I am hiding in my room as Erica, Matt, Jack and Jenny are in the living room. I was reading Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, and people came over just as I was finishing the assigned portion.
Then we went to Urness for ice cream. On the 9th floor we filled our bowls with ice cream, and then worked our way down, stopping on each floor getting toppings. Magdalen was on the 7th floor, and she gave us crushed Oreos. Thank you, Res Life!
I wanted to go to sleep long ago.
This weekend was fun. Friday was the All Nighter. I volunteered through all of it for Mary who helped organize it with ASAC. I helped make signs, handed out pop corn, and after Bo Burnum I helped clean up. It was a very rewarding experience, and I think I had more fun volunteering than I have had attending in the past. I also played Dodgeball. My team consisted of me, Steve and J-Steve, but then another Steve, and two others joined us. We played two matches and lost both, but it was still a lot of fun.
On Saturday, Erica and I went grocery shopping together for the first time. We ran into Alex on the way to Seward, and discussed dinner plans. I thought that I was exempt from the dinner at Ali's because I was going to Burlesque with Alan, but as it turned out Alan was going to dinner too, so I got to go after all. Alex made delicious squash ravioli, and Erica made a salad. From there, Alan and I went to Lili's Burlesk Review's Best of the Midwest for the Third year in a row, and it was, as always, magnificent.
Jazz band run out on Sunday morning, and after a whole day of sleeping, lounging and watching How I Met Your Mother, Jenny and I adventured to Dinkytown for tacos at Burrito Loco.
Then, I had a date to watch Requiem for a Dream. *Shudder

Reel Love
I just went to "Reel Love," a student starred, produced, written and directed play at Sateren Auditorium.
My friend Jack has been working on it for a really long time, so I went to see him.
Turns out there were a lot of awesome people in it, and the play ROCKED.
Go see it.

About what I said about posts in January...
Oops.
Classes started yesterday, and I am feeling really happy about being here, even though I've forgotten what I am supposed to do with "homework."
Later, I will read all about the splendid Alexander the Great, some excerpts from Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" which I really wanted to read last semester, and should have read over break because it related to Mary Kingsley, and finally chapter 2 of my Intro to Queer Studies book. Mmmm.
Today, as I waked from Oren back to the Enrollment Center (stay tuned), I felt awash with goodness, the same feeling I had nearly THREE years ago when I was still just fantasizing about being an Auggie in Minneapolis, but new and evolved and enriched. :)
I've gotten to know a lot of people, and I see many of them every day, and we say hi to each other!!!
So, my deal with the Enrollment Center was that I realized my Social Science requirement couldn't be filled by two Poli-Sci classes, so I had to enroll in... MICROECONOMICS at the last minute.
Yay.
(Not Yay).
On the bright side of that though, when I got to the classroom, my neighbor and Jazz band manager was there, so I sat next to him, and then some more people I knew came and sat by me. That's something I appreciate that I wouldn't have thought about 3 years ago. Sure, it goes along with being a small school, but how great is it to build relationships with people throughout your time here, on all different levels!
Ah yes.
Break finished up really well. I went to Duluth to spend some time with Rita, her Mom and Step-Dad, and my parents came up too. We walked 6 dogs by Lake Superior, and two fell in. Rita had to rescue them. Before she left, Rita visited me here in the City, and we went to Al's Breakfast over in Dinky Town which was one of her favorite places when she was in school at the U.
Then I rested.
Now, I am all confused because it's night time, and I am kind of sleepy and really just want to play on my computer and go to bed, but I think I should hit the library.

There will Probably be lots of posts between now and January 18th
Because it's BREAK, and I am in Minneapolis.
You'll be getting an Augsburg play-by-play.
What I, Lily, do for fun.
Fun, when nothing else burdens my conscious. Oh yes.
Today, I went to Cub, loaded up with enough food to last me through break, and probably well into second semester. It weighed so much I called DPS to pick me up from the light rail, and my shoulders will probably be sore tomorrow.
Everything I need for various pastas, canned soups, and sandwiches. Last night, as I fell asleep, instead of thinking about boys like I usually do, I fantasized about all the food I was going to buy. I think I am most excited for the raviolis with sauce, and my avocados AND bacon, just like what Jacqui had at our History tea party.
Jenny says hi to my gentlereaders.
She just got back to my room, and we are super excited to put together the puzzle I bought for Erica for Christmas (we will put it back in the box, and Erica will never know the difference). We will also watch movies, and have a wonderful night, embracing the sweet frivolity of pseudo-adulthood as we wait for our Pizza-Hut $10 stuffed crust to arrive.
Happy New Year!

