Hello world! I hope life is swimming happily along for you. I made it through the first week of school! Whooo Hooo! If you did too, congratulations! One week down and only 15 more to go! The semester race is on lets start and finish strong. I met a lot of "freshies" this week and I am so thankful that I am passed that point of my life. it's a small victory I know but it is still an accomplishment. Some days are just crazy. sometimes there is just too much information to process or too many things happening to take it all in. RELAX. take a deep breath and find joy in the small things. Life is made up of moments. I was reminded of this over this past week. I have been trying to juggle 2 jobs and 5 classes and honestly the pressure was getting to me (yes I know it was only the first week). I was working one afternoon in the bookstore and one of the other employees was on break in the back eating a kiddy sized Ice cream cone. Now let me paint you a picture of this guy. He is kinda tall and quiet, really serious looking with this half beard half stubble thing going on. Basically a pretty big guy. I have spoken with him maybe twice. Any way he is tiny eating this Ice cream cone and as frozen things are prone to do it is melting every where. I am going about my merry way when I pass him 20 min later finally done with his Icy goodness. He is walking along about to pass me when he looks down at his hand. I am expecting it to have Ice cream or be sticky or something...right? Nope. He gives me this dead pan look and says "I think I need a band-aid". he then calmly shows me the gaping hole in the palm of his hand. It was so unexpected I just nodded in response. Then I burst out laughing. The whole thing was ridiculous. From him bringing an Ice cream cone into the break room to him taking 20 min to eat it, all the while his hand (holding the cone) was bleeding everywhere. You may not think it was very funny but that encounter made my day.



Soooooo a few more weekly highlights! First, I found a new thrift store in Denton. It's not new, just new to me. It is called Giant Thrift and is right next to Walmart. Waaaaaay better than Goodwill if you are looking for clothes. Second, I went to connect week with the BSM. It was actually fun! I met a lot of new people and enjoyed getting to know them. I am planning on meeting a few of them later into this week to hang out.

I have 3 blogs or discussion forms that I have to post to multiple times through out the week for class. but I am going to do my best to keep up with this one as well, please bare with me.
