I came home for the weekend, just needed a little break from Raleigh and school. Had two tests this past week and registered for classes. Weird to think that I am registering for my last semester as a Junior and this time next year I will be a Senior.. ahhh. Scaryyy to think about!! I registered for all Junior/Senior level classes, taking a variety of Business classes: Marketing, Finance, Ethics, Operations and a Calculus lab.
Not too much going on next week, just one test and some reading for Lit. By some I mean an entire novel, but that's for another post. Halloween is next Friday so I am heading to Greenville to hang out with some friends, I think this year I am going as a football player. Not sure if I will ever out grow Halloween, I just love dressing up and eating tons of candy and of course decorating my apartment with pumpkins and skulls!
Only 26 days till the big 21st birthday!! And then only 32 days till Myrtle Beach for Thanksgiving! Then not too much longer till the Christmas holidays and little Lincoln is born :)

Annoyed
Lately I've been really annoyed with celebrities. This is probably the lamest topic I'm ever gonna discuss but it really annoys me that they think because they are in movies or on tv that they have the right to trash talk politicians. One, they usually have absolutely no formal education past middle school. Two, they are all millionaires, seriously, your worried about my college loans, health care and the lower class? Doubt it. I just can't wait for the election to be over so I can stop watching them preach to us. Ughh. Okay.. I'm done now. Oh and I voted for the first time this election, absentee ballot but still neat to know that I am old enough to help hopefully elect a president.

Fall
I love this time of the year, cooled weather, FOOTBALL and my birthday :) My past few weekends have been full of NC State football and I love it. This past weekend we beat ECU, which was ranked 14th in the nation, go Wolfpack! The weather was a bit chilly when we got out there but by the time the game started at noon it had warmed right up to around 75 degrees, perfect temp for watching a game.
In very exciting news, my 21st birthday is less than 2 months away yay!
Also this past Friday, my roommates and I, hosted the appetizer portion of a progressive dinner. Little bit stressful but overall a success.
Back to the books I go, THREE tests tomorrow :(

Bedroom Pictures
I know it has taken me forever to post these pictures but in my defense I have been SUPER busy.. this isn't even my whole room or the rest of the apartment but I promise those will come shortly. Just thought I would post what I have.. Let me know what you think :)
My bed, got a new comforter, the walls are a gray/silvery color
The shelf over my desk, and my pretty pink wall of course!
My window, this wall is white.
That's it for now, more to come soon :) Hope everyone is having a Happy September!

I'm Back!
I've been MIA from the blogging world for awhile but I decided it was about time for me to post again. A lot has changed since my last blog, I am in a new apartment, with a new job and a new course load.
This past summer I completed an online history course and got an A :) It was pretty pain free only 5 weeks and 2 books and I had 3 more credits towards graduation.
I am working at State Employee's Credit Union now in the Call Center. It's pretty flexible because they are open 24 hours a day. Now that classes are starting I work in the morning before my afternoon classes or in the afternoon if I have morning classes. It's not a lot of hours but it's enough right now to keep me busy!
I love my new apartment and new roommates! The old place was nice and I liked my roommates but this new place is already so decorated and I actually hang out with my roomies which is a lot of fun. The past few nights we have all been eating together and it just feels more homey now. I still have some boxes to move to my storage unit/home so when I get all that figured out I will post pictures!
School started on Wednesday the 20th and I am both excited and anxious for the semester. I am finally really getting into Business classes, they are still pretty general ones but at least they are more in my concentration. I am taking one of them online, hope it goes as well as my summer class! My other classes are just to meet other criteria, one is a Literature class, I have to read 11 books, YES 11! Pretty crazy but so far so good. My other class is Insects and People, and as weird as it sounds, I think it may end up being one of my favorites. The teacher seems pretty neat and it is very interactive, should be a good time.
As some of you may know I am not a big fan of country music but Friday night I kinda got talked into buying a ticket to the Kenny Chesney concert. Most of my friends had tickets for months but I had no intention on going. My friends kept talking it up and made it sound like something worthwhile. I was at work and happened to come across someone with an extra ticket and bought it. Needless to say it was a great time! I very much enjoyed myself and foresee myself attending his shows in the future!
The girls before the show
Well that's all for now, I am off to print notes and read for classes. I promise to have an update soon with pictures of my new place.

Golf Tournament, Beach Trip, School Update & Semi-Formal
This past month has been quite hectic! AKPsi has an annual charity golf tournament in April and this year I had a chance to play in it. I have never played 18 holes before so it was quite interesting and I learned I can't really play and need to stick to putt-putt. Although I can't really play it was still a great time and I got a last place trophy out of it.
The following weekend I headed to Cherry Grove, SC for the annual AKPsi Beach Trip. The weather was great and we got to lay out on the beach all day, play some football and just relax before exams started.
After two fun weekends it was time to study for finals. I had four finals within 3 days but was done earlier than all of my friends and finished my sophomore year on April 30th. This was my best semester yet and I finished this semester with a 3.5 GPA and made the Dean's List for the first time!
After exams were over I headed to Williamsburg to visit Chris, Michelle and Ava for a few days. We went to Busch Gardens and it was Ava's first trip and she was just too cute riding the little kiddie rides. I had a great time beating Chris and Michelle at the Wii everyday and playing with Ava. We also saw Ironman and I would recommend it to everyone, it was very good!
Tuesday night I had my semi-formal in downtown Raleigh. It was a lot of fun but sort of bittersweet though because it was the last gathering with all of the seniors.
