Well, I'm back from Kenya. It was an amazing time with family and friends.  So good to be with Mer's family and mine at the same time.  I had good times with my sister and both my parents. Lots of good talks and laughs.  It's not as hard coming back as I thought it would be. Perhaps it is because I know I will be back in Kenya in May.  That is exciting.  School kind of feels like I never really left.  Which is good in the social aspect of things but bad in the education part.  I'm not ready to start cranking papers out again.  But I kind of forgot how social I am here! I have so many friends and spend so much time with people. I did miss that while in Kenya.  I got to go to a highschool alumni thingie though. Scary. I'm old enough to go to one of those now.  It was good to see faces from the past though.  Now that I'm back I'm trying to get back into running and it's proving harder than I thought.  Sad. Three months ago I ran 13 miles and yesterday I had a hard time running 3 miles.  oh well. I think it's good that I have something to work towards again though.  It makes running more fun.  I'm starting work at the ropes course again.  This weekend got cancelled cuz it's supposed to snow (yeah right) but hopefully things will get going again. I love working there. Let's see....what else? um, um, um..... Another trip to WI in 20 days :) Happy me. Unfortunately I can't make it up there on alumni weekend all you WWCers. I'm so upset about that.  I have a project for one of my classes that weekend :( But think of me as you play broomball and hang out in the canteen. I dearly miss that place. I might be able to visit over the summer, but it's not the same.  Anyway, I should go now. 

I just had an amazing weekend in WI. It's hard to come back to school and focus on papers.  I have one due every day.  So I"m just writing one a night and spitting them out the night before.  None of them are hard, just time consuming.  But it's so hard to focus when I just had the best time ever and I get to see my family in 11 days! I love Christmas! I've been sleeping a lot just because I have no desire to do anything. So I just sleep.  I don't really like it.  But I'm letting myself get away with it for now because then it won't take me so long to catch up on sleep over Christmas break. So yeah...I don't know. I'm tired of being here at school and this semester was a hard one for me. Not with classes, just with everything else. I feel restless here and ready to move on. Next semester will probably be even harder. I hope I do okay with it.  But next year will be my last year and I will be in different housing and my sister will be here and the end will be in sight. Until then, I will keep pressing on.... Here's a pic for you guys from my amazing weekend with an amazing guy:

Too much work...ugh. School is overrated anyways. Two more days and I'll be in WI. And in 18 more days I'll be in the beautiful country of Kenya with my family. I can't wait for either.  I'm focusing on the two days for now though :) I can get through these papers...I hope.  I still have another one to do for tonight. And it's already one.  K, I'm done being a grouch about having the oportunity to go to an amazing school and get an education. Nothing exciting has been happening. I got to ride horses.  That was fun. I'm a pro now...except not.  We tried to take a video of me galloping but the silly horse wouldn't go and then when she finally started running she went straight towards a tree! It's really funny to watch though.  Anywho. I'm gonna get going on this dumb paper.....almost done with the semester. I can do this! Oh....I forgot. While I was procrastinating earlier I um....dressed up goth and took scary pics. It was fun. Here ya go!
