My body feels like a noodle...

I have to say that it has been awhile since I have done two fencing practices in one day. Yesterday I had two fencing practices and today I had two fencing practices. I know that we have fencing practice tomorrow, but I don't know if we are going to be having two times or not. I really hope that we don't have it twice because my body is really tired and sore.

This morning all we did was play soccer for like two hours because the coaches were having a meeting, but tonight we will actually fence. Yesterday we actually fenced both times. My feet are soooo sore because all of my caluses have gone away over break, or were slowly healing so the tough skin that I had in the begining of the year is kind of gone and it sucks. It hurts just to walk, but oh well. I have to deal with the pain to get better. This way when school starts I won't be too sore since I will have been fencing. I will have a head start on some of the people that haven't been to fencing. Lets just hope I survive until next week.

Last night Micki and I went shopping at Target. Her parents got her a $100 gift card for xmas. We bought some storage things for the closet and some metal rack things for out in the living area to go against the one wall when u first walk in. We were going to go to the movies, but we made it a building night instead. Well I didn't really put any of the stuff together, but Micki did. So tonight we are going to go to the Drexel theater to see We Are Marshall. I think it's going to be a really good movie. I will let you all know how it is.

Angie and Brian stoped by so I could give them Kristin's xmas presents. They only stoped for a little bit becasue they were running behind schedule. I think Kristin will like her xmas gifts.

So now I'm sitting at younkin being bored. I worked at younkin on wednesday and yesterday, but there were people from FTAD so it wad kind of weird just sitting here with them, but they are not here today so I have no one to keep my company. Oh well, that is life. So I'm trying to keep myslef from being bored because I have to work until 5. I think this weekend I might go to JoAnn fabrics to see if I can get a fabric that is close to my fie fencing jacket to put on the back so I can get my name embroydered(sp). If I didn't already have my name stencled on the back of it, then I would need to find a piece of fabric. I'm guessing that I'm not going to find the kind of fabric that I need and I'm not going to be able to get my jacket embroydered...oh well. I don't really need to get it done, but it looks alot nicer than the stencle and it won't fade either. My dad promised me that if I made it to the second round in Richmond, which I did, he would let me get my jacket embroydered. So we will see if I have any luck.

Other than that, not much else is happening execpt that I really need to clean my room. I need to put the clean clothes away and get ready for the school year so I can actually have a place to do homework and stuff. I know I say this every quarter, but I'm going to try really hard to say organized this time. I just need to start off organized and then I think I will stay organized. One nice thing is that I don't have any evening classes so I will have all evening after fencing practice to get my homework and studying done. Since fencing practice is from 2-5, I will have the whole evening to get stuff done. Normally in the past I have always had to take atleast one evening class because fencing practice was from 9:30-12:30 and that was when alot of my class were. I'm still going to be late to practice three days a week because my one class for textiles and clothing is from 1:30-2:18, but coach already knows. I have to take this class otherwise I won't make college progress and I will be ineligable to fecnce and that would be no go...

Well I think I have rambled on enough for now. Sorry if this post jumped from one thing to another. I'm just really bored and just typed what ever came to my head. So until next time....ttyl

Off To Bed Bath And Beyond...

Today so far hasn't been very productive. I woke up around 11ish and I have been sitting here on the couch watching tv and being on the computer. I have decided that I'm going to get up off of my ass, take a shower, and go to Bed Bath And Beyond to use the coupons that I have. When I come back I"m actually going to decorate my christmas tree that I have been putting off. For what reason as to me not decorating my tree, I don't know. Although I might do some more shoping because I still need to get a christmas present for Garland and Eileen....what to get them is the question. I think I know what I am going to get Eileen, but I have no idea what I am going to get Garland. She has gotten harder and harder to shop for. I think that is because I don't spend as much time around her like I used to. Hopefully I can figure something out before christmas. Anywho, this is going to be a short post since I need to go and shower and then go to Bed Bath And Beyond...I will maybe post later when I get back from shoping and decorating my tree....so until next time...ttyl!

Bored.....

I have been really bored that past few days. I guess it's because I don't have a job or school going on so I really don't have that much to do. I did do a little running around today. I went to the post office and to the ups store for my dad, and then I finished part of Micki's christmas present. I still need to do christmas shopping for other people. Tonight my dad has to go to the mall and he asked if I wanted to go. I think I will go so I can get some shopping done. Other than that not much has been happening. We got our christmas trees on saturday and I helped my dad bring them in the house, yesterday I watched the Steeler game in the family room. I have had a pretty boring break so far. Nothing too exciting. I guess I have been in a weird mood lately and I don't know why....I guess I'm just thinking about too many things, but hopefully once school starts things will be better because I will have things to keep me busy. I go back to school on the 27th because I have to work at younkin on the 27th, 28th, and the 29th. I don't know what I'm doing for new years. I guess I will probably just hang out in my apartment and have a tost with Micki at midnight unless we go somewhere around town. If anything else comes up I'll post it. I think I am going to make some pasta becasue I'm kind of hungry. So until next time...ttyl!

A day of shopping...i think...

I have decided that once my parents leave this afternoon for their christmas parties for work, I think I am going to go shopping, but I'm not sure. I still need to do my christmas shopping for people. I might just get a few things. I have been working on two christmas presents so far, one for my parents and one for micki. I'll post a little later after I go shopping to tell you all how much fun it was...lol...so until next time, ttyl....




Ialwaysdothingswrongandicantchangethoesthings.idon'tmeantodothingssowrongtheyjustkindofhappen

I did ok in Richmond..

We got back last night around 8:30pm from Richmond, and this is how the weekend went

We left around 11ish on saturday morning and got to Richmond around 5ish. After we got there we checked in and then my dad and I went over to get all of my stuff checked out. After that we went to dinner and then came back and watched the end of the heisman trophey award....After that I just laid in bed and eventually went to sleep.

The thing that sucked the most for this weekend was that my registration was from 7-8am....which my brain doesn't function much before 10am as it is. So I went over and got registered and had a lesson from Sasha. My aunt drove from Willimsburgh which is about an hour away to see me fence. At the begining of this trounament I was ranked dead last, 106. I started off ok in the pools. I beat the easy girl first and then my second opponent was Amy Orlando who is a beeeeeeeeeeeep...but we will just leave it at that. No one on our team really likes her. So I had to fence her second, and I ended up beating her in over time 5-4, and let me tell you, she was pissed. I felt pretty good after that bout, I though I would win atleast one more. I was in a pool of 7 mind you. Well, I ended up losing three of my bouts 4-5, 2 of them being in overtime and I lost the other one 3-5. I was really mad after pools because I didn't think that I would make it with only two wins.

After only like a 10min. wait, they posted the results and the de tables. I ended up tieing for 71st. Amy Orlando didn't make the cut. They drew the line right above her name. I just kind of laughed because I can't even begin to count how many time sthat has happened to me. So I won my first de. I was wining after the frist period 9-4, or something like that. Then something happened and she started to catch up. The final score of the bout was 15-13. Then I had to fence another de, and I lost that one. The girl that I lost to, her name was Lawerance. She fenced with a french grip and I don't like to fence people that have a fence grip just because it's alot harder to judge distance of how far you actually are from them. In the begining I was keeping the score tied 5-5. Then after the break she figured something out and ended up wining I think 15-11 or 9...somethtime like that. I was soooo mad at myself. She was ranked number 2 at the begining of the tournament and I think she was quite surprised when she fenced me. I think she thought that I would be an easy win, but she was wrong. I put up the best fight that I could.

In the end, I came somewhere in the top 64 which is not bad for my first national tournament like like 2 years. Hopefully I will do even better in the NAC that is in columbus in January. We left around 3 and then had dinner when we got home. What's funny is that I don't remember going to bed after dinner. I had taken some Nyquil because I am sick and I cough alot at night. My dad said that I had heard him eatting ice cream and that I came down after he was done eatting his ice cream and asked to have some. Then I supposidly went up stairs and ate it, but I don't remember that at all. My mom says that when she went to bed she took off my glasses, turned the tv off, turned off my light, and closed my door. I was out like a rock.

