initially looked for them.  An hour later I got a hint and found my purse.  An hour later I still didn't know where my phone was.  Took a lot of hints and still couldn't figure it out, apparently I was touching it and yet I couldn't figure it out.  I did find it by accident.  It was hiding between the fitted sheet and the mattress. note that I took naps in between searches... I should not look for treasure. Ever.

Then...

I wanted to go outside.  Josh wanted to take a picture of the bridge.  He likes how it was built.
I wanted to go on it....

View from the top. Hooray! It was very bright. A beautiful day!

Finalllly explored Thompson library! Josh and I took the stairs to the roof! I don't remember how many flights we walked, but it was a lot...like 10?11?12? I don't know...but the view is amazing! more amazing than my not knowing it was a library for a while...and not going in it...now I found a good new work out...walk up and down those stairs once a day...if only I can get myself to do that.

Best part of OSU campus probably. The view.

walked around campus, got icecream, more walking, made fun of a grammatically incorrect (official/important) sign on campus.  I can't imagine how they thought it makes sense.  I should go back and take a picture of it sometime.  It either needs a comma, or just needs to be reworded.  "helped" him with homework, more like watching him do homework.  Then, I went out to get food to make dinner as he continued to do homework.  As he was doing homework apparently the little paragraph i was working on last night was not saved when he shut off my computer (my fault) so i told him he could save it however he wanted. This is what I ended up with, "Duhr, I don't save my work, Doy De Dum De Duhr!" Thanks. haha.

Ok so apparently, when I went out to get food for dinner out on Hilliard Rome Kroger, I saw a bunch of cops and lights...I am watching the news now, and it turns out it was a hit and run that caused a fire and a resulting 6 car pile up with a lot of injuries!...How do I always manage to see car accidents...3 in one week, although this one I guess I didn't see but more of the aftermath, but still! it's a lot of car accidents.  i told Josh it is a sign that maybe I shouldn't drive.

Then we videoskyped with Fei which was fun.  I gave her a tour of the apartment with my tiny, tiny eee pc and my webcam!

What a lovely weekend :)

I am very happy

Dance, Dance, Dance

Well, the first two midterms went very well which is very encouraging.  The distribution of the grades weren't great but at least now everybody knows and is more familiar with the format of exams so hopefully it gets better for everybody.

Friday evening we went to Charlie Bear's Land of Dance, it was very fun!

Music is great!



AND you can TWEET requests.  I did not get my song played as their twitter was off the hook busy but I did get a random Columbus DJ follow me on twitter instead.  I'd really rather they had played my song.

The bar itself is fun, set up like an old disco bar and it was relatively spacious.  It's a 21+ and there weren't any middle agers there either.

At one point this group of guys came up and were like "Our friend is particularly attracted to you but is too nervous to come talk to you because you intimidate him."  I am scary? possibly.  We ended up just walking off at some point.  Also one guy stalked Taylor towards the end, and even as we went into the crowd, he followed, although it was to his advantage that he was like the Tallest guy in the room and can see over everybody.  Brian's friends eventually came and one was adopted as Taylor's fake boyfriend to help keep tall guy away, lol. Dancing with everybody was fun, a lot of singing, yelling, and dancing.

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y


Many hours of dancing.  Trevor did a good job of keeping guys away.  I could see them at the table.

I think it was the same guys that yelled "oooh, she gave you the cold shoulder" as earlier as May and I ran away to get to my car as it was cold. Hah.

I really enjoy my friends here.

There was a BUNNY in the back yard! so cute!


Also,

Made Chicken a la King today, it is delicious.

Today I bought an antenna for my television.  watched the Super bowl, the commercials, and am now watching Glee.  This turned out pretty well!

Now I've just gotta do well on my last midterm and figure out plans for next weekend (valentines weekend).  who knows? I guess we'll see how things go.

Ah, nostalgia.

For the sake of Science



hahahahahaha....

we made a lot of jokes about how we should make our own music videos in lab...we should've done it. this is great, and so realistic. This happens in the world of science, all.the.time.
