hotness....and vaca

dude it's like hot again....weird?
FALL BREAK STARTS ON FRIDAY!!!

Soon to be winter?

It's getting cold here now. Saturday it went up to 90 degrees but today it was in the 50s. It was a jeans-and-jacket kind of day. Where on earth did the cold front come from? On the one hand, I'm glad, because it's a nice change to wear jeans and jackets and not have to worry about getting sweaty and gross on your way to class. On the other hand...I miss the warmth! I hope we can salvage a few more days of this "Indian Summer," as my roomie says.

I hope this post will buy me five minutes

AHHHHH i have another huge test tomorrow. Kill me. I don't exactly feel like studying for it.
I went and saw Keely & Du, VU Theater's current play, with my Visions group tonight. It was phenomenal. Fantastic acting. Thought I'd share.

Okay actually the only reason for this post is that I'm trying to procrastinate as much as possible. Thank God it's almost the weekend!

October! yeah!

School is starting to get REALLY busy. I had an Oceanography test today--first one of the semester. My friend Kathleen and I studied for it for eight hours (!!!) last night. That's probably the most I've ever crammed for a test. Then I got up early this morning and studied another two hours. It's all good though, because the test wasn't too bad. I've got another test on Friday and then I should be good for a while. And if you're wondering, no, eight-hour study sessions aren't a regular occurrence. No worries.
I have to admit though....despite the late-night study sessions, life is good right now. I love the advent of fall here. Family weekend was this past weekend, and I'm happy to say that my family came up from Atlanta to be here with me. We went out to dinner with all of my friends and their parents...you can imagine how big our reservation was. We had a really fun time though!
Now October is here and I'm just delighted ("just delighted"???). Really though, October is such a great month--perfect weather, Homecoming, fall break, Halloween (I think I'll be a pirate this year), etc. Annnnd I'm super excited because the JukeBYX party is on Saturday night!!! For all those not familiar with the Van-day lingo, BYX (Pronounced "bucks") is the Christian Fraternity here, and every year they throw a 90's dance party which consists of 90s music (Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, pretty much everything from the middle school era), slap bracelets, Capri Suns for all, and lots of people in 90s-themed costumes (last year I saw a bunch of girls dressed up as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). All in all I'm super excited for this party.

Hmmm...long update, eh? Well maybe I'll post again later this week.
Yeahhhh October!
