Hi everybody! I apologize for not blogging for the past few weeks but I've been super busy since getting back from Thanksgiving that I haven't had the time. Thanksgiving was awesome, it was so nice to see my family and all my friends again. Although I know now that I should've brought one of my dresses back to Leth. Apparently there's a formal Cabaret in November and I have absolutely nothing to wear! So Kevin, Allie, Alicia, Kurt and I are planning on going to the mall next Saturday to try and find something for the Cab.
There hasn't really been much going in the past week aside from classes but there has been a few events. On Friday, while everyone was out at the bar, Kevin, Megan (who looks EXACTLY like Jenna Boje!), Kurtis, Veronica, Nicki and I all went to one of the music practice rooms at 11 p.m. Megan and Kevin are both music students and have 24 hour access to those rooms, yay! We jammed and played random music until 2 in the morning, it was so much fun! I love playing music with them. I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but Kevin and I are planning on performing a duet (him playing guitar as well) for one of the Open Mic Nights at the Zoo (campus bar). We still haven't chosen a song but apparently he's up for anything so it will be interesting.
On Saturday night it was the Tight'n Bright Cabaret at the Zoo and it was exactly how it sounds! Tight and Bright EVERYTHING! It was only $5 to get in, which is super cheap compared to all the other Cabs. It was pretty fun too, some of the costumes were absolutely hilarious. I have no idea where these people got their ideas. There were several guys dressed in little kids costumes like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Superman. I didn't drink because it seemed utterly pointless, plus Kevin is not allowed to drink yet until soccer season's over so we were "Captain Sobers" together (its a random title that the floor designates to the non-drinkers of the night who still intend to have fun). After an hour we went back to Rez and watched How to Train Your Dragon. Kevin's become pretty much my best guy friend over here, Alicia being my best girl friend.
Sunday, Kevin and I made plans to go to Shoppers Drug Mart because we needed some groceries and I needed to pick up something for the Sorority Sisterly Sunday potluck that night and Kurt tagged along. After Shoppers, we went to the soccer game. Kevin, being a first-year, didn't play. In fact, he didn't even get to sit on the bench, he had to be in the stands, which absolutely sucks! Either way, we were beaten by the University of Alberta 3-0. It was freezing out! I had on a jacket, mits and a scarf and I was cold so I don't know how the boys (both of whom were in sweaters) could stand it. Then it was off to Sisterly Sunday and pumpkin carving! Which was so much fun. Then home for studying and homework.

September 30th, 2011
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!
