This past weekend was typical and much like the other weekends I've experienced in Marion, Alabama. I had a fun time at the bonfire Friday night! We roasted marsh mellows and drank hot chocolate... yum! A group of us went to the cemetery! Paranormal activity has been reported in the past, but unfortunately we didn't see anything creepy that night. Later on (12 o'clock midnight) we girls made our way back to the dorm with absolutely no intention of going to sleep. My suitemates and I played board games and laughed... very loudly!

     On Saturday morning, I got up early and helped out at the IHSA horse show. Judson College was hosting the event and I was put in charge of capturing the occasion via camcorder. Oh! Very funny story... so on Tuesday I was on my way to the Jewett building for Judson's Next Top Model... I was asked to be a judge. Fearing the probability of being late, I quickly flew through the front doors of the dorm and nearly ran over the cutest dog I've ever seen! "Charlie" is such a sweetheart! He is a black Labrador and very loyal. He follows me around campus and waits outside for me until class is over. I am really sad that I have to leave him all alone during the Thanksgiving break. I am planning on filling a big bowl with dog food... hopefully Charlie will survive! I am praying that he doesn't run off during the break because I really want to keep him!

     I am so excited to be spending the Thanksgiving break with family in Tennessee! But before I start thinking about the holidays, I need to stay focused on this present week. My history paper is due and I need to work at least seven hours out at the barn or I am going to be in trouble. My classes are okay... I am looking forward to next semester. A new class schedule is much needed at this point! Well, talk to you later.
