New Semester

Gerontology and mental health …. for the next 7 weeks we will be surrounded by CRAZY, OLD people!! ayi yi yi! I’m sure we will have lots of stories for you! Did anyone celebrate fat Tuesday? We asked one of our four friends where we could buy a poonshki (sp?) He thought we wanted drugs! haha. We enjoyed our polish lemon filled low cal donut while watching P.S. I love you! It was a good night! OH and we also watched Kotarba play bball in Huntington!!!! LOVE her!

Okay friends, we will try and be better at updating this blog… but for now – good night!!!!

with much less detail

The first day of the semester again did not go well for us. Cursed?

The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray.

just a lil update

• Well, Randi and Rob love each other and then got married. Fabulous

• Semester is winding down. I am so thankful. A few more weeks, but it should be fairly easy. I have learned so much about myself and about Creation. TG.

• Thanksgiving next week! YAY for food! and parade. Indiana got cold today, but word on the street is that it won’t snow for a while still

• I’m open for suggestions for places to move next August. London? Columbia? DC? Anyone?
• Love

oh school

Why do we put our hope in man? Jeremiah 29:11: For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord; Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

As great as school is, it has taught me a lot of crazy things too (if you haven’t guessed, one of those things is how much hope I put in man). I read, and read again and read the above verse in class today because of how much truth there is in it and how silly I am to believe anything else. Also, I, in school, put my hope in things like “oh there is only 6 more weeks” or “oh, this will be a great semester because it’s kids and that is what I want to do in the future” but really it’s going to be a great 7 weeks because the Lord has a hope, promise, future, plans for me. He has plans to prosper me and not to make this semester harmful. Physically, but mentally and spiritually he has plans to build me up, with a hope and a future.

Assigned Seats. take3.

The title of this post sounds familiar, right? Good! It should. It is the title we use to describe the morning of our first day of school! And, since our classes restart every 6 1/2 weeks, we will be having many more like it. – - I knew I would have a story about this day simply because it was the first day of school. And I will add that NEVER do Elisabeth and I have any sort of complications in the morning before school. Unless, of course, it’s the first day of school. So you know how important it is for us to leave early on the first day of school to get a seat, yada yada. Right. Well on this morning, (the start of our 3rd semester) we planned on leaving at 9:30 for our 10 am class. (I’m telling you friends, this whole permanent unassigned/assigned seating is no joke!!!)  We planned every minute of our morning and even had extra time to take a first day of school picture (posted below), have breakfast and stop by a friends dorm room to drop something off. SO, as we are headed to class … I heard an “UH OH….” muttered from Tiny Elisabeth.  What could she possibly be uh-oh’ing? I thought we were doing great on time – and quite frankly I was getting excited to get to class to pick out my seat! So I didn’t know what could be the cause of her uh oh. Little did I know, the next sentence out of her mouth would get our adrenaline going in high gear and send our blood pressure through the roof…..

“Uh Oh….says tiny one…I FORGOT TO BRUSH MY TEETH!”

Without thinking I said “WHAT! YOU DID WHAT!! On the FIRST day of school??!” Of all the days … but that’s ok! We’ve been hit before and have bounced right back…. LUCKILY us Gallatin girls know how to move under pressure and understand the meaning of HURRY!!! AFter discussing the possibilities of going to class, blaming her stinky breath on the coffee and running home in between classes to brush her teeth- – we decided to make a 2 minute stop at home so that:

1) Elisabeth could brush her teeth and

2) I could find the slip of paper that told us what room # our class was in (Minor detail)

LUCKILY, like I said – when it comes to time… we sure do know the meaning of hurry! You’ll be happy to know that Elisabeth went to class today with fresh, mint smelling breath – and we were on time to class so that we found 2 seats next to eachother ahhh.. I can already tell this semester is gonna be a good one!

Mrs. Sanborn

This weekend we went back to Michigan for fall break – anddd to celebrate Meghan and Josh’s LOVE for eachother!! They got married on Saturday and it was a fun night for all! Meg looked GORGEOUS!! She looked like a little princess!! As you can tell from the picture!! These girls are great. And so was that night

Rewind

I’m sorry for the delay – but friends … we need to back it up!!! There ya go.. two steps back.. all the way back to the start of Elisabeth’s birthday week, and the day (Oct. 2) we celebrated her 23 years of WONDERFUL accomplishments BEAUTIFUL thoughts and FANTASTIC friendship!!! This is definitely blog worthy and it’s a shame that it’s October 11th and I am just now writing about the week my tiny little friend turned 23!! If I can figure out how to upload videos I would love to post the one of the morning that I woke Elisabeth up to the song, “MMM HOT DAYYUM this is my JAMM” haha. That video has been the center of entertainment for the two of us ever since – stay posted, I’m sure I will figure it out. (or maybe Omo could help me?) Afterall, he has been very friendly with us lately. I think leaf blowing our sidewalk puts him in the neighborly spirit – And yes, our sidewalk looks excellent right now might I add. Anyways, back to the birthday girl and her extraveganza of celebrating her birthday. The week of random surprises, decorating, “I wanna do what YOU wanna do” and “you’re not allowed to do any work since it’s your birthday” carried on throughout the week. We had clinicals on her birthday. Along with this AWESOME pudding cake that our friend Sam made, cinnamon rolls and cookies and chocolate and cake and – - did I mention that I love birthday weeks? haha. We spent the weekend of her birthday in Indianapolis with some friends from school. and we LOOOVVVEEE Indi! We went downtown and ate at this restaurant called the Canal Bistro. It’s conveniently located right next to a canal so the idea of the name is very original I’m glad they didn’t decide to call it the Stop Light Bistro or the Sidewalk Bistro – those names although they are near the restaurant they don’t have the same “ah” factor. But Canal on the otherhand, that’s a winner. It was a cute little restaurant that overlooked the …. can you guess it? Comeon… the Canal!! Good job. So after dinner we came back to Marion and went to…. come on… I know you know it – - Starbucks!!! Great Job. haha And welcome, once more, to our lives

Saggy boobs

Allison told her saggy boob joke today in class (don’t forget we go to conservative school of the year) and it got a VERY good response. BTW, we were telling jokes because we were learning TB shots and the powerpoint was taking a very very long time to load. She prefaced it with “my face might turn very red when I tell it.” My favorite part of it was Eddy’s very loud laughing for like 4.5 minutes after. Here it is for everyone that doesn’t know it:

What did one saggy boob say to the other?

You better perk up fast or else people will think we’re nuts.

Oh she kills me. And she killed our entire class. No one could stop laughing.

Eventually

We are going to post pictures of our classmates so that you know who we are talking about in this blog.

Last night we had clinical. It’s a silly use of our time, but I guess it gets us ready for the real world… it’s beneficial, I know, but sometimes I don’t really do anything. Like last night.

The point of this blog is to tell you about Eddy. He’s this large man, about 30 years old, and he’s been a firefighter up to this point (actually I think he is still working now). One day, he is doing this presentation, and for some silly reason he was really nervous, but in the middle of it, his phone goes off and his ring tone was “shawty get low low low low low low low low.” It was perfect. One day, look for Eddy’s photo.

I’m super excited to be in EL this Saturday. It will be great to see you all. I am so excited for this fall!!

What year am I?

I DON’T KNOW.

Please change this oh so common college question.
