In my speech class today two people did their demonstration speech on Origami. Everyone in the class got brightly colored pieces of paper and with one girl - made a tulip, and with the other- a super sweet, incredibly cute, rather small box. I did origami this morning. And it made my day.

Today is also Campus Day. The whole college gets together with their living areas, (apartments, dorms, etc.) and compete for a prize. Everyone represents their team with a t-shirt. Ours are brown - great color . . . The fun starts at 3:00! I'm bringng my video camera in hopes of capturing some awesome footage. I HOPE WE WIN!!! Everyone thinks my family is competetive; we are. I'm not as hard-core as my mother and sister, but I can sure get up there on the intense level. A problem for us freshmen is that this is our first time, while most of the upper classmen have already participated and some (of course) have won. We will also be competing against boys . . . who tend to take things like this way too seriously. Wish us luck!

I am ridiculously excited about going home for the Summer next Tuesday!!! I have all sorts of plans and hopes, but the best part will be NO SCHOOL! It's a little sad to be leaving my friends here, my roommate, and my bed, which happens to be much more comfortable than home. But I'm sure I'll be totally fine once I hit the open road and drive the six hours it takes to get back to my beloved central valley! First, however, I need to finish strong on finals.

Last night was the Communication Arts Banquet. As I am a Communication Arts major (Theatre) I was invited. I also got to cast my vote for best actress, actor, etc. of the year. It was a semi-formal affair with me in a black dress and heels, a lovely catered dinner, skits and videos and picture taking (as usual). It was very enjoyable! During the night I got a (this is random) gift card to starbucks from a guy who I had helped with a project of his. A bunch of us had made a movie for his project and even though I was an extra, I got my share of the spot light! He even promised me a DVD - I can't wait to laugh at us when I watch it!

I hope your day is great! Adios!

P.S.
I forgot to mention in my last posting that I have now been a CMT for a whole year!!!
April tenth was when I graduated, so now I'm a seasoned pro . . . kind of.

Kat,

YOU ARE COMING HOME!!! How nice. You can come see the cottage. It's as clean as you've ever seen it and there are even more flowers. You can come to Monday Night and be obnoxious. You can look at Krista's amazing senior pictures. You can sign up to work as security for Apricot Fiesta (support your Mexico Mission Team! please!). You can make observances and tell me what you really think about things (I'm thinking of lots of different things). You can have the best shaved ice ever. You could have a tea party. You can sleep in once or twice, but don't get into any bad habits...

P.S. I'm not going sailing today. Arrggg! But we are going to do something. I don't really know what we are going to do. Joel and DT say we are going to the garbage disposal factory. I'm going to be very, very tired. We were texturing the living room last night, so I didn't get to bed until after 1am, and now I had to be at work at 6am. I'll probably be out tonight/tomorrow morning 'till ?am, so Kirsten is allowing me to sleep in until 8am on Saturday. Then it's back to painting.

Thanks for your enthusiasm!!! I can't wait to see you, do crazy and rational things (at the same time), talk, eat shaved ice "the best in the city" (Nacho), name that quote, etc.

The Princess Bride. Yep, I'm good . . .

I'm off to the beach today! No finals until Monday for me, so Jenni and Marian and Jenni's friends are heading out to catch some, but hopefully not too many, rays, go swimming, eat, have fun!
Bye! I hope you do something fun today!
