Ok, so. Last weekend I went up to Marquette to do this Presidential Scholarships Competition... Basically NMU takes the smart kids and we go up there for 2 days and do scholarly things. xD It wasn't that bad, I actually enjoyed it (Well, as much as you can enjoy such things) and I got to watch cable TV. 

So at the competition we got to do small group work and solve a murder mystery and decide which 4 of the 9 people we get to save on a plane crash in the ocean... That was interesting. xD And then this morning I had an interview with one of the professors. Of course knowing MY luck the guy was a Calc professor and here's me, with my, "I don't like math..." self. Well, at least he was nice...

I've realized that once someone finds out you're from Chicago they all assume you live downtown, possibly right on the lakefront and are a die-hard Cubs fan (which is like 0/3 for me). It's very strange. It's like, Chicago syndrome where then once they find out you're from chicago you HAVE to talk to them about Chicago, because it's as if everyone KNOWS (/knew) someone who lived/worked/played in Chicago. But that's because Chicago is better than New York. ;D

It was snowing up in Marquette where NMU is... It was pretty but that Saturday when we left I got some weird illness... I think it was just mother nature's gift to me. Things were cured with midol and I think I sweated out my fever that night... That was fun, because I was shivvering to death under 5 blankets and then I woke up to go change into a tanktop and shorts... Oh, mother nature!

And this weekend is MY FREAKING BIRTHDAY. I am going to be 18!!! OH NO, EVERYONE RUN. xD Haha. Also this Saturday I'm going to the Art Institute (they just opened a new wing) and then for Afternoon Tea with my mom. Then Sunday I have to go run out to the Garfield Park Conservatory to work on my Western Civ project, which I haven't worked on though I knew about it since foreverrr. Oh well. xD And then Monday Leah and I might go try to find some belts for her Guinevere outfit. I hope. Maybe. xD
