AHHHH!! Is it really… really almost finals week? And… grad… won’t say it. Ugly word that is. Still, the almost end of my spring has been filled with a little/a lot of fun.

In some form of chronological order by my cheese brained memory:

1. I was out jogging on Friday when towards the end of my run I saw his brown fox… then I realized it was a Lab off leash. I thought “geez, these owners are brave to let their dog off leash.” Then I saw a couple, and a another guy behind them and I thought, wonder if the dog belongs to the couple or that big burly dude behind them. Then I think, “Hmm… that guy reminds me of someone.” Then the guy stops next to a water fountain, whistles to the dog and turns to his, I assume, girlfriend and speaks in a British accent, “do you want some water?”

I think, “Gee, even his voice reminds me of that someone.” Then it hits me… IT’S ORLANDO BLOOM. Yes, read that sentence again. Orlando Bloom. My first and probably last celebrity sighting. Clearly I did what ever sane person would do and stopped mid jog to stretch so I could catch more of a glimpse. (Him and Colin Firth are filming about 10 mins from my school. In case you’re thinking, geez Cass, isn’t Orlando Bloom a little out of his element in Durham.)

2. I am the President of Chapel Choir. I’m so happy. I’m not too sure what the conductor thinks cause somewhere deep down, I’m pretty sure our relationship is love-hate. But yeah.

3. So Saturday was glorious weather. Glorious. I wandered around campus without doing much productive work. Went to an outdoor party with this water slide thingie and OH THAT WAS FUUUN! Then later that night I got dressed up, went to Chilli’s (classy, I know), went to DUI’s Big Show (amazing improv. Thank you Dean Sue. Thank you Coach K… and Mojo the Monkey… no!) Then then then then, I went to my Semi Formal. Considering I planned it… I was glad it was good. Apparently I do have the ability to make social things fun. I went with my friend and we had a blast. I’ll claim he had a blast too. Someday, I’ll thank him for putting up with my neuroticism about how the semi was going to explode in my face. Oh beans.
