So... Thursday...

Good morning! Yupp, it’s Thursday! Tomorrow is FRIDAY!
How do you ladies feel about that? Well it’s almost over. 
But this week seems to be dragging quit a bit maybe its NJ’s crummy, gray, gloomy, and rainy weather.
I know, ”APRIL showers, bring MAY flowers”.  I also, know I complain a lot about the weather but come on after this horrible winter I need outstanding warm and sunny weather now! PLEASE!

Thursday April 21, 2011 Here’s a shot of my speed growing sunflower.  I sound totally cheesy and corny when I talk about my sunflower and cactus (I wont bore you with cactus pictures because well its growth is as fast as a turtle ::yawn:: )

I was thinking of taking the flower home with me this weekend and planting it.  But then I can take pictures of it everyday because I’m not done at school just yet….  I’m a cornball to the MAX and I want to make a scrapbook page of my sunflower growing.  I’ll let you know what I do!

So let’s chat about more interesting FUN!

What is RUTGERSFEST??
”A yearly gathering of RU students and friends to celebrate the end of the school year. Drinking is a definite. Eating is a plus. After consumption of beer and food, bands in a lineup of mixed genres perform. It doesn't end there, unofficially, Rutgersfest continues on frat row and extends throughout campuses at house parties, dorms, bars, and restaurants.”

Basically RUTGERSFEST is the best day of the year to be a Rutgers student!  It’s what students talk about in September during the first full weeks of classes, and throughout the year when its becoming closer and closer and how drunk of their minds they plan on being.

Heather came up to Rutgers Thursday night after my night class and stayed over.  Friday we woke up at about 8:45 to my lovely alarm, got some Dunkin breakfast, and began getting our drink on about 10AM with our breakfast.  Beer pong followed shortly after breakfast.  The first teams up were Steve and I against my roommates Rebecca and Katie.  Steve and I DOMINATED them!! I don’t play pong that much, but my throwing was on point!
I was *WINNING* ahah!

The aftermath!!

**Rutgersfest is the best day of the year at college and due to out of control violence it is forever canceled!!  (Below is from a news article) READ IT!!**
”The chaotic celebration that is Rutgersfest: 11 people were arrested and four people were shot over the course of the one day event. And now, the school’s president has sent out an email saying Rutgersfest has been permanently cancelled.”
”The safety of our university community, and that of our neighbors, is paramount, and we cannot risk further danger or the possible loss of life. The problems that occur following Rutgersfest have grown beyond our capacity to manage them, and the only responsible course of action is to cancel the event," wrote Rutgers President Richard McCormick in an email to the campus community late yesterday, explaining why it was necessary to shelve the 30-year-old festival. An estimated 40,000 to 50,000 people attended the free event, including many high school and college students from other schools. Besides Snooki, there were boardwalk style carnival games, food booths and a concert featuring hip-hop artists Pitbull and Yelawolf and electronic-pop act 3OH!3.”
”Not that they'll necessarily get a chance to implement it with Rutgersfest now. Pete Mangarella, New Brunswick’s police director, called the free event "the worst thing of the year for the city of New Brunswick." Fights broke out during the event (you can see one particularly raunchy one below), and spilled into the city late at night after the event had finished. The injured teenagers, who were all male, included an 18-year-old who was shot once in each leg, a 19-year-old shot twice in the buttocks and another man grazed by a bullet on his hip. Two 17-year-olds were also hospitalized, one for a gunshot wound to the hip and another after being hit in the head with a bottle.”

It’s such a shame that a 30 year tradition has to be put to rest because of non Rutgers trash that came and ruined it for the future Rutgers classes.  Glad my last Rutgers fest was a good one!

My cousin Kelly’s new baby Elliot is turning 3 months old next week.  Kelly sent out new pictures of him.  I’m so inlove with him!  I can’t wait until he comes up from ATL to spend a long weekend in NJ!

Elliot is the cutest little leprechaun!


Sweepy!

Have a great Thursday ladies!!
