Well as for my grades for Fall Term... ABBA! Yes I was very excited especially because at one point during the term I almost dropped all my class and crawled into a cave. I have to say that the A I got in my music class I owe completely to Laura Leon. She helped me Ace my final which is what ultimately sealed the deal on my A in the class. So Thank you again Laura!! Christmas and New Years were amazing! We were able to spend time with friends and family! I started Classes on Monday! I am taking Psychology 202, Math 95, Eng 105, and volleyball. I just got out of my volleyball class and it pretty much kicked my butt. I know I will be sore tomorrow! Josh is still working at Hi- School Pharmacy, he was not able to sign up for any classes this term, but maybe next term. We are having a good time trying to figure out where to put all the stuff we got from everyone during the Holidays. Don't get me wrong we are grateful for everything we got! I just have no idea where we are going to put.
For part of my birthday celebration weekend we drove to the coast! It was a pretty nice day, a little chilly but nice. My mom was able to take some amazing pictures with her cell phone! You can check them out on her
facebook. We had dinner at the chalet pie house in New Port ( I wouldn't recommend it! You can ask Alex about that one!) Since we were in Newport we decided to drive back through Corvallis. The first couple minutes of the trip were very nice. Isaac and Jordan fell asleep to classical music in the back seat and josh and I enjoyed the music and the moon shinning high in the sky. As we started getting closer to the mountains we noticed cars coming in the other lane with there hazard lights flashing. I quickly called my mom, who was in the car in front of us, and asked if she knew what was going on. She had I no idea. I asked her if it was icy and she stuck her hand out the window and said no. Well, after a ton of cars driving really slow with flashing lights we came up on a big hill and all the cars a slowed to a crawl. That was when we realized that it was indeed icy. While we were waiting for the cars in front of us to move my dad stuck his foot out the door to feal the ice. Josh and I did the same and so did the car behind us. It was very very icy, pretty much a inch of solid ice. I guess it was so cold out side that the water that was one the road had frozen! It was crazy after that. There were cars trying to come down the mountain that were sliding off the road onto the shoulder. For a while it seemed that no one was going to make it up or down. Our lane finally started moving and my dad tried to go, but everytime him put his foot on the gas the front of the honda would slide down towards the on coming traffic. This happened several times! I was nervous for a while that they weren't going to make it up. Later I found out that they said a prayer and then tried again. While they were trying to go up a huge semi-truck was trying to come down! I thought for sure the semi was going to slide into them and push them off the rail down the Mountain. Eventually my dad was able to control the car enough to make it go forward and he drove on the gravel in the shoulder unitl we were on our way down. We saw what had stopped traffic, there had been a huge accident! Hopefully no one was hurt. We made it down and we were just on the out skirts of phylomath when we tried to slow down and slid again! We all though we were safe, but there was till ice! So the rest of the way into Phylomath we stayed nice a slow. When we finally got there, we stopped at Mc Donalds to use the facilities. Everyone jumped out and started talking about what we had all just gone through. It took us about 3 hours to get home and it was very exciting! A little scary at times but it was fun! Oh and Jordan and Isaac slept through all the scary stuff! To bad for them!
Ok I have to go to math now! Oh and all my homework is done! Oh Yeah!
