Sunsets, Hockey, Glitter, and More Hockey =)

Hi Everyone!

So it's been a very, very fun week here at the 'hurst!  As I sit down to start homework and get ready for my week, I realize how little work I've done since Thursday and how although it's been nice, I have a very busy week ahead of me.  But let's get back to remembering the fun past few days... =)

Lake Erie Sunset

On Thursday, my friends and I decided to take advantage of the GORGEOUS weather and we went to Presque Isle.  Luckily, I didn't have too much homework and knew that spending an afternoon with my friends playing beach volleyball and capture the flags would be the better long term decision as opposed to staying home and doing homework/laundry. (Needless to say, I was definitely right).  There's so much to do at Presque Isle and it's definitely a place you need to go to if you're ever in town.  My friends and I decided to stay until sunset and then we went to eat breakfast for dinner-- what a perfect way to end a great day!  Rumor has it that a Lake Erie sunset is one of the best in the world; see for yourself...

On Friday, once my last class ended at 3:20, I volunteered to work at the NCAA Women's Division I Frozen Four through the Ambassador's Club.  This was such a cool event that I will definitely remember, even though our girl's team unfortunately did not make it to the final four.  My job was to check credentials and make sure that people were going to the right place.  The ambassador and I who were doing this happened to be doing this right next to the Wisconsin pep band, so it was really loud, but really cool to be so close to the school spirit!  Wisconsin University played Boston College where Wisconsin won and then later that night, Cornell played Boston University and Boston won.

The Roomies and I

On Saturday, I decided to complete half of my Service Learning for my Religious Persons and Traditions class.  We are required to complete ten hours of community service, but it's really cool because there are so many options, so students really have the ability to tailor that service to their interests.  I love working with children, so on Saturday, I volunteered my afternoon to work at the ExpERIEnce Children's Museum where there happened to be a Princess Party.  I painted nails, did hair, and made necklaces and although it was exhausting, it was a lot of fun but I literally got home and was literally covered in glitter-- good thing I love glitter!  Both of my roommates' parents were also in town, so after I got back, the roommates and I all went to dinner at a restaurant called Pufferbelly's, which is ironically right next to the children's museum that I volunteered at!

It's Official, WE WERE THERE!

On Sunday, my roommate Kylie, her parents and I went to the Frozen Four championship game.  I wasn't sure if I wanted to go because I knew I hadn't done work all week, but I'm so glad I went.  Wisconsin ended up winning and although Ky and I were kind of rooting for BU, we were pretty neutral with the outcome, especially since BU beat Mercyhurst and kept us out of the Frozen Four.  Regardless of who won though, it was a really good time and an excellent excuse to not do homework!

Well as my computer clock turns to 10:59PM and since I have a paper due for my 9:30AM fashion class, I think it's finally time to start work and prepare for a crazy week ahead.  I will be especially tied up with student government elections stuff because I'm trying to get elected as the new MSG secretary.  I find out the results on Friday so I will for sure be blogging about that next week.

Hoping I make it out of this week with some sanity =)
