On Monday, I went to West Fargo. I was not very happy about leaving the comfort of MSUM, and driving 75 mph on I-94 in the snow and wind, but I went anyways. I went there because my Construction Management class was touring a house that was under construction. The idea behind it was to get us interested in construction, and see how the process works (most of the class already has experience in construction, but I don't). When I got to the house, I wasn't too happy, but went through with it. When I finally got in the house, I got excited. Not necessarily because of the construction process, but the design portion. I hated how the house was designed, some of the rooms were too small, and some were too large, it is definetly the way I wouldn't design a house. Now, I am very excited to start my architecture classes, and I can't wait to design houses. Only 5 years of school left!
I just thought I'd share this with all of you.

Howdy!
The picture on the top is Me, Natalie, Molly, Christina, and Alissa. The one on the bottom is me, before my hair went flat.
Hi all, sorry it's been a few weeks since I posted something interesting, but I was waiting until something interesting happened.
On Friday (Feb 17), Me, Natalie, and Alissa went and saw Date Movie. It was definatley a guy movie, but we had fun trying to figure out which movies they were spoofing. They had spoofs of Notting Hill, How to Lose a Guy in 10 days, Kill Bill, Jerry McGuire (i know that's spelled wrong), My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, and Pimp my Ride. Parts of the movie were pretty disgusting, but it was funny anyways.
On Saturday, I had to work, but after that I went out dancing with my friends, that's why we are all dressed up. We had tons of fun, I love to dance! After the dance, we went out to Perkins, and just hung out some more. So it was a pretty fun weekend.
This weekend I have to work at the box office, we have a play called: As Bees in Honey Drown. I've never heard of it before, but oh well. Then next weekend, Melissa and her cousing Trista, and even Trudy are coming up to Moorhead, and were gonna go to the Barn Dance! I can't wait!
Well, I should probably get back to work. Talk to y'all later!

FM JETS DESTROY BILLINGS 13-0, CLINCH PLAYOFF BERTH
Its not too often that when a goaltender such as B.J. O'Brien (Lakeville, MN) records a shutout, that it almost becomes a forgotten part of a game.However, O'Brien's 28-save performance is a mere footnote in a night that saw the Fargo-Moorhead Jets offensive stats get more bloated than a fat man at Thanksgiving.The Fargo-Moorhead Jets used eight different goal scorers to route the Billings Bulls 13-0 at the Carlson Coliseum before 1,080 fans Friday night.The victory officially clinches a playoff spot for the first-place FM Jets.Suffice to say, it is a nght that rewrites many of the FM Jets' offensive records. In the team's 170th game in franchise history, the FM Jets score the most goals they ever have in a game (13) and most in a period (6).On a night where he was honored as the franchise's new all-time leading scorer, Phil Fox (Stillwater, MN) scored four-goals for the second consecutive game.Veteran Robert Carr (Roseau, MN) netted two first period goals to earn his first-ever multiple goal night.Dane Bushey (Duluth, MN) scored two goals back-to-back in the second period to earn a multiple tally night.Quietly, Matt Moreland (Grand Forks, MN) had three assists.When the dust settled, the FM Jets had 17 of their 18 skaters record at least a point in the game that was virtually over before it even started.The FM Jets went on a power play only 18 seconds into the game, and scored just as quickly when Ryan Cramer (International Falls, MN) scored on a scramble in front only 33 seconds into the game.The FM Jets led 3-0 before the game was seven minutes old, were up 4-0 after the first, and had a 10-0 lead with still 10:04 left in the second period.By the time Kai Kantola (Raleigh, NC) capped the scoring with a breakaway goal at 14:41 of the third, Billings had already rotated their goaltenders twice and the majority of the crowd (which for the most part stayed until the end) was on its feet.Prior to this goal barrage, the franchise had never scored more than eight goals in a game. In the process, the 13-goal night surpasses Helena's 12-goal output on Dec. 9, 2005 as the highest single-game goal production by a team in the North American Hockey League this season.Fox's four-goal night earns him his second "Texas Hat Trick" in less than a week after scoring the franchise's first-ever "Texas Hat Trick" on Feb. 4 in Bozeman. Fox now has 54 career goals and is one shy of tying for teammate Chris Myhro for the most goals all-time by a FM Jet.Fargo-Moorhead continues their three-game homestand, with the second game Feb. 11 against the North Iowa Outlaws at 8pm at the Carlson Coliseum.
*I know I keep posting things about the Jets, but I was just so excited after this game I had to share it with everyone. It was an amazing game! I got to watch the Jets score 13 goals, and hang out with all my friends in Moorhead, what a fun night! We're going again tonight, I can't wait. I'll post something real soon.
