mmm...the weekend...

weekends are so wonderful...or at least every other weekend now cause of my work schedule. anyways, i had a nice day yesterday...though i failed to accomplish my only real goal, but that was entirely not my fault. anyways, i was done with classes at noon, had to work desk till 1, then had the whole afternoon for whatever i wanted. i probably should have done some homework, but whatever. i knew that i needed to go to McKinley, the elementary school where i work, to schedule my hours, but i couldn't do that till like 3:30 when classes were finished. however, i told emma she could go cause we would be going past our favorite ice cream place, then lisa and ashley wanted to come. but by the time lisa gimped her way down the stairs with her very twisted ankle, and we made it to the school...i missed mrs. zook by like 5 minutes. i did get an awesome welcome from the girls i worked with last year. it was so cute...as i was walking up, kaylie saw me and yelled 'melanie?' and then about 8 girls ran and threw themselves at me. how awesome is that??? i love those kids! anyways, after my failed attempt to schedule my hours, we went and got our ice cream...terrific as usual. then emma and i went back to her hall to bug jeremy, but saw some girls with a slackline trying to show people how to walk on it, so emma tried her hand at that....didn't last long. then the staff and gov. from my hall had a grill out. we have such a cool group of people. we're like a big ol' family and it's so awesome. we were doing chemistry experiments with a soda cans, the grill and water...fun times. then i went to the lonely ninjas concert...which was awesome. last year all three of the guys in the group went to school here...then they went and graduated and are really trying to make something of this band they've got, which i think they may be able to accomplish cause they're really sounding good. my friend steffie who used to go to my school came back for the concert and it was really nice to see her and chat for a while. i miss that kid...wish she was still here. after that i just hung out in my room. the stairwells in the west wing smelled of beer, vodka and cigar smoke, and there were about 40 people in the circle area outside of my hall...causing quite a ruckus, so i had no desire to venture out there. so that's that..that was my friday, not that most really care, but in any case...it gave you something to read. bubye
