FINALLY HOME!
WOW, i cant believe it..i am OFFICIALLY done my first semester at college! the time has gone by soooo fast, and it is incredible how much of a different person i am than 5 months ago!! im finally at home now, as i will be for a month-until next semester starts up..i am soo relieved to have some time off, but i am so upset that i wont be seeing my friends for so long!!
so, sorry it took me so long to write again in this thing. studying for finals and getting things ready for the end of the semester just really took up a lot of time. haha, so finals..well, im so glad they're over!! lol., actually. they werent as bad as i thought-ha, ill probably be saying something DIFFERENT when i get my grades back..no, not really..you see, the weekend BEFORE finals was by birthday weekend, i turned 19-yaay me-so, i didnt do much studying..instead, i worked my studying around that time-see, im the smart college student, lol, and things worked out great! my birthday here was amazing-we all woke up to a two hour delay-and because of that all three of my classes ended up being cancelled. i love snow, so the snow was a PERFECT present for my birthday! :) later that night i ended up going out to a place called peddler's villilage with my boyfriend. on saturday, ha, i was planning on coming back home, but i ended up passing out when giving blood at my church's blood drive, so i ended up staying home then too..then on sunday morning, my dad and i went back down to school to pick up some friends of mine and the four of us-dana, eric, adam, and i went to the eagles game. we had sooo much fun, i loved it! so, after a fun-filled weekend, i spent mondday doing some "hardcore" studying for finals and writing my final english paper-tuesday was the same, i had to study for two finals on wednesday..and after i finished my french final on wed, u dont know HOW relieved i felt! it was so nice on wed night because i got to spend a night at school without having to worry about doing any work! it was amazing!
so now im at home-i actually ended up coming home early because my mom was worried about the snow and all-and after unpacking and everything, well..i am just SOOO BORED..ahh i cant handle it! lol. so, im gonna have to definitally find some work to do and all. alright, i should really get out of here, ive been on this computer waay too long. hey, if i dont write for awhile, everyone have a great break, happy holidays! God Bless!
oh, and if you're curious, look up proverbs 3:5-6..it helped me tremendously throughout this week. :)
in the spirit,
Melissa :)

JINGLE BELL, JINGLE BELL, JINGLE BELL ROCK!
heyyyy everyone! ahhh i love school so much!! and i LOVE CHRISTMAS! this is sooo my favorite time of the year. stress is high-this week and next week are TERRIBLE in terms of the work load, but im sitting here listening to christmas songs with our christmas lights on and everything and i simply LOVE IT! really, im gonna miss my mohners (friends in my dorm-we live in Mohn Hall, so we call ourselves the mohners) so much!!
Yea, that's pretty much all i wanted to blog. actually, i lied. this week has been crazy. i have been doing work nonstop since i dont remember when-and you know, it wont end until finals are over. THERE IS LESS THAN A WEEK UNTIL MY BIRTHDAY!! ITS FRIDAY DECEMBER 9TH! im sooooo excited!! and, its supposed to snow tonight..haha, it snowed a little on thursday night-when it did, i ran outside, danced around in my shorts, teeshirt, and FLIPFLOPS!! heh, college life rules. ohh wednesday night was so great, we had ACF (Albright Christian Fellowship) and some of my friends from the dorm came, including my roomie Jess and my other friends Jess and Dana-i was soo proud of them, it was just so nice for them to come and see just how great of a group ACF is. Seriously though, ACF is something amazing that only Albright has-I am so blessed to have fellowship with them. So, if you're a Christian and you're looking for a school with a strong bilble study group...there's another plus for Albright! :) I'm really beginning to discover just how amazing people here at Albright are...and the amazing opportunities that exist at Albright and in Reading. I've been able to do some really neat volunteer work here, and it has just been a blessing..working with kids in the city, tutoring..today I will be working in a shelter home, its truly amazing. and today i went to a meeting for the NEW FITNESS/WELLNESS FACILITY-its gonna be soooo GREAT!!! Im so excited for it to begin..ohh i love my school..I LOVE ALBRIGHT!! :) :)
hah, speaking of LOVE, ive got a paper to finish...( i dont really love the paper, u definitally know i had to be kidding, right?)
in step with His Spirit,
Melissa :)
