...It's a day away from October?! Sheesh!
It's not like it's a bad thing...September just went so fast! I love, love, LOVE October though. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, football season really kicks off and feels real, and the leaves continue to change to gorgeous hues. Love autumn so much. Just perfect weather to sip coffee, tea, hot apple cider (my favorite in the fall!), or cocoa.
Mmmmmmmm.
On an unhappier note, I believe that I am getting a cold. I will take some echinacia when I get to my room, but what I really need is some vitamin C!!
College Tip #3: Get lots of sleep and take some vitamins! If there is anything you can do to ward off a nasty, nose-dripping, throat-scorching, head-banging cold--do it! There's not much more suck-tastic than sitting through an hour lecture while you sniffle and cough for all of it.
I am rather tired today. Even though I did get a decent amount of sleep last night, nothing has healed the weekend yet. But I will survive! I just cannot wait for sleep tonight. Lots to do before then.
Hmmm...Fall break is in 17 days! I better settle down about that...

AUGH I'M SORRY
Hey guys!
I'm so sorry--it's been an entire WEEK. Oh I'm dumb. However, I have a good excuse:
I had a HUUUUUUGE paper due Friday. I got it done, though, if that's any consolation for your lack of reading for the past 7 days! Nine pages--yikes!
My week in brief:
Monday--nothing of note
Tuesday--same
Wednesday--same, yet heightened stress about paper
Thursday--Went to Spring Green with the FYS classes (in the "Love cluster"!) to see "Much Ado About Nothing." It was very well done by the American Players Theatre, in an outdoor theatre setting. Such a cool set-up, but E--GAD the heat was unbearable. Plus there were wasps and hornets buzzing on everyone and everything. One landed on professor Brown's head and I swear it was there for 5 minutes. So--if you ever go--bring sunscreen! A poor first year (I caught sight of her today) got the worse sunburn :( .
Friday--more stress, however finished the paper! I watched Beowulf with my Medieval History class which was a riot (I know it's supposed to be somewhat serious...but oh wow. Too funny.)
This weekend was also parents weekend, so my parents and Zach's parents FINALLY met!! It was quite exciting. I also met Nils, Ethan's German exchange student. Good times. Not a whole lot of sleep, however. Parents like early breakfast times for some reason...
Anyhow, I am so ready for some coffee and a movie. But I'm in college and will have to substitute "a movie" with "homework." Boo. Not as fun.

Is it the weekend yet?
Haha, yes I am asking that question on Monday.
I made a dumb choice last week. I opted to skip both costume workshops last week by going to both sessions offered this week. How stupid of me. That means I lose the hours from 7-10 p.m. on Monday AND Wednesday. It also means it adds to my repertoire of late evenings, as Tuesday I will work 11pm to 1am and Thursday from 11pm to 12am. Yiiiiiiiiiikes. All this and a paper!
Moral of the story is: don't do this.
Anyhow, I am looking forward to the weekend for more than one reason. It does mean a little more sleep and fun, but it is also parents weekend! And my mom finally gets to meet Zach's parents, and I will probably get a free meal (Roadhouse? Yes?), and I will get more coffee from good ol' Milwaukee (Hooray for Alterra!!!). And...YES! Everything is good about this weekend.
Just gotta get through the week first....

Mmm, Yes, Quite
Oh boy. Just took a bunch of pictures for the college...will they be on the website? Will they go into our brochures? ONLY TIME CAN TELL....
::eyebrow::. I guess I'm tired.
AHHHHHHH TOMORROW IS FRIDAY! I had to think about that for a second. I'm quite out of it regarding which day of the week it is. I kept thinking yesterday that it was Friday, and then when I woke up this morning I thought it was Sunday...oh god. Working 9p.m.-12 a.m. doesn't bode well for my psyche. Who knows?! I could wake up tomorrow and think it's Monday all over again!!!
I hate when I drink soda...I usually never drink soda, yet sometimes in place of coffee one needs a Pepsi or something. Anyhow, my body just reacts weirdly to it. "Julia--wait--what did you just have? I have to deal with that? What the heck, Jules." Haha. So yes--upset tummy. :(
OH MAN I am ready for some food. Unfortunately I just want really crazy unhealthy food. When you diet nothing is satisfactory. Nothing! All I want is a cheeseburger, maybe some pizza, and chocolate cake.
Of course I'd feel terrible after eating all of that...OH what a double-edged sword this all is...
So I promised to talk of last weekend. Last weekend my friends Emily, Mary, and Nikki drove up and visited me Saturday night! It was so fun. We hung out and caught up with one another and just had a blast. I took them out and they got to meet my friends and get a taste of Ripon! I was so glad to show them how much I love it here and why I attend this college. They had fun too!
Also Saturday morning I participated in Theta Chi's annual Frisbee Golf game. It was really fun. I was terrible! But still. Money to a good cause, and I got a t-shirt and Frisbee out of it! Haha.
So apparently Ripon has an out-doors club?? Cool! They're going camping this weekend. I wish I had known about it! Ah well, not like I need to add anything else to my plate!
Alright, well it is time for me to scoot. See ya Monday!

Oh dearie me!
So I am leaving forensics. I got things straitened out with Lyn McCarthy, my admissions counselor as well as the wonderful woman I am interning for, to help me out with the whole process...needless to say--It will work out for the better!
I will be less stressed, I will get more sleep, and I will not look like an old hag by mid-November. Hooray!
My only stressor right now is getting the news to my coach. I emailed him, but no response! I don't know what that means!!!!
Anyhow, I've been listening to the band hellogoodbye all afternoon, and they are just a great great great band. So catchy and nice, and their song "Oh It Is Love" is such a sweet song!!! Oh it made me cry. Love it.
AH time for dinner!

Wisconsin is awesome.
It is. It really really is, but it's also crazy weather-wise.
College tip #2 (and for all of you, really): if you are thinking about coming here from out of state or already live here, adopt a German phrase into your vocabulary: Zwiebel-Klammoten. Translated it means "Onion-clothes." Basically--WEAR LAYERS!!!! I told this to Zach on the way to my room today for lunch as I peeled off my sweatshirt and scarf and realized that I was too hot, even though they were wonderful to wear earlier (45 degrees this morning...yummmm).
Classes today were alright. I still am really enjoying art history--it's sooo interesting!!! I worked on notes for it while I waited for Zach to get out of his bass lesson, and then lunch...and now work! So yea....OH LIFE IS CRAZY.
Ciao for now!

P.S. i promise to talk about this past weekend soon!

P.S.!!!
Zach and I celebrated our year together on Sunday night! It was great. We made a scrumptious dinner (oh he can cook it's amazing!!) and then watched a movie. A sweet evening. This weekend we want to go on a hike in the prairie just to spend a day together; it will be nice! Ahhh.
