The Calm After the Storm

So I've been meaning to post something about Union since the tornado hit on Tuesday night. However, I simply couldn't find the words. I'm still in shock over what happend. It is a miracle that everyone survived and I'm very grateful that those who were in critical condition are now doing better.

Sara and I were talking last night about how seeing these pictures brought back so many memories. For instance, when I see pictures of Jelks I think of my Junior year when Sara and I tore off the door frame of another roomates room. When I see Patton I think of huddling in the bathroom during another Tornado. When I see Jones I think of the fall of my Senior year and how much time I spent in Jones 1 trying to hide from certain people.

Union was a strange place for me filled now with bitter-sweet memories. I'm grateful for the friendships I made there and for the ones that continue to grow. My thoughts are going out to all of the students, faculty and staff there who are now trying to rebuild their lives. One thing I do know is that in typical Union style, they will rebuild together.

Embarrassing/Funny Story

I had something pretty embarrassing/funny happen to me this week. First of all, after living in New York for 2.5 years now, my once fairly thick southern accent is gone. I do have my moments where it comes back but for the most part it no longer exists. I do miss it though!

Back to the embarrassing/funny story. I was up late last Sunday night/Monday morning trying to cram for my Anatomy and Physiology II test. I turned on my T.V. and was flipping channels when I came across Great American Country Television (GACTV). Not only had I found a country music televison channel, but it happend to be the Sunday night Tim McGraw video hour!

Now comes the embarrassing part-I knew all the words! I sat in my bed and sang along with Tim for the whole hour! The next thing I know my southern accent had reappeard. Needless to say, when I arrived to school on Monday, I confused alot of people.

All Work And No Play

This has become the theme of my life lately. I feel as though I have no time to do anything! With school and work, my life has become so dull! I guess I just needed some time to complain. I have two test this week and another two next week. Being an adult is highly overrated!

Second Attempt

So, this is my second attempt at the whole blog thing. I hope this time I will be more dedicated to actually blogging!