(allegedly)Sunny California
13 days ago, I embarked from this very room on a grand adventure.
I have since traversed the country to its lengthy Pacific Coast, and faced the conditions in the untamed North.
Now, what a wonder it is to be relaxing safe in my Mortensen apartment, with a big bowl of soup and rice cooling, and a mug of tasty tea steeping... clocks ticking, interstate humming. I can wear light, comfortable clothing, and bare feet without having to worry about getting my feet wet or dirty. The clutter is my clutter, and easily managed. OH! It is good to be back.
Los Angeles High Lights:
On Friday when I was on my own to explore Hollywood, I got off the metro and walked the wrong way all the way to some place called "Mount Olympus" where Hollywood Avenue ended! I should have figured that the expansive blocks of apartment buildings would not have yielded Amoeba Music and hip coffee shops... After finding Hollywood, and walking the right way, I really enjoyed perusing, and when Nathan caught up with me, we had warm drinks and figured I walked an extra 3 miles.
Every Museum we went to was great. I saw Van Gogh's Irises, two seascapes by Turner, a small Frida and some big Diego Riveras. I also saw some Andy Warhols. A whole room full in fact... and even though I don't hold his art too close to my heart, it was still a fine experience to see some of the originals of the posters and stamps that have made their way into pop culture common place. I saw some really clothing on display, and have decided that a fun out fit to have would be that of a French Man in the 1700s. I think the the long coat, fitted vest, and pants that buttoned around my knees would be very fetching.
After getting supplies at the farmers market, Nathan (my cousin, who I was visiting) made a delicious dinner and we watched one of the Christmas gifts he got his friend.
In n Out Burger and its delicious healing powers. YUM!
Lots of good food as a matter of fact! Thai the first night, an Ethiopian lunch (we ate with our fingers!) Fish Tacos, and blueberry cheese cake from, "The House of Pies."
A completely deserted (except for some kelp...) Venice Beach. I got my picture taken with the faithful umbrella. Wet feet.
One night, because Nathan's friend got a gift certificate for christmas, he took us out to a movie at the Arc Light Theater, which is big and fancy. We saw "The King's Speech." Both I, and Nate's friend Colin dozed off a little... At least I had the excuse of that being the day I walked too much. THe movie wasn't bad at all.
Our last full day included the In n Out Burger, Huntington Library and Museum, a visit to Occidental College near dark, a stop at "Inteligencia" coffee for warm drinks and Hipster watching, a stop at the Observatory, the fish tacos, pie, naps, and finally a visit to the "Upright Citizen's Brigade" theater for star studded comedy.
I think the Huntington was my favorite, probably because they wooed me right off the bat with their 17th century globes, John Locke notes, and original Audobon illustrations. The gardens were beautiful too, if wet and hurried.
Inteligencia was Nathan's surefire hipster zone. He promised I'd see some, and he did not let me down. I had been expecting to see lots of California hipsters, but until that night, they had remained quite hidden to avoid the rain. My hot chocolate tasted weird. Like it might have been enjoyed by the Aztecs centuries ago, but not by me with my Swiss Miss Sensibilities.
I had never had a fish taco before, and Nathan told me that the place we went could very well be the best place to get fish tacos. Pretty good!
The Observatory was windy, wet and cold, but the view was amazing. Worthy stop.
And then, the next day, we got a Japanese lunch, and then went to the Airport. Nathan's flight left at 1, but mine wasn't until 6. I could have stayed behind and checked out down town, but by then I was weary and soggy enough to just go with and wait. I like airports. I read, wrote letters, got McDonalds and had a right swell time.
I got sad when Nathan left. We didn't talk much, but I account that to us still being of a different age. Where I hung out with Claire, Nathan was always her big brother, and big brothers are sometimes kept at a distance, especially by little girls. I hope that our relationship will continue to blossom in the years to come. It won't even be a whole year before I see him again! Hooray family weddings!
My mom picked me up from the air port and drove straight home, where I spent the rest of my time until now. Home is wonderful, but I am delighted to be back.

