WKU announced yesterday that the campus is switching from Pepsi to Coke! I'm an avid believer in Coca-Cola. I happily welcome this transition in my last year on the Hill.
WKU also fired their basketball coach. I'll go to my first basketball game of the season very soon, I'm sure. Looking forward to the watching the players I read so much copy about last semester at the Herald.
Resolution-wise, I cleaned my room. Er, cleaning. Well, I cleaned it, I just need to do some organizational-type things. I'm finally content with my furniture arrangement after living here five months. Go figure. I need to clear my desk off and unpack that pesky catch-all box in the corner.
Brian and I have also been going to the gym more (read, at all) this semester. He gained weight last semester that he's determined to get off. I gained weight during Christmas break freshman year and have been working to get that off ever since. Guess who's already down five pounds? Brian, of course. At least I'll have access to Coke Zero this semester...
That's about it for the new year; just working, cleaning, working out and baking cake nuts with my wonderful roommate!
The Holidays:
Christmas seems like a blur. We had so much food, so many people, so many presents and so much fun that I don't think it really sank in.
Oh, yeah, and my best friend got married on the 17th. My trip to Virginia was pleasant and short, the flights weren't too obnoxious (minus the one guy who felt the need to tell me how rough the past week had been due to his excessive partying. Unfortunate.) The wedding was cute and simple and I loved hanging out with Megan's new step-son, Hayden, who just turned five.
Anyway. Christmas. Racked up on houndstooth stuff for REAL. If only I were an Alabama fan...oh well. I got lots of cookbooks and baking things, including Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible. I'm one recipe into it and in love.
I got to meet my newest cousin Jordyn (there will be photos of her for sure!) and hang out with Blake and Bo. After Herrington Christmas, I headed north for New Year's in Louisville. I got more cooking things and a monkey hat and scarf. I wore it on a tour last week and kept my hands in the built in monkey mittens on the end of the scarf.
NYE was spent at one of B's friend's house (actually, 2 close friends live there) and we had a pretty relaxed night of video games, queso and shenanigans. At midnight someone down the hill from us was releasing Chinese lanterns and it absolutely BLEW my mind. I watched them for a solid 30 minutes before Brian reminded me I should put on shoes if I'm going to stay out that long. Oops?
I crashed shortly after midnight, we went to Bob Evans for breakfast and then spent the rest of the day hanging out and playing with B's dog.
Back to BG for work, fast forward a bit, and here we are! I'm the most excited about this weekend — we'll be in Pigeon Forge with some of the same people from NYE. It's four couples, and the guys get a long really well, and I'm sure we ladies will have some wonderful bonding time in the hot tub =) I've been planning car pools and meals and picked the cabin myself! I think it's pretty nifty! Might be a little cramped, but oh well. A fun weekend shall be had nonetheless!
On the downside, we found out tonight that one of the guys in HFC has been diagnosed with lung cancer. Our minister reported it as being "very treatable," but Matt will need six rounds of chemo at least, so be praying for him and his family.
Now, to end the post with some pictures!
