Fall Break

     Whew...almost made it to fall break. (Whoa, we're halfway there...)

      Not really sure how to describe this sophomore year so far. It's just been tons different, yet so much alike. But, anyway, things are going well for now. 

     Just got through midterms this week, which was tiring and stressful. And I panicked when I saw my midterm grades for Lit and Editing. But then Dr. Eversole said she aims them lower than what she thinks we'll make(that's a nasty-but oh-so-effective trick of journalism), and Prof. Semrow said midterms were pretty irrelevant and she just typed in some numbers for everybody. 

     Staying alive(NO, there is no link to that song in this post. If it gets stuck in your head...sorry about that.) in nutrition and psych for now... Latin is going great. 

      Making some friends, which is a very good thing. Mostly through SWAT, we had our first program tonight(Sunday, it's now early Monday morning at this section of the post). In this clip, Jacob buys the world's most lemony lemon ever. And here, I practice for taking over Ryan Seacrest's job someday.  We still have a lot of rough edges to sand down, but overall it went very well for an opening performance.  Then we invaded Mazzio's afterwards. 

     Went to Grandpa's Friday night, good to visit with them. The dogs were overjoyed to see me again. Bob's birthday was Saturday, so Louise planned a massive party/reunion thing and hosted it, which went well. I didn't really know very many people, but it was nice to be around the Lankfords that I did know, and everyone seemed to have a great time. The family came down, and Trish and Damon, and even Dayla and her family. There were about 75 people who showed up. Lots of food was eaten, and music played, and PING PONG.  

     Still not sleeping very well, about six-ish hours a night, usually waking up once or twice. Ross is freezing. I posted this on my Facebook the other day, "When you walk out of the shower and your first thought is, "I'm Bear Grylls, and I'm going to attempt to survive in the Arctic tundra," it's too cold." Elizabeth commented that that was the best description of Ross ever. At least every resident shares in some of the misery that is living in this building...that's why we complain so much.

     Monday(today) was a good day for running, a mist/rain blend falling all over everything in a peaceful sort of way. It was not a good day to watch a documentary for homework, but, ya know...

     The second Thor movie comes out in about three weeks, looking forward to it.

     Courtney, Dylan, Laura, Mr Gundersen and a handful of other people are going to Mexico Friday, they're pretty excited. Hope it goes well.
