Update Time

I know it's been a long time since i've updated and there are a few things to tell about even if it has been a while since they happened.
Lil Sis Big Sis week was tons of fun, let me tell you I got tons of cool stuff including a nice monogramed flanel blanket that will be well used. My big sister is Chasity Mahaffey who is actually in my German class so that is really cool. She is a Christian and really nice person. And like I think I said earlier my roomate is my twin and our other triplet is a day student named Hiedi. I got to meet her at the revealing ceramony which was tons of fun. They made us stand with our other lil sisters around the fountain and then blindfolded us. We thought they were going to push us in, but they didn't thankfully because that water is nasty. they then called out our names and our big sister came and unblind folded us. We weren't aloud to talk until everybody had been revealed and then there was a karoke party afterwards and stuff. That was several weeks ago now. But just thought I'd let you know how it ended since I build you up with my last blog.

Since then lots of things have happened. Including some not so good ones. But to start with something exciting I was able to give blood two weeks ago. They had a blood drive here at school and I did fine. I almost fainted while they were taking it but they woke me up real fast when they made me smell this amonia stuff...wooooff...that stuff will take your breath away. I had tryed to give blood my senior year in highschool, but because I had been to Morrocco that summer they said that I had to wait a whole year before I could give. Well it's been a year. And it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I got orange juice, a cool shirt and the satisfaction of knowing I helped save someones life, out of it. Pretty good rewards I think.
Anyways, about the not so good stuff, is it just me or do all college proffessors collaborate about when they are going to start giving their first tests. Mine all seem to have come in the same week. The good news is that I did pretty good on all of them. I got an A on my art test, and A- on my Lit paper and an A on Psychology(the highest grade in the class actually :-) ) and The only one I'm not to happy about is the B I got on my German test. I really don't do good with languages and it takes a lot of work. As the weeks go on I am beginning to get the hang of all of my classes and learn how to do the work. I still never seem to have enough time for things.

Oh, another very important thing that happened recently. Campus Crusade here at Converse went on the regional Fall Getaway and Me and three other girls went. On of the girls was a friend from my hall who was not saved yet,(she knew somewhat about it but wasn't really sure, she had been to sunday school as a child and stuff) Well a few days before I was meeting Alyssa, the leader here for lunch and Alicia(my friend) happened to join us and Alyssa got to go through the four spiritual laws with her. She didn't accept Christ right then, but I was going to talk with her later about it. I got to talk to her while we were at the getaway doing quite times and I wasn't sure if she prayed or not because we kind of did seperate things after I talked with her for a bit. Well, here comes the exciting part, on Wed. night when we had a biblestudy in our room, I found out that she had prayed to receive Christ that day. And God is just so amazing for letting me be an influence in her life. I hope to continue to help her to grow!!! So if you could be praying for her that would be great.

As for exciting news I think that is about it. Fall break is coming up at the end of Oct. and I'm having oral surgery to have my top wisdom teeth taken out on the 30th, the first day of break. And my mom gets to come up the be with me for the whole weekend. I can't wait because I haven't seen any of my family since I got here. (except my grandparents of course because they live in town, I have spent many a weekend at their house) I am also excited because it means that the headaches and sore teeth should go away.
thanksgiving break is like three or four weeks after that, and I get to go to atlanta to spend it with my other grandparents. and the two weeks after that is Christmas break. And the Pepperment Ball is right before Christmas Break, Anybody want to be my date?
Life right now is actually not that bad. I still can't believe that I am in college.
