In the morning, I will be starting my fourth semester at WSU. WOW, how time flies! I'm so excited for all the new coming my way. I'll be taking three classes that each have a lab, which means I'll be taking 12 credits while working. It'll be tough, but I'm ready. I'm going to learn lots and lots of new information that I will be able to take with me and apply to whatever I decide to be when I grow up. I'm also super excited to continue working. I'm looking forward to working with and meeting more great people. It'll be fun!
BUT, the thing I'm most excited about is making more friends. I have a great best friend here at school, but she and I are always looking for other friends to hang out with us. After the dinner we had tonight, we are positive we have a new friend. Actually, she is a kind girl that is a friend of my sister's from back home but she goes to school here at WSU. After my sister bugging me to text her and now that I've really met her, I'd say I have a another friend! We are going to have a good time spending more time together.
So tomorrow I'll get up and workout quick. Then I'll start the craziness off with horticulture 202 at nine. Between horticulture and organic chemistry at one, I'll work a couple hours. That will be my schedule on Mondays and Wednesdays except I'll also have a lab Wednesday evenings. I'll start my Tuesdays early because I'm working the opening shift at work. Once I'm done with work, I'll hustle over to lab. Then I'll have an hour break before Statistics 212. Thursday will be similar to Tuesday because I have a lab and STATS class again. Friday will be great because I'll only have two classes, and after two in the afternoon my weekend will start. This will be my life for the next 16 weeks and in my free time I'll hang out with friends or make a quick trip home. So with new classes, a fun job, and more friends, I have a lot to be excited about and to look forward to! Let spring semester 2011 begin!

Love and or Dislike?
I love breaks from school but I also dislike them.
It all is because of my mother whom I love very much and am thankful for. The last two years she has sent me an early Christmas present at school. Both these gifts have been wonderful cookbooks because she knows I enjoy cooking and baking very much. I've gotten these cookbooks the weekend before finals week. She does this so that in my "free" time I have something new to read. Like there is "free" time during finals?! Not!! Haha! Well, I make time anyhow, and come up with a huge list of things to make while home on break.
Making these things is where the love and dislike truly begins. I love making these new recipes and I love eating all the yummy things. I dislike the weight that comes with eating everything I make and having to lose it again. It's the same story every break. I come home and I cook, cook, eat, eat, gain, gain, and have to lose, lose. Every time.
While home this last time I made several things (some more than once) from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook, 15th edition. This cookbook is great and my favorite! I made Star Mint Meringues, Yummy No-Bake Bars, Cream Cheese Mints, Cinnamon Rolls, Powdered Sugar Icing, Noodle Casserole, Chicken Enchiladas, and Coffee Coolers. My mom also used some recipes from it. Everything was sooooooo good! The family favorites were the cinnamon rolls and no-bake bars.
Overall, I love breaks from school more than I dislike the extra that adds on over break!

A New Year, A New Blogger (Me!)
Well, after having dinner with a friends a couple nights ago, I decided I would start a blog. A little way to add something new to this new year ahead of me. I made this decision after one friend mentioned she had started one. I have been thinking a blog would be fun, but wasn't sure what I would write about or that my life would be interesting to write about. Now I'm just going to go for it! My hope is to blog about once a week and keep my readers up-to-date on my life in 2011. But first, I want to recap on the great year of 2010!
Twenty ten was a busy year for me. It started off with a new year's resolution to work out more since I had failed to do that my first semester at college. I accomplished my goal by working out four to five days a week. It was tough to fit working out into my already fun and busy schedule that was mostly school related, but I did it! I also finished my first year of college at WSU! Some days at school just flew by and others seemed like they would never end. However, when I moved back home last May, I felt like I had just moved to Pullman the day before. When I sit back and think about it, time at college goes by really quickly! Almost too quickly! As I finished up spring semester, I applied for and got a job at the Student Recreation Center on campus as a service attendant. I am so proud of myself for making it through the application process, which included two interviews! I thought it would be this simple process, but it was the real deal! I'm glad, though, because now I know I'll be ready the next time I apply for a job. I really enjoy my job at the SRC. I work about nine hours a week, and it is a nice way to escape from school for a few hours. Not to mention the few extra bucks are nice for shopping trips, paying for groceries, and making my car payment. That's right, I got my very own car this year too! It's a dark grey Subaru Legacy, and I absolutely love it! Subby has been a great car for me because of it's gas milage, the amount of stuff I can cram into it, and it's AWD. It's great having a car, and getting a car was a fun way to start my summer. Summer, as usual, was not long enough, but it was a good one. I took an online class and did very well in it. I also spent a lot of time riding my horse, Daisy. I went to riding lessons once a week with my sister and her horse. My whole family went to Montanta in June to my cousin's wedding. It was nice, and we got to go to Yellowstone. Yellowstone was so neat and I can't wait to go back! My family also went boating a few times, and we had a blast. It was so fun to escape the hot days of summer by spending it on a lake. I was very busy over the summer between going places, farming, studying, riding horses, boating, and relaxing. Then summer ended in August when I went back to Pullman to start another year of school and my new job. Fall semester had it's ups and downs. My classes were so hard, but I am happy to say I made it through with nice passing grades! I have also made new friends through my job and through living at the dorm. I am very glad to have these new and wonderful people in my life. Fall semester was busy with school, work, and trips home. The best trips home, though, were for Thanksgiving and Christmas Breaks because I got to be away from school for at least a week and spend time with my family. In fact, last night I got to ring in the new year with my family. It's such a good feeling to be with family and say good-bye to the old year and hello to the new!
I am looking foward to the new year! I know there will be tough and fun times, and I am ready for it all. As a new followers to me, a new blogger, I hope you are ready to keep up with me in 2011! Happy new year!
