What are you majoring in?

Oh how I detest this question! I have no idea what I'm majoring in and when I tell people that I get the same answer over and over again. "That's okay, you have plenty of time! I changed my major a few times!" Although I'm unsure what I want to major in, I do know what I DON'T want to major in and that is anything involving medical.

This last Thursday I was at my ballet lab and we were doing a jumping combination. I went to jump in and I felt my knee buckle and I fell to the floor. When I looked down at my knee I watched my knee cap shift from the left side of my leg to back where it should be. It is very strange that my knee dislocated, I've never had anything happen to me like that before. Some students were very nice and worried about my knee during class. One girl even ran out of the studio and all the way across campus to get a bag of ice for me. The teacher is a sweet old lady who was terribly worried about it and would not let me walk home even though I could have. It would have taken me 40 minutes, but I could have done it.

Here's a picture of it that night. It's kind of hard to tell how swollen it was, but I kept ice on it periodically throughout the night and I also had a knee brace my roommate and her guy friend were kind enough to run to walmart and pick up for me! 

My knee is back to a regular size now and doesn't hurt as bad. It only hurts going up stairs now, which is unfortunate because I feel like there are stairs everywhere on this campus! 

A Week into College

I have been meaning to post about my room and my classes now that college has actually started, but the lovely homework keeps getting in the way.

So its a week into college and I've already done more homework than I ever did my senior year of high school, however, my classes are going pretty well and I really like my roommates.

Here's my room that I spent all summer collecting stuff and working on my projects for.

That little ottoman sitting on the ground was one of my projects. I found it at a thrift store and covered it with the same exact fabric as my curtains. Which is a little win for me because I got my curtains at Target and the fabric at Joanns. 

This is the view of my corner of the room. Yes that is a rake on the wall... I saw something like that on Pinterest and I thought that would be way cute and then never actually did anything about it until one day I was wondering around our garage at home and found an old rake head laying on the ground. I have lived in that house for 16 years and have never noticed it sitting in the garage... 

I also made that board sitting on my desk. I had what my brother in law, Matt, calls a "Stacy Vision" one day and I thought I could make a board out of a pallet and use it as a head board, but obviously my "Stacy Vision" changed and it became a picture board. 

I took a pallet that my grandpa got for me and used my Dad's sawzall and cut off the boards I wanted. Next I used my Dad's nail gun and put it all together. My dad told me that I am the only one of his daughters that ever wanted to use his power tools. :)

 I stained the whole thing, put a few rows of twine up, and hung up my pictures! :)

And here's my closet. I hated the fact that there was no cover on the closets... It drove me nuts. I'm one of those people who can't sleep with their closet doors open, so the curtains were a must!

All my classes are good so far! My professors seem to be good too, except my math teacher... she's a little crazy! I'm liking the whole college thing and I love even more that I can go home for Sunday dinner!
