Having my room back. Spending time with my family. Sister nights watching silly movies. Good time with my friends. New pjs (thanks Gina)! Not cooking my own food. Cookies. Christmas music. Christmas lights. Christmas presents. Day after Christmas shopping for things you didn't get, or things you realized you wanted. (I've already seen ( Read more... )

I love the holidays, even with the lack of cold weather. Last year I feel like I missed it all. Yes, I was home for Christmas, but I missed Thanksgiving and decorating and all the holiday hype. Let me tell you, no one does it like the US of A. =) Classes are finally over (YAY!) although that means exams are here. Last two are Tuesday and ( Read more... )

Life is insane. School takes up way too much time. I've been so much more social so far this year than I usually am. Ok, let me rephrase that. Due to my lack of contact with people last year, I'm making up for lost time. Sleep is coming in 3rd behind friends and school, as evidenced by this weekend. Up almost all of Friday night watching ( Read more... )

Monday night, 6:55 pm, and I'm still on campus.  Stupid Monday's!  I had class from 5-6, then class again from 7:20-8:10.  So there's no point in going home because I'd have to turn right around and come back to campus.  Boo to that.  I should be doing some reading, but this seemed like more fun.

What else is new?  UF won't give me lab credit for a ( Read more... )

So no one seems to be posting very often anymore, not that I post a lot either.  So here goes an update:  A great 3 day weekend.  My 20th birthday, a great time celebrating with my family and then a surprise party awaited me when I returned to Gainesville.  So much fun!  I love my friends, and especially my room mates.  They're amazing.  :)  ( Read more... )

So I am back in Gainesville.  A very cool apartment, 3 awesome roomies, some good friends a building away.  Not bad at all!  I've settled in, done most of the unpacking and I'm enjoying my last free day.  Classes start tomorrow at 9:35, and between classes will be the last of the book buying, I hope.  Today I'm doing a whole lot of nothing; the ( Read more... )

When mom leaves for a trip for work, we all pick up extra stuff to do.  We take turns making dinner and doing laundry.  This time I also get the duty of waking up around 7:30 to make sure my sisters get off to school.  Getting up at such a horrible time is only countered by the fact that I go to bed at like, 11, each night.  And waking up and ( Read more... )

Driving to Gainesville on Friday was surreal.  We were driving, we had packed up the car...and it still hadn't hit me that I was going to move in to an apartment.  The reality of it all probably won't hit until I totally move in on Sunday, or when classes start.  Moving in went really well.  Or as well as making a billion trip up and down, to and ( Read more... )

Friday's trip to Gainesville was canceled, so...actually, I don't remember how I spent the day.  Relaxing I think.  It was a good day off.  Had today off too, which has improved my sanity by a whole lot.  I've been thinking about packing, but let's be honest here, I'm not gonna really start until Tuesday at the earliest.  I'm getting really excited ( Read more... )

Where did July go?  All I know is that it's August and classes start in about 3 weeks and I feel like I had no summer.  Well, yeah, I really didn't have much of a summer, but that's ok.  I'm excited about the end product of moving to Gainesville, but the actually process is painful.  Just a month ago I packed up my life and moved across an ocean to ( Read more... )
