Bored? I wish...

Unlike Sherlock, I am not going to be bored for a very long time. Tomorrow, I start classes at Inver Hills Community College! I'm super excited, and just a bit intimidated...But between 16 credits, various clubs and activities, and my tiny social life, boredom is not going to be a problem. In fact, I'm quite glad that I'm taking a stress management class this first semester :) 

I shall try to post as much as I can, but no promises. Well, one promise: I shall be back when the next important geeky thing happens. Which will be November (Catching Fire and the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary). And now I've got myself thinking about how excited I am for those two things!!

OHMYGOSHKATNISSANDPEETA!!!! TENANDROSEARECOMINGBACK!!!!

Okay, I'm done :)

I've had a pretty busy August, between going to church family camp, getting sick, and preparing for the school year. Camp was epically fun, and my friend Ciara was able to come too! We even got to take a trip to a nearby waterfall.

Abby, me, and Ciara on our way to the waterfall

We took lots of pictures :)



And here's me wearing my new hat. Its kind of become my item of interest, like the Eleventh Doctor's bow tie...
 


Now, something else incredibly amazing happened this month. But before you continue reading, let me give a HUGE spoiler warning! If you have not seen series 6 of Doctor Who STOP READING. If you have seen series 6 of Doctor Who, then you probably know what I'm going to talk about...

So, my friends Hannah and Abby are both ahead of me in Doctor Who, and insisted that I watch a certain episode with them. A Good Man Goes to War. I was a bit nervous, considering the fact that Hannah needed to watch Doomsday with me too...

Abby, me, and Hannah :)

But nothing, NOTHING, could have prepared me for the revelation of that episode!! I wish I could have seen my face (although Abby and Hannah both say it was incredibly entertaining). River is Rory and Amy's daughter!! The child of the TARDIS...I'm still freaking out about it!!! I just love this show so much :)



END OF SPOILERS. I REPEAT, END OF SPOILERS. YOU MAY CONTINUE READING.


I have now watched through Let's Kill Hitler (THAT EPISODE WAS AMAZING!) and am even less prepared to say farewell to Eleven this Christmas ;( I just love him so much! And Rory, Rory is so incredibly epic!! He has now been added to my list of fictional character crushes ;) It's a long list...

Anyway, I still can't believe that I'm actually going to college tomorrow. I don't think it will really sink in until I walk onto the campus in the morning, then I'll have this emotional moment right before my first class starts...It's just so strange growing up. You live your life, then you wake up one day and you have to be mature, and make decisions that will affect the future. I am praying that God will give me the wisdom to handle the next two years, and the rest of my life, as His child should.
Here's to tomorrow, my continuing education, and the rest of my life!

Geeky Revelations and Valleyfair

So much has happened in the last week! My goodness….

First, the Sherlock series 3 teaser trailer. THE SHERLOCK SERIES 3 TEASER TRAILER. *Takes a deep breath*. I never thought a video under thirty seconds would make me freak out so much…

It just seems so real now. Series 3 is actually coming! That moment when we saw Sherlock’s face for the first time since Reichenbach, I swear my heart stopped for a while. John has a creepy looking mustache, but that’s not the point…

Then, only a few days later, we get to see who our 12^th Doctor is going to be! Now, I would first like to say that I’m not one of those people who thinks every Doctor has to be “hot”. But it will be strange transitioning from such a young, and yes, very attractive Doctor to an older one. I don’t want Matt to go, because I really love him. But when David left I didn’t want Matt, and I’m sure it’ll be the same way with Peter. I shall accept him begrudgingly for a few episodes, then eventually love him.

Hey, what can I say, I don’t like change. And yes, I realize that is the central theme of Doctor Who…

Now, on a less geeky note (although there were several references to cool bow ties), I had the most epic day yesterday at Valleyfair with my lovely friends Abby, Adam, Ciara and Elisabeth! We had so much fun! So much in fact that I’ll let a few pictures do the talking.

Left to right: Elisabeth, Abby, me, and Ciara. Here we are right after braving the Steele Venom, which you can see in the background.

 

These girls are just so amazing :)

 Okay, so this next pic has a pretty interesting story. There is this one ride, the Xtreme Swing, that I really freaked out on last year. I swore I would never go on the thing again. Now, on a seemingly unrelated subject, Ciara and I thought it would be fun to go up and do karaoke that they had set up, and we were trying to get my friend Adam to come sing with us. He refused, and we all walked over to the Xtreme swing so I could take pictures of everyone else riding it. Then Adam made an offer I just couldn't refuse. He said that if I went on the Xtreme Swing, he would come up and sing with us...

Not kidding. It was hilarious until I sat down on the seat and started asking myself why in Gallifrey I was sitting on this ride I almost died on last year. But I made it! And it was totally worth it :) Ciara, Adam and I all sang "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson and had a lovely time embarrassing ourselves together.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger...

Group picture!

 

One last pic before we left...

 So anyway, that's what I've been up to...geeking out and freaking out on scary rides :) Fun, right?

Until next time,

~Kelly
