Yikers!

. . . Welp, as it turns out, I'm far far overdue for an update. I just went through and read friends blogs, and realized that even those that hardly ever update, have updated at least once. So, as not to dissapoint my loyal followers, I shall now tell you what has been going on in my life.
. . . Fox Day has come and gone. It turned out to be on April 11. Most of Rollins ended up going to the beach since the school provides busses from campus to Cocoa. I on the other hand, stayed home and played with the dog. I'd like to say that I did some studying or something productive like that, but I really didn't. Oh well. Fox Day is designed to be a day of rest and that's what it ended up being. I'm glad I didn't go to the beach that day. It would have been crowded with a lot of drunk college kids. Not exactly my cup of tea if you know what I mean.
. . . We got a DVD recorder. Of course, cause we're cheap, we got the cheap one. Well, as it turns out, it's a total piece of crap!!! You know that phrase you get what you pay for?? Totally TOTALLY true. Shoulda thought about that before hand. It hasn't recorded a single thing since we got it and it's not like I haven't been trying. Not to mention it freezes up and then the only thing you can do is unplug the damn thing for awhile and then plug it back in and pray. Blech.
. . . Took Mimi to the dog park for the first time yesterday. She had a BLAST!! It's a huge park out in Winter Park that I had never even heard of. A friend from school takes her dog there every weekend and we went to meet up with her. Anyway, it sits on a lake so the dogs can swim and run in the water. At first, she just ran and ran and ran. Didn't care if there was anyone to play with or anything. Just running around being crazy. Then she realized that there was water. Now, Mimi had never seen a large body of water. She's never even gone swimming or had more encounters with water than a bath. But she sure did jump right in like she goes swimming every day! She swam and played with other dogs and chased things, and swam more. Needless to say, she got home and PASSED OUT!! She even let me sleep in a little today.
. . . Only two more days of classes!! Woo Hoo!!! Have a few last minute assignments to finish up for Monday and Tuesday. Then we have a reading day, and finals start on Thursday. I have an inclass on Friday morning and then one due on the following Monday, and one due on Tuesday. But for me, they're both due on Monday. Why you ask?? Because that afternoon, I shall be boarding a plane and heading for VEGAS!!!!
. . . Again, as it turns out that my dad will be in Vegas just as the semester is getting out. What a great way to blow off end of the semester steam!!
. . . Well, that's about it. Even when there is a big gap between posts, my life isn't all that interesting. How sad. Oh well. Till next time!

Fox Day Where Are You???

. . . There is a long standing tradition at Rollins called Fox Day. Each year during the spring semester, there is one special day where the president of the college puts a fox statue on Mills Lawn under the flag pole. The emergence of the fox means that all classes are cancelled for the day and students go to the beach. In the afternoon, faculty, staff, students, and family can gather on Mills Lawn for a BBQ. Every student at Rollins waits with baited breath for this day. Here's the catch though. No one knows when the fox will appear. It's on a different day each spring semester and the only one who knows what day that will be is President Duncan. There are a few clues as to when the fox will appear, such as since it's a traditional beach day, it's usually on a day predicted to be sunny, and that it's always after spring break. Also, most of the time, it's on a day that there are no seminars or presentations. Now, the Fox Day tradition has created a little game I like to call, "Today is Not Fox Day". This involves guessing, speculating, hoping, whatever you want to call it, about when Fox Day will be. So far, I've heard that it was going to be on Monday, April 3. Just for the record, that day was NOT Fox Day. Then the next speculation was that it was going to be Thursday, April 6. Again, this day was NOT Fox Day. So the game continues until Fox Day actually happens. I've given up on speculating. I've ceased to care on what day of the week Fox Day falls on. As long as it comes soon, I will be grateful.
. . . I need hours at work. I wasn't scheduled at all for this coming week. I picked up one day, but there were no other holes. How sad.
. . . So I've been on this candy kick lately. I don't really eat all of it, but I see it, and I think it looks good, so I have to get it. Anyway, I had a suggestion that I should try Reeces Pieces eggs. Apparently there like the normal ones, but in an egg shape and pastel so they're pretty. Little did I know, there are also Hershey chocolate eggs. They look exactly the same, but have regular chocolate in them instead of the peanut butter. Well, since everyone enjoys a surprise now and again, we combined both of them in one bowl so you never quite know what you're going to get. We did the same thing with the mint and regular mnm's during Christmas. It's a fun game. Note to self though, always ask what's in the bowl before digging in to our candy bowl, cause if you're allergic to something, it would be a good idea to find out if we've combined things.
. . . That's pretty much all that's been going on in my life. I know. I'm boring. The most exciting news is that I found fun candy. I swear I'm not 300 pounds. Till next time!

Peeps

. . . So I got a comment on my last post about peeps. If you haven't read it, you should. Anyway, I decided to write this in response to that comment. Krash has a theory that you can't just eat one peep. If you start eating them, you have to eat the whole row and that it bothers her when you can see the white from the marshmallow poking through. I think I'd have to agree with her. They're made as a set. It's like they're a group and you have to eat them together. They have to be with their friends. Or maybe that's just my excuse to eat all four of them at once. Whatever works. I will say this though. I enjoy the bunnies the best. I'm not picky about the color, but the bunnies are just the easiest to eat. There's an even distribution between the marshmallow and the sugar. Yup. That's it.
. . . That's pretty much all I have to say for tonight. It hasn't been all that interesting of a week. Randomness over.
