So I've basically spent the whole weekend at Sam's. I went over Friday night because she was having a party. We all got very drunk and disorderly. I, unfortunately, had to play catch up.. which wasn't very good. I always seem to loose when we play drinking games. At her little party was the two of us (obviously), Sean, Brad, Brad's younger brother & his girlfriend, and one of Sam's friends from back home. Once everyone was very much inebriated  it was time for bed. Apparently, Sam's friend had a giant crush on her and wanted to sleep in her bed that night. Thank goodness I was there because I kinda laid claim to it. From my point of view, I was gonna end up sharing a bed with someone and I would much prefer it be Sam than a drunk boy. MY GOODNESS was her bed comfy... She has memory foam or something on it, either way it was the best night's sleep I've gotten in a long time!

When we woke up, apparently her friend decided to go home. We got up at 9 and he was already gone. Sam decided to make Sean and I breakfast. Sam is one of the best cooks I know. She made bacon and pancakes and they were perfect! Mmm my mouth is watering just thinking about them. During breakfast we watched Get Him to The Greek. After breakfast, we went shopping because that night was Christmas Dinner at Sam's place. Thank goodness we got to stop at my place so I could change my clothes and grab my Yorkshire Pudding recipe. I know, you're not supposed to have Yorkshire Pudding with Turkey but I wanted to contribute something! While the turkey was cooking, Sam, Sean and I studied a bit for our Information Technology Final that was later on in the week.

For Dinner, one of Sam's co-worker's from Wal-mart came, as well as Brittney, Vicky and Brady. (Vicky's in the sorority with me). It took a little longer than expected to cook the turkey. The first time we cut into it it was still raw, but once everything was done it was fantastic! There was stuffing and mashed potatoes. My Yorkshire Pudding's came out perfectly!

Dinner conversation (what little there was because we were all stuffing our faces) was about Brady's police stuff. He's at the college for Police right now and he was regaling us with stories about his practical work. Dessert was a choice between two different cakes, Chocolate or Oreo. Both were delicious. I don't think anyone could finish what was on their plates. It was all so good! Sam even packed us each a TV Dinner with the leftovers! It was really late when Sean dropped me off at home. I was absolutely stuffed and I think I slept until noon today!

Tonight was Kelsie Schlese's Birthday At Pops Pub. Kelsie and I have become really close this year so of course I went to celebrate her Birthday. Plus, (and she came up with this name, not me) every Tuesday for the past few weeks we've gone out, either for Karaoke or for supper, something that has been dubbed "Drunk Tuesdays". Pops was awesome. Kelsie got very, very drunk. All she had to do was ask the waitress to bring her something yummy. She had a shot called the Ninja Turtle which had a few different colored layers, apparently it was good, and the bar tender kept coming up with very fruity drinks for her, one was even melon flavored! Everyone kept buying her shots. There was a mix of DHI girls and some of her D/E 2 friends from last year in attendance. Halfway through the evening, Name that Tune begins. Obviously we had to play. It was a pretty tight competition. One of her friends had to get up and pretend to be Ricky Martin. Oh my gosh! He started dancing in a way that very much reminded me of Daniel Fraser back home! The other two in the competition took one look at him and gave up. Needless to say, we won, big time! It was awesome.

Yesterday was lock in. It was a ton of fun. We were supposed to watch movies and play games but there were no cords, again, so the movie was out. Oh well, it was a blast either way. Some of the girls played Apples to Apples and we made collages and friendship bracelets. Just a bunch of girly things!

Today was initiations. Now I can't say much about it except Congratulations to all my new, wonderful sisters! Welcome to Delta Eta Iota! We did all the traditions and it was wonderful to welcome all the new lovely ladies into our sisterhood.

So today was a VERY busy day! At 7 am I had to be up so I could register for all my classes. I got into all but 1, that one being a third year course so I wasn't really expecting to get into it first try. It wasn't too bad, I got to go back to bed after it. I am now in Managing Accounting, Research Methodology, Human Resources Management, Neuroscience Brain and Behavior. I still need to get into Managing Responsibly in a Global Environment. Next semester looks to be very study-orientated.

This afternoon was our D/E1 Reunion Potluck at Alicia & Veronica's place. I was the second to arrive, just after Cody (no surprise there!) I had to leave early but it was a lot of fun none the less. I brought Potato Casserole (Terista Still's recipe from back home) and it seemed to be a hit. Most of the girls were there, Amy, Allie, Cheyenne, etc. Ben came. Even Micheal came! We barely saw him at ALL last year but he came to the reunion potluck! It was so good to see everyone again. I wish more people could've come but it was good to see those who did.

The reason I had to leave early was because of the Fraternities annual Black Light Party. Kelly came to pick me up and we went over to Jocelyn's for some pre-gaming. It was hilarious! I love spending time with my sisters! For the blacklight party, everyone had to wear a white shirt that they were okay with people writing on. All the lights in the frat house had been replaced with black lights. So it was basically a giant party but there were highlighters circulating that you could write on people with. It was so much fun! Although, frat guys will be frat guys. They tried something that they dubbed "Stair Whiskey" and (only if you wanted!!!) when you came up the stairs from the basement, you could stand on the landing and they would try to pour straight whiskey from the upstairs into your mouth. I was definitely not dumb enough to try that! Everyone got a little rowdy but Alysha offered to be the DD so at least we didn't have to pay for a taxi home!

So tonight was the Christmas cabaret for Residence Students. My DHI little sister Liesl Geib invited me to go with her. Liesl and I both had huge puffy ball gowns, which looked hilarious standing in Dorica's living room while we were getting ready! It was so much fun!! I got to wear my graduation dress again which was wonderful, and I got to see a bunch of people from my residence floor last year who have become RA's.

The Cab was so much fun! We danced and laughed and had a great time. Alex wasn't feeling well so she left early, unfortunately. I had so much fun, probably twice as much as my own Christmas Cab last year.

So tonight was the other half of the pledge classes fundraiser. And they had a Casino Night! It was stupendous !! They raised over $550 and brought in over $600 in donations from various businesses around Lethbridge. I am absolutely amazed at the dedication these girls are showing to Delta.

I had a ton of fun at the Casino Night! They had various games such as Poker, Black Jack, Roulette and a few games of chance as well. I met a lot of cool people. I went bankrupt by 7 p.m. but I managed to help Kristin hold onto her money at the Black Jack table for a few more hours. I also won one of the Door Prizes. It was a spa kit worth over $100! It had shampoo and conditioner, a foot pumice, soaps, a music box and a diffuser! It is absolutely beautiful and it came in a Paris themed box!

Tonight was the People Auction Fundraiser by our DHI Pledges Tuesday Class. It was amazing!! I am so proud of our girls and I cannot wait to make them official sisters! They auctioned off 12 people for a minimum of $10 and they ended up with over $200!!

It was very entertaining watching which people came out to bid on specific people. Tyler, one of Alex's friends, was bid on this kinda scary looking girl who glared at anyone who tried to bid on him. I of course, being the good friend, bid everyone up if I could see that they really wanted someone! Either way, the proceeds went to charity so I don't feel bad! 

Back Posting!!

I apologize for all the back posts but life has been pretty chaotic lately. Now that it's after Christmas everything has calmed down slightly. Again, I apologize, but everything's up now!
