Friday night, I, along with Katie, Chelsea, a few RAs, and my supervisor, went to the fair! My supervisor , Greer, told us about it and got a group together. Of course, I definitely wanted in on that! It was so fun. We rode on the rides (you should have seen Greer! She was like a little kid. She loved it and went on all the rides), we ate fair food (yum! Love me some fried pickles!), and, potentially best of all, we went to a demolition derby! SO FUN! We all cheered Dr. Death on as he destroyed Dover and Christine and Widow-Maker. Yay, Dr. Death (Thanks, Dad! - that's for you, Katie and Chelly)! I'm officially a Demo Deby fan and plan on going back. Yes, I did just write that. It was such a fun night. Watching people, laughing with friends...It was really cool to be with (mostly) fellow RAs, because none of us had to be responsible for anyone and we all are going through really similar things. It was a fun night.

The Whole Group
Then, Saturday was the first home football game! YES!!! We went tailgating around 1, saw a bunch of friends (talk about a difference from freshman year when we had no idea what we were doing or who anyone was!), and then headed into the stadium! It started raining a little, but it didn't matter. Being there with so many friends, listening to the band (knowing people in the band), watching the cheerleaders (two girls form my hall - whoo whoo! And one of my Tri Delt friends. And a guy from my brother hall), and watching the game (what I could see of it), it was just so much better and different this year! It was fun last year, for sure, but this year, I just belong more. I've survived a year, I know the ropes, so to speak, and I just feel at home here. Even when it started pouring rain (as in, I may as well not have taken a shower today), we all just stood on the bleachers and cheered the team and then the band during the half time show!

After half time, Olivia, Katie, Carolyn (she's in my pledge class), and I went downtown to the Indi Crafts Fair! Wow. We saw so many cute things. I ended up buying a necklace and some earrings that I really like. It was so fun to look around and admire people's creativity! I'm including their websites below in case you want to check them out (which you should).
