Breathe of Fresh Air

So, last week we had Fall Breather. So, I got the weekend off from work, headed to my grandparents for the weekend, then went home for Monday and Tuesday. So, I had to drive an hour through a blizzard -we got snow in the beginning of October! :'(
And I get back home on Monday and come down with a nasty cold... Which I STILL have. On top of that, my allergies were running ramped since we were tearing out our old carpet in the living room and putting new sub-flooring in. Yeah, not fun. So, I really couldn't breathe over fall breather. How much of a play on words is that? :D
But, the drive back to Moorhead was redeeming enough. I stopped in Grand Forks and had lunch with a very close friend of mine and even met up with my step-cousin at the lovely joint Cold Stone Creamery. YUM!!
Spending 3 hours in Grand Forks, I still had the one hour drive back to Moorhead. I was greeted by my roommate Mary, who gave me one of the biggest hugs of my life (again). After we unloaded my car (which I mistakenly packed pretty tight with tons of stuff), we decided to go out and grab some fast food and came back and watched 18 Kids and Counting: The First Granddugger (soo adorable!).
When our roommate Melanie came home, Mary and I greeted her the same way I was greeted. You know, it's crazy. We have only been rooming since the middle of August, and even now we miss each other like crazy over long weekends and breaks. We really have already become sisters in a way. It makes me happy to know we all have 2 more years together at MSUM.
And now this week, I have a few midterms. I was lucky enough to have one this morning in fact and it was the easiest midterm I think there ever could possibly be. My next one is tomorrow morning bright and early!
This weekend will be sooo fun though! This weekend is the 48 Hour Film Challenge!!!! Friday night at 7pm we are told what genre, line of dialogue, character, and prop our film is to entail and then we have 48 hours to plan, shoot, and edit it. On top of that, it can only be 8 minutes and not a single frame over! They will be shown Sunday night at 7pm in King Hall 110 (just in case you want to come see our amazing film!)
