Well, yes I know it's been forever since I've posted my last blog! I've somehow been crazy busy!
Classes are going okay for me this trimester, and I cannot believe that I only have like 5 more weeks of school left until summer!!! Speaking of summer, I just went to the summer job fair with my school, I turned in a few apps, had 1 interview, and I just recently got a job offer. Not sure how thing are going to pan out but we'll see, sometimes things just take patience although its difficult.
I just recently started trying to find a part time job to fit into my schedule now to keep me busy until summer hits. Not sure yet where I'll be working.
I'm working on getting over a whole yucky mess of sickness including yet not limited to a double ear infection and bronchitis. Never had bronchitis before so that was an adventure.
As most people know at this point but I'm including it for clarification, Corey and I broke up about a month ago. It was a great first relationship and I learned a lot of things in general for any future relationships I may have with people.
Other than that, I've just been running around, busy with school, finding a job, getting an apartment, being sick, going to church, growing in God's word, and being sick. This weekend, I'm looking forward to heading up to Freedom, New Hampshire for a spring retreat with college students from all over the New England area! It should be lots of fun!

Life is crazy but good, right?
It has almost been 2 weeks since I have last updated, after talking to some people, most like a long version of the blog and a few like the short version, so here is a long version, if you want the short version, email me.
So I left off pretty much around superbowl weekend. I have been so busy with life and just working on trying to grow up to be the woman that God wants me to be!
First, there has been a huge addition and change in my life and that is my awesome friend, Jacqui, who means a lot to me even though we've only been friends for 2 weeks, I know she is going to be a lifelong friend, she means so much to me already! We get together every night and read the Bible together and discuss what we have just read and basically have our own little Bible study. We also talk about our days and making sure that the other is doing ok and not having any problems with anything. She lives in my dorm so its awesome to have her close by, haha not to mention we keep each other in line for all the crazy things we do and all that mischeif that we get into!
Life has been pretty busy for me. I am getting ready to head into a week of finals then on Friday I will be departing off to Russia. I will make sure and squeeze in another blog posting before I head off to Russia though.
Classes this trimester have been really difficult and I have started to become a little burned out feeling with my really full course load. I made sure to drop a class for next trimester so I can take things easy and possibly seek out a job!
A recap of my classes from 2nd trimester:
Hospitality Accounting-learned all the basic fundamentals of accounting with restaurants and hotels from doing daily cash reports, to creating various income statements and balance sheets, balancing a checkbook and knowing what to expect with errors on it, and various other fun things! This class has been difficult for me with all the stuff to memorize and all the right patterns and formulas.
Hospitality Law-there are so many things involved with running a hotel or restaurant, that it is crazy! There are so many technical terms and little details that it is really hard to remember all these things! This class was also a really difficult class for me!
Career Management-this class was a simple time consuming class where I created a version of my college resume and learned about job networking and other various career based things.
Marine Biology-this class was jam packed of lectures and lots of notes to be taken! Along with various nature films, some things were very fascinating to learn about and who knew that there was so much to be found in the ocean! This class was moderate for me and just challenged me when I had to learn all the special species names and phylum names for critters!
Front Office Operations-this class was all about how to operate a front desk of a hotel! I learned how to use one of the various check in/check out reservation computer programs, I learned how to do night audit (where a person closes all the accounts for the day and balances things out) and hotel forecasting (planning on how full your hotel will be and getting the best occupancy percentage possible) along with basic understanding of various areas in the hotel. This class contained a big project of creating your own full service hotel and creating a theme for it. I did mine based on a Jungle theme with exotic tree house rooms overlooking a jungle.
Guest Service Systems-this class was all about writing papers based off the teachers lectures. The teacher was a very colorful teacher and brought various teaching methods into his lectures which made things entertaining at times and you never knew what to expect from the teacher based upon all his various moods!
So other than taking those 6 classes, I also participated in a few clubs. I am in Club Manager's Association of America which deals with clubs such as country clubs, yacht clubs, art clubs etc. and I am co-secretary for this club.
I also am in Christian Student Fellowship and we have our weekly Tuesday Night Truth (TNT) meetings which are great since it is filled with worship, fellowship with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and an awesome message presented by Pastor Andy!
Other highlights of my weeks are going to church on Sunday mornings followed by lunch at the mall foodcourt! Also, group lunches on Tuesdays and Thursdays with Pastor Andy, Melissa, Dan, Corey and anyone else we can find that happens to be downtown at the right time!
Since I am so busy, I can hardly remember all the key things that have been happening but here are some key events from the past couple of weeks!
I was happen to be blessed with the opportunity to go to a monthly event called Mug and Muffin which is where all the ladies of my church gather together to go over a book of the Bible. For the month of January, we went over the book of 1 Peter. 1 Peter is an amazing book of the Bible and really touched me! I would highly recommend reading it and so far it is one of my favorite books of the Bible!
Another fun thing is when Melissa, Corey and I all get together and head to the store to buy dinner fixings then we head to someone's house and make dinner together then watch a movie together! It is great fun and quite entertaining!
Valentine's Day was great as this was my first Valentine's with a special someone! We went to dinner and the movies. We saw the movie Definitely Maybe which is a good chick flick presented from a guy's point of view. Corey got me flowers and chocolate. He is so good to me and it amazes me as how he always manages to know how to make me smile, he sure does know how to turn my bad days into good ones!
My roommate situation has worked out really well, I am starting to become good friends with Allison and we already have a lot of special memories of crazy things that we have done together! My other roommate have a real basic relationship which is fine.
I'm sure there are plenty of other things, but that is all for now and I'll be sure to post another update right before I head off to Russia! I hope everyone is doing great and I hope everyone has had a great month so far! Please, I would love to hear from you and to hear what's new with you and how things are going! Take care everyone & God bless!

Superbowl Weekend Update!
Yep! The Pats just lost to the Giants. I just got home from a great superbowl party full of college age friends and other amazing people at my pastor's house. My pastor and his family are such wonderful people and I'm truly blessed to know them!
I have been so busy lately, I've barely had time to eat and sleep! There is only 2 weeks of classes left before finals, teachers are giving out big, fat projects that require a lot of work and research and often times a lot of work with groups.
I just got over being sick, at least everyone had it at once, apparently here in Providence for the public school system, they give the elementary school students a week off in February for the students to be separated and to let the schools air out because everyone gets so sick.
Some highlights from my week?
Spending time with my guy...hanging with great friends and taking crazy bus trips (what would I do without public transportation!?)...running around Wal-Mart trying to kill an hour because of bus schedules by chasing fellow friends with stuffed animals (haha who let 3 crazy girls loose)...getting lost in a tiny town of Middletown, Rhode Island....and so many more!
I hope everyone had a great week and I'll try to keep you guys updated!
