On The Road Again.....

So tomorrow I finally get to go home to Lovell for Thanksgiving. I miss my my family, my home when I'm away, and my mom's delicious cooking! I'm so excited to get to eat all the yummy Thanksgiving food!!

I have an exam at 8 in the morning for Human Anatomy, and then I'm going to be skipping Calculus so I can get to Lovell before dark! It's so nice to be able to go to Lovell, spend time with my family, and not have to turn around and come back two days later. I'll be headed to Lovell between 9 & 9:30 and drive for 6 hours! YUCK, but it's totally worth it to get to go home! It's snowing a little here again in Laramie, but that's to be expected with the lovely weather here, and that just gives me another good reason to skip math and come home earlier!

The day is going to go quickly because of course I have an exam tonight, I'll get home and pack, then study for my other exam, go to bed, then take my exam tomorrow morning, and then LOVELL HERE I COME! I can't wait to see my family!!

It's Finally Time....

Tonight I am going to the midnight premier of New Moon; I am super excited! I have been waiting for this to come out for a long time. Even though I'm going to be very tired tomorrow at school it's totally worth it. Who knew that books & movies about vampires would be get me so excited?!

Luckily everything worked out with my school work and I don't have anything that's due tomorrow, I had 2 exams yesterday, got registered for my classes next semester, one exam Monday, one Tuesday, and I don't have any homework due until Monday, so I don't have anything to worry about for tomorrow, THANK GOODNESS!

Walking In A Winter Wonderland....

Well It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas & we're Walking In A Winter Wonderland here in Laramie. I guess the weather doesn't realize that it's over a month early! It started snowing two nights ago late and snowed all day yesterday. The sun came out at the end of the day yesterday and melted a bit of the snow. Now today, it's been snowing all day long! Luckily it's not too cold because the wind isn't blowing. I love the snow, if only it didn't make driving miserable. If it could snow everywhere except the roads, snow would be just fine!

Last year, the winter here in Laramie wasn't too bad. It looks like it's making up for it already... it makes me a little nervous to see what the winter is going to look like if it's snowing this much already! Hopefully it doesn't get too bad as everyone says it does, but we'll see!

The snow does get me excited for Christmas because there's nothing like a white Christmas.... Only a week until Thanksgiving, two weeks after that until my birthday, and twelve days after that until Christmas! WOW, this semester & entire year has gone by so fast!

Not Much Going On.....

Well I don't have too much going on right now...just school, homework, exams, and then I get to start all over again!

Two weeks ago Matt Koritnik, Kayla Green, and I headed to Lander for our sister's regional volleyball. The Lady Bulldogs did very well taking 2nd place at regionals, losing to Rocky in the Championship.

After getting back to Laramie and into my school routine, we had a BIG snow storm. Tuesday within about 2 hours it snowed about 3-4 inches! Laramie was supposed to get about 2 feet of snow in two days, but luckily we didn't get quite that much. I was really bumbed because all the roads were closed & I didn't think I'd make it Casper for State... as luck would have it the roads opened up Thursday after my classes, so Matt & I took off for Casper and skipped class on Friday because the roads were not in good enough condition to make a trip back to Laramie that night.

It was nice to have a long weekend with my family & watch Dani play her last year of volleyball! Well, she is quite the stud & and did awesome! Lovell placed 4th, the only team from the West to place at the state tournament!

With these 2 breaks, there's only 2 and 1/2 weeks until Thanksgiving vacation, after Thanksgiving break I'll have 1 more week of classes & then Finals are the following week!! The semester is almost over & I'm so excited!! For now though it's a lot of homework, pretty much the same routine every day, and not much to do in good 'ole Laramie! But the end is coming quick, so I can handle it for a few more weeks!

YAY for BABY....

I'm soo excited!! Kara had her baby today. She had a baby boy and he weighed 8 lbs 5 oz. His name is Dallin Lee Bischoff, he's one handsome little boy & I'm so happy he's finally here! Congratulations Kara & Jason! I can't wait to get to see this handsome little addition to the family!

