The Lake

So yesterday after classes, 6 of us to a Lake House in Council Grove. We got there at about 5. Then we went grocery shopping for today and went to Pizza Hut. We just hung out and played Uno. The lake by the way is beautiful; it was so pretty.

Today, we had brunch and went out on the lake. There was a water trampoline thing that we jumped and layed on. That was fun. We got back to the dorms at about 6. I'm slighty burnt but oh well, it was really fun. It's nice to have running water again. We got there and the water didn't work so we had to buy water to flush the toilet and wash dishes etc. A neighbor looked at it and appearantly they have to replace something but oh well it was fun

Christian Challenge

ok so tonight a couple of my friends and I went to this Christian challenge thing on campus. Everyone on campus is invited. There is a bunch of singing with a small band and there is a scripture where the director talks about it. It was pretty fun. Afterward this really nice girl invited us to a birthday party for one of the people there. So we went to that for a few minutes and talked with her and then some people had homework so we left.

Tomorrow at 4, after classes, 6 of us are going to Council Grove to a lake house. We're just going to hang out and spend the night. Then, we'll come back Saturday. So that should be fun.

College

Today was my first day of college classes, and what a day it was. It started off with an algebra class at 9. Then, bam, biology (uggg). Next came the ever intriguing phycology. Then, walking and jogging. Then, Yay lunch at 1. Last off comes Public Speaking (booo). So far not too bad. I have to read some stuff and I have to give a speach on Wednesday which I have no idea what to talk about. That was pretty much my day. I only got lost looking for King Hall and finding the 3rd floor in Science Hall (only one stairway leads to it so it's tricky). I have an 8-10 bio lab in the morning and a 1-3 Constructing your career class. That's it for Tuesdays.

Finally!

I know I know. It's been a long time. Well...Wednesday I moved to Emporia which was quite a change. I've been pretty busy. On Thursday I went to a block party and got a bunch of free stuff. Yay! I also went to a dance. It was pretty fun. Mostly I've been hanging out with a bunch of girls on my floor which has been really fun. Classes start tomorrow! Crazy. Later we're going to walk around campus and find out where everything is so that (hopefully) I won't get lost. I probably still will. Although I've already had an adventure trying to find a building. I had to carry my computer to a building in order to get the internet to work. Of course we took the long way to get there cause we had no idea where we were going. It was heavy but luckily I had a friend come with me and we took turns carrying it. So all in all, things are going pretty good so far.

The Fair, etc.

I know I haven't bloged lately. I have been kinda busy. Saturday I went to the Dickinson County Free Fair over in Abliene. Our family did the usual look at all the smelly animals etc. Then I met up with some my friends and watched a band made up of mostly Solomon-ites play in the band shell. They are kinda punk rocker-ish, but fun.

Sunday, a bunch of us went to the the demolition derby. I had never been before. It was interesting and pretty fun until the finale, if you will, in which they didn't seem to really hit eachother. A friend of mine's boyfriend was in the rookie's portion. He did pretty good. I found out that on Tuesday he got 7th out of 23.

Last night Emily and I spent the night at my best friend's new apartment. There were going to be a few more people but for one reason or another, they didn't make it. That's ok though; we had a good time. We didn't really do much just hung out and went on some walks around the exciting town of Concordia, KS. It was kinda sad because we'll still keep in touch and all but we won't really get to hang out anymore. Oh well, I try not to dwell on that.

I only have two more days of work, Thursday and Saturday. Then, I leave on Wednesday.

Shopping Extravaganza

It's been a quite a day. I went to Salina to do a little bit of shopping with my dear father. Well, first I HAD to get a shot with my mother. Being the wimp that I am, I didn't like it but it really didn't hurt so that was good. Then, we went to CellularOne and mom and I got flip phones. Then, Dad and I got a HP printer/copier/scanner at Wal-mart. Next, we went to the mall and got me some tennis shoes. Many dollars later, I am closer to being ready for school. Speaking of which I leave in two weeks from today. Ahhh.

Missouri Adventure

A friend of mine is going to attend what is now called Missouri State, and her uncle lives there. The two of us made a trip down there so that she could set a position at her job and I tagged along for fun.

I had to work until 8 on Saturday so we left at about 9 that night. It is quite a trip down there, we made it at about 2:40 am.

On Sunday, she took me to see her school. The building were nice, from the outside anyway, but it needed more grass. It was all parking lotted, etc. Then we went to Bass Pro Shop. I had never been there and it was amazingly huge. Then we took a trip to the mall for a short while. After that we went to this huge fair. They had a talent show that was awesome. We heard a 14-year-old, who sang an Alicia Keys song, that was amazing. I also found out that Springfeild has ALOT (I mean ALOT) of hillbillies. I saw more cloggers in one night than I thought I'd see in my lifetime. There was also a yodler. So that was interesting. We left before the end of the adult portion to go meet one of her roommates. She'll have three and this one lives in Springfeild so she met us at a Starbucks. Neither of us had never been to one so that was quite an adventure. I kinda liked it and her roommate is really nice.

Today, Courtney did some things she needed to do. Then, we hit the road. We got back at about 9:30 tonight. So it was quite a weekend.
