Summer and OWU

So... It's been about 2 months since I updated... what a busy two months! I had a wonderful time in DC and got to see Spring Awakening three more times. I saw three different people as Thea and it was amazing to see the differences! Going to the stage door after every show was also a blast. The day Sarah and Lindsay showed up, we were walking around China Town and discovered the Jonas Brothers tour bus... haha We signed the bus and met a boy band named WOW and then went to dinner... We had no intentions of actually going to the concert, but then I got talked into buying three tickets for $50. It was pretty amazing. The lighting was awesome and the concert was actually better than I thought it was going to be so that was nice. We also went to see Harry Potter 6 at midnight and that was a lot of fun, though I got angry about once every three min of the movie... haha I always read the books before going to see the movie even though I know that it's not a good idea. Sarah met someone else who was going to Miami... Small world. We also went to 42nd Street and on the way home we were blaring "Bitch of Living" and I almost hit a mouse or something running across the road and I screamed which caused everyone else in the car to scream. It was funny. We had fun visiting all the museums and doing the average sight seeing. The last day was slightly awkward but other than that it was a really good time.

A week after I got back from DC, I left for Drummond with my family and we went up a week ahead of Max and Lacey. I spent time hiking with my grandpa, sleeping, reading, eating wonderful home cooked meals, and painting with my grandma. I also found out that we had fox so I got to watch SYTYCD! After my cousins came up, things kinda sped up and I didn't get quite as much accomplished. We watched movies almost every night and I stayed up later on my computer because Lacey had her computer. This meant that I was waking up later and didn't have as much time to just chill and relax. We went shopping and through a home tour and to Scotts Camp a few times because the first time PJ was there and then the weather wasn't good. We had a scavenger hunt that we created for other people. My sister included MJ and Anthony Rapp in mine, which made me laugh. We also replaced the space heater in the cabin and Max scarred my dad pretty good by sticking his hand through the hole in the wall. We had a nice last dinner at my grandparents and then got in the car and headed towards the Ferry. When we got out of the car in lower Michigan it was suddenly 90 degrees when the last time I had been out it was 60...

When I got home I started getting ready for OWU. I found out that Tues there was supposed to be a meteor shower and I really wanted to go, but it was already around midnight and I didn't really want to wake anyone up but then Lauren changed her facebook status to say that she was going to look at stars and I called her and was like "I wanna come" and then I went and let my dad know where I was going. It was me, Steph, Lauren, Danielle, and Katie S. Danielle and I sat out on a doc on Alum Creek off of Africa Rd for a long time and enjoyed the stars but everyone else was creeped out so they stayed by the car. After a while everyone went back to Lauren's house and then we stayed out and watched from her house until 4 in the morning. We saw a lot of shooting stars even with the cloud cover. I ended up staying at Lauren's until the next morning. That night I went back out again and took Katie B with me to watch from the house on Africa. It was a lot clearer and we had a lovely view.

Thursday night, I went to see the Time Traveler's wife with my friends at midnight and then spent the night at Danielle's. It was such a good movie. Everyone was sobbing by the end of the movie.

The next night I went to Megan's house and watched 17 Again and cooked s'mores and hung out. I had to go home early because I moved in the next day and I wasn't completely packed. I moved in the next day.

I was greeted by the FreshX team and they called my group of friends that had come to help me move in my "entourage" it was pretty funny. The joke was kept up throughout the entire time at FreshX. lol

FreshX was an amazing experience! Everyone in my group was so nice and we all became close really fast. Our van was known as "The Chosen Sperm" and the van in front of us was "Greg's Mom" it was great. We all got into extremely deep conversations and it was easy to learn to trust everyone. We all shared extremely personal facts and it was a wonderful time. We got to play a whole bunch of games. My favorite was the wizard and gelflings. The hardest game was Left, Right, You, Me. We went hiking and canoeing and on the last day we went white water rafting and then to cracker barrel. Group C also won the fashion show on the last night, so we got to make s'mores first. :-) White Water Rafting was amazing! We had Cory as our guide and he was so funny! No one fell out of our boat (Group C stuck together). we all got to jump off of a rock into the New River which was a lot of fun, and I faced my fear of heights and falling off of rocks.

After we got back to Campus I crashed right away. The next morning I got up and went back home to get a few more clothes and stuff that I hadn't brought the weekend before. I kept in contact with my Fresh X group and felt kind of bad cuz I was invited to a frat party at Chi Phi and wasn't allowed to bring my roommates, but they seemed cool about it. The party was fun, there wasn't any pressure to drink, so that was really nice. Everyone was really nice and funny, even when drunk. Orientation has seemed really boring and kinda lame, but we're tye-dying our shirts, so that should be fun.

I'm gonna try to keep this updated as my freshmen year goes on, but we'll she how that works out... lol :-)