I got up around 10ish this morning and had a late breakfast with my parents and then around 11:45 my dad took both jeeps to get cleaned at clean town usa becasue they were filthy(sp) and we had to pick the dog up. I took the dog home so that my dad could to to Wallmart and now I'm sitting here writing this blog. I think I am going to stop here becasue if you made it this far you are probably tired of reading what I have to say. So until next time.....ttyl

I'M DONE WITH FINALS!!

After a very long week, I am finally done with finals and I'm happy. I'm leaving to go home on friday. What time I'm leaving I do not know yet. Then saturday I am driving to Richmond for the NAC. Then on the 12th I'm going to chicago with my mom. I can't wait.....Other than that, that is about it....

On a side note I wish I would quit making people mad at me but I always seem to mess things up when they are getting good. I'm sorry for what I said and I hope that you can forgive me. I have deleted the blog and I promise that I won't say anything like that I again. I really do want to be able to see this person for new years, but I understand if you won't let me again.....sorry again... :(

And my early x-mas present is.....A NEW CAR!!!

Today was a day of surprise....here is the stoy from start to finish:

I woke up today around 8:30 because my dad was going to look over my powerpoint. Well he wasn't home when I woke up because he had to go into work. So while I was waiting for him to get home I had some bread for breakfast. I wasn't going to eat too much because when my mom would get back from getting Kathy, she was going to bring my home bruger's bagles. So once my dad gets home around 9:30ish he started to work on my powerpoint. I didn't realize what time it was because I needed to take a shower so we could take my bike over to get fixed at 10. So I went to take a shower and then we left. My dad and I were hoping that when we got home, my mom would be back from picking up Kathy. Well she wasn't. So I watched tv for a little bit. My mom finally got home a little bit after 12, then we left. We had to go to barnet gurage to have the jeep checked over because last week one day the jeep didn't start and eliton wanted to look at it. On our way there I was like "I want to test drive a jeep compass", and my dad kept saying that they wouldn't have them and stuff like that. So we get there and I ask if they have one. They say no...but were joking with me. A few seconds later someone told me to come out to the show room. I walked by this one jeep and I was like, "Is this the new jeep compass" and they said yes. I was happy because I would be able to test drive it. I go around to the front of and there was a sold sign and I was like, "no, it's sold". Then my mom tells me to just go and sit in it. My dad comes out and says it's your car happy early christmas....I was like are you serious...I was just speechless. I was soooooooooo excited. They had put a big white bow on the antenna. It's a red 2007 jeep compass, and very nice. So I'm still in disbelief that it's MY car. I think it will hit me on sunday when I got back to school with the car myself and without my dad. So that was the biggest part of my day.

Then on our way to grove city prime outlet mall we had lunch at this nice resturant called the iron bridge. Then we went to the outlet mall. I only bought soccer socks for fencing. My mom was looking for this certain kitchen store to buy me new knives, but it wasn't there. Then my dad and I left in the new jeep, and my mom was in the old jeep taking Kathy home. My dad and I stoped at giant eagle to get food for dinner, and then we came home and now I'm sitting here putting up this new blog....anywho....that is all for now. So until next time...ttyl

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Today I was fat and happy. I actually got to sleep in for once. I got up around 11:30. I took a shower and then my dad made some scrambled eggs and english muffins, which was very yummy. Then after my mom took her shower, we went ant got Kathy and came back. This afternoon I FINISHED my cs&e final project. My dad is going to look over my powerpoint tomorrow morning, but for the most part it is done.

Let me tell you...dinner was amazing. I miss my dad's good food while I'm at school. For starters we had shrimp bisc soup and then for our meal we had capon, mashed potatoes, yam potatoes, some vegetables and stuffing. For dessert we had crembule(sp)...it was good, but not sure I like that all that much. After dinner we took Kathy home and then I have been on the computer since I got home and watching tv. This is going to be a short post because I'm about to go to bed becasue I have to get up early to do things tomorrow and we are going shopping at the grove city outlet mall. So I will post more later...until next time....ttyl

Ouchies....

So yesterday I stoved my finger. How I stoved it is really stupid. Micki was going to hit my ass last night and I went to block her from doing so and my ring finger on my left hand went into her arm and I just fell to the floor the pain was soooo bad. Luckly it's not broken...well that's what Todd says. Sometimes it annoys me how much he sometimes doesn't care about things and just waves them off. My nuckle is like two times the size it should be and it hurts to fully straighten my finger out and it hurts to bed it fully. I'm hoping that by taping it, it will get better sooner than later. The good thing is that I have yet to bang it on something. You know how when you hurt something or have a cut, you always seem to bang it on something or re-cut it.....well I have lucked out so far.

Tomorrow is going to be along day. Even though I don't have any classes, after fencing practice I need to hurry, take a shower after Eileen and get to campus. I have sooo much to do as far as homework. I'm also having trouble on my final project for my CS&E class. So hopefully I will be able to meet with my TA and he can help me out. I also have to do my reading for my english class. We are starting poetry so hopefully the reading will go by fast. I also need to start to recopy my psychology notes because the notes that I take in class are a mess and are not good to study from. There is also an extra credit paper that I need to start for psychology. I need all of the extra credit that I can get! So hopefully if I can get alot of this stuff done tomorrow and not get distracted by things, I can get alot of stuff done. When I go to campus, I think I will bring my laptop and my headphones so I won't get distracted by people at younkin.

One other thing that I'm pissed about is that all of my teachers have cancled class execpt for my english class that is at 1:30. My 5:30 and 7:00 class have cancled. My english teacher says that if she has to be on campus on wednesday, so do we.....No one is going to be in class on wednesday. It's going to be kind of funny. I mean, I will be there because I already told my dad that she is not going to cancle class. If she would cancle class, I could leave at like 1:30 to go home. My dad would just leave earlier. Then we would be able to avoid the work traffic that we are going to get stuck in. The reason we are going to have class is that we have to have 14 quizes. We already had the two days that we didn't have a quiz. So in order to fullfill the 14 quizes, we have to have a quiz every class from now until the end of the quarter. What I'm hoping for is that not many people will show up so she wil ljust give us all 10's on the quiz or give us extra credit for coming. It's going to be such a boring class. I would skip, but I also would have a guilty conscious about not going to class......oh well, I can't change it.

Anywho, I'm getting sleepy and I need to go to bed. Kristin you should be proud of me for how often in the past few days that I have been posting. Maybe I'm going to be starting a new habbit...we will see....so until next time.....ttyl!

Wow....posting after ONLY 3 days...I think that's a record

This might be a first for me in awhile. I'm actually putting up a post that isn't after a week or two has passed...lol...So today I have been somewhat successful. I got up around 11ish. I woke up with a headache which was not fun. I had to fix my bike. A long story short, there was a screw hitting the back tire so I had to take the tire off to tighten the screw, go to the hardware store to get some thing to unsrew the breaks so I could take the tire off and had to buy a nut and a washer. I was able to tighten the screw and put the tire back on. Now the only problem is that it doesn't seem like the bike is shifting correctly, but I will leave that for the bike store when I go home on wednesday. I don't want to mess my bike up anymore than it is because I don't know all that much when it comes to fixing bikes.

