Until Further Notice

Don't hate me, my faithful readers! But this blog is going to be dormant (I know, it already is) until further notice. I'm going to be focusing more on my other blog, http://adevelopingstory.blogspot.com , which is going to be sharing some photos I've taken, and the stories that come from them.

So, if you want to catch up on what's going on in my life, go to http://www.myspace.come/inimitable1

Otherwise, check out the new blog!

Happy Sabbath!

Well, I guess I need to post more... I just dont have time! I'm hardly ever in my room, and when I am, I'm doing homework! (or should be. you know how it is)

Right now, I'm freezing. The whole time we were gone on break, it was WARM here at school! But once we got back, we had about 2 nice days, and it's been in the 50s ever since. I really want warm weather! I'm really not much of a cold person...

I'm waiting for Jordan so we can head to church. Thats a good thing about school here... Church isn't so early! There are probably 5 different times you can go, and a dozen different churches. Just gotta be signed out of the dorm by 10:30. Wahoo!

I'm having an issue with my foot too... I dont know what I did to it, but my right foot feels like I have a tendon pinched off, or something. I dont know. but it hurts! I've been wearing flip flops all the time just because shoes hurt. Wore them to vespers last night, and wearing them to church today cause there is NO WAY I'm wearing heels. Tried this morning just to see if it was possible, nope. Oh well.

Well, I really have nothing more to say right now... so I guess I'll say goodbye for now, and maybe I'll write again soon. heehee

Hello loves!

Hey folks!
Yeah, it's been a while since I've posted. Sorry about that. Been busy, getting through midterms, getting ready for spring break. But I've been having fun. School is awesome! The weather has been kinds crazy though. Beginning of last week was cold and windy, but by Wednesday, it was up to the 70s.

Right now, Jordan and I are in Washington D.C. area, actually SIlver Spring, MD. We're staying with Jordan's Aunt Karla while we're here, and having a blast. The plan is to explore D.C. and take some pictures for our final project for our photography class. So far, we're having fun.

Tonight we're just relaxing. Gonna be watching the Oscars later. I haven't had much interest in them in the past, but I've seen almost all the movies nominated this year, so I want to know how my favorites do in the awards.

Gonna head out now. My tea is getting cold.

Much love!

Sorry!!

I know.... it's been a month since I last wrote... I'm sorry!! I've hardly spent any time in my room, there's always something else to do! something more fun then sitting in my room!

Like taking pictures! My photograhpy class is THE BEST class ever. I love it. Black and White photography has become my new love. (dont worry, Jordan is still in the picture.) I am however in search of a new camera. Mine is just not up to par for this class, which is disappointing, and an inconvienience, cause not Jordan and I have to share his camera. Eek! But it's all good.

The weather down here is totally crazy. This week especially. Saturday, Sunday and Monday we had snow in the mornings. Yes, it was melted by about 11am, but there was enough of it to make everything white. It was pretty! Then Tuesday was just bleh, and Wednesday was nicer, and Thursday was up in the 70s, and sunny!!! Yesterday it rained and was cold again, but warmed up a little by afternoon. Today we're supposed to get rain and sleet. Why can't it just make up it's mind to be sunny and warm?!?

Well, it's time for me to get ready for church. love and hugs!

a day of good deeds

Yes, here at Southern, Martin Luther King day is also community service day. And Jordan, Ben and I are going out to do some community service. Gonna be rough though, we picked a tough one... are you ready for this?

We are going to the park to make balloon animals.

Doesnt that sound hard?? heehee I think it'll be fun, as long as they dont make me dress up as a clown. lol Hopefully they wont!

So that's my plan for today. We are being served breakfast in the gym at 9, so hopefully my ride wakes up in time to pick me up! (oh Joooooooordan!!!!)

Gotta run! much love and hugs.

first week, done!

Well, I made it through my first week of classes, and I think I did well!! Got my homework done... in time. ;-) Been on the run most every day, either to a class, or to an orientation, or to spend time/study with Jordan. It's been fun so far. I am really enjoying being here at school.

