Gettysburg

I know it's been i long time since I've done this. I can't believe how time flies. I saw Frankie's trip to New York though, and it instilled a new "blogger fever" in me.
Anyway, I finally decided I needed to start doing some things while I was out here, or I was going to be home and not done one thing. So I went to Gettysburg. It was a nice start on my list of little adventures. My roomate, Katie, one of classmates, and I drove down one Sat. We saw the visitors center and headed out to see the battle fields. Holy Moly, it was kind of amazing just how vast the area was. One day was plenty for me, just in case anyone decided to make a trip out of it after my elaborate and detailed description. It was pretty cool to see and to say I've done that. Just for an update. . . . school is good. It's hard. I'ts hard to stay focused especially at a pace like this. I'm tired, I'm not gonna lie. I'm already looking forward to X-mas. But thats ok. I heard once "it's the hard that makes it great" :)

I was helping Abe and his buddy figure it all out. They looked confused. So I was showing them the way

Gettysburg

This is the Gettysburg Address. If anybody pronounced in Get-ees-burg like I did, we were mistaken as I quickly learned. Apparently it's pronounced Get-iss-burg. I'm not sure if I really believe that, but that's what the "locals" say.

I hope you never have to "Dew" this

So here is the real reason for my post...... I have continually been telling people how busy I am. I'm sure they think, ya, well so am I, which they probably are. However, I had an experience today that truly explains my situation. I bought a new pack of pens 2 weeks ago for school. I have been using the same pen for 2 weeks. I don't actually take notes with these pens because I take notes in class on my computer. However, I do use them to make note cards with, so I can study. Today, my pen that I bought 2 weeks ago.... ran out. Yes, it's true, it RAN OUT! I have never in my entire life had a pen run out me, let alone in 2 weeks. I believe this is truly an amazing feat. I know what you're thinking though ... I sure hope Wendy's hand is ok. Well, don't you worry, I ice at night, stretch in the morning and before I go to bed. FALSE. But that would be funny if I really did do that.

these are just some pics of my room. I know it's messy, but that is the least of my worries at this point.
