Last week there was this thing called "Fall Mall Ball" (the big field in the middle of campus is called the "mall") and it's like a mini-fair, with the moonwalk and shaved ice and stuff.
And there was the rock wall.

Jas finally surfaces...! haha
Hey lovely ladies, sorry I haven't been doing this..naturally life is crazy for me right now. Also, I got the crappy free internet, so it doesn't work as well. I'll try to get pictures up of stuff, but that's kinda iffy. Well, here's the breakdown:
~dorm - LOVE IT my room is pretty and nice and way better the other dorms' (wahaha) and once I get more decorations up (and clean it....) I'll try to put a picture of it on here.
~roommate - she's great! her name is Karen (or "Ana", but she likes "Karen" better. long story). she's really nice and cute and doesn't barge into my stuff. :) She's Joni's height. or actually, maybe shorter. We get along pretty well, except she's ALWAYS on her phone texting or calling or what, and she also says "like" a lot. Like, A LOT. But nothing really bad.
~Dorm people - they're really cool too. I LOVE my RAs and the girls on my floor are awesome. It's not like in the co-ed dorms where there's drama going on every single day. Seriously.
~classes - they're pretty good. I moved my nightmarish three-hr lab from fri. afternoon to thurs. and it's actually not that bad. there's a guy in my lab that looks like a younger version of the guy from My Big Fat Greek Wedding. He looks at me. He's cute. ;) My bio lecture teacher creeps me out (longer story), and that class is the only one i really don't like, but I love my intro to music class and my spanish class is great too, except she goes REALLY FAST. Also, my teachers are actually more computer-savvy than i am, and a lot of our class stuff is online. Have to get used to that. My First Year Seminar (FYS) is great too, lots of fun.
~friends - Ian Drakeford is cool and he gives me music, but he lives in the dorm with all the drama, so he likes to tell me about it and i do not like it. Oh well. Brooke is awesome and we laugh a lot at each other. she's in my FYS. Becca is HILARIOUS. She reminds me of Dory from Finding Lukie *cough* i mean, Nemo. She's a musician too, and we want to take guitar lessons together if we can. She also is helping me get a music Myspace up and even though the vids aren't loading up, she got the background and it looks super cool: www.myspace.com/jasminesaygan. Speaking of music, I've been playing around campus every now and then, and everyone seems to love me! Like, i was hanging out with some of the girls on my floor last night and they made me play for them and they were clapping and getting all excited and talked about starting a fanclub. And then my RAs are EXTRA excited and tell all their friends about me. It's embarrassing and funny and also kind of nice. :) Oh, and then there's Marc. :) He's really sweet and cute and we're friends and he's in my FYS too and he makes faces at me in class. But I'm just having fun right now, no promises ;)
So that's most of what's been going on so far...if i told you about all of it, you'd have to take an intermission halfway through reading this post. Maybe you already do...haha ;) well, love you guys, and I'll check back in later!

Home.
We're all home today. Derek stayed home too. He thought he was getting a sore throat, which we all know for men means the world is about to end. He's not sick, yet. Derek's also taking tomorrow off for his birthday. Tracy sent him a gift card for Cold Stone Creamery, so we're going to see if they sell ice cream cakes. YUMMY!!! Mikey and I are still congested, but we both took nice naps today.
Good News! My friend Jen Hill is engaged! She got engaged last week and the wedding is going to be next May. She met the Jim on EHarmony - Jess, I thought you'd be happy about that. And guess what? She asked me to be a bridesmaid! That means I have 3 months to lost my baby weight. That GD diet is looking pretty good now.

Yuck in Mexico too...
It's raining and gross here! It floods pretty badly when it rains. So, I don't think I'll be getting out of the house today. It looks like a lot of HGTV and scrapbooking for me today! Or maybe just scrapbooking if the satallite doesn't hold up!
Joni - I hope you and Mikey feel better...and Happy Birthday to Derek!
Jen - I'll post the pictures from my trip soon!
Jack - Good talking with you!
Jas - Thanks for your snail mail address.
Talk to you all soon!

Yuck.
Mikey got a cold on Friday and now I have it. We're both really stuffy :( I hope we get better for Derek's Birthday/Mikey's 1/2 Birthday.
Marathon Sunday
We're having a Marathon Sunday with Mikey... it's 4:50 and he finally fell asleep 20 minutes ago in the car. He didn't want to sleep at nap time. He would play, have a meltdown, play, have a tantrum, play, and so on... It's been a LONG Sunday.

Marathon Sleeping.
I have to say the best thing about being on this show is the black out blinds in the hotel. I have been taking some of the best weekend naps EVER. With working late and going out for B*(^^H sessions with coworkers, the weekends is when I marathon sleep.
After going out for tapas and very large bloody marys with Ryan and Nicole today, I just took a great 1.5 hour nap to get ready for dinner with the P's and Joni. Tomorrow will be another day to sleep in.
Call me anytime on Sunday... If I don't answer, I'll call after I wake up.
PS, There is yet another wedding in the courtyard of the Kensington Court. I think I'll go out there and crash the wedding. I think I'll sit on the brides side.
I miss you guys... Jasmine, I hope you are having a good time down there.

Olympic Hopefuls...
I've been watching the Olympics EVERY NIGHT and am pretty into it. I'm sad it's almost over, but it will be nice to get to bed at a normal hour again. So, I've been thinking...the Say Gan's need an Olympian in the family. It's time to look to "the boys". There are plenty of sports to choose from...
Ian, "the shooter" Bonham - maybe he can be part of the Dream (or Redeem) Team of 2024?? If not, showing interest in beach volleyball and living in Cali, Ian could start down the path of being the next Phil Dalhausser!
Next Lucas with his LOVE of jumping on the bed - the Trampoline is a clear choice. HOWEVER, the kid also has lots of energy and agility, so maybe water polo would work? We already know he would look great in that helmet :)
And Mikey, that's easy. He has shown early promise in doing chores. So, there is only one sport for Mikey...Curling.
Ok - parents, start training! I look forward to cheering my nephews on in future Olympics!!!

One Shoe
Who knew having one shoe on and one shoe off would be so much fun! This video was taken after Mikey had his 3rd, and very traumatic, haircut. He looks pretty handsome.

Girls just wanna have fun...
Hola, all! Great idea, Jon'. Just wanted to say hey in Jess' adopted language :) and I wanted to try to attach a clip of the boys dancing to my music birthday card.
I'll post more later. Gotta take the Lukii to school for a visit!

So this is the beginning....
The Beginning of the SayGan Blog. This actually is something the Stoffers girls do, and it works. We keep in touch posting pics and videos. It's great b/c you can just post and not email EVERYONE... and I thought it'd be a good way for Jasmine to keep in touch with us and vice versa since she's going to be busy with school. I hope it works. If it doesn't, I tried. If someone has a good picture of the five of us, put it on or email me and I can put it on our page.
Just thought I'd add a picture of my bug in a rug.
