Last Blog

So, this is my last blog. As happy as I am about it, it is almost sad. I have gotten used to writing about nothing of much importance day after day. Maybe I'll blog again some day... we'll see... but in the mean time...

Swine flu is getting on my nerves. I understand it is spreading, but we are taking precautions and getting ready to battle this mother, so I am not too worried about it. I hope no one else becomes sick or dies, but that is a false hope. That cannot and will not happen. I am praying that as many people as possible do stay safe and healthy though.

Tonight has been a good night. I got my speech down and I feel like tomoro will be a good day to get on top and get prepared for the upcoming weeks. While I am not all that confident about finals right now, I have faith that I will be ready and do well.

Thanks to all who read my blogs. I know they were not all that entertaining or fun haha but I hope it wasnt too bad. Had a great semester with all you crazies and wish you luck in your upcoming years and ambitions. God bless us, every one.

Almost done!

So this is almost my last blog!! Not that writing these hasnt been an absolute blast, but I'm just not really the blogging type. Just when I thought school was gonna be real calm and not have much going on, I feel like I have a lot of work to do. I got a review for one of my finals that is incredibly long, and I have my speech on Thursday, and I have to read for some classes. I guess it just never ends! Ha, it is not that bad though.

I went on a somewhat legit run today for the first time in a while. My knee actually felt pretty good towards the beginning of my run and when I was making my way back started hurting a good bit, so I had to slow down and eventually walk. But, it was good. Getting back into shape is gonna suck! I have to do it though, because I have to be able to beat these boys at basketball next semester since I have been talking alot of smack haha.

... and.. right now my new favorite song is "please dont leave me" by pink.. check it out :)

This past weekend

This past weekend was really good. I went to the knee doctor and he said I am almost ready to start getting back into sports. 1 1/2 more months and I cant start working my way back in! woo! it has been a long 4 1/2 months to this point though, no doubt. I also got fitted for my brace which is exciting for me because it kind of symbolizes being normal and able again. Able to run and jump and play sports. Woot!

I am a little upset I did not get to see my brother or sister-in-law though. They were supposed to come see us on Friday night but bailed. And I love them both, but they always make up some excuse and bail on us. It gets old and I miss them :/ Not to mention Kassy, my sister-in-law, is gonna be givin birth to a little baby girl, Lilli, very soon! I wanted to see her before because she will probably have the baby in the next week or two. But, all in all it was a great weekend!

Registration

Ah, the joys of being a freshman. I registered today, the last group to get to register. I understand the way it works, big dogs get to go first and us little fish have to go last. I can agree with that thinking, but it still sucks. This morning I went to register and 2 of my classes I wanted to take were already full. I can't tell you how frustrated I was. One of the classes was being taught by one of my favorite professors and I was really looking forward to having her again and the class really just interested me, so I was upset when I couldnt get it. Another class also sounded like a fun class and that was full. Guess I'll just have to suck it up and try to get it for the spring semester.

I am however, very glad to have gotten a majority of my classes. I am so relieved now that I have taken care of it and am set for next year. I cannot believe I am about to be a sophomore in college. It is mind blowing to me. I am excited but nervous at the same time. I am going to be extermely busy next school year because I will have alot of stuff like observation and interacting with little kids outside of class time. I cant wait.

April Showers Bring May Flowers

WOOOOOOOW!! It is April 21st. This month has absolutely flown by at an incredible speed. With only about two weeks of school left, I feel as though there is nothing left to do but wait for finals to creep up on me. Everything is winding down and many of my professors have stopped doing some much lecturing and have started focusing on what we will need to know for the final.

A whole lot of excitement has come with the end of April. Kassy, my sister-in-law is now dialated 1 cm and is effaced 30%. Now, I don't know what effaced means, haha but it means she is getting close to poppin Lilli on out of there. I am soooooo excited to be an aunt and I hope I get a summer full of little miss Lilli. Also, the end of this month means I can get a new phone! woo!!! haha I love getting new phones so this is gonna be amazing.

All is Love

So I'm sitting here at 8 til 3 in the morning and I am not happy about it. But, that is the lovely part of procrastinating. You stay up late and are sleepy the next morning. I am working on my second speech for comm and to be honest I'm not as confident about this one as I was the last one.

But, its all good. I am chillin, jammin out to Emily Elbert. She is amazing and you should check her out. Very chill and not to mention an amazing guitar player. My favorite song of hers is called All is Love. It is pretty much amazing and puts me in a great mood. Annnnd, to make things better, I'm chillin with my buddy Jameson :) super cool dude. But anywho, it's late and I would like to get a little sleep so I'm out like shout. Yes, I just said that and I can get away with that becuase I'm awesome.. haha.. until next time...

