This weekend has been really great. Friday was Rocktoberfest. I had work untill 5 so I missed the first band, Ill Scarlett. I heard they were really good but I saw the Plain White T’s and that’s all I cared about. I actually really don’t care for concerts. Live music doesnt do anything special for me. I hate when you’re supposed to clap along or when the band stops so the audience can sing. I really hate when other people are singing along and you can’t hear the band. Which is funny, because that doesnt bother me with CDs or anything. If I’m driving I sing along and I certainly encourage anyone else to as well. But when its live I don’t like it. That’s interesting.  Anyway, at one point during Hey There Delilah, the band stops so the crowd can sing along. But instead everyone starts clapping becuase they thought the song was done. The band just looked at each other like oh man these people are stupid. I felt so bad for the band, and seriously…. if you don’t even know the words to Hey There Delilah, why are you at the concert?!

Later Friday night I went to see The Bourn Ultimatum. It was good. But I also hate when audiences try to interact with the movie and they cheer and clap and worry someone will die. Haha, I didnt intend to complain this much.

Yesterday I gave one of the best tours everl. It was only one family so I was able to tailor it to the girl’s interests. And luckily she was interested in elementary education and theater so I could talk alot about things. Then I came back and hung out with Britney in the lobby while everyone came to look at the rooms. Then I hung out with Ellie and Amy and Paige. We danced. Me and Amy tried to shimmy…. and we looked rediculous.

I went to dinner with Michelle and her family. We went to TGIFridays. I usually get the Jack Daniel’s Chicken Strips because I love them so much. But instead I tried the Dragonfire chicken and it was amazing! It was a bit more spicy than I expected but very very good. Then we had these donut things for dessert that were very very good.

Then we went back to the dorm and played board games with Michelle’s little sister. We played Cadoo… which I’ve very played. Its like cranium tic tac toe. Then we played Trouble and then I got some other people so we could play MadGab. Then we played Scattagories which is my favorite game ever!

We went to see the 5th Harry Potter movie after that. I was very dissapointed. I really don’t have any complements for it. They cut so much out and I felt like the only reason I understood the movie was because I had read the books. Oh well.

Today will be homework, homework, more homework, the wash guides picnic, and then I’m on duty. Fabulous.

One of my pet peeves on campus is chalk. I think part of this stems from my absolute hatred for the substance. Chalk has always given me the chills. Even thinking about it sends shivers down my spine. And yes, I realize that as a prospective teacher this is something I should definitely get over(or find a school with whiteboards!).

But when clubs cover the entire campus with chalk advertisements for their event I get so angry. I really consider it graffiti covering up my beautiful campus. They write on the brick walls under the covered walkway where it will never get washed off unless someone consciously goes to clean it.  Also I dont understand why all fliers must be approved by student activities but you can write whatever you want in chalk. I feel like if you advertise without student activities approval your club should be suspended from events for a month. I work in student activities… so maybe I’m on a power trip, who knows?

The only chalk on campus walk I have ever enjoyed was when the geography club wrote different places along the edge of the walk to scale with how far they were from Fredericksburg.

The internet has been down in my dorm for over 24 hours. That is rediculous. I know one person who  has a working internet. And strangely enough, it works for her but not her roommate. They really need to fix the network. It would be great if I could get online when I need to.

I finally got my practicum assignment and I can’t wait to start. I’m in the same school I was in last year. I loved the school. Its very small. I have a fourth grade class. I’ve had 2nd and 3rd so this should be interesting to see students who are little bit older.  I hope my teacher is nice.
