"whoaaaa! we're half way there..."

"whoaaa! livin' on a prayer."
second semester already! i can't believe how fast this year has flown so far! i mean it feels like we were just going back to school, starting up tennis season and getting into the swing of things. well, it would seem that the first few days of the semester should be a bit more relaxed, but no. somehow the first week always seems to be the busiest for me. good thing i like to be busy. we're just going to have to live each day to the fullest and jump on in!

overall i'm excited to start this semester. many fun things to look forward to! i get to have a couple classes in the new building, which should be cool and of course track starts in just two weeks! how crazy is that? talk about time flying by...what was it like last week track ended? haha! thats at least what it feels like. and how about this for a shocker? i'm actually genuinely excited to start season. i know! i'm really looking forward to it for some reason. part of it is probably the fact that i just miss having something to do after school. at first i didn't really realize it, but i actually go to bed later when i don't have anything to do after school. i think it is because when i have a sport immediately after school it gives me a break to release all my energy and think about something other than homework as opposed to just going home. then i always end up waiting until after dinner to start anything and stay up even longer because i just can't seem to focus. is this making sense? oh, well i think i'm just weird. seriously though i can't wait to get jumping again! happy happy!

speaking of being happy...you know what else makes me happy! i only have two days of school this week!!! i get to go visit rebekah and cristina in michigan and see calvin! SO excited!

so, this will be a busy (but amazingly awesome) week!

blessings to all of you whatever you may be doing and wherever you are!
"...take my hand and we'll make it i swear. whoaaa! livin' on a prayer" love that song! :)
