O hey December, fancy meeting you here at the end of November! I really cannot believe that December is here. It's gotten unrighteously cold here in Birmingham and I'm loving it! If only it would snow. As of today there is only a week and a half until the end of the semester and a gloriously long Christmas break.
So since we last chatted Thanksgiving happened. I got to go home for the first time this semester and it was so good! I got to ride everyday, see two of my best friends, and all of my family. I didn't realize how much I missed home until I got there. Still though it was good to come back to campus and get back into the routine that I have formed up here. You know the typical college student routine: class, nap, class, eat, sit around wasting time, study some, waste more time, eat, study a little more, vow to go to bed early, find something so fun you could not possibly live without doing it (ie. spending an hour laying on the floor of your friends room laughing while trying to guess what words mean in a language you have never taken), realize it's already midnight, waste more time, collapse exhausted into a very brief night sleep,wake up, and repeat. So yeah, that's how I spend my life. And it's awesome
As I said it's almost time to head home for Christmas and I am so excited for the ten and a half hour drive by myself. I've already started preparing a roadtrip playlist for my trek. It's going to be so good to just get home.
Also I've recently taken up painting and I left all my supplies at home (because I couldn't bring them with me on the flight back to school) and I am just itching to get back to them. I have so many ideas floating around and I want to get them out of my head so that I have room for more. I've just been feeling really, really crafty lately and I love it. I'm pretty positive that my whole break will revolve around making things and sleeping. It's going to be sooooo gooooooddd!!
Now that I've just rambled for a while I'm going to call it a day.

Gather Round You Guys! It's About To Get Thankful Up In Here!
It seems that the only time I ever have time to get my but over here and lay down some fat beats is when I'm either about to go on or am on break. And by 'have time' I really mean that I have about a million things to do before class tomorrow and before break. Oh the life of a college student.
Can I just start out by saying that I absolutely love where I am in life! I have made so many wonderful friends, I love my classes, I love Birmingham, and believe it or not I love my classes and will be very sad to see them go at the end of the semester. It's really difficult to believe that my first semester as a college kid is almost over. It's bizarre really. I wouldn't trade the experiences that I've had for anything. I mean, mind you, classes have been tough, there have been mental and emotional breakdowns as well as a constant lingering pain in my knee that is only helped, I'm sure, by the billions of stairs on campus, but life is so good. Even on one of my worse days I am so incredibly blessed it's ridiculous!!
One thing that God has really been teaching me this semester is to not just be content with where I am but to be joyful in every situation, no matter the circumstances. Moving away to college has really taught me to rely on Him more fully than I ever have. I mean essentially I am on my own. Yes it's true that my family is just a phone call away, but I never really realized how much I relied on them from day to day until they weren't within an arms reach. It's been tough to say the least, but it has been so incredibly worth it! And now I'm just speaking in cliche's, so that's good.
I finally get to go home for the first time this semester tomorrow and I am so stoked!! Emma called me the other day to tell me that she had bought a new lego set and was waiting till I get home to put it together because that's what we always have done, put lego's together, together. When she said that I literally almost started crying. It's little things like that that make me realize how much I miss home and how wonderful my family is. Also just thinking about all the food that we'll be making for our Thanksgiving feast is making me realize how many foods I have not had since moving up here. Lately I have really been craving avocado, greek food, and pizza (not all at the same time cause that would be gross). I mean the food in the Caf isn't bad, but it's not the same as home. But I guess that would be the same anywhere you go.
Another thing I've missed is animals. Yeah, sure we have squirrels and chipmunks on campus, but they are all a little psycho and I don't think that they would like it if I tried to hug them. I miss being able to just walk outside and there's Tucker, or go down to the barn and be able to just hop on and go for a ride. Believe it or not I even miss mucking out stalls. Am I crazy, probably but honestly I just needz some animalz time!! I already have trail rides planned for every single morning over Thanksgiving break. I am so excited! I've been jonesin for a good hard ride for so long!
That's really all that has been going on with me recently. Life is good, and I really have no room to complain about anything.
