In which there are two miracles and I sing in front of people and WE WIN!

Hey

Dr. Wilson always wants us to say "hey" in response to her "hey" when she walks into the room. And she made reference to my morning glory eyes AGAIN . . . I'm pretty sure Nick was looking at me like I was crazy when she said that a line of poetry she had read was like "the morning glory eyes line." Oh my goodness . . . I think it's going to be a LONG semester.

Miracle Number One
Tara asked me to take her to Bremer bank yesterday. She asked me at 10:05 and she said that she needed to be back by 10:55. I told her to try to find someone else and meanwhile, I would take a shower and if she didn't find anyone, I'd take her. We left at 10:39. We got to my car and climbed in and I said "Tara, you're going to have to tell me where to go. I don't know where the bank is." She said, "I don't know where it is . . . " So we drove around. I was going to go toward downtown but at the last minute, I decided to go the other direction, and like 23 seconds later, we found the bank. We got back to campus only one minute after she said that we needed to be back.

Miracle Number Two
I needed my birth certificate. I had to have it absolutely no later than Monday. I asked Mom to send it to me on Thursday and she sent it that evening. I was so worried it wouldn't get here and called all over the place trying to see if I could have the post office look for it and I left messages at Commons for them to call me the minute it got there. It turned out that it got there yesterday, less than 24 hours after Mom sent it. Yay! :-) God was in that one!

We went to the Vine (in Sioux Falls) last night. It was awesome. Wow! I went with Lisa and Nikki K. We had so much fun. We went to the Firehouse after it was done and they had karaoke. Nikki and Lisa and I and some others sang "I can only Imagine." It was really cool. Our entire group was the last song. We did "Days of Elijah" and everyone was dancing and Alyssa and I were the singers. It was pretty cool and I wasn't nervous at all. Yay!

I had bonding time with my Nikki K. and Lisa. It was so awesome. I've never had friends like them. The third miracle is that we managed to get back in one piece even though we were all sleep-deprived, we had been exposed to every bacterial infection imaginable ('cept, we weren't exposed to some of them because we're nice girls and nice girls don't put themselves in situations where they're exposed to those bacteria.), and I got us incredibly lost.

You know you're in college when . . . the influenza virus, mono, walking pneumonia, strep and bronchitus haunt the hallowed halls of your fine institute of learning. In other words, when your school becomes a hospital.

Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! Eeee! WE WIN!!!!! It was so, so fun! Oh my goodness! It was the most exciting game ever! It was Hawaiian Night and everyone was really drunk except for a very few of us. Nikki K. and I sat at the top of the bleachers because we didn't want to risk being vomited on. Oh my -- Athletic Math Boy was sick but he played anyway, and I think that almost everyone on the team was sick because they switched people around like ALL the time. The wildcats stink. They were really tough. Wow -- we would have won but the other team scored in the last few seconds and tied the game up and we went into overtime. We won, 97-95. It was really funny cuz the other team called two full time outs in a row when there was only 2.5 seconds left in the game. Then we called a full time out before they started the clock again. It was really sad. But we won! Eeee! :-) Yay! Yay for Athletic Math Boy. And Tall Boy. And everyone else! Yay!
