Dinosaurs, Rotten Apples and Then Some

Hey there, readers!  Every once in a while, things come up in my life that make me think, "Man, I really want to blog about that!  Too bad it's not exciting enough for an entire post."  These thoughts have been accumulating quite a bit since my last post, so I've decided to make you another bullet-pointed list!  So here we go.

What's Been on my Mind Lately

• Every time I learn about dinosaurs in biology or history classes (we learned about them on Friday in my biology class), I feel a little sad that none of us have ever actually seen one.  It's really too bad that they're extinct.  Then I'm reminded that the guy who's trying to recreate them is generally perceived as a psycho maniac, and my heart sinks just a little bit more.
• On a brighter note, I went to the Siouxland Sleep Out on Friday night!  I didn't spend the whole night, but I did meet a couple new people, which was a lot of fun.  I also won coupons for Maid-Rite and Applebee's!  I won't pass up those opportunities to eat somewhere besides the school cafeteria.  :)
• I went to my first senior recital on Saturday, and I quite enjoyed it!  Two senior music majors at my school belted it out for an hour in the auditorium across the street from my dorm, and I must commend them.  They were fantastic!  I look forward to seeing more of these as time goes on.
• I still love my job.
• I'm planning on getting more involved in Spanish club and TOES (Totally on Earth's Side), which is the school's environmental group.  I'm actually really looking forward to being a part of these groups!
• Sadly, the pet apple my roommate and I have outside our door is beyond her last leg.  Her previously luminous green color has been taken over by several brown squishy spots.  However, we're keeping her there until she turns into a pile of applesauce!  
• Oh, I almost forgot!  Not only have I been enjoying going to a local church's weekly college night every Tuesday, but I just joined a Bible study for freshman and sophomore girls on Thursday night.  I can't wait to go back this week!

And that's about all for now!  There are no classes tomorrow, so I'm planning on doing my laundry, getting some homework done, and whatever else floats my boat.  Ciao for now!
