Blonde!

Oh yeah, that's right, I'm blonde again! =D I was getting quite tired of how brown and blah my hair was getting, so I decided to highlight it again. Kinda spur of the moment, but it looks amazing! At least I think so. lol. It's quite a bit lighter than I was expecting, but I love it! It's mostly white (bleach) blonde, with some darker highlights to it. I'll put some pics in here too so you can see it, though they're not very good pics. =P I'm not the most photogenic female on the planet. lol.

I can't believe that it's the end of January already! Everything's falling into place for me to go to Togo, and I'm SO excited about that!!! Now I have to focus on finding a job for the summer and finishing up the semester. My motivation to do homework (and work ahead) has pretty much plummetted this week, so I really need to get back on that. We have another game this weekend, so it may be harder to do, but I'll do my best. =)

Well, I have class tomorrow, so sleep would probably be a good idea right about now. Actually, it would have been a good idea about an hour ago... lol

Update

Wow, I didn't realize that it had been so long since I'd posted! We've now played four games (including the first one that I wrote about) and we've won three of them. Even though our team is small, we're in pretty good shape, and we've got talent, if I do say so myself. =) After our last game (Saturday; a week ago) I got really sick. I wasn't feeling well at our practice on Thursday night and had to stop after only half an hour, but by Saturday I was feeling better. But then I put everything I had into that game, and I couldn't even stay for the guys game afterwards cause I was feeling so lousy. I was sick in bed all day Sunday, and wasn't able to practice Monday or Tuesday. I figured I'd better let my body get better before jumping back into life. It was a good thing I did, too, cause I'm feeling a lot better. In fact, my cold's almost all gone! =D
School's been going amazingly well. I love my courses! But I have to go to work now, so that'll have to wait for another post. =)

64 to 40

Well, we had our first basketball game yesterday in Edmonton, and we won! It's always nice to come away with a win in the first game of the season. Yes, I did get playing time. We only have 7 girls on the team, after all. I was SO nervous before the game started!!! I've never played organized ball before, and I was scared to death that I was going to forget the plays and majorly mess something up. When I got out there, though, I had so much fun! It helped that I made a basket in my first 30 seconds on the floor. =) After that I hardly touched the ball, but that was completely fine by me. Let me do the screening and distracting defenders and others can do the driving and shooting. lol. We have another game in Calgary tonight, and I still need to get ready for it. I'm going to be so dead tomorrow! But it'll be a good dead. ;)

IT'S ALL PAID!

God is so amazing! Until this afternoon, I didn't know how I was going to be able to pay for this next semester of school. I went to the Financial Aid office this afternoon to figure things out, and I was told that I got a bursary that I'd given up hope on! $700!!! One free course!!! And with my scholarships and everything else, I had enough money in my bank account to pay off the rest of what I owed today! I can't believe how everything is falling in to place. Oh wait, yes I can! God works out all things. I just can't get over how He always provides everything that we need... We are so undeserving, and yet He provides. =)
I have two basketball games this weekend (one in Edmonton on Friday and Calgary on Saturday), and practice tomorrow, so I should probably be getting to sleep... *yawn*

It's alive!

There's finally some life in dorms! Yay! Everyone's back, and I'm having SO much fun! I didn't realize how much I missed everyone until they came back. Let me tell you, it was WILD last night! Everyone screaming and hugging and talking and laughing... You get the picture. =) It's been wonderful to walk down the hall and see random people that I know. Lol. I've been working a lot too. Need the money! lol. I don't know if I like this whole grown up thing. But what choice do I have? lol. School's awesome, and I can't wait for classes to start! They're going to be awesome!!!! =D

Home Sweet Home

Yay! I'm home! I left Ontario yesterday morning at about 8:15 (Ontario time) and arrived in Calgary just before 11:30am (Alberta time). The flight and everything went well, though I was exhausted when I got to dorms. I mean, Alberta time, I'd been up since 2:30am! And I'm not a morning person. ;) Surprisingly I've managed to keep busy since arriving in Three Hills, even though there are very few people here, and the ones that are here have classes all day. =P But I haven't been bored. Maybe I'll get a head start on some of my reading... Hah! Yeah right! lol. Anyways, I'm off to watch a hockey game. L8r!

Working yet?

Just trying this out to see if it works...

First post!

Well, this is my first time ever doing a blog, so we'll see how it goes and how long I stick with it! lol. I'm going out with a friend soon, so I'll write more later. Love ya'll! =D
