Here there, everyone! I really miss you all and I hate not responding to your wonderful comments! School's been insane. I haven't passed the last two tests even though I've studied my brains out. They were incredible hard ones: biology and math. Both are my weak points in school! I'll be taking Natural Science next week to try and make up for the biology.  Also, I've been working on Micro and Macroeconomics these past two weeks. I'm taking the test for Micro on Wednesday and Macro on Friday. Please pray for me!!

There have been some people who went home.  *sigh* Last week was very draining, but still, it was good.

Spring break is coming up in TWO WEEKS!!!! I am so happy about that. Everyone desperately needs this break. I'll be visiting Georgia with my roommate, Sarah. I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of her family! My brother, Cameron is coming along with her brother, Ryan. It's going to be really fun.

Well, to dowse some curiosity and to satisfy anyone who is dying for pictures here goes! 

1) Watching the Super Bowl on a projector, it was amazingly fun!
2) The Giants won!! Woot! (sorry Pat fans)
3) My awesome friends that I sat with near the back. I'm the second to last.

18) A group of us went ice skating on Saturday.








I have so many more but it'd be too much to share. 
Love you all!! I hope you've been having an awesome time with your schooling and families! ♥♥♥

Well, our first week of school is almost over (thank goodness) and I feel as if I have been run over by a train. I am so tired, haha! And I'm quite sure everyone else does too. Were studying World Religions, which is quite interesting. It was great when the dean of men, Ian came into the class once and was saying randoms sayings from Confucianism which I shan't repeat. Got us all laughing. My favorite part so far has been this:
Wu-Wei – was a reaction to the conflicts. Do nothing or you might try and change someone else’s “duh”.
I'm serious! It's called the Te (“duh”) and Wu-Wei is the principle of inactivity. We must be very careful not to disturb everyone else's "duh"s or we might cause conflicts.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! :)

Wow, it seems like a lifetime since I've last been here. o.O Oh man!! I've missed everyone! ♥♥♥♥♥ How have you all been?!?!

We had a "Christmas" banquet about a week ago. :P Gah, got me in a mindset that when I got home that it would be Christmas. Here's a pic of me and my roommates: <3

Alrighty, I'll start with Sunday:

My brother (he's the finance guy for the program) and I came home on Sunday. We got on our first plane just fine and then when we landed in Phoenix, AZ at 7:35 pm we rushed straight over to our next flight and found out that they had closed the gate at 7:35 pm. They changed the time on us! It was really weird and random. Thankfully, they let us on because they were filling up the plane's gasoline tank. Our luggage came Monday in the evening.

School!! So far I've taken 6 tests, 5 of them were CLEP tests and one was a DANTES. Each of these are taken after two weeks of studying. Here's what I took:
Interpreting & Analyzing Lit = passed
English Lit = passed
American Lit = failed (by 2 points!!)
Humanities = passed
English Composition = haven't found out yet since it was to be written out and the people will mail my score to me
Tech Writing = failed (by 2 points!!) xO
Next year my schedule is going to be a lot busier. I'll be gone for 5 MONTHS. Oy!!

Ok, so I've been sitting in my house doing absolutely NOTHING productive and I'm LOVING it!!! xD I stay up late and then sleep in as long as I can. Lol.

Well!! Another week has come and gone. Were off to a *ahem* great start for the English Composition. I have to say that I did not realize what a bad writer I am. Gah!! When I give in my essays and they are returned to me all I can see are all the RED MARKS!! Soooooooooooo many of them.... yes, pretty scary. So! Please pray for me on that. PLUS! These are to be written out in 45 minutes and I am having to work on that.

I've been having an interesting week full of letdowns and strange days...well, I would have to say every day at Verity is odd. Tea parties (why????), basketball, football, hockey and birthday parties! The staff and students are fun, though. Never a dull moment! (Except when they're all away) There are so many interesting people to talk to that I think it's rare when I'm not laughing. Haha, in a good way. So many personalities, lots of clashing and lots of bonding. Fun fun!

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!!!! Were going to be doing an etiquette thingiewingie next week (not a bad thing) and I cannot wait until it is over. It is because of the upcoming Christmas banquet. Good? Yes. Going to be awkward? Yes. Wah. *sigh* Oh well.

I'm so excited!!!!! Only 12 more days until I go home! WOOT!!! Cannot wait!
