Glad to be home...

I'm glad to be back in Columbus after a long weekend in Notre Dame in a freezing ice rink. I just couldn't stay warm. So I got back around 10pm last night to 3-4inches of snow....You have no idea how happy I am to have snow. Even if it doesn't snow any more I'm happy that we had a little bit of snow.

So today I had a quiz in my one textiles class. I was getting a little bit worried this weekend because I felt like I didn't get enough studying done for it. I got up this morning around 7am to look over my notes and to look over the old quizes which was helpful. I still had to go to the actual class because my professor lectures for the first part of the class and then we took the quiz in the second half. So at the break around 9:30am I had to bike my way over to ODS to take my quiz. I think I did ok on it. There were 28 questions worth 2 points a piece, but the quiz was only worth 55 points. So in reality we get one extra credit point. There were only four questions that I had a problem with out of the 28 which for me is not that bad. My luck I am going to jynks(sp) myself....oh well. I was talking to a girl in my other textile class that had taken the 371 course last quarter and she was saying that she would always think that she would do well on the quizes but she would always get B's, but never A's. My professor posts old quizes and from what I could tell they were almost the same questions. But the girl said they may seem the same, but Dr. Jakes always tweeks the questions just a little bit so that they are not the same. Hopefully she posts the grades sooner than later and I will get to find out my grade.

Micki's dad had to go back in to surgery today. He is getting a stint(sp) for his liver taken out and two more put in. When I called Micki after my 1:30 class he still hadden't had surgery. Hopefully everything goes ok. I think it will. I'm going to go shortly to get some food from market place because my tummy is quite hungry because I haven't had lunch yet. After my 8:30 class on my way out from ODS I got a dounut, a brownie, chips, and a drink. I ate evertyhing execpt for the brownie because I was going to save it for my 1:30 class. It was good at the time that I ate the brownie, but my tummy is now really really hungry.....If the line is not long I think I am going to get a number one....and yes Kristin, I still have like 70 or 80 something swipes so don't worry....I will have some left for when you come to visit.

Well I think that is about it for now. I have to give myself props for how much I have been posting lately. I have actually found time to post and I'm not forgetting about my blog. I think that is what has been happening the the past...I forget about the blog. Well off to feed the tummy, so until next time....ttyl!

A Long Day Complete

I have been up since 6am and I got done fencing a little bit before 3pm. I did ok today, but I know that I could have done alot better. There was one bout against Wayne State and Notre Dame that I should have won. I also lost one against Lawerance that I should not have lost at all, but is life. I almost beat Kelly Hurlly. I was behind 3-4, and that I got a single light and tied it at 4-4. Had I just wanted a little bit more, I think I would have beaten her, but there is always the Midwest Championship that I can have a rematch with her. My overall record was 14-6. They were all varsity bouts so they all mattered. I mean I can't really complain about that record because that is a better starting record than last year. The guys fence tomorrow so hopefully they do well

Anywho, I have a really bad headache. I really wish that I had some excedrin to take or somthing, but I don't. I guess I will just get some from my mom when I go out to dinner with my parents. Everyone is going to dinner at 6, so I told my parents to pick me up and we are going to go to dinner. Where I don't know, but we can't go to a real fancy place because I don't have any nice clothes. All I have to ware is sweats and my warm ups. I didn't even think to bring an outfit to go out.....oh well.

So I have a ton of homeowork to do. I need to get a little bit more done on my history paper that is due on the 25th, and I have alot of reading for my textiles class. I have a quiz in there so I really need to get the reading and studying done. Hopefully tomorrow since I'm not fencing I will be able to get some homework done. I mean I want to cheer for the guys, but at the same time my homework is more important. I have decided to do my history paper on the Columbine High School shooting. We have to pick a historical event in our life time and write about how it has changed america. My professor was kind of leaning away from 911 because everyone is going to be doing it. Also the war that is going on....everyone is going to be doing that. If anyone has any other ideas of what I should write about speak now or forever hold your peace. The other events that I have thought about were Okalahoma city boming,Atlanta City olympic boming, Katrina...and I don't think I thought of anything else.

