I LOVE XMAS!
HEYYYY EVERYONE!! ohh im so sorry for how long it has been since my last post-i guess things were just too crazy around here before thanksgiving and everything, buut, now im back from break, trying to get back into the swing of things, and SOOO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS!! we've definitally got the spirit here, you should SEE our rooms!! they are insane! lol let me update you a little on what's been going on..
so, let me just say, one of the greatest things about college is the BREAKS!! lol, i was SOOO excited to go home for thanksgiving, seeing all my high school friends was incredible, and the times i got to spend with my family were priceless, i wouldnt change it for the world. In fact, its amazing how much my relationships with my family have changed since school-i have become so much closer with my parents (i actually TELL them stuff now) lol, and you really realize who your real friends from your high school days were. Its funny though, because as much as i loved being home, i realized just how much i missed my friends back here at school, and how awesome it is that i got to become friends with the people i have..at our "high school reunion party" so many of my older friends seem so different-completely opposite of me now, and i just seem to really relate to my college friends better. so, for those high school seniors out there, take a good look at the friends you have now, and a good look at yourself, because things are gonna change..but in a good way :)
and speaking of friends, I LOVE MY MOHNERS, but i have been meeting some other really cool people not in my dorm-there are some particulars in class, and of course the girls in my ACF group, and its just so neat how i continue to develop these relationships with people. its amazing, it really is. :)
anyway, about school..well, i came back last night around 8 and haha, we decorated like CRAZY. you should see our room, it looks like the department store in the movie ELF. haha, its awesome, i love it. and its great because in three weeks, we get to really come hojme to christmas. but ohh geeze, ill tell ya, im gonna miss these guys. :) speaking of school work though, this week is a KILLER..ive got more papers than i realize, and with finals..well, its gonna be hard. plus, how can i plan all this stuff around the christmas specials that are supposed to be coming on this week? lol,.ohh yea, and my BIRTHDAY!! lol December 9th ohhh yaa.last day of classes.!!
alright, ive practically typed my fingers off within this ten minute time-and ive got work i KNOW i can do, so im gonna get going. :) :) its a beautiful day, enjoy it. :)

E-A-G-L-E-S!!
Yea, 15 minutes to game time..big game tonight: Dallas vs. Eagles-sorry Albright, my homework is on HOLD for the next three hours..
hmm...but in RETROSPECT, this weekend was a lot of fun, and I definitally got a lot of work done too..let me see if I can remember...
Oh yeaaa..welll, besides being SICK the entire weekend-I think I deifnitally have a sinus INFECTION, but when i went to the nurses's things this afternoon the line was way too long so i gave up-so, im not really treating it..that could be a problem...but friday was fun, we went to see a play, Machinal-it counted for both an experience event AND a forum event (you'll learn all about those extra requirements at Albright) which was awesome. The domino players (our actors) did an amazing job-even though i definitally DID NOT understand the play..anway, yea on saturday night my friends and i went to that maze-ha, that was funny. lets just say it was really really dark and really cold. annd yea, sunday was nice-ohh went to church with my mom-was awesome btw, ihop pancakes..but i had toast?! (i didnt feel good) and yeaa..homework is CRAZY!! but, only ONE WEEK until thanksgiving!! :) cant wait..alright, its 8:56-ive GOTTA GO and watch this game. COME VISIT ALBRIGHT! :)
In His service,
Melissa :)

almost the weekend :)
heyy everyone. hope everyone is doing well. heyy if you're a senior in high school looking at this page, hope your college search is going well. :) get done those apps, they kill you. ha, yea, so albright...what's been going on..
well, this week has been a decent week, not as rough as i thought it would be. i had a religion quiz today-definitally studied for it, and definitally got like a 7/10...but you know, that's life, what can i say? in other news, i have a psychology exam tomorrow, definitally gotta get on the ball studying that-what makes it worse is that i dont feel well, so hopefully i can still tackle all my work. hmm..what else, what else. oh, so i declared my major! I'm now psychology/elementary education, and better yet, after serious contemplation, I'm already planning on doing three years of my grad study at seminary, getting my masters of divinity; then i can be a youth minister or whatever!! :) yeaa, life is good when you know your priorities... :)
in other words, this weekend should be fun, a bunch of my friends and i are going on an 8 mile corn maze!! and we're going out to applebees!! haa. yeaa. oh, and we're seeing a play tomorrow night-machinal-its an experience event-and speaking of experience events, last night i went to the nutritionist that came here-she works for the pittsburg steelers-dude, she was awesome! that's one good thing you gotta love about albright, they've got a litle something for everyone in these experience events. ohhh yea, and now im on board with the "host-stay a night" program here at albright. so is my roomie, jess! so, if you ARE a senior reading this now, well, a senior girl that is, and you're interested in education/psychology or even if you're not, but you wanna spend the night here and see how college life at Albright is-request me, and ill be glad to take you around!! :)
alright folks, that psychology is calling..until next time..
in his spirit,
Melissa :)

mmm..Thursday
Okay, so most amazing thing I did all day? I took a THREE HOUR NAP! It was AMAZING. the rest of the day went pretty well after that-did a little homework, worked out, and collaborated on some things with my roomie..im so glad the weekend is coming up..oh, by the way, marshmellows are good-unless you eat too much..
yea, so this week has been up and down. OHH my boyfriend surprised me on tuesday with a visit, that was awesome and muuuch needed. he brought me my favorite icecream-butter pecan!! :) schoolwork has been a drag, but ive pulled through it, and learned to not let it bother me so much. seriously, planning ahead in college is a great idea, but you cant overwhelm yourself with trying to be toooo ahead. soo, we're all just hanging out right now-even though i took a nap, im pretty tired. hmm. well, ill probably go to bed by a record time of 1130ish..that def. beats my 2am last night. yeaaa..so, this has been a really random blog-but..college life is great-i love my mohner friends, my roommate is amazing, and..yea, life is just right. I thank Jesus :)
livin in the spirit,
loooove melissa
