Keep pushing through
Once again, my weeks have been busy! I am always amazed when I stop to think at how fast the days go by. The semester is almost over! I think we have around one month left until finals. Crazy! My classes are still going strong. I have a Spanish test and quiz this week. I have a couple projects/papers due next week. I continue to study and read a lot, but I make plenty of time for fun!

Last Wednesday, I went to the Performing Arts Series Estonia National Symphony with my friend Alicia and her parents. It was very impressive!

Shane Claiborne was on campus last week. He has written a couple books. He talked at two chapels, downtown Goshen, and at a question and answer session, and I really enjoyed hearing what he had to say. He will be speaking at the Mennonite convention this summer.

Thursday evening I had an RA activity. We ate pizza rolls, fruits pizza, and pretzels and watched a movie! It was fun, but I had trouble keeping my eyes open!

On Friday, I planned a floor activity with a guys floor. We ate ice cream sundaes and watched a movie! It was fun! On Saturday evening, my friends and I went to see Goshen Hich School' production of Beauty and the Beast. I enjoyed it a lot and was very impressed with the singing, acting, set, and special effects!

I have been attending East Goshen Mennonite Church every Sunday, so I went there yesterday. They had a meal for college students afterwards. In the afternoon, I went outside and worked as much as I could on homework. It was a beautiful day out! I am excited for Easter in two weeks because I will be going home. It's always nice to get away every once in awhile and take a break!

Spring Is Coming!
What a beautiful day it is today! Spring weather always makes everyone happier!!

I've continued to stay busy! First off, Oprah was SO much fun! I went with three friends. We didn't win anything, but had a great time in Chicago! Dr.Oz was on talking about living a long life. Last Friday was beautiful out, so two friends and I went rollerblading. After wards, some of us watched a movie. Last Saturday, some friends and I went to the International Student Coffeehouse. I was very impressed with the show! Students danced, sang, and performed skits. This week went fast, thankfully! I had a quiz and test in Spanish, two presentations, and a PE lesson to teach. It was a busy week!

I was glad it was the weekend, by the time Friday rolled around. And what a wonderful weekend it was! I didn't have too much homework, so that was nice. On Friday, a group of friends and I went to an Hour After, a concert performed by students on campus. It was wonderful! Last night, I went to the Goshen College choir concert, and once again was impressed with the talent we have here. We went to Steak N'Shake afterwards. Today, I went to a Catholic Mass that was in Spanish. It was interesting! Tonight I have an RA meeting, meal, and then we are going bowling! I am looking forward to that. It's crazy to think that I will only be an RA for about one more month! Wow! Time sure does go by fast!

And We're Back Again!
"Spring" break came and went fast! I went home to Illinois, and I had a wonderful and relaxing time! I was able to be home for my sister's last half-time dance at the basketball game. I saw my best friend Jennifer many times, and we had a lot of fun watching movie and catching up. I played church volleyball and went to my home church, which is always nice. During the week, I helped in a kindergarten classroom. I really enjoyed that! I was able to see some other high school friends and go to regional high school basketball games, which were fun! I went shopping and out to eat with my family and had many delicious home-cooked meals! The week went fast, and I'm trying to get back into the swing of school again. I'm looking forward to Thursday though because three of my friends and I are going to see Oprah in Chicago!! I'll make sure to write about that next time.
