Waiting.. Post by Kaitlin

The end. I have reached it unofficially. I have all the symptoms of being done: no motivation, room checked out, everything packed. However, I still have ONE more final. I am sitting in the local coffee shop (Bluestem) anxiously waiting until 4 o'clock when I can go and take my last final of my freshman year. I can't wait to be home. Wish me luck!

Almost Done

Well.. We've almost finished a whole year of college. Less than 25 days left of school and we're done! It's hard to believe that it's been almost a year when we first arrived on that scorching hot day in August and thought we were dying. This place that started off as one of the worst places to us has changed into a place that we LOVE. We have learned the tricks that many college students learn throughout their studies. It took a while and many hard lessons later, we now know how to study, when to study and when not to study. :) We can't wait until next year to start another journey with many new lessons and experiences ahead of us. If you know the two of us.. something exciting is bound to happen.

We're Growing up..

This week we signed our lease for our apartment for next year. It was a pretty big deal to the 4 of us. We finally have a place of our own, and not the brick walled, community bathroom dorm room.. a real place. The process of finding our apartment was a little over-welming. We decided to be the responsible college students that we are and get ''estimates'' from the apartment complexes that we were interested in. After a couple of weeks and conversations with our parents, we found one! It's about a 1/2 mile away from campus, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and it has a pool. :) We are pretty happy.We are now residents of 1420 Watson Place Apartment# E24!

Pretty Great Tuesday... (Post by Kaitlin)

The weather is PERFECT! I don't know if anybody else found this remarkable, but it's February 24th and it's 70 degrees outside! Some could argue that this is due to global warming (probably a possibility) but I would like to argue that it's God's awesome power. I think he knew that we were all getting a little ''down in the dumps". What a perfect time for him to bless us with great weather and another day to experience his power.

Take full advantage of the weather. Go out and run, walk, or just read a book (one of my favorites). We may not get another one like this. Enjoy it!!

What a great Tuesday!

The Weeks Ahead..

Today we were both talking about our future assignments/tests/projects due this next week. As we were sharing our due dates, we both quickly realized these next 2 weeks are going to be quite busy. Kaitlin has 3 tests, 2 papers, and 2 math assignments due by March 7th. Annie has many other assignments due as well. She has a project due in almost every one of her busy long art classes, and who knows what else in anthropology and American ethics by March 6th. We are both looking forward to that weekend because 1. it will be over 2. WE'RE GOING HOME! It is safe to say, these next weeks will not go fast enough.

Caffeine will be our staple beverage this week and next week (not that it isn't always). Wish us luck! We apologize in advance if we're on edge. ;)

Weekend full of Fun (Post by Kaitlin)

This weekend is one of those weekends that we have been waiting for... Our best friends who we rarely see, are finally come to visit us in the Little Apple. To say the least.. I can't wait. Every night, Annie and I lay in bed (for minutes/ sometimes hours) talking about our day or the experiences that happened. Last week we reminisced on our past days, which led to middle school and high school. We lay in bed for what turned out to be 2 hours, laughing and shedding a few tears over the memories that we have. These 3 girls have been with us through many if not all of these memories. After moving to McPherson, at the beginning of my 6th grade year, I had convinced myself that I would never find friends who valued me for my beliefs, personality, and actions. It is safe to say, that I have found those friends. I am truly grateful for everyone of them. Each brings a different prospective to life. Steph: She brings a hyper, always happy, loud personality ( which i wouldn't change for anything). Jill: She is a great listener. She is one of the most friendly people I have met. She is always optimistic even when things seem anything but positive. Anna: She is one of the most accepting people I have every met, She is non-judgemental and always has something to bring to the table. I love you guys!

p.s... HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNIE! you're growing up so fast! :)
