I love the Holidays! So for the past 24 hours I have been cooking and cleaning more than any one person should. I got home from school Tuesday night at about 10 and have been running non-stop ever since. Luckily, Magic is playing Christmas music and I watched the parade this morning while working ( Read more... )

This weekend was busy but amazing. Sandwiched between Day on Campus and a visit from Mandy, Phyllis, Richard and their families... I reluctantly packed a bag and headed off to do some camping ( Read more... )

You know the kind. The kind where you have 500 million things to do, your teachers decide to see how much they can lay on you before Thanksgiving, you are worried about external factors in your life, you snip at innocent people for no reason... and then to top it off... YOU GET SICKYeah, that's pretty much my week. I have so many papers and ( Read more... )

Ok, so I KNOW its only the beginning of November, but I just cant help it. It's my favorite time of the year and I am in an AMAZING mood. This weekend, I went home to do some shopping for Christmas... somehow I bought all my clothes in only 2 hours- that never happens! Anyways, in all the stores, Christmas decorations are up, carols are playing, ( Read more... )

Well, classes are out until next Wednesday and I am here in Lakeland all by my lonesome. Most of the girls from the building have gone home, and I must admit- it's a weeeeeee bit scary doing my 1am rounds in an empty building. Some of my girls are still here for sports and they seem to make my day a little more fun. Lindsay and Jackie and I spent ( Read more... )

Ok, so it's been forever and a day since I have actually written in this journal... however, I am making a resolution to change that. Hey, if I can't change the world, I might as well make trivial, irrelevant changes to my otherwise dull life- like updating my LJ on occasion ( Read more... )

I survived Hurricane Frances here in Lakeland.  In a way, it wasn't really a huge deal... we stayed in the gym and Meg and I took charge of the building inspections since the other girls left. We even played in the rain after the hurricane passed over. Sadly, my window broke and water seeped in- but housekeeping was fairly efficient in extracting ( Read more... )

You know the kind... the nights when, depite the ruckus you caused with the girls a few hours before- you get home, take a shower, and just miss something you dont have. *sigh* I love being here, I love my friends (especially Jenn and Meg) who make me laugh all the time, and I love the life that rolls out before me every day as I clumsily drop out ( Read more... )

It's Orientation Weekend... all the new freshmen are here! All of my residents moved in Thursday and Friday and have been going through Orientation sessions all weekend. Since I am an Orientation Leader, I too have been "enjoying" the same sessions as last year. We have already had a fire drill in the first 2 days (which I hope is not a precursor ( Read more... )

In the past week I have hardly had time to eat or sleep, let alone write in my LJ, so I will try to catch you all up as much as possible ( Read more... )
