Missing Home

So, today I realized how much I miss home. I miss seeing my siblings. It feels like it's been forever since I have seen them, even though its only been three almost four weeks. I am not used to going more than a couple weeks without seeing them. Abigail just turned 6 months old last friday. She is getting so big! Hannah is as cute as ever, and I miss seeing her smiling face. I miss my brothers, and my sister Linda too. I hope I get to go home soon. I can't wait till this term in over so I can have a break and go see my family.

I am just feeling a little homesick :(

Accepted :)

So, last week I received a letter from the College of Ed...and I got in!!! I'm so excited that I am finally about to embark on the last part of my journey through college. It is such a relief to realize this, and realize that by this time next year, I will have one more term and then I will be done with my bachelor's degree, and I will have a teaching license. CRAZY!!!!

So far this term is hell...lol. I don't really enjoy any of my classes, and I have gone to less than half of my 8am class that is twice a week. I feel like I am such a bad student when it comes to that class, but really I have no motivation to go. I don't feel as though I am really missing out on much by not going that often. I did go today, and I have to go on Thursday, so I am hoping I will make it to the rest of the classes for the term. Pray for me :) Other than that class, the rest are going fairly well. I have gotten pretty good test scores for my midterms, well at least the ones I have gotten back already. And I am fairly confident that I did good on my last two midterms, which I have yet to get back.

Life in general has been good. My roomie Allie just got home from being in Thailand for over two weeks. It's nice to have her home :) I missed having her around to talk to. Me and Emily had a good time just chillin at home while she was gone though. Work is going good. I have been getting more hours lately, which I enjoy. I like working, and I like feeling productive.

I miss my family. I wish I could go home more often, but being an adult doesn't give me those privileges. Last week I got to babysit my siblings with the help of Linda of course. It was pretty fun, until my baby sister ran out of milk...My mom ended up being gone longer than planned, and so I got to hold the baby all evening so she wouldn't cry. She was very fussy. But overall, it was a good day. I took my brothers to a birthday party at Splash! That was fun. Linda helped out alot by watching Hannah, and also playing with the boys. I hope I get to see them all again soon.

Well, it's about time for me to go to class again...but thank God it's my last class for the day, and I don't have to work :) yay!
