Karin says hi!

The Christmas Lights Concert





The best night of the semester....The Christmas Lights Concert!

We sit outside on blankets and wait until 5:30 when the whole campus is lit up and the Christmas music begins.

This is how I spent Thanksgiving; going to a play about Queen Victoria. Our escorts dressed up in the Victorian era tuxes or suits or whatever you call them.












The play itself was cute, but for some reason I was so thirsty through the whole thing that I couldn't wait for it to be over just so I could get a drink! Next time I'm bringing a water bottle with me!

See ya'll soon. (ya'll, do you like that? Thats how I talk now:)

Tornado!

I thought Florida got hurricanes not tornados!? We sure got one today
though. I seriously thought we were all going to be blown away into the
sky. I watched as one guy's umbrella top broke off and went flying
straight up. It looked like a flying saucer! Once when it got really bad
the faculty put us all in a lockdown for 2 hours. Wherever you were you
had to just stay there and wait. It's amazing what people do when they
get bored. Unfortunately I was in the building where my math class was so
I still had to go to class. Tennis class of course was canceled, we got
to play volleyball instead. My tennis class played against the volleyball
class and we beat them! (highlight of my semester right there:) Once when
my friend and I were sitting on a bench in the Academic Center waiting for
class, a leak sprung and water started pouring on us. The whole town is
messed up and blown apart, but everyone is safe.

Anyway, it's been one exciting day, even though everyone smells like a wet
dog now...gross! Oh...I forgot to tell you about the lightening.....it
was awesome.....so was the thunder....

November

Ahh....November...holidays, colder weather, sweaters, scarves and coats.....

...but not here! Today it reached 85 and I got sun burnt while playing
tennis! This morning on the way to breakfast the birds were singing and
the squirrels were playing tag on the grass. I think
Florida is mixed up with what time of year it is, the sun is getting
brighter each day....and I love it!