So yesterday I went to the OSU vs Michigan game. Let me tell you, it was AMAZING!!!!.....Ok, here is the story about yesterday. I woke up around 9:30ish and got to campus around 10ish. I was looking around for scalpers and at first wasn't having much luck. Then I decided to wait by Woodruff and the the entrance pathway to the stadium. I found a scalper or rather the group of scalpers. The one guy had two and I said all I have was $220, and he was like "have a nice day" and that was that. So then I was standing next to the bushes and there was this guy named Ty who had bought tickets from a scalper for $600 a piece. I was like "I'll buy one for $220 and he said no, but we were still talking. He said to me that if he didn't sell the tickets (because he was trying to get better seats even though they were in A deck on the open end) we would go in together and sit there. Well he ended up selling the tickets. So then I was standing around holding up one finger trying to see if anyone would sell me their ticket. I had been standing there for awhile and I decided to call Patty to see if her parents were still going to the game....while I was on the phone with Patty a guy or rather a student came up to me and asked me if I needed a ticket. And I was like ya. He asked me if I had a student ID and I said ya. He didn't even ask me how much I would buy the ticket for...all he said was "do you want the ticket for $200"....I was like ya. He said that he couldn't upgrade it or he didn't have time to....so that is why he sold it. So I got the ticket and I was waiting around for Ty. Ty and I had made a deal that If he got two more tickets we would just go in together and then I would sell my ticket and give him a little bit of money. When he game back he still didn't have two tickets so I told him that I was going to go home and put some warmer clothes on. When I came back, he had bought two falcuity/staff tickets. The guy that he bought them from said that you wouldn't need an ID to get in, but I knew that you would. Ty wasy going to try to sell these tickets yet agian....I think because he thought he could still get better ones..idk...so he was going to sell them for $1000 for the pair to these two guys. He said that he would walk up to the gate with the guys just to make sure that they didnt' need an ID. Well I was right in the end because they needed an ID to get in. So Ty sold the two tickets to a scalper and lost some money on it....Durring this time I had people offering me like $300-$400 for my ticket. Everytime I was like I'm not sure that I'm selling because I really want to go to the game. Ty ened up not being able to get two tickets so I went to the game.....I had a great time. It wasn't until later that evening after I told Micki my scalping stroy and how much that I was offered that I realized I should have sold my ticket when the one person offered me $400 for it because I could have used the money to pay off my creidt car. Ya I'm kicking myself for not selling the ticket, but at the same time I'm glad that I went to the game.

Later that evening Micki and I went to Wall Street because it was traffic jam. We stayed until about 12:15ish and then came home and went to bed

I just realized that the steelers are playing and right now they are losing 10-0 to the BROWNS of all teams. So I'm off to watch the game....until next time...ttyl

Being Bored...

Not much has really gone on in the past few days execpt for school, fencing, and saturday being my last day at express.

Right now I'm siting outside of Micki's classroom becasue I have to go the doctors with her. I have to admit, it's kind of boring just sitting here. It I couldn't get internet, I think I might fall asleep. I think she gets out at 2 so that's only like 20min away.

My next biggest thing is that I'm trying to get one maybe two tickets to the OSU Vs Michigan game. I was trying ebay for a bit, but I always got out bided and I wasn't going to spend more than $300 for two tickets. So today in practice I asked Alex Delany (an epee fencer) if he had a ticket to the game. He said yes and then I asked him if he would want to sell it to me. He said no, but then I said I would pay $100 for it...he was still kind of hesitant so I said $150. He said he would tell me at the end of practice. Well the end came and he said yes....I don't really care where he seat is. Ya it would be nice to be close, but he said that he is in like section D. Really....from the few games that I have been to, the higher up you are, the better you can actually see the game. So I'm not going to complain....I just have a big smile on face. I did post something on ebay before I had asked Alex about a ticket saying that I was looking for one or two tickets to the game. This guy e-mails me and we have been talking. He has 8 tickets that he wants to sell. At first he told me $250 for each and I was like I have $200-$250, $300 max for two. Then he said $400 for both, but I still don't have that much money. I know this guys seats are better, but I'm all about the cheapness. Unless he emails me and says that he will sell me 2 tickets for $300 or something like that then I'm just going to stick with Alex's ticket. It sucks that I can't get a ticket for Micki. I'm still kicking myself about not buying season tickets at the beginning of the year, but oh well....I am going to buy them next year though. Hopefully there is going to be someway that Micki will be able to go to the game, but we will see...

I have also started to become a coupon lover...I think I got that form Kristin and my mom. A while ago I signed up for the dispatch, but only for sundays for 26 weeks. I think I might ask for a full year subscription from my parents for like a year just to suday...we will see. Right now though I am saving quite a bit with coupons. If there is a way to save money, I'm all about it.

I really can't think of much else that needs to be said execpt for the fact that my ass is falling alseep from sitting on the groud....but you probably didn't really need to know that. Anywho, I think Micki's class gets out soon so I need to start to pack up. So until next time....ttyl

Randomness..

Well lets see....today I got the flu shot, which I have never gotten a flu shot before but coach was insisting that everyone got one. I got one so that I didn't have to deal with coach. Ya, my arm is a little bit sore, but oh well.

My car engine is offically dead. I found that out last week. Alton thought that it might have just been the oil pump. He put a new one in and the engine still didn't work so he is putting in a used engine that has like 18,000miles on it. It's going to be a hell of a lot cheaper than having Bob Cauldwell fix it. The only thing that sucks is that my rents are not letting me pick it up on friday and I have a ton of stuff that I need to get out of the car, and the car is a mess in general. Oh well...I told my dad that the car is a mess and that they will have to deal with it. My rents will pick me up for thanksgiving and I will get the stuff out of the car then.

As far as work goes....this saturday is going to be my last day. I feel bad because I didn't really put in my two week notice, but I didn't know this car things was going to happen. I can't keep depending on Micki to get to work on the weekends because she works too. Although, I will be getting kind of of job at younkin. When someone needs to call off I am going to be able to be a sub and they pay more than express. I just have to be very careful how I spend my money now since I won't be having a source of income besides what my rents give me. When I do get my car back though, I will work at express again since I will have a way of transportation. Now, if express was like in the shops on lane ave. then I wouldn't have a problem because I could bike to there. For me it will be hard to find a job because I can really only work on the weekends because I have school all of the other days. Rather I have classes back to back on Monday and Wednesday, no class on tuesday or friday, and only one class on thrusday, but my tues. and fridays are spent studying for school at younkin. In theory I could work thoes days, but if I did that then I would not have time to get any homework done.

I also sent Kristin her package on friday and I put something else in there that she has been wanting.

This past weekend I was at Penn State for fencing. I didn't do all that well. There were three rounds of pools and then De's and I didn't make it out of the first round of pools. Then they had a consilation round for the losers. There were a total of 70 woman epee'est and they cut 30 after the first round and I was 46...go figure. It is my fault that I didn't make it because I didn't actually start to fence good until the last two bouts of my pool and that was a bit toooooo late. There was this one girl however....that I was fencing. I was winning 3-0 and she ended up coming back and making it 3-3. There was 7 seconds left and I was going to wait it out to go into the extra minute. Well that guy that was keeping track of time, I don't think he was really paying attention to when time had elapsed because he hesitated as to when she scored. I know that the 7 seconds was up before she hit, but whatever. So then I fenced in the consilation round. I did pretty good that round, I won my first two De's and then lost my 3rd one. The stupid thing was, was that she was a really easy fencer and I lost. The other part is that she was from Drew University and my ex-boyfriend paul was there and he is her teammate. He really wasn't cheering for either of us because of the situation. So while I was fencing her, she completly steped on the top of my foot(I think she did it on purpose). I tried to do a retreat and I pulled my ankle. Now I have a small ankle sprain, but I should get better soon. Shura made it through all three round and to De's. She lost her De to get into the top 8, Elyse didn't make it out of the 2nd round of pools.

Since I had to work on sunday, I drove back with eileen and shrua. Eileen had a jazz concert to be in and shura had to work too....So after we were all done we drove back. Eileen drove for about 2hours and then I drove the rest of the way. I really didn't mind driving expecpt for the fact that eileen's car doesn't have cruse control and I have a lead foot. Just put two and two together. I also found out that it was a good thing that I left when I did because someone slashed the tires on The Ohio State University bus....I'm guessing that it was someone from Penn state because they hate us. So on suday I went to eileen's jazz concert and then I went to work. We were doing floorset yet again so I didn't get out of there until like midnight.

I think I have rambled on enough...that is if you even got this far, so until next time....ttyl

I'm a bad blogger...i know, but here is what is new

Ok, so I know it's been awhile and as Kristin has told me many times..."i'm a horrible blogger" and i'm not going to deny it. So here is what's new.

