a good hump day

so i didn't have school on wednesday as it was student creative and acheivement day (or something like that...i don't think anyone really knows that EXACT name of that day). i was all pumped for wednesday as i took off work, i didn't have school and i planned a day of relaxation, homework and hanging out with friends. on tuesday night, we had a habifam get together in square's room to watch joyride...which was probably one of the most horrible movies i have ever seen. the best part of the whole movie? while the kids were in wyoming (where sara is from) they stop at a bar and one of the dude's at the bar nicknames the girl in the movie peaches, which is sara's nickname...how ironic! we all burst out laughing. the candy can and rusty nail lines were also good laughs and brought back memories of trucker lingo and walky talkies on the trip. we were all up till 2, 3 something in the morning. then i was up with the birds on wednesday morning as i had to attend the keynote speakers address at the conference listed above for the reason we didn't have classes. i was getting extra credit for attending and writing a paper on the address so of course i was going as it was going toward my honors class. sat through that...not the most interesting of subjects for me, i thought. then i was off to the newman to meet up with more habifam to go in search of easter eggs so that we could win some cash for habitat. little did we know and soon find out that they postponed the hunt for today! i think nate is still fuming from actually having to go easter egg hunting (so unmanly) and not finding anything. he absolutly refused to go today...i think somewhere deep inside he still wanted to go! then the 4 of us who went hunting sat outside and talked for a little while since it was so nice out. at 11 square and i went to tessa's presentation on making the campus "green" friendly. it was very good! then i went and dropped some stuff of (including square) and ran over to rapheal's bakery to meet dave kloha, who is the president of the swim club i'm going to start coaching for. we talked about all things swimming and about the club and my background. it was good to find out what is actually going on and to offer my knowledge to him and the club. after wards i meet up with square again for my second lunch...she was hungry and i told her i would go with...plus i was procrastinating my homework! i ate lots of potatoe oles and we had a good talk...i love talking with you square! then i brought her home, went back to my place, did some graphic design homework for 45 min. and then packed up my swim bag as i was going to go meet the swim team and then head to the rec to practice. i meet the coaches and the kids and i actually got in the water to swim with them! it's been awhile since i swam with anyone so i quickly wore myself out, getting cramps and knotts all up and down my legs...it hurt so much and it still does when i point and flex my toes. i had a good time getting to know the coaches and we had a lot of fun talking. i had overheard one of the coaches, however, saying that she was a little concerned that she didn't know that the board was interested in hiring me, and that concerns me a little too. o well. i also discovered that i didn't realize how much i had grown up...spending time with sophomores in high school will do that to you! all there "it was like"s and the subject of there talking is what will do you in! but i had a fun time getting to know the girls (no boys at this practice). afterwards i went home and got some homework done and the stuff for my critique ready, showed katie's friend the house and then i was off to my critique. i had a very good review there and found out i was getting an A in graphic design! i thought i had a B! yay for me! i think she likes my work though as i have the skill of typography and you don't see that from too many people. then i came home dropped my stuff off, picked up nate and we were off to grab the habifam for our weekly perkins run...it's not so much a pie run anymore...we all pretty much order supper. nate decided he was going to make me mad as we drove to perkins by trying to make me feel the shame since myk and his "yoda" beat me to perkins...i told him that i wasn't about to get a $85 speeding ticket and that if i did, he can pay it. then i cranked up my music really loud and tuned him out. of course i can never be mad at anyone for more than a min. so eventually we were back to our usual banter. but good times and interesting events enveloped us for the rest of the night as peaches but together a math problem so enourmous...just trying to figure out who owed what on her and ddogs trip with some friends to winnepeg...quite interesting. afterwards we dropped everyone off and then i dropped off nate and i was back to homework, dishes and packing to go home...till 2 am. then i turned in for the night since i couldn't keep my eyes open. honors will get done this weekend! i swear kt! but for my sanity and wellness, i needed some sleep. but now i am off to my dreadful honors class...which i get to leave early from! i'm leaving halfway through to pack up, pick up deidra and head on home for alli's first communion. can't wait to be home...i'm soooo sleeping in tomorrow! you have no idea how excited i am! o well...happy maundy thursday and good friday (if i don't blog tomorrow) to you all...i'm sure i'll blog by easter though...if not...happy easter to you!
