Today is my favorite day of the week. Saturday! Actually, it is only my favorite day when it falls on a day off. Ha! I slept in today which was very much needed. After lunch, I made a trip back to the workout room-- it was nice to see it again. I have been out of the game for a while and I was starting to get to that couch potato stage. They have a really nice workout room here and I should take advantage of it!
I updated a lot of my blogs today so that they will meet the qualifications of the trip journals we have to turn in. So-- if you are bored and want to check out the ones that deal with sites, I added a little more information.
A few of us girls watched a chick flick tonight and then we went downstairs for pizza! Several of the group members left for different occasions so those of us left got to enjoy more pizza! Harding is playing Henderson State back home and it is a big televised game-- Captain put it on the big screen. I wish I was there with the Rhodes Rowdies, but I'm glad I'll atleast know the outcome. I'm fixing to go down and watch the rest of it! :-)
I think the movie chosen for tonight is "Monsters Inc." Finally-- a victory! I love cute animated films! Tomorrow is Sunday, which means we will head into Athens for a little while before church. The weather was really nice today and I hope it keeps up. The snow was fun, but there is only so much of it I can take. I hope you enjoyed my travel updates-- I feel like I can never quite convey how amazing they are! Our next trip is to Delphi and other parts of northern Greece. Can't wait! :-) Each trip brings new adventures and each trip we get a new roommate. It gives me a chance to get to know different girls a little better.
I am already having "things will be all different when I get back" dreams. I dreamed about the James' bible study in Searcy that I have gone to since freshman year. Instead of having their cute little terriors, they got rid of them and got two huge sheepdogs. I walked in and everyone kind of looked at me like they didn't know who I was. (I usually get a big greeting from everyone) All the couples that went there had switched partners and a lot of the familiar faces were gone. I remember feeling out of the loop when I woke up. I am starting to realize that I need to accept change; some of it may actually be for the better. I have realized that people can't put their life on hold just because I am not ready to change. People will get married. People will move houses. I will grow up and eventually get a job. Yes, I am one of those people that tries to interpret my own dreams. I always have these when I know big changes are coming up in my life-- and I always dream I have a baby when I know I'm facing new responsibilities. (I have given birth in dreams a few times here..scary..) What do ya'll think? Interpretations are welcome. Haha.
Well, I know this entry was just a rambling session, but I try to keep this updated or I will fall away-- much like the lack of working out. I love you all and think of you often. I also got a neat comment from my senior high English teacher, Mrs. Hamilton! If you read this again Mrs. H-- thanks for the comment! It made my day-- you had a big influence on my love for writing!
Love ya'll! Take care!

Hi Sweetie - I'm finally responding in a timely manner, but for some reason the timer on this doesn't record the correct time. Anyway, my only comments about your dreams would be this: as I understand it, dreams do reveal a part of our thoughts or concerns that are often not voiced. So, perhaps subconsciously you are worrying about the changes that will have occurred or will occur before you return. Easier said than done - I would just say, don't expect things to be the same. That prevents setting yourself up for disappointment & makes the changes easier to accept. You always seem to adapt - more gracefully than you'd admit - so I expect you will rise to the occasion whatever it might be. I'm just so glad you have had the experiences you have had this semester & that you have the marvelous talent of writing about it for the rest of us to enjoy! I didn't get to see the game today. (Republican meeting in Conway) But, Pawpaw watched & Ryan & Chelsea & friends went. It was a pretty big deal over here - national tv, etc. We miss you! Hope this coming week will be a great one for you! Love, Mimi
To ease your fears, things haven't changed much at the James' Bible study, except for the fact that you and the other overseas-ites are not there. There are a couple of new folks, and all the couples are still with the same people. No worries there. Have fun in G-Country
