Hurricane Party!

Yesterday was a nice day of break after my first full week of classes. I woke up around 10 AM and got ready for my day. I met my friend Savon for "brunch" at Founder's Food Court on North Campus. I say "brunch" because that's what we intended it to be, but the food court didn't open until noon, so I considered it lunch. I had some yummy sushi (California Roll of course)! My friends Gian and Justin met us there for lunch and we ended up watching videos on Youtube for a while after lunch... Good times! After lunch we walked around outside and it was so beautiful! The winds from Irene were blowing and it was wonderful. That was pretty much the first time all week that I wasn't dying because it was so hot. I think God planned my relief from classes and my relief from the hot weather to be at the same time! :) I got back to my room and just spent some time with my roommate Mary for a couple hours. We made hot chocolate!
At around 4:00 we started getting ready for the Block Party. Mary put on some techno music and we had a little dance party. It was great! While waiting for our RA Shelanne to return, we took lots of pictures with each other. It was raining so we grabbed our hoodies and umbrellas! There was no way a little rain was going to ruin my party! We walked to North Campus in the misty rain and when we got to the party there was practically no one there! I got my free Domino's t-shirt and my free draw-string bag for Student Activities (it has lots of coupons in it! YES!). It started to pour so we all huddled under a big tent for a little until I decided that I really didn't care if I got wet. After a while, the rain stopped and the sky started to clear up. There was a breeze and I just couldn't get enough. God is such an amazing guy!
The night consisted of a lot of walking around, talking to people from my dorm and my brother dorm, going inside the Student Union and beating Mary at basketball (BIG TIME!), watching people break dance, buying a bracelet to support Invisible Children, winning a full size candy bar for sucking at a bean bag game (now that's what I call a prize!), and listening to music. The music was provided by Andy Davis (he was okay, but he sang a lot of love songs... WAY TO RUB IT IN!), Dave Barnes (who also sang a lot of love songs.. BARF!), and MuteMath. The lead singer of MuteMath lost his voice so there was literally no singing at their concert. At first I thought it was a joke, ya know? MuteMath is mute!!!! HOW FUNNY!!! No. They were serious. We stayed for a little but it kind of sucked, so we started walking back (I walked back barefoot, of course!). On our way through the stadium, the music stopped and the fireworks started so Mary and I watched them from right underneath. :)
Once we got back to our dorm, we decided that we were hungry so we ordered a pizza from Domino's and had it delivered to the dorm. It was tasty! Overall, I had a great day and loved the weather so, so much! Irene didn't ruin my day at all!
