My decision that I've made lately may be a shock to people- it sure came as a shock to me. If you know me well, you probably know that I've wanted to be a veterinarian for my entire life. Most children change what they want to do at least a couple of times, but I never really had that moment as a child. I've always been dead set on what I've wanted to do and have never really given true consideration towards any other career. Just now lately my world has sort of flipped upside down, and turned everything around . Little did I know, I didn't know anything. All I want and need is a job that I love. I'm not giving up on my dream- but my dream is changing. I'm almost positive that I no longer want to be a veterinarian any more. I don't enjoy my classes at all, and I think I need something that helps people more. Don't get me wrong, I know that veterinarians are helping people through their animals, but I think that I will be more satisfied with helping people directly. I still love animals though, and I will probably have many interesting pets to come haha. I have been troubled with the fact that I no longer know what I want to do, because I really like to have things planned out. Isn't it funny how we think we know what we're doing and all of the sudden our world gets shaken up?
I took a career/major test on my computer a few days ago and submitted it online. To find out my results I had to go to a group session to discuss everything at the career center (they were very helpful by the way). It turns out that no one else came to the group session so I had a career counselor all to myself to help me! My test said that I was SIA (Social, Investigative, Artistic) with social being my primary interest and skill. It said that Entrepreneurship and Conventional are topics that I'm not interested in at all (you may find that humorous considering that I'm a daughter of an accountant and a business man). This quiz gave me several ideas of careers that I might be interested in. Ones that I'm considering are speech pathology, social working, or maybe even elementary education. Though who knows, there could be something else out there for me that I just haven't seen or thought about yet! I'm just waiting for something to grab my attention. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to narrow this down, I'm just going to have to do alot of praying. A problem that I've run into is that the classes I'm registered for taking next semester are all pre-vet curriculum and aren't required for any of the other majors I'm thinking about (except maybe my ethics and health sciences class) and pretty much all of the good teachers for all of the classes I would need have already been taken. But I just have to keep reminding myself that this is all in good Hands :) Everything will work out, even if I end up staying in college longer than I originally planned. Another personality test that I took called "Typefocus" said that I was ESFJ (extroverted, sensing, feeling, judging) and my results were: "Host and Hostesses of the World" Gracious, Good Interpersonal Skills, Thoughtful, Appropriate, Eager to Please. I know that everyone says that there's time for me to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life. I just want something that I'll love to do for the rest of my days!

My Verdict- Not Guilty
Not Guilty by Mandisa Click it! :)
I can already tell that this week is going to be an interesting one. This past Sunday, I finally drug myself out of bed (it wasn't too bad this time, the band got home from Georgia around 10:30) and went to church at Lakeview... and I'm so glad that I did. The songs that we sang during "big church" (yes I still call it that haha) were so motivational and I definitely could feel the Holy Spirit. We sang "Glory to God", "Glorious Day" by Casting Crowns, and the choir sang a song called "Not Guilty" that brought tears to my eyes. I didn't know this, but it's by Mandisa which inspired the blog entry named "Stronger" that I wrote few weeks ago... you know, the song that they played in my Butts and Gutts class?! I'm not used to singing contemporary songs like this in church... but I LOVE it.
On Sunday afternoon, I had a meeting for the Give Kids the World (gktw.org) trip that I'll be going on from December 11-17. They made us do a trillion activities that were supposed to build teamwork, like guiding a blindfolded person verbally to go through a "mine" field filled with squeaky toys, being "stranded on an island" and the only source of food was in a hole that we could only use specific materials to retrieve it, having to jump rope as a team (sadly, we failed at that ha), and a few other things as well. I've been kind of hesitant about going on this trip, because I don't know anyone on the team... but through those frustrating activities, I believe that we will work great together considering how patient and supportive everyone was. We were sent the itinerary the other day, and different people will have different jobs. They have events for all of the kids each night and we get to help with the events such as Halloween night, Big Splash Bash, Gingerbread House, and I think there's other things. The things that appeal to me are working at the Horse and Pony thing, La Ti Da Spa, and the Story Time Corner. But if I don't get placed in those specific places, I will be fine with working wherever I'm placed! Thank you to all of the people that gave money for my trip... I raised $125 over what I needed. I would love to thank you all in person, but the organization didn't tell me any names by which it was given... but I am so thankful and thank you all so very much!! Thanks for being so supportive of me. The extra money will go towards the organization, most likely other people's trips that couldn't raise the required amount.
Lately I have been in the process of making two big decisions, so please I ask you to keep me in your prayers! One of them has to do with my current major, and I think it will surprise many people :) But I'm still in the process of figuring it out and I want to make sure that I've made up my mind completely before I tell alot of people about it. But I'll let y'all know how it goes! I sure am looking forward to Thanksgiving next week!
My verse of the week:
So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 Corinthians 10: 12-13

