Football and Coffee

~Had a good time at the football game on Saturday regardless of the setbacks before hand. ...not to mention the Ags losing for the first time at Kyle Field all season. ...Surprisingly, still had an enjoyable game.
~Glad to see some people I hadn't for a while. Good to actually make contact with them- hadn't done that in a long time.
~Good times hanging out after the game and watching Blazing Saddles with some UCMers.
~Got to hang out with the parents, Andrew, Tara and Codie for a bit yesterday afternoon. Always amusing!
~Spent three hours in tutoring for Chemistry. --This test is going to be much harder than the last, and here's hoping I'm ready for it. Guess I'll just have to wait and see...
~Went to a coffee shop afterwards with Andrew, Tara and Stephen. Cool place- I had never been. I didn't get much studying done there though. Wasn't really in the mood. After being at 4.0 and Go I was kind of over it. However, when I got home I was up a few more hours kicking my Chemistry book and then reading some... Kick, read, kick, read... Kind of the pattern for the rest of the night.
Oh, how I love Chemistry!! ...

Lateness and Bummed

Late post for the past couple of days.
~Good day hanging out with the friends. One of my friends of high school is in town. It's really nice to see him around campus. He seems to be enjoying himself and fits in well. Unfortunately, he doesn't have plans to attend A&M next year, but we'll keep working on it! Maybe we can change his mind! ;)
~Fun group for Bible Study. I'm not one for large groups. Don't seem to do well in them. This bunch was nice and cozy. However, next week should have a bigger turn out and it shouldn't be too bad!
~Had a good time hanging out before Midnight Yell. However, I received some bad news that a friend that I had been looking forward to seeing, wasn't going to be able to make it down this weekend. Bummed me out. I wasn't in the best of moods for Midnight Yell. Sorry to everyone.
~Now, it's just time to continue hanging out with the friends in hopes that I, eventually, will get over whatever it is that I'm upset about. Life's too short to be bummed about the little things.

Happiness and Friends

Wonderful day.
Enjoyed my walk to class, as always. Nothing beats being bundled up on the way to an 8am and still feeling the breeze.
Had a good time talking with Stephen before PBF. And then when everyone else arrived, enjoyed talking and laughing with them. I do love the UCMers!
Glad to have my laptop fixed! It's no longer ghetto!
Loved talking with Tara for a while. Where would I be without her?? ...Probably lost somewhere! :)
Had fun going to the mall with Codie for some quality shopping time! I found out how much money I had extra, so I had to splurge... just this once!

Been a good day. This weekend will be alot of fun too, and I can't wait for things to start rolling. I have alot to look forward to!

Cold Weather, Great Friends, and School

Well this is interesting....

So I started a blog because they come highly recommended by a few friends to help reflect on things. I have completely fallen out of the online journal type things, but I'll give this a shot. See how far I can take it. :)



So lately things have been amazing.

The weather is changing and I'm absolutely loving it. I walk everyday from my car to class (about 20mins) and I am enjoying that part of the day better than any other! I used to hate the cold, but now, I love wrapping myself up in my big jacket and getting all cozy and still feel the cold on my face. I love it. I come home and get on Facebook (if you know me at all, you know that's the first thing I do when I come home!) and see that everyone has their status set to something about how wonderful the cold is. Indeed. The cold is absoluetly amazing.

So this past weekend, I went on a Fall Retreat with UCM. That was a blast. Ya know, Youth Groups were never my thing. I didn't enjoy my last one, and wasn't really sure when I started thinking about coming to this one. Andrew is apart of it, and had been telling me all about it and wanted me to give it a try. I wasn't too sure, but did anyhow, and now I love it. I couldn't imagine not being apart of it! In fact, I would know very few people around campus and spend my time in class and in the apartment, and no where else! UCM is really awesome, and I'm glad I stuck with it. The retreat was alot of fun. We had an enjoyable ride up there, which got the weekend off to a great start. It was exciting to get to know everyone a little better and see relationships form amoungst the group. We had a camp fire on Saturday night, and it was very entertaining. Tara and I danced to country music that was being played at a concert down the road we all made samores and sat around talking and laughing. Not all of UCM went on the retreat, but the ones who did made the group wonderful. I don't like big groups much, and the size of this group was perfect. Made for a nice touch to the weekend!

School is hard. I'm not doing too well in Biology, which is rediculous because I had that in high school and should be better at it. I'm working hard, but for some reason, I'm not getting the results I want. People keep telling me that it's the first semester and I shouldn't worry about it too much, but I can't help it. I'm worrying alot about my grades, which is weird for me because I never do. I'm just going to have to keep working and praying, and maybe they will come up some before the end of the semester.



In all, life here in Aggieland is amazing, despite the grades. (which may or may not be good) The people are wonderful, the atmoshpere is unlike any other, and I'm loving it.