My FAVORITE class so far (yes, I already have a favorite) is by far, Intro to Photography. It teaches REAL photography, on black and white film. so much fun! I have a 24 roll that I need to go through before next thursday, cause thats when I go in to develop my film. yay!!

Well, I've got to run. Got laundry I need to put away, and I"m sure there's other stuff I need to do. Much love and hugs!

first day of classes

Here I go! First day! and it's a busy one until 2-ish. But thats ok. I can do it. Wish me luck!

Southern!!

There it is! my dorm room! Well... parts of it.

Daddy and I got down here at 11am, Thursday morning. We drove almost all night. Sooooo tired when we got here! But we went through everything we had to do, FINALLY found my room, and got me moved in. Well, we got my stuff in. I didn't move in fully until Friday. Dad left Friday afternoon around 1, and got home at 6am Sabbath morning. He DID drive all night! crazy man!

I slept a lot Thursday and Friday, and almost slept all day Sabbath too, but I just couldnt sleep anymore! I was a little scared to go to church all by myself. The College Church is MASSIVE. But I did it!! And I survived!

Today I've been all over. I took my ACT this morning. That was brutal. Not the test, but sitting there for 4 hours! With only one potty break in the middle! Eek! But I survived that too. Then I kinda went all over campus. I walked to Brock Hall to meet my advisor, then walked allllllll the way to Hackman Hall and the library, to see how long it would take, since I have to make the walk tomorrow. I go to Brock first thing, then I have an hour til I have to be at the Library, which is the other end of campus. Then right after that I have to go BACK ro Brock for 12. Then at 1 I have to go BACK to Hackman Hall, which is right next to the Library! Whoo! No Freshman 15 for me! I'll be walking everything off!

I also ventured to the cafe for the first time, by myself. I happened to meet a friend from Camp on my way though, so I ate with him for lunch. For supper I ended up sitting with 2 new ppl I just met. We were all headed for the same table, so we just all sat there!

Bought my books today too. Fun stuff. HEAVY stuff. But I can do it. *oomph*

Let's see... what else...

OH YEAH! The ACT scores!!! I got them back today, just checked online a little while ago, and there they were! I needed a composite score of 18. I got.... drum roll please.

24!!!!!!

Yay me!! I called home (or had home call me) right away! Everyone there was cheering for me! Oh happy day!

Now I get to just putter around my room, being bored, trying to find something to do, maybe reading, maybe music, maybe munching, maybe even sleeping!! Jordan won't be getting here until late, so I probably won't get to see him until tomorrow. But! Our first class in the morning is together, so that's cool! We'll probably meet a little early too. I can't wait to see him!!!

Oh, I know what I need to do. I need to write out my thank-you notes. Can't keep putting that off!!

So thats what's been happening over the last few days. I'll post tomorrow (if I have time) and let you know how my first day of classes went.

Hugs and loves!

College Bound!

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful New Years. Mine was great! Jordan took me to Boston where we hung out with his sister Ashley, and his friend Ben, and Ben's brother. We went to the harbor and watched the fireworks at midnight, shared glasses of bubbly, and I got a kiss at midnight!! Such a good night!

And now the time has come. I leave for college tomorrow! I'm mostly packed. I'll get the last few things together tomorrow. I'm so excited!! Tonight at supper was kinda rough though. It was our last supper together. Mom told Dad to say the blessing, cause she knew she couldnt... and then Dad started choking up while he was praying... I almost lost it too! Tomorrow is going to be hard... I bet my Mom is going to cry all day. My sisters arent much better either. Leah started crying at supper, and both of them are asking me to stay home, saying I dont need to go to college. Ahh! I'm sure I'm gonna cry tomorrow. Doh!

Well, I've got the munchies, so I think I'm gonna go search for something to eat. Love you all! I won't be posting again until I'm in Tennessee!! Bye!
