So It's About That Time

Well, I let it happen again. I even started writing a post a few weeks ago, but then saved it as a draft and never came back to it.
But I'm back at school. I feel like I've been here for months, but I've only been back 3 weeks. I have lacrosse practices 4 days a week and I've already had a lot of fun being back with my friends. I'm taking Geography 101, which I can't tell if I like it or if it frustrates me, because it's such a joke. It's my easiest academic class, but I feel like it's such a waste of time. I'm also taking physiology, which isn't tooo bad. Yet. But quant. It is ridiculous. I have no earthly idea what is going on in that class. And my teacher knows chemistry better than I know english, so he doesn't understand the fact that no one in the class knows what he's talking about. So when I ask him a question, he just keeps repeating himself, and doesn't actually explain anything. So that's been a party. But most importantly, I'm taking karate. It is so fun. Virginia and a couple other of my friends are in that class, and it is by far the best class I've taken at Samford. Our "teacher" is named Sensei Karl. He has blonde hair and blue eyes, but talks with a 85% Japanese - 15% eastern European accent. It is odd. Naturally, I laugh about 50 out of the 60 minutes that we're there. I can tell that Sensei Karl doesn't like when I laugh out loud, so most of it is in my head.

All together school had been fun so far. Until this week. I just got really overwhelmed with all of the work I have to do (I have a physiology test next Friday and a quant test the next Monday, plus a bunch of little things), so I've been going 90 mph this week. Yesterday I was gone (talking to my teacher, class, lunch, lab, dinner, library, meeting) from 9:45 am - 11 pm. And today, basically the same thing (except the library after lunch, and babysitting and working in the RA office after dinner) so I left my room at 10:20 this morning, and I won't get back till midnight. And for some reason I've been getting up at 7 to go run. Needless to say, I am exhausted, which is making me be so whiney.

I got my letter that said I was officially accepted to McWhorter School of Pharmacy for the fall. But I'm not excited. Weeks like this week, and especially days like today just suck the life out of me. :C

Oh, but I did pro-deal a Mountain Hardwear down jacket and a pair of pants, and I got those in the mail Monday. They are perfect and I love them. The puffy jacket feels like I am just laying in a cloud, so that makes up for the thousands of pokes that have been delivered by Courtney and Bobby. Haha.

Hmm. Step Sing starts tomorrow night, so that should be fun. I don't know most of the themes, so I am really excited about going.

And next weekend we have our first two lacrosse games. They are home games against Alabama and Ole Miss.

Then after the 21st, my physiology and quant tests will be over and I can breathe for a second.

Spring break is in 4 weeks and 2 days. I cannnnot wait.

That's about it. I have to go watch and answer questions on a documentary about Muslims in France.
Sorry for the whining.


These pictures are from one of my last nights home.

So Boring

Well, I don't really want to blog right now, but I need to, or I never will.

I only have one and a half more days left at work. Get some. I know that I will actually miss it a little bit once I leave, but at the same time, I don't really feel like I've had a Christmas break. It's been more like a "Christmas let's do a different kind of work." But that's ok. I'm making money and learning a lot of pharmacy things. I know I will be very grateful once the summer comes and I need things like food and shelter and clothing in CO, and when I start pharmacy school in August.

Oh, pharmacy school interview on Thursday, January 27th at 9:00 am. So if you think about it, pray that God will give me the words to say and that'll I get accepted. When did I become big enough to be in grad school? I am a kid.

Here is a picture that I took when Virginia and I went kayaking. Kaleigh decided to add a little something special.


I've also been thinking about Noah's a lot lately, because David is applying and because I want to be there so badly, right now. So here is a picture of a couple of my good friends from my guide class. Minus the four boys on the right. But don't tell anyone I said that. They're nice.. We're just not besties.


Also, my brain is very confused. About something totally different. Wild Sweet Orange has a line in one of their songs, and it goes "Am I running away from what I've always been running towards?" And I feel like you can take that however you want, but right now I feel like taking it in my own way. About two different boys. No specifics, just in case of the random occurrence that they or someone either of them knows reads this. Well, I can give a general. An old boy, who I secretly have always hoped I could spend the rest of my life with has come back in my life. But his presence is actually pushing me towards a different boy. Oddity. I don't know. I love being a free bird and doing whatever I want, and I don't feel like I'm in a good place for a relationship right now, so everything I just said is kind of not important, but my heart is confused. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid I am possibly leading both of them on. Oops.

So the Sun Shines?

Well, ever since the day after I got home from school, I've been working at Pharmacy Services, at Mercy Medical Hospital, about 1.2 miles away from my house. I go in around 10 or 11, and get off around 6 or 6:30. I do have a lunch break from 1-2, but I haven't seen the sun in weeks. Except when I have seen it. But either way, I want to frolic in the sunshine. I want to just be free and wild and outside, not have to be shut inside with pills all day long. But I can see the day light (figuratively, not literally - it's 11:26 pm)! I work all day this Monday and Tuesday, but then only the morning on Wednesday and then I'm done! I have Thursday off, and then I'll go back to school on Friday! Yayy.

I really do like the pharmacy, I was just there a lottt this week. I have been working berry hard. Making bank. Learning tings.

This past weekend, Virginia drove over from Mississippi, and we went kayaking on Saturday, and then hung out with Katelyn, Bethany, Tyler, and Hayley on Sunday. So that was a lot of fun. I love Eb.

Also this past weekend, most of my friends went back to school. Well, the only important part of that sentence is that David went back to school. Most of my friends down here are punks, but Katelyn and I spent like every night of our break with David. We all built a bookshelf (which really just means that Katelyn and I watched him build it), and we had a bonfire, and we went on adventures, and all kinds of things. We had so much fun.

Let's see what else.

Oh yeah. Got a new car. Black 2005 Toyota 4runner. Get some.

Jeff found out that he is going to be able to come back to Noah's this summer, because his job won't start till August! Praise Jesus! I am so glad. Jeff is so cool and I can't wait to be at Noah's again together. Hopefully our parents will let us drive my new car out there.

I'm heading back to school on Friday. I'm nervous about my classes, but I am very excited about getting back to Samford and hanging out with errbody. I loove my Samford friends.

That was a lot of random facts/sentences thrown together. I am going to try to start blogging more than I did this past semester. We'll see what happens.

SB, I finally caught up on your blog. I love it. I love what God is showing you. I love you.
