My Week!!!

I figured that I better give you all an update before I hit the weekend, otherwise this blog will get to be too long to read!

So I've been so busy I cannot even remember what day I left you guys all at! Ok, so I left off on Sunday night! Oh boy, 4 days to catch everyone up on!!!!

SO! Monday, nothing too exciting happened during the day part of it that I can really remember. I do remember that I started off with a jam packed lesson in Marine Biology and then I had 2 classes right after that! When I was all done with school, I went home and had my group project partner and friend, Betsy, come over to work on it. Then I went downtown and ate dinner with Betsy and some other friends. Then I headed over to Melissa's house and together we headed off to the supermarket to pick up some soda to take to another friend's house where we had a party for the National Championship game of college football between OSU & LSU! One friend brought 18 pounds of chicken wings!!!! There were about a dozen of us all hanging out and having a great time.

Tuesday...I had accouting where we were learning all about debits and credits! Then I met up with my friends, Nicolette and Madeline for a late breakfast. Well, we sat there so long talking, that I was able to add lunch in with some other friends: Melissa, Dan, Corey and Pastor Andy without having to leave the dining hall! Then I took this extremely hard hospitality law test (I still wondering what I got on it) and then I had my other class. After that class, I grabbed dinner with Nicolette which was so much fun! Then I headed off to college age church. We had a special guest speaker, Randy Sprinkle, who was really great! Then after church, about 6 of us all headed off to a restaurant for a late night snack and a chance to hang out! I really packed that day in!!!!

On Wednesday, after classes, I grabbed a nice lunch with Corey then we walked to go meet Nicolette who was supposed to be on the 4th floor of this building. Corey and I are in this glass elevator and we see Nicolette and Madeline in the other one right as we reach the 4th floor! I didn't hop into their elevator in enough time and watched them shoot down to the bottom. I got back into my elevator with Corey and shot down to the bottom only to watch Nicolette and Madeline shoot back up. I finally got off the elevator and by the time Nicolette and Madeline joined us, all four of us were laughing so hard. I do not think that I have ever played elevator tag before! Then, after running around downtown for a while and bumping into random friends, I headed home. By the time I got home, I had to change and go to this "Snowed in by the Fireside" vegetarian banquet for my good friend, Carrie, who had to invite 3 people to it! She did not tell me who else was going so I reluctantly went, completly not knowing what to expect at all! Lucky for me, I found my friend, Seth, heading there and together we found our other friend, Megan! It has been a long while since I ate that many vegetables at once! Seth stated that he felt his stomach sprout from all the vegetables he ate! After that, I went back to my room and worked on some things then I took a nice 2 hour nap! Then I talked to the family and went right back to bed since I was so exhausted and caught up on some much needed sleep!

Finally! We are on Thursday! I generally eat breakfast before going to classes but since I knew I was getting out of my first class early, I thought I would wait. So with my spare time, I went off to see if I could find Nicolette. Also, Nicolette and I share an accounting book so even though we do not have any classes together we have to make a huge point to connect with each other 1-3 times a day, 4 days a week! That is a great way to save money and keep in touch with friends! I find Nicolette and she tell me she does not have any more classes for the day! So after my first class, I go and grab breakfast with her. Then I headed home in hopes of taking a nap (I know I had so much sleep the night before but I still wanted my nap!). That doesn't work but I head back downtown to catch lunch with Melissa and Dan which went great! Then I had my two classes after that. Then I caught dinner with my friend, Betsy, and originally it was supposed to be just the two of us but it turned out to be pretty much the whole group of friends from McNulty along with my old roommate who showed up halfway through dinner. There was only one seat left, next to me and she sat down and things still have not really changed to say the least but that is fine especially we have both gone our own separate ways at this point. So now, here I am sitting in my dorm room, I think I am going to go hang out with Nicolette and Madeline, but who knows what the weekend is going to hold!

1st Weekend Back In RI!

I had a great and smooth day of flying, just long and tiring however. I was so happy to see a familiar face at the Providence Airport waiting to pick me up. Melissa, my amazing friend and sister in Christ, picked me up and took me to her apartment where we hung out and had a great night together!

Corey, my guy, picked me up on Friday to take me back to my dorm. Its been a tad bit hard getting back into the swing of things but I'm managing good and my pain from the sledding accident is getting better everyday. Friday night, I hung out with Melissa, had a great dinner together then we ran around downtown Providence exploring things. It was so much fun learning new things. Then I capped off my night by seeing the movie Alvin & The Chipmunks which was a really cute movie!

On Saturday, I worked on catching up on my sleep. Then I went with a group of friends from my hall, West Hall to go get my roommate, Allison, from the airport. The airline left her luggage behind at JFK airport so we reluctantly went home without it. Allison and I ordered pizza and grabbed another friend to play a board game together. It was great catching up with friends again!

On Sunday, I went to church and grabbed lunch with friends. Melissa dropped Allison and I off at our dorm where I worked on organizing and unpacking some more along with doing some homework. Then I went with Melissa to go pick up our other friend Carrie from the airport. While we were at the airport, instead of doing short term parking, we were sitting in the terminal where you are required to actively load passengers. Melissa left me with the car to go find Carrie. The cop monitoring things came over and was like move the car! I said I cannot it is my friends. Melissa was not answering her phone. The cop said you have 2 minutes to move it then he went to the front of the car and got the license plate and make/model of the car. As soon as he did that, I hopped into Melissa's car and took off. I finally got ahold of her and was like um, I have your car and I'm making a loop, be back shortly. It was quite funny to say the least. Afterwards, the three of us grabbed dinner together and had a great time catching up!

I'm going to call it a night for now! School is starting again tomorrow and I have to get back into the grind! I hope everyone had a Happy New Year!!
