Finals Week

So finals week sucks!!! Not only do i have to study all week and take exams, I also have to pack to go home.  Packing is the worst for me.  I have to move all of my stuff home in one trip back to Texas, and I don't know how I am going to do it.  There is no way that everything is going to fit.  This week is also depressing because it means that I am not going to see all of my friends all summer.  The majority of my friends will be in Alabama, but I  will be in Texas.  Don't get me wrong, I love home and miss it dearly, but all of my friends, that I have lived with for the last year , will be here without me.  So in my last post, I just want to say that I am excited to go home, but I will miss TTown and all of my friends dearly.

TOP Graduation

This past semester I worked as a mentor and tutor at Holt Elementary with  Tuscaloosa's One Place.  I tutored 2 third grade kids.  Yesterday was their graduation celebration.  They performed a song.  Then they all received their certificates and their gifts.  All of the kids had so much fun at graduation.  All of their smiles were so exciting to see.  I am going to miss my kids so much this summer, but I am excited to come back in the fall and see my kids again.

Farmer's Market

Yesterday I went to the farmer's market at the Episcopal church near campus.  This was my first farmer's market, and I had a lot of fun.  There was only about 8 booths, but they all had great stuff.  There was a great tomato stand that had extremely red tomatoes.  Another stand had baked goods, and another had lots of green vegetables.  There was a TV crew from the local news station that was filming.  Overall I had a great time at the farmer's market.
