It has been over a month since I last blogged. I've been rather busy with my summer class, swimming, laying out, and hanging out with my friends, haha.
Biology is going well. I have a 92% so far, which I believe is an A. It's really just like the AP Biology class I took my senior year of high school. But I would rather be taking it right now, instead of during the school year with Chemistry or Physics, that would really stink. My professor is really nice and since there are only 6 students in the whole class, we each get plenty of personal attention. Only about 3 more weeks and its over. This summer is flying by.
Since the last time I blogged I went to Florida. Jackie and I hopped on a plane Thursday June 18th and headed to Orlando, FL to see our best friend Angela. We had an awesome time!! Friday, we went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. It was a lot of fun, plus we got to spend the day with Angela. We were wore out by the time we hit our hotel that night. Saturday, we snuck into the Hard Rock Hotel and swam in their pool. It was pretty awesome. When you swam underwater, you could hear music. Pretty nifty! Then we got tickets to see Blue Man Group that night. It was AWESOME!!!! I recommend going to see it. It's comedy, entertainment, and a whole lot of laughter. Then Sunday morning, Angela drove us to the airport where we caught our plane back to St. Louis. It was a short trip, but rather fun! I can't wait for Angela to get home, cause I really miss her!!!
Another fun thing has happened since the last time.... My brother got engaged!!! This past Friday night he proposed to his girlfriend, Jean! With the help of myself and my parents, we had a blanket and candles set up at Cave-In-Rock, where they had their first kiss. He took her out to eat in Paducah and then blindfolded her and took her there. It was very romantic. We watched from down the hill behind a truck. The wedding is set for November 28, 2009. And I get to be a bridesmaid! We have so much planning and the like to do. There isn't much time before the wedding is actually here. I'm trying not to put too much input in since it's not my wedding, but they are going to need a lot of help pulling it off! :)
Yesterday started Junior High Camp down at Camp Oxford. I went down to help for a little while yesterday and today. This is the first year I'm not actually staying at camp, which is really weird for me. I decided since I'm taking a class, that staying would only take away studying time & I'd have to get up way earlier to get all the way to John A. Logan in the mornings. Since I'm not staying, I'm the "grocery shopper." You should see the looks I get when I load my cart at Aldi's with 32 dozen eggs, hahahaha. Tomorrow afternoon I'm going with the girls rock-climbing. My dad is taking groups every afternoon. Its usually pretty fun. Most of the kids are scared at first, but then end up loving it. I love spending time with these kids, or pre-teens. The girls make me feel young & old at the same time. Old because I'm now 19 and a sophomore in college, but I remember clearly what it was like to be in 6th, 7th or 8th grade. Those were rough years and can be for every girl. But I like to think I've made myself a positive role model for these girls to look at see that they can make it and that they can do whatever they set their minds to. They inspire me to be the best that I can. :)
Well, I need to study a little of Biology before I hit the hay. I'll try not to wait so long between blogs this time, haha.