Well I should probably start to work on my homework because I'm using my mom's laptop and she needs to take it back with her tomorrow when my mom and dad leave to drive back to chicago...so until next time....ttyl

IT'S SNOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is real quick, but when I woke up this morning it was snowing....I'm so excited that it's snowing. Even if it's not that much I'm happy that it's snowing because there is a bubble over columbus when it comes to snow. It will probably only be like less than an inch, but that's ok with me. Anywho, I need to get some stuff done before I leave. So until next time...ttyl!

Can't Sleep.....

I don't really know why I can't sleep. I know that I'm tired but I have this energy in me that won't let me go to sleep. Maybe I can't sleep because I'm getting nervous about this weekend. That is what I think. I don't know why I'm getting nervous, but I am. You would think that after two years of fencing in college I would be fine the third time around....wrong. Maybe it's because I'm nervous on how we are going to do since Kaela isn't going to be fencing this season because of her knee and when it first happened she told me to do well for her. I told her that I would and maybe that's another reason too.....I just don't know. The nice thing is that we are getting a free lunch tomorrow from this pizza place. We are all getting subs and they are being delivered to the gym. The other nice thing is that we get FREE money and I won't have to spend that much of it since my parents will be there this weekend. Well they will be there on saturday, but I will be going out to dinner with them so I won't have to pay for dinner which will be nice. When I get back I will post how we did. I'm hoping that we kick Notre Dame's ass....Hey Eileen, what are we going to do to Notre Dame???.....inside joke.

As far as my laptop goes I'm still waiting for them to say that it's a lemon. I called them today and they said that they will probably hear something from the place that it's getting fixed at on saturday and they will give me a call. I really hope I get a new computer because the one that I have now has given me soooooooo many problems.

I did a little bit of cleaning this evening. I did the dishes and managed to get a full sink of dishes all into the dishwasher. My mom taught me well...that's all I can say. I also picked up the living room a little bit. I want to have a clean apartment to come back to. When I get up in the morning I'm going to do the rest of the cleaning like cleaning the bathroom and picking up my room. I think I will have time before I have to be at the gym to do that. I still have to pack for this weekend, but that won't take me very long at all. I can pack in like 10minutes or so.

So when I went to go and get my notes from ODS this evening there was the cutest baby beagle. She was the cutest and most adorable thing ever and it really made me want to get a puppy, but I can't because you are not aloud to have cats or dogs at Colony Club, but you can have rabbits....go figure. Hopefully one day I will be able to get a kitten and a puppy from the humain society.

I really want something to eat right now, but I don't know what I want. I think the only reason why I'm hungry is because I'm awake. If I were asleep I would not be hungry. Maybe I will have a popcicle or something like that and then go to bed because I really need to get a good nights rest because I know that I won't get much sleep this weekend. I'm sorry if this blog had very random thoughts. I was just typing what ever came to my head. So until next time....ttyl!

I can't believe we are leaving in like two days...

Ok...by having the NAC this past weekend my whole week has been messed up. I also think that by having monday off, that is messing with my head too. I don't think that I did that great in the Columbus NAC. I came in like 99th or something like that. I could have done a heck of alot better. I went 2-4 in the pool. I should have been 3-3, but I messed things up. I was winning this one bout 4-0, and in the last like 30seconds or so the girl tied it up 4-4 and then we went into overtime. She won priority and she ened up scoring anyways. I just can't believe that I let her come back. I think I got into one of thoes moods were I was like "Oh, I'm winning...I can just wait the time out"...note to self, don't do that again. I was lucky, I did make it to DE's, but I lost my first DE and that was that. I fenced horribly in the DE. It didnt' help that I rolled my ankle and it got hit yet again. Two fridays ago Noam hit my ankle and that agrivated it then. So when I was fencing my DE I was in alot of pain. This weekend friday we are leaving to go to Notre Dame. We are leaving on friday becasue it's a two day event. Individuals are on one day and then it's team on the other day. I really hope that I start off the season well. I will be able to tell when I start fencing how I am going to do. I just don't want to do the individuals because that will take alot out of me. Lets hope that the individual event is on sunday and NOT saturday. I would rather have more energy for the team event than the individual event.

