Hello friends! Since I haven't written in two days, I thought I would take the time to fill you in. Neither day was over-exciting but nonetheless. Tuesday I had GSTR and we watched part of a documentary called Eyes on the Prize. It was pretty amazing. There were interviews of Martin Luther King's wife, Rosa Parks, and several other celebritized activists. I was surprised I'd never seen any of the clips before. Then, I had Calculus and you know that Skills Exam I mentioned? I PASSED! I was pretty stoked. I ended up only missing one. That afternoon, I went and was part of a psychological study for extra credit for my Psychology class. It was pretty interesting. Then, the Adopt-A-Grandparent team met and we practiced our skits for next week. Miranda's part is going to be epic. I wish we could record it. She's playing an over reactive elderly lady. It's based on a true story that me and her witnessed at the nursing home a few weeks ago.
Yesterday, EDS wasn't that interesting. We worked on prepping for writing a three page paper that's due Monday. We have to reflect on our reflections. Blahh. Haha. Later, I met with my advisor and decided that I'm only going to take two math classes next semester. I was originally going to take three but the third one that I was going to take is pretty tough and I can wait until later to take so. So, I am now going to take Calculus II, Teaching for Mathematics, GSTR 310, and Intro to the Old Testament. I'm pretty excited! I really wanted to take a religion class anyways. Last night, I had psychology class. Then, I went to the math lab to get help on a couple problems that I was unsure about. After that, I had a intramural game. The team was supposed to be insanely good and a team that beat us lost to them 40 something-6. We only lost 31-40 something. I was super stoked about that.
Today, I've only been to GSTR so far. I'm fixing to go to Calculus. Then, I am going to convocation, labor meeting, tutoring, grabbing a bite to eat, and heading to basketball practice at 8:30. After that, I'm working on the reflections paper until I feel the need to sleep.
There's my update! Now, I must go to class.
Adios amigos!
By the way, Lucas is coming tomorrow!! Yay!!!!

I-don't-know-what-to-name-this-one
I completed the first draft of my biggest paper this semester!! (a thousand smilies) I am super duper wuper ecstatic! A few other wonderful things I have happened today as well. Today is the first day of the week that Lucas is coming to see me! That means it's only four days until he's here. Also, my EDS professor only assigned a journal for Wednesday so I won't be stressing out over the homework for that class and I'll be able to spend more time on my Calculus. My psychology class also announced that there are several extra credit opportunities available for use over the next two weeks. I am going to take advantage of all of those opportunities in hopes that I'll pull an A out of that class.
One thing that I'm nervous about is taking the Skills Exam for Calculus tomorrow. I know that I'm not going to pass it because I don't know how to get a number plus a letter out from under a square root because you take anything out from under a square root when there's addition going on. It's scary. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention: You have to pass the skills exam in order to pass the class.
Anywho.
A couple more positives: I text Katelyn for a little while today. I ate somewhat healthy. I talked to Lucas. I finished my paper!! I helped Dan on his homework. We successfully planned a program that I'm excited about. My tutee's parents and I decided that I will officially tutor on Thursdays for the remainder of the semester. I had an amazing strawberry banana parfait! There are only 5 weeks of school left. Joel and Raissa are official!! Emily and Dan said I love you! Lucas and I are moving to Ireland! ;]
Well, that's all I really have for tonight. I'm too exhausted to really use my brain.
Noche.

Splendid Sunday
Tonight it's going to be short and sweet but I thought I had to write a little something.
Today was amazing!! My mom, dad, brother sister, Granny, Papa and boyfriend came to see me. My granny and papa wanted to see the campus because they had never been to Berea before. It was really cold and a lot of things didn't open until later in the afternoon so I only got to take them into Draper and my dorm(Anna Smith). After I showed them a little of the campus and we went to Boone Tavern, we decided to go to the Artisan Center and then Richmond to eat. We chose to eat at Cici's Pizza. I ate wayyyy too much! But it was absolutely delicious. Then we went and looked around a few shops.We came back and I showed them my dorm. Then, we went to Berea Coffee and Tea so that mom, Katelyn, and Lucas could get coffee. After that, they left and I came back to my room to get a bunch of homework done. I ended up spending quite a bit of time looking for research that I never found. Therefore, I had to come up with some new ideas for research that will support my thesis. So far it's going pretty good but I still like over 600 words before I even meet the word requirement. Eeeeck. So, I'm somewhat stressed about getting that paper done before class on Tuesday. On a lighter note, I have everything else finished besides that so that can be my main focus until 10am on Tuesday! I plan to spend all my spare moments trying to get it finished. Two more things that I did today were watch the UK game! Wooooo! And I played a game of basketball myself. We lost again, but the team worked really hard and I was proud of us regardless even though I did get a little frustrated immediately after.
But that's what my day consisted of. Spending some amazing time with my family and wishing I could just leave with them and cranking out some knowledge for all this homework I have due. Now, it's back to the homework for 100 more words.
Goodnight folks!

