Fall Break... Wed/Thurs/Fri

Hi Everyone,

Sorry that this blog post is a little delayed... this past week with midterms has been pretty crazy, and then Fall Break!  So although I haven't blogged in what seems like forever, I have a lot to share with you guys :)

I said my goodbyes to the 'hurst Wednesday after my science class, Environmental Problem Solving.  And let me tell you, what a way to end the day.  I'll be perfectly honest and say that I really don't like science (thank you Liberal Arts core!).  But once I sat down, before class even started, I was literally clock watching like nobody's business.  I felt like an elementary school kid on the last day of school, waiting for summer vacation; I could literally taste Fall Break!  But once the clock hit 1:50, I left the class and immediately started packing so that my roommate Kylie and I could head back home.  4 1/2 hours later, after a failed attempt to visit the Jello Museum (yes, I said a Jello Museum!) we met my parents at one of my favorite restaurants (their treat, of course!) and we then made the rest of the trip home.

I was really excited to show Kylie, my roommate from Florida, what home was for me and what living in Central New York was like.  She's never seen a farm, and she certainly saw plenty of them during her short visit with me!  I basically took the time to"culture-ize" her... my mom and I took her to a small, Amish country store, we drove her around town, and ate lunch at a local restaurant.  It amazes me that the smallest things were such a big deal to her, because she's just not used to it, like the leaves changing colors, picking apples, and seeing cows everywhere you drive!
