Back to school, back to school

Today is my first day back at Milligan. I feel like a freshman all over again because everyone knows where they are going... except for me.

My Spring Semester '08 has started with an hour of quality time sitting behind the desk at the Milligan library. Apparently no one had been covering my hours while I was gone (completely and totally not my fault) so there was no problem with me showing up to work. My first class is Humanities with Dr. Cook. I scrounged around found out with was on the syllabus for today... and well I probably should be reading that instead of writing a blog. Silly me. Not quite back in the habit yet.

Hanging out with my sister and her family this week has been absolutely amazing. It was great connecting again with her kids, Zoe, Charis, and Miah. To make the week absolutely perfect, Amos was able to be home as well, so Mandy, Tony, Amos, and I all got to hang out late at night after the young and old had been laid down to sleep. This week was awesome and well worth missing the first week of classes and all the makeup work I have waiting for me in the beautiful state of TN.

Today, our last day together, Mandy offered to take Amos and I out and take a few pictures. She's an amazing artist/photographer/writer/person/sister, and therefore we of course jumped at the chance to get awesome pictures and spend time with Mandy. Here's one of our favorites:

I leave tomorrow morning to head back to TN, back to school, back to work, back to being away from the people I love most. But I have been blessed this week with all the time I have been able to spend with them. Who knows when the opportunity will arise again when I can have all my loved ones together at the same time, so this week will be cherished until the next time.

On a lighter note, heading back to TN is not all bad either. I am surrounded by those I love there too, so no complaints here.

As a side note, thank God for the invention of the cell phone and free calling within your network. Amos and I racked up over 8000 minutes one month.

school's overrated

Registration starts the 14th.
Class starts the 16th.

Why is the picture of the skyline messed up on my blog. I've tried to fix it. It's driving me crazy!!

Weekly Challenge

Inspired by my sister (whom I get to see VERY SOON!!!!) I am going to take part (kinda) in a weekly challenge called The Best Me. Check it out here.
Week One is to make a list of 5 small things to do for yourself this week. Here's my list.
1.) figure out my plan to get to South Carolina.
2.) play the guitar!
3.) hit the Y every day
4.) paint my fingernails
5.) work everything out to see my sister!

So there it is... and I'm sticking to it. :)
