Jigga yeah

OK so I've been really bad at updating, so here are a few things going on in my world right now:

Spring break was excellent, a nice food-filled vacation to Tejas to experience all that we have to offer, especially llamas at the zoo. I don't think the little kids got it when we were yelling "Tina, eat your food!" at them. Another highlight was the medicated animals petting zoo. The Houston Zoo redid their whole kids area, and now have a very large pen full of cute little baby goats and sheep and kind barnyard animals of that nature. Except, they didn't move. Little kids were running everywhere, petting them, generally making a lot of noise, and these animals looked as if they'd overdosed on Valium. One dad even made the comment to us, "I wonder what they put in their food".

As of right now, the Dome is having a cage built around it so it can be reguilded. Which means at graduation, we will definitely have scaffolding all over the dome, and it might even be some sort of weird color if they already start taking the gold off. Way to care about the students, administration.

In other remodeling news, I think both Philip and Adam would be glad to be out of Dillon this semester. It is constantly surrounded by large machines and people on those machines power washing the walls of Dillon. Forget about sleeping in or taking a nap.

No one else may care, but I won an iPod mini from the PAC! You spend enough time in one building, it starts to get its rewards.

Spring Break WOO

After probably the two longest and busiest weeks of my LIFE, it's finally spring break (woo!). Tomorrow I head off to Tejas with some bandies. Really, it's the best of both worlds. I go to sunnier climates, get to stay at home and eat for free, and my friends come with me to entertain me. Booya. We're going to go to Galveston for a day, visit San Antonio, go to NASA, and, most importantly, go to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo!! My first time to go was in high school, and I had a fantastic time, and I haven't been back since senior year of high school when I saw that man-hunk Enrique Iglesias... what an apropos singer for the Rodeo, right? So I'm pumped for that.

Also, today, I saw George W. Bush speak in the JACC! I entered the student ticket lottery, and apparantly out of 1,500 students who entered, I got one of 100 winning tickets! Jenna and I went this afternoon, and after a unnecessarily long security line, we headed up to the bleachers. It was awesome. Georgie is quite the charmer, and it's pretty funny just to hear him go off on tangents because he doesn't have to worry about reelection anymore, so he just says whatever the hell he wants. Outside the JACC, across the street, was a pretty big group of protestors, which included Katie and Emily. I waved at Katie as we came out... I don't think she was too pleased by it. One old guy coming out yelled "Get a job!!" at them, and I cracked up. Because, old angry people are funny.
