Hey all! I know it's been awhile since I last posted, so you can thank Donna Lynn for keeping you up to date.
My weekend was pretty awesome because my parents came on Saturday for Parents Day and that was a lot of fun. We got to watch a Campbell football game, (We lost 7-34, but hey, they haven't played in 58 years!), we ate dinner at Shouse Dining Hall and we watched parts of some movies on television in the lobby. (My dad fell asleep...) I decided last minute to go home for the rest of the weekend for a few reasons: I wanted to go to Sam's Club and get my long awaited iPod, I wanted to go to church and see some of my friends, and it's just plain boring here on the weekends when your friends aren't here. So my weekend was pretty awesome.
I have been doing well this week, but I haven't been going to sleep when I should. I didn't have anything I NEEDED to do last night and I didn't go to sleep until 1:30 anyways. It's okay though, I didn't get up until 9:30 this morning, so I got about 8 hours of sleep. :/
Yesterday I had to get up 2 hours earlier than I usually do on Wednesdays because I had to go to the Alumni Convocation at 10am. It was required for our business class, but it also means we don't have class at 10am on Friday!!! WOOT!! So at least I will be able to sleep in tomorrow.

Ellipsis and Chuck Norris...
Hello everyone...
It's Wednesday, yet again. Which is a good thing, in my opinion. My busy days this week have passed *giving myself a mental high-5*. I'm just really tired, because you see, it's almost 1:00 in the morning, and i should be asleep... 'specially when I have a 9:30 in the morning, but oh well.
For tonight's (this morning's...) post, I have decided that I will examine my love of the ellipse.
I love an ellipse. Why? I have no clue. I don't know if it's because it makes me seem smarter... no, that's not it. Maybe it's because it makes me feel like I have more to say, but I'm leaving it up to the audience to figure out what it is, like a mysterious kind of thing... see? I'm leaving it up to the reader(s) to decipher what I really mean. So it's like a James Bond thing, yet not half as cool. But hey, whatever, I'll take all the cool I can get... (see? more ellipses)
Anyway, I thought that was going to be more complex than it really was. I think though that my brain has given up on me, and that's all I came up with. Oh well, who am I to fight my brain? Wait, hang on... nevermind.
By the way: If Chuck Norris got in a fight with himself, he would win.
Disclaimer: I am in NO way comparing myself to Chuck Norris!
I've had enough...

Terrible Tuesdays...
Okay, so, today wasn't that bad, I just really like alliteration. Anyway, um, not much has happened here lately, and I'm really tired, but I felt like I should check in. Just so everyone knows, I am still alive and stuff...
I hope that Wednesday is better, and I can't wait for Friday!

A Weekend of Tremendous Proportions…
In case nobody has realized, I had an amazing weekend. On Friday I came home and saw some family and went to eat with my cousin for her birthday, then came back home and just hung around. On Saturday, I wanted to sleep in, but alas, I could not… anyway, I ran errands for my mom, and hung out at my grandma’s because she had a family get-together, then went to Greenville with Reid, and spent time with him, then spent time with my little cousins that spent the night with me ( too many “spents”??). On Sunday, I went to Tarboro and watched Trash being made, lol, it’s like chex mix and stuff, which is totally awesome. Afterwards, I came back home, and we took my dad out for his birthday tomorrow, which leads me to where I am now.
I am staying at home tonight (Sunday night), because I don’t have class until 10 tomorrow and I wanted to go out to eat with my family to give my dad his front row Sugarland tickets!!!! I am also totally excited to be going to the Sugarland concert on October 11, and I am even more proud to announce that I will be sitting on the front row. I’ll be sure to take a lot of pictures, rest assure…
But I digress. So I am going to bed early tonight, probably the only night this week, but whatever. It’s 11:00, and I’m actually kinda tired. I hope tomorrow is not going to be too hectic... all I can do is pray.
Have a great Monday, ‘cause if you don’t, it’s going to suck… a bit redundant, I think...

