senior year

day 15
meredith got up wicked early and left me for chicago. she was going on an art field trip with i think her printmaking class. they didnt get back until after 10. AND they stopped at the dunes on the way home for devotions. wicked cool. owell. well, without meredith, and being rather tired from closing the night before and getting to bed slightly late-ish, i decided to go for my first chapel skip. yay. i got up late, got ready, and headed off for my big block o' classes. exciting. in psalms we were supposed to find parallelisms in a certain psalm and i worked with danny v, jew, and josh weesner. we are so stupid. but anyways. oh, and while i was on the way to that class i guess weesner was trying to get ahold of me on my cell to make sure i was coming. ??? i told him i was coming from bio and i stopped to talk to sarah baglien. silly boy. and he axed for my extension just in case. i'm such a loser. then off to pentateuch for wilbur's wisdom. came back from class and mucked around some, went to walmart with heather and bought MY NEW CAMERA -- EOS REBEL GII! it's so sweet. its the same film camera meredith has, only a newer model. i'm super psyched. made tenative dinner plans with h & k, but then joe showed up with 2 boxes of cheeseburger hamburger helper and 3 lbs of beef. so joe made dinner (and about 3 extra lunches and 5 extra dinners). while we were eating elissa haywood showed up to chill wit h & k and they started watching "can't hardly wait" coz elissa had never seen it before. during it melissa jo called up and invited us over to the boys townhouse to chill and maybe watch a movie. i IM'd carl and instructed him to make an appearance. then we went over and i brought "so i married an axe murderer" and "drumline" just in case. we sat around and looked at mere/suzin's camp pix and then melody's camp pix that christy had brought, and we chilled. and we chilled. and then after making elaborate sleepover plans with dignal and christy, they left and we put it axe murderer and watched that. mere called right before it ended. she was tired from her trip though. when it was over i went home and packed my junk up. dignal and jo the girl came over. joe the boy left. i left (went to dignals). we hung out, at pbj, talked about how old we are coz it was 1:30ish and we were so tired already. went in dignals room and set up camp and began watching empire records (extended version). had to stop halfway through to go to bed.

day 16
woke up on dignal's hardwood floor. dozed on and off for awhile. realized it was around 11. we all got up finally around 11:20. we hung out for a bit, got slightly ready and packed, and headed for the SC for food. got wildcat and headed for the SGO office to eat and observe the masses. being protected by the giant picture window, we felt safe and secure enough to do strange things. made posters to promote voter awareness (includes grant swartzentruber's very drunk looking DL pic and the phrase "if you didn't vote, you did this to yourself"). then saw nate medders (of pizza hut and iwu) eating a corn dog in the SC and got creative. put up a "HI NATE MEDDERS" sign and tried to attract his attention. also put up a "nate medders is eating a corn dog" sign. we flipped the lights on and off repeatedly for a long time. we turned them off and turned a lamp on and off repeatedly. we banged on the window. we made funny faces. we yelled. we finally circled the nate medders signs in xmas lights for added emphasis. all to no avail. that boy is so unobservant of his surroundings. he does appear to have autistic tendencies, however. after he left without seeing we got bored fast, and i left to get ready for work. i showered and got dressed, and discovered jenalee was in my TH looking at our camp pix. so surreal. then left for work. spent the entire drive down on the phone with joe. grrrrr. then worked. we sent home all the non-closers except JD (just to be mean). jeremy, me, nate medders (who i'd already told the day's adventure to), and JD. jeremy sent JD to starbucks up the street to get us all frappes. since it was nate's 21st bday. we drank ums up. we went NUTS. JD had left. we were so stoned on coffee, it was awesome. then matt burns showed up to do preps for the next day so he'd have some time to sleep before coming back in the next morning. then another knock on the back door--BIG DADDY HETTS! this brian kid that had gone off to IU for his frosh year randomly shows up that night! so we had fun. he hung around, answered the phone a couple times, and just talked. then robby and zack came back in with a friend and hung out as well. so nuts. and because we'd been so freaking slow (nothing but a couple deliveries from about 9:30 on), jeremy let us work ahead (within reason) and we basically were done 20 minutes after 12. that's record, baby. well, burns was still there. but it still counts. so then i left and came home to exchange fun stories with meredith before we went to bed.
