Can you believe that I am half way through my second semester of junior year? Ya, me either...
Tomorrow afternoon I am finally flying out to Utah! I am so excited to see my family, especially Granny Polly. I am nervous to fly alone but God is good. Spring Break begins today so I will be spending the entire week out there. It hopefully won't be too cold. I have been checking the weather and it will at least be sunny while I'm there. I am pretty sure I will have some down time so I will be working on a paper that I have due later in the semester. I am writing an essay for my History 300 class. It is on Dr. G. V. Black. He is from Jacksonville, IL and is known as the "Father of Modern Dentistry." How cool is that?! This town is actually pretty cool after you do a little digging. His son, Carl, actually helped with IC's medical school after it first opened in Beecher Hall (here on campus). It was the first medical in the entire state of Illinois. I am kind of nerding out about this essay. It is so interesting to me and easy to research since I am so interested in it.
I also have some very exciting news to share. Myself and three of my friends will be living in a house next year! I have signed my first lease and we will be renting for the first time. It is exiting to learn about this system and actually be able to experience this with great people. I will have my own room and it is a nice size house for college students. I think I am just super excited for the experience. I am lucky that my parents have been so cool and supportive with it all. The girls and I have already started a list of things we have to bring. It is going to be one cute house!
The book I am reading right now isn't all that fun but I am enjoying it. It is a biography about Dr. Black written by his son. I find it very interesting. I have been reading a lot for school this semester and haven't really gotten to choose what books I read.
Ian and I will have been dating an entire year on March 18th. I honestly can't believe that. Looking back, it has been a wonderful year with him. We have learned so much about one another, met and spent time with each other's family, have not had any arguments, and have fallen in love. I knew freshman year that one day he was going to be mine. We will be heading down to St. Louis, MO on the 18th for the day. We want to go to the art museum and find a good sushi place. He will also be heading out to North Carolina with me this summer. I think this is a big step for us and I am excited to see what comes from it. He is such an outdoors person and easy to get along with. I know he will have a great time.
I think that is all I have for now. Hopefully I will be able to post at least once while I am in Utah. Thanks for reading!