School has started and it's just been busy as hell. Fencing still takes over my life every week, but the only way to get better is to keep fencing. My classes are going good. I had a psychology midterm last week and I only got a D+. The thing that pisses me off is that I really studied for it. Granted, I had lost my notebook with all of my sloppy notes that I was in the process of recopying...So I only had like three or four pages of the notes that were actually already done in the other notebook. See, I lost my notebook in a sense. I had left it next to my seat because after our quiz on that wednesday I left becasue Micki's dad went into the hospital. When Micki and I went to go and study at younkin I was like SHIT!!!...and I realized that I had left my notebook in my classroom. The good part to this story is that the guy that I was sitting next to picked it up. The bad part is, is that I didn't get my notebook back until the following monday so I only had two days to recopy my notes and study them. I think had I not lost my notebook temporarly and was able to study all weekend, I would have done better. What's even funnier(if that's a word) is that the second time I took the practice midterm, that is the score I got on the actual midterm. I'm still pissed about it, but I know that I just need to work harder and study more for for the next midterm and not loose my notebook...I think that will help alot.

One other thing that I need to rant about psyc is the stupid experiments. I had looked in the beginning and most of the experiments you to of been contacted for from when you filled out some rep forms on the first day. So I didn't think they would post anymore for awhile. I was looking last night and there was this one where you had to haver perfect vision or corrected vision. I had e-mailed the guy and told him I had glasses and if that would matter. He said that would be ok. Take in mind, I got this e-mail around 9:30 when I got home from class. When I went to go and sign up for it, it wasn't there anymore because it was filled. Then there was another one that I was checking the date on the calander and the times and when I went to click on enroll it filled up. No joke...I took no longer than 30seconds. Then after practice there was another one that would have been at 12:30 or 12. I was debating because I would miss some practice. Again...no more than 30seconds, both were gone. So now I'm constantly checking ofr new experiments becasuse I really need to start to do some. So enough about that...

The other day I cleaned most of my apartment and it has actually been staying quite clean.
So far no ones mess has stayed on the floor, and the dishes have been getting put in the dishwasher. Maybe this is a start to a clean apartment....who knows.

So last night we brought our kitten over becasue she was going to get all four of her claws declawed(tear). I had brought her out in the living room and put her down on the floor. She started to walk towards the bunny cage and when she got close enough the bunny jumped sideways halfway up her cage and went around in circles....this then for scared the crap out of the cat and she went sprinting into my room. Her tail was no joke like two inches wide from her hair. I felt soooo bad. She was scared for awhile and wouldn't come out. Eventually she came out but remaind causious the rest of the night but she stayed in my room. She actually slept with us last night which was nice because when we first got her she always slept with us until she went to Mick's parents house. This morning was sad when I had to take her to the vet because she was going under the knife to get her claws removed....I hope everything is going ok. She will get to come home on thrusday. Normally she would be able to come home tomorrow but since she is getting all four claws removed, they have to keep her an extra day. Then she is staying at our place until sunday because Micki's parents just spent like $6,000 on new furniture and they don't want to get blood or anything on the new stuff. So just for the few days after while she heals she will be at my place. I still feel bad about making her go through this process, but it will be worth it. Micki's parents or rather her dad said "you know the cat is coming with us to Arizona when we move".....So until next august Micki has time to find an apartment that can have cats so we can keep our leah. I'm sure you have heard enough about the cat.

As far as fecning goes, I have found out that my C03 is good until next august07. So I have decided to start fencing some NAC. I'm going to fencing in the one in Richmond VA in december and then the one that is in C-bus in January. Depending on how well I do, hopefully I can renew my c.....because I don't want it to go to a D07.

The last exciting bit of news is that we are trying out digital cable and dvr for one month free. Time Warner came the other day and they are doing a specail promotion. After the first free month we can decide of we want to keep it. If we do, we can the first 3 months for $83, and after that the first year will be $86, which is actually a good deal. Normally it would cost $108 to get the digital cable, dvr, and internet. So I think that is about it for now. I will do my best to strart to post more often.....until next time....ttyl

A fencing party....

Let me just say this....since tuesday fencing has whooped my ass. Well I mean I am sore, but I'm not as sore as I have been the past two years. The funny thing is, is that I really haven't done that much fencing over the summer so you would think that I would be more sore. Anywho...tonight D-Bass had a fencing party at his place. I wasn't going to go at first because I was tired from fencing and I was also tired from working today. Then I started to watch a movie with Eileen and her mom, "Eight below". It was about sled dogs and a true story....but that's besides the point.

Eileen was going to go to the party after the movie was over with even though her mom was here. So I decided to go. I guess since I normally don't hang out with fencer that I thought I would feel weird at this party, but it was actually quite fun since alot of people were drunk. I really wasn't drunk because I only had three beers and I need atleast five beers to effect me. Then I started to have some water after my fifth beer. So I guess you could say I'm sober because I know what I'm typing and I'm not making mistakes typing....but anywho. I tried to get Micki to come. She was going to come at first, but then she wasn't feeling that well when I got home from work. We had decided that after I got home from work that we were going to go out, but she ended up not going. She also thought that she wouldn't be aloud to come, but I told her that she would be but she decided not to come anyways. I wish she would have come because she would have had alot of fun, but there are always going to be other times where she would have had fun.

So tomorrow I'm going to the Penn State OSU game and let me just say....OSU is going to kick Penn Sates ass. We are going to dominate....I will probably be drunk tomorrow. The only thing that is going to suck is that we have to be at the RPAC at 10am on sunday. Let's just hope that I don't have a hangover..lol....but I probably will....oh well. Micki really wants to go to the game, but she can't becasue she has to work from 10 to 6:30. She asked if she could come in at 7 and get off at 3:30 so she could go to the game, but she wasn't aloud to....So I guess I will have to have fun for her. What's going to suck for her is that from like 3:30 on it's going to be dead in the store because everyone will either be at the game or watching it from home. Stupid managers...lol....

So last night we went out to Union. It was me, Micki, Lydia, Jeff, Ashliee, and someother people. Lydia had just turned 21 last saturday so we got her drunk. She bought one long island ice tea and I bought her 2 more. The sad thing was, was that she had to work at 8am this morning. Supposldy when she went to work she was still drunk or hung over and everyone was making fun of her. I wish I could have been there. That is just what Micki told me. I would take Lydia to the game, but I don't have a ticket for her. I really don't have season tickets, but I bought a ticket off of Micki's friend Katie who sold her ticket to me for $50.....which is not tooo bad, but it's still more than a normal ticket...but I'm still going to have fun no matter what.

Anywho, I should get going to bed because I do want to wake up in the morning and have some fun before the game. So until next time....ttyl

I'm not dead...i promise..

So I know that I haven't posted anything in awhile, but I have been very busy with working at express...Sorry....hopefully once school starts I will be able to post more often. I'm not looking forward to classes starting on wednesday, but I really can't complain because I have had a pretty long summer...well longer than most schools.

So I had to go and meet with my academic counselor today because coach is making me change my schedule. It's either I change my class schedule or don't fence. Well I changed my schedule for now. That is if the insturctor who teaches the tc375 class will let me take that class in congruence with the tc371 class that is the prerec to take the 375. If she doesn't let me then I'm going to have to take the 371 and not fence this quarter. It will suck if that happens, but to me school is more important than fencing. Yes I do want to fence but if I have to make that decision then that's what it will be.

Anywho, this won't be a very long post because I still have to clean my room before my dad gets here and then we are going out to dinner. I did alot of cleaning of the apartment today, but I still have to do my room. So I'm off to go and do that. I would go to fencing practice tonight, but I really need to get my room done before my dad gets here. Hopefully sasha won't be tooooo mad...lol...so until next time...

ALL DONE......but only for a month...

so, i'm offically done for a month w/summer schoool and school in general. i'm sorry oif some fo this doesn't m iake sense b/c i am drunk b/ ci'm celebrating being done w/ school. anywho...i worked tonight. it's was nice to be back at work from not working for two weeks. plus i need the money. then again, i always need of money. florida was great. i didn't 2want to leave on saturday, bu tr i hat to . i wish that we would have three weeks in florida, but we don't. the securty wasn't that bad at all when we left. like it only took a min to get through security. the funnyest thing was that my one bag got the most inspection. i had my xbox in it, an dlots of cables and controlers and food in it. they searche dhte whole hting. tan d then i forgot that i had sandles on. i got new brkenstocks b/c my old ones tha ti had for forever disapppearled and i got new ones. well, they had medal straps on them and they caused me to beeeeeeep through securty. so basically, i got the full works done throght securty. i think tomorrow eileen and i r going ot go and get her called fixed on teh recall and then go shopping. or thater winsow browsing and try things on. it's alwasy fun to try things on when you can't actually tuby themn. anywho....i'm sure that half of this doesn't make any sense so i'm goin to fishish my fifth beer and go to bed b/ ci need sleep. so until next time....ttyl...

