Back to School!

Well, we are about 3 or 4 weeks into school at this point. I like pretty much all of my classes and most of my professors. Some of them are a little hard to warm up to. And I'm not going to say anything negative in a blog because it will exist FOREVER. Feel free to ask for more details in person.

In terms of my social life, I have met many new and interesting people. For the most part, this has been a positive experience. I also am PUMPED for another year of Phi Lamb! I was recently elected Treasurer of our chapter and I am so excited to serve my sorority and help to make Phi Lamb the best experience possible for as many girls possible.

I'm so looking forward to the coming weeks! I have money coming for school which will be immensely helpful. And my birthday is coming up! (September 30th) I expect, nay demand, a phone call from my immediate family and close friends. That will be a school day, so after 2:00 pm please.

I am also looking forward to Valerie's wedding! I am so happy that she is happy! And I really wish that I had been able to go with my Mom when she went to visit her recently, but alas...I was unable to.

Speaking of birthdays and my Mom....

Happy Birthday, Momma! I love you!

My life SUCKS!!!

So, I just finished my first day back and it wasn't so bad. I'll have some homework and I have to actually attend class this semester, but all in all not so bad. Its great starting a second year and knowing where everything is, and already having friends and stuff.

So why does my life suck, you ask?

Well, I'll tell you why. I somehow contracted a virus on my computer. (Maybe I was trying to watch TV on foreign websites...I dunno...) It was annoying at first, but now its just scary and EXTREMELY frustrating! Especially since I didn't get my music backed up before my computer started blue-screening repeatedly and finding virus after virus in system files. No bueno. (By the way, Valerie it would be awesome if I could borrow your CD collection again...) So in addition to cleaning over Labor Day, I will also be reformatting my laptop. (Party at my house for like a MILLION hours!)

Life also sucks when you are broke. My loan check still hasn't come so I can't afford to buy books. I need books. Especially for Russian. Learning an alphabet is hard without a book.

I'll be much happier when I can type blog posts on my own laptop in bed instead of downstairs in the computer lab. But for now...My life SUCKS!!!

The time to leave is approaching fast!

Well, folks, I am getting ready to once again pack up and haul myself and a sizable about of my stuff to Denton for school. In about 2 weeks! I am SO not ready for this...I have too much to do and too little time to do it.

I go in on the 4th to have 4 teeth removed in preparation for braces (finally!). Among the four is the tooth that has been a pain in my...mouth...ever since it formed. It got infected soon after it erupted when I was 6, I had a pulpotomy (which is a pediatric version of a root canal). The crown proceeded to come off several times (a child should be able to eat fruit snacks free of the fear of ruining a tooth) over the next 10 years. At that point my dentist told me it was time to bite the bullet and get a root canal. By the of course, the root of my tooth had calcified and it would take several re-constructive techniques to save the tooth. I begged my dentist to let me have it pulled and be done. He won. I did everything humanly possible to save this tooth.

On the way back from visiting my sister for the fourth of July I was innocently chewing gum on the airplane. My jaw started to hurt. Curiously, it was around my "dead" tooth. I get home, take a nap, and wake up with a swollen jaw. NO FUN. That Wednesday I find out that it is re-infected. To make a LONG story short, (I know, I know, too late. That's what you think...) I am finally getting rid of this stupid freaking tooth on Monday! Sorry for the rambling, but you all know me...Some of you are related to me and know where I get it from.

Any extra prayers that can be thrown my way are very much appreciated! Also, for those of you in Houston: I would love to see you before I leave for school. If it doesn't work out, I understand, its all good, and I'll see you at Thanksgiving or Christmas!

Hugs from Me!

So...

I have decided to start a blog! I always mean to keep people updated on things that are going on, and it never happens. I figured this might make it easier.

Right now I am getting ready to go hit the beach and it is going to be AWESOME! So, I have to get back to that, but I just wanted to take a little time to get this rolling.

More to come soon!
