Halloween is tomorrow! I get to leave Columbia at about 10:15am! My dad is picking me up early since my afternoon classes are cancelled! YAY! Steven doesn't get out of class until 4pm..but he will be heading to my house for our Halloween party as soon as he possibly can! It is going to be so much fun! I love Halloween! School is going great...I am pretty sure I am making good grades so far. I finally signed up for my classes for next semester and finished making my schedule! I was able to get into the Normal Language Development class. I am really excited...this is a class I need in order to start the Masters program for Speech Pathology! Hopefully it will transfer to where ever I end up going to graduate school with out any problems! I am getting ready to go to my Italian LAB and later tonight Steven and I are going to our friends Halloween party for a little while! Should be a good time! :) Well I hope everyone has AWESOME plans for tomorrow night! Be safe and have a Happy Halloween! Ciao!

This past weekend was wonderful! I got to go back home and see my family! I felt bad that daddy came to pick me up and drove me back home! That is a lot of driving! I love my daddy so much for doing that for me! Friday night I visited with my grandparents and my aunt and little cousins! It was fun! On Saturday I went Halloween costume shopping with my sister Laura and my friend that lives down the street, Megan! It was so much fun. I got some really cool fake eyelashes and vampire fangs to wear! I can't wait for Halloween. When we got home from shopping we had a steak dinner and then watched a movie! Sunday we all carved pumpkins! It was so much fun! I loved being outside in my own yard and seeing all our neat Halloween decorations. I can't believe that Halloween is this Friday already! We are having our Halloween get together as usual. I am excited...I get to come home for that too! YAY! I need to go and read more of my book for school! Hope everyone has a fantastic week!

Today was a good day. I love that it is cold! Tomorrow is suppose to be yucky and rainy though. I went to Target today and bought some Reese's peanut butter cups, a jacket...I really needed one...and some brown boots! I felt really bad for buying the boots...they weren't cheap and I normally don't splurge like that. I do really like them though and I think I will get a lot of use out of them. I went to McDonalds with my friend Meghan today! I haven't seen her in a while and it was nice to get to hang out with her again! She went home last weekend so I didn't get to see her! I am glad she is my friend...she is awesome! I have had so much homework lately, I hope I can make it through the rest of this semester! I started my intro to communications science and disorders class. It is really interesting and I think I really want to pursue a career in speech pathology. That is my goal, if everything goes the way I plan. I am borrowing New Moon, the sequel to Twilight, from Meghan...I can't wait to start reading it, but I have to read a book for a class first. So hard to read the boring school book knowing that New Moon is waiting for me! :) I hope everyone has a good week, despite the rain that is to come. Au revoir.

Today was a good day! My grandparents drove in from St. Louis to visit me and take me to lunch. It was nice to see them! I am so glad they came to visit. I was able to show them my apartment and around campus. I love them so much! It was really nice of them to drive all the way out here just for one afternoon! Classes are going well...I am glad it is the weekend. I am excited to read more of Twilight...I am about halfway finished...don't want it to be over so soon...it is just so good! I am glad the weather has been colder. It truly feels like fall now with the leaves changing colors. Campus looks really pretty this time of year. I am excited for Halloween, I get to see my family and my house with all the Halloween decorations. Well I hope everyone has a great weekend! Ciao!

I had a pretty good day today...I didn't mind the rain really at all. Infact I rather enjoyed it. The other day I went on a nature trail near my apartment complex with my friend Meghan. We found many cool places just to sit and relax. When walking down a trail we came face to face with two deer. It was so magical, they even started walking towards us. They were so cute! As the sun began to set we realized that we were a little lost and ended up having to walk about 3 miles back the parking lot. We made it back to her car just before nightfall so that was good...phew! We had a lot of fun though! Anyways, today I found out I received an A on my Italian exam! That made me happy! I am reading this book called "Twilight" and it is really good so far...I can't seem to put it down! I miss home, but I will be home next weekend...I can do this...I am strong.

Today was a good day. I had a very interesting experience. My boyfriend, Steven, had to see something related to music in the Columbia area for a grade in one of his classes. We found, what we thought would be a performance at a Presbyterian church about 10 minutes away. We got there and they welcomed us in. They handed us some hymnals and asked us what parts we sang. We were both really confused, but we told them and sure enough we were asked to sit according to our voice range! Then we sight read and sang music for about an hour or so with the older people of the church. It was AWESOME! They were really good and it was so fun to be able to sing again with a group and listen to the harmonies! They told us that if we ever wanted to come back and just sing with them we could. They never perform for anyone except themselves, they just love music so much. It was really quite fun! :)

II : il dieci ottobre

So my friends Meghan, Margaret, and I decided to explore the woods behind our apartments today. It was really pretty. There was a creek with big flat rocks and really crystal clear water. We found so many random things down there. We found a lot of TVs, we found some golf balls, two big bouncy balls to play with...one was blue and the other one was pink. It was so nice to play in the woods again. I haven't been in the woods in a long time. It was really fun!
