So here was today in a nutshell:
Woke up late so went straight to work at 9. Left just after 1 to take my Business App test which I did really well on! 967/1000 and a pass was 660. Then I went back to work for 30 minutes, prayed, napped, studied, organized clothes, raced to get ready and then went to Speech Banquet.
All six speeches were SUPER good. Then we jammed out while we packed up. My date...

I was reminded today that it is 9 months until I (and my whole class) reapply for the four-year program at college. My time here has gone by sooo fast! While life at college is crazy but it has really added perspective and makes you appreciate the little things in life. It is certainly the happiest I have ever been in my life. It’s amazing how that if you are organized (which I could...

Sunday, March 13: Robbers Cave Edition
So on Wednesday morning we left for Robbers Cave. I wasn’t feeling the best so I slept on the way, but once we got there we quickly set up our beds and then went for a hike to Robbers Cave!! It was lots of fun. We took a short cut under a fence and across a dam type thing to the river.
The guys helped us across and then we went up to Robbers Cave. Some of the guys ventured into a bat cave...
panayiota asked: Hope you have fun at robbers cave!! :D

Less than two days before Robbers Cave!!! I finished two midterms, worked out and did my Business App. I have one day of school but I’m done!!!!
Then to celebrate a bunch of us went to IHOP! Soooo fun! Then I came back to the dorm and chilled for a bit, now I’m ready to hit the sack.

Saturday, March 5 (Part Deux - Best Night Ever!)
Best night ever! Talking to dad for the first time in over 2 months!! It was so nice just to hear his voice. Then I had an epiphany!! I can use the link I posted on that mother as the inspiration for my Principles of Living Paper. I am sooooo excited! Life is good.

So I am not long back from enjoying some delicious silent inflammation (we learnt about it in PE class Friday). Sarah and I and our dates went to this restaurant, Thai Delight. It was super delicious. For dessert we had this Thai cheesecake that was fried and had ice cream - sooo good! Here is a review:
