Catch Up

Ok.  So I'm still a slacker.  Oh well, at least I will be able to elaborate on just about everything that I listed in a previous post, so bear with me. :)

1) Posts about Fall Break
     Fall Break was fantastic.  I was able to get off work for a few days and go to Gatlinburg with Mom, Dad, Christie, Alex, and Ryan.  We had sooo much fun.  The cabin was wonderful.  The weather was pretty nice.  We did the usual and walked about the Gatlinburg strip.  We also went to a gun range to practice some shooting.  My favorite part of the whole break, other than getting to spend time with family and friends, was the food!  I missed Daddy's Filipino food and Ryan's grilling and Mom's desserts!  Hopefully we will get to get away again soon.

2) Posts about the fabulous new friends I have made in the past few months
     These friends would have to be from POLO.  I have made several amazing friends over the past few months.  This past Preview, I have gotten closer with several of the older leaders.  Even though I missed my co-leader, Shawn, very much, we still had a great Preview.  It's been great.  Since I went inactive from PSP, I have been able to spend more time doing things with POLO.  On Thursday, we have our Thanksgiving dinner, so maybe I will be able to put up some pictures from that!

3) Posts about Grey's Anatomy and Private Practive
     There's not much to say about it.  The Writers' blog has been less than, how do I say it nicely, entertaining this year.  Grey's Anatomy has been better the last couple of episodes, but the first few of the season were rough.  I have really enjoyed Private Practice though.  It's more like the original Grey's in terms of plot.  Remember it comes on tomorrow!!!

4) Posts about Halloween parties
     Ryan and I had a Halloween party on the night of Halloween.  We had a great turn out.  We had a lot of fun chatting, watching scary (and one not so scary) movies, and eating food.  We had some great decorations.  We had so much fun that we hope to host another party around Christmas time (hint, hint: Ugly Sweater/Secret Santa Christmas Party.  This idea came from some of my POLO friends last year.)

5) Posts, hopefully, about some amazing day trips
     Unfortunately, I have not been able to get away long enough to do some day trips.  Maybe sometime soon.  :(

6) Posts about my first true experience camping
     Again, no time.

7) Posts about the brilliant colors that the leaves display
     This year, the leaves changed after fall break.  It was pretty.  I think the leaves and the colors were prettier in previous years, but they were still nice!  Since Ryan and I live where there are lots of trees, there are leaves all around the house.  Many of them are bright yellow.  They are huge!  I haven't taken any pictures, but I know there are several on Facebook.  :)

8) Posts, well maybe just a mentioning, about a special license I'm about to receive!
     Well, I haven't had the money to do that yet.  :(

9) Posts about family updates!
     Mom is doing well.  She has been very busy working on the new catalog for her job.  Dad is doing well also.  He seems to be staying busy too.  You should look at Mom's blog to see what they have been up to.  They have had great fun with the fall leaves.  Christie is doing well.  I am sooo excited to get to see her in about a week.  She turns 20 on Saturday!  This makes me feel old.  Well, I have felt old since the beginning of the semester, but we won't go into that. ;)

10) Posts about Butch updates!
     Butch has been doing well.  He has loved all of the extra company that we have had over at the house.  A couple of weeks ago we had a little incident with our neighbor's son's pitbull.  When Ryan was walking Butch one morning, he saw the pitbull.  Well, Butch thinks he's a very larger Rotweiler, which obviously he's not, and decided to jump up to play with the pit bull.  Well, the playing lead to a bite that left a gash on Butch's should.  It looked more gruesome that it actually was, but we took him to the vet anyway.  With a little pain medicine and some anitbotics, he is healing well.  :)

11) Updates on how school is going
     School is almost done!  ;)  I have gotten to that stage where I am ready for new classes.  I have enjoyed these and I'm ready for new ones.  Next semester I will be taking Vertebrate Embryology, Animal Physiology, Philosophy of Art, and Writing/Literature/Technology.  I'm really looking forward to it.

12) Posts about Homecoming
     I had a lot of fun for Homecoming.  I participated with two groups.  The first event that I participated in was co-ed flag football with PSP.  It was so much fun, even though we were badly beaten.  The next event that I got to participate in was dodgeball with POLO.  It was so much fun.  We made it to the third round!  The last event was Homecoming King and QUeen campaigning for POLO.  Johnny, our POLO representative got Homecoming Prince!

13) Posts about anything! (I'm ending on this number because it is my favorite number! I know I'm weird, but if you would like to put it this way, it's Halloween season!)
     Well, I am officially caught up for now.  These are going to be a hectic few days.  I have to write a memoir, a video summary, and a manuscript for Cell Bio due next week.  I have a test next week too.  Hopefully, nothing else will come up soon.  Well, next time...maybe if I write a list then maybe I'll stick to the blogging...Thanksgiving dinner x3 (POLO, PSP if I decide to go, and the real one at home), trip back home, work, and the Ugly Sweater party!

Until then!
