Hey everyone!  Well, I'm back at CNU now for my senior year, whoo.  My summer was ok, it's depressing that I couldn't do all the things I wanted because of working all day every day, but that's life I suppose.  One day soon I'll be a housewife and I can do whatever I want, lol.  Anyway, I took the last week of summer off to relax and get stuff together, plus Chris' birthday was the 15th so I wanted to be off to celebrate that.  I finally got to see him on his actual birthday this year, that was really nice.  I brought him new tennis balls and balloons and we just layed around and watched Dr. Phil, haha.  I also cooked him dinner 2 days later and that went REALLY well.  He was happy.  Pictures will follow soon I hope.  Yesterday my cousin Adam came up here and I helped him get his student ID and parking pass and stuff.  It's weird seeing my cousin before class starts - he stopped by my class today cause we have classes 2 rooms down from each other on T/Th nights.  My classes have been good so far.  I was nervous about this semester because everyone kept saying it was gonna be so much work with an honors capstone class and 2 master's classes, but really, it's not shaping up to be all that bad so far.  Granted, I haven't had one of my master's classes yet, but still, not too bad.  Shakespeare class is gonna be so awesome, Dr. Rowley is the coolest professor ever.  Her energy is like none other, the whole room was in a good mood when we left.  It still trips me out how she just cusses right in front of everyone, and I swear the handouts she gives us all smell like inscense.  We might even be going to Staunton to see a play which will be cool, and she said we can sing songs and play word games on the bus on the way up there, lol!  My honors class is kind of nice too because we have half the semester of no class, just time to do our research and write.  That's the only class I have on Friday's, too, so that means I get a bunch of 3-day weekends all semester.  Yay!  Most of the work I'm gonna have this semester is research and writing, but at least it all has to do with teaching and kids and stuff, so it's actually stuff I'm interested in as opposed to government policies or some S.  I really hate politics, I'm glad our honors class is only partially about that.  Wellll, I have some Hamlet reading to do, and I have a hall meeting tonight.  I'll update later ya'll, bye.  Good luck with classes this week.