Having fun!!!

Well, firday night I went out with Rachel. Well we didn't go out to a club persay, but we did go down to a hotel called the canada house. That is where her family from out of town was staying but they left on thrusday. So we played the 7,11,double drinking game. I didn't get all that drunk. Not even all that typsy. Oh well right? So I didn't get much sleep on friday night. I went to bed around 3/3:30 with the tv. I woke up around 6:30 and turned the tv off and then after that I would fall back asleep, but I couldn't stay asleep. I hate when that happens. So once we got up, we left Rachel's boyfriend's apt and drove back to the canada house to clean up the rooms. Then Rachel drove me back to the Native Sun. That is where we are staying.

So for most of the day I was a lazy bum...like a major bumm....all I wanted to do was sit on the couch and watch tv. I asked my mom if we could go shopping a few days ago and she said that we could go yesterday. So around 2:30 she came in a took a shower and around 3 we left to go shopping. I got two new bathing suits and they were even on sale. I also got some string to make a bracelet and some t-shirst from express.....I love having rents buy you things so you don't have to spend your money.

After we got back I went looking for shells in the ocean. First I saw a really big fish and it scared the shit out of me so I got out of the water. Then eventually I went back in. I was looking for awhile and then I saw a big ass mofo crab and got out. Then on the third time I decieded to go back and. Sure enough I saw the same crab and got right back out and decided that I was done looking for shells. Then I went in the pool for awhile and then I came in and showered, had steak and a baked potatto for dinner and then watched sex and the city with my mom and my aunt.

So that is about it for the past few days. So until next time....ttyl

Another wounderful day...

Today was a nice day until the rain came around 4:45...but hey...i can't complain because I'm on vacation and it was nice alllllll day. So I got up this morning and did what I normally did. I got my poptart, walked down to where you go down to the ocean, but didn't go down today, changed into my bathing suit and then spent most of the day by the pool. I really want to look for shells because I know that there is alot of shells but the water is too rough to look for shells. Hopefully this weekend the ocean will calm down and I will be able to look for them.

So just before the rain hit I decided to go on a walk on the street down to the peer. I didn't get all the far and the wind got really bad so I decided to turn around. I got a little bit wet, but I had my bathing suit on so it wasn't that bad. When I got back I took a shower and now I'm sitting here posting this blog. I think I am going to either help work on the puzzle or do some more reading. I'm guessing that it's going to be working on the puzzle.

Well I think that is it for now. So until next time...ttyl

And the waves won....

So my first day of vacation felt very goood, but I got beat to shit by the waves. My dad and I went out body surfing...or rather I was on a buggy board. There were a few a few times that I actually got beached...or rather I made it all the way back to the shore. I also bought...or rather my dad bought me a skim board. When the waves break on the shore you throw the board down and try to catch it and stay on it. I can get one foot on it...but I can't seem to get the all important second foot down. I still have 13 more days to master it. Hopefully by the end I can get the second foot on for at least a second if ont two seconds...lol. After that I layed back by the pool and did my sudoko book and kept cool in the pool. Then I went in the jacuzzi and then I decided to call it quits for the day. I went to the store with my dad and of course I put stuff in the cart that he didn't want me to get...but he wouldn't buy the stuff that I wanted for snack food if I didn't go with him. Then I came back, took some crazy pictures of my hair because I hadn't taken a shower yet and my hair was crazy. Then I took a shower and then I have been on the computer ever since. I uploaded the pics that I took to my comptuer and eventually I will be putting them up either here or on facebook. Well diner is about ready so I'm going to go and get ready to eat. I will try to post tomorrow but I can probably predict what it might sound like. Got up, went down to the ocean in the morning with my poptart, then stayed by the pool most of the day reading, doing suduko, or doing my homework. We will see. So until next time...ttyl

I'm officialy on VACATION!!!!

I must say, it is nice to be on vacation. I thought this day would never come, but it has. After getting her around 7:30 last night it felt good to be able to walk out of our condo and see the ocean. I wish I could do that at home, but I can't. It rained last night, but I got some really nice pictures of the sun set before it started to rain. I also went cloud happy on the plane. Eventually I will put some pictures up on facebook when I load the pictures to my computer from my camara.

So I got up this morning around 9.....unlocked the pool. Yes, I unlocked the pool. My dad likes to swim laps in the morning before anyone else is awake. So they gave us the pool key and we said teh we wouldl lock the pool at night and unlock it in the morning. After I unlocked the pool and the jacuzzi I walked down to the ocean and put my feet inteh water. It was quite warm, but a little bit rough. I really want to look for shells because I could see that there were alot of shells by the shore, but it was tooooooo rough to snorkle right at teh shore because of how rough the water was. Maybe this afternoon the water will calm down a little bit...but probably not. There are still 13 more days to go and look for shells, which I plan on doing.

Well I should probably go change into my bathing suit and go layout by the pool so I can get some sun. I will try to post tongiht. I probably will be able to because there is not much to do once I come in for the day. So until next time....ttyl

A bad, but good day at the same time...

So this is going to be a quick post...but I WILL post more this evening....So I went to work today at Giant Eagle and then around 10:45 they took me back to hr and fired me...I don't want to go into anymore detail becuse I'm still upset about it and I'm such a dumass for what I did. But the good news is that I have an interview at this other job called Ohio premier at 1..so we will see how that goes. When I get back from that I will write more. Are you happy now Kristin???

Did the weekend come???

I know that it has been awhile since I have posted anything....but I promise that I will start to post more regularly. It seems like the weekend never came because I'm working sooooo much. Since I work on the weekends it seems like one continious week that never ends. I just can't wait for my florida vacation. It will be sooooo nice to actually be able to relax and not have to worry about work. The only thing that I will have to worry about is homework for my online class....but if I can get my homework done before I leave then I won't have to worry at all about my school work and I can leave it back in c-bus. Hopefully next weekend I will be able to relax a little bit since I had requested it off and now I don't have to go anywhere....well I think I will ask if I can change it at Giant Eagle so that I work on firday and sunday...but I will keep it the same at Express and say that I'm "out of town". So besides school and work that is all that I have been doing. I have being doing well at Express. I'm getting better at getting people to sign up for credit cards. There were a few times today that some of the CSL's said that I was doing a really good job. I just try to do my best and try to look busy so I don't get in trouble.

I have been thinking that I am going to change my avability at Express and Giant Eagle and work at Express only on fri, sat, and sun....and then work at Giant Eagle mon-thrus. I keep saying that I'm going to change it...but I haven't yet. Even though I make more money at Giant Eagle I told Express when I first started what my avability would be and I think that is one reason why I was hired there. So I think for now I will keep my avability the way it is and when september comes I will put in my two weeks notice and leave Express and only work at Giant Eagle during the school year.

Well I'm getting tired and I need to get my rest. Tomorrow is a BIG study day for me because I have a midterm on the 18th....so until next time...ttyl

Work...Work...and more Work

I know that it has been awhile since I posted anything, but I have been very busy. All I have been doing is working. I either work one job one day...or both in one day. See, I'm in need of money to pay off my credit card so I have been trying to work extra at Giant Eagle when I'm not at Express. I worked both jobs on monday, and then just Express on tuesday. On wednesday I just worked at Giant Eagle, and then today I worked at Express. Tomorrow I work at Giant Eagle. I kind of want to go in early....but at the same time I need to get some of my school work done because I need to stay ahead and not get behind. I have most of my reading done....but I still have a little bit left, and then I have to take my knowledge check (kc). I also need to start to do the first assignment that is due on the 7th I think...anywho...enough about work...

