another week down

So I now have offically less than a month until Spain! I am getting really excited, but also extremely nervous. I have had more time to process and digest the fact that one of my best friends is no longer going. I have a meeting this coming Wednesday that will hopefully answer any remaining questions.

One of my friends gave me a starter for Amish friendship bread. I had never heard of it before, and it seemed pretty strange at first, but its actually really cool. Its a recipe for bread that takes 10 days to make, and it ends up multiplying so you can give it to other people to make. Supposedly ( I can never say that word after watching that friends episode where Joey keeps pronouncing it wrong http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNmfxNwR_xY&feature=related) it was started by the Amish, but I don't know if I believe that.

This is the last week before dead week then finals, trying to stay serious and not get caught up on the fact that its summer, and so nice outside!

racing till the end

This week has flown by. Registering has continued to be a stress. However, I was able to register for one advanced art history class, history of photography which I think will be really interesting. I still need to get into the renaissance class, and it's still full. I am just going to keep checking it and hopefully people will get dropped when the first payment is due (that's what everyone keeps telling me at least.)

Bekah is probably not going to Spain anymore due to some very unexpected financial issues. She and I were going to be roommates in Spain, and she is really the only person that I know well from the trip, because I haven't taken time to get to know anyone else. Guess its funny how things work out. I know that God is going to teach me a lot through this experience but I am pretty scared that I am not going to have her as my security anymore.

These next few weeks are going to be hard. The last push before finals, move all of my stuff out of my apartment, pack, and jump on a plane.

well polished weekend

I came home this weekend to relax a little, and also because my parents wanted me to clean out my old room so they can put our house up for sale. I was a little surprised that they decided to sell the house seeing how bad the real estate market is, but sometimes I just have to trust that they know what they are doing...even if I can't see it.

Today my little sister and I went to get our nails done. It was very relaxing and a real stress reliever. This is a really funny video about getting your nails done - girls you can relate, guys I am not so sure you'll find it quite as hilarious:

It wasn't that bad at all, however the lady that was doing my pedicure kept complimenting my big toes...I never knew I had such pretty big toes.

I guess tomorrow I will be cleaning out my room before I head back to Denton, but for now my sister and I are going to dance around her room to "bleeding love." I love that song so much, but I love my sister even more.

Registering for classes has proved to be a nightmare - I will hopefully expand on that topic when I have some better news to report. As of now...all of the advanced art histories I need are full, ugh.
