Vamps.

Whats goood whats goood???
Last night a few of us went to go see this movie of vampires, called Let Me In, in the Conrad auditorium. We had watched the preview before we went...
Watch Trailer Here
It looked pretty creepy and scary! So I was all revved up to see it!
When we got to the auditorium we were able to enter a free raffle, get a free poster from the movie, and take a tweet pic with a prop from the movie! From answering trivia questions in the audience before the movie, Sterling won a little comic book.


Sterling and the other winners of the trivia! final round to see what their prizes were! On the right is the announcer!
Poor Ster was the last one up there for the winning prize! His question was about Twilight. Being a pro at all Twilight trivia...sterling won :)
Sterling and his mini comic book + matt looking so enthusiastic!

The movie was like Twilight...with 12 year olds and a ton more blood involved. It was slow. I was prepared for a scary, thrilling movie...but found myself in a love story of preteens. The vampire story was not original: human falls in love with a vampire.
If you're more into romance than thriller/action movie..go see this movie! If not....skip it!

Ballroom Dance

Last night, January 18th, while I was hanging out with Sterling a not slid under his dorm room door.
It was an invitation to an open Ballroom Dance club on msu's campus.
Over break, Sterling had suggested we take lessons, because its something we could do for the rest of our lives. completely shocked that sterling would want to take dance lessons with me, i suggested we go to this open class.
I have taken 10 years of dance, and 5 years of cheerleading. I was planning on starting dance again this semester at Spartan Dance Center, which would be about $50 a month, for once a week every month.
Sterling and I went to the Demonstration hall last night at 9:45 pm. At 10 there was an intro performance, to show us what we could learn if we joined. After the performances, we learned how to do some simple steps to the Rumba.
Tonight at 10 pm there is another free session at the Demonstration hall. They will continue teach the rumba as well as teach us the Waltz (which is what ster and i are all about).
After last night, Sterling and I have decided to join the competitive team. Its $60, plus the shoes you buy. Practices are mon-wed every week from 10pm-12am and thurs 10:30-12am. Yes, it is VERY late. But its so much fun. There are also sessions to go to on Sundays between 12-4pm
I cannot wait to join! Im so excited to dance again!
If youre interested, or just want to see what its about, stop by tonight!!!

ONE MORE DAY TO VOTE!

WHO WILL WIN?

"Good-nessss"

OH MY GOSH!!!
How i love my new home in Yakeley. I couldnt be more thrilled!
My roommate is shy, but extremely nice. She studys alot, and goes home on the weekends. The girls on the hall...are the complete opposite. they all hang out, all the time.
When I lived in McDonel the halls were silent, no matter what time of day. No one ever talked to each other.
Here I am, now in Yakeley and everyone talks. I go to bed to the sound of girls talking loud and playing music. I love that.
At 8 am I can hear them all getting ready, even though im still trying to sleep.
I have the craziness I wanted, with a quiet room when i wish.
I am complete heaven. This is college. honestly.
I was so miserable with the hall last semester. I wish I wouldve started in this one.

MSU tomorrow

Tomorrow a new semester starts at MSU.
I am moving to a new room, with a new, unknown, roommate, in a new dorm.
Im so nervous! only because my new roommate is being extremely mysterious!
Im trying to figure out about her...but cant really. shes not giving me anything!
But thats okay. My last roommate was very excited to move in with me...and then things ended badly. So im going to take it slow this time.
Im living in Yakeley this semester. on the east side!
According to my new roommate, Sarah, the room is one of the bigger ones on the floor...but the beds are on the floor. they arent raised. which makes me nervous about how much space is in the room.
either way...im excited to be closer to the library and to the union and the building were my teachers are, and grand river!
Its a terrific location.
I want to make a ton of girly friends, since it was so hard to last semester in my hall.
SO PUMPED!
im getting there tomorrow around 9/9:30.

I then have supervisor training from 12:30-4. SO excited. Im ready for the pay raise for sure.
WOOOO
GO GREEN
