So I went to the gym with the guys yesterday (one being on the soccer team) and now my abs are killing me... joy! After the gym though, we came back to the floor and since I love singing and Kevin (soccer player) loves playing guitar, we and our other gym buddy Kurt had a mini jam session in the common room. Well more people start to join in, then Allie brings in her keyboard and we start playing Don't Stop Believing. Before we even start singing it, everyone on the floor is jamming along and they're filming it and it was just an all around great time.
After the jam session, Kevin told me that he'd teach me to play the guitar so we sat on my bed with Alicia and Max as an audience as Kevin showed me some chords. I am proud to say I can play E minor, D, C and G chords on the guitar!
Our RA Amy was on duty last night and she promised us that after she did her rounds she'd make us "Late-night Pancakes" which is something special on our floor. Some of us decided we didn't want to sit around and wait for her to get back to we went with her to the other floors while she checked to make sure everyone was obeying quiet hours. It was so much fun, we freaked a lot of people out. When we were walking across the breezeway, we hear this guy say "are there any RA's here?" Like hello! Stupidest thing EVER to ask, if he hadn't have said anything, we wouldn't have seen him. Anyways, turns out he was smoking an illegal substance and Amy, being the RA had to write him up, needless to say she didn't have time to make pancakes for those of us who didn't go clubbing (by the way, Thursdays in Lethbridge are cheap drinks night at all the clubs so the majority of our floor goes out). So I made pancakes for everyone instead. It was funny because they all were like little puppies after you've introduced them to their first dog treats!

So today classes were pretty boring. At 4 though I had my Musical Theater Society meeting. Last night I attempted to convince Kurt and Kevin to join it with me because they both love music. Kevin went home today but Kurt actually showed up. I was pretty stunned. We worked on "This is Halloween" from "A Nightmare Before Christmas" and a little bit of "The Things you can Think" from a "Seussical". When we got back to the common room, we all decide to watch A Nightmare Before Christmas. I also finalized plans for Thanksgiving. I'm not taking the bus, thank goodness, but there's a girl here, Riley, who went the Memorial Composite High School with me and we're going to carpool home! Yayy! And tomorrow I'm going out with Kurt and Alicia to shop for Halloween costumes! It should be fun!
