#3. Busy, busy, busy.

This has been my busiest week yet. I had a few tests (some were super tough) and rush was going on, too. I've dressed up as a pirate, a converse shoe, a dancer, and like I'm going on a hot date. Good times. I had my meeting with Dr. Randle early Friday morning. He really helped me and made me think about a few questions I haven't asked myself yet. I've got some more thinking to do about Christian education.

I'm anticipating a good week. I'm pretty sure I have no tests and I'll find out what tribe I'm in on Thursday. I'm looking forward to that.

Anyways, I am loving this weather. It's not too hot and not too cold, and all you need is a light jacket! That was a Miss Congeniality reference in case you didn't catch it. But for real, it feels great outside. I can't wait for winter. I know I'm pretty much rambling, but the truth is, I don't really have much to say ha. I haven't had any major epiphanies or anything lately. We'll hope for that next week.

2. Shame on you, Coen brothers...

Tonight I watched "No Country for Old Men". It was Movie of the Year last year. I thought it had a very abrubt and disappointing ending. Those Coen brothers really let me down. I thorougly enjoyed "O Brother Where Art Thou". This one just didn't cut it.



Rush is starting and i'm anticipating a super busy week with not much time to sleep or study. I'm tired just thinking about it. It should be fun though. I was thinking about the discussion we had in class Thursday about how our highschools differ from college. Most of the input about highschool was negative. Even though I was so ready to get out of there, my highschool experience was great. It wasn't cliquish like everyone says highschool is. Sure, everyone has their own circle of friends but no one was upset about it and I think that it's going to be like that anywhere you go. In college and even in the workplace, people will always group together. I'm not one of the people that hated highschool and couldn't wait to get to college. I'm also not a person that isn't too happy with college and just wishes I could go back to senior year. I really enjoyed highschool and i'm really excited about my college experience. It's just a new phase of my life.



Enough about that. Another thing i've been thinking about is finding a church that feels like home. I loved mine in Brookhaven and there are some really good ones here, but it's hard just to pick one and settle down. I've visited a few but it's tough to decide. Any input from those of you who have been to a lot of them would be wonderful : )



In other news, the air conditioner is finally fixed in Hederman! Woo! Sleeping in an 83 degree room makes me a very unhappy camper. Luckily, my dorm is now at a glorious temp. of 71. ahhh.

So, Number 1.

Today i'm at home for the second time since school started. I enjoy the rest and relaxation here but it'll be nice to get back to my schedule.

So i've realized that college was a little surprising. I thought I knew what to expect and thought I knew exactly what it would be like. I guess it's just weird for me to be living it when I always pictured how my sister and older friends lived it. It's not a bad surprise though. It's been so exciting so far and i'm really ready for rush and everything to start. One of my favorite new things to do is meet people and find out where they're from, and then see if I have any connections in that town that we can talk about. It's entertaining.

I guess I don't really have any crazy or dramatic experiences to write about yet. Everything has gone very smoothly. It's awesome having a few of my really good friends and my boyfriend up here, though. I thought it might be a little strange but it's like everything is the same except the setting. I'm glad it turned out well. Also, my classes are going really well, too. The ones that aren't very interesting are at least relatively easy. I've only had one quiz and I think I pretty much aced it. (After I start having tests and loads and loads of homework, my blogs probably won't be quite so optimistic.)

I wish I had some intense story to tell, but I'll just hope for that for next time.