It's a New Day
Oh me. I just finished watching Pay it Forward all the way through for the first time and it was an amazing movie. Just thinking about how good it was makes me cry. It was a real tearjerker. Giving of yourself to help others out is what it should be all about her on Earth. There are so many time when I get so caught up in all the things that I have to get done and all the troubles that I have that I forget to stop and think about others who are having to worry about whether they survive through the night or stay up crying all night worrying themselves to death because they're afraid they're not going to be able to feed their kids. At the same time, the movie makes me realize that there is good in this world. Just like Trevor says in the movie, "The world's not a shithole." Excuse my language but it's true. Everywhere you go there are people with good intentions and people who really do strive to meet the needs of others who can't do it themselves. Look around. During Katrina, people offered money and resources and their time to ensure that the people of Louisiana and Texas made it through. Right now, in Japan, tons of money has been sent to aid the people effected by the earthquake and many have also rushed over to give their skills to help the nuclear plant problems. I also see everyday acts of kindness often. Every time I come to the crosswalk to go to lunch, people are stopping to let me across as soon as they see me, especially when it's cold or rainy. Another thing that I took away from this movie is that people do makes mistakes and really wish they hadn't turned out like they are but that doesn't mean that they can just decide that they're going to turn their life around one day and never have to look back. They're going to have the face the problem everyday and in order to defeat the problem they're going to need support. Sometimes I get so caught up in the wrong that a person is doing, I forget to just be their friend and be accepting of them and be a support system for them. I can be that someone they go to when they want to get away from the temptation, not someone who is judging them for their wrongdoings.
This is why I strive to make a difference. I currently struggle with one thing. Is it better to make a teeny difference in many peoples lives or a major difference in a very small number of lives? Really, I don't think either one is better. Sometimes I question which one is going to be me or if it's going to be a little bit of both, but I know in my heart that if I'm really doing my best to make a difference for others some thing positive is going to come out of it. Trevor is a great example of this. He thought that all of his efforts had failed and that nothing he did had made an impact, when it had a really made a bigger impact than he or his mother or Mr. Simonet could have imagined.
Today's list are some of my goals/ideas for way to make difference in people's lives.
1. Take an interest in people who are struggling and show them that you care about their life and how they turn out. It's super simple and can have a huge impact.
2. Find out a few families who are really struggling during Christmas time. After Christmas when they'll be struggling to pay their bills, put money and a note in a card and put it in their mailbox. Sign anonymously.
3. Pay for another family's meal while out to eat. Maybe even have the waitress give them a a message like, "God Bless. Pass the love on."
4. Give my time to a good cause. I want to volunteer frequently for events, camps, shelters, etc. Giving time can have the most impact on both parties. Plus, I get to see the results of what I'm doing.
5. Preserve Mother Nature. I'm really going to do my best to recycle, compost, limit my electricity use, buy products that are eco-friendly(especially groceries that have plastic packaging), and consume less.
6. Take people in when they need help. I hope I never have to turn anyone away.
7. Get the courage to give blood. I have a huge fear of getting blood drawn but it's something that I really need to do. I hope to accomplish this before I graduate college.
8. When there is an opportunity to give, take the time to do it. I get so angry with myself when I don't take the time to give back. Once I had learned in my Sunday school class that a girl's house burned down that wore the same size clothes as me and they were collecting clothes for her. I never ended up taking the time to go through my closet and find things that I could give to her. I still regret that.
9. To give at least 4 hours of my time per week doing something that benefits others.
10. I hope to eventually start a program for kids that help them get involved and learn more about community service and how important it is to get involved. This was something my hometown lacked.
Now, here's a link to two music videos that continue to inspire me every time I watch them.

