This past weekend was interesting, very interesting. It made me realize how much I really hate PA. Like really. Sorry if you live there but honestly, I never could. We went on a ski trip this weekend. Traveled through rinky dink little towns and narrow roads to get to the resort. Some resort. There were a total of about 2 hills that were actually open and the place was just not good. We made the best of it though.
On Friday we spent a total of 3 hours driving around in search of the Flight 93 memorial. We never found it. We did however drive through some type of PA projects. That was probably the most entertaining thing we did the entire weekend. Gotta love the ghetto.
Today, well today was today. Today hurt. I hit a jump on my lovely snowboard, landed it, caught an edge, and the next thing I know I am lying wounded on the ice. Wonderful wonderful. I freaked out a bit cause there was blood, and eventually I made my way down the hill and to first aid. They recommended that I go to the ER, but my step dad told me its not necessary. I really hope he is right cause I haven't gone. Of course, if it was him that had gotten hurt we would have been there right away. But thats just life. I just hope my face bone is not broken. There is a picture on my facebook and I must say that it is pretty swell. Battle wounds!
Tonight was fabulous. I got to see Benjamin and we watch the Patriots win their 16th straight game! Not that I really care, but it is pretty cool I guess. Go them! Tomorrow will also be a good day, despite looks I may get from people because of my face. O well. Ben's dad made some comment about us going out now, because it is going to look like he beats me. Wonderful! Anyways, tomorrow I am going shopping with my sister and then Ben and I are going to hang out and watch Lord of the Rings. Becca will appricate that. I am being open to it, maybe I won't fall asleep this time. And then Monday!! New Years Eve!! Party at my house! I love it. Fondue party actually, so it is all the better. Yum! Anyways, this girl is tired. Sleeping with half a face should be interesting. Goodnight!

The Holiday's
It is Sunday, a day of rest. I don't know how I manage to do it, but every Sunday I always seem to turn into a day of work. Today was filled with freezing. I worked a stand at the Bills' game to raise money for my high school track team. I don't mind doing it. I figure that people worked it many times for me when I wasn't old enough, and now that I am I owe them. It was fun though, and I suppose I can see it as serving people rather than really working. Even if it was serving them beer and hot dogs. The Bills also lost. Not really a big deal though since they already screwed up any chance they had at going to the playoffs last week.
So I am kind of wishing that this break was over already. Not that I don't like being home...I do. I just feel so lazy here and don't do anything! Ah! I haven't really been able to go running because it is rather icy out here. I miss the gym, and I miss being able to eat a salad with almost anything imaginable on it. O well I best just enjoy it because I know as soon as school starts up again I'll be wishing that I was home.
Actually home is good. I was just sitting here on the couch and baby brother just informed us that he peed in his diaper this evening while sitting on Santa's lap. Lovely. Haha..That poor poor Santa probably felt an unusual warmth filling his leg where John sat. Now he is running around totally naked singing "Jingle Bells." O how I love him!
Benjamin Scott is also doing well. We are exchanging Christmas presents tonight. And I am rather excited. It's nothing much, but I still love giving! It has been so great to see him though! And the fact that I still have 4 weeks with him is so grand! Anyways I believe I am putting John to bed tonight. So it is story time here.

The Home Life
What can I say? I am absolutely thrilled that I am home right now. Home means time with friends, time with family, no school, snow, Christmas, and of course...Benjamin! O how I love him! Really and truly. I can't even begin to describe it. Everytime I am with him I just can't stop smiling and by the time I leave I can't feel my face. It's amazing! Enough of the sweet stuff though. I just can't help it today, because today it is 10 months. Just a little flashback...10 months ago when I agreed to start dating him I was so unsure about the whole thing. But now, I can not even imagine myself without him. He makes me a better person and he makes my world a brighter place. One of the many reasons why I love him.
Today was a beautiful day! Snowboarding galore! The slopes were gorgeous and the weather was beautiful. Holiday Valley is just a beautiful place. There is one section where you are just completely surrounded by trees, lights, and snow. The way the snow hangs off the trees is just absolutely stunning. I just stand there and think, praise the Lord! It is just good and peaceful. Today was just great because for some reason I had no fear. I was flying down the slopes and jumping like crazy! Any jump I could hit...It was mine! Ah...Thats the life!
What else can I say for now? At the moment, I could not think of anything else that would make me a happier person. Well, except maybe a 4.0. Hah! When grades do come out, that may be a bit disappointing. O well though...I worked hard this semester and I know what needs to be done in order to imporve. If I get a 3.0 I will be one happy happy person! For now I must be going though. I am going to pop in a movie and then continue working on some top secret things!

