I see color with my eyes shut.

Back to reality.  Classes started on Tuesday and while it's refreshing to have a set schedule yet again, it was quite a shock getting my body out of the carefree nature of break and back to a schedule where going to bed at 5 AM and waking up at 1 PM is simply not feasible.  

Break in and of itself was quite enjoyable.  Most of my time was spent the male gender holding meetings of Late-Night Sled Club, bowling, playing video games, going to movies, watching Millionaire Matchmaker and My Big Redneck Wedding at Marc's house and eating his food, and smoking hookah.

This semester is nice, albeit busy already.  Monday, Wednesday, and Friday consist of 4 straight hours of class from 10-2, and work from 230-6.  Starting next week, Monday nights will consist of final edits for the Spectrum, and Wednesday nights Lambda Pi Eta meets.  It's my goal to be a better member this semester and actually attend more than one meeting.  Tuesdays and Thursdays are a little more lax as I only have class from 10-1215 and then work from 230-6.  The way I see it, this is my last semester to actually have fun.  Next year will consist of a schedule full of journalism/comm. management classes, an internship, hopefully a TA position with Dr. Nelson, my capstone class, taking the GRE and applying for grad schools.

It seems like a lot of people left for Christmas Break being 20, and came back to school magically 21.

Anyone looking for papers, college essays, etc. to be edited can send them as an attachment to me at emily.henrikson.1@ndsu.edu, and I will gladly edit your work and offer suggestions.  I honestly get a natural high from correcting poor grammar and fixing sentence structure.

I like to think that I could easily take Chelsea Handler's place when she dies or retires, whichever comes first.

I absolutely love Kate Miller-Heidke.  Currently my favorite female singer/songwriter.
