"Everybody's got a part in the game, and everybody's got a cross they can claim."

Just wanted to start off the November posts by expressing my extreme excitement for Barack Obama's victory!!!

Anyway, there's plenty of time to be excited about our new president-elect, onward to a recap of the last couple of weeks in October, and the start of November.

Halloween was a blast to say the least! ASU played...well more like DOMINATED over the Wofford Terriers and all of it was documented courtesy of ESPN2, along with all of the fans dressed up in their crazy Halloween costumes.
It was predicted to be a very cold night and with the game starting at 8pm, I went to all measures to secure warmth and comfort...as a result, one of my roomates who is in love with Halloween, let me borrow a chipmunk costume from her vault of many Halloween costumes. I was nice and warm throughout the whole game.

Saturday night, my roomates and I hosted a Halloween party at our house. I opted for a different costume and dressed as a referee. It was a blast!!

This semester is coming to an end and it seems like just three days ago, I was starting these classes! This semester is by far the semester that has gone by the fastest in my three years of being at App. I'm trying to slow down long enough to try and enjoy the beauties of our mother Earth. It snowed at the beginning of this week, and even though I'm very much against the cold and blustery weather that we've been hit with recently, the snow was very pretty.
It's pretty scary to think about it because this time next year I'll be preparing for graduation.
I've started to really delve into the graduate school information and I'm working to take my GRE soon (the GRE is basically the SAT for college students that are trying to get into grad school, so sorry to say that you can't escape them once you leave high school). I'm also working with the coordinator of ASU's wellness center to develop a program for my honors thesis. Now that I have officially registered for my classes for the spring, the realization of that work that is to come is starting to hit hard.

Nevertheless, no matter how stressful the next few semesters will be, I'm making the most of every moment and working hard to acheieve my goals of getting into graduate school, in particular, the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.

So I leave with these hopeful and encouraging words. There are many times when you might feel like nothing is going in your favor, but don't worry about a thing because it'll all work out. Work hard. Play hard. Everything is possible with a little faith and effort. I mean, we have a brand new President and he's African American. . . . most people would have never thought this situation would have ever been a real one.

Until next time,

-Abbie
