FORMAL 'THANK YOU'

Dear all,

We just want to say a big THANK YOU to every single person who came out and supported the A/APA Formal, "Night Out on Broadway". Hopefully, all of you had an amazing time =) Also, an even bigger thank you to everyone who helped make Formal possible by joining a planning committee and/or lending out a hand whenever we expressed the need for manpower. You guys are amazing and we couldn't be able to pull off an event this big without everyone pitching in. I'm sorry that I can't name all those who helped but you know who you are...thank you thank you thank you!

Have a good week and I hope your stomachs are protruding like mine is because of Thanksgiving Potluck...oooOOOHHhhhh yyyeaaaaAAAAHHhhhh belly so fat.

WATCH THE METEOR SHOWER TOMORROW. THANK YOU AND GODSPEED.

WEEK IN OYFAN

Last Week's WiOYFAn: Riz Magalong

Remember: The first person to correctly guess who this weeks WiOYFAn is gets to be the next one!

1. If you could choose three people dead or alive to have dinner with, who would they be and why?

My three individuals of choice would be:

  1. Jesus, so He could answer all of the questions that I have that no one else can.
  2. The guy/girl who invented Crocs so I could tell him/her what an idiot he/she is. Just saying. BUT if you're a nurse/doctor/person in the medical field, I know why you get them. It's cool, man...no one's mad at you.
  3. Megan Fox because she's really hot and I kinda want to see what's really good with that messed up thumb.
2. If you were going to have a book written about your life, what would you want the title to be? And what would be the title of the chapter of this point in your life?

The title of the book written about my life would be "Thuglife.", and the chapter of this point in my life would be "Hard Times is Real Times - UVA Don't Play".

3. If there was one song that you could have playing every time you walked into a room, what would it be and why? Geto Boys

"Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta". You already know.
