Ok so here we go one blog every quarter of a year. I know you are all just dying to know what's going on in my world :). Well it is nearing the middle of the semester and I am swamped with work. I have had at least two exams a week for the last two weeks and two more this coming week. Also on the agenda I have three big papers to write, something I HATE doing. I am just not a fan of being forced to write about something.

Let's see there was a big holiday that my blog missed, so I'll fill you guys in on that. I had planned on setting up a kind of quest for Andy in order for him to get his gift. He was going to have to follow photo clues and along the way he would find little gifts. Well the finale was going to be him being sent to Cancun (a favorite restaurant of ours) and I would give him his big gift there. Unfortunately it had been a busy week and I hadn't gotten around to taking all of the necessary photos. I had decided that I would go early in the day and take a picture of the restaurant andthen have the photos developed at Walgreens the 1-hour way. So he and I had decided we'd meet at about noon at his apartment to exchange gifts. I still had about an hour or so to go so I thought I was doing fine on time. I pulled into the parking lot of Cancun to take the picture and there was Andy waiting in his car....apparently for me. Unbeknownst (sp?) to me he had set up a similar quest which I was intended to discover when i had shown up at his apartment. His quest for me (and no we hadn't discussed any of this previously) was to result in my meeting him at Cancun. Anyhow we both yelled at each other for spoiling the surprise. He insisted that I go his apartment anyways and follow the clues the proper way. So in the end it was a pretty good Valentine's if not ironic :oP We think too much alike. I bought him (and I) tickets to go see Jim Gaffigan at the Bijou Theatre here and he gave me chocolates and a bracelet.

Other than all of that nothing really has happened in the way of news. I'm excited about my spring break plans. We leave this coming Thursday out of Nashville. Maybe..just maybe Daddy will let me borrow his digital camera for the trip.

P.S. I have really really gotten into watching Ellen on my breaks between classes. I absolutely love that show. She is so funny and positive.

Oh and long overdue here is my Top 100...well at least 1/4 of it. I've written the rest, but I figured I needed to make sure I had fuel for a future blog.
