Week 2 - moderate success

Blogging is hard to keep up with such a busy life - Midd is beginning to kick me in the face already. But life is good.

My birthday was last Monday. I wasn't really planning on doing much of anything besides my Complex Analysis homework set, but Kelly Bennion and J. Brent Allen (the new hot couple, hot as in fashionable and not sexy) planned a surprise dinner for me which ended up being at Mr. Ups. Sunday night, however, Alethea Gross ruined the surprise by mentioning to me that Kelly had emailed a bunch of people for dinner for Monday, which at the time I forgot was my birthday. It was fun; I had a Cajun-spice rubbed steak and some sweet appetizers. Kelly also baked a fun-fetti cake, dyed her own frosting, and drew California on the cake with it. I think it said something like "Have a HELLA good Birthday!" It was pretty tasty and also pretty thoughtful. Hopefully pictures are forthcoming, but Kelly took them all so I don't have them.

Some of you guys didn't know what softsoap was. It's a nice-smelling brand of hand soap. The one I'm using looks like this:
Life at Midd is picking up nicely/quickly. I got my phone back; it has the same number as before, so you don't have to worry about entering it again on your phones. It is a little too smart for me. I got a BlackBerry Curve with the data plan, so now all my email also forwards to my phone and I can browse the web on it too. Pretty crazy. Also, I got a text plan, so you can text me (but don't go crazy, I've got a 200 text limit).

IVCF has picked up again too. Lots of cool new freshmen have been around at Bible Studies, the Source, and Prayz. Lots of pranking possibilities. We had our Freshmen retreat last weekend, which was a lot of fun. It involved a photo scavenger hunt, capture the flag that the upperclassmen lost terribly to the freshmen in, and general ensuing hilarity. Good deal.

Holler at me guys! I'm glad you can keep up with things happening!
