My Favorite Time: 1-4 AM

It makes no sense whatsoever, but I am always most productive when I should be soundly sleeping. Today, I started cleaning my room at midnight. This baffles me. I know I'll be totally pooped come 7:00 when I have to wake up, but I just cannot fall asleep! Oh well, I suppose it's a fine time to update this blog of mine and do some social networking!

I have my first couple of exams next week. Feeling slightly unprepared, but I have some time yet to study so I should be on top of those come test day! I feel like this will be the first time I'll actually be able to gauge how I'm doing in my classes. I've really had no indication so far! I have a feeling I'll need to step up my game a bit. College is certainly more demanding than high school, but I don't think I quite have that attitude yet! I'm behind in reading for several classes and midterm papers are looming on the horizon! All in all though, I'm very excited to take these tests and see how things stand!

Hard to believe that basketball season starts in less than a month! I've been practicing a bit with the rest of the girls on the team and it feels so wonderful to be playing again. It's amazing how many of the "little things" I've forgotten, but equally amazing how it all comes rushing back! The hardest part is getting in shape. Once of accomplished that, I'll be less worried about starting. I do have to get all of my insurance forms completed, as well as get a physical. Hopefully I'll be able to do that tomorrow, though Saturday is typically not the best day for that sort of thing!

I received a fantastic package in the mail from home. Books, letters, pictures; it was wonderful! I hadn't realized how nice it was to get stuff from home; made me feel a little guilty about not mailing Abby more while she was here! The book was The Southern Rules. I have not had time yet to read it in it's entirety, but I've skimmed through it and am very excited to read it! Chandler read it and shared her thoughts with me. I laugh just thinking about what she wrote! She is too funny! I have a feeling I'll be sharing this book with many of my girlfriends here, especially those searching for a man!

Well, I think this was a wonderful way to wind down, seeing as bed is finally starting to call to me! Maybe in the future I'll be able to get my internal clock all figured out so that I'm actually asleep at this time of night! But you know, I do tend to march to the beat of my own drummer. If only life could accommodate me!

Good Night!

The Small Rain (Except Not Quite...)

Mmmmmm...this weather! It's almost as if God read my mind (oh, wait!)! It's just pouring rain! The skies are perfectly gray and cloudy. It's definitely the best study weather! Unfortunately, here I am, at the school, and there all my textbooks are, at the house...normally it's not such a big deal to walk down and get it, but I would be a drowned cat (maybe a little cuter) by the time I reached Carter Circle. So instead I'll update here, waste some time on Facebook, and then do a little Spanish review!

I certainly enjoyed my weekend. Saturday was a major lazy day. I didn't wake up until 10:00 (which is pretty early compared to my post-college Saturdays (noon or so...). I vacuumed the house and then just chilled; did a little homework and watched some random youtube videos that were recommended to me. It will take a little time to get used to the difference between Sundays back home and Sundays here. Only having one worship service is so strange! Eating lunch with Uncle Ethan and Aunt Linda made it seem more like what I'm used to though. It's much easier to forget that it is Sunday, but I usually just take a nap anyway. And then the weekend was over!

I have a two hour break now before my next class (English Composition) and I didn't have any homework for that one, so I really don't know what to do now. I guess lunch would be a pretty good idea! But I really don't want to go out in this rain! My rumbling stomach will get the better of me soon enough though. That's what umbrella's are for, I suppose...

Later tonight, I'm meeting up with my O-Team members. Every Monday night, we get together at the Blink and just hang out. Last week, it lasted until midnight, but I don't think I'll be able to stay up that late tonight! I had the best O-Team in the world (Chandler and C-Berry were just awesome) and I'm glad that we can still hang out and such! I'm considering baking something to share; haven't done that in a while!

Well, today's ramblings are finished! Time to brave the elements. Hasta luego todos!
