My weekend was excellent, one of the best since I've been here at college. There wasn't even one specific event that made it great, it was just all around awesome. On Friday, we played a great game of Apples to Apples. Some great moments were had by all. You know you're in a great group of friends when everyone laughs at the same things.
Saturday didn't really see much goings on. At one point we went to the Cold Stone Creamery on Monocacy Boulevard. That was fun, Cold Stone has great ice cream. While we were there, I saw one of my friends who is still at high school, and we got to talk for a bit and I was able to learn what is new at my high school this year, which was fun. Then, at around midnight, we were bored, but not yet tired, so we decided to go to Wal*Mart. We were in Wal*Mart until around 1:45, then we finally decided to head back to school and go to sleep. There is nothing funnier than the things that they sell at Wal*Mart when you are awake past midnight. I've come to this conclusion, because I returned to Wal*Mart Sunday afternoon, and nothing was even close to as funny as it was the night before.
Sunday was a great day. We went into downtown Gettysburg, and looked at a few shops. We went to the Hat and Leather shop, where I purchased a red artilleryman's kepi, which I now wear around as often as possible. A kepi looks like this. After that, we went into another shop that sold Civil War recreations for re-enactors. We were in there for a while, just looking at all the cool stuff, when a group of obnoxious kids came in. They were about our age, if I had to guess, I'd say they were either from the local high school, or Gettysburg College. They were loud, and interrupted one of our group who was talking to the store owner. They left making rude comments in general. When we were walking back to my car, we saw them loitering around the shop where my car was parked. Knowing full well that they would be obnoxious as soon as we got close, I decided to mess with them a bit. So I pressed the panic button on my car remote. They got all freaked out, and started to leave in a hurry, lest they get in trouble. It was quite funny.
Today the week started, and life has become slightly more dull.

I had a great fall break
My break was excellent. It was greatly needed too. A full week to relax was a tremendous help. I didn't get to do as much as I wanted, but I got to sleep as much as I wanted, so that made up for things. This past weekend, before break was over, i went down to the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA. I ended up driving, because with gas prices going down, the train just cost too much money. I got to hang out with my friend Barrett, and laugh at all the drunk people at a Frat Party. I didn't get to spend much time with my friend Meg. It was a little depressing, but she lives closer to me, so I'll be able to spend time with her over semester break.
William & Mary is a very lovely school. I would seriously consider transferring there if tuition wasn't free here. The campus is 10 times larger than MSM, I was really surprised, but the student body is about that much bigger than here as well, so in retrospect, it isn't that surprising. I really liked all the old buildings, they were quite interesting. It was so cool to think that I was walking where Thomas Jefferson walked, and where he went to school. That's one of the reasons I love Colonial Williamsburg, and other historical cities. Being where such great men have been really gives you a great feeling.
I got my ticket for WHS Homecoming in the mail the other day. I haven't decided if I'm going or not. The only reason I would go in the first place is to see all of my old friends again, it's certainly not because of the dance. I hate school dances. So if no one who I want to see is going, or if only a couple of the people I want to see are going, I'll just save the gas and stay here. After all, I'll see them over semester break anyway. I'll just wait and see what comes up.

I feel that...
...I'm a little behind on my posts here. I'll have to be sure to stay more on top of this blog.
This was a great weekend. I had a lot of fun. I got to sleep in both Saturday and Sunday, and just have a lot of fun. On Saturday night, I got to do the ghost hunt thing with John Zaffis. That was really cool. First he gave a talk to everyone at the Knott Auditorium and told us about what he has done. Then he took the group of us that had signed up to the place behind IC Chapel where he took out this device that could apparently detect answers from spirits. We started asking questions, but we didn't get any answers. Then we moved over in between the IC Chapel and the Terrace, and asked more questions. There we got a lot of activity. We started asking questions, and we gathered that the spirit we were talking to was a Nun who had known Father DuBois, and that there were orphans and soldiers. We don't know exactly who it was, but it was cool none the less. We asked if she was looking over us, and she said yes, that that was really cool.
Sunday I did my laundry because it had to be done. Then later in the afternoon we went into Frederick to go to Brainstorm Comics. We got some dice for our Dungeons and Dragons campaign. Don't worry, we aren't' obsessed, it's just a fun thing to do with our free time, after we do our homework. Then we went to Taco Bell and got some dinner. We finally drove back to campus and we stopped at Patriot to get our meal plan dinner, and get them in to-go boxes so that we could eat them later, because we weren't hungry (due to Taco Bell).
I'm looking forward to next week. I'm really in need of fall break. A week free of school will do my mind good. On Saturday I'm going to the Renaissance Festival with my family. It just so happens that so is Dan from my hall. So I'll get to hang out with him instead of my family, because as much as I love my family, they aren't as fun to hang out with at the Renaissance Festival than friends are. The next weekend, the 17-19th of October, I'm going down to Williamsburg to see my friends who go to William & Mary College. Other than that, I have nothing planned, and I'm OK with that.
