Fort Time!

Okay, let me just say, it is pretty impressive how quickly a bad night can turn into the best night you've had in a while. I'm going to skip all the BS and skip straight to the point. James had the brilliant idea of building a fort last night. It was amazing! We were so smart, and we had our engineer, Marley, do most of the construction. We used Dylan's bed frame and mattress, which he will not be very happy with. We laughed until we cried, and just really had a whole lot of fun. So without further adieu, here is the picture proof. They speak a thousand words.

(Grody of me)

And there are so many more great ones, but I can't upload them all. Haha, it was a great time, though.

Talk to you soon, Haley

Lately...

It was sad as always when Mama dropped me off on Sunday. :( Poo, I wish weekends were longer than two days. I had a good time at home though. On Friday night, Nadia and I went to Wal-Mart and got the fixings for a cookie cake. We actually did a good job, and it was adorable! I'll try to get a picture of it uploaded soon. We stayed up until about 4 am because we had to let the cake cool so that we could ice and decorate it, and we didn't start until about 1:30 am. (Classic my family) We also played Uno with Geema and Geema's brother, Tony. Then on Saturday we had a party for Madison. It was really fun, and we watched a SCARY movie after that. Dead Silence....ahhh! Then on Sunday I just went out with my mom to find an outfit for the orchestra concert, which was yesterday, Monday. It went really well. I messed up more than I should have and my back hurt from all that sitting up straight, but I had a really good time other than that. Today was just the same ole. My group and I rushed around to finish a project for our weekly Perspectives class (it's like a first year experience group mentoring thing). Our project was to do a photo scavenger hunt. Talk about hectic, especially when you wait until the last minute. But then our teacher was really sweet and took us to a new frozen yogurt place called 3 Spoons. She paid for everyone, too! Now I'm just chilling out in my dorm until my 5 o'clock Connections meeting.

Here's a picture from our scavenger hunt.

It's that time again..

Hello, world!

Not that I believe anyone is out there. Helloooo? (echoes, haha) I figured it was time for another update. Well, I am back in my home sweet home of Fort Smith. 45 minutes south really makes all the difference. I love it! I'm glad to be home this weekend. Fayetteville is kind of deserted anyway. I haven't felt very well today, but I'm feeling better. Must be the smell of this delicious candle that Auntie Sarah has lit. It's called "Winter," and they really hit the nail on the head with that name/scent. Today was an overall good    day. I enjoyed my anthropology class, as always. Okay, I can almost hear the yawns out there. I just don't have many interesting things to say.

Oh! Last night we had a spontaneous fire drill. Spontaneous in every sense of the word. There I was, in my dorm, chilling out and watching youtube videos. When all of the sudden, the alarm goes off, and the intercom comes on for us to evacuate. Really!? At 10:53? As it turns out, some silly boy on the other side of the building had a fog machine and it set the every-so-sensitive smoke detectors off. FAIL! I'm just glad I didn't get woken up to that.

And now, for your entertainment:

Boring Blog..

Hello again!

I'm kind of upset because I feel like my blog is so boring compared to the ones I read, but then again, most of the ones I read are mothers of small children or photographers or both, so they have plenty going on!

I'm going to try to keep it interesting. I'm also working on getting a cutie design/header thing. I'll let ya know how that goes.

Well, yesterday I had two test. I think I did average on both of them. Neither are really my strong subjects. Oh well, it happens. I had a headache all day though, so that didn't help. Probably pressure and stress. And my uncle said the FUNNIEST thing. I updated my status and it read, "Haley Herring has a headache and a test at 3:30." And he said, "I wish I could schedule MY headaches - wow! :)" I thought it was hilarious. 

Oh! Last night I finally discovered how to wrap my hair up for sleeping. I know you could care less, but it was exciting! I had to watch 2 youtube videos and try a bazillion times, but I got it! 

Now, I'm sitting in Mullins library like I do for pretty much all of my breaks. I'm putting of reading an article for my 11 o'clock class. Lovely. Haha!

Well, that's all I really have to say for now!

Later, Haley

It's Tuesday!

Do you know what that means!?! One of my favorite TV shows comes on, and I'm not talking about Glee! Although, I'm beginning to realize that's not such a bad show. It's...

Teen Mom!

I know, I know, but I really do like that show. And don't worry, I'm not getting any ideas! ;) My favorite mom is Maci. She's just the best, and that's all there is to it. And Amber is really starting to scare me. Honestly, I don't know how Gary puts up with it. He's a strong man. And the other two, ehh...they're good. Just not as entertaining to watch as the psycho-path. Okay, enough about that. 

Let's see here. This week has been pretty good so far. I got my first anthropology exam back on Monday. 102%! Heck yeah! I got my history exam back today..not as good, but it could have been worse. I had a private lesson today. Dr. Gates is awesome. Anyone that knows him knows that. I think he thinks I don't listen to him, but I'm trying I swear! Haha. And our first symphony concert is on Monday. Woot! Lots to be excited about it seems. I'm wearing a new shirt today, too. :D 

And now for some random pictures:

I really love this picture for some reason. Lol!

And I miss my little sister and brother :(

And I miss my mama, too.

That's all for now!

Later, Haley

Home for the Weekend!

Well, I went home this weekend, and it was awesome. Except for one little thing...


I lost my student ID, room key, and fob (thing that lets me in the building). It was so stressful! I couldn't stop crying and I went on the search of a lifetime. Ahh! And poor Hannah got her house searched by me. :/ Needless to say, it wasn't there, and then I felt really bad. 


Anyway....


I got home around 9 on Friday, and I stopped by my Aunt Sarah's for a second. Then I went to Hannah's because she was having a get-together in honor of her getting a new job. Woo! So, that was fun. Then on Saturday, I was planning on going to the mall to get some clothes out that I had in layaway at the Buckle, and I realized my little ID case with my cash, debit card, ID and all that was missing! And that's when I freaked. Mom loaned me the money though, and I eventually did find it this morning. Praise God! I am so grateful I found it. It would have been WAY too expensive to replace. And I still feel like a weirdo for going nuts, and almost filing a police report. 


It was all worth it because I'm glad I got to see my family. I was really missing them. "Distance makes the heart grow fonder." Haha! And I'm grateful Sarah came to get me :).


More to come soon,
Haley

New to Blogging

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog!

This is sooo exciting. I've been reading blogs for years, and now I finally have one! I'm starting this blog for the same reason that many people start blogs. So that my family can keep up with me and know what's going on without too much effort on my end :). This way, I don't have to tell the same stories over and over, and I can share pictures with the masses. Lol! I thought it was a great idea, personally.

Well, let's see. I've had a great time in college so far. I went to the highly publicized Arkansas v. Alabama game. It was pretty in-tents (haha, get it?). I camped out for 2 nights. The first one was pretty wet, and the second one was pretty cold. I wouldn't trade it though because I had a great time with my friends. And now for some pictures I took from Facebook.

Can ya tell how tired I was? Hehe.

In other news, I have two mentors. One for the Connections program, and one for my scholarship. I haven't really done much with that yet, though. However, I am excited. 

My mom came to see me on Tuesday, and we had lunch at Olive Garden. It was a fabulous time!

I'm going home today, for the weekend! Yay! It's been a few weeks.

Well, not too much else is going on. I'll start doing some back tracking here soon.

Later, Haley
