QUIRKS AND MEMORIES:

In my lifetime, I've met ONE person (Jon S) who eats Oreos the same way I do... now, I've also met ONE person on the planet (Mandy) who eats M&M's the same way I do! I am not alone!!!

Learning to crochet.

Teaching Gwen and Mandy to play Mau. :-D

Decorating the door for Christmas with my roommies. :)

Midnight Breakfast

Brick-hard french toast sticks, Andrew, and blue liquid... enough said

Spending a night in Shupe 108 and getting Abby to talk after she said she wouldn't :)

The weekly meetings of the Fried Banana Society.

Playing outside with Abby on 4-7-04 and ending up by the reflection pond and seeing Erin H kind of halfway fall in.

Dressing up with Erin (Larry) and Abby (Curly) as the Three Stooges for Midnight Breakfast second semester

PUDDLE-STOMPING with Keith, Caleb, Mike, Tiffany, and Erin, followed by Caleb's home-made hot cocoa... :)

Annoying Jen by IMing her from across the room. :-D

Abby, me and Erin with powdered sugar on our faces on the best Fried Banana Monday ever!!

IMPORTANT LESSONS AND LIFE SKILLS LEARNED:

How to survive on 3 hours of sleep per night for a week.

How to write 6 pages of a research paper in under 2 hours.

Always look any make sure the toilet paper is there BEFORE you need it.

How to get the most out of my $1.75 when I do laundry.

How to look like I'm paying attention when I'm really writing to Luke. :) (relax, Mom, I only did that in Orientation... and Sociology... and sometimes Spanish...)

It is possible to roll out of bed 4 minutes before you have to be in class still get there before it actually starts.

Cork board does not like sticking to walls.

Grapefruit juice and toothpaste DO NOT go well together.

Having flour all over your face for about 10 minutes, then washing it off with warm water makes your skin feel really good.

Command adhesive strips really sting if you're not careful and they snap against your finger.

Me with Erin at Midnight Breakfast first semester :-D

Me, Jen, and Mandy unwind after a long day with fat free cookies and cream ice cream. :)

MaryAnn, Mandy and I took Fall pictures by the pond. We're so cute! :)

(Later I got into a leaf-throwing fight with Dave and some friends that was probably the most fun I'd had doing so since I was about 10 years old. I'll never forget it!)