College Life and Finals Week
So it is the night before my last but hardest final and ask me how hard I studied. 2 hours! That is it. Tomorrow is going to be horrible but so amazing at the same time. I am not prepared at all for Biology, but honestly at this point I don't even care. Tonight was probably one of the funnest nights that I have had here so far. It was a day filled with The Suite Life of Zach and Cody marathons, dance parties, chinese food, "dice games", and amazing ab workouts. All of this was done with some seriously amazing girls! This is what college is all about. We work so hard, but we certainly know how to take a break. Even if we shouldn't.
Becca and I did 200 sit ups tonight. It was hard but worth it. We are going to try and do this every night from now on. We'll see how long it lasts, usually things like this don't always last. Who knows though. Maybe this will be the one exception. O please let it be!
Home tomorrow! Home! Home! Home! 24 hours from now I will be in my own bed after just spending and amazing evening watching movies and being with Benjamin. O how I love him! He makes everything that I do here worth it. There wouldn't be much to go home for without him. However, I am also very excited to see my friends and to have an entire month to do nothing school related! An entire month! That seems almost impossible...And right now I can't even fathom it. I am even excited to go back to work. I want to serve coffee to all the regulars, and I can't wait to catch up with all the ladies. It is going to be so nice!
Well, I suppose I should study at least a little more before I go to bed. Yikes...I am really scared! Good news though...Katelyn and I are wearing our doctor gear for the test tomorrow. Scrubs, lab coat, and stethoscope! Lovely! O man...Just a side note here, I hate having a roommate who studies ALL the time. She makes me feel so bad and then she just always stresses about it. What a way to live...No thanks. I'll take my B's and have a little fun please. Okay just need to vent about that a little. Goodnight world!

A Brief Synapsis
I think it's just finals week that has everyone so down. Not necessarily the weather. Although, yesterdays weather could account for some downtrodden people. Today however, it is sunny and rather nice outside. I just found out that starting Friday, the next 4 days of my life will be spent in 24 hour quiet hour. That means you have to be quiet in the hall, basically you must act like it's night time all the time. So sad.
Finals are approaching rather quickly and I can think of about 1,000 things that I would rather be doing other than studying. I think I am going to die. Or fail. Either or. I have found so far that college, at least not this one, is all that it is cracked up to be. "It will be the best years of your life!" they say. Well so far mine have been fun, there is no denying that, but I find it hard to imagine that when I come to the end of my life I will look back at this place and think..."Wow, Grove City College. I wish I could do it all over again!" To me, being surrounded by hundreds of people all as dedicated and focused as yourself is rather intimidating. All other hobbies or anything fun that you once participated in seem like a thing of the long past. The days are now spent studying, eating, sleeping, and working out. And of course, on occasion watching a movie or a little Grey's. I think Grey's just keeps me sane, and lets me see that after this life will get harder, but at least it will be a little more interesting.
Right now, I don't care about The Middle Ages. I don't care about Russel Kirk and the founding of America. I don't care about the great philosophers such as Hume, Burk, and Montesquieu who ultimately laid down this countries framwork. Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates...They were in the past. To some people, this may all seem interesing. Knowing random facts and trying to study these things that you will never actually know everything about is not really my thing. Give me a Chemistry or Biology book...And maybe I'll be a little more intrigued. Give me a book on the human body and I am hooked. Thats just me, it always has been and always will be.
Sorry this post is such a downer. I just needed to get it all out I suppose. But for now I guess it's time I go do something productive. Like play racquetball. Then I will venture out in search of a place to pour over pages and pages of notes and textbooks for the next 4 days. What about sleep, you ask? Who needs it. If I just keep looking at the light at the end of the tunnel I think I can make it through. 5 more days and I am free!

The Beginning
I have been inspired. Thanks to one womderful roommate, I now have a blog. I used to just write on my myspace, but that soon died out. I think my myspace actually still says I am on vacation from last summer.
Finals are also coming soon! I am not really looking forward to them, however I will be honest in saying that this week is going to be rather relaxing, comparitively. I have no jazz band, no marching band, no meetings, just pure time. Time to study, time to be with friends before we all depart for a month, and time to relax (a little). I am saying all this now, but I bet when it comes to actual finals time I might be regretting it.
Exactly one week from now I will be home! Back to the comforts and way of life that I have grown to love even more now that I have been deprived of it. I am ecstatic! I get to see Benjamin, and my adorable little brother, and all of my other siblings. I will hopefully get to see 6 feet of snow, watch my brother kick butt in wrestling, and go to bowling matches that I miss o so much. The best part of all this...No work for an entire month. I still have not been able to comprehend that one. It seems impossible that I will have no reading to do, no lab reports to wrtie, and absolutely nothing to study for.
Life is great! Praise the Lord!
7 Days!
