This past weekend was Awesome!
For the first time ever I went to the Festival of Colors at the Spanish Fork Hare Krishna Temple! It was Amazing!! I went with a couple of my friends and...okay, for those of you who aren't familiar with the festival: there was dancing and we fed the llamas and at 5:20 there was the bonfire and the throwing of the Color! Which is bags of food coloring-ed flour and/or cornstarch. There were roughly (supposedly) 15,000 people there and me and my two friends went somewhere in the middle of all of them - shoulder to shoulder crowd - and they threw their colors at everybody (we got there early but still didn't purchase color) so we got covered in color - and shmearing it works best :) After the color throwing, we danced for like an hour and had tons of fun and then went home. Only we didn't go home...
After the big festival event there was a big poetry slam at Baxter's Cafe. It was the biggest poetry slam of the year here pretty much. It determined the slam team who will go on to compete in nationals. A big group of my friends won and will be going on to compete in Tampa in August. It was all very exciting.
Other exciting things: I'm officially a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor's Society! My kids are older - I keep saying that, I just don't believe it... Oh! And it's April Fools Day today!! I might just get off with no pranks on me this year! Teresa, I still love the April Fools dinner you served those years back. Jello juice, potato meatloaf cupcakes, So Yummy!
Anyway, I think I should actually pay attention in my Philosophy class now cuz he's discussing projects that I guess we're supposed to do...
