Whoops! I knew it had been awhile since I blogged last but didn't realize it has been that long! It has been so long that I can't really even remember all what has happened since last time.
I guess the biggest thing was spring break 3 weeks ago. The week before that was midterms which was kind of crazy! Almost every day that week I had 1 or 2 tests. It was stressful. So I was very happy for it to be spring break, and because I just wanted another break! I had stayed up here at school the 2 weekends before that as well, so it made going home that much better. I wish I could say I went somewhere warm, but I just went home. But it was still a really nice break. Didn't do a whole lot other than just relaxing for the most part. I got to hang out with Heidi who was also home for spring break, so it was nice that our breaks lined up! I was also able to go to Living Hope's showcase which was great! Overall it was just nice not having to worry about school for a week!
Also, since the last time I wrote I decided what I'm going to be doing next year. It wasn't easy, that's for sure! I went back and forth and back and forth. Did a lot of thinking and praying about it. But I decided to come back to school here next year. I'm going to be rooming with a girl I met last semester in my biology class who I also have a class with this semester. We get lunch together on the days we have class and a few other times as well. We both get along really well. I'm glad that it worked out for us to be roommates. The one thing that would have made it so much harder coming back next year would have been having to go in blind for a roommate. It's still going to be quite different for me having a roommate, but it will be easier knowing the person!
It's crazy thinking about next year and how this year is almost over. I can truly say that I am so looking forward to summer! Not only for the warm weather but also just for a break from school. We are in the home stretch..! I have 4 1/2 weeks of classes, plus finals week. I have a lot to do before then but am looking forward to it!
Also I'm really looking forward to warmer weather! This winter has been so gross..I am so sick of cold weather and snow! Although it's spring, it really hasn't felt like it yet. This week it was cold and snowy/rainy again. It's supposed to warm up a little this weekend so that would be great!
Prayers for these next few weeks till the end of this semester would be appreciated! Need to stay focused and continue to work hard! Gotta end strong (:

Update
Well it's about time for an update again!
Last week was kind of crazy busy. I had 4 tests in the week, 3 in one day, on top of a bunch of homework. Then this week I had another test and one bigger homework assignment. But other than that this week has been so much easier and less busy!
A couple weekends ago there was a shooting here at school. I was so thankful that I decided to go home that weekend. It was scary knowing that it was happening even being at home. You always hear about a lot of shootings but never really think it will happen at your own school. After a long day they finally caught the guy. So that was a relief!
This past weekend I stayed up at school for the first time this semester. There were hockey games so I thought I'd stay up here and go to those. I ended up not even going to either of them because the people I thought I'd maybe go with all left for the weekend. So it wasn't a very eventful weekend at all. I'm going home again this weekend which I'm really excited about!
The weather has gotten a little bit better. This week is still kind of chilly but it hasn't been snowing much so that's good! Yesterday was awesome weather with the sun shining. It's crazy how much of a difference it is with the sun out! At one time in the day when I was outside walking it was 9º but with the sun shining it was bearable and felt pretty good. Rather than today where it was in the 20's and very windy. Sounds like next week is supposed to warm up a bit though, then we'll have a nice sloppy mess (: But spring would be much appreciated soon.
Speaking of spring....spring break starts 3 weeks from this Friday, which is crazy to think about! This semester seems to be going pretty fast so far. But, I'm definitely looking forward to a break again.
My favorite song lately has been Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) by Hillsong United. I absolutely love the bridge at the end and thought I'd share the lyrics.
Spirit Lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
Such a great reminder!

Brrrr
Well we are officially 3 weeks into this semester.
Things have been going pretty well for the most part. I definitely have more homework this semester than last semester. So in a way that's nice to keep busy with, but yet again not because who likes homework? not me :) I've had a few quizzes already and next week have my first tests.
It's been different for sure not having a close friend here but I'm making it work. It's nice having some people I know from last semester and what not to be able to go get food with. So far I've gone home every weekend, just because I'm not sure what I'll do on the weekends. But it's always nice going back home and spending some time with my family and eating at home!
Also it has been freezing cold lately! I wanted a snow day so badly yesterday or today..but no such luck! Not really a fan of walking 10+ minutes in -3º plus adding on to that the wind with the windchill of like -20! It's not very enjoyable. But oh well, do what ya gotta do! We don't have as much snow here as we do at home so that's probably part of the reason for not having a snow day. Right now the sun is peeking out and that's always nice to see even if it doesn't help warm it up at all!
That's about all I got..nothing to exciting happening lately! Better go do some homework before heading back out into the cold (:

2nd Semester
Well since I didn't get the chance to yesterday I thought I'd update today. Yesterday was the start of second semester.
Christmas break was really good! Having a month off from school was fabulous. It was great hanging out with friends and family again. Relaxing and enjoying the Christmas season. The only "bad" thing about the long break was coming back. I think after having such a long break it made it that much harder to come back.
Another thing that made it harder coming back was finding out that Emily wasn't coming back. Last week Thursday she told me she was going to GRCC this semester. She had literally just decided that. So that was really hard for me to hear. She was the one I hung out with the most and did like everything with here at school. I went to church with her and she brought me home. So the next few days were a little rough for me. It made coming to school so much harder. It still isn't easy but things are slowly getting better.
I know that this is all a part of God's plan for my life, but that doesn't make it any easier! That day after I found out I was in the car driving and the songs that came on the radio were just perfect for me. Later that night my mom was telling me some quotes she had seen on Facebook that were so fitting for me. And I had the same thing the next few days when I was on pinterest. I found something yesterday that just really stood out to me. It's a quote by Louie Giglio.
"God is using your present circumstance to make you more useful for later roles in his unfolding story."
This couldn't be more perfect for me right now! I know this semester isn't going to be easy but I just need to have faith and keep believing that it is all a part of His plan for my life. It's always amazing how God places things in your life at just the right time. I have this coming Monday off so I'm excited to be going home again on Friday!
Continued prayers for this semester would be appreciated. Prayers that God might place someone in my life and that he will use me this semester! Also just that my classes will go well. And also for health! Especially in these winter months.
Thanks :)
