Home.

Yes. I. Am. Home. 

Let that fact reign prominent! We won't mention the fact that I am battling fierce storms of headaches, dreadfully painful throats, the loss of my voice (home after 3 1/2 months--who would want to talk?), and now the eruption of a fountain in the topmost portion of my head. OH joy! They told me at college that it was very common to get sick as soon as one got home. Because of the automatic elimination of stress after finals. Hehe, I guess they were true in my case. Not exactly how I planned my first week at home. But, hey, let's look on the bright side: it could be worse. I could be stuck in an airport somewhere. Or have limited internet access and not be able to tell you all this. Or not have a family and home to return to. Or have to eat cafeteria all vacation. Now that's a frightful thought! Ah, the lovely food my beautiful mother is already fed me! I await the hour I can be let loose in that wondrous kitchen myself and let loose the flurry of goodies that will let loose your taste buds and expand the waistline. =P

So, I was thinking earlier.... I should probably get started on my Christmas shopping! I feel just peachy with myself: who buys ONE Christmas present in FL, and then goes and leaves it there??? Yeah, um, that would be me.! But, hey, somebody lucky will have an extended Christmas season. Haha! 

A college update? Well. Um. I think it went well. For the most part. The classes I had the privilege to be apart of included Biology, General Chemistry, English Grammar and Composition, History of Civilization, and New Testament Survey. History was the most enjoyable, I think. Chemistry was fun, but I hesitate to name it a favorite, because, after all, it IS Chemistry. I appreciate all my teachers, tho, who earn their living by pounding their astounding knowledge into the brains of students who hardly give back anything except complaints. I was blessed with two wonderful and sweet roommates, and also four suitemates who were very agreeable with our tp distribution. The top bunk was mine, so not much change in atmospheric pressure... Except maybe for the fact that it was the 7th floor! Oh! Yes! The 7th floor!!! I love those stairs! Sorry, some people may take the elevator, but there's nothing like stairs to get you ready to sit down and study more. The food provided isn't anything extremely amazing to announce. Varsity cooks their cookies less than Four Winds does. So if you like crunch, dry cookies, scan in your ID card at Four Winds. And weekends fly by way too fast! (Just a heads up.) I have yet to try out the water park, but the swim center is approved by me. A bonus? the airport is only 10 minutes away!!!
