Accepted!

The past week or so has been awesome. Two Sundays ago, it snowed and I got to miss two days of school. South Carolina had a full 4 inches of snow, which for us is an avalanche. In these two days, I helped to make two snowmen, had a huge snowball fight with my sister, Cassidy, and made snowangels with her as well.
On Wednesday, Eli and I went to the Bob Jones art gallery and worked on our Art History papers. That day, I received a letter with confirmation of my acceptance in Decatur.
The next day, I went to hang out with my friends Hunter, Justin, and Keith C.. I know that I had given up movies for Lent, but they had decided on watching a movie since Hunter would be going back to Massachusetts. We watched Into the Wild that night after my Chinese class at Furman.
On Friday, I got the top set of my braces. That night, I went with my friend David to see a play called How To Succeed In Business Without Ever Trying at Riverside High. It was hilarious and exactly the kind of play that I had hoped to see. There, I saw my friends Keith L., Michael, Christopher, Andrew, Matt, and Brooke. While I was at the play, Eli had come over to my house and played a few games with Cassidy.
Saturday, Eli called from work and asked if I would want to go downtown because it was so beautiful. He picked me up after work and we walked around downtown before deciding to eat at Mellow Mushroom. Now, with my braces, it was fiarly difficult to eat. I did, however, eat three pieces of cheese pizza, cut up, and a soft salty pretzel.
Sunday was Eli and my 34 month mark. We chose to celebrate via picnic by the Reedy River. When we finally parked downtown in the Bowater Parking Garage, we realized that there was an Irish festival going on. We were able to enjoy our picnic with the liveliness of downtown Greenville. After the picnic, I went to church and then on to his house for the Sunday night movie. For those of you who are wondering: during Lent, you are allowed to endulge yourself in your given up activity on Sundays. We watched Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.
