November is coming to a close, which means the semester is almost over. One day of class this week and then one full week plus three days the next week. Then the dreaded finals begin. Where has all the time gone?

The wedding is in six days! So much to do this week. It seems like just yesterday that they had just gotten engaged and now its time for the wedding. I'm pretty excited. I'm finally going to have a sister.

Classes are going well. Chemistry has gotten better. I think I'm starting to understand some of it. I'm just dreading Organic Chemistry next semester. I just hope I do well this semester so I'm not too lost next semester. I got my schedule for next semester. I'll be taking Intro to Neuroscience, Exercise Prescription, Organic Chemistry, Intro to Roman Archeology, and Christian Thought. It should be a good semester. I have a paper for Nutrition, a paper for Concepts of Human Performance, and a few tests left in all my classes before this semester is over. I am so ready for Christmas break to get here. I need that three week break really bad.

I'm sure there are other things I could be blogging about, but I should probably be working on some homework/taking a nap :)

Ahhhh, it's already almost halfway through November. This semester has flown by! Two weeks until Thanksgiving, and then two weeks of school left after that! There is hardly any time left. I'm so ready for a break from classes though. I feel like this semester has been ridiculous. But I love the time I've been spending with my friends. We have the best times together!

Lots has happened since I last blogged. Too much to type about. High points: I got a job! I am now an employee at Steak N' Shake on the West Side of Evansville. I work in the back preparing food. Its a job, haha. Halloween Party at my friend Alex's house on October 30. It was epic! We had a blast bobbing for apples, dancing, machetiata, eating and whatnot. One of the best nights of my college career thus far. Just hanging out with my friends in general has been a high point. I've made such good friends and they are just the best. We always do the most ridiculous and crazy things. Halloween night, a few of us wandered around campus just doing random things, you had to be there to understand. Almost every Wednesday night, we have "Midnight Society," which is where we all head over to Alex, Guy and Matt's house to watch 'Are You Afraid of the Dark?' the tv show from the 90s. Its a lot of fun and perfect for your midweek stress reliever.

Dane's wedding is coming up rather quickly. Only 16 days left. I have a feeling that the wedding is going to consume my whole break off from school, which is fine. My brother will only get married once, so I should be excited and helpful. I'm sad I'll be losing my brother for the most part, but I'm also excited to gain a sister. Then Steph's wedding is three weeks after Dane & Jean's. So I've got stuff for her wedding going on as well. There's just too many weddings this year.

This weekend should be a good one. Tomorrow is Jackie's 20th birthday!!! No longer a teenager, but a real adult. I can't believe it. We're going to party it up in Evansville tomorrow evening, no official plans yet, but it should be a blast. Then Saturday, I'm headed to St. Louis to the City Museum with some friends from SCF. I'm really really excited! We're going to have such a good time. Sunday I have to work, but I should be able to go to Bethel Temple on Sunday morning. I really enjoy going there, its so much like Little Chapel. They are in a series about family right now. Its pretty good thus far.

Well, right now, I'm chillin' in the laundry room doing some laundry and working on chemistry homework. I should probably get back to it!

october 22nd

October, like September and August, has been rushing by. A break in the middle helped with that.

Not too much has happened since I blogged last. Classes are going well. I feel like I'm going very good in all of them. Chemistry isn't too bad at the moment, but continue to pray for this easy sensation. My exercise science classes are thoroughly easy and I really enjoy them.

Last Friday night, I went to Franklin, IN (near Indy) for a concert with some friends. Showbread, The Wedding, Children 18:3, Kids in the Way, and Project 86 were playing. It was a pretty good show in a little venue. I went with Shannon, Alex, and Cody. Cody is from Franklin, so he knew where we were going. Shannon is from Indy, so we had a place to stay for the night. We had a good time together. I love my SCF friends and their good influence on me. I regret not spending more time with them last year. I'm making up for lost time this year. Alex and I are hoping for a show in Illinois next time, since we're both from the Land of Lincoln.

Saturday, after we got back, I went with my Circle K bunch to help with Gilda's Club. They were having a carnival on the east side of Evansville. Anna and I were watching an inflatable, where we had to carry the kids (and some adults) shoes to the other end. It was like an obstacle course thing. It was actually a lot of fun, only a little chilly.

Sunday, I went to Bethel Temple. It was awesome! We finished the "Worship Is..." series, coming from 1 Chronicles 13-16. I really enjoyed it. My heart fills with joy every time I'm there. The Lord's presence definitely is there and touches you as soon as you hit the parking lot. I love the feeling.

As soon as church was over, I drove back to Southern Illinois for Dane & Jean's wedding shower. As a bridesmaid, I had to be there. We played the silly games and had cupcakes & punch, and there were tons of presents for the happy couple. I was there for all of two hours and then drove back to Evansville.

The rest of the week has just been a blur. Tuesday was my best day thus far. I found $6 in my jeans' pocket when I put them on. I got a job at Steak N' Shake (I start next Friday). Just a great day overall. I've been spending lots of time with my SCF friends, like Brittany, Hannah, Shannon, Erin, Carley, Alex, Cody, Ben, Maggie, Caleb, Kris, etc. There are so many of us. When we eat dinner, there isn't a table big enough for all of us, which is awesome. We're starting to make the greek tables look small and not crowded, hehe.

Well, tomorrow I'm having breakfast with my brother. He's coming to take me to IHOP before class. :) Tomorrow night is SCF, yay! Then I'm going to head home because my friend Addie is getting married on Saturday afternoon!! Then I'll be heading back to Evansville. Wow, jam-packed weekend, but it looks to be an awesome one!

Guess I'll go work on homework before I go to bed.
