Of bowl burials and edible ears

I had a very entertaining weekend. It was parents' weekend, and my mother cam to visit bringing with her many much needed items such as Burt's Beeswax Chap Stick and duct tape. It was kind of funny that she came, seeing as I am only an hour away. I tried so hard to go to an east coast school, I wanted out of the Midwest and out of Wisconsin. It isn't actually too bad living close to home though. Whenever I get a little too stressed, I can always take the Van Galder home for the weekend and study in my own room. It can be very relaxing.

After my mother left, my friends and I had a funeral for one of my friend's (Ama's) favorite bowls. Heather (another one of my friends) had borrowed the bowl and dropped it while carrying it to be cleaned.

During the funeral there was a bit of drama. Ama publicly accused Heather of killing the bowl, and things got a bit physical.

After the procession, Ama didn't know which recycle to put it in (we have two, one for paper, and one for everything else). She eventually poured the remnants into the garbage can.

After the funeral, we drove down to Cub’s to buy Starburst to make an ear for Ama's sculpture class (we really didn't need to drive, but it was dark and we were really lazy). When we got back to campus I made Ama parallel park for herself (I usually do it for her). The results were….interesting. While we were walking back to the dorm we walked past a frat house whose members were listening to 90's love songs on the porch and singing along! We finally got back to the dorms and the ear was made. It looked really creepy.

Today wasn't very exciting, I did homework for practically the entire day in one of the study group rooms with a bunch of people from my organic chem and/or physics class. I am done with my homework now *phew* and am going to go relaxin my room by watching Eddie Izzard, drinking a blackberry Izze, and listening to the rain in the background.
