Friday wasn't necessarily what most people would call a fantastic night, but it mostly just add to the awesome that was my weekend, mostly because it didn't suck the big one, you know? It started with the Fighting Sioux Women's Hockey team kicking some ass vs. Mankato which was great. The a bunch of people from my dorm all came up to our common area and we just had sober fun. I ended up playing a really awesome game of apples to apples, which if you have never played i suggest you check it out and have a blast. it doesn't really matter how old you are, apples to apples is fun for pretty much everyone, as long as your playing it with the right people.
But it was super fun, there was no drinking and it was over by like 1:30 but we had a good time and that's what really matters. Plus I got the new Harry Potter movie finally...I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!! It just makes me happy and sad and angry and so many different emotions at one time...its fantastic!!!!!
Then comes Saturday, the real reason for my fantastic weekend. So the actual day wasn't overly eventful i just kind of chilled out, I talked to my family a little bit and got to leave campus for a little bit which was awesome, then I headed to the hockey games.
The Fighting Sioux Women's Hockey team once again beat Mankato which was great and it was a great to watch. If you are ever in Grand Forks during hockey season, do your best to get to either the men or women's hockey games, there fucking awesome. But anyway, i was walking back to my dorm, because it was fuckin freezing and I needed to get a bigger jacket before I head over to the theatre(we'll get to that in a minute). When this random guy walking next to me comments about the weather and we started talking and then the dialogue goes like this.
Me: I'm fuckin freezing.
Random: It's not that bad.
Me: Yea, that's because you have a better jacket on then me.
Random: Do you want it?
AAAAAAAHHHHHH, it may not be much but it pretty much made my night. The fact that some random guy offered me is jacket...FANTASTIC!!!! I didn't take it because I didn't want him to be cold, although he assured me he wouldn't be, but i would have felt bad. But it was great, we had a great conversation and both told each other we would see each other later BUT...I didn't get his name!!! I was a little disappointed him myself, but life goes on right? I do however know which dorm he lives in and it just was great!!!!!
The downer of my night was that I did have to go help strike the set for Assassins, which means that i had to help take ti all down and put everything back in its place because we had to prepare for the one-act festival that is taking place on Monday. so that was kind of sucky. But then one of the guys I know in the Theatre department, made me go to the cast party.
Oh cast parties, i can't tell you much because what happens at a cast party stays at a cast party, for the most part. It would definitely be frowned upon if i posted everything all over the Internet. Basically it just reminded me of why i am in love with the theatre. Performing and all that is great and i love it to death, but the people are truly amazing. I wasn't a part of the cast and I guess you could say I was part of the crew, but my job is separated from them. I didn't work with them day in and day out on the show, hell i barely knew all of their names but i never felt left out. I never felt like an outsider looking in and I think that is one of the great things of the Theater. It doesn't matter where you are from or who you are, there is more then likely a spot for you and everyone will welcome you with open arms. I think that is such a rare quality in some places so it is always nice when its there and it just makes you feel that much more at home.
So all in all, my weekend was a huge success, and I can't wait for Tuesday because then I am home sweet home. Hence i might not blog too much this week, if nothing else, I won't have Internet so there will probably be just one huge post next Monday. So there will be exactly a week between posts, maybe.
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and is going to have a great week. If you get to see your family for Thanksgiving, take advantage of that, no matter how old you are, you'll miss that one day, so enjoy them while they are around. Stay safe if your traveling=D
