The Run Down
Well, it's been awhile.
I got a little busy and everything seemed to kinda snowball out of control but I did have some good bits in there too.
Let's see where do I start?
Well, for those of you following me on Facebook, they're not going to do imports anymore so when I post here, it won't show up there. They'll do this on November 22 so just a heads up.
Halloween was interesting...
There was a party October 28 the Friday before Halloween in the French house. I was a ballerina by the name of Valentina Verdy, who comes from Paris and teaches at Indiana University. It was okay but kinda boring at the same time and like the silly person I am, I did dishes afterward. Then the next morning I hopped into my car and drove to Hicksville to share Halloween with family. I think we had fun that weekend. There was a lot of sweets and my very first meat pie a la uncle tony! It was delicious!!!!
On Sunday I got in my car and started to head back to BG but didn't quite make it. What we think happened is that the transmission went out but without having someone look at it that's really just the best guess we can come up with. So no more car....
Halloween itself was uneventful and kinda sad because I wanted my car to be all better and drivalble but that wasn't going to happen.
I started NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) on November 1st and plan to finish up my 50,000 words before the deadline. I'm at 47,816 words at the moment but that will probably change by the end of the night. Which leaves, 2,184 words left to get the ending in.
Anyone know why the ending is the hardest part of the story to write???
That next weekend I was going to babysit but I was canceled on twice. Once by the lady who lives in Sylvania (who I still haven't babysat for yet) and the other by Abbi who decided that spending the night at a friends house was better than hanging with her cousin. Oh well.
Cassi and I went to the mall in Ft. Wayne and went window shopping and had dinner next to the huge two story carousel that they have in the middle of the food court. We made wishes in the fountain and then headed to the Ville where Cassi was going to drop me off. On the way, we saw a shouting star and made another wish, which led us to decide that we deserved a Stake and Shake milkshake for being awesome.
Saturday, I hung out with Grandpa Bill. We went to church in this cute little church in a town that I can't remember the name of. It was a huge contrast from the cathedrals of Spain and barely had any embelishment..Afterwards we went to Rita's in Edgerton and had the most delicious BBQ ribs I've had in a real long time. And of course we had to finish it up with a slice of pie. Mine was mint chocolate pie.....to die for.....
And I think that's about it.
If you make it this far into reading this post then you get the bonus material so just keep reading on.
My week has been pretty normal. I thought that it was going to be insane with a paper due and two exams but I'm finding that I'm handling it pretty well and I even got a paper done for next week and I'm starting on a project for the end of the semester.
No classes on Friday because of Veteren's Day so I'm going home when Cassi picks me up.... It's going to be a nice relaxing weekend I think and I'm really happy that I get to see mom, dad, and the boys.
Okay bonus material....
since you've made it to the very bottom of this post you get a special prize.
I've been talking to this guy who I like more and more as we get to know eachother. He's kinda super awesome and we kinda used up most of the minutes on my phone talking for hours on end....oooppps....
Happiness!!!!
Okay,
That's officially it.
Blessed Be all my wonderful readers!

Found Something Cool!
Hello again all!
I'm writing before classes today since it's Tuesday and I'm so totally tired. Tired enough that I think I may have actually dreamt in french last night. I do remember the word for fish in there somewhere but the context was off so I'm not sure what exactly was going on.
There's no heat in the French House still, and I have only two packets of hot chocolate left and four packets of tea.....It's sad but I'll make it to the weekend I think. Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts are both close enough to get to to get a hot beverage that I can probably handle that too.
What's for breakfast?
Well, breakfast is me rolling out of bed at 10 this morning and going down to the kitchen with a poptart then changing my mind and coming back up the stairs to drop the poptart in a drawer. I then pulled on clothes and went to Dunkin Donuts for a hot chocolate and a breakfast sandwich. It's a sad excuse for breakfast but I didn't feel like doing much....
Plans for the day?
Well, I have class at one then lunch with friends and another class at four. After that is Spanish Club at 6 in the Pub so that I get my weekly dose of all spanish conversation. (there's one on mondays for french). To finish I'll be doing some hardcore homework in prep for Wednesday and then falling asleep in a blanket burrito.
Listening to?
Thity Second's to Mars This is War
Something Awesome I found?
Why yes, I have one of those.
Olde Tyme Writing Set
I found it when I was doing stuff on Figment.com with my writing. One of the prizes to a contest was this set and I think it's awesome! I've wanted one since I started writing and it may actually be on my bucket list to write with a quill.
Something Random?
It amazes me the amount of Christmas stuff that is out already in stores. Do they really expect people to buy this stuff before Halloween has even happened? I mean seriously. Then when Christmas does actually come around does it all go on sale or disappear in favor of Valentines day? What goes through their heads when they say "yeah that's a good idea"?
Sorry no fun squirrel story today. They seem to be finding warm places to be now that it's getting colder.
BTW.
I'm not looking forward to snow so be prepared for a rant on that when it happens.
Hasta Prontito!

