I have been so bad about updating lately and I apologize! This semester has already been a bit hectic. I had my first midterm of the semester last week (insane that my professor scheduled it for the second week of the semester!). I had to memorize the entire anatomy of a dinosaur, but I managed to get an A (: So my weeks have consisted of studying, classes, babysitting, church, and hanging out with friends. I've actually had quite a bit of free time, and I'm trying to get out of the dorm as much as possible. I don't want to stay home all this semester and be lazy... So I've been hanging out with my friends and roommates often. Spencer and I have been studying together and going to Starbucks (I don't know what I'm going to do when he goes to France next year!).
Other than that, I feel like I came into this semester with an open mind and I have really found a new appreciation for my roommates. I got pretty annoyed last semester, but I think because I haven't been home as much this semester, I've gotten along with them much better. We've had some nice conversations and fun laughs already... Things are looking up as of right now.
I also had my interview for Hume Lake last week, and I'm thinking it went pretty well. The conversation flowed pretty easily between me and the woman who interviewed me. Then on top of that, my Bible study leader, Matt, knows the lady conducting interviews and hiring people (he worked at the camp a few summers ago and plans to work there again this summer...) so he sent her a really nice email about me! I'm hoping that helps too (:
My Valentines Day was spent having a nice dinner with friends (the night before) then at church and babysitting. Since I did not have a boyfriend or a guy in my life this year, I was happy I could babysit Josiah and let Micah and Erica have a nice night out. It also gave me some time to get some homework done and just relax for a little bit while the little guy napped. It was much better than spending my day at home thinking about how everyone was going on dates haha!
As for the weeks to come, they're pretty much involving the same routine I mentioned earlier, which I don't mind at all! I'm not in a huge hurry to go home or anything, but it would be nice to see everyone probably some time next month. I miss my friends and family... and of course that crazy little dog! I'll most likely visit Clovis again in the middle of March or something then I'll be home again for spring break and my birthday in April. I don't feel quite as homesick this semester... Maybe because I'm more used to this environment now or because I had seven whole weeks at home, but either way it's nice to feel comfortable here. Sonoma State finally feels like my home away from home.
