The Last Few Weeks

I just realized that January is almost over and well, I've barely posted anything, so I decided I would sit down and write something. Many things have occurred since my last post where I shared the fact that I looked like a baby orangutan (I still find that so amusing and that one picture of an orangutan is so cute :D). Now I'll briefly (or maybe not so briefly) catch y'all up about what I've been up to....


The first major thing that has happened between now and then was I got to spend 15 hours in an airport or an airplane on January 17th. Yep, Christmas break was over and my sister and I were trying to fly back to college in Maine. We got dropped off at the Moline airport earlier than need be because the fam wanted to get home before weather conditions got worse. That wouldn't have been so bad, but our plane was delayed leaving there, so we spent hours seating at Moline airport reading books. The reading books part made the experience all better because I LOVE READING!!!! However, the experience also back up our hypothesis that Moline is really a fake airport was confirmed. That's a running joke on my family because it never seems like Moline has any planes...Anyways, let's get back to the story. FINALLY, a plane showed up that flew us to Chicago O’Hare. However, since that flight was delayed, we missed our connection and the only other plane flying to Portland, ME didn't leave until eight at night...so we ended up spending between six and seven hours there. While there, I read even more books (By the time the day was over I read four books and some of my Bible with plenty of time doing other things. lol. I'm truly a book addict)...our plane left O’Hare roughly 9:30ish, but we get on the plane and an announcement comes over that the planes is going to Portland, but might have to land in Syracuse because of fog. When that happened my sister and I turned to each other and were like, we are NOT going to Syracuse (even though it would finally get us out of Illinois). Luckily we landed in Maine with no problem and a friend picked us up from the airport at 12:30a.m. Wednesday morning...the really amazing think was I didn't get to sleep 'till close to two in the morning and I had Physics at eight a.m. Oh. The. Joy...surprisingly, it wasn't too bad and I made it through all my classes without falling asleep. :D...


The second major thing that has happened is....I'm back at school. It's going good so far. It took until about yesterday to start really getting back into the rhythm of being back in classes. I'm only doing four classes this semester: Physics II, Chemical and Physical Oceanography, Calculus, and Writing the Modern World. However, I also have two work study jobs. The first is painting on campus which I've done the whole time I've been here. That has been really fun. The other job is working at the Marine Animal Rehabilitation Center on campus. I've yet to actually start there because my first shift was cancelled due to lack of things to do. Normally the place is hopping, but this has been a slower time. Hopefully this coming Monday, I'll have stuff to do...


Another thing that is new is I'm doing ballet twice a week. The university offers cardio classes and ballet is one of them and since I always have loved to dance I'm doing that. I actually took this class last year, but didn't do it last semester because I had a class at the same time...It is really fun to dance, even though I'm not that great at it...


Lastly, since the last time I posted I've gone to the movies twice. First I saw the second Sherlock Holmes with my brother. I thought that was a very funny movie...my favorite part (for those who have seen it) is when Sherlock is riding the pony. It is so hilarious. :D...the other movie I saw was Haywire. This past weekend my sister and I went to see it. We were so looking forward to it because it seemed like a cool kick-butt action movie. Boy were we wrong, it was a terrible movie!!! Everything about it was done poorly and the fighting was pathetic in my opinion...I want those hours of my life back. To me it ranked right up there with watching Michael Clayton on theatres and that was an excruciating experience.  lol.


Ok, now that I've bored everyone...Do I hear you sleeping?...How rude!....lol...just kidding...I'll let y'all go now...oh wait, I just remembered some other exciting news....my sister and I bought the first two seasons of Gilmore Girls for twenty buck. YIPPEE!!!!


"That's All Folks!"
