Ketchup =)

I'm going to use this post as a little "catch up" post... hence my clever title =)
Before break, I failed to mention we had our annual Christmas Banquet. This year (since my fiance is at home in northern VA) I went with a group of 8 girls and 1 lucky guy friend of ours. All of us girls got dolled up for a nice dinner in Chalfant, followed by a comedian for our entertainment. My most favorite part (other than seeing all of my friends dressed to impress) was the chocolate chip cheese cake =) It was REMARKABLE! (I'm in the black dress with gold/green ribbon)
I got back to school safe and sound Sunday afternoon after being stuck in Battle Creek, MI due to a snow storm... and was able to unpack and relax being thankful for getting back safely! Monday night the Associated Student Council office put on a birthday party for our President, Dr. Bowling... and what better place to have it at than the BOWLING alley! There was free bowling for all university students until mid-night. So my friends and I went and celebrated with bowling for 2 hours! It was a blast. ONU had the entire place to itself and it was PACKED!
Classes officially started back up this past Tuesday (Jan 13)... However, mother nature had a different idea. We went to classes Tuesday and Wednesday despite the frigid weather... and then... CLASSES CANCELED on both Thursday and Friday! It was amazing! We didn't have to go to classes, not because there was snow, but because there was a -30 wind chill both of those days! Talk about antarctica... I felt like I was right there at home with the Eskimos and polar bears. It was too cold to walk around outside anywhere for a good distance. So naturally, being closed in my apartment for a lovely 4 day weekend I soaked it all in with chick flicks, frozen pizzas, and hanging out with my girl friends. It was such a great weekend!
Today classes resumed and boy is it feeling like a LONG day. This morning I had Physics II and then I went to my first day of my Physical Therapy Internship. I'm really excited to see how everything pans out for this internship. I had a good first day, however, I didn't really know what to do or what to expect so I was a bit nervous. It was neat to see the therapist working with the patients doing exercises and performing different techniques that I have been learning all about. I go Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as well... 18 hours a week! I'm definitely going to be busy as a BEE this semester =) Till next time!

Christmas Break! =)

Sooooooo.... break has been AMAZING! Break came at the exact moment that I needed it most.... after staying up late and studying like crazy for finals, it finally feels nice to sit and relax and not have to think about classes at all. It's been 17 days so far and I don't have to go back to school until Saturday (for RA training stuff) classes really don't start until the 13th!
Break has pretty much consisted of relaxing and playing games with my family. I've hung out with a couple friends from back home, and visited my old youth pastors church and hung out with some people I used to go to youth group with... which was a total blast! My family is addicted to games... and were all really competitive (which makes things interesting)... so we've played endless games of Mexican Train Dominos and Settlers of Catan... both games usually take at least an hour and a half... it gets pretty intense. But it's great hanging out with family and relaxing!
The past 9 days my fiance came in from Virginia which was GREAT! I hadn't seen him since Thanksgiving so it was great to actually get to spend that amount of time with him. However, the day I drove with my dad to the airport to pick him up... I went to the doctor and she told me I had a sinus infection... GREAT! Just what I wanted... not... so to say the least I was sick the ENTIRE time my fiance was here at the house :( But nevertheless, we had a lot of fun hanging with family playing games and hanging out with some of my friends. On Saturday my entire dad's side of the family went to Frankenmuth for a chicken dinner at Zenders (amazing you MUST go at some point in your life!) And when I say my entire dad's side of the family I mean all 24 of us sat at a huge table with pounds of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, squash, noodles, slaw, bread rolls.... and topped everything off with a little orange sherbert! It was so much fun... then after dinner we walked to the old fashioned candy store and my grandma treated all of her 13 grandkids to candy! After that a few of my aunts and uncles and cousins came over to my house and we played the game Curses (which is HILARIOUS)... you pretty much just make yourself look like a fool... and laugh at everyone else! So that was a great night and a lot of fun getting to hang out with my family and my fiance.
I'm excited for next semester... I'm unsure at this point if my internship will line up... but I'm praying that it does because I am super excited for it! Hope you all had great Christmases and New Years!
