I'm back... did you miss me?

Well? Did you?
I was gone for months. I let Xanga seduce me for a while, but in all honesty, I've missed my little blog here. Let's see... I left you all in April I believe. Wow, I've got a lot to get you all caught up on.

The Fall semester here at Messiah started up yesterday. This is a fairly easy semester for me. I have Group Dynamics, Psychological Testing, Human Sexuality from a Cross-Cultural Perspective, and an Internship worth 9 credits. The internship is through T.W. Ponessa and Associates Counseling Services Inc. My new brother in law set me up with them. Thus far, Psychological Testing doesn't seem too bad. There are a lot of papers to write, but if I don't procrastinate (which I'm prone to do) I should be fine, AND there are no exams AT ALL! Can you tell that I'm excited? Group Dynamics is going to be a bit more tricky. As you would probably guess, there is a lot of group work involved that is supposed to take place outside of class. Somehow the professor managed to put the four people with the most crazy and insane schedules together for my group. Still, if we plan ahead we should get the work done, and do just fine. And the only exam for this class is the final. I haven't had my Human Sexuality class yet, nor have I started my internship, but I expect both of them to be fairly easy.

In other news, a few weeks ago, on Aug 13th, my older sister got married, hence the reason I now have a brother in law. The wedding was small, and took place on the Jersey Shore. It was one of the simplest and prettiest weddings I've been to yet, though I'm not sure if it has beaten my cousin's wedding in Maine a few years ago. I had a dreadful migraine during the pretty dinner afterwards, but it was still a very nice event. My cousin Michelle came to PA for the reception held on the 23rd, and brought her two little girls with her. The younger one, age 13 months, is adorable and has quite the adventurous and tough personality. I think she's a Martin through and through. The older girl, age 2, is down right beautiful. It's believed that she has autism, but the progress I've seen since last summer was amazing. She was running around in the parking lot, when last summer she still couldn't crawl.

Anyhow, those are the most important things to get caught up on. I'll elaborate more on how my summer went over the next few days, and I'll attempt to be more faithful with my blogging.
