New Year, New Schedule

Well, it is now 9 days into the new year. I just got back to school, have gotten unpacked, and now I am just relaxing and listening to music.

I think this semester is going to be easy in some ways, challenging in other ways, and most definitely busy. Since I will be so busy, I figure I will enjoy my down time when I can.

So far, 2011 has been interesting. I may have lost one of my best friends, but only time will tell. On the other hand, one of my good friends from Behrend is now at State, so that is super exciting. We have plans for dinner tonight, so that will be fun. It was sad leaving my family behind, but I am happy to see all my friends here. I suppose for every down there was also an up. Let's see how the rest of the year will go!

Break was pretty good. I enjoyed seeing friends and family, and Christmas was pretty good. I did get sick Christmas Eve and Christmas day, so that was not fun, but I still ate all the good food. I got some cool presents, including a model Ferrari that I have been working on, steel-toed boots, a Penn State Longaberger basket =), kitchen supplies, some awesome cookbooks, and awesome clothes and jewelery. New Years was spent at a friend's house, and we watched Despicable Me. The movie was absolutely adorable! We rang in the new year with a bang. Kinda. The poppers kinda failed. But it was fun nonetheless.

I was able to go back up to Buffalo for a few days to see my Grammie and Aunt, which was fun. It has been so much time since I have just visited without a special occasion. We usually go around Grammie and my birthday, Christmas, and/or Easter. I love hanging out with them, though the hockey games were disappointing to say the least. =(

I think I already miss the food at home. Now I have to survive off dorm food. =( But my bed is comfier here. =) But the bathrooms aren't the best. =( But I see my friends all the time. =) But I don't see my family. =( But I do like my classes. =) I guess it all works out.

Well, I am off now, but I will catch back up soon.

=)
