all things fall

I love the color of the leaves this season.
Seriously, I'll be walking to class and it just takes my breath away.
Or I'll be driving to work and the trees that line the streets
just look perfect.
I wish they were always these colors.
But I guess then we'd get used to it.
I would hate to live in a place where the leaves don't change.
Another fun thing about fall?
Cute Halloween costumes!!!
Seriously, I can't stand how cute these are.
Ahhh it won't let me add pics right now!!
I'll have to add them later.
I found this amazing owl site!
I'm going home tomorrow for the weekend and I can't wait.
I have so much planned.
I hope my poor car hangs in there though,
I can feel it slowly coming to it's end.
And I never even named it.
Alright well my thoughts are all over the place.
It's time for sleep.

procrastinating leads to summer update

So in my attempts to put off homework
for just a bit longer and to waste the time until my laundry dries,
i thought i would finally update you on my summer.
which i promised to do months ago, sorry.
so, remember that list of plans i made for the summer?
well most of that stuff didn't happen. haha
but it was still good.
i worked at camp for two months.
it was hard and discouraging at points, but so much
fun and completely rewarding.
i was a cabin counselor for high school girls,
then middle school girls, then 5th and 6th grade girls.
and i taught nature to boy and girls.
and to myself, haha, because i didn't know too
many details or facts about it until this summer.
i made a fool of myself singing crazy songs and
reading bedtime stories (and writing them!)
i had plenty of campfires, cookouts, and hikes.
and i led a lot of devo's and bible studies and answered
some tough questions from girls about God.
on the weekends, i worked at darien lake at the concerts
they had there, serving food and drinks to vip guests.
it was fun, i made good tips some nights, and basically
got paid to go to concerts.
i rearranged my room and completely cleaned it out.
it looks nicer now, more grown up. :)
i got a futon and put a little desk in there.
me and therese applied to adopt a dog.
were still in the process of that and it's exciting
to think we could have a new cute dog sometime in the future.
i visited my new baby cousin, he's soooo cute.
i took the membership class at my church, so now when i
want to be a member i just have to apply and meet with the elders.
it's weird to be a part of two churches at once, so i think i'll wait until
after college to officially be a member if i end up living there.
not being a member isn't keeping me from anything and i don't
want to just become a member if i'm not able to invest or serve
within the church at all.
hmm, i think that's pretty much it.
i stayed up late, slept in a lot, read almost the whole twlight series,
turned 19, caught up with friends, had bonfires, spent
time with the family, and cooked a lot. i miss not
having a kitchen while i'm at school. i got to try a lot of new recipies
over the summer. and i spent lots of time with my bff and seester.
it was a pretty good summer. :)
now your all caught up!
always love,
h

college is hard work.

college is a lot of work.
i've had at least one test a week pretty much every week
of this semester.
but i must say, i've been getting some decent grades on them. :)
i've learned that the library is my friend and
that those textbooks that i pay so much for?
it helps if you actually read them.
it took a year at school to figure this out, but hey, at least i got there.
i had fall break this past weekend and went to west virginia
with eastern's outdoor club.
it was amazing.
beautiful mountians, leaves changing colors, white water
rafting on class 5+ rapids, hiking, climbing, campfires,
laughing, inappropriate jokes, fun games, bridge day, football,
and meeting 11 new friends.
oh, and also driving 14+ hours in 4 days and 28 degree nights.
but it was good. definitely a fun break from textbooks and tests.
this weekend i have a class trip to a camp (for my camping class)
and next weekend i'm heading home to see my fam and friends.
thennn only 3 weeks till thanksgiving and after that one
week of classes and finals!!!
this semester flew by.
sometime this week i'm planning on officially declaring my major.
economic development with a sociology minor.
and if i take a couple classes at mcc this summer then
i think i'm gonna graduate next year, so exciting!!
hopefully once i get an advisor in my dept i can figure this out
for sure, but it should work.
i'll at least graduate a semester early.
then who knows where life will lead me...
have a fantastic fall, it's my favorite season. :)
always love,
h
