HA! So I am now officially a college student, and I am LOVING it! I've had three out of my 5 classes so far, and they have gone great! Looking forward in the syllabus, they don't look very hard either. Challenging, thought provoking and lots of work, but not hard.
The first classes I had were yesterday. In Intermediate Algebra, we learned about integers, real numbers, order of operations and stuff like that. Elementary stuff...like literally! My sister is doing harder algebra! However, the professor said it was basically a repeat of Algebra 2, so I should be fine! The only thing I'm worried about is doing my math work in word processor. It takes more than twice as long!
My second class yesterday, English, was interesting. My professor is a little strange, and he talks like he's from the 1700s! He also has some very strong pet peeves and is very strict. I think it'll be an okay class though. I love english! I found our first reading, on machiavelli, to be very interesting.
My third class, which was today, is Intro to Weather and Climate. It's basically what I learned in my meteorology class in High School...except it's most likely more in depth and more work. I love my professor though and I already have a basic grasp of the concepts, so I should be fine in that class too! However, I'm the only freshman...:/
So that's the lowdown on what I have done so far at college, and I have a lot more to come! I can't wait until Crown! I have a feeling it will be a lot more challenging to manage my time there, but I can't wait to get away!

Animals...
Animals, animals....They can make life so interesting! As most of you know, I have 5 cats, and 2 bunnies. But as of right now, it looks like we only have 4 cats and we now have 4 bunnies.
CATS
So, for three months, Emmett, and Clarabelle have been living up here in Rhinelander, and Shadow, Cloud, and Edward have been living in Rapids. However, our Rapids house sold so we ended up moving the three cats from Rapids up to Rhinelander the day before yesterday. The first night, the cats were all fighting so we had to keep Shadow in the bathroom of the camper. In the middle of the night, Emmett decided to attack one of the cats and a huge fight broke out, scaring Cloudy and making her relieve herself from both ends at the same time. My mom called my dad to come out to the camper to clean her up, and she ended up getting out and running away.
The next morning, Shadow was cowering behind the camper toilet like he had been all night, so we decided to try and let him outside. Big mistake. He then took off and ran into the woods and hid. We haven't seen him since.
The good news is, last night when I was coming out from the house, I found Cloud sneaking through the garden and we got her back. The bad news is, there is still no trace of Shadow. Shadow is my favorite cat and I really hope and pray he comes back soon! He was out in a hail storm today, but he has survived a tornado so I'm not real worried about that.
BUNNIES
So that's what is up with the cats, but here is the new scoop on the bunnies.
My mom left to go pick Haley up from Lake Ellen camp where she had been staying with Becca to go to the fair, and I guess Haley begged my mom to take these two bunnies home. The person that was in charge of them was going to let them out into the wild, and Haley new that a domestic rabbit wouldn't be able to survive the wild. So my mom agreed and they came back with two beautiful rabbits. From what we can tell they are both boys, and we are going to rename them. One is gray, and the other is black.
Haley built an outdoor rabbit pen a while back and that's where they are staying for the moment. Supposedly they will only be here for a few days, but we will see. Haley has been trying to contact the Rhinelander Animal shelter to send them there for someone from Appleton to pick up and foster.
So that is the scoop about my animal situation, and my animals have pretty much consumed my entire day. I am starting college tomorrow, so my next post should be interesting. I am really excited!

TODAY
Wow! My last post was just about exactly a year ago. At that point in time, I was starting my first year at a public school. This year at this time, I am starting my freshman year of college. I will be taking 5 classes this semester at Nicolet,Technical College in Rhinelander where my family just moved. I am really excited to start, but even more anxious to head to Crown College in January!
Since I haven't posted in a year, just a quick update. An overwhelming amount of things have happened over the past year and I have gone through SO much and many trials and tests in my faith. But, I have only grown stronger and been renewed by my savior Jesus Christ! The reason I fell away from this blog was because it wasn't safe for me to put anything out on the internet. However, everything has passed over and I have been able to catch up on life from where I left off.
So, since I have posted, I have made MANY new friends, I have done MANY new things, and so many things have changed. Instead of going through all of these things, I am just gonna start where I am and go from there!
TODAY 9/2/12
Today was the first Sunday that my new pastor at my new church spoke. He is such a good speaker, and I am so blessed to be part of this new season at Three Lakes Evangelical Free Church.
Today was also very stressful, because we moved up all of the cats last night. Since it had been a few months since Emmett had seen the three we brought up, and since Shadow had seen Emmett and Clara, things got a little heated. We ended up with only three cats for most of the day until one came back, and Shadow is still missing. I pray that he will come back.
Today I did a whole lotta nothin...I wasn't feeling good.
Today was also a very lonely day. I miss my friends! I can't wait to start college so I can make some friends.
So yeah, that basically sums up this Sunday, but hopefully I will be back tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next day.....etc., except for Mondays. I have 8hrs of classes on Mondays so don't expect me to post! HA!
