Well, I had a fantastic weekend with one of my best friends, Hannah. We had so much fun, I showed her around my school and she loved it, we went to the movies, went shopping, had so much fun all around.
But she had to leave, and I found out I had mounds of nursing homework that I didn't know about till the day before.
Class came really early, and I have nursing alll day long. It was hard, and intimidating, and awesome. I love having classes that are actually on something I care about.
We are already learning how to give people physicals. It'll be awesome.
Today's classes were more simple, just psychology, pretty boring. I think positive psych will be good though, cause it's doing lots of little stuff, thinking positively, doing assignments that people should be doing anyway. It'll be good to do it.
RAing is going good, all in all life is good. On another note, I got accepted into the iGo trip extreme. I'm super psyched! Now just to start saving the money...

Crazy week of RAing
Ohh, training.
We had RA training every day, seemingly every minute, from Friday to Tuesday. Some days we were going from starting at 7 AM to 1 AM.
But, it was really fun. I got to build really close relationships with the Remschel RAs, but I also became good friends with a lot of the other RAs too.
Some times we just sat through training, sometimes we had to actually do stuff ourselves, like put out fires, or train to get people out of buildings, or go through role play... sometimes we got rewarded by getting to go to Main Event in Austin and playing for free for 6 hours.
However when it all ended, I was bummed. It was really fun to get to chill with these people and learn what to do for our jobs.
Today, however, was move in day for the freshmen. The doors were supposed to open at 7:30 AM, however, the line was so long at 7:10 we started early. It was non-stop till about 1:30. We've sat on duty all day checking people in, and it's 8 and I could fall asleep right now.
I really do love my job though. This is the kind of thing I love to do.
My roomie moved in today. Our room looks really amazing.
This is the view when you walk in, with my bed and desk.
Here's my bed.
Here's Kalli's bed.
Here's Kalli's side.
And here's our bathroom!
I know, be jealous :)

Bonding
Today started out good... got bad... but got better.
I don't really want to get into the bad, but let's just say the Remschel girls were treated unfairly.
The good news is, it caused some major bonding for us. We started hanging out pretty much non stop starting yesterday evening, staying up to watch Harry Potter, then waking up first thing in the morning to spend all day together.
I'm really blessed. I really love these girls company. I really feel like God gave me the perfect group to work with. I know I can call any of them at any time to hang out or talk, or just walk down to their doors and hang out like we already do. We're already starting movie nights every night. It's just so much fun. We are all hard workers too, so all our work is getting done super fast!! Just pray that I can make it through training, I think after then I'll be great.

Your love is a song.
There's a song, that every single time I hear it... I truly feel closer to God. This song completely expresses my relationship with Him.
It is one of my all time favorite songs, not just because it's beautiful or cause it's from one of my favorite bands.
When I hear this song, it's like my consciousness fades away and all I can think about is my Jesus.
The song is Your Love is a Song by Switchfoot, and even if you've heard it, I really encourage you just to take a moment and let it sweep you into His arms for a second. He loves us so much. Just take a moment to rest in His beauty.
I hear you breathing in, another day begins. The stars are falling out. My dreams are fading in, fading now.
I've been keeping my eyes wide open.
I've been keeping my eyes wide open.
Oh Your love is a symphony, All around me, running through me.
Oh Your love is a melody, underneath me, running to me.
Oh, Your love is a song.
The dawn is fire bright against the city lights. The clouds are glowing now, the moon is blacking out, blacking out.
So I've been keeping my mind wide open.
I've been keeping my mind wide open.
Oh Your love is a symphony, All around me, running through me.
Oh Your love is a melody, underneath me, running to me.
Oh, Your love is a song.
Oh Your love is a song.
Your love is a song.
Your love is a song.
Your love is strong.
With my eyes wide open,
I've got my eyes wide open,
I've been keeping my hopes unbroken.
Oh Your love is a symphony, All around me, running through me.
Oh Your love is a melody, underneath me, running to me.
Oh, Your love is a song.
Your love is my remedy.

Lake with my family.
Oh life is going so well :)
I recently had the best day ever, getting to catch up with friends I have missed.
The best day ever went something like this...
Wake up,
Take microbiology final,
Drive to Tokyo Grill to eat with Caleb,
Go to my friend's to pick up Katie,
Spend the whole rest of the day with her, waiting for my family to come into town at 3:30 A.M.,
Played with them and went to bed,
Woke up to have a ton more fun with my family!!
Since then I've been having tons of fun with my family. My little niece and nephew are, without question, the most beautiful kids I've ever seen. I love them.
We went out on our boat the other day, here's some pictures of our day.

Ho Hum.
Well, summer is slowly ending. I've been busy all the time, and yet this has been such a fantastic summer.
But now I'm coming to the very end... less than 2 weeks before I'm moving into my dorm room. I can't believe it's August! This summer went by so quickly.
But I've just got so much to look forward to, all the way to the very end of summer. I have microbiology tests every day this week until my final on Thursday, which is also the day my FAVORITE people come down... my family. I have actually gotten everything I needed down this summer finished and so much more...
well, except getting a tan. That was a major fail.
But now I'm meeting up with my friends this week, getting as many in as I can before Thursday so I can spend time with Leslie.
This summer, God has opened my eyes to so many wonderful things. He has taught me sooo much and taught me how to rejoice in the little victories, the little seemingly insignificant moments. I feel truly joyful. Which, trust me, is not always easy in 5 hours of microbiology.
I know things are going to be different this year than they were last year. Last year at school, I always felt something holding me back, not showing people everything that I was. It really took a really good friend that I was with this summer to get me to open up with friends and really be myself again. This year, I've already got plans with tons of people, from UMHB, from Baylor, from A&M... and I've got a roommate who I absolutely adore, which will just make this so much fun. Only a couple of weeks and it'll all be starting again, but totally different from before.