I'd had a bad day today. Watching Pay it Forward and thinking about others lives and my own really lifted my spirits. We all have bad days. You just keep pushing forward and savor the good ones.
Goodnight.

UK time!
For starters, I'm currently watching the UK versus Ohio State game. It's been pretty intense so far! It's currently 41-42. Ohio. This is a really intense game on Berea's campus because so many students are from Ohio and others are such die hard UK fans. I'm definitely for UK. Gotta represent my home state!
The most interesting thing that I did today was go to Hobby Lobby with the Adopt-A-Grandparent team. It was quite a bit of fun searching through crafts. They had these awesome Easter decorations and some beautiful home decor. I've been saying for a really long time that that's the place I'm going when I get ready to decorate my house. There and Dollar Tree. For real. Going into a store like that makes me want to get creative and be crafty. If only I had the supplies in there to do it. The bad thing about Hobby Lobby is that their home decor is really pricey when it's not on sale. Anyways, that's where I'll be going this summer to get supplies to crochet and maybe get some supplies to start a scrap book for my time here at Berea.
Other than the trip to the Lobby, I had a meeting from 10-11 and got lots of homework done.
Now, good stuff.
In honor of UK...
-The University of Kentucky's WT Young Library is the largest public college library in the U.S.
-Pistol Pete scored 64 points against UK in 1970 but UK still won the game 121-105.
-UK just beat the number seat Ohio State!!!
Okay, well. I'm tired of looking up those and really tired in general. Therefore, I will continue this tomorrow night. Goodnight my loves!

Dia Tres!
Hello world. Night three of this blog. Yay me! I'm gonna do a super quick overview of my day then maybe respond to a random question or something. Here goes.
GSTR was nice today because my professor told us that he isn't to concerned with doing our citations in exact MLA, APA, Chicago, etc. format as long as we keep it consistent. I was super excited! That only worries me because I assume that he will expect better quality out of our papers because of it.
Calculus was terrible. Professor Barnard went through the material way too fast. I wasn't understanding any of it and none of the people around me were either. It makes it worse that she is the type of professor that has a negative seeming attitude because this keeps everyone from asking questions. It stinks. Plus, I found out earlier this week that she is the professor for my Calculus II class. To make matters worse, it's at 8am. I just might have to learn to like coffee to make it through that class.
In labor meeting, we had speakers from Save the Children. It wasn't really that great.
After that, I had tutoring. Carlie did soo good today! She read a book that was at her grade level which she's never done with me before! I was soo excited for her! And she was sounding out words that she normally would get frustrated with or be completely wrong about. I'm thankful for her progress because I was feeling a little down because I didn't feel like she was making any progress for several weeks.
At 8pm, I had basketball practice. It was a great workout that I really needed. I like it much better than straight out running. Plus, I found out what a pick was and defensive zones. I'll be a pro before you know it! Huhuh.