School

School is good. School is almost over. School has flown by very quickly. This semester has been a great semester. I have made some really good friends and have lost contact with some people I was close to last semester. I would say that the friends I made this semester are probably better and more real friends than the ones I made last semester though. I'm going to miss them over the summer.

School is never gonna end. School feels like it will be a part of my life forever. I am taking summer school this summer and I;m not all that excited. It isnt going to be that bad, but it's still school. I guess it's just a couple more hours to the end of my school career though. Bring it on.

yup yup

This week has flown by, which is a GREAT thing. One less week of school after tomorrow! woo!! It has also been a bit of a nervous week. My sister-in-law had a little pregnancy problem scare. She went for a reagular baby check up and they found her amniotic fluid was low and that if it wasnt back up to normal in a few days they were going to induce labor. They put her on bedrest for a couple days and at her check up yesterday they said it was back up. My grandma also found out she has a left bundle branch block. It is a heart condition where a part of the left part of her heart is blocked and wont let the electiricty through to make the left ventricle contract. It is a pretty serious condition because it is making the right side work harder to send signals to the right as well as the left ventricle. And, on top of that today she had total knee replacement surgery. She's an old little lady, but she sure is a tough little blue haired woman.

Other than that, everything is good. Made a 94 on my history test and a 91 on my speech in comm. I was hoping for a few points higher on the speech, but thats a good grade. I'll just have to kill the next speech fa sho. Oh!! I ordered some Toms and I'm super siked!! cant wait for them to come in!!

Bliss

School is slowly coming to an end and I am super excited. I am trying to get a job at the humane society in Fort Worth and on Wednesday I sign up for summer classes and sign my summer away. It shouldn't be too bad though since I am only taking 2 classes per summer session.

The past two weeks have in a way sealed up all the stress and work for my classes until finals. I have no more tests or anything until finals with the exception of one more speech in my communication class. That won't be a big deal though, I'm confident.

Another great thing about the school year winding down is that I will soon be an aunt!!!! My sister-in-law is due just about the time school ends, assuming the baby does not come early. I am SOOOOOOOOOO excited and cannot wait for baby Lilli to be here. I am just really looking forward to the summer and all the highs and lows it will bring!

This weekend

Friday afternooon I will be hitting the road for good ol Crowley!! Woo! Can you say, "exciting!"? haha. I actually do have a pretty fun weekend lined up, not sure of all the exact details, but definitly going to have a good time. I am going to see my best friend which is always a blast, see some friends from high school I havent seen in a while (hopefully) and chill with my mom which is my favorite and hang with my dad a little. I really hope I actually get to see my brother. He always punks out and him and my sister in law make excuses all the time of why they cant come. So hopefully, they actually do what they say cuz I miss that guy.

I also get to mow the law. But its cool because its a riding mower!!! haha.. it is the first riding mower we have ever have and I'm not gonna lie, I'm like a little kid on that thing. I also get to see my two big beautiful baby girls. I miss my dogs so much when I am away for a long time. They alsways seem so excited to see me when I get back and I love it!

I wish...

The one thing I really wish I could change about myself is the fact that I am so shy. I always wish I would talk to people who I feel are pretty cool people. I always meet people in my classes that I think would be good friends and who seem like really unique and fun individuals. Every now and then I will make some small talk with the people I am drawn to, but I never follow it up with more or deeper conversations. I dont know what I am so scared of.

The fact that I do this makes me feel like I miss out on people. So many people in this world have so much to offer and are very fun individuals. I feel like I miss out on knowing them and like I'm missing out on possible friends. I dont know what is so stinking had about saying, "hey how's it going? How was your day?" and going from there. I find it ridiculous that I cant do that. Hopefully, this will change one day. We'll see...

WOO!!!

This week has been CRAZY stressful and busy. Luckily, it is almost over and my responisibilities for the week are just about done. Instead of writing my Hamlet paper, I decided to take a blog break. I did not really feel all that stress, but I felt like I should be stressed if that makes sense hah. I think I killed on my history test. I was all over those short answer AND the essay. Four pages and I legitimately knew what I was talkin about. It's amazing how much easier it is when you read what you are supposed to. I felt like I did really well on my speech today and I made a 90 on my CJ test!!! I'm sooooooo pumped.

This weekend should be very relaxing and is without a doubt much needed. I have a friend coming to visit me from Tech and I'm going to take her to my favorite resturant, my favorite places, and to San Antonio. It is gonna be a blast!
