Whew

I am tired, but nothing new with that! I haven't slept the night through since I've been here!

Thankfully I was able to sleep in today for a little bit, but still didn't sleep long enough!

I did get an email though, that government was canceled for today! I was SO excited. I have always loved history, but this class is different.  I've come to not enjoy Tuesdays and Thursdays very much.

I am sitting in the basement doing laundry and studying (or I should be).  I did laundry on Saturday, but some clothes fell behind my basket and I didn't get those washed! Jennah and I are hanging out in the basement :)

In other news, I am so hungry! haha... I have come to appreciate my momma's cooking even more. She has always been the BEST cook around, other than my aunt and grandma, but I really miss it! I miss cooking a lot too. And eating healthy meals.  I feel like I'm paying for this meal plan but I'm just eating junk all the time! I'd like some fruits and veggies please?!

100%

I got a 100% on my Bible Test this morning! I decided last night to stay up and work extra hard on the few verses I was struggling with.  Persistence pays off!

My friends are the sweetest! They saw my tweet earlier on in the day that I wanted Sour Patch Kids and Nerds, so at 10:45 last night, they ran to Walgreen's, without me knowing, and got those for me! And a best wishes balloon too! Thanks guys!

We sat and talked for a while, and then I went to sleep around 1.  1:30 this horrible, high pitched sound happens. The fire alarm was pulled and we all rushed down the 5 flights of stairs to wait outside.  We stood out there for forever. Two fire trucks had to come and two cop cars.... sigh. What a fun event that was! So, I went back to sleep around 3, just to wake up at 7!

Needless to say, I am exhausted (big surprise there!) and I'm off to class number 2 of the day!

Exodus 20

I have to have this memorized, word for word, for a test on Monday. I am spending tonight writing it, and re-writing it. And eating some skittles.... I am wishing I had some Coffee Health Bar Crunch Ice Cream though :D

Exodus 20

The Ten Commandments

 ¹ And God spoke all these words:

 ² "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

 ³ "You shall have no other gods before ^[a] me.

 ⁴ "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. ⁵ You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, ⁶ but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.

 ⁷ "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

 ⁸ "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. ⁹ Six days you shall labor and do all your work, ¹⁰but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. ¹¹ For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

 ¹² "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

 ¹³ "You shall not murder.

 ¹⁴ "You shall not commit adultery.

 ¹⁵ "You shall not steal.

 ¹⁶ "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

 ¹⁷ "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."

Laundry Time!

It's that time again, laundry time. :) I have no cell service in the basement, so I must blog! haha.

I feel like I've been so busy lately.  I can't imagine my life with the math class still!

I still feel homesick.

Only 13-14 days until I see my family!!! I am so excited. They are coming up here for Parent's weekend and I will check out of Hatley and stay with them in the hotel. YES!

Last night, I had a little adventure! A friend called me at 11pm and said she needed to go to the hospital! She doesn't have a car and needed a ride.  We headed over to the hospital and stayed until 3:30 this morning! Everything is alright, but it was a LONG night.  I had taken NyQuil right before she called me and I was sure tired this morning.  I wasn't able to sleep in this morning, and was up every hour!

Exciting times for sure!

My view from here

There was no rain in the forecast here today... Yet, I wake up to thunder shaking the whole building, the streets flooding and my desk lamp flickering! It is interesting being on the 5th floor... The rain is so much louder since the roof is right above me!

Go Oklahoma!

Can I go back here, please?

Thank you.

Wednesday already?

I hope that this whole year the next four years fly by as quick as this week has been.

I went home last weekend and it was pretty much amazing.  I had such a great and relaxing time so it was super nice.  My awesome dad put new shocks on my truck and it was a much smoother ride on the way back to school.  I can see my family in 21 days when they come up for Parent's weekend.  I'm pretty excited.

It has been raining all day here...  It makes for a gloomy day.  Not to mention being stuck in a torrential downpour and everything getting soaked.  My messenger bag with all my books was drenched.  Luckily it kept my books dry.  Now I am letting it dry in front of my fan.  There was seriously a lake in front of my dorm.  I had to take my shoes off and walk across the street barefoot.  The water came up to my calves.  My roommate just came in and said that it is still raining.... crazy! I'll have to swim to class tomorrow.

Well, I am off to work on some homework. Have a great afternoon :D

Today is the day!

I get to go home today! Whoo hoo!! I am so excited. Hopefully in 12 hours I will be in my house with my favorite people!

I plan to leave at 1, after my last class!

Math

Math has been a huge part of my stress level this week.

Tomorrow, I am going to drop the class.

Dropping a class is something I never wanted to do.

But, i decided to listen to my FAK and fit sociability in my life as well.

I cried for 2 hours tonight over math homework.

Then i went to target with the J's and then to Pop's lounge to get some Starbucks.  Then we went to late night dinner where a nice man made us bacon.

I had a fun night and I was able to laugh.

I am SO excited that this time tomorrow I will be at home. With my family. Showering in my own bathroom, where I don't have to wear shoes.

I am looking forward to hugs from my family.

Tomorrow will be a great day.

Cried

I have cried more this week than I think I have in my entire life.

I am normally a happy person. This week I have been crabby and whiny.

It feels like I have been here forever. When it's really been 2 weeks.

I hate the feeling that I can't handle something and I have been feeling that this whole week.

I have been praying about my attitude and my outlook on these classes.  In reality, all I really need or want is a hug from my family.

This time tomorrow, I will be on my way home and I CANNOT wait.

I'm sure I will cry some more, but I will be with the people that I love the most.
