And you can feel your careful heart breaking into the usual chords...

Woooo. Almost time to breathe. It seems like Fall Break is so close and yet SO far. I'm so glad that I'm not going home yet. I kind of want to, but not quite yet. And I'm just excited to go back east and see what it's all aboot! I'll be ready by Thanksgiving. I can't wait to meet the boys and to be Cade's godmother :)) And see Denise and Roque and whoever else is home.

Talked to Liz for an hour today. I'm so glad I go here. There's so much to do on campus and in the city and partying is minimal. Too much to do in fact! Maya, Alec and I went to Saturday Market this weekend and it is officially my new most favorite place ever. The food was AMAZING. As Alec said, "I would endure Communism EVERYDAY to eat this stuff." I signed up to be a Team Captain for Relay for Life and I wish it happened sooner than April! Also turned in my Study Abroad application today so I should be set for Salzburg soon. God, I can't wait. I'm sad I won't be on campus, but I know it's something I have to do for myself.

School is going well. I LOVE my politics class. Malecha is so engaging, if slightly insane, and just so passionate about his subject. We read All the Kings Men by Robert Penn Warren and I do believe it was a great book. Today's class was awesome because I already love that class and we got to analyze English lit. I could have written a BOMB AP English essay for that book, but alas I had to stay on topic. However, I feel like Mathews class COMPLETELY prepared me for college. I would be scared and cowering in a corner right now without it. I miss him a lot.

I love the set up of college. My procrastinating is getting better because a) the fact that everything holds so much weight really freaks me out and motivates me, b) there's minimal to no busy work, c) I love my classes and d) I don't know what the profs. expect so I try really hard. Paying off so far. We'll see how midterms go next week.

What won't be so easy is my work to be done over Fall Break. Kid is as dense as a brick, I tell you. It's really frustrating because I thought that I laid all the rules out before hand. I thought that once he had it, he couldn't live without it. But some people are just masochistic like that. And I can't understand that.

But I still am looking forward. To tomorrow, or Fall Break, or next semster. There's just so much out there to experience and I'm enjoying everyday as it comes :)
