my blogging = epic failure.

So.....I have NOT kept up with this at all lately.  It's been so busy!  I've been going to our Lancaster plant for work 2-3 days a week.  Nice change of pace and the days go fast there, but I'm really realllllly getting tired of the long drive back and forth.
Almost to the halfway point of my anatomy class.  It's tough keeping up with an accelerated class.  I feel like I'm not really learning a lot, just little bits here and there, and the rest of the time is spent trying to just make sure I complete all the assignments on time.  Oh well.  At least I'm learning a bit!  After this one is over in mid October, I move on to A&P part 2.  Thennnnn once that is finished, moving on the the dietetic program (if all goes right with scheduling!).  Has anyone else completed a lot of on-line distance classes?  How did/do you like them?  Any advice on keeping up with them along with all your regular, daily life activities?

My favorite season is about a week away from officially starting....FALL!!!!!!! Brisk autumn weather, beautiful colored leaves, boots, sweaters, cute little hats, haunted hayrides, hot cider (sometimes spiked with rum....yum!), Starbucks caramel apple spice (to die for!), flannel shirts, candy corn, Halloween, and an excuse to watch all the horror movies I'd end up watching anyways.  I love fall.  So much.  It goes too fast every year though!  The cool weather comes, then all the sudden it turns to cold and snow starts falling.  Don't get me wrong, I love winter too.  But something about fall is just my absolute favorite.  Already have plans for tailgates, haunted hayride/attraction nights, cider drinking, pumpkin carving, fall running races, and more.   Also, contemplating Halloween costumes already (I decide early).  Old school Avril Lavigne oooor Blue Barracuda team member from the one and only Legends of the Hidden Temple?
My favorite Halloween costume of all time was Halloween 09.  I was my favorite TV character of all time.  BUFFY SUMMERS.  First of all, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my absolute, 100% favorite show EVER.  So I decided to be Buffy for Halloween senior year of college.  And I wanted to go all out.  My very talented friend Christi handmade my dress - the white dress from Season 1 finale 'Prophecy Girl' episode.  I got a fake leather jacket from a thrift store.  Bought a piece of wood from the craft store and shaved it down into a stake.  Ordered the exact replica of the cross necklace that Angel gives Buffy in the series opener ('Welcome to the Hellmouth').  And, since I couldn't find a good blond wig (they are all so shitty and fake looking!)....bought some bleach & hair dye.  Took my brown hair to blonde.  Hey, I told you I wanted to be legit.  Ahhhh my Buffy Halloween.  Best. Halloween. Ever.

Well, time to stop thinking about Halloween and get back to homework.  Need to be productive this week because next weekend (hopefully!), my man and I are going to Ocean City for a long weekend vacation.  :) It'll be nice to have a day off work and get away for a little!

Hope everyone had a great weekend :)
