Peace Outtttt!!!!

My current status: I am riding in the car down I81 with my brother jammin out with all the windows down and music blaring so loud that the cars beside us are looking at us funny!

Before going home we are stopping at a friends to stay for the weekend. My best friend Ryan Peevey goes to Hampton Sydney which is in Farmville Virginia. I am so excited to see him, I feel like it has been forever since I have been able to hang out with him. He got my brother and I football tickets for tomorrow and then we are going to hang out with some of his friends and his frat brothers.

But I cant wait to get home and see my family!!!!!!!!! Yesterday I had my last class before my Thanksgiving break officially started and it felt like it was my last day at school. I wanted to throw all of my papers in the air with joy! I don't think I have ever been so ready for a break from school work!

I hope all of you have a great break with your family and friends. Relax, breath, and enjoy yourself this week! And remember what you are thankful for this week!

5 things I am thankful for:

1) My friends and family are healthy and happy
2)The grace of God in my life
3) My amazing school VT and my grades
4) The overwhelming love and support I get from my parents
5) My grandmother helping to put me through college

Purple Polka Dotted Panda

I don't really have a specific topic for this blog it is just going to be a few random thoughts. For some reason this week hasn't been that interesting and that is why I think that this blog is a little hard for me today. And the title has nothing to do with this blog I just named it something completely random and off the wall.

I am so ready for Thanksgiving break it isn't even funny! I cannot contain my excitement!!!!! I seriously had a dream of Thanksgiving dinner... that is so sad. I'm ready to see my family, my dogs, and most importantly I am so excited to sleep in my own bed! For Yilin and Tianli I hope you found out what dining hall are open and the bus schedule. Tianli you will probably enjoy the peace and quiet over the break with everybody gone and nobody talking and being extremely loud on your hall so you can study. Yilin you will like the peace and quiet as well so you can watch your Chinese shows :) but I hope y'all find some friends to spend Thanksgiving with though. Hermela I have not started Scandal yet. I plan on starting it over Thanksgiving break. Haha sorry :)

Today I am really going to be testing my running abilities to see if I am ready or this half marathon. When I finish this blog I am going to be running the huckleberry trail which is 12 miles. Wish me luck!

Has anybody else felt like they are napping more than usual? Holy moley I have napped more this week then I have in my whole life. I used to never take naps when I was home and now I feel like I am going to die halfway throughout the day if i don't take a nap. Also, my Netflix has become a serious problem! I don't get anything done when I start watching Netflix. I might have all the intentions in the world to just watch one episode and next thing you know 3-4 hours has past.

Well I'm not really sure what to talk about now... haha. Have fun tomorrow at the last home football game to our freshmen year! And be safe this weekend! See you Monday :)

Yeah... It's safe to say that I have lost my mind

So I have decided to run a half marathon over fall break... yes I am pretty sure I have lost my mind!! But my mom will be running it with me so it will kinda be like a mom and daughter date. I am extremely nervous especially since I only have about 3 weeks to train for this race. This week alone I have ran 26 miles which is a marathon but that was spread out over 7 days. I just don't know if I will be able to run 13 miles at one time without stopping. To tell you the truth I am absolutely terrified that I will not complete it. Naturally I am a great runner, but I am also extremely competitive therefore I know that I will collapse of fatigue before I walk in this race. Which is not good haha. I want to do really well that is why I have been working out like a fool for the past few weeks. I just really hope that my mom and I cross the finish line together and have a great time but at the same time I hope that we both complete it with a good time that we can be proud of.

Wish me luck!!

Minions for life

So Halloween was a success and we pulled off our minion costumes very well. I feel like the whole process of deciding what to be for halloween and going shopping at goodwill to get the parts we needed was great because, it really pulled the three of us girls together. We spent so much time taking pictures together last night and getting ready in my dorm room. We sat around painting each others nails bright yellow  and laughed about everything under the sun. These girls are so beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside and it makes me so happy that we dressed up as something fun and exciting not something sexy. And even thought we didn't have all of our goods hanging out guys still came up to us and complimented us on our outfits and how good we looked. I love those girls to death and I am so happy that I was able to share my first halloween here at VT with them. I wouldn't have traded it for anything.

MINIONS FOR LIFE!!! hahaha