Addiction
So I've come to the conclusion that I'm addicted.... to blogging! I think it's funny when I'm thinking and all of the sudden I remember things that I had forgotten to blog about...So here's something random that I really enjoyed this past week!
This week, I had a quiz in Architecture. This was not any ordinary quiz, it was one that I actually had to go out and experience architecture. Our goal was to take a picture, document, and record the address of where we found the following styles of houses: Neoclassical, Bungalow, Queen Anne, 1950's Ranch Burger, and Tudor. So on Saturday morning I hopped into my car on a mission! I received many weird stares as I parked my car in random places and walked down the streets with my camera and notebook in hand. I decided that I would go to Opelika since I haven't really been there, and it was quite a task to find residential areas with the exact house style I was looking for! It took me a little while longer than I expected and I actually got lost in the ghetto while I was there, but I had a blast!! I love projects when I'm learning something and having fun all at the same time. Why can't all classes have quizes like that?
I used to hate it when mom and dad used to take Andrew and I along with them whenever they'd look at houses just for fun. But now through this class I've kind of taken an interest to houses and it makes me think about possibilities for the future... I can't wait to live in a little house of my own one day :)
These are the houses that I found during my adventure:

FREEDOM.... well, sort of.
This past Sunday, Mom, Dad, and Andrew came to Montgomery so that we could spend some time together. I hadn't seen Dad and Andrew for a really long time! We got to go shopping and we went out to eat for lunch. I miss my crazy little family, and it just makes me more and more ready to come home for Thanksgiving! Mom told me that she had a surprise for me in the car... it turns out that it was a cooler full of homemade food! Best present ever. So this week I've been living off of "real" food. I have peas, carrots, pasta salad, broccoli cheddar soup, and last but definitely not least... chicken casserole :) I've already finished all of the chicken casserole! Thanks Mom.
For the last two weeks, I've been thriving on the fact that if I can just get through with today, the monster of all days, that freedom would taste so sweet. Today I had both a chemistry and biology test... I've studied the most I've ever studied, and sadly it still wasn't enough. It's not that my chemistry teacher is horrible, I just had a terrible experience with chemistry in high school and so I barely have a background in it. Though don't get me wrong, I think I did better on this test than on the others (knock on wood) I was just disappointed that I studied for a while and still didn't do as well as I had hoped. Though I will say this... if you are going to take biology at Auburn, do not I repeat do NOT take Professor Singh. I have always loved biology. I loved it because I could apply it and I've always liked to know why and how things work. All of you Andalusia High School studnets, be so thankful for Mrs. Sasser. She's one of the best teachers I've ever had. She was interesting, clear, helpful, and explained things to where they made perfect sense. My professor does not explain how anything works, he only reads off of a slide. Earlier in the year after I made a poor grade on my first test, I stopped coming to class and told myself that I could teach myself out of the book and read over his notes and make a better grade. So for the second test, I made 2 points higher than I had made on my first test- and I didn't even go to class. For the third test, I decided to come back to his class, and then I decided that I wanted to talk to him on ways that I could improve my grade. He asked me, "Do you come to class?" and I replied, "Well not lately." and he said, "well, why not" I replied, "Because I've noticed that by coming to class my grades don't improve"... which really I shouldn't have said that, but I was just so mad but I said it calmly. He replied angrily, "Oh, that is not the case!". which, if he ever took attendance (which if he did I would have been coming to class everyday) he would have noticed that I was telling the truth. But ever since I talked to him in his office, I've been coming to class every day to prove to him that I'm there. He's been telling us this week that nothing from chapter 15 would be on the test, but he had several questions from that chapter on there. I confronted him about it (not in a bratty manner) and he looked at me like I was the smallest dumbest piece of dirt and said, "I covered it in class". So I just kind of teared up, and walked out of the room. Basic genetics are actually really interesting to me, so I've payed good attention. He didn't cover those things. Briana (a band friend) and I went to study at the library last night, and thankfully a band kid that marches behind Briana in the halftime show was able to help us study photosynthesis. He drew it out on a board, and told us the function of all of it and it helped so so much! We ended up staying until after midnight. I now understand alot more. It's just sad that I never feel like I understand anything in my biology class.
So now that both of these tests are over, I will finally be able to move on. Clean up, go to the grocery store, wash clothes, pick up my band uniform from the cleaners, and everything else that I put to the side so that I could finish studying. I'm free for now... but in the back of my mind all I can think about are my finals... which are the only tests that I have left for the remainder of this semester. Sorry for all of the whining, I've just really needed to vent. Thanks for listening :)

