Well, I am taking a break from this crazy frenzy of studying to write. I have had 2 big tests already and I have 2 remaining. Aagh! When you get done with one, you have enough time to take a deep breath and get started on the next study guide. I can't help but daydream off into island bliss, awaiting our upcoming adventure. I think the plan is to leave Friday morning really early. Not crazy about the morning wake-up call, but we can sleep on the bus. It is 5 girls and 2 boys going on this little adventure. Yeah, the fellas are a little outnumbered, but I think they can handle it. :-) Other than me, of course, it's: Lauren, Lacey, Alana, Ashley, Ben and Jake. Jake is our little travel agent-- he thrives on finding hotels and spots and booking things. He will be so busy planning while there that the whole sea of estrogen around him shouldn't phase him. If I had one word to describe Ben it would be "chill." He is so calm and never raises his voice. I think if he ever yelled at me I would cry-- because it would mean that I had really done something over the top. I think he will take everything in stride.
We have our big Humanities 270 test tonight-- which is the killer class here. Afterwards, though, we always get dessert as a peace offering. People stomp out of the classroom until they see banana splits on the table-- we are pacified for about 30 minutes before someone goes, "Can you believe that short answer question! That was ridiculous!" Then, the banana split high is gone and we moan about our lives.
I always like to point out when a small blessing happens in my life and today it was because I got a message on facebook from Mrs. Phyllis Bachelor! I gave her my blog address, so if you're reading this, hey! :-) It has been so long since we've caught up-- and I got a little teary that I finally got the chance to!
Better get back to work. Blah-de-blah-de-blah! Love ya'll!

Hey, Pawpaw-- forgot to mention in the actual blog-- the two people are the Brenley's-- they have lived in Greece before and have been in Russia (I think) the past few years as missionaries. They know a lot of languages and have had some kids come through Harding.
Mmmm...I wish I could have a banana split after tests here at HUS...they don't feel like it's that good an idea here, I guess. Anyway, I hope you're having a great time, and it sounds like you are. Talk to you later! Have fun!
Ash,
I wish we were going to the island with you. It sounds dreamy. But, we will go to Branson some during Spring break. Also, your Dad, Kelsey, and Kayci will be down Sat. to run the Little Rock Marathon as team Sun. So sorry we missed your call. Somehow we did not hear the phone ring, and the message was not posted until later in the day. Do try again. Maybe aroung 8:30 would be better as 8:00 is kinda crazy with Dana leaving for work. Have fun, forget the test. You will always have test, but not always have Greece!
Love, Paw-Paw :-)))))))
Hi Sweetie - Oh how I hate that we missed your call! I have the phone rings set low so they don't disturb Dakota when she sleeps, but then we miss a few now & then if she's up & the noise level is up. But, it was great to hear your voice! If I was a millionaire I'd fly us all over there to join you on that island! Sounds great, honey, & I hope it's all that you want it to be.....& beyond! We just had our last Home Bible Study tonight until after Spring Break. Pawpaw & I are looking forward to "chilling" in Branson. Friday, though, we are going over to Memphis with Dana & Dakota to see Noot. She is dog-sitting while Sam & Dixie & Lee are in Hawaii for a week. She has started to renege again about moving to Memphis. Take care, Miss World Traveler. I look forward to the report on your next adventure. I hope your tests went well. Love, Mimi
