the last 3 days.. post 1

Hello fellow bloggers and readers!

First thing to post about: free T-Pain concert on thursday.

Alright! So! This week was beat state week and there's an event called hawkapalooza that has a free concert and ultimate tailgating and such. I didn't go to the tailgate because I had class but I heard it was SUPER lame so I'm glad I didn't go. I did, however, attend the concert! This year they had t-pain, a rapper. It was a pretty good concert but it was REALLY short. It seriously lasted an hour. It was odd! But I went with a few new people so that's always fun! I will definitely be hanging out with them more because they are hilarious! I didn't get a lot of good pics because I had my phone because I didn't wanna worry about taking my camera.. but this is the best I got..

The last picture shows how close I was to him.. we were quite close! It was awesome!

Even Herky got to go on stage when he sang "Black and Yellow"- it was funny to watch him dance!

last weekend

Last weekend I visited my friends that live in Washington, IA about 40 minutes from campus and I had a BLAST! It was SO MUCH FUN! I left my dorm about 6:00 Saturday night and went to her house to find a nice home cooked meal of tacos, my favorite! :) After dinner, we kind of just hung out until one of Keri's friends, Carly, came over! She was so nice and hilarious we had a blast! I got an official tour of Washington, we ate ice cream where Keri works, rented Bridesmaids, and just sat around and talked.

On Sunday, Keri and I went and visited the Coralville mall and shopped, one of my favorite activities! I spent money, not lots, though, because I am a poor college student! We got back around 3:30 and I can't really remember what we did until we ate supper. Oops! After supper, a bunch of Keri's friends came over and we deeded to go play some harmless tricks on their youth leader's car!  It was a blast. I loved meeting her friends and actually met one that goes to the UofI! so we are becoming friends and are actually hanging out tomorrow night (more details to come)

Monday, Keri's church's youth group was painting their youth room so I helped out and did that, too. It was fun to hangout with her friends and paint and meet new people! They're room looks really good! After that it was time to go home, that was the worst part of the trip. But, it was good to be back and see Megan.

I didn't miss the heat though! WOW! It's been so hot!

This week is a big week in hawkeye country.. T-Pain is coming to do a concert in honor of Hawkapooloza and President Obama is going to speak on Friday! Both are free events! wooooo! I'm so pumped! Also, it's the big ISU/Iowa game this weekend! It's my first football game and it's the big rivalry! How exciting! 

A New Room

2nd week wrap-up

The second week of classes has officially come to a close! I'm really starting to like my classes except for my philosophy class- its so boring. The instructor talks about all these big words that my friends and I don't know! It's not a fun time.

Tonight, Megan and I decided we were going to do a little decorating! It was so much fun and it looks so different! I will post pics at a later date. We are actually going to be entering a contest to win some hawk dollars so check back on how to help us out so we can win! Also tonight, we went to get some cold stone ice cream to finish celebrating her birthday. It was yummy! We explored a little to find the post office first, which was found, and we found a bunch of houses and apartments- much different than the dorms and buildings we see everyday. So that was kind of cool to see. We saw many, many sketchy people in our adventure. A few homeless, a few highly intoxicated, a few high, and a few that were just plain ole weird. We still had fun though! We finished the night by watching pretty little liars, my favorite show! Megan is really starting to get hooked! :)

Tomorrow I am actually going to leave campus and going to visit our friends the Murphys for the weekend! I'm super pumped! :) we are going to go shopping and I heard they are feeding me really well when I am there! I am so grateful to get away for a little bit! I'll post monday or tuesday about all the fun :)

Have a great weekend!

a little more decorating.
