Time to Study

Spring Break has come and gone, so now it's time to hit the books. As a matter of fact, I will be hitting the books pretty hard this week. I have 5 tests and 2 quizzes all within 7 days . . . I am praying for strength, commitment . . . .and sanity. If I stay at school this weekend, I will be distracted with friends and the temptation to do everything BUT study, so I decided that I would solve that problem by going home. If I am at home with my books, I can study without distraction. . . or at least let's hope so.

Spring Break 2009

Spring Break 09 was really great. I went to the beach with some friends. A close friend of mine has a condo at Cherry Grove near North Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. She gave me an incredible deal so some friends and I left for the beach on Sunday after church and came back the following Saturday. While we were there I had the opportunity to go to the Dixie Stampede for the first time, and I must say, it was a pretty awesome experience. The weather was pretty nice for the first three days we were there, but on Thursday it got cold and windy, so we stayed around the condo and went to Broadway at the Beach. It was really nice to get away from the stress of school for a while.

Spring Break

Spring Break is finally here. Some friends and I will be leaving on Sunday afternoon after church for the Beach. We are going to be staying in North Myrtle. The weather is supposed to be great. . . guess I'm going from one extreme to the other - snow one week, and beach the next! Gotta love it! :)

Snow Day

Gardner-Webb is in Boiling Springs. . . . and Boiling Springs never gets snow - we are in the Isothermal Belt. To be honest, when the weathermen predict snow, we all laugh. On Sunday, it rained pretty steadily all day long, and the temperature fluctuated. None of us believed that it would snow. On Sunday evening I was out to dinner at a local mexican restaurant, Mi Pueblito, with some friends when one of them yelled "it's snowing!!" We all sat there in amazement! I had ridden with my friends to the restaurant, and the girl who had driven threw me the keys and told me to drive. . .so here I am driving a car that doesn't belong to me in the snow. GWU initially put us on a two our delay, but around 11:30 they cancelled all Monday classes. Not only did it snow. . . but it snowed 7 inches!!