Breaking the Habit
Today, I'm sitting here eating the first sandwich that I've made since... well, I was home this summer. And I have to admit, it tastes pretty dang good! I'm embracing the George Foreman Grill :) Lately I've been so tired of eating heavy meals so it feels good to eat a satisfying but not overbearing portion.
Last Friday, the architecture department held their annual pumpkin carving fundraiser! My intro to architecture class was required to participate. It was so awesome to get to do something fun during class! I believe the last time I carved a pumpkin was when I was like 12, so don't make too much fun of it ;)
On Saturday night, the marching band had their Halloween party, and so I went as an 80's girl! I really enjoyed searching for all of the pieces of clothing, teasing my hair that big, and wearing loud eyeshadow.
I only stayed for like an hour at the party, and then a few of us decided that we wanted to go to Pope's Haunted Farm. They had a haunted barn, forest, hayride, and clown maze. The hayride was closed by the time we got there, but we got to go into everything else! First stop was the forest. We went into this abandoned trailer, and their special effects were so cool! The walls started to close in on us, and we were cracking the people up. On our way out of the trailer, we heard them say, "They were a good group!!" as they were laughing. Then the forest was really dark and people were chasing after us. They had some workers in a sling type thing up in the trees, and they would jump down from the trees, and bounce right back up. They also had a "Peter Rotten Tail" room which was creepy in itself. After the forest, we went to the haunted barn. The barn was based off of the Saw movies, and I've seen about 4 of them, so I understood alot of the things. I just couldn't help but to think of some of my friends from Andalusia, cause we used to watch scary movies together and go to haunted houses... I'm pretty sure they would've loved that place! I miss them. Then we went to the haunted clown maze, which made you wear 3d glasses... and it was scary but I was just annoyed at the fact of trying to keep the glasses on haha. Two other people in my group lost theirs!
So once again, I've decided to temporarily deactivate my facebook. I'm just too tempted to stay on it or check notifications to distract myself from doing homework or studying... so by deactivating, I have no notifications to check. I know most people can just not get on it, but for me it's kind of a habit that I need to break because I spend all of my extra time on it! I know I said that I'd log back in on Wednesday, but I think I'm going to keep it deactivated until Thanksgiving break, when I don't have any more school work to do, then I will probably deactivate until finals are over! Please pray for me for my next chemistry and biology test... they happen to be on the same day (Wednesday) and it is crucial for me to make great on them! Though thanks to deactivating my facebook, I complete my chemistry homework last night that is due this Saturday (this is a big surprise knowing that I'm a big procrastinator!!). Unfortunately due to these tests, I won't be able to come home this weekend... but I'm so excited to come home for Thanksgiving!!!!!! :)

For extra credit we could take a picture with our pumpkin and write a description :) It's my favorite class for sure!

Corndog Nation
On Thursday night, my mom came to visit me for my birthday that was on Friday and bring my winter coats to Auburn. I felt kind of sad knowing that I didn't have much time to spend with her, because band was over at 5 and my lab was at 7 that night. We ate at a place called Amsterdam, and before I knew it, it was time for her to leave. The thought of being away from home on my birthday made me a little down, because I've always been surrounded by my family and friends. I thought that Friday wouldn't be a good day at all, but the AUMB proved me wrong! They were all so kind, and to my surprise, lots of people knew it was my birthday (thanks, facebook haha). By the way, thanks to everyone that wished me a happy birthday on facebook... I wanted to reply back but it is too difficult to type to everyone from my phone! I really appreciate it. Somehow I ended up with 2 seats to myself, so I actually got a little rest. We watched Blazing Saddles and Toy Story 3 (This movie almost made me cry... so sweet!) while we headed to stay in New Orleans for the night. Whenever we arrived, we changed into cute clothes and headed out into the city! We ate at a place called Mulates and got some authentic New Orleans grub.
I split a sampler with a friend and it had fried mushrooms, calamari, crawfish, alligator, meat pies, frog legs, and catfish. The alligator tasted like rubbery chicken to me, so it wasn't a favorite. I didn't really care for the meat pies either! The frog legs were actually pretty good. Everything else was delicious! So after that we headed to Bourbon Street. I did not feel safe there at all (but you have to consider I'm not used to huge cities with sketchy people).
My group all linked arms so that we wouldn't get separated by the large crowd of people. As we walked, I saw a few things that saddened me. I had no idea that Bourbon Street had so many stripper joints. There were literally posters on the buildings that had theme of the girl you could "order". I saw alot more than that, but I don't think it would be very internet appropriate. From there, we walked to Jackson Square to Cafe Du Monde to get beignets! They were delicious... they're pretty much just like funnel cakes. I bit into one and powdered sugar flew all over my coat and into my face. We had to be back to the midnight, so we quickly walked back to the hotel!
I didn't get alot of sleep that night, I guess I was just too wound up! We had to be at the buses at 6:45 to head to Baton Rouge to practice at a high school stadium. At about 11, we headed to LSU. There were literally people standing on the side of the road giving us the thumbs down, or better yet flicking us off (counted to 10 people then gave up haha). I mean come on people, we are only the band... and they knew that, we had a sign in our window saying so. But I LOVED seeing Auburn people run to our buses and jump up and down while we were traveling and shake their pom poms and yell "War Eagle!!" Going to LSU really made me appreciate Auburn and the people that go here. We never treat our guests like that. Whenever we got out of the buses, we had police officers help protect us. Thankfully, there were no episodes where the the fans tried to harm us... they were just obnoxious. lol! I wouldn't say all LSU fans are obnoxious, every team has their good and bad fans. I do think they overall enjoyed our Western themed show... I looked up into the audience and saw many smiles, and they didn't boo us like I thought they might... they applauded! We had many LSU fans to approach us and tell us that they really enjoyed our show and say that we were a good band!
So now it's back to the normal... it feels so good to be back in Auburn :) (by the way, if you're wondering about the title, everyone says that LSU fans smell like corndogs... even though they didn't really smell like that to me, it's all in good fun :) )

