The August Adventure

It has been a crazy roller-coaster-of-a ride since the last time I posted! I bought myself a beautiful electric blue Coby mp3 player with my left over birthday money and let me tell you that was probably the best $40 I have ever spent. I've been slowly preparing for my third semester of college and final year of high school. I'm taking three classes at the H.S. and three at the college and I need to pick up my final books by the end of this week because class starts on the 23rd. And I can't help but repeatedly slam my head into a blunt object whenever I see how much my books are going to cost. Lucky for me I found them all on EBay and Amazon which saved me about $150. I seriously recommend getting every possible book someplace other than the college itself. They rob you of your money and then act like they're doing you a favor when they give you back $15 for a $150 book! But enough of that I have other things to tell you!

District conference was this weekend and it was awesometastic! {Don't argue with my language usage, just go with it.} For those of you who don't know what that is...
The Michigan District of the Church of The Brethren had their annual get together. Fascinating, no? We left on Friday morning after a hurried night of last-minute packing n' such. Friday was slow and quite frankly I didn't enjoy myself as much. But Saturday was amazing I met up with the youth group (see:ambush)and had a pretty amazing time. I even managed to find someone who's steadfastly becoming a solid friend. I can't explain how glorious it was to have worship everyday as well. And I went swimming...In a pool. *sigh* I like pools.

And now that we have returned home it's time to rush headlong into the 'before school' schedule. Which means an epic amount of cleaning on my part, shopping and a lot of lists because I like lists. Wish me luck!

Well, I should probably sign off now. NOAA is indicating a pretty wicked thunderstorm in our area and I want to post this before we lose power.
