Wedding Bonanza!!

So this past weekend was my friend Brooke's bachelorette party. It was really fun. She had a bus pick us up from a mexican restaurant in Columbia, IL, then we hit the road to go to a few bars. We went to Jive and Wail, the dueling piano bar, McGuirks, and Big Daddy's. Brooke was passed out on the way home, so I am confident in saying that she had a good time. Here are some pics.

The Bride!

This a picture from the bus. I was under the impression we would be on a school bus for this thing, so I was pretty impressed when a Grey Hound plowed around the corner.

On the bus, Brooke, Amanda, me, and Mandy

So school is finally calming down a little bit, but the last few weeks are stressful. I have a lot of presentations and testing, but I'm surviving. I did something really stupid the other day that pretty much summed up how my last few weeks have been. We have this student lounge at school that is really just a small office in the department I am getting my degree from. I was sitting in this room (by myself, thank goodness) and I was doing homework. I dropped my pen on the floor to the right so I bent down and picked it up. A few minutes later a drop the pen again in about the same place. As I bent down to pick it up my face got closer and closer to the table, my fingers just about touched the pen when I sneezed really hard slamming my face against the table as hard as I could. I have a swollen left eyebrow now. If that is any comparison to my week that would be about right on target. I am thinking that maybe God was punishing me for something that I said while I was driving earlier that day. On my way to school that morning I saw two different people in their cars with kleenex boxes on that ledge by their back windows. I think that is the worst place to put a box of kleenexes, i mean they are not going to help anybody with a snotty nose up their. I asked myself why?, why would anyone do that, those people are idiots. That is what I said in my head. I made fun of them for at least 10 minutes of my 45 minute drive to school. My punishment perhaps,.....a swollen eyebrow.
