Rainy Days..


Well, once again it's been quite some time since I've written one of these. I haven't really had much time, but considering half of the AV is under water I have PLENTY of time.


I'll start off by saying how much I adore this weather, maybe not the immenent dangers that are sure to come from all the flooding. So besides all of that, the rain is amazing. I love looking out the window and seeing all the clouds, and the smell of the wet rain on the pavement. It's the most phenominal thing ever!


Now to update what's happened in life since the last blog. I've had one of the most amazing summers of my life, and I've completed my first semester of college.


This summer I was privledged enough to live with two of the most wonderful people I've ever met, Gramma Aunt Cay and Grandpa Uncle Jerry. I LOVE them soo much! They were so much fun to live with, and they will forever be a part of my life. I also got to work at the most amazing camp EVER, Redwood Christian Park. I worked childcare for the 3 different family camps that went there. Part of the camp experience was archery, and the best strawberry pie on fridays haha. I loved all three of the different camps, but family camp 2 was definitely my favorite. I got to work with the first and second graders, and they completely stole my heart. I cried when they left, and I still have the stuff they made for me. My most prized possesion would be the beach ball I had all of them sign. It will sit on my shelf forever! Everytime I see it it makes me think of them, and all the fun I had with them. They were SO amazing. Not that the kids I work with here aren't. I love the kids here too! hahahaha


Now to move onto my college experience. The best way to describe it is complete and utter culture shock. I didn't really expect the first day to be as shocking, but it's a day I will never forget. I ended up dropping one of my classes, which made me be 3 credits under what is considered a full course load. This stressed me out quite a bit because I need health care, and every class was full for the most part. Thankfully there was a late start health class that I was able to get, and it completely worked out. Unfortunately I didn't do to well in my online classes, found out I need to be in a classroom situation. I took History of Rock 'N' Roll, and I loved it! I learned a lot, and found out early blues is pretty amazing. I also found out just how much you can accomplish on almost no sleep. And that midterms aren't all that scarry haha.


This is pretty much my life in a nutshell. You're all caught up, and now I can try and keep this thing relatively updated.


Oh and I've also decided that I want to take up photography.. haha IDK why but, I think it's a good skill to have.


Thanks for reading :)
