As much as I love it here, i wish that I were going home for Thanksgiving. I know that going to Nonnie (my grandmother's) house will be and I'm comfortable in their house - I really want to see my friends from home. In the past 24 hours 2 of my friends from home have asked if and when I'll be there for Thanksgiving and I've had to tell them that I ( Read more... )

So I'm registered for next semester and I'm like 90% sure this is going to be final other than perhaps multi-variable calc might have to go. Anyways I'm taking Bio 120 Genetics, Evolution and something else (intro bio). This actually isn't required if I decide to major in Biochem, but its a prereq for some of the upper level bio classes that I'm ( Read more... )

However, in the past few weeks I've been haunted by a few lousy workouts and a lousy meet which makes me question myself and my ( Read more... )

I'm home for fall break so I thought I would muse a little on life, love and stuff in general. It's really strange to be home now. In so many ways, nothing has changed at all. Midland still looks the same, feels the same, and gives me a sense of saftey and security. In other ways things are completely different. My old high school is different ( Read more... )

So i have a bio-midtermish thing tomorrow right before fall break. I probably should be studying right now, but i spend the better part of today from like 11-2:30 studying and I'm meeting people at 7 to study some more so I feel like I desreve to waste my time on the internet. I don't think this will be a real and actual and complete update b/c I ( Read more... )

Last Saturday I went to Detroit and got to participate in one of the dances that were help there as part of a weekend long dance event including workshops and dances ( Read more... )
