Only 3.5 more weeks!

I'm back at school!

I had a wonderful visit back at home and got to catch up with a lot of my family and friends :)....it was nice, though I definitely missed my friends here at school...

I got back to school very late on Monday the 10th....6 of us split the cost of a shuttle to take us back to school...it was nice to get to chat with the other people and it was funny to see so many GCC people in the Pittsburgh airport...lol

Thankfully the week that I got back was relatively light as far as classes go, especially since the two weeks leading into break were horrendous! I have a chem exam this Friday, hopefully it goes well, I've been studying for it and it I have seemed to understand this section of chem better than the ones in the past.

Our IM basketball game is still undefeated and we have the championship game sometime in the next week. FUN!!!

On Friday night I am doing Relay for Life with the Chemistry Club....even though I don't really like chem! haha My goal was to raise $100, but so far I have surpassed that! :) And I still have one more day to collect donations! People are sooooo generous, it amazes me. I am walking in memory of my friend Olivia and my Grandmother, both of whom passed away this year. On a happier note, I celebrated my "7th Birthday" yesterday!!! My 7th anniversary of being cancer free! :)

Have a wonderful night and please continue to remember the people of VA Tech in your prayers, Els

HOME!

Home Sweet Home! :) I arrived home late on Friday night after a very interesting day of travel...I ran into lots of extremely interesting people in the airports, a couple from Switzerland who were going to Boston, an elderly woman who was just getting back from the Keys with a very heavy suitcase, another elderly woman who was coming from Naples and was wicked tanned...and her hair was bleach blonde, and a frail old woman who had a very funky leopard print fleece hat who was from MA and has a camp here in Maine on Shin Pond. I flew into Boston and took the bus up to Bangor, quite an adventure...lol :)

I've been from one end of the state to the other... :) I went south with my Papa to buy him a new car...a Toyota Prius, pretty sweet car, very funny! He almost ran over the car salesman because he didn't know the car was on! Yesterday I went to Caribou (north) for a "Resident of the Month" party for my Great Great Uncle Keith...who I had never met before in my life... :) He's 82 and lives in the Veterans Home up there, he's a pretty funny guy, they had cake and ice cream for him. I also met my Great Great Aunt Louise, Great Aunt Bertie, and my Cousin (3rd-4th) Linda (who is older than my mom)...fun.

No skiing, their wasn't enough snow....though it snowed very hard yesterday and last night. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pretty!

I got to hang out with Robyn and Tyler on Sunday night, wicked fun!!! I missed them so much! Our waiter had the "dropsies" and dropped everything...the menus (twice), receipts, the big display with the list of the desserts of the day....I thought I was going to die laughing . :) Ugh, wish I could just take them with me to school.....

Well I'm off to visit my Gram, have a lovely day! :)
