Start of Summer

Ummm sorry... I guess I forgot I had a blog for a month or so. But I'm back!! for now at least... 

Quick recap of this summer:

1. Finished up my 4th semester of college and moved out of the Village and back to Montgomery.

2. Slept for about a week.

3. Went to my first real Braves game!

4. Had my first Lake Martin weekend of the year.

5. Ate lunch around Montgomery with Phillip every day for a week. We also went to see Thor and Pirates of the Carribbean.

6. Will Graduated!!

7. Spent Memorial Day weekend at the lake.

8. Watched the first season of Glee!

9. That's all......

I have been spending way too much time at home, doing absolutely nothing. SOOO if any moms out there are reading this, I'd be more than happy to babysit for you! Just give me a call!

Hope everyone's having a wonderful summer!

The End Is Near

My room is officially bare. My mom and brothers drove up this afternoon to help me move out. I had everything ready to go, just needed a massive car to put it in. How I fit SO much junk into a tiny, tiny room, I will never know. I'm just glad the miserable part is over with. All I'm left with is my bedding and curtains, one suitcase of clothes and toiletries, and a lamp.

Waaaaaay back in August, I moved into Oak Hall in the Village. This place has been good to me. I'll be sad to see it go, but guess what.... I'll be back here next year! (just one building over).

[My little dorm room when I first moved in]

Two more exams to go, and summer will be aaaaallllll mine. Good news! I got a 97 on my Biology exam which gave me an A in the class! Sure wasn't expecting that! Dr. Lishak, my biology professor, is truly the best teacher I've ever had. He made each lecture so interesting and worth-while. I'm sad that I won't get to go listen to him every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00 to 9:50 anymore! Oh well, life goes on. Big thanks Lishak for making my day!!

[I feel ya kid!!]

Tha Weekendd

I'm gonna go ahead and get this post out of the way before I get too deep into my studies... No distractions tonight!

I went home Thursday afternoon, only planning on staying one night. That didn't happen. It's Sunday, and I just got back to Auburn. 

Will had his last soccer game on Thursday night and I was so glad that I got to go! They tied, but still played great. I feel so close to Will's friends in that senior class, and it's so sad to me that they're graduating!! I feel too old.

[Typical Will Soccer Face]

My cousin Lauren, her husband Joey, and their two boys, Lendon and Collin stayed with us this weekend. Their house was right in the path of one of the tornados this week and they won't have power for who knows how long. It was so fun having them there! That's probably the main reason why I stayed home so long. Joey played in Rites of Spring at MCC, so we hung out there all day Saturday..... and I got a liiiiitttttttttle too much sun.. Whatev. So glad y'all came!

Speaking of MCC.... I can't wait to go there tons this summer. I've never enjoyed a pool so much in my life. I didn't get in the water because it was negative 20 degrees, but just soaking up the sun was perfect. Also, they literally have the best lemonade I've ever had. Thursday night Bingo is already calling my name!

[Twitpic... Excuse my nasty scar]

Today was Senior Sunday at FBC. I kinda got carried away with taking pictures, but I definitely don't care. It was fun seeing who all was graduating that goes to my church, and see where everybody was going to college. Auburn was definitely a top choice, as usual! War Eagle.

[Will and some Friends] 

[The Seniors!]

Weeeeeeeell, it's time to go study. I'm about to head to a Calculus III review. This will be the first time I've looked at it. My exam is tomorrow at 12. Serious prayers needed.... Mainly for my ability to focus!

Tornados Stink

Tonight we had our last chapter for the year!! It was also senior chapter, so the senior pledge class did a bunch of special things, told funny stories, and passed down lots of awards. Wanna know which award I got??? I bet you can pretty much guess without me even saying....... "SOCIAL NETWORK QUEEN!" I feel like now I actually have a real reason to blog, tweet, and facebook (I guess it's a verb now?). Gotta live up to my title!! Thanks Maggie McKinney for passing it down!! Oh, and congrats Allison on your engagement!!! I'm so happy for you, and I know you couldn't be more excited!! Yay squirrels!

In other news, I'm pretty sure this is the worst weather day Alabama has ever experienced.... At least since I've been alive. Tuscaloosa, Cullman, Birmingham, Dadeville, and I'm sure many other towns have been devastated by tornados within the past few hours. I'm just praying for all the people who have lost loved ones (the last death count I heard was 40) and who have lost their houses, cars, pets, properties, favorite restaurants (for real, that's sad), and whatever else those dumb things destroyed. It's hard to fathom that this really happened.

(Stole these from twitter)

[Cullman]

I hope and pray that all my Tuscaloosa friends are okay! I know cell phone service hasn't been the best, and the power is definitely out.

Let me quote the Toomer's Oaks' twitter real quick: "Prayers with everyone in Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, and beyond. We're all in the same family tree tonight."

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

Fading....

I have one more test to take, and I literally, cannot, for the life of me, focus. (This excludes the 4 exams I have next week). Calculus III, I'm hating you right now.

I tried the library..... Didn't open my notebook until I was there for an hour and a half. Then I moved to a different spot... And worked one problem. Now I'm back in my room and it's 12:30. My backpack is still zipped. And of course, I resort to blogging: My go-to for procrastinating.

Where has my motivation gone?? Hmmmm... It's fading. Tomorrow might not be the best day for me!

Actually, let's be real. It'll be a great day no matter what. If I fail this test, it's okay because at least I'm done with class for the year! Why not be positive, right?? :)

I am declaring right now, to all of you followers, that I WILL study, and study a lot, and study everyday, for my exams. Don't let me forget. 

9 days of sophomore year left......... Wow.

Almost Easter :)

I'm about to head to my last Biology lab, then hit the road for Montgomery!

I am just so excited about Easter. I love everything about this wonderful holiday. The colors, the baby chicks and bunnies, the great meal on Sunday, and of course the fact that Jesus defied all odds and rose from the grave!!

I remember buying these precious things when I was younger from Pier 1. Anybody know if they still have them?? I was obsessed!

How cute is this little thing?

Here's one of my favorite Easter/everyday songs... I know you've all heard it. 

Ohhhhhhh the Memories!

As I was looking for one single picture from graduation to put in my last post, I came across about 10 albums from senior year at good ol' Trinity. I couldn't help but dedicate a whole post about how great senior year was. Here ya go.....

Besides the people I see all the time, I miss you all so so so much! I love each one of you and can't wait to see you again! And I guess you can go ahead and say it, this is such a typical Sally thing to do... Whatever. :) I loved my high school years, Trinity Presbyterian School, and all of the sweet friends I got to spend 7 hours a day with.

Guess I'll go map out my future now.... 

"'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 a hope and a future.'" Jeremiah 29:11
