Hey everyone! As much as it sucks, I've recently decided to make updates on here on an "as things happen" sort of basis. I've been busy so far this semester and it doesn't look like it's going to let up any time soon, so I think that for right now, updating more than every once in awhile is an unrealistic goal. Here are some final pictures of the WURHA 2011 conference:
Our awesome UWO display. The theme for the conference was "Back to Basics" and our school's theme was recess, so what better than a lego schoolyard?
Our role call ended in the hokey pokey- again, basics.
Friday night's entertainment was casino night- apparently Jacey is awesome at blackjack.
Ride the Pony/ Little Sally Walker. It was like being a cheerleader all over again!
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted anything new in uh... 10 days. Wow. I've been really busy getting ready for a conference this weekend, but hopefully I'll be able to get the last week's worth of stuff up sometime tonight/tomorrow morning before I leave. I haven't forgotten about the blog!
Yesterday Need I even mention that as a Wisconsin native, I was RIDICULOUSLY excited for the Super Bowl yesterday, and even MORE RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED that WE WON(!!!!!!!)? Yeah, I really do need to mention it. Because I am a Wisconsin native, and we DID win the Super Bowl.
Yeah. They went there. Anyway, no pictures from the game, because I wasn't there and I was too busy yelling at the TV to remember I had a camera.
Saturday My sister Sophie turned 20! Which is not why we won the Super Bowl, despite her wishing for it (we won cause we're just that awesome!).
WURHA, one of the conferences that USRH goes to, is quickly approaching, and in order to lower the delegate cost, we're having a grilled cheese sale. Apparently they have a history of being quite successful. Of course, to have a grilled cheese sale, we needed to stock up on some key ingredients.
The people in line behind us weren't thrilled, to say the least. It probably didn't help that we were doing our shopping the day before the Super Bowl, when absolutely everyone was stocking up on snacks.
Friday I should know by now that printing things in the USRH office is probably a bad idea. We have to buy our own paper, and of course we tend to use white for important/official things, or we run out. Which means that we usually have some kind of odd color in the printer.
And then you show up to class (with a SWEET Batman folder) and your notes look like that. Fun!
Thursday Things have been pretty chilly in the Midwest (everywhere?) lately, as you may have heard. So after having classes cancelled on Wednesday, you would think we'd have a ton of snow, right?
Well, we did, but that was there before. Apparently most of the blizzard hit further South than Oshkosh. I've been staring out at this for what seems like forever now.
Wednesday Regardless of the lack of promised snow, I don't think there was a single college student who wasn't excited to wake up to this email:
blah blah blah, State of Emergency, Chancellor Wells has decided to cancel all classes?!! Awesome!
Tuesday Remember the Tome from last semester? I was so excited to get rid of it, right up until I saw the textbook for my Milton class.
According to my professor, the publishers refer to this as "the Brick." Oh, the joys of being an English major. Really though- my friend Kristin tells me that this would be considered small for an accounting textbook.
Monday First day of Spring Semester 2011! And nothing will make you wish you had picked another major more than seeing this:
That's right. I have so many books this semester that they came in a cardboard tub. All 18 of them. The fact that they fit (quite nicely, even) on my bookshelf is a marvel.
Sunday Time to get back to school, after finishing 6 weeks of winter break. I think I would have gone crazy if I hadn't taken that interim class. Going back to school isn't entirely bad, though- we stopped at my relative's house and got in some W time!
Dad was teaching him how to show off his muscles. Looks like the gun show is in town!
