I have exactly one hour and 20 minutes until my german exam.

I have mostly studied for it, but need to cram the vocab in.
i am over it, and want to surf the web instead. haha i am sitting in our brand new library, we have like pods with 8 computers around a circle. its kinda weird, but this is the only computer lab on campus. so its really crowded. luckily i got a computer... to do some work. right.

anyways. i cant believe its already the middle of november. When did this happen? A friend told me the summer before i started college that your freshman year goes by fast, but every year after that goes by even faster. I didnt think it was possible. It is. when i was in germany the time flew by, this semester doesnt even compare. wow. we have like less than 20 days before christmas break. i guess i should start thinking about exams. blah! already?!

Life. well whats been going on? hmm where did i leave off? Fall break. wow. feels like ages ago.... why is it like that? that time feels like it is speeding up, even though we have so many conveniences to help us make things quicker.

school: is going fine, like i said its almost the end of the semester! i have a german presentation today too about islam in germany. it should be interesting. I was interested in learning about Islam and the muslim culture. its awesome, and i really like it... send me to TURKEY! please! haha

akpsi: oh man. its been crazy trying to get everything in order, we have had a lot of events that went ok. today we have the auditor of state coming to speak to the university. i hope people show up... its a big deal! sometimes i feel like people cant talk to me because i am vice president, and i miss my friends in akpsi. i am always up front.... elections are coming up soon. I have my position all year, but it should be interesting to see who wins....

RA: my residents are ok... kinda keep to themselves. but whatever. I had a meeting this past monday to speak to them about bathroom cleanliness... everyone was having different expectations and it was getting out of control for no reason. I am just about done with programming, i had a study abroad program which was ok, only 2 residents showed up but a bunch of ras from other buildings came, and i guess that 3 of the people who showed up made appointments to try and study abroad. so thats what its all about! and yesterday we had " Learn how to Swing Dance" It was a hit! We had about 20 people show up and my two friends who are in the ballroom dance society came and taught us for about an hour. It was so much fun and the perfect amount of people! :) I really enjoyed it and want to do it in the spring .... like i have time.. who am i kidding. I am not sure where I want to be an RA next year, i am thinking of going back to community bathroom, i danno it just seemed like my residents were more like to get out and play! haha we will see, i have a few weeks to decide. All i know is that I cant afford not to be a RA, life is so expensive...


Speaking of expensive, i really want to go to Christmas conference with crusade from dec 28- jan 1 but at the moment, i cant afford it.. hopefully i can get a scholarship or something. i have never gone and i think it would be awesome.

i am really loving my life group at my church, we did a class called Bible Essentials. and it was a basic bible class explaining anything you ever wanted to know about the bible. It was interesting and I knew alot of it but found somethings out that were neat. A few sundays ago we directed traffic (my Church is huge!) and it was hilarious and so much fun! We are doing it this week too! My new mentor is really great, we are doing a study on "When godly people do ungodly things" by Beth Moore (who is an amazing author/devotional writer!) she is amazing and really challenges you to look at yourself. its great and we have so much to talk about and learn from each other. Last week Ed got to speak in front of crusade about his time in canada this summer. He really did a great job, and i was proud of him. He is trying to encourage other guys to go on the summer project!

I have been working out again. Ed and I started to... well its mostly me. He is hard to wake and get out of bed to meet me at the rec. oh well every little bit helps right? I have been trying to eat better and more balanced. I am just sick of being unhealthy and eating fast food crap. haha


christmas is around the corner. I dont want much, but I have complied a list

• tennis shoes
• study bible
• brown flats (dress)
• workout dvds (for my dorm room when it snowy!)

i mean thats not alot i guess but its a start? haha

OK now that i have only an hour left until my test it is crunch time.


I think thats all for now...

ciao!


See you soon! YUM THANKSGIVING! I cant wait!!!!!!! real food! Family! FUN!

I have been so bad at updating this.


I will soon I promise. Give me a until thursday.... haha

thanks all you faithful readers...


seee you soon.

is it really october? its so nice. like i love my fall clothes and everything, but man this is wonderful.

speaking of wonderful, i have recently made it back from mississippi. Honestly it was great and went way too fast. I had a blast getting to know my brother better, hanging up tyvek (stuff that goes around the houses), eating wonderful southern food and seeing a place i called home last summer. It was great to see everyone out of their element and stretch their boundaries and try their hardest to risk even more than they would think they ever could. (if that made any sense). for me to go back it was unreal. it has developed so much since i had been back. For me alot has changed, but for people who it was their first time to the pass they were shocked on how it looked like the storm hit yesterday. or at least last month. We are trying to get the word out, about how there is alot for us college kids to do. I would love for it to be in the collegian and we got it on our national website, akpsi.org. next thing is a thank you letter to our supporters and a college of business newsletter. But we have decided we don't want it to be all about us, we want it to represent that college kids can make a difference and there is so much more of a difference to be made. after two years, the work is no where near being done.

school days.

i love the 80s....

work it girl....
here are my bffs from akpsi. LOVE these psi delta girls. and ethan. missed them so much when i was in germany.

here is my big and i, she came back to visit. i def love and missed her. she started to cry, she hates being all grown up...
PUMPED for this weekend and all of the craziness thats going to happen being 21 and everything. YIPP!!!

lots of party, fun, food, friends, presents and family! yesss favorite.


catch you on the flip side guys....


ciao

remember when i said i knew what i wanted to do.

i lied.
i have no idea. i am acctually thinking really i dont want a real job until i am 27. that seems like a good age. why? because i am 20(almost 21!) but have no idea what i want to do with the rest of my life at the moment. like what if what i decided and spent thousands of dollars on i hate in 5 or 10 years. really? what will happen then? blah. whatever.


and then last night god was soo cool. I joined this biblestudy/homegroup from my chruch in toledo. my chruch up here is huge, like the chapel but bigger and more modern. like the chapels youngest son or something. anyways, since its so big its hard to get to know anyone and yeah that makes it difficult to be at home at chruch. so i searched around, and didnt have to look far but there is a group that meets on monday nights (which works perfectly for me!) and yeah, i found someone to give me a ride (i dont have a car and its wayy to far to bike) so yeah and last night it was really cool just to be real with these people. annddd there was a girl there that i knew from the chapel. like i mean we wernt best friends or anything but i regconized her face and was like ah! i know you. she goes to bg and its really weird like such a small world.
anyways, this is exactly what i needed and i am so thankful for god to provided me. like wow. and i am really excited to see where god leads us. anyways.

today work is slow. its beautiful out and i cant wait to go to mississippi for fall break. its going to be awesome.


yay for upcoming fun in september and october. SO busy.
1- Big little night!
2- football season!
3- birthday

5-fall break and heading to mississippi
6-ed and i two year !!
7-halloween
8-novemeber.

where did the semester go? hahah

hitch hiking

i just want to run away.

run away from all this madness.


do i like it? i dont think so.
do i want more of this craziness? no thanks.
I barely have time to eat. let alone excerise, read, play, talk, grab coffee and socialize. why?

i want to be done with school. i think i am getting senioritist alittle too early. i am just so OVER this call thing. i have already spent four years in college (yahhoo akron.) and i am like blah. are we there yet? but what and where is "there"?

maybe its because i think i know what i want to do. or have a clue. and its getting me excited and ready to be done. maybe its because i start to think of how much money i am in debt. maybe its because i think about all this stuff that i am "learning" but will never once use in my job.

eh. blah.

other than that i am having a wonderful day.
and it seems to me that i have fallen head over heels for this boy, again. its so weird. like i have a big crush on him. but he is already my boyfriend! haha oh well

ciao
