Ok, it's been awhile since I've written anything. I have been soo busy, it's not even funny! And school is starting in a little over a week, sooooo -anyway.

Wednesday I went to Great America - finally got to ride Raging Bull! It was fantastic - what a smooth ride! Too bad we went on it first, though - because the rest of the roller coasters were so bumpy and rough. We were spoiled off the bat.

It was great - I went with Joe, Shane, Kim, and then we also invited Heidi and Alice along. It was really fun getting to know Heidi and Alice better. I think we all had a blast - and that is what counts! We then went over to Joe's house in Racine (his family's) and I finally got to meet his sisters. It's been 8 years since I've been to that house, but it was cool seeing it, and recognizing it, and recognizing his dog and his mother:) His parents ordered us pizza (for us poor, starving, college students) and we sat on the porch and had a lot of fun. I don't think any of us wanted to return to Madison to work the next day!

Things are definitely better than they were at the beginning of the summer. I have a whole different set of friends now, but there's so many of them - it's great!

We officially gave our "fourth" roommate a key a week ago. Jeff now has a key to our apartment - hehe! That way we don't have to buzz him up every time he comes over:) He brought Trooper over yesterday and Jeff, Laura and I went for a long walk around the neighborhood. That felt good! I haven't done that in awhile. Jeff keeps offering to take me (or anyone else) skydiving. I so REALLY want to go, but it will cost me $165. I know I could come up with that after I get my financial aid check, but I have to pay some bills, plus I want to buy a CD player for my car and get a CD-RW for my computer. Soooo, that will have to wait. But I will DEFINITELY do it one of these days!

Well, I better get back to work. Busy Friday - lots of requests to handle and get processed so ppl can get to their web courses. I'll touch base later.
