Why we have to start a week earlier than everyone else makes no sense, but whatever. As soon as i got back i spend close to 400 bucks on textbooks, which was basically my whole paycheck that i worked for over the break. I guess i just want to get back to classes because things have been really slow around here. Next week i have a retreat with the Catholic daughters, so that should be interesting. retreats suck when its cold, because it always works out that we have to go hiking up a hill in the middle of the night in some remote part of who knows where. And while im going to be in the middle of nowhere... i hope we dont run into wildfires!!! -the holidays are over and it hurts- back to school!!! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:allmansis:11098 2005-11-02T05:04:38Z 2005-11-02T05:04:38Z Did you know: “Don’t send your kids to Baylor,” Tom Delay, majority whip in the House of Representatives, admonished an audience at First Baptist Church in Pearland, Texas, last April 12. His concern was that Baylor did not teach creationism, although he later tried to distance himself from the comments. (It later emerged that, before embarking on his successful career as an insect exterminator, Delay had been expelled from Baylor in 1967 for a series of behavioral infractions.) Haha, he was probably caught dancing on campus, which wasn’t allowed until 1996! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:allmansis:10778 2005-09-28T03:52:58Z 2005-09-28T03:52:58Z I love getting mail, thanks Ebs for the Che Guevara postcard, muy funny. I also received a check for $2 from the laundry service because i called to complain about their dryer that took my $1 and refused to work. maybe i should call customer service more often! The little things make me happy! This week two of my roommates are celebrating their b-days. Since I'm such a nice person i decided to make them a b-day cake, with a little help from my other roommate Amanda. (it didn’t turn out too bad!) So far my roommates are really cool...and in general people here are genuinely nice. Latin Dancing Society is interesting... i had to dance with a guy from Japan the other day, but at least we learned some cool moves. Eliz. I'll have to show you, merengue to the max! <br />ahh these lj cuts never work!<br /><a name="cutid1"></a><br /><br /><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y138/allmansis/Baylor009.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"><br />My beautiful creation<br /><br /><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y138/allmansis/Baylor008.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"><br />Ashton(next door neighbor), Rachel-b-day girl #1, Amanda, Lauren b-day girl #2, me urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:allmansis:10480 2005-09-05T04:37:59Z 2005-09-05T04:37:59Z SLIME NIGHT <br /><br />Baylor traditon, to give the freshman slime caps to identify the themselves back in the 1930's.

The jazz and big band sound was amazing!!! He was funny which was something i would not expect. The first song he sang was "Feelin Good" so after that i could not complain. the impersonasion of michael jackson and maroon 5 was by far the most entertaining. afterward ebony and i decided we would see if he would come out the "back way." of course we werent the only ones with the same idea, but we eventually got him to sign a cd. i'm up in the clouds....<br /><br /><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y138/allmansis/P3263212.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:allmansis:8606 2005-07-28T03:19:33Z 2005-07-28T03:19:33Z I'm back. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:allmansis:8357 2005-07-16T21:26:35Z 2005-07-16T21:26:35Z So far England has treated me very well, except for the smoking part. i think i've inhaled about four packs so far, second hand smoke sucks! oh, and today i went to the largest mall in europe, BLUEWATER. i bought two purses for under 40(pounds). <br /><br />I feel like i have been separated from you guys too long.

After the news yesterday everyone had high spirits because london is going to sponsor the 2012 Olymics. This morning the news that there was bombing in the trains and on a bus was frightening, this has never happened in the UK. they have told everyone to stay where they are but many people are simply walking home.

Like those things dont already exist in high school? our family friend also invited us to attend their daughters wedding in Maui next march! Now all i have to do is convince my mom to fly there, she has a phobia, maybe we need to hire a hypnotist. <br /><br />Graduation was a lot painless then i thought it would be. Next time i see Veeral im going to give her hell about her speech, "parents are always right".

Other than that i had an awesome weekend, which i should have devoted more time to studying, but i figure, you only live once. friday night synergy was cool. afterward gabby, christine, and i went out for tapioca- that was a new experience! Then party at Tatiana's house which involved hide and seek in the middle of the street and later salsa dancing. I'm not sure what happened sat. Sunday morning I joined Gabs and her family at D&B for company dinner thingy, it was cool b/c we got unlimited free games!
