Home Sweet Home

It felt so good to be home and be able to relax after a stressful week at school. This past week was kind of crazy and stressful at the same time. I had a big test in my harder class Thursday as well as other things due throughout the week. I was just really hoping to make it to the weekend!
Although I had a big test on Thursday, it ended up being a really good day overall. I was stressing out about the test in the morning but afterwards it was much better. The weather was perfect on Thursday. It was super sunny out and the temperature was just right. Walking around during the day I realized that the leaves were changing colors, somehow I had kind of missed that before..so that was a nice realization (:  Throughout the day I began to realize just to appreciate the little things because they really can make your day so much better.
Friday after classes I headed home with Emily. It was nice to be home again for the weekend! Saturday morning we went apple picking and it was perfect weather for it. Then after we got home I went for froyo with Kelly and later at night her and Anna came over. It was a lot of fun to catch up and hear about each others college experiences. So glad we were able to hang out!
This morning we went to church for the 50th anniversary service. It was cool seeing all the different pastors who've been there over the years and made our church what it is today. It was really nice to be back at my own church for a Sunday as well. I do like the ministry here on campus but I missed Haven! And now I'm back at school again. Tomorrow starts a new week and hopefully it won't be quite as stressful as last week.

Crazy

Well believe it or not, I've officially been at school for 4 weeks, a month next Tuesday. Things have gotten crazy lately, especially with homework. At times it can be overwhelming and you just want to make it to the next day. But overall it's not terrible. I've had a quiz and my first test yesterday which is always fun of course. Next week I have another test and that one I'm a little nervous about! A lot of studying will be required for that one. Hopefully it goes well though. 

Last week Friday my mom came to visit which was fun. We went out for lunch (a nice break from The Rock), and did a little shopping! It was nice seeing her again. 

Saturday was the first football game, vs. Lake Erie and thankfully we won! It was chilly but fun as well. Believe it or not I missed high school football games when I was watching ours. I miss doing the cheers with everyone and filling the stands. 

It's been cooling off over the past week, but then it got back into the 80's again this week. I'm realizing how cold and not fun the winters are going to be here! Of course I chose a school where the winters are ridiculously cold..oh well!

This weekend we might go to ArtPrize for something to do. It'll be weird not going with my family but it'll still be fun going with friends! 

Week 3

Crazy to think that it's week 3 already. Time is going by both fast as well as slow, which is a good thing. The homework load is slowly starting to pile up. There are plenty of times where I don't want to do it and just want to relax with everyone but I know if I start getting behind that I'll never be able to catch up. The main thing that is holding me back is my online class because it requires quite a bit of time. So when I think I'm done with homework..I'm really not. I will be glad when that class is over!

This weekend is the first home football game so that's exciting! Should be a lot of fun, even if it's supposed to be cold! My mom is also coming to visit Friday so I'm pretty excited for that! (:

This past Sunday morning I went to a ministry called His House here on campus with Kalon. We really enjoyed it and will for sure be going back other Sundays. Everyone was really nice and inviting. It's nice being with people who are around your age.

I've been talking with some friends recently and am starting to miss them. It's sure nice to be able to text and facebook chat and even sometimes skype though to keep each other up to date on our lives. Hopefully some of them will be able to come up and visit sometime.

Overall things are still going really well and I'm enjoying it!

Week 2

I had a great weekend at home. It was relaxing and better than staying at school when not very many people were around. It was nice to be home in the air conditioning! Also nice to be where there was carpet (: We didn't do to much but after they picked me up we went to the Whitecaps game for Dad's work party. Saturday I slept in which was wonderful and at night we went to Logan's with Dad's family. Sunday was church and went to the grandparents for lunch. Monday we celebrated Maisie's birthday and I came back up. So over all it was a good time. I was excited to come back up to school though.

Yesterday we started classes again. Of course getting more homework now as well. A few people have asked me what my hardest classes are and I would have to say either Microbiology or my online class, Medical Vocabulary. They are going to just be a bit tougher than the others. Yesterday I also didn't have 2 of my class so that was nice for a change! I am very glad that it's a shorter week, makes things a little easier. The temperature is also starting to cool off a little bit so that's nice! Still having a great time and loving it.