BG Again
I just thought I'd write a little something to say that I'm back at school from my beautiful break. I really didn't realize how much I missed the colors changing on the leaves until I was driving up there and sounding like mom.... "Look at the colors. They're so pretty...." I think they smell good personally and the campfire with the whole family was awesome. I can't think of a better way to end a night then sitting by the fire watching my brothers be idiots in the dark and piling wood on the fire until it gets taller than Zeke....
I probably won't go home again until christmas but at least I got to go once this semester and I know that I always have space in Hicksville when I want to get away for a night or something.
It's quiet in the house at the moment since people aren't back from break yet. I'm enjoying it. That and the sunshine out my window. It was a beautiful drive. There wasn' t much traffic and I made pretty good time though I wasn't trying to get here before a certain time frame; case in point, I had to take Zac his economy book before he went to class and I stopped to say goodbye to mom before stopping at Coffee Talk for a Chai Tea Latte for the road.
The most frustrating part of the day was when the vending machine at the rest stop wouldn't take my quarters....so I had to dig around in my purse and find nickels and dimes to make 75 cents after the dollar that it took with no problems.
Random add-in... There's a funny gray squirrel outside. He's twitching his tail and it looks like he's dancing around a spot.....it probably has to do the dance of "protect my nuts"....
and now he's run away up a tree because someone walked by. Mean peoples....
Song I'm listening to at the moment: Boy by Ra Ra Riot
If you like my little imput things (i.e. Song, random add-in, frustrating point) let me know. I decided that I was going to put them in because I figured that this blog was getting a little boring.
Hasta Pronto!

Pink at night, Sailor's delight...
I'm posting today because I said I would soon and I totally forgot the meaning of soon I guess. I've been busy though! I had papers to write and stuff like that. Plus with midterms starting in the coming weeks I might just go insane but that's okay because right now, at this very moment, I can look out the window and see this beautiful pink orange sunset that isn't really a sunset at all becasue it's raining and subsequently clowdy. It made my day.
Something else cool that happened.....well okay so I'm pretty boring and I don't have anything really spectacular to report. I'm just hanging out, doing homework, staying out of trouble and trying to keep up spirit even though I've hit my rut.
Just watch.
My life will get turned on its head for some reason or another very soon. I'm sure of it.
On a different note, I'm officially assuming that my previous migrains and the ones that I have off and on now are caused by stress. I'm not taking anything for them though so I'm sure it makes me cranky and antisocial when I get them but can you really blame me for not wanting to be around people when my head pounds at the slightest noise?
When I have time I write as many of you know and I've recently been shown a website where I can share some of my stories and people will actually read them... I have four fans at the moment....
Becca's Figment Page
The above link should take you to my page where you can access all of the works I've posted.
I guess that's about all I have for now. If something new comes up I guess I'll try to get it posted when I can but I'm not going to promise anything.
Untill next time, stay happy, stay healthy and
Blessed Be

Yikees!!!!
Well, sorry it took so much time to post again, one of these days I'm going to get on a good schedule of posting and you can all keep up with me....maybe.
So, I've been pretty busy, as you can tell. I'm involved with two clubs this year and my 18 credit hours are a little tough but I'm keeping my head above water. French is coming along fantastically, I'm learning a lot and I feel like the class moves really slow which I'm taking as a good sign but I do have the advantage of knowing Spanish so it helps.
On a sad note, I think I've got migranes.....
It hasn't been medically confirmed yet because they didn't do any tests or anything yet but I had to go to health services on campus last Friday. They gave me a pain shot and I was knocked out for a good 2 hours. Then they sent me home with some high dose Ibprophin and a muscle relaxer so this past weekend was kind of a blur.
Grandpa Bill picked me up at BG and drove me to Hicksville. I'm glad I got to spend time with family, even though I was out most of the time. Grandpa Bill and I even went to the Johny Appleseed festival in Fort Wayne Sunday morning before I went back to BG. It was so crowded there but I had fun listening to the music and smelling the sweet appley goodness....
If anyone is interested, I have posted a new teaser story on my other blog.

Sorry to keep it short but I've got to get back to studying and homework....
Hopefully I'll get a chance to post again around Friday this week.
Blessed Be

Oh so busy
Wow, I love life, and apparently I love not having one as well.
So within a week of being on campus I've gotten myself into two groups, one of which I was already in, and became treasurer of the spanish club. I also volunteered to use an hour of my free time on thursday to promote the spanish club. I feel a little like a traitor.
Things are going good so far. Classes are going smoothly and I've gotten together with some friends from Spain to hang out with between classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Ummm....
My birthday is coming up soon... at least according to the people asking me what I want. Just in case you are thinking of asking, here is the answer.
I would like one fountain pen or quill point pen so that I can be fancey when I write.
I would also like a robot that will do all of my chores/chore-like tasks.
I might like a transporter machine so that I do not have to go out in the cold winter.
I may need a pair of boots that will actually hold up in 10 feet of snow....maybe black....
I'm thinking about rollerblades and hair dye but those are pretty low on the list.
I also like movies, candy, posters, and books.....lots of things really.
but I really want that robot....
Now you know.
Now I have to get back to homework.
Love Ya'll
