hi.
so.
school is nice. yeeeaaahh. i'm loving genetics, hating chemistry (but i think maybe i am understanding for once) and intro to christ is nice too. so far in class we have watched clips from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the Simpsons, Southpark, and listened to Christian death metal. he's an awesome professor. calc is going ok, it's math. enough said. i get it but it's not really fun.
all my time is spent studying or playing disc. i don't think i have studied so much in my entire life. except for finals week last year. oh gosh. don't think about finals yet. if i'm studying this much and it's only the middle of the year, i can't imagine what finals week will be like.
disc is going well, no more tournaments till Oct 29-30. we have practice 5 days a week which i love, well, i loved it more when it was warm outside. it's a bit brisk now. but hey it's ultimate.
my parents came to visit Sep 30-Oct 2, and we had a lot of fun. they brought Sally to surprise me, which was so exciting because i missed her so much and i hardly ever get to see animals here. i thought they should have brought Gilbert too, but they didn't think he would have had as much fun as Sally did. Our home tournament was that saturday, so we hung out outside in the gorgeous weather, and my parents saw me play for the first time. they were excited to watch. i love my family.
i went for an hour and 15 minute run yesterday over the cross country trails in the woods behind the ski slope. it was awesome. i had a lot of pent-up energy that i needed to get out, so it was perfect. i almost got mauled by a bear though. and by almost i mean not really. but i could have if not for my remarkable tracking skills.
i am eating strawberry banana yogurt with granola on it. mmmmm.
yeah, so, this past weekend was a tough one. my 31 year old cousin Carrie died last saturday, and this weekend was her funeral. she had had breast cancer for 3 years, but had only really been sick for about 2 weeks before she died. it was really hard, but i'm so glad she was saved. she can dance with my grammy now. :) I flew out to St. Louis on Friday and met my mom, then went to the funeral and hung out with family on Saturday and flew back Sunday. it was a quick trip, but so good to see my family there. we went to the cemetary where my great grandparents and great great grandparents are buried, which was pretty good. actually, my family has 4 generations buried there. it was a tiny cemetary that was totally in the middle of nowhere surrounded by cornfields. i wanted to go visit my grammy's grave too, but Jefferson Barracks closes at dusk since it's a military cemetary, and we didn't make it back in time. oh well.
you know what's the best? when people get mad at you for actually studying (which is what you're at school for) and not talking to them every day for endless hours because you don't want to fail chemistry. i love it, don't you?
i changed the voicemail on my phone. it's kind of funny and random cause i didn't really know what i was going to say. oh well.
tomorrow i am going to visit my wonderful, gorgeous sister at school for 5 DAYS. i am so excited. it would have been nice to go home and see ashley and gilbert and my pony, but i am still very excited. mom and dad are flying out on friday to see the play that sarah is stage managing (which is a main reason i am going as well) and we'll just have a superfantastic time. i have a huge amount of work/studying to do while i'm there (3 papers and 2 tests the week after break..blah) but of course i get to sleep in. mwahahahaha.
ok i think i need to go do something productive because all this talk of work is making me stress. not really but it could if i let it.
i love ashley.
josh troyer makes me laugh.
jesse braswell is my number one encourager.
my sister is amazing.
my parents are the coolest parents ever.
i miss my pony.
PEACE.
p.s. i love Megan Roll. she's my roommate and i always want to give her a hug.
