I just want everyone to know, in case you all were worrying about me or anything, that I am alive and somewhat well. I mean emotionally I am fine but physically... well, let's just say my knee is killing me and I don't know what's going on. Life is pretty stressful, but I'm still not dead. I have a paper due Thursday and a skeletal test that day and on Friday I have a wonderful French test.... I think. You see my last French class I kinda missed because I never heard my alarm go off.. Or actually I did and turned it off and I can't remember doing that... Yeah, I got up and it was off.. Weird...:)

Ok, I need to go study. I miss you all like flippin crazy much and hope all is well. Please write me a quick e-mail or call... If you need my cell write and ask..:)

Later friends! (Oh, here are some pics from our Dance called Kilter. It was at the Tennessee Aquarium. The theme.... Aquarium.. duh!:))

Yep! That's my boyfriend... Spongebob!

That would be the "C" Monster!

Oh look, the Magic Schoolbus! (ok, I admit it, I watched it as a kid... )

That's me (Sandy the Squirrel) and spongebob..:)

Hi People. Hope all is well. I had off today from school because it is the Day of Prayer. I also got initiated this morning at 5:45am.:) I woke up to the upper classmen banging pots and pans with silverware. Yes, good times, good times. They made us breakfast too which was very good and then went to a sunrise prayer time at Rock City. The sunrise was beautiful so I will post a picture of that...Oh, and they also gave us some good donuts and hot chocolate when we went... Just because it was FREEZING COLD!!!...ahem... Then when I came back to school I had to go to work, and then my hall (part of our initiation) was going to take us somewhere off the mountain. Yes Sonne boys, it's not down the hill, it's down the MOUNTAIN...:)

We ended up going to a park and had lots of fun. There was a merry-go-round which a lot of girls went on....

I am now sitting here at my computer not sure which textbook to pick up. I have had a wonderful day out and about and I hope you have had one too!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! MY LIFE IS SO CRAZY!!!!!!! Somebody Help Me!!!

Golly... Life is so crazy at times.... I need to write my paper for Christian Mind, then after I do that I need to start the second paper that is due in that class...EEssHH!  Oh, and an Anatomy test Wed...:(

Have fun at BFA y'all! Because they'll KILL YOU HERE!!!!

(:)haha, jk)

Yes World, It is finally September 1st.... And I haven't started the month well so far.... I mean dorm life is fine, and school.... well, it's getting A LOT harder, but I really am missing BFA. Just knowing that y'all have already started school in Germany and I'm not there... Well, it is really hard. Even though I am on top of a mountain it is nothing like Germany...

All of this to say that all of you at BFA, please, please enjoy your time there... Because you are very privileged to go to such a nice school.

Love you all...

  and whose hand is that???? OMG! FI!!!!

I have officially gotten through my first day of real college work/life. It was actually a good day... Not too bad. I started off my getting up at 7am to get ready for my three hour lab for Anatomy and when I got there it was cancelled(so I got up for nothing....) then I had class at 11am for my Christian Mind(a core class), then one at 4pm for Old Testament. It is really nice having spaced out classes and not going from one to the other, but I do miss BFA life....:)

I need to go to bed because at 7am I am getting up for my French class. yes, I am taking French...:)

Goodnight y'all!

I know it has been a LONG time since I have updated, but it also has been a long week.. College life hs started and let me tell you it is crazy! I am really missing home, my bed(in germany), my brothers, my mommy, my room, and not having to do my own laundry.:)

I hope all is well with everyone else. I just got my final schedule for today and I am now in Anatomy and Physiology which looks like a gigantic dictionary...:) Pray for me!:)

Love to all!