Vespers Week
I was going to blog while my meal cooked, but I got distracted. Now I blog while contentedly munching brown rice and venison steak.
Yesterday was a lot of fun.
I will start at the beginning.
Vespers started on Friday, so after class I got on the bus to take us all to Central Lutheran. Snow had been falling for a couple hours, and the 10 minute drive took 40. I made it on time though, and I played with Brass Chamber in the entry way for the third year. I didn't play very well though.
After we were done, Steve gave us a ride back to Augsburg, which was great because then we didn't have sit for another 2 hours before going home. When I did make it back, I went across 94 to watch "The Great Dictator" with Colin, Renee, Aidan, Paul and Steve-J. After that, I ran into a friend who was visiting my neighbor, and she invited me over to play Smash Brothers. We didn't actually play for that long, probably because I am so terrible, they didn't see the point in it. I do want to practice.
These events lead up to why I stayed in bed as long as possible yesterday morning, even though I'd hoped to get some work on my biology project done. I barely made the bus at 12:30, and then spent the rest of the day at the church. Same deal this time through, only I think we played much better.
Steve brought us home again, and then I went to an Mpirg party. I didn't know it was going to be an Mpirg party. Oliver who invited me, just said that I should come, and that he'd be heart broken if I didn't. So I walked by myself all the way into the Seward Neighborhood, and to my delight, when I arrived, saw many people I already knew! Oliver did introductions, and I was soon set free to socialize. I actually succeeded too. The dynamic was very good, probably because everyone there were political canvassing, extroverted types. SO GREAT!
I made friends, and had moments with old ones, and it was fantastic.
I spent a really long time in a room talking about History and politics with an Mpirg worker, met a boy from Morris who knows Josh and who is awesome, and after an incident involving an unlocked bathroom door, vowed to hang out with Kathy for the last time (before actually doing it, after all these years!).
When the rest of the Augsburg people started leaving, I went too because I didn't want to walk back alone, and then Alex and I went to Hard Times (one hour before they closed!).
This morning I woke up at a decent hour considering the late night, and was able to do some work on biology before meeting with Hunter, and then I practiced for my trumpet Jury.
Now that I've eaten, and blogged, it is time for me to get back to work. I am going to do some reading, and if I can, I will write some of my religion paper too.

November
How do I catch up on everything since Election Day!
I will go weekend by weekend.
The first weekend in November was the National Rabbit Breeders Association Convention here in Minneapolis. My mom had a booth to sell pottery, and I went on Sunday to booth sit while she went to Owatonna. Then, Hillary came and we looked at all the bunnies. Hundreds of them.
While I still favor the noble Rex, my fondness for English Spots is growing. I think that when the time comes for me to get a house rabbit, it will be an English Spot.
The next week, I left after Religion class on Thursday to hop on a plane and go to DENVER for the National Women's Studies Association Conference with Annika, Lucretia, Gina, Christine, Murriel and Jessica Nathanson. It was amazing, and really got me Jazzed for the rest of my academic career.
This Thursday was Harry Potter day, and Alan picked me up at 8 to go get ready to see the first part of the LAST set of movies. We met up with Mitch, Ali and their friend... Laura? At Perkins, and then went to the theater. We were very early, and I ate a ton of pop corn. Eventually, Hillary was able to get tickets, and she joined us! The movie itself was good. I haven't read the book since it came out in 2007, so I was not nitpicking. I really liked it. I can't wait until the next one comes out! I might be in Australia. I wonder what that does to release dates.
Friday, Sara came down from Superior to see The Room at the Uptown Theater with some of her friends. Alan and I went too. Tommy Wiseau was there in the flesh. I had never seen the movie before, and knew nothing about it other than that it is BAD. Sara let me use her spoons to throw. Another very fun experience.
Sara stayed at my apartment that night, and then in the morning Visser and Caite picked us up to go to a Coffee Expo in Uptown. Codey had been really excited about it. The expo was smaller than last year, but I still got my fill of free tea, coffee and pastries. When we got bored, we went to Cody's work and ate delicious Thai food. Then we played video games. Well, they played video games. I worked on my Religion 200 project.
Earlier that day, I got a text message from Oliver asking if I wanted to go to an amateur trapeze show. Of course I did! We would have to leave at 7:30, and I had to get Sara safely to the Northstar train. Because of all this, I missed the Honor's play, which I am kind of bummed out about, but the trapeze show made up for it.
I really want to be an acrobat... Yet another dream. I guess I will just keep doing sit-ups until the day comes in which I need to use my formidable abdomen to hoist myself into the sky.
The show was great. We had front row seats, and everyone was awesome. The last performance even used Moulin Rouge's "Roxanne." After the show, we mingled a bit, and then returned to Augsburg.
There was ice on everything, which made for great sliding. We slid all over the foot bridge, and then, on the way back to Mort, Oliver fell on the sidewalk, so we slid around there for a while too. Once in Mort, Oliver and I parted ways, and I joined with Jenny to watch a sad movie (Friday evening, I watched "Boys Don't Cry" with QSU, VERY SAD.) I wanted to watch more sad movies, so we put in Edward Scissorhands. I hadn't seen it in at least 10 years, and really enjoyed myself.
Random sleeping patterns made last week fly by, and now it is already Thanksgiving week, so we only have three days of class.
Last night, I stayed up until 6am finishing my I believe project. I think it turned out really nice.
Now. It's 7:30. My room says that I should go to sleep now, and do EVERYTHING in the morning. Everything that I planned on doing today, which was a lot, and resulted in a few pages being read about Mendel and Genes, and then some cleaning.
I called my Mom for guidance. She said to get out of here and get more done. So I will... but I am hungry and tired. Argh.
I will try to make a grilled cheese using dinner rolls.
Wish me luck.
