I Made It Through!!

I finally made it through! Right around my last post, school was still in high stress mode. Midterm time is full of tests, big presentations, projects, and big papers to turn in. As of this morning, I finished the last of those mid-term type assignments. YAY! As busy as it has been with school work, it has also been a fantastic couple of weeks. We've had home football games the past two weekends with this past weekend being homecoming. Also, two weeks ago I got to go ice skating and horseback riding all in one weekend and I was able to take a short trip home for one night to work a college fair that was going on in my hometown.

That sort of brings us up to speed through HOMECOMING!! Each year during Homecoming, campus explodes with students and alumni. I mean, it gets crazy busy around here! Friday night there is the first home basketball game and then Saturday is the homecoming football game as well as a number of class reunions. This year, I actually missed the basketball game. Two of my sisters, Megan and Jade [see photo], and my mom came up to visit me because it was Megans birthday. They told Megan they were coming up because Olivet played the school that Megan attends in the Homecoming football game on Saturday. However... I surprised her with tickets to WICKED on Friday night. Soooo...Megan, Jade, my mom, and I all took the train downtown to see the show. Let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint! I knew that it would be a good show, but I guess I didn't realize how good it was going to be. The vocals were FANTASTIC! We didn't get back until late, so on Saturday we woke up in just in time to get ourselves ready and get lunch before going to watch the football team. We were playing St. Ambrose University and, after a valiant effort, lost 16-10. After the game, my family had to leave :( so I went over to watch our soccer team play with some friends [See other picutre]! {(YAY GO ROD!!) <--If you read one of my previous posts, then you know that I am Rods #1 fan!} The soccer team pulled out a 4-1 win over St. Xavier! After all of that, I was exhausted so my roommate and I had a bonding/movie night so we could just relax in our apartment!

Coming up this weekend is Halloween/ Olivets candy and costume party and I am going to be Sarah Palin :) Stay Tuned...
