Another week of classes has gone by and another track meet has been completed.  January is almost over and before I know it, the first week of March will be here, which means spring break will be here.

This week was another busy week.  I had lots of reading to do for my classes.

Tuesday night I ate dinner at Esther and Wendall's house here in Bluffton.  They have Bluffton students over for dinner so that way we can enjoy a home cooked meal and get away from eating at Marbeck for a meal.  They are such a nice couple and the meal Esther made was absolutely delicious.  She made a taco soup, chicken alfredo lasagna, wild rice, peas, and heated coleslaw.  And to end the meal, she made cream puff pie.  Everything was so good!

Friday night, my friends and I tried to go bowling at the Bluffton bowling alley here in town, but it was full when we got there.  We ended up coming back to campus and watching the Hangover and just relaxing for the night.

Yesterday, we were back at Findlay for another indoor track meet.  I ran the 3000 meter race again, and it didn't go as well as it did last time.  Oh well, it happens.  Least I got some speed work in and will just continue to work hard and get ready for the conference meet.  

We're supposed to get hit by a big winter storm early this week.  There's supposed to be snow and ice.  We will see what happens.

This past Friday we had our second indoor track meet of the year.  It was the first meet that I competed in though.  I ran the 3000 meter along with my friend and teammate, Alison, and we both did well.  We hit faster times than what we did last year by a couple of seconds.  We are both excited about the rest of the season.  It should be a good one.

Saturday night, my friends Kevin, Alison, Laurie, Dereck, Brandon, Amy, along with my boyfriend Michael all went to Chipotle up in Findlay.  When we got there, there was a quite a few other people from Bluffton as well.  It seemed like everyone wanted Chipotle that night.  Afterwards, Amy, Brandon, Michael, and I went back and watched Despicable me.  I love that movie and have seen it so many times that I am starting to quote along with it while watching it.  (Michael just laughed everytime I said something along with the movie)  It was just a nice and relaxing Saturday, which I needed after having so much homework to do during the week.

Another week of classes is under way and I already have so much homework to do, again.  Looks like another busy week.

I am tired of winter weather.  It's no fun to walk or run in. Walking to work and class today was horrible.  The water that was on the ground yesterday froze overnight, which made the sidewalks very slick.  Needless to say, I left a little early to get to classes on time, just in case.  I saw two people fall today.  Luckily, both were okay, but that just tells you how slick the sidewalks were.

This week has been a good one.  Only two more days of classes until it is the weekend again!  I love weekends. We have an indoor track meet Friday night up at Findlay University.  I am running the 3000 meter race, which means I won't be racing until like 8:15 pm since it is one of the final events of the meet.  That's okay though.  Just means I get to cheer on my teammates and lay around until I have to go warm up to race.  It'll be interesting to see how the race goes since it is my first race since cross country season ended.  I'm excited though.  I love competing.

Well, I got to go read some more for my Humanities class that is tomorrow.

First week of classes are the spring semester are done.  Now just to survive the rest of the semester.  I am going to be so busy having so much reading to do for my classes!!

I am so happy that it is a three day weekend.  I have spent the past two days just hanging out on campus with Michael.  It's just been so nice to relax with him and not really worry about classes.  Pretty much all my friends went home for the long weekend, and it seems that most of campus did, so it has been quiet around here.  I have been reading throughout the weekend for my classes though and have been able to get them done, which I am very happy about.  I just have to study for a quiz that I have Tuesday sometime tomorrow.

My mom and aunt are coming up tomorrow and we are all going out for lunch.  I am pretty excited! :)

Happy New Year Everyone!!! 

Winter break has come and gone, and now the spring semester is in full swing.  Classes started yesterday and from what I can tell, I am going to be a busy person this semester, and so are my friends.  Yesterday went really well though.  I only had Principles of Accounting 2 and Microeconomics, along with work and track practice yesterday.  Tuesday and Thursdays are my busy days, as I have classes at 8 am, 9:30 am, and 1:00 pm.  All of those classes are an hour and fifteen minutes long.  Even though I know it's going to be a busy semester between classes, homework, work, and track practice, I will still manage to have time to hangout with my friends.  If I didn't, I think I would probably go insane!

I enjoyed my winter break, but I am happy to be back on campus and be with everyone again.  From the sounds of it, my friends also had a good break.  We were all ready to be back on campus, but not necessarily ready to begin classes.  Now that classes have begun though, it's back to the same old routine like last semester. This semester should be a good one.
