This past weekend was really fun! Everything from birthday celebrations to Superbowl parties kept me busy, busy, busy, but it was awesome!! On Friday it was my one-year anniversary with my boyfriend, Kent, so we went out to dinner at a restaurant called Gooseblind in Green Lake. It was amazing! They have everything from fish, to wraps, to pasta, and everything is delicious!! I had the pasta carbonara and even the leftovers were yummy!!
On Saturday morning my mom came to visit and took me out to brunch. There was also an Ethical Leadership Program event on campus that I wish I could've made it to... but I couldn't turn down seeing my mom!! Saturday night I went out wish my girlfriends and we hung out at one of the fraternity houses, it was our friend Mike's birthday so we had to stop by and wish him well :)
Then Sunday was church, an awesome brunch in the commons, and a nap before heading to a Superbowl party. If there's one thing I love more than the Superbowl commercials, it's the snacks at Superbowl parties. SOOOO much food, but I'm not complaining!
Yesterday we had a guest lector in my creative writing class, a writer/professor from the Fond du lac area (her name is Paula Sergi and she taught a class here last semester which I was in). Anyway, she's always a hoot and it was great seeing her again! Yesterday was also an informational meeting on the Londen/Florence semester abroad programs- just one of the endless possibilities for off-campus study Ripon offers. Oh, and did I mention that your financial aid follows you abroad for a semester? So you get to go to college anywhere in the world for near the price you would to stay right here. It's a great opportunity and I can't wait to take advantage of it!!
Today at lunch one of the local businessmen involved with the renovations happening to our downtown came to talk to the students in the Pub. Then anyone who wanted to could fill out a twelve question questionare and get free Roadhouse pizza just for doing it! For those of you who don't know, Roadhouse pizza is probably the BEST pizza ever- and they donated the pizzas for free. This is a really exciting time at Ripon College because students involved in the SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) organization are given the opportunity to work hand in hand with the entrepenuers who are making the renovations to downtown.

Well, that's all for me for now! Take care and stay warm!!
