Wisconsin

This has been going around on Facebook. I think it is cute and I wanted to share!

Wisconsin, according to Jeff Foxworthy:

 If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you may live in Wisconsin. If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't even work there, you may live in Wisconsin. If you've worn shorts and a jacket at the same time, you may live in Wisconsin. If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with some...one who dialed a wrong number, you may live in Wisconsin. If "vacation" means going anywhere North of Milwaukee for the weekend, you may live in Wisconsin. If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Wisconsin. If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in Wisconsin. If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day and back again, you may live in Wisconsin. If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you may live in Wisconsin. If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both doors unlocked, you may live in Wisconsin. If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in Wisconsin. If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you may live in Wisconsin. If the speed limit on the highway is 70 mph, you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you may live in Wisconsin. If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you may live in Wisconsin. If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you may live in Wisconsin. If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you may live in Wisconsin. If you find 10 degrees "a little chilly", you may live in Wisconsin. If you actually understand these jokes, repost this so all of your Wisconsin friends and others can see, you definitely do live - or have lived - in Wisconsin.

twenty

no more teens. I am now in my "twenties."

honestly, it feels kind of strange, but not that much different. not yet anyways.

today has been good. I am blessed. I got so many sweet calls, texts, and Facebook messages from friends and family. it made celebrating my birthday here on campus not that bad. it was hard to be away from my family but having FaceTime helped a lot :-)

i really need to go study. i have two tests left this week and they are big ones. prayers appreciated!

Nope.

I found this picture on Pinterest. I seriously laughed until I cried. Twice. 

I just think it is so funny! Maybe I am just crazy, or delirious! 

I survived...

the biggest earthquake in Oklahoma's history.

Last night about 10:30, I was laying in bed when my bed started shaking, my iHome fell over on my nightstand, and my closet door closed on it's own. I didn't know what to do! It was certainly very freaky. The earthquake lasted about 30 seconds, but today at church many people said they thought it lasted up to a minute.

This was a 5.6 magnitude earthquake that certainly put my life into perspective. I realized how small I really am. While it was frightening, I am so thankful that God protected me!

Windy City

I'm sitting here, cross-legged, in a booth at Panera. I have my books, notes, and computer sprawled out in front of me and I'm looking periodically out the window. I think that Oklahoma City, or Bethany, should be renamed the windy city. Trees, that are pretty small, and nearly laying sideways near where my car is parked. It looks cold out there, but it really isn't... the wind just makes it seem that way.

Bethany had another earthquake early this morning. I guess it was at 2:30am. I didn't feel it because I was sleeping...deeply for once! My roommate had tried to call me about 12:30 and I never heard my phone. I was exhausted and finally slept good for once!

I'm sitting at Panera, because I have a test in 10 days--and another some time around then.

A test on my birthday....with one of the toughest professors....fun.times.

Panera has been my "get-a-way" spot here in OKC. I have those times when I just need to get out of the dorm and look at some different scenery. Panera has the perfect blend of people watching, soft music, comfy booths, sweet tea with lemon, and free Internet. Having the big table to spread all of my lovely materials all over is just an added bonus.

So, I will sit here and continue to read chapter after chapter about sociology....

Then it's on to the next study guide. 

Have a wonderful Saturday!

Don't Give Up.

These next few weeks.

These next few weeks are going to be busy, busy. busy.

I have a presentation next week, 2 papers, quizzes, tests, and assignments.

I haven't been able to turn my mind off lately at night. That means I haven't been sleeping good....or enough. I wish I had my father's disease where I could fall asleep the minute my head hit the pillow, but I find myself thinking of the most random things for the longest time. It's glorious...not.

I think it's the gloomy weather too, but i've been pretty tired!

I am missing my comfortable bed!!

Well, I am off to type a paper!

Fall Break

was fantastic.

Seriously. I needed to get away for a bit!

I had such a fun and relaxing time; I got to see some framily, be home for my momma's birthday, play on my daddy's tractor, babysit, go to my home church, and hang out with the best family ever.

I have come to the conclusion that I am beyond blessed.

The only thing I forgot at home was my straightener; i'd say that's pretty good :-)

I am ready for another week of classes, assignments, projects and homework.

Thanksgiving break? only 29 days away! Let the countdown begin!!

13.9

days that is... days until fall break. 

I am still sick. I am sure it is allergies that just enjoy lingering around taking away my appetite, motivation, and making me tired...yet not able to sleep. 

My next two weeks are going to h.e.c.t.i.c so I hope that I start to feel better and can sleep again starting soon! I have all my midterms (is it really that time of the semester already??!) and quizzes along with projects and random school things due all before fall break. 

By writing all my little notes and lists, I am certain it will get done however, I am just a tad nervous about some of the tests that are coming up. My semester has been crazy so far since some of the professors changed their mind about what they were doing with the class, one professor left so now we have a totally different prof who teaches different for the rest of the semester, and one prof is pregnant and she is very scatterbrained, one prof has been teaching for too long and I don't think she knows what she wants anymore! It's just difficult to study and prepare for tests when I'm not sure what to expect or what they want. I'm sure it'll be just fine though!

I'm looking forward to sleeping in my own bed, cuddling with my doggie, and seeing my family and some amazing friends! 

just 13.9 more days. 

sickness

This past weekend was such a fun one! My family came to Oklahoma to see me. I hadn't seen them in a month so it was a much needed visit :-) We hung out around Bethany and went into some cute shops. Kathleen's car needed new tires so we visited Sam's Club too! I was sad to see them go. Even though I get to go home at the end of this month, it is still hard to say goodbye and watch them leave.

I started not to feel good last night...I was so thankful that one of my classes was cancelled at the last minute today. I used "class time" to run to the store for medicine, cough drops, kleenex, tea, and lemons. I didn't have any homework to do this afternoon, so just laid around and napped on and off. I was really hoping that would help, but I still don't feel so great! I'm praying I can sleep tonight and that nyquil will kick this sickness to the curb. I don't care how old you are, I think being sick requires a mom! haha. I am glad that I wasn't sick this weekend while my family was here, so I guess I really can't complain!

I'm counting down the days to fall break already. I am ready to be home!

Happy October!