Day Two
Yay! I made it back on the second day. This is a good sign. So, my day was fabulous except for the fact that I'm exhausted. For some reason my body hasn't felt rested lately. This morning I had EDS 150. I found out that I'll be a fifth year student if I stick with that program because it requires that you stay here nine semesters. I also found out that I'll have to take summer classes between my junior and senior year. And the way it's looking I could have to stay more summer terms if I get behind in either major. Last night, the schedule of classes was sent out. I worked on one potential schedule which included 5 classes, 3 of which are math. That's one positive because I'll be able to get ahead in my math major requirements. I also talked to my professor who said that I had some thinking about what I really wanted to do so that I could pursue my passion and not be in a program that I'm going to regret in the end. Picking a major stresses me out. After that, I went to lunch and ate real fast. Boring. Then, I went to work and got on Facebook while waiting for one which is the time I'm supposed to clock in. I worked for 40 minutes and then ran out of stuff that I wanted to do. Most of the tasks were stuff that I didn't feel prepared to do on my own. I clocked on from work and went to Anna Smith to get a jump rope because we were going to use it in program. Raissa came in the dorm while I was in here and we talked for a few minutes. She was coming back to get ready for her game. I also cleaned the room some because Granny is coming this weekend and she'll have a cow if the room looks like it does right now. At 2:30 Katie and I went to pick the kids up. There had a been a storm warning that the campus had warned us about that was supposed to start at 4 so we didn't know if we were going to get to take the kids out but we checked the weather and it wasn't supposed to be here until around the time they were supposed to leave. Before we took them outside, we helped them with homework and gave them ham and cheese or pb&j sandwiches with chips and kool-aid. I just had 2 tablespoons of peanut butter since I'm really trying to watch my wait. The kids seemed to have a really great time! They gave everything we did today a five. Oh yea, by the way, we only had three kids today. Vinny, Timothy, and Lane. Around 4:30 the weather started getting bad so we went back to CELTS and let them play in the couch room for awhile. After work, I went to food service where I are a little more than I should have because I couldn't make up my mind about what I wanted to eat. Psychology sucked! It's soo boring and irritating. The quiz was ridiculous. The people who read the chapters didn't even know the answers. I was ecstatic when she dismissed just because I was ready to be out of there.
Now, I've written some on my research paper but I still like nearly 200 words. Argh! GSTRs will be the death of me. Because after working on it for about twenty minutes I got bored and finished reading the article then decided to write today's blog. It's sad that I do whatever I can to get out of writing this thing because now I'm talking to Lucas too.
Okay, now on to something more interesting. Since I don't have a lot of time I'm going to do a quick list of some of my favorite Disney movies. Let's go with top 7.
1. Pocahontas
2. Finding Nemo
3. Cinderella
4. The Lion King
5. The Princess and the Frog
6. Shrek
7. Up!
This list is debatable and I could change my mind if I actually watched the movies but these are the ones that come to mind when I think about movies that I really love. By the way, they are in no particular order!
One more quick list. 5 things to keep it interesting in a long distance relationship.
1. Play Words with Friends
2. The Question Game through text
3. Writing letters back and forth expressing feelings that you don't normally or talk about things that don't normally get brought up in casual conversation
4. Send small gifts through the mail purchase them online.
5. Call each other at random times during the day so that your partner will know your thinking about them.
That's all folks! Enjoy!

First Attempt At This
Hi World! This is my first attempt at keeping up with a blog. Hopefully it'll work out for the best. So, here goes. My day started off a little sleepy. I got an hour and a half less shut eye than normal and I had to wake up and finish a paper that I had procrastinated on. Up until lunch everything was back to normal. Then, I got a text that reminded me that we didn't have program today which meant we didn't have to go to work. I was super stoked! This was going to allow me to get quite a bit of my homework done early. Then, in Calculus, I found out that I made an 86 on our last exam which was a thirteen point increase from last time! During Calculus, I got a text that said we were having program today which irritated me a little because it seems that our Coordinator isn't very involved or concerned whether he keeps us informed and up-to-date. Plus, I had to revise my homework plan and am now behind. On a positive side, the program went really well even though the kids didn't really have much to do. After program, I went to my dorm to get my laptop and cranked through my Journal that's due tomorrow for EDS which made me feel pretty accomplished. At 6:30 I went to supper. Afterwards, I went to the cafe with Erica to work on homework but I got nothing accomplished. At 8 I had to be in the Upper Seabury Gym for the Berea Country Dancers convocation. Some of the dances were interesting, but I caught myself nodding off several times. Now, I'm back in my dorm procrastinating on my homework that's due on Thursday. Oops. So, there's my day. I haven't got to talk to Lucas much today. We've both been extra busy. I haven't got the chance to talk to my parents either. Boo.
Oh yeah, today was BEAUTIFUL! I should have taken a picture. The beautiful weather has motivated me to dress cute again! It's a miracle! I'm so ready and excited for summer to be here! I'm ready to spend QT with my family and my man. It's going to be an extremely peaceful and relaxing break. Plus, I plan on getting some stuff accomplished. Here's a couple of those things:
-Learn how to crochet
-Learn how to make my granny's strawberry preserves
-Read Half the Sky, Dreams from my Father, Safe Haven, and several other books that I can't remember
-Finish Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
-Lose a few pounds
-Save several hundred dollars to help pay for Fall and Spring Semester next year
-Learn more about computers!
-Disconnect from Facebook for awhile
-Play Bingo for the first time!
-Better my cooking abilities
-Get back in shape by going to the YMCA frequently!
Yeah, so I have lots of things to get done this summer! I'm getting pretty pumped for it! Well, I think that's enough for tonight. I still have homework to do and I have to get plenty of sleep so I'll be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for tomorrow. Goodnight!
