I think it is some of the rather random and spontaneous things from college that I will end up remembering as some of the most amazing times.
There were the hilarious moments of completely unplanned fun, like when I was in a room with a bunch of the girls from my floor and we skyped with StrongJoy and Raora. Or the night very early on in the year when Martie and I were "doing Bible homework" which somehow or another turned into sitting ON a table in the lounge and talking until what we considered all hours... (which being in those first couple of weeks probably means... midnight...)
There were the things which I had to be dragged along to because I was busy being an honours student and obsessing over getting my homework done. The greatest example of this was the Power Outage Outing. For a college which doesn't cancel for a few solid inches of ice, at least they cancel when all the power went out... and boy, did we take advantage of that. It was a very adventurous day -- a bus ride, Applebee's, and... WAL*MART!
And then... there were... a few things which I thought I was probably certifiably insane to do. For example, if you are rather tired and not getting anything like enough sleep, and a friend volunteers to take you along to help out at a lock in, you should definitely go, right?
Well, I went. And it was exhausting (duh) but it made some amazing memories. At least I think they were amazing... but considering the sort of things we were laughing at by three and four in the morning...
Other various memories which live on... (if you want more explanation, ask... it MAY be forthcoming.)
~Walking Janeen back to her house with Ketter, Jason, Alli, and Rebekah after the Dag party (which was wonderful in itself). I remember discussions about being homeschooled, communication, the direction of the Dag group in years to come... and singing
We Are the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything.
~Going with a group of girls from my floor over to the guys' room. Especially before the Valentine's Day party at Alicia's. Especially the part where we got bored of waiting and Tony's RA badge ended up stuck to the ceiling...
~Speaking of those girls and the guys' room, there was the time when I was over "watching" something in the guys' room (and being mostly asleep on the floor in preference to whatever kung fu was running...), the girls needed translation help with Hebrew. They didn't know what room I was in, so randomly picked a floor and began running through it yelling, "ANNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" It was an experience not to be missed...
~Rebekah spending insane amounts of hours after lunches
tormenting teaching Mike and me various games.
~Snowball Dag fights, both throwing snow at each other and using the huge snow boulders...
~Going to Hwaet with Kat. As if I didn't have soooo many other things which I was supposed to be doing right then... and then that night, going to Wal*Mart with Kat, Rebekah, and Amber... and then Janeen's bridal shower the next night... but it all worked (even if it shouldn't have time-wise) and was amazingly good.
~The doctor game. With headlice. And pretending to be each other. And... I don't remember what else.
~Rebekah: "How are you?"
me: "Fine."
Rebekah: "Put on your shoes, we're going for a walk."
~Getting tired of playing Dag with three people. This resulted in 1) slow motion battles and 2) me sitting down in the grass and just talking with Jason and Mike for a while.
~Salt fights.
Anyway... yes. These are not the things which I was told to expect in the way of fun... yet were amazingly so.

Mm. Good memories! Makes me feel nostalgic. The unplanned things are usually some of the best memories.
