Goodbye 1B

Well, our time in 1B has officially come to an end. Finals have ended, papers turned in and summer time has begun. Everyone is gone and our beloved apartment will get inspected (followed by some lovely fines for us I am sure), clean, dirtied again in the name of improvements and come September 8 new people will move in and have no idea that they have a blog. Jess, Katie, Anna and Sheena graduated on Saturday and will be moving on to jobs, graduate school and many years of sign language studying. Jenn and Randi will be embarking on their senior year at SU and will be moving next door to 1C (blog to follow?? ...probably not) with little Tresa while Kelly's moving to an apartment but will be visiting 1C frequently whether she knows it or not. :)

So, here's to 1B and all the fun times we have had.

Rumpelstilskin (spelling?)

Tresa, fellow 1Ber, played the part of Rumpelstilskin in a second grade production once upon a time. We have uploaded the highlights..please enjoy:

Community Mourns the Loss of Beard

as many of you now know and may be in mourning about...Nick Patria's beard is no more.

the question on most of our hearts is this: what does this mean for the rest of us and the SU community as a whole...or possibly the world?

Nick claims to have valid reasons for shaving the beard off, but many of us in 1B can't help but wonder if perhaps the beard, in all its might, became too powerful for Nick and fell off on its own.

Did the secrets the beard held become too great for Nick, which forced him to shave it off?


What does this mean for the rest of us?
How do you as a reader think Nick's faithful, loving llama Buck Nasty feels about the situation?
Could the llamas emotional distress affect the Buck Nasty season?
will the loss of a beard mean the loss of a championship & end Nicks quest for a championship t-shirt?
OR did the beard really not have the powers that it claimed?

The exciting lives of Jenn and Randi

This past weekend Jenn and Randi attended the Youth Evangelism Conference (YEC) in Baltimore. The trip began with the wondrous "FWAWA" van containing Yodahe, Amanda, Jenn, Andrew T, Pat (the navigator), Josh (the driver), Kellyshugs, and myself (Randi). We arrived at Mount Pleasant Church Friday night and were immediately put to work. Throughout the weekend we got to "pump up the party" before sessions and act as security during concerts of Hawk Nelson, Da Truth, and Devin and some other guy that I can't remember his name who challenged us to "throw our V's up"Throughout the weekend the youth (middle-schoolers and high schoolers) got to hear awesome speakers, spend time in worship, attend breakout sessions and go to various service projects throughout the city. We worked more of the behind the scenes things and did not get to really hear from the youth directly but witnessing them worship and seeing them pray and many accept Christ was an amazing experience in itself. Anyway, very long story short, it was an amazing weekend and it excited my heart (yes, that makes sense) but I'll let some pictures speak for themselves.
The following does not describe the weekend at all, it's just funny:

How To Lose Fat In Your Face?

No worries. Tresa and I were concerned with the amount of facial fat we have and we decided to google the issue. We came across this article from Good Housekeeping. It gives seven steps to lose that fat!

Lose Facial Fat

No one wants to look like this!

Sparkling Clean!

hey guys!
So the actual 1B apartment was kinda boring, but again, we are not 1Boring. I did wash the couch covers which was very exciting! So please be gentle and careful when sitting on the couches. Anna and I also washed our kitchen sink...and it is now sparkling clean!--atleast for now. Yeah, that's about it..spring break soon! woo!

Jedi Beard?

In honor of Nick's beard...how do you feel about this beard?

Do you think it is a dreamcatcher as well? Does this man have Jedi powers? Does he get carded? There are so many questions to ask.

Feel free to leave your answers.
