Thanksgiving




Had an amazing Thanksgiving break back home. It felt like forever since I'd been home and also like no time at all. I had so much fun getting to go to Shawnee Mission Park and get me a little bit of nature. I also had such a fun time eating out with the family, and Thanksgiving was a blast. Got to see Tony and Ben on Friday too which was fun. David Cook was Friday night and I ran into Renita there, which was awesome! Love me some David Cook. Get to see him tomorrow too!

I loved being back home and getting to see everyone. That will always be home no matter where I end up.

I am still glad I came to school here even though the easier (and financially smarter) move would've been to go to KU or something. I have already learned tons here and am becoming more independent and able to do things on my own. I think it's good to learn how to do things by yourself. It's an adventure.

Can't wait for break in just under 2 weeks! Should be sweet to see Casey and Heather again and get to be home for a few weeks. ;)

Quick update


Took the basic skills test Saturday. I need to pass it to continue with my program next year. I feel good about it but I don't find out my score until next month. Cross your fingers!

I'm having a hard time concentrating on anything because Thanksgiving break is soon and then Christmas is right after that.

I went to go see the Twilight stars last Tuesday and Christina Perri. It was a lot of fun and very cool but I kept wishing so many people could be there with me!

Well, I'm uninspired so this is a short one. More later!

It's been a while


Been super busy lately so it's hard to find time to write.
Had an amazing time last weekend with Jacqueline and Ciara. We went to Gino's East pizza and waited a ridiculously long time for very yummy deep dish pizza. It was just as good as Giordano's if not a tad bit better! The Halloween race was so much fun! It was a blast getting to run in costume. Being Batgirl totally made me like 10,000 times more confident. It's funny what a superhero costume will do for you. That evening we checked out a cozy little bar in Wrigleyville. Fun little place with normal people. There were even board games you could play. It was just so much fun to have people to hang out with who knew me and who I could completely be myself with. I've met some great people here but I'm not close to anyone like I was back home or at Philmont yet so last weekend was so much fun.

This weekend I stood in line in the cold morning for almost 4 hrs to get a ticket to see the Cullens minus Edward (That's Twilight people, Grandpa) on Tuesday. Met some nice people in line. Can't wait!
