Week 5

This week has been very boring! I feel like I haven't done much of anything! It's probably since there were so many tests last week, that nothing really happened in school this week!

I can't believe I have another test THIS WEEK on Thursday because I feel like it's too early for that! I guess that's what happens when your on a quarter system and not a semester system! Everything goes SOOO fast!!

In case you were wondering about the test I didn't find out about last week, I FINALLY found out, I got a B. Yay! So that was 2 A's and 1 B and then this past Friday I got another A on another test I had!
So happy to have everything going well in school because I have never felt like a great student. I guess since I'm actually interested in learning all of this stuff, that probably is what is the big difference is. I always have felt like school is something I just "had to get done" whereas now, yes, I still need to "get it done," but I'm actually enjoying getting it done.

On Saturday, I went to a church that I had already been to on Sunday, but on Saturdays they have a contemporary service with a band then. I really liked it, and I'm probably going to go there next Saturday.
I've been wanting to find a martini bar, so I googled martinis and Marietta. I found a bar not too far away. So after I was done with church, I went and checked it out. An hour later, Amanda and Adam joined me for drinks! Here's a picture of me and Amanda out on the town!



Anyway, 16 days on the countdown until I come home for Thanksgiving! I was very homesick this week. The countdown is getting so close to coming home and it's making it very hard for me to not stop thinking about coming home. (Speaking of homesickness, shout-out to Sara and all of her friends in Australia praying for me!)  I miss my family so much, and I can't wait to go home!! That being said, I am doing my best to stay focused on school and not take for granted this incredible opportunity that I have! Well, I better go to bed so I can get up for class tomorrow!!

  1. I am so proud of you Amanda! It is not easy to move so far away from everything you know and love!! You are growing into an independent woman and that is awesome to see. I am glad you found a church you like. We can't wait for your Thanksgiving visit!! Love you,
    Mom
