Well It's Been A While

Hello all,

I've been meaning to write for some time now, but it's been a very stressful and crazy time at school. I'm at home this weekend for fall break as I'm sure you guys know. It is SOOO nice to be home, I don't know why, but I have been really homesick this year. More so than I ever was last year. It could just be that this year has been quite a bit more stressful and difficult than last year.

As you all know, I'm in cell and molecular biology, which is a requirement for a bio minor, but unfortunately I do believe I am failing the class. It has been really stressing me out to the point where I'm thinking about dropping the class. We had a bio lab exam on Tues this past week and well I failed, but at the bottom of the exam was a little feedback question and I told my professor that I am really struggling to grasp the concepts and what not and that same day I recieved an email telling me that he has noticed I'm struggling and that he would like to meet with me. So I met with him and we've decided to meet one-on-one for the rest of the semester to try and help me get at least a 2.0 in the class. And well let's face it, we all know how hard it is for me to ask for help, so this is a big deal for me.

My other classes are going pretty well, I still love my basic acting class. I performed my monologue for a final grade on Mon. After break we start doing scenes from some plays we've read with partners. It should be interesting. My english class is going, I'm getting all my papers done and what not. And my RDA class for psych is just as boring as ever, but not hard. I did pretty well with stats in HS, so it's not too bad.

Mike and I are still together and going strong, they played tri-state this weekend and won 73-0. Mike scored a touchdown...I'm so proud :-) The first party for DG is coming up, but unfortunately Mike isn't going to be able to go with me because it's on a Fri night and they have a home game on that Sat, so he doesn't want to risk getting in trouble...SO I have decided on going alone. I think it will still be fun. I'm SOOOOOO excited for the baby!! I had so much fun at the baby shower and I can't wait for the next one. Mike can't go to that one either cause of practice, oh well.

I had a bit of a scare on Thurs night. One of my sorority sisters and housemates overdosed on some IBprofen and I had to take her to the hospital. It heard about it around 11:30 and I didn't get back from the hospital until about 3:30 am. Mike drove me and the girl who ODed, her boyfriend, and her best friend who is also my roommate. She was ok, she didn't take enough to do any serious damage, but it was scary enough. I talked her in to seeing someone at the school to talk to and the hospital called someone from psych to talk with her as well. And to add to the trauma of the night we hit a raccoon on the way back. IT WAS AWFUL, the little guy looked at me right before we went over it with the car, I cried. I've never hit anything, or been a passenger when something was hit before and it was HORRIBLE!!! Well anyway, I'm getting hungry and so is Caity so we're gonna go get IHOP.
