Colossians 3: 2&4

The semester is quickly coming to an end and that means exam time. I'm nervous to take my first college final exams...I'm sure they are a lot different from highschool ones. But anyway so I just wanted to encourage everyone else who is preparing for exams, or who are just really busy right now to remember who it is that we are glorifying through our work. He will carry us through :) and it will be over soon!

Love you guys! 15 days til the semester is over and I'm back for Christmas!

Off to school I go....

Well as you all know this past weekend I was at Home Sweet Home. I love Holidays at home! I had a lot of fun...maybe too much because now I am a sick puppy. I got to see so many people that I hadn't gotten to hang out with in a while! I have to admit, it is weird coming back. I felt as though I had to fit as many activities as possible in during my break. I'll make sure to not make this mistake again haha. Well here was my vacation

Tuesday: After getting a 100% on my Biology for El. Ed. majors final project I was more than ready to go home! (she also said that I was a natural teacher:) it's always nice to hear that!) I got home and said hello to my parents and the kitties and then ran to try to catch the last bit of one of Greg's games. I made it for 10 minutes! I did love seeing him play though, its been a while. We hung out for a little while then I went to meet up with some of my friends I went to highschool with. We played some shout out game??? I dont know but it was fun!

Wednesday: I woke up and baked with my mom :) She is a great teacher to learn from. Being away from home sometimes I forget how cute my mom is and how fun she is to be around! Then I went down to the Taylors and hung out there for the day. Ben came home that night and so I got to see him and Linnea too!

Thursday: IT WAS THANKSGIVING. And I watched way too much of the Lost show than any normal person should. It was addicting. From now on I am banning them from our Thanksgiving festivites!

Friday: I watched a movie with my parents! Then I went to Elizabeths new apartment! She bought a new kitten. She had a bunch of girls over that I used to hang out with in highschool and hadn't seen in a while so it was a lot of fun!

Saturday: I went to Salsaritas with Greg and went to the mall for a little bit. Then the Townsends had an awesome Bonfire! I liked when we did that word game (ex. Captain Crunch, cheddar cheese and so on).

Sunday: I got to go to church!!!!!! Oh how i missed it.

Anyway sorry for the long post. It's fun re-living my break haha I had so much fun and I can't wait til Christmas break. It is nice being back to school though. I have so much work to do before break but it will be ok haha. I hope all of your Thanksgiving breaks were good too! Love you guys


OH AND BY THE WAY.... MESSIAH WON IN GREENSBORO AND THEREFORE IS UNDEFEATED AND THAT MEANS WE ARE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!! THAT GOES FOR OUR MENS AND WOMENS SOCCER!!! GOOO MESSIAH!!!!

Wow. This has been, by far, the best weekend I have had here at Messiah College. I love it here!!!! There is no way I can even begin to write down everything that happened this weekend. But God sure has blessed me with amazing friends here at college and I'm so glad I met them! I included a few pictures but I'll have to tell you the stories in person, they are always better that way. Messiah did win its game on Saturday as well though so our boys are going to the Final Four!!!!! It's amazing! But anyway this weekend's events ranged from going to the soccer games, haunted houses, to being brought back to Messiah College in a cop car........ hahahah yea like I said I will explain when I get home but this weekend was so fun. (And mom I heard you are reading blogs now too, don't worry I will explain when I get home :))

I come home tomorrow! How exciting. I did so much work so that I wouldn't have too much to do over break. And I am so excited to teach my class tomorrow! Woo Hoo! Life is great!

So today I scheduled my classes and I got all but one of the classes I wanted... so thats not too bad! Then I went to the soccer game against Maryville and of course we won :):):) 5-1! It was a lot of fun. I put a couple pics of the girls and I at the game. (on the top row from left to right is kicki, katie and kelly, then the bottom row is keena, julianne, me, and bre-just thought it might be helpful to put names with the faces)It was so freezing though!!! There was some guy from the other team that dressed up in a kilt and was running around without a shirt on.... it was weird haha but at least he wasn't rude or anything.

The weather is so cold right now, I almost feel Fall weather was skipped! And I don't like that because fall is by far my favorite season. Last year I went to a football thing that Mr Franklin set up for the youth group and I had soooo much fun. I think that we should play football this year! Not like real hard core football but just for fun!

Anyway..... 2 days of classes and 4 days til im home! almost 3! I'm about to go watch a movie so I will see you all soon!

I'm sorry that I have no updated in forever..... so much has been going on! I finally finished a group project so I have that burden off my shoulders. Friday I have to register for my classes and it seems that everything I want is filling up and it is very stressful :(. Plus on Tuesday before I come home I have to teach a science experiment in my Bio Lab ( for El. Ed. majors). It may sound simple but it's not. In fact I find my major to be a lot more time comsuming than I had ever imagined. I also have to prepare a persuasive speech for monday and I still don't know what topic to choose!!! So right now I am a little stressed out haha

This weekend should be fun though. NCAA sectionals are being held here at Messiah. What does that mean you ask? that means you should all come up here for some pretty awesome games. There is a game at 5 on Friday then we play at 730 and the winners of those two games ( us of course!) play on Saturday at 6. Then from there the winner goes to Final Four in Greensboro NC next weekend. ANyway they are going to be good games!!!

I just keep thinking that when I get through all the next couple days I can then go home:) by the way i had a great time last weekend seeing everyone who wasnt busy :) It was so fun. I can't wait for our annual Thanksgiving night party!!!! It seems that the number of people is growing each year haha but thats fine. I can't wait !!!!

Anyway so I just ask for your prayers because I tend to overstress myself over things that I have no control over (such as my classes i want to take filling up) God is in control!

Until then.....6 days and 4 days of class left until I'm home sweet home!

Here is a question for you all. The last night in our wonderful cafeteria that we call Lottie, Veal Parmesean was one of the dinner selections. Some of my friends got it not knowing what it was and we spent most of or dinner trying to figure it out. After asking random people in Lottie what exactly it was that they were eating, the majority said it was a baby cow that is kept in a little box, not allowed to move, and fed til the day it is slaughtered. I really didn't want to hear that while i was eating, but oh well. Anyway my roomate is still convinced that it is a baby lamb. I dont' really know but I think its a cow. But if it is a baby cow, then what is a baby lamb? Think about it and post me your thoughts :)
