a very busy Saturday

Note: ID cards still work after being put threw the dishwasher. Just thought you should know.

I had quite a busy weekend. On Friday I went to see Rob Paravonian, along with about half of Beloit. He is this amazing comedian (and that is saying something….I usually don’t like American comedians). He is most well known for his "Pachelbel Rant" which can be seen here and has been on Comedy Central etc...

After seeing Rob, my friends and I went to the midnight movie. Every year, student activities rents the Beloit movie theater one night and offers buses to see a midnight movie. This year we could choose from The Bee Movie, or Dan in Real Life. Very few people chose to see The Bee Movie, which might have something to do with the fact that the writers couldn’t come up with a better title then “The Bee Movie”….not a promising sign. Like most of the people there, my friends and I saw “Dan in Real Life”. It was an ok movie. I am a pretty big Steve Carell fan, and it was actually a bit serious, which was nice, but the corny lovey-dovey plot was just way to corny and lovey-dovey for me.

On Saturday I drove to Paoli, WI to pick up clay for ceramics club. Paoli is technically about 60 miles from Beloit, but the ceramics club president and I got really lost both on the way there and on the way back, so it actually took about 5 hours! And then when we got back there was the matter of moving 500 ponds of clay out of my car, down a very steep flight of stairs, and through the space the ceramics club leased.

When I got back to campus I had a soccer practice. as mentioned in a previouse blog, I joined an intramural soccer team because one of my really good friends kept bugging me too. I haven’t played soccer since 6th grade. Oy vey. Needless to say, it was an interesting practice. Half the people were wearing jeans, and we were all really out of shape! Did you know that Beloit Intramural sports have a rule that says you need one girl on the field at all times, but has no similar rule about guys? That is interesting, and I think it should be changed.

On the way out of the gym we saw the karate club flipping people off of their backs. I walked by and watched, and then jokingly asked if they could teach me how to do that. They invited me to join them! I didn’t learn how to flip people over, but I did learn how to sweep a guy off of his feet (literally…still working on the “sweep the guy off of his feet” thing”).

My mom just called, she has made some amazing plans for us for winter break. I cant waite!
