back to school

So I have been neglecting to blog because I have been crazy super busy with all things back to school. I am actually living off campus this year and I am loving it so far. My roommate, also named Sarah, is never here so I am pretty much living by myself. Sometime I like it and sometimes not. Not would be when you don't know that the fridge makes weird noises cause it is old and you think someone is trying to break in. But I really like living in a house. It makes it more like I am actually living here and not so dark and depressing like living in a dorm room where I want to go home every weekend. This is my 3rd weekend in a row not going home and I am very proud of myself for that. I know that sounds silly, but freshman and sophomore year I would go home every other weekend. Freshman year I did it cause I missed home alot and sophomore year I did it more cause I did not like my roommates. I could not wait to get out of there.
On to classes. This is not freshman level classes anymore. In Genetics, we take notes from the start of class to the end. No stopping. Thank goodness in my class after that we really don't take any notes. I had a HW assignment due friday in quant. It was not too bad but HW the first week of classes should be outlawed. I guess that is my freshmen/sophomore way to thinking talking. Nope Sarah, you are in the big girl classes now. No free time for you! I just hope that things get better and I start to get settled into these classes.
O and I got a job this week! I am going to be a General Chemistry Lab Teaching Assistant. It's only wednesday mornings from 8-9:50. I hate that it is at 8 but I am getting paid to do it so I will suck it up.

Ok that is all I am going to write for now. sorry there are no pictures. My computer is being funny

Thankful

So it was my birthday a week ago and let me just say a birthday can let you know just how thankful and how loved you are. Sometime I take things for granted and don't realize how good I have it. This birthday showed me that I need to cherish everything. This weekend I spent the whole weekend fixing up the house that I am going to be moving into in 2 weeks to go to school and I just started thinking today that I am going to be leaving here soon. Way too soon. This summer has flown by and I feel as though I have been sitting back and letting it without enjoying it and cherishing it and that makes me really sad. But I have decided that I am cherishing these last 2 weeks with everything I have.

Well enough of the sappy stuff. Birthday time!! I had a pretty good one. I turned 20 and I don't feel any different. I fell the same ole Sarah. Hm presents.. I got a NorthFace backpack and clothes from my wonderful parents, a "Pandora" bracelet from my adopted family that I love, Tennessee tumblers from my aunt, shelves a table and some candle holders from Jeff, and moneys from other people. My birthday me, Jeff, Jason, and Toye headed to Huntsville and went and ate at a place called Dolce.

The restaurant was very trendy and very modern looking. The food was good. I got the chicken parmesan. Very good! I recommend it. I also recommend the restaurant for a special occasion cause it is a little bit too much for just a regular meal.
