Oh hai thar!

Fancy seeing you here, have you noticed how beautiful it is outside? Well, erm, at the moment it's kind of raining and not entirely pleasant but the tree's are gorgeous! The trees of Transy were a major selling point for me, I mean I enjoy walking around and feeling like I'm in a park, and a lot of our campus seems to be just that. There's families that bring their children/dogs to walk around campus and in fair weather students linger outside, less recently in the past couple of weeks but we all enjoy the beautiful views of campus throughout the different seasons.

I unfortunately have not gotten a lot of opportunities to enjoy trees this fall expect for when I'm hurrying across campus for class or on my way to work on Sundays (I work in a nursery at a local church.) I've done a lot of fun things that I haven't gotten a chance to blog about so I'll do the rundown. :)

Fall Break!

Fall Break was a couple of last Monday and Tuesday, so I got to go home for the first time since RA training and it was glorious. I got to spend four days with my family, four nights in my (full size) bed, four days with my pets, and two extra days without classes. Now don't let that lead you to believe that I was without work for those four blissful days, I had a program to finish for my Theory of Programming Languages class and a test to study for and a book to read for my Gender and Communication class. It wasn't easy to make myself work during break, but I did and was thankful for it because as soon as class started Wednesday the professors were on their A game and I haven't stopped running.

I snapped this picture in Indiana on my way home, yay trees!

A Halloween Dance!
My sorority throws a "informal" (dance) for our pledges, where they get to decide the theme and then a group of active members sets them up with on a "Blind Date" from a list of names the pledges give the active members, the "date" usually ends up being a group outing with the active members, their dates, and the blind date. This year, opposed to taking my non-dancing boyfriend I opted for my ex-roommate and best friend, Erica and we dressed up as Cat Woman and Poison Ivy. It was a lot of fun, but I had been on RA duty the night before and I was exhausted and she had been up since 6:30 for a speech and debate tournament in Berea so we didn't stay very long but we had a lot of fun.

Midterms
Midterms as in test have been happening and quickly approaching (if I wear a costume to class for my midterm on Friday I get 10 extra credit points!) The report we get is reminiscent of elementary school, with the only possible outcome is either a "S" for Satisfactory of a "U" for Unsatisfactory. It's all S's for me! :)

I hope you all enjoying the trees more than I am!
