   Hannibal Lecter said oodles! XD

How has everyone's week been so far? Good I hope! ^-^ This weekend was rather interesting. Saturday morning I got up and got ready to go to the Buena Vista University college visit day with my parents. Kayla and Ashley got there about the same time as us, so we got registered at roughly the same time. We got folders with a map of the school, a little brochure, and some papers listing the majors and minors available. After we got registered, we took a picture with the mascot, Beuford the Beaver. XD Then we sort of milled around in a little circle with random students coming over to talk with us about what we thought so far and what our interests were. Eventually a girl came up to us saying that she heard that we were looking at majors in art. Kayla and I said yes and she had us follow her to the end of the hallway we had come in through. She immediately said to the two other people sitting at the table, "Look! I found my people!" They then talked to us a little about what sorts of art courses they offered and gave us a brochure and a magazine they publish annually. Right after that, Ashley and I went to a short meeting about the Dean’s Fellowship. Basically, for the really smart people and people who really get involved in their school activities, it gave them even more benefits. The ones that I liked was the travel money; $500 for anywhere in the U.S., and $1000 for international travel. How that works is, if a club or class I’m taking is going to be traveling, and the money I don’t make from fund-raisers is fairly high, I can use some of that money. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get into that, though, and it’s going to either tick my mom off or highly disappoint her since she wants me to get into it if I go to BVU. *sigh* We’ll see...I might find another school I want to attend.

After that, there was a welcoming meeting for all the visitors, then we broke off into our different schools (Business, Communications and Arts, etc.) for the tour of the school. The main Comm. and Arts building was pretty interesting since it had a little T.V. studio, a huge computer lab with awesome computers, and it housed the local alternative rock radio station I listen to all the time. <3 After the tour we met with the guy in charge of our region (mine being North-West Iowa), and he told us some more about the school. And finally, we went to the luncheon. We were amazed since the Vice President of Admissions sat at our table and talked with us. Kayla and I had brought our portfolios in case we met with an art professor, but we never did. When we told the Vice President that, he said that he was disappointed, and that we should come back for a more personal visit. We thanked him when we got done eating a left.

Later that day, Yumi and her grandparents picked me up to go to Austin’s mom’s house for his girlfriend Caitlyn’s birthday party. We ended up being the first ones there, so we just talked with Austin and met his mom (who’s extremely awesome/nice!). Austin and I exchanged surgery stories (he broke his hand, I had appendicitis), when Caitlyn and her friend Jade came. I gave Caitlyn the picture I had drawn for her, and volumes 1-3 of the Fruits Basket manga to borrow. She thanked me, then we started our nice Hannibal movie marathon. >=D Yeah, out of all the people that were supposed to show up, there were only Yumi, Jade, me, and then Austin and Caitlyn. And including Austin’s mom, little sister, and cat, he was swimming in a house of estrogen. XD We ate pizza while we watched Hannibal Rising, and then moved on to Red Dragon after I called my dad to tell him what time to come get Yumi and I. We only ended up watching those two movies, but I let Austin borrow The Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal. Between the two of us, those are our all time favorite movie series. My dad came around 10:45 and we thanked Austin and went home. And Sunday I didn’t do anything. XD Ja ne~!

I call Reita’s lap! >=3
