Fall Classes Have Began

My junior year is off to a great start, but I'm only done with three days.  I have class from nine to two with an hour break on Mondays and Wednesdays with a two to five lab on Wednesdays, too.  I have NO classes on Tuesdays!  Thursdays I'm in labs from noon to five.  Then I finish off the school week by having only three classes on Fridays, which go from eleven to two.  It really isn't that bad.  I will also be working about eight hours during the school with with an additional 6 or so hours every other weekend.  I'll also be going to fitness classes at the gym three days a week for an hour each time.  I'm really quite happy with my schedule!

I'm taking four classes this semester, which adds up to be 14 credits.  The classes are Anthropology 101, AgTM 315/Hort 346, Organic Chemistry 348, and Biology 106.  The last three classes I have listed also have labs that are two to three hours long. 

Out of my classes this semester, I am most excited about anthropology.  So far it's been quite interesting and has presented me with concepts, terms, and ideas I had never considered to be anthropology.  I'm going to learn so much from this class!

So three days of year three of college are complete!  Here's to more!

Start of Apartment Life

This fall a friend and I will be living in an apartment together.  Living in an apartment is new for both of us.  I did two years in the dorms and she did one.  We are both very ready for living off campus and for living together.  We are going to have so much fun!  Our apartment is quite wonderful, too.  We each have our own large bedroom with a walk-in closet and bathroom.  There is also a laundry room in the apartment, a good-sized living room and dining room, and a kitchen.  It's really perfect if you ask me!  Take a look at our set up below!

 This is our living room.  The only reason stuff matches is because my roommate's mom rocks!  She got the couch, chair and ottoman, coffee table, and a vaccum for $175!  Amazing!  (Also, if my Uncle Chuck is reading this, that is your lamp.  I will give it back, but I doubt you will want it since it's been in Pullman and touched by a WSU Cougar.)

 This set of table and chairs was also part of the $175 purchase!  (There is a fourth chair.  It just didn't make the first move in trip with my roommate.)  Right behind the dining area is the kitchen with a dishwasher and newer fridge.

 This is my $75 bed I got off Craigslist.  I chose to go with lime green, grey, and black in my room because I have lime green from living in the dorm, and I really like grey and black.

I call this my beauty corner because my mirror and jewelry are all here.  I got the table with the stool at a cute consignment shop in Waterville for $50.

 This is my $25 Goodwill desk.  This desk is an inch shorter than when I bought it because my dad had to saw the bottoms off the legs so that is would fit through my bedroom door.

My walk-in closet...not too exciting.  Just big!

Fianlly, my WSU bathroom.  I'm sure there are many WSU themed bathrooms in Pullman, but oh well.  I have school spirit, too!  Go Cougs!

Boating at Cresent Bar

So this summer my family went boating at Cresent Bar for a day.  It was my third time down there this summer because I've gone two other times with my boyfriend's family.  It my family's first time down on the Columbia River, though.  In the past, we have boated at Mardon/Pot Holes, Banks Lake and Lake Roosevelt.

We just spent the day cruising the river, looking at the scenery, and tubing.  It was really quite fun and we had great weather!
