      <content type="text/html" mode="escaped" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>I officially checked out of my dorm today!&nbsp; Bye bye Gunn-Henderson West!&nbsp; Bye bye Gunn-Henderson at all, for that matter.&nbsp; Next semester I am staying in Tinius with Kaley!</p>

<p>Freshman year was so crazy!&nbsp; It went by so fast, and SO much happened within this past year!&nbsp; I am sorry I stopped updating after Freshman Banquet.&nbsp; A WHOLE LOT of fun things or interesting things have happened, but I didn&#8217;t take the time to blog about them&#8230;.</p>

<p>I suppose I could highlight a few happenings since my last update.<br />
*I love driving around in downtown OKC and finding new places to try.&nbsp; Coffee shops, restaurants, art galleries&#8230;.&nbsp; PLEASE TRY CUPPIES AND JOE!&nbsp; I love that place!&nbsp; Cupcakes = delicous.&nbsp; Coffee (Joe) = delicious!&nbsp; Kelsey Humphreys played with the accompaniment of  Matt Stansberry live while I was in there.</p>

<p>*I am slightly obsessed with the sky lately.&nbsp; The weather is so&#8230; wild&#8230;, but the sky holds beauty no matter what!&nbsp; I enjoy taking pictures of the sky with my iPhone no matter where I&#8217;m at.</p>

<p>*I am on &#8220;phase two&#8221; of my recovery workout.&nbsp; I am supposed to do these different jumps to help strengthen my knees and legs.&nbsp; I have still been going on walks but haven&#8217;t been as dedicated to the jumping.&nbsp; That has hindered me from moving to phase three&#8230;.&nbsp; A goal of my summer is to work all the way through the six phases!&nbsp; <img src="http://blogs.oc.edu/ee/images/smileys/smile.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="smile" style="border:0;" /> </p>

<p>*Towards the end of the semester, curfew became pretty frustrating to me!&nbsp; As classes and homework began to wind down, I wanted to be doing fun things pretty much all the time, especially on the weekends when it was more convenient.&nbsp; I got through it though, no worries!&nbsp; <img src="http://blogs.oc.edu/ee/images/smileys/grin.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="grin" style="border:0;" /></p>

<p>*Ben took me to the arts festival.&nbsp; SO much artery clogging food!&nbsp; But good music, interesting artwork, and it was a beautiful day outside.</p>

<p>*Finals week is like murder to the body&#8230;.&nbsp; </p>

<p>*As of yesterday, I am completely through with my freshman year of college.&nbsp; Whew!</p>

<p>*It took me like&#8230; 5 trips or more to get all of my things home.</p>

<p>I love OC, and I am excited about next year.&nbsp; My sister will be coming here!&nbsp; A few more of my friends will be coming here next year also&#8230;.&nbsp; Yay!</p>

<p>Blessings to you all.</p>

<p>Peace out!

<p>I got more math help tonight from Jonathan&#8230;.&nbsp; This time it turned into a study session!&nbsp; Three other people from the class joined us.&nbsp;  When we finished going through the practice test, I went out with Salomon so he could get food, and I got a giftcard from Starbucks to help thank Jonathan for all of his help.&nbsp; It has been a LONG time since I&#8217;ve hungout with Salomon.</p>

<p>Anyway, I feel a little bit better about the test.&nbsp; However, I still do not feel entirely confident.&nbsp; I&#8217;m actually really nervous.&nbsp;  <img src="http://blogs.oc.edu/ee/images/smileys/confused.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="confused" style="border:0;" /> </p>

      <content type="text/html" mode="escaped" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>The breakfast fellowship was wonderful today!&nbsp; After church, Ben, Alex (my sister&#8217;s best friend and roommate next semester!!), and another guest who visited New Hope today came over to my family&#8217;s house for lunch.&nbsp; We had roast.&nbsp; After lunch my cake was served.&nbsp; Everybody liked it!&nbsp; That made me happy.</p>

<p>I had forgotten about the fact that Carmon and I had tickets to Ballet Oklahoma&#8217;s &#8220;The Wizard of Oz&#8221; ballet!&nbsp; Someone at church brought it up, thankfully!&nbsp; I was late, and Carmon and I almost didn&#8217;t get in.&nbsp; However, once we did, it was TOTALLY worth it!&nbsp; We had incredible seats, and the show was wonderful!&nbsp; <img src="http://blogs.oc.edu/ee/images/smileys/smile.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="smile" style="border:0;" />&nbsp; I felt a part of my childhood return to me today.&nbsp; When I was little, &#8220;The Wizard of Oz&#8221; was my favorite movie.&nbsp; My mom said she used to have to play it to get me to sleep.&nbsp; Also, I went through a stage where I refused to be called anyone but &#8220;Dorothy.&#8221;&nbsp;  <img src="http://blogs.oc.edu/ee/images/smileys/tongue_rolleye.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="tongue rolleye" style="border:0;" /> </p>

<p>Afterwards, because I caused Carmon and I to be late, I took her out for coffee.&nbsp; I love spending time with Carmon!&nbsp; In fact, we ended up spending basically the whole afternoon together!&nbsp; </p>

<p>Tonight I went to my church and hungout with &#8220;the group&#8221; that usually all gets together at Sarah&#8217;s.&nbsp; It was fun.&nbsp; I got kindof hyper.&nbsp; If only you knew what that was like&#8230;.&nbsp; Or maybe you do&#8230;. Oh my!</p>
