Reflection time!

Yet another blog post written while at the airport. I laugh at the fact that 2 of my past 3 posts have been written at an airport, but honestly, it kind of makes sense. It’s a really good way to kill time but yet be productive and get a blog post done.

Seeing as it’s Spring Break and the end of A quad, I bet you can predict what this blog post is going to be about… That’s right, a reflection of the past 8 weeks since second semester began. Life goes by so incredibly quickly, so I really enjoy and appreciate taking time to stop and think about the quad and some highlights. So here we go:

- Very first morning back, Amy and I went to Eggletic for breakfast since Saga was still closed

- Over night RA retreat 

- Being reunited with 3South. Have I mentioned that I love my floor? ;)

- Making the decision to switch to elementary education with a Spanish concentration. This was a big decision and there were many factors that pushed me to make this decision. But I’m excited about it. And this means that I’m gonna be on campus next semester!

- Surprise birthday party thrown by Grace and Stine. I honestly have the best friends ever. I never saw it coming. They’re sneaky ;)

- Watching the Seahawks/49ers championship game with Beth, a freshmen on my floor who is a huge 49ers fan…and the Seahawks winning

- Surviving sub zero temperatures. Especially that fire alarm on the -28˚ wind chill night.

- Erika’s (friend from high school) visit

- Local Natives concert with Erika

- Seahawks winning the Superbowl (even though it was a horrible game to watch)

- Valentine’s Day date night with Gwen at Chick-fil-a

- Chick flick night with 3South on Valentine’s Day. Leap Year and cookies and cream ice cream. Yes please.

- 3S/E Pinterest Party/movie night #topfloorbestfloor (even if we did set off the fire alarm at 1:30 in the morning)

- Chick flick night with my fellow 3Southers that didn’t go to Prez Ball (do you sense a theme of that weekend? Chick flicks for dayzz)

- Figuring out housing for next year. This is the first time I’ve actually had to think about who to live with/where I want to live… And I am blessed that it was not stressful at all and that I get to live with 3 of my favorite people.

- My last two loud raids. We raided with Avengers, T4 raided with Twilight (which was actually really good and absolutely hilarious)

- Our short-lived rivalry with 2East. They stole the garden gnome I had as decoration in my lounge towards the beginning of the semester. I found out shortly after, but kept forgetting to steal it back… Plus it weighs like 70 lbs so I didn’t really want to carry it back up to 3South… But we eventually got a ransom note demanding peanut butter and nutella. Long story short, we stole some of their stuff, they returned the gnome, we returned their stuff. My girls were sad it ended so quickly.

- Air Jam. The Smaber RAs (aka Smabe City) performed Blow by Ke$ha. We got 3^rd, nbd. Despite my hate for dancing in public and performing while sick with a nasty cold, I still enjoyed it.

And there you have it. Spring 2014 A quad. And now I’m off to South Dakota for the week to visit my brother. And when I come back, I’ll have my final quad as an RA. I could go into all my feelings about how fast this year has gone and how I don’t want this year to end and how much I’m going to miss ResLife… but I won’t right now. I’m excited for this break, I’m excited to relax and hang with Ben for the last time before he’s married (what?!?!), I’m excited for my last quad and to live it up. LET’S GOOOO!
