It's now two weeks after I took my fluids exam, and today, is when I finally found out my grade. 97. HOLY SHIT. I think that's the highest grade I've gotten on a real engineering exam. Pretty excited.
Then I think about the "not-so-97" I got on a different one. Ooops. I am still waiting to hear back from this awesomely cool fellow. Andrew also found my Wisconsin sweatshirt that I "lost" while carrying a newbie three blocks and up two flights of stairs.
Saturday recap:
I finished the 10K for the American Cancer Society in 43:25. I wasn't racing, so I'm happy. 7 min/mile almost exactly. I probably would've went a little faster, but I was helping my old roommate pace himself for the first 2.5 miles. I still feel exhilarated from that race. THey had live bands and free fruit and the atmosphere was just cool to be around.
THen I ventured to Memorial Union, to find out Stones was in Grainger. Finally make it to the conference and do some dancing for high schoolers interested in going to Madison. They were from Illinois and they said we were the highlight of their weekend trip.
Then I went home to put on my shoes and then ran down to Vilas Park (1.5 miles away) to find out my friends were NOT playing kickball at Vilas Park. THey switched parks an accounts of so many Madisonites being at the park, and us wanting to bring a keg for the game. Eventually I make it to the other park and play kickball, beer-in-hand, for a good 2 hours. We decide to head it back to watch the hockey game. Brilliant! idea. As I'm watching the game at the Bradley Center on TV, I keep remembering the Badger Hockey Showdowns from years past. Very fond memories of that place, especially getting on the Jumbotron for painting my chest. Still remember the North Dakota/Wisconsin championship game a couple years ago. That was crazy. I so wish I was in Milwaukee when we won the title. Yeah, WISCONSIN MEN'S & WOMEN'S HOCKEY NATIONAL CHAMPIONS, BABY!
After that exhausting game, I head it back to the house and fall asleep till midnight, inwhich Mix then drags me out for a "night-cap." Luckily there were only so many drinking hours left in the night, so I couldn't empty my entire wallet.
That was a long Saturday.

Sounds like a pretty fantastic weekend. But, you forgot to mention that you're the next editor for Vogue.
You were the one bugging me about going out.
