Wow, it has been a long time...
A lot has happened in the past few weeks. I got to go home for Spring Break (last week) and celebrate my Best Friend's Wedding. Yup, you heard me right. Megan and Jake tied the knot! :) I couldn't be more happy for those two. It's still crazy to think that they are actually married. I don't know why but it just hasn't hit me yet. I remind myself but that doesn't help much. I am sure one of these days it will click. :) Still I am ever so happy for them!

While I was home I got to see all of my family which was so wonderful. I miss them dreadfully! So it was good to spend a week with them. Tate had his first soccer game which I wasn't able to attend however I did get some pictures thanks to Jeremy!
I also spent some time with Katie (my roommate) who came down to spend some time in the sun. So it was a lot of fun that break! I know that a lot more happened but I have to go to class soon so those stories will have to wait for another day. :) After I got home from the break, I had to hurry up and get caught up on my homework (which I didn't do over the week- not surprising). While I was doing my homework, I checked my email and I had one from the Department Head of Math and Stats informing me that my Complex Variable class for the next day was cancelled due to my teacher having to go into the hospital for an emergency. It said not to worry and to expect class on Wednesday to continue as scheduled. Well, that was okay cause that meant I had an extra day to finish that homework. I was still really worried but I was sure he was going to be okay. So, Monday morning I checked my email again just to make sure nothing had changed, and I had received yet again another email from the department head. This email, however, was not one I would have like to receive. It told me that my teacher had had a massive heart attack and had passed away early Monday morning. Dr. Russell Thompson was a good man and one of my favorite math teachers. He reminded me so much of a Grandpa because of his cheery disposition. I am so sad that he is gone and that it was all of a sudden. My condolences go to his family and I hope that they are all okay. The email also informed me that another professor, Dr. Williams is taking the class over on such short notice. I have yet to hear anything about this teacher. but in about 15 minutes I will find out exactly who he is and what not.
Dr. Thompson is in my heart and will always be remembered as a great teacher.
