I promise it will be better next time

Well, here I am. Back from England. Done with winter break. It was pretty sweet. I actually didn't do a whole lot. Pretty much just hung out with friends and family and did a lot of relaxing (i.e. sitting around doing nothing). But it was really great nonetheless. I mean, I had just gotten back from traveling around Europe so it's okay that winter break wasn't too adventurous. By the way...I just have to mention that I REALLY miss England and my girls! Love you all! :(

Back at good old Miami University (of Ohio, of course). Marissa and I have our own apartment off campus this semester. It's pretty sweet. Living room, kitchen, our own washer and dryer, one bathroom, and one bedroom. Yeah...I have to share a bedroom AGAIN with my sister. In England I had my own room, even a double bed. It was sweet. But it's all good. I don't mind sharing with my sister...again...for the second time in college...after our entire lives of having the same room at home...Nah, I'm just messing. I really don't mind it so much :)


So yeah...back at school...(Sidenote: Did you ever notice how often I use elipses?! A LOT! Sorry about that...) I am taking six classes this semester. They are as follows: African American Literature, History of English Language, Practicum in Integrating Technology into instruction, Literature and other media for Adolescents, Environmental Biology, and HORSEBACK RIDING!!!! It's not too bad of a schedule. Only one class on Mondays and my technology into instruction class never actually meets; it's just online. So that's pretty cool. I'm not really too worried about anything other than this Literature for adolescents class. I have to write a 20 page rationale for a book and also read approximately 20 books. I love reading, but I already have a huge list of books I want to read that I've been putting off. Looks like I have to put them off for just a little longer... :( I am totally pumped about horseback riding though. It's an hour and forty minutes every Friday morning AND I don't have to walk to the stables since my car is right here this semester. Yay!

In other news...it is freaking cold out! However, I LOVE winter! I got to go sled riding once over break. It was awesome. I managed not to hurt myself. My sister wasn't so lucky. She has a bruise the size of baseball on her thigh. haha. I mean...sorry, M. That sucks...I did get a bruise on my foot New Years though. One Miss Brandi Bright stepped on my foot with her high heel. I didn't really notice it at the time...but later...oh boy. Not fun. Bruises in general: not fun. I got another one when I bumped into the corner of our end table moving in the other day. Alright, when I begin talking about the weather and end up talking about bruises you know it's time for me to just stop. Seriously. What's wrong with me?! I just don't know when to stop. So I'll take my own hint...

Love is all you need :)