This past weekend was pride and it was awsome!!!!! Micki, Me, Kelly, and Keela, and some other people met up at Union Station and we had lunch. Then we watched the parade, and got lots of free stuff that they threw out. Let me tell you, you see some quite interesting people in the parade. Afterwards, we walked around comfest and saw lots of neat shops selling things. There was also lost of live music. Once we walked around for about an hour or so, we decided to go back to my apartment to go swiming....Well rather just Micki and Jeff went swimming because once I realized that I got payed from Express last friday, Me, Kelly, and Keela went to Tuttle to get my pay check because I needed money to go out. When we got back from Tuttle, we all went back to comfest...oops...the one thing I forgot to say was that at first just Micki's dad came to watch the parade...and then later after we went back the second time, both of her parents were at comfest and we met up with them. Micki's parents have never been to comfest so it was something new for them. Then Micki, Me, and her partents met everone else back and Union Station. It was sooooo much fun having Micki's parents there because they had alot of fun...they had soooo much fun that they even decided to go to Wall Street with all of us....we would have never of guessed that. There were there for awhile and then they left. We got to Wall around 9:30 and stayed until about midnight or so. It was a good thing that we got there early because after we got there, it got packed. We went outside a few times to get some air and the line no joke was to the end of the block. Once Micki and I left, I was looking in the line to see if I knew anyone. It turned out that I did. I ended up seeing my asl teacher Amy. I haven't seen her since last year at comfest. She was litteraly at the end of the line and she said that it was an hour wait to get in. At that point I would have thought that it was worthless to wait in line for over an hour. Get in past one, and Wall is only open until about 2:30 and you had to pay $5 to get in. No matter if you were over 21 or not. But people were still waiting in line even though they would only be in for like an hour.

But over all, we had an amaizng weekend that was filled with lots of fun and excitement. Now it is time for Leslie to go to bed because I'm very tired and my eyes are falling out of my head. So until next time....ttyl

grrrrr....

so i have tired to post the pictures...they say they are uploaded...but nothing is here....when i get back from work i will fiddle with this some more...for now i need to get ready....sorry

Back to working...

On Monday and Tuesay I worked 9 hour shifts both days at the Express at Easton. I had to help with the floor set. It's kind of funny that they scheduled a person that I has only been working for like 3 days to help with floor set, but it's all good. On Monday I was actually down on the floor for the first part of the day...then for the rest of the day I was up in the stock room helping process shipment.....No joke, on Monday they got over 200 boxes of shipment. Then on Tuesday I was up in the stock room all day steaming....Well the first part I spent going around to each zone and asking if they needed anything, going up to the stock room and finding the item, and then going back down to give them the items.....mind you the Express at easton is huge! When your walking around you really don't think about it, but when you have to walk up and down the stairs over 100 times you realize how big the store is, and I'm glad that our store in Tuttle isn't that big. Then for the second part on Tuesday I was up in the stock room using the steam machine to steam the mens clothing. There was an entire wall in the men's department that had to be steamed, so Lindsey and I split it up. The steamer can hold about 15 items, and it takes 10min for each cycle.....and with the mens cargo shorts, sometimes you would have to steam them up to 3 times because of how they were. So for the second part of the day I did alot of standing around and waiting. Yes they got a drop shipment, in that they don't normally get shipment on tuesday. I was helping a little with the shipment, and then a whole bunch of people came up to help. So when I would go and check on my stuff to get steamed my spot or table that I was using would end up getting taken....So I was just like screw this...I will just stick with the steaming, and that I is what I did...

Yesterday was wounderous....I had a day off and I slept until about noon. I was just soooo tired and the fact that it rained all night and yesterday morning, I could not get up. When it rain's...all Leslie wants to do is sleep because I sleep soooo well when it rains. After I got up I was going to go outside and do my reading for my online class....but I couldn't go outside by the pool to read becasue it was raining. So I read inside. Leslie was also a good girl. I got all of my reading done yesterday and I took my online knowledge check. Micki went to the movies with her friend and when they came back Micki, her friend and I went to the speghetti wharehouse and it was delisious. Then we drove arouund c-bus for awhile and then went back to the apt. We were then going to go bowling. Micki's friend was supposed to go bowling with us, but then she go a call from her friend that he got a new car and he wanted her to check it out. Micki and I thought that was kind of rude...but whatever. It's just kind of funny because her friend has never been bowling in her life. She is from Egypt...so it would have been a fun time for her but she wanted to check out a car instead.

At 11:15 we head over to AMC and meet up with the people that we are going to go bowling with. We all headed to the bowling palace. Micki only bowled one game...but I bowled 3. On my second game I broke 100....I was excited, but Danallia still beat me by a long run...113-130...oh well...Micki took alot of pictures but they are on a desposiable camera so it might be awhile until I can put them up. Once I was done with my last game, Micki and I decided that it was time to leave. We left around 2am...but will still had alot of fun....Kristin, you would of had fun bowling like you alwasy do!

Today is back to work...I work at Express from 2-7, and then I work at Giant Eagle from 11-7:30 on friday, and then Micki and I are going out to dinner to celebrate our one year aniversary. I'm soooo excited. And then it's comfest on Saturday/Pride. We are going to have soooo much fun this weekend. Well I think that is about it...so until next time, ttyl!


ps...I'm actually going to post my pictures...some are very random

Starting to relax

Today was a beautiful day....the sun was out all day and not a cloud in the sky. I guess I slept alot of the day away because I didn't get up until noon. I was just sooooo tired from not getting home until 2:30 this morning and also becasue I didn't sleep very well. But after I got up I was productive. I went to Giant Eagle to get my paystub and to check my work schedule for next week. Go figure, when I went they didn't have my schedule up yet so I had to go back a little bit ago to see when I worked. After I got back earlier I spent the rest of the day painting by the pool. When I paint it just relaxes my sooooo much and puts me in a better mood. Also listening to music while painting puts me in a better mood. It's almost like I go into my own little world and forget what is happening around me. I got most of my painting done, just some outlining to do and to paint the backround. I don't know what I'm going to paint the backround to be, but I will figure it out. After I'm done putting up this post I think I am going to go back out and finish it. Micki just went to work so I will be chilling by myself for a little while. Other than that, not much else has happened today. Oh, I will be seeing the new movie called I think the lake house...it's about a man and a women who fall in love with each other but they are in different years on the same day. In other words, one is in the present and the other one is in the past. I think it's going to be a good movie. Micki is supposed to let me know when they are going to be showing it. And of course...I still miss Kristin. Sometime this summer when I have a few days off, I might try to plan a visit to her...idk yet, hopefully I can work it out....Love ya Kristin!!! So for now I think that is all I have to say...back to painting....until next time, ttyl....

A very sad day

Today is the day that I wished would never come because my best friend is leaving me. She has done soooo much for me, and it's hard to say goodbye. I know she will visit or I will visit her, but it's not going to be the same. Even though we can talk on the phone, or talk on blogspot, it's stll not going to be the same. I will never forget all our fun memories together, and just keep hoping that with the miles between us, we will be able to make more. I still think that she should stay the summer here, as do many of ther other friends and then leave in the fall. I have tried and so have others, but we couldn't get her to stay.....I guess it's what she had to do and it's good to do what's important. Well I know that this is a short one, but it's getting harder and harder for me to write this because it's making me think of her. So when I feel a bit better, I will write some more....ttyl...













Kristin: your like the sister I never had, and you are my best friend ever. I will miss you more than you know!

PS....

When I get back to columbus, I will post some pictures from my b-day dinner

So today I had a wounders day. The only part that sucked today was that I had to be up by 8:45 because my mom and I had to get breakfast, drop off my battery for my camera at ritz becasue I was a dumb ass and didn't bring the charger, and then I had my 11:00 apt. at the spa until 3:00. The day at the spa was amazing...the first thing that I got was a full body massage and that was just wounderous. Afterwards I felt like a noodle and it made me sooooo tired, but that was a good thing. Then I got my hair done and let me tell you, I wish Hector was in columbus. He did an amazing job on my hair. I would have him be my permenent hairdresser, but that would cost alot because I would have to fly to chicago and then I would have to pay for my hair apt. on top of that. Maybe if I come out and visit my mom or somthing I can get my hair done. He made my hair look more natural with the high lights and everything. Then I got my nails done. After I was done my mom met back up with me and we started to shop. I went to Express and bought a pair of jeans becasue when I work at Express I have to ware Express jeans if I want to ware jeans to work....I just think that is retarted. I have nice jeans from the Limited...but NO...I can't ware thoes, oh well. Then we went to Nordstroms and I got a pare of sandles for my jeans/capris that I got from express. After shoe shopping, my mom and I went back to her apt. to rest for awhile. But before I took a nap, I went down to Jewels and bought a Strawberry Daquri wine cooler.....and yes they carded me, but they did say happy birthday to me. After that I went up and crashed on the couch until dinner. I was just soooo tired. I think one reason I was soooo tired was because I was out until 2am this morning getting drunk with my mom, and then being up early was another whole thing.