Me, Myself and I don't know.
Time flies, when Chuck Norris tells it to. Man, I wish I had that power, except it would be the exact opposite. I feel like I am going, going, going but I don't know where the time goes.
Today I went to lunch with my Big Sister from CRU at Quiznos. I had a really good time and got to know her pretty well. At some point we are going to get together and make crepes. (It's a long and random story). We hung out for about an hour or so and just talked. I am really excited. She is really nice and I think we clicked really well.
Today I also went to the Physical Plant to get my schedule and I started working. I learned about a few of the different sound and video systems and then burned some DVDs. From 6-8 I handled a live feed video class. I set up the cameras and then sat there to make sure it didn't freeze up or shut down and then turned everything off at the end. It was pretty simple. It sounds like a lot of the jobs I might be doing I will be able to do homework after I get everything set up and started. I think I will really enjoy this job, it's something I have always wanted to try out and I am getting paid to do it!
I am going to try and attend a Home Fellowship Group with Grace Community Church. I might also babysit for one depending on what my schedule looks like. I have so many things that I want to do. I want to go to 2 HFGs, attend an all-girls Bible Study and a coed Bible Study, hold a job and keep up with school. I would also like to have some sort of a social life. But you know what they say:
Welcome to college! Pick 2:
1. Social Life
2. Sleep
3. Good grades
I feel like I have so much to do, but I don't know what I'm doing. Hopefully I'll have it figured out by the end of the Semester! :)

College is a Rollar Coaster...
Definitions all around...
College (n): 1. a really aggravating place, 2. an emotional roller coaster, 3. something invented to throw off your internal clock, 4. a place to meet really cool people, 5. where you learn to play Frogger on Main St., Leslie Campbell Av., and Hwy 421.
(Okay, so maybe the last one only applies to Campbell, but whatever, our blog, our rules...)
First of all, I'm soooo sorry that I haven't blogged since like last week, but this week has been so crazy, I have barely had time to breathe. So, since last Thursday, I have taken a Biology exam, submitted an English paper, taken a Theatre exam, and taken a Chemistry exam. I have also counted trees in the woods across from school for Bio Lab, cleaned my room, done laundry, decorated a martini glass, gone to bible study, hung out, played cards with some strange folks, and gone to Chemistry lab and review. I would also like to mention that I have pretty much spent all of my free time studying. Me and Adam even got kicked out of the Library, not for talking too loud, not for horse-playing, but because they were getting ready to close, TWICE! There is no excuse for this!!!! I DON'T DO LIBRARY!
Anyway, I also forgot to mention that I didn't go home last weekend, and I think that everybody should be really proud of me for that. However, I am going home this weekend! (& I'm so excited!) Last weekend I went to Wilmington to visit Amanda, who goes to UNC-W. We had supper, went to the beach, and went downtown Saturday morning before I came back to Campbell. I had a good time...
I feel like I owe the readers a little more, now that we have readers. Well, I'd just like to say that I'm really glad that we are entertaining enough for people to read our blog... YEAH FOR US!
I would also like to mention that I am totally exhausted, and that I am looking forward to sleeping in on Saturday more than like anything else on the whole entire planet. I now officially understand why college kids like sleep so much, and I will mock them no more; I am one of them.
That's about all I can get out. My contacts are starting to stick. Contacts sticking= nighty-night time.
Have a great weekend!

Where has the time gone?
I feel like I just got here and already I am taking tests and writing papers. I started on Monday with an Introduction to Christianity test, continued today with a math test and tomorrow I will follow it up with an Introduction to Computers test. AAAAAUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!
This week is alcohol awareness week and this evening I went to a little program where we learned about how to take care of an intoxicated friend and know when to call 911. I missed most of it because I had a class until 9pm, but I got a little of it. Then I decorated a plastic martini glass and ate snacks. It was a lot of fun.
Tomorrow I am going to finish my work study contract and get my schedule set up. I am working for the audio and visual department. I am excited about it, except for the fact that I won't be able to go home on the weekend as often.
I need to go to bed.
