Well, I had a fun day + a few hours at Ray’s house. It�s good to get away and meet some new people. He’s got a big family (8 people including parents). They’re all pretty cool. His sister Rachel is gonna come to school here next year. Now I’ve got a bit of homework to do for tomorrow. I leave you with some�

Highlights
- winning two foosball games
- Vanilla Coke
- three hour nap
- church was good
- decorating Easter Eggs
- a highway chase to catch Ray’s mom and get back his wallet ’cause she was trying to catch us and got ahead ’cause we circled the block to go back and get it

Update: Fixed embarassing typo noticed by Tracy. (Thanks :-)

So I woke up today. I wake up at some point just about every day. If I didn’t then I wouldn’t be around to post. Or else in a coma. But anyway, back to my day.

Had lunch over at Applebee’s cause Seth D. is in town for Spring Break. Strawberry Lemonade is good (Thanks, Double-J).

… whoops, I’ve got to go soon. peace out, and I’ll finish the post later.

Update: Okay, to finish off the post. After eating Applebee’s, Matt, JJ, and I came back to the dorm. To summarize the next hour and a half or so, we met up with Matt’s bro Doug and Doug’s girlfriend and went over to Anna’s apartment for scones. In Justin’s words, it was a “comedy of errors.” To start with, we were late. Matt had called them to check on something, but they didn’t answer. We waited for a while and decided to go anyway. “Maybe their phone is just not working or something,” I commented. We got there, and apparently their phone was unplugged. All sorts of other interesting errors (iced tea, but no ice… … a couple botched batches of scones… Doug’s burnt finger… yada yada) showed up, too. On the drive back, Matt, Justin, and I all had a good laugh. The scones ended up being good, the tea was fab(ulous), and the company was swell.

At night Phil, Cora, and I went to Omaha and saw “From Dust” perform at a coffee shop as part of a Student Venture event. Phil and Matt know some of the members of From Dust and I know another guy named Weasel who hangs out with that crowd, so it was a good time.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned today, it’s not to trust a margarita. “I’ll just have one with dinner since I can.” Well… it was a Blue Pacific margarita, and I was kinda shocked when it came out. It was half as big as my head. (Ok, perhaps that’s an exaggeration.) In any case, the waiter kinda scared me when he said “Jeez dude, you drank that like a fish. There were four shots in it.” So, in summary, I’m not going to drink alcohol for a while. There’s a lot better ways to spend my life then tipsy off of a stinkin’ margarita.

I had a good time hanging out with Mark and his Jen up in Omaha again today. We had dinner at Chili’s, went to a mall, hung out at Border’s for a while, and shortly after that I came back home. With the hour drive both ways, I’m worn out. Time to study Japanese for a bit and then sleepy time for me.

In other news
Cora got an RA job here in the same dorm I’m in this year. Woohoo! I’m not sure about Jake or anybody else I know who applied, but I’ll probably find out what happened tomorrow. Latez!