Now dinner.....dinner was just fabilous!!!!....It was called I belive Brazza, or something like that. You go there, go to the salad bar and they have all sorts of different salad stuff. The salad stuff was quite yummy. Then for the main meal....The main meal is something of it's self. What it is, is they have all of this different meat on these rods and you have this chip that says yes for food, or no for no more food. These servers come around with all of these different meats and you get to sample what you want to. I took a sample of alot of different meats and I was just in heaven. They were out of this world. I also had a fuzzy navel....thanks to Kristin...and some other lime drink that they recomended that was good, but I liked the fuzzy navel better. I was soooo full that I had to take the dessert home and after I'm done putting this post up, I'm going to eat it.

After dinner we came back and it was time to open presents....Leslie LOVES to open presents. I got the stuff that I wanted, but the one thing that I have wanted for a long ass time, I didn't think that I would get it. After I opened all of my gifts, my mom hands me a card and it's a voltswagon beetle bug with flames on it. I read it and at the end it says "ps...ask mom about the deal"....well it turns out that the jeep is offically MY car. Yes it's still going to be under my mom's name for the insurance because it's going to be cheaper, but it's MY car. And for the winter they are going to lease it from me....in that they will give me $50 a week to use the car.....Now don't get me wrong...they really don't have to give me $50 a week to use the car, but hey, I'm not going to complain about it...it's extra money.

So over all, I would say that I had an awsome 21st b-day and I wouldn't change a thing about it. Now it is time for me to go back up to the room, eat my dessert, and then go to bed. So until next time...ttyl

21ST B-DAY!!!!

Ok, so I'm a little bit drunk...if i spell things wrong i'm sorry. it was wounderous being able to go up to a bar and be able to order somethng with out them saying no. i had a cosmopolitan and 2 bombocicles. the bobmcicles were awsome. they tasted like a popcicle. but i think that is hwy i'm so drunk because they had lots of acohol in the drinks. the sad part is that i was with my mom, but at the same time it was kind of funny because i have nefver been drunk in front of my mom let alone my partents befroe. anywho, i should be getting off to bed because i have a nice day at the spa tomrrow and then a day of shopping....so until tnext time...ttyl

So last night before I was going to go to bed, Micki took my picture. I though what the hell....I'll put in up in a post. It's kind of funny. I think it turned out good. Maybe over this summer I will have even more crazyer picures...We will just have to wait and see.





Ok, so here is the story behind this. Yesterday before work I was like Micki, lets go get me a tattoo. She was shocked. She didn't think that I would go through with it, but I did. I don't think I will end up regretting this tattoo because it's just my initials and plus, it's small. Now this doesn't mean that I'm going to go hog wild and get a shit ton of tattoos. This will probably be my only one. If I get another one, it will be my initials on the other side so I'm symetrical, but that's it. Also, it didnt' hurt nearly as bad as I thought it would, which is a good thing. Now Kristin, before you say anything.....I know that I'm crazy and that I need to save money. That is what you are going to say, but I had some extra money, so it's ok. I don't think my parents will ever find out about it because it's in a place that is covered all of the time. If they ever find out, hopefully it's sometime later...Like a few years later. We will see...Well I should problby get back to sudying before I have to work. So until next time...ttyl

Oh the rain...

So today was a nice day....rather hot, but nice. Then this afternoon it decides to poor, which is not a bad thing either because it has been soooo hot. The only thing that sucked was that I had to drive in it. I didn't know that it was going to be sooo bad, otherwise I would have just gone home. I hate driving in the rain when you can't see more than a foot infront of you. All that matters is that I made it back home alive in one piece.

I have my textiles and clothing 270 final tomorrow at 10:30am. I fell like I have studied pretty well for it, but then again I don't want to jinks myself. I always find a way to jinks myself. My plan is to get up around 7 or 7:30 tomorrow and finish studying. I read through all of the lecture notes tonight. I think I will do the same thing tomorrow morning just so that I have everything fresh in my head. Wish me luck for tomorrow.....Now one would think that it being a friday night tomorrow that I would be going out, but no....I have to work from 6:30-12. After I take my final I will be studying all day for my other finals that are next week. I have two on monday and one on tuesday. The reason I have to get alot of studying done tomorrow is because I work on saturday and sunday. My dad asked me tonight if I was working alot this weekend and I told him no. I hate when I have to do that, but I need the money. It's not like I'm not going to study. I will get up before work in the morning....depending on when I'm working and study. I actually get more things done if I set a plan and say I'm going to do something. Me knowing that I have to be at work at a certain time makes me work harder on getting things done before work.

Well, I think I should be going to bed soon....Yes I know it's only 11:06, but I need to get up early. So off to bed....until next time, ttyl....

Time to break out the whip...

So finals are quickly approaching, which means school is going to be out soon. I can't wait. Even though I really want to be done with school, I really need to focus on my finals. Most of my grades are going to depend on my grades that I get on my finals. So in other words, I need to do well on all of my finals. I was good this weekend. I got some of my studying done for my final that is on friday, and I'm going to continue to study for that final tonight. After I finish studying for that final, I'm going to start to study for my final that is on monday. I figure that the more studying that I can get done during the week, the better off I will be this weekend. I'm still going to study this weekend...don't get me wrong on that. I just won't feel as stressed the night before the final. My goal for this weekend is to get up and not sleep in too late study before I have to go to work and then study a little bit more before I go to bed. I think if I study a little bit each day this weekend I will end up being a little bit more successful on all of my finals.

Once finals are over with, I'm going to be sooooo happy...well only for a few days until summer school starts on the 19th. Since I'm taking an online class, I don't think that it will be that bad. I think it will actually be better. Anywho, I should probably go start studying for my final that is on friday....so until next time....ttyl

I'm actually going to be a good girl...

Ok so I have decided to get up early today. I figured out what info my final for my textiles class is going to cover, and now I'm going to change and go sit outside and study. For me, this is a good step because normally I will put off studying until the night before. I think there is a total of like 12 or 13 different lectures. So I figure if I take like three differnt lectures each day and study them I will be better off than if I wait until the last minute to study them. Or what I might do is read through all of the lectures and just keep doing that each day that way I will remeber the stuff becauase it will be more familular. I'm also doing this because I want to be able to go to King's Island on monday and not feel quilty about not studying this weeked.

Sorry this is a short post, but I need to go and find the lecture notes and go outside to start to study. Until next time....ttyl

I hate the humidity...

Well there is something the I can always complain about if it's not about school or work, it's the weather. Don't get me wrong, I'm liking the nice weather and all, but if we could some how take the humidity away that would be great! Well today is kind of rainy looking, but the past two days were nice. So that is what I have to complain about the weather...lol

So I have to work tonight at Giant Eagle from 8:30-12:30....what the hell kind of shift is that? Only 4 hours, and if Trinity (the night cashier) is working, she normally sends people home because she likes to stay busy. So if that's the case, I may only be working until like 10:30 or so, which will really suck, but oh well....atleast it's something. Every bit of money helps.

As each day grows closer and closer to Monday I'm getting more and more excited to go to King's Island. Since Mikci and I both don't have to work on monday, we are going to leave early in the morning to get to the park when it opens. For me, this means that I need to start to study for my finals this weekend since I will be at the park all day long on monday, and I have my one textiles and clothing final on June 2nd. What I will have to do is study a little bit each night. If I can do that I think I will be ok for my final. For my other classes, they arn't until finals week, so I can study a little bit each day next week for them. I know one day during finals week I have two finals, one at 10:30 and one at 1:30, that just sucks major balls....I'm going to go crazy that day...humm....maybe I will pull an all-nighter....no I wouldn't do that, I think I would end up doing worse on the finals.

