Week 9 and FAMILY!

I'm almost done with my first quarter at Life!! I can't believe it has gone by so fast!! So here is what's going on with my life right now.

Unfortunately, after almost a month with no bugs, I found a cockroach this week! UGH!!! YUCK!! Thankfully, it was obviously poisoned because it could barely move, GROSS, but it's gone now and I haven't seen one since.

School Work:
My presentation that my teacher was really impressed with? Yeah, we got a 110%!! Woo hoo!! I was so happy, she gave us 10 extra credit points for going above and beyond her expectations!! Yay!!

Still no word on the budget meal assignment...and I keep checking everyday, SO annoying. Hopefully I did well! Also, I turned in a psychology paper and no word on that either. We don't have class this week, but our final is on Thursday. My final for my nutrition class is Wednesday, the 18th. Then I come home on the 19th!! Yay!!

On Friday it was the triplets 21st birthday and I was so bummed I couldn't be there, but I will make up for it when I come home! I went to bed early and woke up on Saturday morning to my phone ringing and Uncle Zig called me and said that he and his family were coming to Atlanta to go shopping and they wanted to visit me and go out for dinner! I was SO excited because I was getting very bored in my apartment and lonely for my family.

They came and picked me up, and they all got out of the car and gave me a huge hug and we went out for dinner. Here is me and Zig at dinner last night. We went to an Indian restaurant in an area called Little Five Points.

                           

 

Then after dinner they dropped me off at my place and went back to their hotel. Today they picked me up and we went to the High Museum of Art, Atlanta. We went to two different exhibits. One was all about photography and the other was called the wild west and had a bunch of pictures of Indians. It was so cool to hear Zig talk about every single photograph. He knew almost every single photographer and explained every single picture and what they were thinking about when they took that picture. Here are some pictures I took from the museum.

After the museum, we went to Costco so they could buy some stuff and I got to use their card and get some stuff too! We just had dinner at Marietta Diner, and now they are driving back to Savannah. Here we are eating dessert at the diner. Left to Right: Seaborne (12), Heron (9), Me, Uncle Zig, and his wife Kate.



It was so nice to have family here. I was just so happy that they came down here and I got to see them. It really helped me feel like I'm not alone and really good to have family so close. I'm just so grateful that they thought of me on their trip to Atlanta. They told me that the next time they come to Atlanta they will let me know so we can hang out. Also, when I get another break (after Christmas) I'm going to go visit them in Savannah.

Anyway, I'm going to go study for my finals now and stare at my Christmas tree. Current countdown to home: 11 days!!
