Therapeutic Saturday

On my fall break, I saw Wicked in Memphis with Ariel. We absolutely loved it! Broadway musicals are magical, and my dream job is to be a Broadway dancer.


After my break, I finally got to see Michael! He came to Jackson for his fall break, and we had a great weekend.


After Michael left, I faced a week with three tests. Needless to say, I was pretty miserable. I gave up Facebook for the week, and that was an interesting experience. For the most part, I was so consumed with studying that I didn't really realize I wasn't on Facebook. However, I noticed that I excessively checked the weather and other websites that are regularly updated. It made me realize how much we crave constant updates/news. With that said, I spent Friday cleaning the bathroom, making a trip to Wal Mart, and Salsa dancing with friends! My Saturday has been spent sleeping, doing laundry, catching up on Facebook, and updating the blog.

One night I was studying organic and in the midst of all of the synthesis and mechanisms I was practicing, I jotted down this verse: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27.

Spontaneous Post

The following statements are opposites (me being pessimistic):
1) I'm a junior in college and I know exactly what I'm doing. Duh, I'm an upperclassman.
2) I know what I want to do with my life; I'll have no trouble reaching these goals.
3) Molecular cell biology is my favorite class ever.
4) I love it when I find a fruit fly in my rice in the Caf.
5) I'm so glad I have three tests in one week coming up.
6) It's so uplifting that everyone at Millsaps insists on coming across as being perfect.


The following epic events are going to occur within the next week (me being optimistic):
1) Fall break, baby.
2) Wicked Broadway in Memphis with Ariel Allen, followed by a fun night in Jonesboro.
3) Day in Little Rock with my family. I get to watch my high school's band perform.
4) See my doggie.
5) Sleep in my own bed and eat home cooked food.
6) Have plenty of time to study without having to go to class to accumulate even more homework.
7) Don't have to drive back to Jackson on Sunday afternoon like usual. That's so depressing.
8) No organic lab on Wednesday.
9) OEC with the cult for dinner.
10) Michael Price arrives in Jackson (best for last, naturally).
