That's right, my friends.  Organizational change started tonight.  Amanda asked me how it went.  My response?  "It doesn't sound terrible, but it doesn't sound great.  You know, the usual."  When people talk about how much they loved school I wonder if they've forgotten about the whole reading til your eyes pop out and studying til your brain is fried part.

Prom Dress for Sale

I'm hoping to sell my prom dress to a good home. :)  It's only been worn once.  I bought it from Norman's Bridal in Lebanon, MO.  It's magenta and gold.  There have been no alterations, so it's still its original length and fit.  Message me if you're interested!

Fall Break

Fall break has been everything I had hoped it would be.  I've spent most days watching tv, sleeping in, hanging with Robert, and running errands at my leisure.  A few of the highlights included:

• Lunch at The Flying Tomato (I got sausage pizza) and dessert at AmyCakes (I got a chocolate caramel pretzel cupake!!!) with Dad
• Shopping with my bridesmaids: They all picked out dresses, and it only took 1 hour and 15 minutes.  It was even more fun and easier than I ever could have hoped.
• A trip to the zoo today with Robert and my parents.  There were Halloween decorations everywhere, and it was pumpkin day - we got to see elephants, deer, wolves, and a hippo eat pumpkins.  It was so cool!
• Dad and Pepaw have been building a kitchen table for Robert and me.  It's going to be amazing.  I'll post pictures of the final project.  It's a 42"x42" square table that seats 4, but then when you put in the two leaves and make it rectangular it can seat 8 people.  It's made of white pine.  The surface of the table is made of 8 slats.  The legs are rectangular.  It's going to look great!  And it'll be cool to be able to tell people that my dad and grandpa made the table for us.

As you can tell, not only is fall break nearly over, but I also completed Seminar in Organizational Communication.  That means I'm 50% finished with my coursework.  Unfortunately, I'm not 50% finished as far as actual time goes.  Right now it's 4.5 months down, 6.5 months to go.  As far as time goes, I'll be 50% of the way finished around Thanksgiving.  Now I'm trying to get pumped up to go back to school.  I'll start a new class Monday - Organizational Change.  Hopefully it will be good!
