Hey, Betsy! I miss you a lot. Hope that maybe you'll be in CoMo for Spring Break or something. Anyway, hope you're having fun. We're about to have a snow storm. Missouri ftw. :)

Hey everyone! (or just Nicole)
Sorry it's been awhile since anything has happened here. I don't really have much to talk about, nothing super crazy has been happening down here. Well we had our campus Halloween party last Saturday, which was a blast!! I went as Swiper from Dora and went around stealing peoples stuff all night. Anna went as Boots and Rachel went as Dora. Ghost Roast (the Halloween party) was a lot of fun. Lots of intoxication, dancing, minimum injuries, and a shit ton of fun.
One thing I wanna talk to everyone about is Thanksgiving break! Because I will finally be back home for about a week!! SO I'm going to have a movie night sometime when EVERYBODY can come so I can see everyone at least once. My break is the 20th-25th. I might be home from the 17th-25th, but don't bank on that. When works for everyone else? Obviously not on thanksgiving day..I'm thinking either Wednesday the 21st or Friday the 23rd.
TALK TO ME PEOPLE.
I LOVE ALL OF YOU.
But Nicole the most since she is the only one talking to me.
Suck it everyone else.

Hey College Kids, I miss you guys. Hope you're having an awesome time out in the wilderness. Without me. but really, I wish I could be there with you and I can't wait to hang out with both of you again. BETSY I MISS YOU SO MUCH! So, come home soon, okay? And post a bunch of pictures of you guys fighting bears and whatever you do in the wild. :)
Love, Nicole

So I'm procrastinating again and I figured I'd post some stuff from on campus since you guys have never seen it before! Hendrix campus is super pretty, and we have some cool things.

The fountain in the first photo is part of a long standing tradition here. On your birthday you are thrown in it by your friends, no matter what you are in the middle of doing. From my few experiences, it's been fun throwing people in.

 Just one of the many pretty gazebos around campus.

And there is one thing on campus that is suuuper awesome. It's our tunnel to the WAC (wellness and activity center). Many years ago it was just a normal tunnel and really creepy and so someone took it as their odyssey project to make it better. And what they did was AWESOME. Heres a twenty second video that kind of explains it.  'Harmonic Fugue' Tunnel

We also have a pretty tight chandelier in the common room of the SLTC.

Hey!

So hey guys! I decided to start a blog of my life in college because I want you to know the cool things that are happening, but I don't always have time to call every single person. So this is a more efficient way! This is totally not an excuse for us not to talk on the phone ever, but I will feel less terrible with this. And this is also a good way to procrastinate my essay currently, and many essays to come in the future.
(I now realize that this is pretty long so just bare with me! First post is always a tad bit long..)

Recently I've been missing CoMo a whole lot. It just isn't the same. I've met so many cool people, but they aren't you guys. I can't wait for winter break when I'll be home for about a month and I'll be able to see everyone!

Heres a basic overview of my life for the past few weeks..

I'm going to classes of course, then I usually rock climbing for a few hours, and sometimes ultimate frisbee practice (but I think I'm going to drop ultimate because I just dont' really have time, or level of commitment available for it). Oh! One thing that is just absolutely terrible here is that our Caf closes at 7pm! So dinner is always pretty early which is a bummer because then when I'm working on homework until 11 I almost always get hungry again. On that note, I'm trying to slim down just a tad. Just kinda doing the basics of eating better, trying to work out on a regular basis (which is not happening). It was going okay but then I got sick and that plan when down the crapper. Eventually I'll get back to it, but not as of now. I also want to start some legit running and get comfy with running 3 miles at a time, but I guess we'll see how that goes.

Um, on the romantic front, everything is pretty much dead. Here's what's been happening with my (lack of a) love life. I started my carrer of college crushing on one of my orientation trip leaders. He was super cute, kinda jokingly full of himself, only two years older, and I totally just fell for him. But, a week later he started dating someone (who was mega attractive) so that totally sucked. I was super bummed. Then I started hanging out with a specific group of rock climbers and that was super fun! And of course, I developed a crush on one of the guys! He's a junior and pretty cool. And well basically I'm sure he doesn't like me. Which sucks again. And basically I'm friends with a shit ton of pretty and skinny people so I've got nothing on them!

Homework sucks. My classes are pretty hard. It's a bummer. I should go work on my essay for my world lit class since it is due Thursday. Whatever. I care about you guys to much to do that!

I've almost been sick this entire time here! Okay, that is totally an exaggeration but I was pretty sick for about three weeks. I lost my voice and felt like shit, so a good old sickness. I seem to always have bruises and cuts on me somewhere. Between turf burns from ultimate and flappers from climbing, I am always messed up a little bit! Speaking of, I might be developing tendentious in my elbows from climbing too often. I took a few days off, and it got a bit better, but when I climbed today they flared up again. Which is a major bummer.

Alright guys. I need to go write that paper. I'll try to keep up on this thing. We'll see how it goes i guess!
I miss all of you! I hope things are going alright at home and school!!
