COOL UPDATE
(I stole this idea from Jennifer, who stole it from someone else...)

10 YEARS AGO:
1. 7th grade, my second year at CHCA
2. My Granny had been diagnosed with lung cancer just a few months before, and would pass away within almost 2 months.
3. I was still a band geek, playing the trumpet.
4. I'm not sure what month it was, but sometime that school year I got a REALLY bad perm!!
5. I had huge crushes on Joe Hall, Joel Smith, and Andrew Macht

5 YEARS AGO:
1. Loving my senior year of high school at CHCA, and cheering for Varsity Football
2. Received a love letter from a guy in the Army at basic training with my older brother
3. Another dateless Homecoming
4. Karah and I got out of class early a LOT b/c we were "selling yearbook ads"

1YEAR AGO:
1. Spending the semester on Martha's Vineyard, MA :)
2. Spending all my time writing, recording, and performing music
3. Took a weekend trip to Boston-- Sam Phillips concert, Gordon College, the Red Sox won, vintage stores, biting cold wind...
4. This is when my addiction to my beloved laptop began.
5. Getting our last fix of Backdoor Donuts before they closed for the winter.

1 MONTH AGO:
1. Into the swing of my easiest and last semester at Milligan- woo hoo!
2. Worrying about getting a job...I never got one.
3. Open Mic Night! (the first one of the year)
4. Sara Beth came down to visit! Later in the day after she'd gone home, I broke down b/c I miss her and it just isn't the same...

1 WEEK AGO:
1. I was home in Cincy for Fall Break!
2. chillin' at home with my little bro
3. nothing much happened...

YESTERDAY:
1. Went to class and heard a boring speaker in chapel
2. It was Yom Kippur... but I didn't celebrate it...
3. I made some amazing pork chops with fried apples (yeah, that's right, I'm becoming quite the chef ;) )
4. I actually read for Church History, which I haven't done in, like, 3 weeks at least

TODAY:
1. Received my much-needed loan refund check, so now I can buy groceries for the rest of the semester (remember how I never got a job?)
2. Discovered I only have 9 weeks to graduation!
3. Vespers rehearsal went forever long (or at least it seemed that way)
4. Went to the mall and bought an amazing pair of slacks at Express for only $20 AND I ate Japanese (mmm!)
5. Stayed home the rest of the night, read, and wrote out this thing.
