Who loves orange soda? Wikipedia sure does!

 I can't explain how lucky I feel to have made such great friends since I started grad school.  They make every moment wonderful and even through the most trying/want to rip your hair out moments they still make me smile :)

As stated in my last post it is getting harder for me to stay focused on school so instead of forcing myself to do things that would get me ahead I ended up spending most of my nights with friends :)  I went to get a "bucket of wings" with Charlotte and April....20 hot wings crammed into a little metal bucket...it's what dreams are made of :).   I feel so manly when I talk about getting a "bucket of wings" but anyone who knows me should know how much I LOVE hot wings...so this was right up my alley!

Then on Thursday April, Michaela, Charlotte, and I went to the midnight showing of New Moon!!!! Since I am a crazy "twi-hard" (that really is a ridicouls name for it) we got to the theater at 11 thinking there was going to be a huge line but we were surprised to find that they had 3 theater's showing the movie...  So since we had an hour to wait it was a great time to snap some photo's:

 This is the wonderful Charlotte and I doing are best impressions from a great movie bridesmaids.  If anyone has seen the movie they know exactly what we are doing.  All I am going to say is "I can't make accurate ones because I have elbows"

"Don't look at it head on.  It's really aggressive."

we decided that we needed to take a picture of us at the theater's while we were waiting for the movie...thats the movie man worker in the background.  He was not very friendly.  Then it looks like Hitler is behind us on the screen, but I'm thinking that's incorrect..

The movie was SO good!  I didn't really like where they ended it but that's ok.  I will def. go see it again!  I got home at like 2:30 that morning and woke up at 7am to talk to my good friend Kelsey who was staying at my house.  It was good to see her for about 50 mins.

Then on Saturday it was FOOTBALL TIME!!! Which means Breakfast at the Buck with the girls :)  I was sad that it was the last breakfast at the buck for the season, but also happy because now I can sleep in on Saturday mornings!!!  I decided that April needed someone to do her hair at the Buck because she needed to be looking more fly, however she thought that I needed the same...picture below :

As you can see neither of us are very happy with the turn-out of our new do's....haha!

I was also super lucky because my good friend Brit came into town from Nebraska and we got to spend most of the day together!  She came to the football game with us and it was SO much fun....SO COLD but so much fun...since we are true fans we stayed the entire game (thanks to April and Brit telling me we can't leave) and it was a good thing becaus we are bowl eligible!!! Way to go POKES!!!

Here is Brit and I FREEZING our toes off...literally!  

Then for the rest of the evening we all just hung out and had a great time being lazy and enjoy each other company.  Once again i am thankful for good times with friends and making new friends everyday.

Here is a picture of April, me, Charlotte, and Michaela last night...seriously I can't stop smiling when I look at this photo...there are some creepers in it but just ignore them.  

Well I am off to do some homework...only 2 days left until thanksgiving break!  I couldn't be more excited because that means that in less than 3ish days I get to see my 2 best friend!  I can not wait to see Brooke and Duncan.  I have missed seeing her SO much!  I also can't wait to see how big Duncan has gotten!  I am so lucky that she posts pictures of him so that I can see all of the fun moments in that adorable lil' guy's life!!

Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday!
