College, farming, and other stuff
This past weekend was full of a variety of fun and exciting things. I headed east Thursday night and went as far as Ethan's house in Augusta. Early Friday morning we headed to Emporia State University for my college visit. We took the turnpike the whole way there and it took about an hour (and a $6 fee). The college was great! The name of the housing complex I will be applying to live in is called Towers and there is a north and south tower that are identical. There are 6 floors and each floor is either a girls or boys floor, they alternate. Just this year they have started adding laundry cost into tuition which is good for me because it means no quarters!! The nursing building is actually off-campus, it is about 5 blocks away. The nursing building was wonderful, what I really liked was that they have their own library that is always quiet and even a few study pods that are always open and you can access them even if you are only a first year student. So even if I am not yet in the "nursing program" my first year, I can still go over and study at the building and take advantage of their librarians who can check my papers before I turn them in. After the visit at ESU, we headed back to Wichita and loaded up Ethan's new bed he bought and moved it into his apartment. Saturday I went out to work with him at Fisher Farms and spent the day preparing the foundation to set a building on. We poured concrete and leveled it off. My main job was using a shovel to fill low spots by scooping up excess concrete that ran over the edges. Sunday we went to Sheri's (Ethan's mom) work and used her computer to find and buy our plane tickets for Prague this summer. The tickets we got have us departing from Wichita on May 15th around 12:45 in the afternoon. We have 2 stops at Atlanta, GA and Paris, France and arrive in Prague around 11:45am May 16th. All in all it was a very busy weekend and now I can't wait to graduate and get the heck outta dodge :)
