Riding, Baking and SMALLVILLE! = )

Hey guys! So, this week was super fun! Firstly, I got another job. And now I also do research for the poli-sci department. It is really awesome, because its fun and it'll be helpful with major and I can to get to know my professors better too!

I also got to have a much needed movie night (well actually three) with friends and it is official.. I am addicted to Smallville! I love it! It is so awesome and just so everyone knows Lex Luther is totally my favorite person on the show!!!! And while all this movie watching was happening (or TV watching) we were also baking. Check out this awesome cheesecake we made!

It was a strawberry one. And it might look iffy, but it was super ymmy! And I have to say that cheesecake is a necessity in dorms!

And then there was also some riding. It was super fun and I jumped like the whole time (and almost fell off the horse lots) but it was like the first time I actually did a jumping course, which was super fun! And so here is some amazing pictures of us at the barn!

And me and the most friendly, soft barn cat ever! His name is Jack and he is super sweet!!

And also this week Edge, which is a kind of Christian group on campus, went to this soup kitchen to help out. It was in Portland and it was so funny, because the directions we had led us to this empty parking lot outside of an office building. And we had like no clue where to go. So, we had to ask some people and ended up like 5 blocks away from it. So, we were like late and there were so many volunteers, so we ended up just doing dishes and mopping. But, it was still fun. Here is some pictures of that.

And now its Monday again.... This week is going to be busy, but next weekend is another habitat day and then all my friends and I are going to this night maze and The Rave is happening (the huge Halloween dance on campus). So another fun weekend to look forward to! Hope you guys have a fun week! = )