Other than that, I did not do much else this weekend becasue I was at the convention center like everyday...no joke. Although, last night Micki and I did go over to her friend Justin's house for dinner and a movie. Dinner was really good. We had pasta and garlic bread. I had a second helping of pasta. There was also salad, but I didn't want any. We watched Saw 2. I really don't like scary movies...but I was forced to watch it becasue I told Micki to pick the movie out. The movie wasn't really that bad, just the begining was bad because it had eyes in it and I HATE eyes with a passion. So I guess now I have to see the first one. We will see.

Micki is going to Kent tonight to visit people because she doesn't have to work tomorrow. So tonight is going to be a homework night for me after I get back from practice and after I get my car....Oh.....I completly forgot to metion this. On saturday when I left at like 6:20am to go and pick Shura up to go to the convention center I found out the hard way that my car was leaking from the roof. The water was coming out of the button that you push to turn on the light in the center. I was pissed. So yesterday I dropped my car off to get it fixed and it's done so hopefully I will be able to get it if Eileen will take me to get it....It seems like I always get defective stuff, but that is life as my dad says.

On a side note I was successful in getting a note taker for my history 152 class. When I had asked my freshmen year for a note taker they said no, but I have a new counslor and he said yes. Someone in my class volunteered and they take the notes and drop them off at ODS. I still take my own notes, but it's nice to have because I have trouble taking notes. See, my teacher doesn't use any type of powerpoint or anything like that. He just talks. I'm horrible at trying to take notes when I have nothing to look at and just have to listen. I end up missing alot of things. So we will see if the note taker will help. I don't think that my history class is going to be too hard becasue we have like 3 papers and our final is two essay questions. On the midterm we just have to define like 5 terms and there will be 3 essay questions and he will pick one for us to write about. He will give us the terms and the essay questions in advanced so I should do well on that too. Not that you really needed to know this about my history class, but I just thought about sharing it....anywho, I'm off to go and bike to class...so until nest time...ttyl!

And school has begun again...(i started this on the 4th)

oops...i forgot that I had started this blog....so I will just continue with it and it probably won't make an sense.. Oh well...

Yesterday was the first day of school. It wasn't too bad. I made it through all of my classes. I think my textile classes are going to be quite interesting. I have my history 152 class today at 10 so this might be kinf of short because I have to walk there. I'm hoping that history will go ok considering how much I hate history and I have never been good with it period. Also yesterday I spent one and a half hours with her trying to figure out how to get out of here by spring of 2008. It is possible for me to graduate by spring of 2008, but from now on my quarters will be packed and I will want to kill myself. There is a second option, but that gets me out in like august of 2008 or winter of 2009. (This part is from the 4th)

This weekend is the NAC that is in columbus. I'm kind of excited for it. I get to see my rents and go out to dinner with them. I have to talk to them about my whole graduation thing as to which option we are going to go with. See, it wouldn't be such a problem if I was getting some type of scholarship from fencing. My dad's big thing is paying for school. Being out of sate my tutition is higher and that means we have to take out even more loans if I stay longer than spring of 2008. So we will figure this out this weekend. I'm also excited about having monday off. I might actually be able to sleep in for once. Every day this week I have had to get up early. On monday's and wednesday's I have an 8:30 class so I have to get up early anyways, but the other days I have a 10am class or a 1:30 class and so far I have had to get up earlier than I need to because I have to get stuff done. I'm just really tired and just need a day to rest.

We having fencing practice today, but I don't think that it will be that intense since we have a competition this weekend. My guess is that we are just going to play soccer. I just have to be careful because my knee has been bothering me alot and my ankle is still sore from where Noam hit me last friday. Maybe I will just be a goalie instead of defense. We will see. Well, I think that is it for now because I am going to go and take a nap before fencing. So until next time.....ttyl
