So today, Meagan Thorlakson and I had a "Big Bang Theory" Marathon all day! We got through season 3 and started season 4. Meagan and I decided we wanted frozen yogurt, but unfortunately everything was closed. Even after all that however, we still didn't feel as though we'd had our share of geekiness, and so at 10 p.m. she then turns to me and asks if I wanted to go on a road trip. Right then! So we hop into the car, drive over to Safeway (because we still want frozen yogurt)... plus we want chips for the drive
Then we drive straight out of Lethbridge, headed for.......
Vulcan, Alberta!!!!! Woot!!! We get there about midnight and just drive around, geeking out on all the Star Trek stuff!
It was a really random but really fun night! Yay Meagan!

So today was my 19th Birthday, the first away from home, and unfortunately I had class. But on the bright side, Bill Nye the "Science Guy" came to give a guest lecture to the school! That was so cool! I'm pretty sure every public school kid from my generation knows who Bill Nye is. I got is autograph and a picture with him, and yes, his eyebrows do really look like that in real life!
After Bill Nye, Hannah and Connor, two of Alicia's friends from Lacomb took me out to the Zoo for a few drinks before they had to go home. Then Nicki drove me and a few other people to the Stone for supper and drinks. It was so nice. Several of the DHI sisters showed up, as well as several people on my floor. They bought me pretty interesting drinks to say the least.
When we got back, Kevin and Alex (she lives on my floor and is as big of a Harry Potter/music geek as I am) had a birthday present for me. The card was referencing the Wizard of Oz and Wicked, which I was really happy about, then Kevin showed me what they got me! It's a stuffed giraffe and it is supper cute!!!!!! I named him Devlin! Then we went for a walk, just the three of us, around campus. Its so nice to actually be able to hang out with Kevin and Alex, they both have more free time on their hands now that it's 2nd semester. All in all, I had a fantastic birthday!

First of all Happy Birthday to my nephew Tyler!
Last night was the spa/movie night for DHI. We had a potluck, watched Sydney White and painted our nails. It was set up as a meet and greet with potential new pledges just to show them that being in a sorority is fun and it really is a sisterhood. (Although as we watched Sydney White we had to tell them the differences between the awful things that happen in the movie and actually things we do in real life!)
It was a lot of fun!
After the Movie Night I went back to the floor and jammed with Kevin, Kurt and Alicia some more. That is turning into my favorite past time at the University (when I'm not studying of course like I am now). Kevin and I worked on a few of the songs we'll be doing (eventually) for Open Mic Night. Kurt's improving a ton! When we started he could carry a tune but his pitch was way off, now though he harmonizes without us telling him which notes to sing, its truly amazing. The only huge thing left to work on for him is his timing....
This morning however I got a lovely surprise in the mail! The Complete 8-DVD Collection of the Harry Potter DVD's that I bought with Christmas money finally arrived!!!! I'm so excited!!! It's so nice to have all of them and they're all mine! Ashley can't yell at me for having "family movies" anymore yay!

Well Happy Friday the 13th Everybody!
I survived the first week of school! My classes are good and I'm really happy with the Prof's. Rush week also went well. There were a few dirty looks from the "Other Sorority" but that's to be expected. Last night was the first "Studio Thursday" after school started to pretty much everyone on the floor got drunk and went out to party. Alicia and I had early classes so, surprise surprise, we stayed in and watched movies. At least that was the plan. At 9:15, Vicki, one of my fellow sorority sisters, walks into the common room and tell me Keltey on the floor is getting sick from drinking too much. So I go and take care of her. I put her hair up so she doesn't get sick on it. And I pretty much force her to drink water and eat crackers. She's fine and feeling a lot better but last night she was a wreak. It was honestly the most disgusting thing I've ever done and I not only held her hair while she was sick but helped her change her clothes and washed out her puke bucket several times. I also read to her to try and take her mind off it.
All something I hopefully won't have to repeat tomorrow. It is Meagan (DHI)'s Birthday tomorrow and me and a few other girls are going to Calgary for her birthday. I don't know exactly where we're going but its to a couple of bars (I'm designated driver) and staying with one of her friends. I'm pretty excited as it's the first away trip I've had away from the University aside from Rookie Camp. I'll let you know how it goes!

So first couple days of classes went really well. I still have Vox Musica (which is choir) but I'm not worried about that. I also have all of my textbooks for under $100!!! I'm so happy about that as I needed 5 novels for English and Textbooks for each Archaeology, Statistics and Macroeconomics. I love all of my teachers which is also really surprising. They seem fun, and yes I know the courses will be hard, but I feel that if I stay on top of my reading and homework, it won't be that stressful. In English I have to read "A Modest Proposal" by Dr. Jonathan Swift and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Man with the Twisted Lip" by Friday. So the work begins!
Today is also the 2nd day of Rush Week at the University so I'm busy with DHI trying to get new pledges, which is proving difficult with the fact that this Kappa Pi Chi attempt at a sorority has been more or less grabbing girls as they walk by. Its sad but it's actually pretty entertaining the look of sheer terror on their faces when their grabbed. Oh well! We must accept what we cannot change.

Hi everyone, I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, but I've been really busy with school and then holidays. Christmas was really nice this year and I don't think I've posted this but I finished my first semester with a GPA of 3.65! I'm so happy!
Anyways, today was my first full day back. Alicia, me and a new girl on the floor, Lauren, went downtown today to pick up my printer and Alicia wanted a hair cut. We hung out at the mall for a while, and we decided we wanted to see a movie so we bought tickets for the 3:30 showing of Sherlock Holmes then went to Staples to pick up my printer as they would be closed by the time we got out of the movie. Boy was that thing awkward to carry. It wasn't heavy, just awkward. Before we went in though, we were stopped my management because the printer box was too big. It wasn't a big deal though, because management said they'd keep it safe for me.The movie was good, awesome ending but I won't spoil it for you! After getting back to the floor, we said hi to the other's back on the floor, watched a movie that I have no idea of the title. Then hung out, played some pool and some risk in the Void for a couple hours. Basically just enjoyed each other's company.
