I moved

Beauregard (1998-2008)

Just under ten years ago, when I was ten years old, my family moved from Denver to Oklahoma City. My parents had promised my brother and I that the first major mission after we moved would be to get a dog. My mom and I had gone one day to pick out the perfect basset hound from a family, however when we got there they were no where to be found. I was not very happy I wanted a dog. The next day my parents told us they were going to a meeting and they would be home later. When they got home the said "T'auna come here we have a surprise" I walked out of my room and running towards me, ears dragging the floor came Beauregard.
I had this dog for ten years, ten years of him running and jumping on me when I came in the door, ten years of cleaning up the trash after its been drug around the room. The dog was stubborn and had some issues but I loved him. On Monday my parents took him to put him down he had cancer and I am glad that he is not suffering him. But going home will not be the same with out him greating me at the door.

the first week back

As I look at my fall semester I wonder what in the world am I thinking... I am taking 17 hours, working two on campus jobs (one is a grading position). And now the pledging process is about to begin. Maybe I'm crazy but I think I have a busy semester ahead of me.

The first week went really well, got through all my classes and understood most of what was going on in them. I love all my professors they are great and I have some wonderful friends that are now on campus that I have been hanging out with. Well its getting late maybe ill head to bed soon! hope all is well in your lives!

Back in the Swing of things!

So I am home, I know I havn't really blogged since I got back. The trip home was nice and however long it was, it was still fun. I was very glad to be home however.

Since I have been back, I have been working and getting ready for the new school year to start. There are so many people back on campus that it makes me happy to be on campus once again.
I have moved all of my stuff into my dorm and it is very cool to finally be back on campus(although i am not living in my dorm yet). Jacquie and I are in Barret 3C8 and it is finally coming together.

I am ready for classes to start as weird as that sounds but I am ready for everything to get back to normal and not feel like I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Hope all is well in your lives! Have a great week! God Bless.

Im sitting here eating a bbq chicken panini from La Parisien, its my new favorite sandwich shop, i have eaten there almost ten times this month. I have finished all of my papers that are due next week.. (there are 6 of them) and so I get to enjoy my last few days here. The only things I have left to do for my classes are my two drawings, which I had originally planned to do today, but alas it is a rainy day and a great day for laying around in my new Oxford sweats and a T-shirt. I also have a bit of reading left to do but other than that I am done! It is hard to believe that in less than a week I will be back in the 100 degree weather in Texas. I do miss every one there and I am ready to come home, but I really love it here and Im not quite ready to leave it yet. I have made some great friendships with the people on this trip and thinking about not getting to see some of the every day.. or see some of them till december (because they are staying for the semester) makes it really hard to think about leaving.

This week I didn't really do much of anything. On tuesday we took a tour of Christ Church, which is where the Harry Potter movies were filmed so that was pretty cool. Then Wednesday we walked for an hour through the beautiful Port Meadow down to a place called the trout where the professors took us for dinner and wonderful deserts. Yesterday I worked on papers for most of the day, and enjoyed so 42 with friends last night. I hope you all have a blessed weekend! I will see you all soon!

my desert that i had

One week left

We only have one week left here. It is kind of a sad though when I actually sit down to think about it. I don't really want to leave, I have some of the best friends from this trip and I enjoy being with them. I also miss home though and I am excited to see all the friends at home and see my family! Ok now I have to get back to class... cause umm thats what is starting in 3 min

Lincoln was amazing. I had a lot of fun, we got to go see the castle and the cathedral there and spent some good quality time with aunt Nina. Im very tired its been a long week, but I have gotten a lot done this weekend including 2 papers, all of my reading for Monday, and my project proposal.

Not really much else to say, we went punting and played Ultimate on Wednesday and that was a lot of fun! Just under two weeks left here and So much left to do! I will try to update this more often then I have been. Miss you all!
