Today was quite the adventure! Zack and I got to experience Muncie's very own cupcakery right off of campus! We tried a lemon cupcake and a mint cupcake, both absolutely delicious! Perhaps we will be visiting again soon? We were off campus because we wanted to go to the mall, but buses weren't going through campus because of a campus-wide bike race that had roads closed for most of the day. But did that stop us? Of course not! We took a different bus route to the station to make a connecting bus. We got to the mall and back in one piece, and I have to say, it was pretty fun coming up with our own solutions =)

Today, Zack and I decided to be inventive with our dinner. Instead of getting Taco Bell's crispy potato tacos that we both enjoy, we bought the components (or the equivalent of) and made our own. It was an interesting experiment, and I found out that I indeed prefer flour tortillas to corn, but all in all it was a great (and delicious) experience!

Today not only did I have no classes and no practicum work, but I made a lot of strides towards this trip to Paris! I got my papers notarized and in the mail, I turned in my loan requests to get $6000 for tuition and airfare, and I got my course equivalencies done and turned in to register for my BSU summer classes! Now, everything else isn't due until April 15th, so I definitely feel ahead of the game!

Today, the weather was AMAZING! Everything was so vibrant and full of color and glorious! Not a cloud in the sky, green leaves on trees, flower petals blooming AND blowing in the air from the wind...it was perfect because it was in the 70s, which is a bit warm for me, but the wind just made it the perfect weather! Absolutely beautiful!

Today in my FL 396 class, we went into Second Life and found the Ball State University "island". It had certain structures that are on campus, that looked exactly the same! It was...definitely an interesting experience.

Today I received in the mail a Nintendo Classic Controller for the Wii. This basically means that it hooks up to a regular Wii controller and you play with the classic like a Super Nintendo controller. What did this mean for me? It meant that I got to re-live my childhood playing Donkey Kong Country 3, made for Super Nintendo. Lots of nostalgia, but a great time overall.

Today we went to a different residence hall for lunch where instead of the usual I decided to get a salad and put chicken on it. It was something I had tried previously but didn't have enough dressing, but this time it was just about perfect.

March 24th, 2012

For the past week and a half we have been having extremely warm weather. Now, it's not been too hindering because I live in a residence hall with air conditioning, but I still prefer it when it's not too warm out. Last night we had a thunderstorm and to blew the heat wave away, so today was the first day that the weather was 60 degrees, perfectly normal end of March/start of spring weather. It felt amazing outside =)

Today I tried churros and enchiladas today. I don't have much experience with Mexican food because it was not something my parents would actively go out to dinner for. However, Zack and I went to a Latino Dinner Theater and they had those two dishes there, and I have to say, I enjoyed them both! It was definitely a pleasant experience =)

I made a tentative schedule for my last semester on campus today. We have a new system being implemented for us to get courses, and it is extremely intimidating, especially being a senior and needing priority for some of my classes. I *think* I've figured it out and have created a schedule that I'm pretty sure I could live with. Here's hoping it works out!

Today Zack and I went to Scotty's Brewhouse for their 1/2 off appetizers. That's all we got: Drinks (necessary for the deal) and two things of their house special: Fried Dill Chips. Literally the best invention ever, definitely made my night a thousand times better =)

March 20th, 2012

Today I had my favorite lunch: Sbarro's Cheese Pizza with Caliente's Chips Salsa and Queso. This is a tradition that my boyfriend and I started a couple of months ago and it's always a nice treat whenever I have it.

Today since it was so warm out I treated myself to a White Mocha Frapp with Peppermint syrup from Starbucks. It was delightful =)

Today, I was able to download a song that my high school show choir performed two years ago. It is definitely one of my favorite songs they have performed, and I had previously looked on iTunes, to no prevail, and the only copy on YouTube is what the show choir did at a competition, so there's feedback and audience/background noises in that copy. But, I was able to find the sheet music and on the same site it had an audio copy as well! Day = Made
