Let it SNOW!

So the snow makes the campus much more appealing. Or my mind has just trained itself to think so. Classes are going well and I love being back at school. Being home was nice, and it was good to see everyone, but right now- this is where I belong. I’m actually dreading the summer when I have to be gone for so long.

One of the biggest draw backs of choosing to go to school so far away is the lack of nearby friends when class isn’t in session. My friend Beth, who is from Colorado, and I decided that it sucks more for us when we go home because we don’t get to see anyone from school. Most of our friends can meet in Chicago for the day, or drive down to St. Louis or Indy for the weekend and spend time with friends they’ve made at school. I’ve met one kid from Oregon while I’ve been here, and while he seemed nice, I’m not going to call him to hang out over the summer. This is a serious problem. Luckily I’ll be pretty busy this summer with classes and working, plus the wedding and all of that traveling, so hopefully it will go by quickly. I’m going to end up taking some summer courses at CCC so that I can fit a theology minor into my already packed nursing schedule so that will occupy a good portion of my time. I’m also thinking that in summers to come it would be fun to be a camp counselor for a majority of the summer at some (perhaps Lutheran? This is because that is God’s favorite denomination and I wish to find favor with him and the chosen ones.(edited by Beth)) Christian camp. A number of my friends here have done that, and I always thought it was a good idea. What better time to check that out than college? There’s even this program that sends you to one of a number of camps across the country which would be pretty sweet. Although, camp in a state like… Missouri just doesn’t sound as fun as the good ole PacNW. We’ll have to wait and see what the next year brings, and if it’s anything like the last year there’s no way I can even try to predict it.

This last weekend was a prime example of why I love college. Friday night I worked from 7-9 and then went with James and Jon down to Phi Sig for some frat fun. After several observational rounds of flippy cup and Beirut, I enjoyed meeting a lot of the guys and having a chill night. I’d be lying if I said it wouldn’t have been more fun to join in the drinking, but for now, I’m happy just watching- especially since I’m so competitive that watching any kind of game is entertaining to me.
(I was holding this beer for them while they played, so Jon thought he’d be funny and take a picture about it. Jamesy looks much more trashed than he really is)



Saturday was super fun. Beth and Katie took me out for dinner because we decided that we needed a girls’ night. So we got all dressed up and they took me to Café Fondue. They know me way too well. The food was excellent (seriously, whoever invented fondue should be made president of the world…or at least the food network), the waiter was hot (shout out to Tom... not that he’s reading this) and the whole dinner was just good times. Then we came back and got ready for the FOAM PARTY. Basically, for those of you that haven’t gotten to experience this amazingness, it’s a dance party with a foam machine that makes it like a dancing in a huge bubble bath. It’s mucho fun. Especially for a danceaholic like me. Plus my friends were there, and I wasn’t without a sweet dance partner all night, so it was pretty bomb. Except when I lost my shoes and then had to run back to the car bare foot in the snow. That wasn’t so fun.

Katie, Bethy and I dressed up for girls’ night. We look HOT.




Love and miss-
