Summer was fantastic! Babysitting was extremely stressful, but totally worth it =] Softball... I have never loved playing a sport more =] even though we lost [almost?] every game, it doesn't matter, because it was SO much fun!! Camp was a blast, as always, but a little sad considering it was my last year as a student. I got a lot closer to my friend Cam, which was awesome!! The summer went by entirely too quickly for my liking, between working and getting ready for college, oh, and getting my permit! But summer always ends.
Well, I'm in COLLEGE! How crazy is that? I'm actually two days away from being done with my first semester. Pure insanity, in my opinion. I don't know what happened to the past four and a half months! Well, I am LOVING college, like, a LOT. I have made some totally awesome friends =] Kirwin, Jasmine, MaryKate, Jeff, Ian, Tim, Kiana, KV (Kayla), Bailey, Anna, Jesse, Antonio, Jenna, Krystal, Jackie, Earon, Nina, Ethan, Chevy, Brittany, Britters, Kiarra, and 50 FABULOUS girls that have captured my hearts, which would be the members of the Eta Sigma Chapter of Sigma Sigma Sigma - yes, I joined a sorority, and I love every second of it =]
My roommate and I are BEST friends - MaryKate Barkley =] We know practically everything about each other; when it comes to boys, food, drinks, favorite flowers, habits, length of showers, what foods we don't like but are convinced that we do (and every time we are wrong, of course), just about everything. We are extremely similar in our personalities (especially our cleanliness... or lack there of, haha).
I've experienced college finals, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm not a big fan, haha. I got a B in Chemistry, and an A in FYE (an english class - First Year Experience), and an A in Genomics.
OH, speaking of Genomics... it's my new love. I love it SO much, that I'm considering changing my major to research or to medicine, Pediatric Oncology to be more specific =] I'm trying to find a summer research internship for next summer at Washington University or the Donald Danforth Plant. Paid to do something I love? Bring it on =]
I've discovered my ultimate hatred of public speaking. You'd think I would be good at it, considering how much I like to write... and talk. But nope, put me behind a podium, make me stand up in front of people, and I'm a horrible mess. I was hoping to overcome this in 3 weeks... fail. But I've made improvements.
I am no longer in a relationship. Not sure if I mentioned on here that I ever was, but I was dating a boy (emphasis on the boy there), who I was convinced was the most amazing guy ever. Well, he wasn't. He was sleeping with another girl while we were dating. Yeah, ouch. Oh well, that was two months ago, and I heal more and more each day =]
I am loving college way more than I ever expected. I mean, yeah, I thought I would enjoy it. But... at Culver-Stockton, I have never been happier. Never. I feel like I am on top of the world. There are days that aren't so good, sure, but for the most part, there isn't a part of the day that I'm not smiling or laughing. Time is just sailing past, and that makes me sad, because I don't ever want this to end. It's not even like I'm getting caught up in the party scene or anything like that. Sure, I've gone to a party or two, but its mostly just spending time with my friends, getting into snowball fights, drives to Quincy or Dollar General, or County Market, chilling at the DU (a fraternity) house, or spending time with my sorority sisters. I spend a lot of time at my friend Jeff's house because I love his family =] They are my home away from home, really.
This semester has been beyond amazing. There has been SO much change that I wasn't sure if I could handle so much all at once, but I did, because GOD is amazing =] Now that it's the end of the semester, I'm sitting back and taking a deep breath, because the initial rush is over. Now I have to tackle a crazy class load next semester: Gen Chem II, Literary Theory, Zoology I, Genomics, and then lab for Chem and Zoology. Classes 9-3:45 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, and then 9:15-11:15 on Thursdays.
I spent Thanksgiving at my grandma's, and that was a ton of fun. I spent most of the few days I was there with her, showing her pictures, and helping her in the kitchen or with sudoku or crossword puzzles. We went shopping because silly me left my tennis shoes at the hotel, so all I had was flip-flops haha
OH, I also got braces, that's new...ish. I got them in August. Things seem to be going well. Well, for my teeth. As for my braces and I... it's a hate-hate relationship.
Umm lets see. I've dyed my hair - its a super dark brown, almost black at times. And I got it cut... again. I have side-sweeping bangs, and it comes to about my chin... not even. I love it... a lot.
Erm, well I can't believe that Christmas is in just over a week - thats wild! I can't wait for this break, starting on Thursday and going until Jan 10th =] I'll be getting my license just after Christmas, and I THINK I'm getting a car this weekend. So that's pretty exciting.
I can't think of anything else, haha, so I'm going to end this crazy long post! Love you all!! =]