The good thing is that on June 6th, at 7:30, I will be on a flight heading to detriot, and then to chicago. I will get to spend my 21st birthday with my parents in chicago....Then I come back on the 9th and my friend's back here are going to be clebrating my b-day and I'm sure I'll get pretty fucked up, but I know Kristin won't let me get too drunk. Plus, I know my limits. It just seems that June 7th is sooooooo far away, but really it's not.

Well, I think this is probably a long enough post, so until next time....ttyl


P.S....just stick it!

What a beautiful day

So I know it has been a few days since I have made a post, but I have been quite busy with school and work. I worked all weekend and even on monday because they called me in and I said ok....I'm just too nice at times, but I need the money so I can't complain.

I'm gald that Micki is finally motivated to get in better shape. She has been wanting to get in to better shape and last night we took our first step together in getting into better shape. Last night we went rollerblading in the park on west campus, and then we went grocery shopping for all healthy food, and we were good about the healthy food. I don't think there was anything that we bought that wasn't healthy....well execpt for maybe the flavored ice.... Micki also wrote out what she can eat for each meal. I'm just so happy for her. We are going to get into shape together. This morning we went and rollerbladed again, and when she gets back from class, we are going to go for a bike ride. I am going to try my hardest to keep Micki motivated. I know that we can do it together. Also last night after we got back from grocery shopping we cleaned the apartment....trust me, it needed it badly. I'm going to try my hardest to keep it clean. We also got most of my room cleaned. All I have to do is clean off my desk and pick up a few other things that are one the floor. If I can just get into a habit of keeping things clean, I think I will be able to be good about keeping the apartment clean......lets cross our fingers.

Micki and I decided that on monday we are going to go to King's Island and we are trying to get Kristin and Eileen to go. Kristin is a maybe and well, Eileen says she can't go becasue she has practice....So maybe it will be just the three of us. Now I know I said that I need to save money, but I figured that since I worked all weekend and made alot of money, that I have a little bit extra that I can spend. Plus, the tickets for King's Island are on sale at Kroger. You can either get a 2 day pass for $49.99, or you can get a 1 day pass for $29.99....I think Micki and I are going to get the 2day pass because this monday we will do the rides, and later this summer we will do the water park. I can't wait for monday to come. After working on friday and saturday for sure....and maybe sunday, it will be nice to chill out at the park on monday.

Hopefully when my summer class starts, or when the fall quarter starts, I will be able to keep my stuff more organized. How it is right now is just very unorganized in that I have papers all over my desk and when it comes to studying for an exam, I have to scramble to find thing. My goal for this summer and for next school year is to be more organized. By that I mean never letting my desk pile up with shit and to keep all of my school work in binders. If I can do that, I think I will end up doing better in school.

Now I know I'm jumping around alot to differnt things, I just have lots of thoughts running through my head.....So here is the next topic......I know I said that after last summer I would never take summer school agian because I didn't do well. I think one reason why I didn't do so well was because I took two classes that were both five weeks only and it just moved too fast. We are not going to mention the other reason.....Kristin knows why and I'm sure she will make a comment about it. But this summer I have decided to take one summer class. The big difference is that it's offerd for the full 10 weeks and it's online. I know that I will be working at Giant Eagle and at Express, but I think I will have time to do both school and work. Had my summer class not been offered online, I don't think I would have taken it because I don't think I would have had time to do two jobs and school. I think that it would have been a repeat of last summer and that was no good. So hopefully things go better for me this summer and I can boost up my GPA with this one summer class.....

Well, I think I have babbled enough and you are all proably tired of reading what I had to say, so until next time....ttyl

Why can't the week be monday thru thrusday?

You know, I think that the school week should be monday thru thrusday. They shouldn't be aloud to have class on fridays.....I mean, I just like to sleep in and relax...but no....I have class at 2:30-3:18, and then 3:30-5:18. Then I have to work 6-12:30. I just wish that friday could be part of the weekend. Don't you think that would be nice if we could always have a three day weekend? I do.

So right now I'm sitting in my comfey bed and I don't want to do anything. I just want to be comfey alllllllll day long and not have to get out of bed. I technically would still be sleeping, but I had to get up and take micki her lunch so once I was awake for longer than 10minutes, I couldn't fall back asleep. So I have just been browsing the net tryting to do something. I might try to go back to sleep until like 1 or 1:30, take a shower, and then go to class....We will see.

I'm soooooo happy to have my laptop back....the only bad thing is, is that I think my desktop is messed up too, but that will be harder to fix because I don't think it is still under warenty. Oh well.

It's kind of funny to me...I always say that I am willing to work whenever I can, but I get my hours I'm like "dam, I don't want to work these hours."....it's not that I don't want to work, it's that I'm getting the shitty ass shifts like tonight. See, I would rather work early in the morning and get my shift done rahter than working a mid or evening shift. When I work in the morning, it seems like my shift goes faster. Maybe it's just me.....i don't know, but that is what I prefer.

Anywho, this has been a very random blog I would say. So for now, ttyl...

Can't Sleep...

I'm so excited to have my laptop back.....now I have to fiddle with it to get it back to what I had it at. I'm not tired, so I have decided to put up a post. I had one of thoes days today that just did not start off well.

Basically here it is....I don't remember micki saying goodbye this morning, and then I don't remember hearing my 9:00 or 9:30 alarm. The next thing that I know my phone is ringing and it's micki calling. Had micki not waken me up, I probably would have slept through my bio lecture as well. So I take a really quick shower and then I get a ride from eileen. So I get to my bio lecture and I end up sleeping through the whole lecture. The funny thing was, was that I wasn't really even tired. I slept like a log last night because of the rain. I think I fell asleep in bio just because I don't like the class.

So then after bio I had to go and get my buckid from Kristin and then I got lunch. While I was eatting I had to study for my econ quiz that I was going to have because I was a dumbass and forgot that I had it today....Well I didn't exactly forget that I had it. I remembered last night that I had it...but I got distracted with my laptop, that I never studied. I was going to study this morning for it, but I woke up late. So I think I didn't do so hot on the quiz, but the good news is that they drop the lowest grade.

Then I went to weight lifting. I had a good workout I think. I can tell that I'm slowly getting better at weight lifting because I'm not getting as sore as I was when I first started. I'm also not getting as tired as I used to get. I guess that's a good thing. So after weight lifting I had to rush back change and go to eileen's jazz concert. By going to see her play, it made me wish that I still played my saxaphone....Maybe someday I will pick up my saxaphone agian...who knows. Afterwards we went to woddy's because they were doing a call out kind of thing where they just played random jazz songs. I have to admit, it was fun to see eileen playing her trombone.

Anywho, I should probably be going to bed soon because I do have class tomorrow, but not until 2:30.....the reason I need to go to bed is because I work 6-12:30 tomorrow night....So until next time, ttyl

I Dont Want To Work Today...

Today is one of thoes days that I'm just not in the mood to work, but I have to since I need the money. I only work 4-10:30 so that's not too bad. Right?...but once the day is over, I can change back into my pjs and just relax. Hopefully Giant Eagle won't be too busy because it's raining and yucky out....but then agian I have been wrong about that before.

So last night from about 8:30-11:30 I spent trying to fix my labtop and it's still fucked up, so I took it to Best Buy so the geek squad can fix it. Since that is where I got my labtop and I got an extend warenty with it, I just take it there to get fixed. I think there is some virus on it because I let my nortin expire and wated sooooo long to renew it. I guess that is what I get for waiting soooo long to renew it.

Anywho, I need to go and do the dishes, take the trash out, shower, and pack some food before work. So for now......ttyl...

I Feel Like Ehhhh.......

I guess it's the weather that is making me feel like ehhh...I really don't know. It's probably a mixture of the weather and just the whole situation with Mikci's dad and trying to help her through this rough time. I know that it's hard on her, and I'm trying my best to be there and help her in anyway that I can. Hopefully after today is over things will change and I will get out of this mood that I am in. I really does suck being in this mood because I don't want to do anything execpt to cuddle up under a blanket and sleep because it's raining out. Anywho, this is just a quick post because I have class at 4:30 and it's 4:08 right now and I need to walk to Lazenbey from Younkin. So maybe later tonight I will post something...that is if things change in the way that I feel. So until next time....ttyl....
