Orange Colored Sky

Let's start with weekend updates! The NCAA playoffs road trip was a good time, got to meet Nikki and Abby and stayed in Hudson. The games were pretty awesome too but we ended up losing to St. Cloud. The Puckheads were on TV in the UP with what seemed like a direct feed from the arena, nothing was blocked. I heard that they showed me a lot doing the same Mojo dance. I was also told that I need to learn new dance moves... what other moves do I need at a hockey game!? We went to the second game on Saturday and decided to cheer against both teams (Wisconsin or St. Cloud). The night ended in Minneapolis partying it up with some guys from St. Cloud and ended up giving them a ride home.

Next road trip, to Milwaukee for Meet Me at Miller Park. The first game was cool with front row seats on the third base line. We got Braun's attention a few times and had a sign that said, "Ryan Braun stole my girlfriend." The third time we got his attention he finally saw the sign and kind of shrugged as if, sorry. The guys were yelling, "I really loved her, I thought she was the one" it was very entertaining. We ended up beating the Tigers this game and probably should've only played the first 3 innings since nothing happened after that. Everyone came over to my house to crash and we had a bonfire and hung out drinking some more. The following morning I didn't feel very well, allergies, and went to tailgate at 10am. We prepped for rain and put a tarp between two vans to grill and keep dry. This was fairly successful and by the time we were ready to head into the game the rain had stopped. This game was much better than the previous night. We were a few rows back on the first base line. The score of the game was the best with the Tigers ahead by the bottom of the 9th and then Counsell getting a great hit to win the game. The ball went to the second baseman and he threw it to the first baseman then he dropped it and Counsell was safe with the winning run going in. Easter dinner that night and hanging out with my family was nice, we talked finances and post graduation things. The following morning we went to Mequon for brunch with my Grandparents and Cousins with Aunt and Uncle. I met the newest addition to the Krause family, Ben. Oh! My mom found the coolest Easter gift's for the boys! She got a frog and a duck and they were soft puppets that made noise, the frog rib-bits and the duck sings 3 songs. They were the most fun to play with!

Last road trip before a break! I went to Eau Claire for the Viennese Ball. It was great fun to see my sister sing with the jazz band after hearing about it. She did a great job both nights and the dancing was exhausting. I never got to waltz but I wasn't going to try to find a guy to dance with. Spending time with my sister in EC was fun because I've never really gone out to the bars there. One of her friend's was buying PBR for me and him to anger my sister (she thinks that someone from WI shouldn't drink PBR). The second night was fun dancing with my parents, I won't try to swing dance with them till they've had more practice. It was no use trying to lead them to do something. The Frozen Four was won by Boston College 5-0, silly Wisconsin (they suck). It was a great weekend.

On to current affairs, only 2 weeks till graduation! I'm almost finished with my on-line class and my only worry is getting my MATC class transferred in time to have it on my transcript. I really hope that grade gets fixed soon!! I have only two finals during finals week and neither of them are cumulative! This semester is pretty simple as far classes go. I'm still looking for a job in New Orleans and seeing what's available but haven't applied yet. I have a few tips on jobs but not sure if any will work out. On to work on my theatre portfolio.

Upcoming events: Trout Fest (Kalkaska, MI), Doc in town, Graduation, Back to Milwaukee
