SNOW!!

Last night Hanna and I decided to make one of our usual ice cream runs! (We make them a lot! haha) So we made our way to the food court which is in our building but we still have to go outside to get to it. When we walked outside we realized they weren't kidding about all the snow!! It was coming down in BIG flakes :) I was so excited! I hadn't gotten to play in the snow all winter so this was perfect! It was nine o'clock and I had an 8 am but the teacher usually cancels the class if its bad weather, so I was banking on that!! (And I was right! 2 out of 3 of my classes got canceled today :) So we called Derrick and told him to put on warm clothes because we were going to play in the snow! Hanna and I got ready..I had 4 layers of clothes on!! Then we headed over to Teter. When we go over there of course Derrick wasn't ready! I was sweating by this time and ready to go! So Derrick told us to go ahead and he'd be out in a minute. Well we didn't want to go by ourselves so Park said he would come with, then a few more thought it looked fun! So we went out and made snow angels and attempted to make snow balls! (It wasn't sticking!) Pretty soon the entire floor was out side playing! Someone even said we were on IUTV! We played football and then just goofed around! I guess everyone thought Hanna and I were easy targets because we spent more time on the ground then standing!! We are both a little sore today!! It was a lot of fun and I really am going to miss a lot of them next year. It didn't really hit me and Hanna until last night that we have made really good friends with all of them and next year won't be the same without them! We spend a lot of time over at Teter for Monday night football or catchphrase nights or just to hang out. Here are a few pictures from last night!!

Park, Keaton, Sam, Hanna, Me and Ben: Ben taking me out!:
This pretty much sums up the night! haha:

"Its amazing how much bending the human body can take without actually breaking!"-Hanna haha Tallal and Keaton beating me up! I have no idea what I would do without them!! Ben, Derrick, Hanna, and Me

Honesty..

I have just been thinking a lot lately about many different things so this first part is just me rambling on on about what is going on in my mind at this moment...I'm sorry if its kind of here and there but I am just typing whatever comes to mind, something that I usually refrain from doing.

Well today has been a pretty good day! As I'm walking to class things often pop into my mind that I could write on here about! (Sad I know haha) I've been thinking a lot just about life in general. I am a firm believer in the fact that everything happens for a reason. All the things I have been through, good or bad, happen for a reason. When I think I am going through something tough I just think that some people have it way worse. Ya, my first couple weeks here at IU were miserable pretty much, as I have said before. But some people don't even have this chance. Something that kept me going through that time was just the fact that I did not want to dissappoint anyone. One of my biggest fears in life is failure. When I don't want to study or wake up for those 8 am classes I just think that in the long run I will be happy I did. I don't want to have to depend on anyone. Of course I want to get married and have a family, don't get me wrong. But I want to be able to provide for myself if something would happen..I guess I think about that a lot. The future scares me. I know exactly what I want to do: 3 more years at IU for athletic training after this year and then 3 more years after that at Physical Therapy school...But I am also full of doubts..What if I don't make it into the Athletic Training program, or what if I don't get into PT school after 4 years of planning my life for that..where am I going to live those 6 more years? Will I still have the friends I have now? Will I meet someone?......But then I think Oh my gosh I am a freshman! Why am I worrying about this?! haha I know that my amazing family and fabulous friends will always be there for me no matter what.

Ok thats enough of that..like I said today has been a good day so I'll just let you know a little about it!
This morning I woke up bright and early for my 8 am. Lifespan Development. I don't really know what I was expecting for that class, but I can honestly say that I'm definately not at good ol' North Daviess anymore! Wow! The teacher is ummm, very honest. He's not afraid to talk about anything! Which in a way is a good thing because its entertaining and keeps us awake in those early hours of the morning haha I went over to the mall for just a little bit after that mostly just to get out of the room. Then it was time for my gymnastics class, which I love love LOVE! ha It is a required class for PE majors so it based mainly on the teaching aspect but it is still so much fun. We get to spot each other so we still get to do some skills. The teacher is really nice and allows to have fun and goof around but also get stuff done. Everyone in the class is really nice and everyone gets along. Also 75% of our grade is based on us volunteering at the local YMCA with the gymnastics classes and I am so excited!!
Well that is enough for today i believe!!

CHRISTMAS BREAK

WOW, so i know it has been a little bit since I have written on here, but it was break so thats my excuse! Break was GREAT! Thats about the only way I can describe it! I loved just being home. I would love to tell you all of what I did over break, but that would take way too long to type! I spent a lot of time with friends. Some of us may have changed a little bit since we have been together but when you get us all together its the same as usual! I had so much fun with all of them. Christmas was amazing! I love holidays and Christmas is no different! I love spending time with my family..I love them all so much and I know I say that all the time, but I just can't say it enough! Like I said break was great and that made it just that much more tough to come back to school. I was excited for all of my classes, but of course just being here makes me miss my family..but don't worry I'm not even considering transferring!! haha
So I guess I'll tell you a little bit about my day so far! 6:30 am came WAY too early this morning! I have an 8 o'clock class everyday (minus Friday!! My teacher today told us that he didn't feel the need to have class at 8 am on Friday and of course the class all agreed!!) I have a full load this semester, 19 credit hours!! Fun fun, right?! I have a break now for a bit, heres a list of my classes:
*Anatomy-Its required for my major and will be tough, but I am excited about it anyway! That kind of stuff interests me
*Intro to Athletic Training: Also required and I am WAY excited about! We get to shadow an older Athletic Training Student...the only down side is that the class is all the way at Asembly Hall, where they play the basketball games, which is cool-but it is quiet a haul from my door...I'll believe i'll drive from now on to that one! haha
*Theories in Advanced Conditioning- This one shouldn't be bad and the teacher seems nice!
*Life Span Development
*Sociology
*Public Speaking
*and a Stunt/Jump/Tumbling Class: I haven't been to this one yet but I hope its fun and not just a lecture!! haha

Well thats about it! I'm sorry I don't have any pictures from break, but it would be way too hard to decide which ones to post!! I hope everyone had a wonderful break! Ill update soon! Love you all!!