So now it's back to the normal... it feels so good to be back in Auburn :) (by the way, if you're wondering about the title, everyone says that LSU fans smell like corndogs... even though they didn't really smell like that to me, it's all in good fun :) )

Stronger
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emgv-VRtMEU -listen to it! :)
"Stronger" is the name of the song that was our cool down in Butts 'n Gutts today! It's an exercise class that I try to go to whenever I have time. Anyway, stronger was what I kept telling myself that I was gonna be if I ever made it to the end of that class. haha. I loved that she played this song for the cool down, it has an awesome message!
Last Friday was wild at the game, I could barely hear the drum major's whistle and had to sing really loudly to myself so that I wouldn't play along with the echo of the crowd singing along! Afterwards, I went to Josh Huggins' trailor and ate with him and a few other people and his family, Mrs. Sandy is a great cook... I know I probably get several weird looks because I basically stuff my face after the game! haha.
On Sunday, Leigh Ellen and I ate at Cheeburger Cheeburger (my first experience eating there, and it was delicious!!) and then we went to Party City to look for a Halloween Costume. I have to admit, I was pretty disappointed. We went to the back wall to look at their costumes and all I could do was stare. I expected these costumes not to cover my ankles but I didn't know that they would be like THAT. I couldn't help but to laugh to myself about some of them. I'm going to hope that those costumes don't actually look like that on people. haha! So it looks like I'm going to have to put a costume together myself. I'm thinking an 80's theme, mainly because if I curled my hair and teased it, it would be excellent retro hair! Leggings, leg warmers, big earrings, sweat shirt off the shoulder, you get the idea! But I change my mind all of the time so who knows what costume I'll actually end up with!
Lately I've been seriously considering to changing from the College of Science and Math to the college of agriculture and becoming an Animal Science major (I would still be pre-vet). This is mainly because I hear that the college of Ag is smaller and more hands on. My current major (Zoology) only has 2 classes dealing with animals, which is truly crazy if you think about it! Animal Sciences has around 5 classes that deal with animals. I just think that I would enjoy it alot more. I am all registered for classes in the spring- and I'm so excited! I stalked all of the teachers on ratemyprofessors.com and asked many people's opinion, and I ended up with the teachers that I wanted the most and that will actually teach! I will be taking Chemistry II, Organismal Biology (I hear this certain professor brings in different organisms to class all the time!), Introduction to Animal Sciences (maybe this will help determine if I want it to be my major), the lab for all three of those, and Health Sciences Ethics. I'm pretty pumped :)
If anyone noticed my facebook profile was invisible the other day, it wasn't because you were blocked, promise! I deactivated it for about 2 days so that I could have 2 days that facebook wouldn't interrupt studying. I had a biology test today, and really I don't want to talk about it. But I will be deactivating my profile alot more in the future (probably for about a week at a time) so that I can focus on school. I will most likely still be writing in my blog though, so check back whenever you'd like :)
This Friday I will be traveling with the band to LSU at 11 a.m. I'm probably gonna go look for a cute outfit tomorrow to wear on Friday night and maybe a craft or something to do on the bus! :) Hobby Lobby here I come!!!
Today is my mom's birthday, and so mom if you're reading this, I hope that you had an excellent day and I love you very much and can't wait to see you again!
(By the way if y'all are wondering, Freddie the fish is still miraculously alive!!)
