oh, food network.

so ... this weekend, i discovered a new addiction.

... food network.

okay, seriously...do you even understand how wonderful that channel is?
because i cannot stop watching it.

my favorites?
paula dean
rachael ray
guy fieri

...i actually don't really like emeril.
crazy, i know.
but i find him annoying.

and if he's on...
i'll usually just switch the channel to hgtv...

oh, hgtv...

never say never...

alright.
so before i started college, i kept hearing people talk about changing their majors.
and i was so happy because i thought i'd neeeever want to change mine.
...again. never say never.

okay, so i didn't really drastically change my major, but i changed it.
i used to be in early childhood education.
now i'm in special education.

the benefits:
1) there is a possibility that once i actually enter the program, they'll completely fund my tuition.
2) i'll have all of my classes with the same group of 30 students, which means i'll be able to form some really good friendships.
3) i'll be able to teach regular ed. elementary school AND special ed.
4) this is something i've ALWAAAAYS wanted to do.
5) i don't have to take hist 266 (which i was enrolled in)
6) which means i got to drop a class.
7) which means i don't have any classes on friday.
8) and i'm done with class on wednesdays at 10:00.
9) oh. and i was supposed to have a test in that class tomorrow. ;-)
10) fewer science classes
11) fewer math classes
12) they're gonna freakin' pay for my tuition!!!

the drawbacks:
1) i kinda like my history prof.
2) ...my knowledge of texas' history won't be very in-depth. (insert sarcasm here.)

...pretty sure the pros outweigh the cons, no?

hope everyone else's day was as marvelous as mine was.

my boyfriend is pretty much the best. ever.

so corey surprised me today my coming up here for my birthday.
it was great.
he gave me the entire series of friends on dvd. i was pretty freakin' happy!

my daddy was supposed to come have lunch with me tomorrow (which would have been amazing), but it didn't really work out.
oh well. at least i know my family loves me enough to want to come. that's really all that matters to me, anways.

so basically, i'm thinking 5 things right now:
1 - i love my parents alot, and i love that i feel like we've gotten closer since i left.
2 - i love corey too. he's pretty great.
3 - nicole and i should never again make chocolate candies. we're really way too good at it.
4 - winston (our fish) is a pretty amazing fish. even if he is anorexic.
5 - geology still pretty much sucks. alot.

first college exam...

finally got my grade back for my first geology test.

90.9
yesssss.

i miss blogging.

alright, so here we go.
i've decided to create a blog (again) because i dearly miss my old one.

first weekend up here in college station without really having any plans...
turned out rather interesting - nicole and i went on an adventure looking for vanilla (not white chocolate) baking bits. finally found 'em after the fourth store.
and now it's 10:00 at night and we're making dark chocolate/vanilla candies.

... just 'cause we feel like it.

tomorrow my aunt/uncle/cousin are all coming up here for a large birthday celebration (three of us have a birthday within the next 5 days.)
so that should be fun.

i miss everyone back home.
alot.
but it's (slowly) getting a little easier.

heaven is here
and tonight, we are the only ones who feel it.
