Day 13: Eddie

Ever since I met Kevin (Shelby's best friend from high school, who is gay) and I saw the amazing friendship that they have, I've wanted a gay best friend. I'm not even joking. Well, ask and ye shall receive because Eddie has become one of my best friends (and yes, he's gay-if you didn't pick up on that.) He knows how to make me smile even when I'm having a terrible day. He's also really good at telling me how it is, or if my outfit doesn't look okay. I love it. We met last year and it's flourished into something awesome :)

Oh, Thursday. I had a paper due tonight, so I powered through it before noon. Go me! I had lunch with Lucas and then went to work for the afternoon (last day until the fall!)  After work Katlyne and I had supper and then walked with Jonathan, his friend Shelby, Eddie, and Courtney to Wynne's apartment for a French class get together. Who else showed up? Tatiana! (Grad student who taught our French class last semester) It was such a fun night! Here's just one photo from the night:

Sooooo...nothing else about this day mattered. Why? Because I GOT VICE PRESIDENT OF CAC! Yep, I am co-vp for next year. SO. EXCITED. :)

My picture is of Eddie...giving me the best hug ever. What a cutie. :)

Happy birthday to my best friend, Mollie :)
I am so behind.
Ok so it was a busy day...ish. Luckily Zac texted me at 7:30 or I would not have been awake in time for my class. Apparently my body did not want to wake up to my alarm. Anyway, I had lunch with Morgan, Danielle, Katlyne, and Jen. In French, we convinced Holi (whom none of us really like) to hold class in Seerley because students are having a study vigil as a silent protest to the changes happening here at UNI (Seerley is where Ben Allen's office is). We got there and talked a little about the assignment due Thursday. Apparently she had a big grad student test to study for, so someone said, "We can just study here on our own if you want to go study for your test." She said, "Are you sure?" Of course we all agreed. "yeah, yeah! Go ahead!"  so she left. and so did half of our class, haha. I stayed, however, because I had a class after so I had no reason to leave. Olivia made a sign to set up by us:

"We appreciate the value of foreign languages" 

There's a talk about cutting the French program which is REALLY frustrating, but I won't go into that. 

After my 2:00 class I met in the library with Eddie and Courtney to work on the listening part of our French workbook together. We do it together because it's really difficult and she grades really hard. When we finished with that Tiffany, Katlyne and I went on a walk around campus, where I found my new friend...

I skipped choir practice at St. Stephen's and instead went to Coldstone with Katlyne and Tiffany because it was our CAC fundraiser there. No word on how much we made, but the ice cream was delicious. I went to bed early because I was so exhausted.

Happy Valentine's Day!! I had no ambition to get out of bed this morning, so I was ALMOST late for my 8am class. Almost. :)  After my first 2 classes I had lunch with Katlyne, Danielle, Morgan, and Jen. Then I got my Valentine from  Danielle:

A cupcake from Scratch! (SO GOOD)

I took some Valentines for the people in my French class (no candy though). When I gave one to my friend Eddie, he gave me one back: :)

After class we went to Ben Allen's office so Katlyne could deliver her valentine to him (she lost a bet with Danielle). There was a line of students waiting to see him so we gave the valentine to his secretary. Katlyne and I ate some pizza rolls while watching Ellen, and then we headed to the Union for Volunteer Tuesdays. We got a free t-shirt (like I need another one of those) and we spent 2 1/2 hours making tie blankets to donate to the Storks' Nest. Katlyne and I cranked out 4 tie blankets in the time we were there. When we returned we sat in the lounge for a while doing homework. Abbey and Danielle joined us in there. I finally headed to bed around 11:30. Just another photo: my best friend Katlyne :)
