Family Weekend!

Today my parents came up to visit me for the weekend. It was so nice getting to see them again. We walked around campus, went to dinner, and went to a comedy show in the chapel. It was also my mom's birthday today, so I bought her a cake and surprised her with it :). Tomorrow we're going to have lunch together, and then my parents are going to head back home. After that, there's a football game, and then I have the rest of the weekend to relax!

Repair Affair!

Today was Repair Affair! Repair Affair is a part of my freshman first year experience class, called "First Class." Every group has a day where we get to go out to a person's house and help build whatever they need. We worked with a company called Kentucky Heartland Outreach, which is kind of like Habitat for Humanity. All of us got on a bus around 8:30 A.M., and we headed toward this old woman's house in Greensburg, about 10 miles away. We worked on building her a deck and a new set of stairs, because hers were old and apparently she had trouble getting down them. Today, I also got to try several things I had never done before. I used a sledgehammer, hammer, AND a table saw. It was a day of firsts for me haha. By the end of the day, the woman had a new deck and set of stairs on her house! It was really fun to hang out with my first class group, and it was nice to be able to help someone out.

First College Test!

This week I had my first college test! I wasn't sure how hard it was going to be, but it ended up not being that bad. It was in Macroeconomics, so it was basically the same stuff I had learned last semester in high school. It was matching and essay, and for the matching the teacher gave us a word bank. I'm pretty sure I did well, and hopefully he'll grade the tests soon! 

Other than studying for tests, college has been so fun! My friends and I are always doing things around campus, and it's a blast. The only bad thing is that lots of people go home on the weekends here, so it gets really quiet and its easy to get bored. Last weekend, it was just me and Sarah in the house! My mom and grandma came to visit me and have lunch on Saturday, and it was great seeing them. This weekend, I'm actually going to go home with Lauren, because it will be the last time we go home before Fall Break on October 20th. I'm so excited! I miss Louisville. Campbellsville is nice, but there's really not a whole lot to do here. Plus, it'll be great seeing my family again. And my two little Scottish Terriers; I've missed them! I just have to get through today's classes and one tomorrow, and then I'm on my way home. :)

Getting into the College Routine

So far, college life is pretty great! There have been so many events this past week so I've been pretty busy. Also, I've started getting more assignments in my classes. Two English papers, one History paper, and Algebra homework. But I've already got most of it done, so I have a free weekend :) Today was also one of the first semi sunny days we've had all week, so I took my bike for a ride and went up to McDonald's. I really hope it stays this way for the whole weekend, or else I'll have nothing else to do!
