Another update

Sorry guys for the long time since the last post. There has been a lot going so I haven't gotten a chance to really write on here. So sorry about that and if you don't care then pretend you do and leave me comments. I like them.

So anyway for the update. Fall break was nice, I was able to go home which was nice. Oh I dont think I told you guys about suprising Mom for her birthday. Well as many of you were involved in my 16th suprise most of you all were involved/knew about my suprise plan for mom. I went home on the 5th which is her birthday and met her and Dad in the parking lot of Outback. She had NO IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!! Anywho we ended up going to get pizza for dinner instead of Outback but nonetheless we were together. She didnt cry. But she did almost cry when she got the happy birthday message on her work answering machine that said I was sorry I wouldnt be able to see her for her birthday! It was GREAT!!!!

So fall break I went home and Mom and I went to Crossville for the weekend and I ended up pretty sick on Sunday and sort of on Monday. I was able to do some scrapbooking which was fun since I havent ever done it before and I actually had some pretty good pages come from it. Tuesday I applied for a passport before leaving to come back up to JC. I got it back in less than 2 weeks! I am now free to travel throughout the world. Pretty cool huh!

The weekend after Fall Break the Quirantes came up for Homecoming. I was a Quirante for the weekend which was pretty fun. Homecoming activities were pretty lame but it was nice to see Christie since I had not seen her since August.

Then we spent the next weekend resting from the last weekend. We planned to go to the Step Show on Saturday night but Ryan didnt want to go and he didnt want us to go alone so we rested instead. I was sick most of last week as was Ryan. Last Monday night we had trick or treaters come through the dorm. We had 13 kids but over 115 bags of candy. Any ideas on how to get rid of the bags are welcome.

This weekend I went to Boone, NC for the TIMBER conference with the rest of my TEQB, QB, Symbiosis, whatever I decide to call it at the time buddies. It was way less than exciting but we presented and got a fantastic long sleeve tshirt out of the deal. Ok so this shirt. Jillian told me I am never allowed to wear it in public except next Halloween when I will get to have a pocket protector, suspenders, and tape on my glasses. Ryan said it is worse than an " I was just elected president of the chess club" tshirt. I dont know I think in the right places it can be fun. Like at a math biology conference. Here is a picture. Enjoy.The back is one of our professor's ways of calling us QBs for Quantitative Biology. The back is math and Biology going hand in hand. I know we are such cool people! You wish you could be cool like us. Well my family is coming up this weekend so it will be busy again. That about has you all caught up. Until next time hope all is well!!!!!
