Happy dwarfism awareness month everyone.
I know I mention it a lot but there are many people out there who simply are unaware that dwarfism exists so I try to do my part to spread awareness. So far everything is going well. October 11th was our mid-semester break. We had no classes that day. I will admit that with most going home for the weekend I felt a little lonely and homesick. But I knew that mom and dad would be here soon. Classes are going well.
One of my assignments required me and a partner to go to a fast food restaurant and observe.Its important to take advice from other people. With Thanksgiving coming up I am having fun making travel arrangements. I appreciate all the love and encouragement that I am getting from everyone. It really helps me remember that I can succeed in what I am doing even when I am far from home. I went out to dinner for the first time since being here. We went to a Teriyaki Restaurant called Nara with my brother floor and some of the other girls from my floor. It was really good.
Well I will see you all next month for more Adventures with Allison

September :month number 1
Hi everyone,
Well, this has been some month. Classes have started, weather is changing and I have settled into a routine that works. This month started out being kinda crazy with it being the first week of classes. I think I can speak for a bunch of the freshman bruins and new students when I say that we were pretty exhausted by the time monday rolled around.
I can say that I am doing well for those of you who I have not communicated with on a regular bases. So far my favorite class is psychology. It amazes me how fast time has gone. The student run events here are so much fun. For example, two weeks ago we had an all campus movie night where we watched the Goonies. This upcoming weekend we have an event called the main event. This is basically competition between living areas with minute to win it games such as trying to suck m&ms out of a pie pan. Before I know it Thanksgiving will be here. I hope everyone is doing well. I miss all of you.
PS. If you could please pray for a friend of mine that would be great.

My first couple days at George fox
Happy labor day weekend everyone
If you didn't already know my roommate and I moved into my dorm room on Thursday. Its a fairly spacious room with enough room to move around and be comfortable. On Friday night everyone went to the late night at Fred meyer which is where the store is open from 11 to 1 but only for George fox students and family. Last night I joined the rest of the first year students on what we call the mystery bus tour. This is where the faculty plan a trip, tell us what to pack and then take us somewhere but don't tell us where until we arrive. It was so much fun. We went to an indoor water park with waterslides and a wave pool along with many other cool additions. I had the best time hanging out and meeting new people. Mom and Dad left yesterday. At first I admit it didn't quite sink in that they were going home and I was left in charge of myself.I think so far I am doing pretty well(haven't died yet as you can guess). I begin classes on Monday. I am excited to begin the school year and do what I need to do to succeed. The cafeteria food is really good. At George fox they call the dining hall the "bone". Everyone here is so helpful and nice. Miss you all
