This weekend was so busy and totally AWESOME!! I did so many fun things.
To start off, Friday night there was supposed to be a bonfire by Coate Hall, but unfortunately, that got postponed until next weekend. So my friends and I decided that we would make cupcakes and puppy chow in the kitchen in the basement (every residence hall has at least one kitchen). We ended up having a great time despite the bonfire being postponed. It was soo much fun! It is amazing how much fun you can have just doing something as simple as cooking with your friends. Then we rented a DVD from the front desk and watched a movie while we enjoyed our treats! : )
On Saturday, I got up and ate breakfast at Whitney. Then the girls from our cube went to the Ropes Course that UW-L has down by Myrick Park. It was sooo cool! There were a few different activities that we could do. My personal favorite was the giant swing. It involves you getting hooked up to a cable and hoisted into the air. Once, you are hoisted all the way up, you have to pull a certain string, and when you do it, you just go flying down the cable and scream your head off---it was such a rush!
Then, later that night, we went to the Sanford Block Party (Sanford is another residence hall). They had live music by five different bands, which were pretty good I might add. There was also a variety of games and free food. It was a pretty good time.
After the Sanford Block Party, we went to the Concordia Ballroom which is just a few blocks from Coate Hall on La Crosse Street. One of my friends was co-hosting a salsa fiesta there. It involved salsa dancing as well as other dances including the tango. It was a lot of fun considering I like ballroom dancing and hanging out with my friends at the same time.
Today, I went to Myrick Park again for a picnic that the Roncalli Catholic Newman Center was hosting. There was free food as well as fun activities to do. Then I came back and did math homework for 3 hours! Afterwards, I relaxed for a while until two of my friends from Platteville got here. They had went home for the weekend and were stopping by on their way back. We went out to dinner at Fayze's downtown. It was really nice just to be able to chat and enjoy the good times with friends over dinner. But needless to say, I didn't get much homework done this weekend. I guess I will just have to make up for it by working extra hard tomorrow.
