Post-Fall Break

Just got back a couple hours ago from being home since Friday. It was absolutely amazing. I didn't do much of anything, haha, just hung out with my family & Bradley and slept ... a lot. That was nice! I also spent the night at my mamaw & papaw's house on Friday night. I used to do that every Friday night, and it was so nice being back there.

Ah, I never realized how useful a Fall Break is. Don't think I can live without it now. :)

FALL BREAK is so close ....

I only have one thing standing between me and Fall Break - my H&C test tomorrow at 11. At 12 noon tomorrow I will be the happiest girl on the planet. After that it's 5 days at home. Ah, I am SO excited.

Tonight was fun! Jody, Cara, Maggie, Alex, and I studied and actually made it fun! I feel good about the test tomorrow, just a little more studying for tonight.

Been a While, eh?

Well, life's been crazy running back and forth between Seymour and CN. I spent this past weekend in Seymour, this coming weekend is Fall Break (FINALLY), and the following weekend I'll be going home for some Halloween festivities. 

Life's been good here, just writing papers and studying a lot. I do try to make time for myself every day though, namely in my quiet time and in something fun - TV, book, etc. I cannot BELIEVE I'm already halfway through my first semester of college. I remember thinking that as a freshman in high school, and now, here I am. God's blessed me so much.

Friday!

Got my first test back in H&C, and, praise be to God, I got a 96.5! I was so surprised (given my lower score on the H&C paper) and so very very happy. Also, I turned in my Art project that has been exhausting the life out of me lately; thank goodness that's over. Tonight I am going out with Megan and her Floridian family, and then later tonight I think I'll watch a movie with the ladies. Gosh, I've been so blessed with friends here, and I don't thank God enough for it.

Finally Done!

I FINALLY finished that darn art project. It was basically 3 paintings for 1 project. All in all I spent EIGHTEEN hours working on it over the past 3 days. I am EXHAUSTED. But, thank goodness, it's over.

Now I am watching the VP debate, and it's pretty interesting. I like Sarah Palin and am voting for McCain - darn, Palin's intimidating!

Thank goodness tomorrow's Friday, and on Saturday, it's Family Day which I am very much looking forward to!!

Cincinnati

Got back on Saturday from the Cincinnati trip, and it was wonderful. I had a great great time! We went to the Cincinnati Art Museum (I saw a Picasso and a Rembrandt ... pretty amazing). After that we went to see the play "Amadeus" ... which was great. It wasn't at all what I expected it to be, to say the least ... :) The producers were very loose with their PG rating. 

The next day we went to the Freedom Museum about slavery in America and worldwide, which was really interesting, but I was just so tired from the night before! Then we headed on home, and it felt so good to be back here. We were all just dead-tired. 

All for now,

Feeling good, feeling fine

Sitting out here under my "study tree" on the south side of Henderson. I am just enjoying life today. It's a beautiful day and why not sit outside and work on your Mac?? I am loving it! We leave tomorrow morning for Cincinnati on the Honors Trip - I am really looking forward to it. It will be nice to spend some time with fellow honor students and get to know them a little more.

Just got back from a meeting with Dr. Austin about my H&C paper, and he really reassured me about how it's coming along. His attitude toward the actual paper made me realize I was taking it a little too seriously, but that's a good thing - I'm glad he helped me to realize that. Just gonna polish it up tonight, and then not worry about it any more!! It's going to be a great time.