Lots of Work....

During the school week, I have so much homework. All I do is go to school, come home & do homework, go to bed, and then wake up & do the same thing all over again. It's not too bad though because it makes the time go much faster.

Exams have started in the past few weeks, and starting next week I have an exam at least once a week. I can't believe how fast this semester is going though, it's already October & I've already been in school for 6 weeks and there's only 10 more weeks left!! I can't believe how fast time flies!!!

I'm doing pretty well in all my classes so far, hopefully it keeps going that way. I got a B on my Organic Chemistry exam, an A on my Calculus exam, an A on my Statistics exam, and a C on my Human Anatomy exam.

Last weekend, I got to go home to Lovell because this week I didn't have any exams, one of the only 2 weeks this semester that I don't have any exams. I was so excited to see my family, I got to see everyone. Luckily, I went home because on Wednesday Melissa & her family moved to Phoenix. I got to watch both Dani & Emi play volleyball, and they did so awesome! I'm sad I don't get to watch them play more because it's so much fun. Katelyn, Jacob, and Darius look so much older. Laramie is different now that Kara & Jason moved to Lovell.

The next time I'll get to see my family is probably at Halloween in Casper when Dani is playing at state volleyball. Maybe possibly for regional volleyball, depending on my schedule & when Dani's games are. Hopefully everything works out & I can get down there. School is keeping me busy, busy, busy. Before I know it the semester is going to be over!

On top of going to class, being a TA, & homework, I also get to apply for pharmacy school! My application is due on December 1st!! I have to take my PCAT exam October 17th, it's coming up quick! I can't believe it's already that time to be applying for pharmacy school. If I get accepted the first time I'll start next fall and be done in 4 years! I'm so excited & hope everything works out!!!!

Labor Day Weekend....

This weekend, Melissa, Derek, and Darius came down to Laramie because Derek was going to play in the UW Alumni Game on Saturday. I had a lot of fun while she was here!! They got here Thursday night after I got out of school at 3:00. We bumbed around the house after they got here, made dinner, & watched a movie later that night. Nothing too exciting happened because I had school the next morning.

Friday I left for school at 8:00 & didn't get done until 5:00 because I had a 4 hour safety training I had to attend in order for me to be a TA. I went straight from the Classroom Building to the Arena Auditorium, where Derek was having a 3-Point Shootout. Derek did good & it was a lot of fun to watch (I got to play with Darius the whole time too). After the shootout was over, Derek wanted to stay to play a pick-up game with some of the other Alumni, so Melissa, Darius, & I went to eat at Godfather's Pizza. It was Yummy!!!! By the time dinner was over I was ready to be home!! Melissa dropped me off at home & was off to the Ark, where her and Darius went to visited some people she used to work with. The rest of the night was spent being lazy.

Saturday was the first UW Football game vs. Weber State at 1:00. Darius only lasted until half-time, so Melissa ended up taking him home to nap before Derek's basketball game. Boy was it Hot at the game. The temperature was only about 76 degrees, but if felt way warmer. I got a pretty bad sunburn, & now I have an awesome line from where my shirt sleeve ended!! UW won 29-15 (which made it totally worth it to bear the heat)!! After the game, I went back to the house, picked Melissa & Darius up, then headed to Derek's game. Derek's team did well, they led the entire game until the end. They ended up losing 101-105! It was a nail-biter to the end!! Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun, especially Derek & he did really good! While Derek & the rest of the Alumni stayed at the gym to sign autographs, Melissa, Darius, Stacy, Dana, Jake, Stacy's friend Jen, & I went to eat at Corona Village. I have to say I wasn't too impressed, but everyone else was. It didn't help that I wasn't very hungry, so maybe I'll have to give it another try!! After we got home, I babysat Darius so Melissa & Derek could go out on a much needed date.

Melissa's family went home this morning while I was gone to church (my church starts at 9:00). It's sad that they had to go home because I had so much fun seeing them. I'm glad they came down this weekend to see me, I had a Blast!!
