AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

ON FIRE!!

YEA REDHAWKS!

We won our home meet! The swim team took first on Friday night--it was SO cool! I went to it and of course, as I knew I would, ended up really missing swim. I missed the cheers, I missed screaming at the end of the lane, I missed that nervous sinking feeling on the block. . . ::sigh:: ANyhoo, it was Rob's first swim meet EVER and it was really exciting, even though it was a distance meet (the mile! JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZUS). Anyhoo, Zach's mum and grandparents took us out to the Roadhouse afterwards and that was taaaaaaaasty. Those cheese curds are DELICIOUS. Saturday I slept in a bit, and then Robyn and I had lunch with Patrick and Zach. We then drove to Milwaukee.

After much chaos, we got seats to see the closing night of The Nerd at my high school. My sister was in it and so were a bunch of my friends from high school--it was hilarious. Loved the show.

My friend Julie was there as well, and I really really wanted to hang out with her. . . but things didn't work out! We were in Milwaukee not just for me but also for Robyn. After the show Liz dropped us off at my house and we grabbed the car to go down town to meet Robyn's high school chum Cameron. We ended up seeing the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Oriental theatre--SO MUCH FUN! OH MY GOD. I've seen the movie, and last year we did our own version of it at my high school's theatre Halloween party--but this was great. WONDERFUL fun. I'm so going again.

Anyway, we got out REALLY late. We had to walk back to UWM's campus around 2, 2.30 in the morning because the buses stop running at 2. Drove back to Tosa and we then went to Johnny V's. Probably got home around 3.30, 4. Surprisingly, I was up and perky around 9.30 in the morning. Had coffee, chatted away with my mum and dad. Got a fire going in the living room. The sleepy heads FINALLY got up and we went to about an hour and a half of the football game at my aunt and uncle's house. They finally finished their renovations to the basement--it's gorgeous.

GO, PACK, GO!!! I LOVE THE PACKERS SO MUCH. 34-0 over the evil VIKINGS?! LOOOVE IT. It was grand.

I was glad to get back to Ripon, however. We all had a bunch of homework to do. Zach and I went to part of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra concert in the gym in Storzer. It was absolutely beautiful. I haven't listened to orchestra music in quite awhile--and this was stunning. AND free--thank you perks of being a Ripon College student--YESSSSSsssss.

Today's been relatively normal. I did get out of FYS early, however, which was preferable. We brainstormed about our topics for our final project with our groups. I don't want to carry the whole group. . .but I think I'm going to end up doing that. . . ::grumble:: Tonight--buckle down and work hard on more papers! Woot woot!

Well, I'm gonna head off. No class tomorrow! Carpe diem! Seize the carp!
