Long Time, No See?

Hey everybody!!!
Sorry 'bout the long wait. I was dealing with a small episode of slight depression I think. I got over that the week before my parents let me come home for the first time since I moved up here to Ames. Logan came and saved me by taking me to Winterset for the weekend. Ever since then all my weekends have been booked. It's been wonderful and keeps me distracted from missing my house too much. I'm starting to not miss home as much but I still am a little bit. I'm ready now to start my own life with my own family and place. This is just a transition I guess. Logan is helping me make it through.
So after the weekend at Logan's, I got to go home. And weekends after that, my cousin Sera and lil' sis' Lauren came to visit. It was a lot of fun. Sera stayed the night and we had fun with that. Showed her around campus. Lauren came the weekend of this event called Closets Collide. It's an event where you go in the morning to donate your clothes and you get a maximum of 10 tickets. Then in the afternoon you come and "shop" by trading your tickets for clothes. One ticket per clothing item. Lauren and I had a lot of fun doing that together. After Lauren and I had dinner, she was all like 'I don't want to drive home' so we convinced my parents to let my come home for the night, which I liked a lot. I still made Lauren drive so she could figure out how to do it, but she wasn't alone so it all worked out. Last weekend Logan came up and stayed the weekend. It was a really nice weekend. He took me on a fantastic date to Hickory Park, which I loved, and then we watched Princess and the Frog the next day before he left. I also had a Lyrica concert and it was fantastic!!
Been figuring out my classes for the next four years and that's going very very well. I've decided to declare an Art Minor. I pretty much have all four years planned out. I have everything, all the classes for my Major and all the classes for my Minor, plus two extra classes just because I'm interested in the subject and want to learn about them more. One's an Introduction to Catholicism and the other is Latin 101. I also think that next fall I'm going to ask St. Thomas's if I could go through catechism to learn even more about Catholicism.
My sewing class has been really fun. I'm doing so much. In class in the labs I've made a mini bodice and a mini skirt. Also for a out-of-class assignment I had to make a skirt, which so many people have loved and now want me to make them one. I told people I would as long as they payed for fabric etc. I think I'm going to start making a bunch of my own clothes because it's fun and it could possibly save me a lot of money eventually.
My homework load hasn't been too bad. It's been sort of easy, actually. The only class that has given me a somewhat heavy workload is my TC 165 class. There are a lot of stuff that I have to do for out of class so that I can get enough points to pass the class. I also have had to write three extensive reports on data that I personally had to collect through observing people. It took a lot of work. I'm starting to not like that class because it involves a lot of busywork. Come to think of it, a lot of my classes are starting to just give me a lot of pointless busywork. I really don't like it.
So through my CyMail I got a job offer asking me if I would be interested in participating in reviewing products online through surveys and online private chat room discussions. I can make a lot of money doing it so I'm going to talk to my parents about it and I think I'm going to sign up/ apply for it this weekend. I'd love to do this because I could make a lot of money in a semi-easy was. I'd have completely flexible hours too. Logan and I have agreed that it would be a great opportunity for me.
I get to go home this weekend to see my lil' sister in her musical Anne. I can't wait. Plus I get to see the grandparents which will be nice because I haven't seen them in a while.
I've been watching way to much Disney Channel lately. It's kind of nice that I do have some down time like that, but I should probably try to find something more productive to do. Oh well. There will be a one hour Hannah Montana Forever showing on Sunday at 6:30pm. I think it's like a season finale which I'm really excited about. I can't wait to see it. I'm actually going to make sure I'm here and able to watch it. I've never done anything like that before. Lol.
So so much has been going on. I'll try to do better about keeping updated with my blog. Got to go do my nails. They're getting too long and the paint is chipped up. Yes, I've actually been painting my nails. It's kind of nice. I've also realized that I've had to dress up a little bit. That has definetly been nice. I like it. I should've done this long time ago.
Anyways, got to go. Blog later!!!
