Visits from home

I do believe that some of the best times when you are in college is when your family comes up to visit you and take you out to eat. It's so awesome getting away from campus food and going somewhere you haven't been in a while. My grandparents are coming today, I think I'll make them take me to Panera Bread. Yum!
After almost 4 months in college you kind of start to miss seeing your family everyday (one thing I never thought would be possible). But here I am, missing my parents, my sister and brother, my two cats and our German Shepherd Zoe. I wouldn't trade college life to go back to high school though, not ever. It's just an odd feeling to finally realize how much seeing family everyday meant to me.

1. Pride and Prejudice
2. Independence Day
3. It's a Wonderful Life
4. A Christmas Carol
5. Goosebumps

A Bad Way to Wake Up in the Morning

It's easy to imagine terrible ways of waking up in the morning, dog jumping on you, you're house is on fire, the covers yanked away, etc. Well how I was woken up on Sunday morning is kind of along those lines.
Recently my boyfriend and I adopted two kittens from the animal shelter in Muncie. They're about 4 and 6 months old now. Usually they're pretty quiet at night, but once the sun comes up they like to play. Sunday morning they were chasing each other around the room and wrestling with each other. This game of chase and tackle led to them running over my forehead. This was not a pleasant experience, and not something I want to have happen again. Not to mention the fact that one of them scratched my forehead with his back nails leaving a three-inch gash. How fun is that, it's not even 8 o'clock in the morning, I'm not even out of bed yet and I'm already bleeding. What fun...... Darn cat, good thing they're so adorable.
