Hmmm.. Darn Photos!
So lately I have been trying to add some photos of my hall program and other things to my blog and it hasn't been working out so well... Oh well, I will tell about things now instead of showing them in photos and adding stories. Somewhere along the line my profile photo disappeared too. I am going to have to work on getting a new one up... Oh well....
The hall program meal went great! We had some hamburgers, bratwursts (to any Germans out there, no they were not like those in Germany), kabobs, strawberries, grapes, cookies and bananas for banana boats. It all tasted great and everyone who stopped by seemed to really enjoy it. It was good to just relax a bit and chat with different people from the floor and not from the floor that I hadn't talked to in a while.
There was also my older brother's graduation a week ago on Saturday. I was able to make out to his Concordia for that and I really enjoyed the weekend all together. Though I was sleep deprived and asleep on my feet the entire weekend, it was completely worth it. Daniel graduated on my Dad's 30th graduation anniversary as did on of his friend's on his Mom's 30th from the same school. That was really neat. I also got to see my cousin before she went to Taiwan to visit her sister who is a missionary there (check out Anna's blog under my links, she's the missionary) and several friends that had not vacated the campus yet after finals. My brother graduated with a degree in Computer Science and Math, so if anyone needs someone in that field, I hear he's good.
Right after my brother's graduation I had finals week. That was kind of a bummer of a week, ok more stressful than anything. I came back completely tired and I felt like I was getting sick with something, not good. The whole week I was kind of sick with something and I couldn't really shake it because there was no way I was going to be able to get a lot of sleep to catch up on it. I had 5 finals and 2 papers to do during finals week, along with some homework that I needed to finish up. Then, as an RA, I had to check all of my residents out of their rooms. If I was well rested and completely healthy coming into the week, this would not have been a big deal. However this was not the case and every day I reminded myself that I only had a few more days. Now that it is over and I have time to myself and I get to see my family here at home, I realize that I am going to miss a lot of people this summer and next school year. It was a good year overall, but I am glad it is over now.
Now I think I mentioned this before, but I will again just in case. Part of the whole reason for starting this blog is that I can share more easily what is going on during this summer and next school year. I have no idea what my internet access is going to be this summer, but at any rate, I am going to try my best to update my blog while I am in Germany. I leave for Germany the beginning of next week, there I will visit my host family and friends. Hopefully I will also be able to visit my (most likely) future university for a semester.
When I was in high school I went to Germany for a year as a foreign exchange student, I haven't really been back since and that was three years ago. Throughout the years I have made friendships all across the country and now I am going to take the time and money to go visit all my friends over there, or at least as many as I can manage in less than two months.
Then in the fall I will be studying abroad in Spain for the semester. I have never been to Spain and I am really excited to go. Ok, right now not really, but after I get back from Germany I am going to be really excited, I can't think that far ahead yet. The following spring semester I will be studying in Germany for a semester. Right now I am working on getting paper work in order so that this is all possible. This is why I made this blog to begin with. Then after my year I hope to continue to use it so that people, where ever they are, can see what is going on in my life. Feel free to email me at any time and if you want more contact information for me (though this summer really doesn't have any), please message me and if I want to give it to you I will.
Today was fun. It is my little brother's, AJ's, birthday. So this morning I went to the store and got noise makers and donuts and then Daniel and I brought them to school to interrupt class. It was a good time and AJ was surprised I think. Well, I have to get going and get some more doctor's appointments and such done (for whatever reason it is good to go to the doctor to get visas and such....).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AJ!!
