UNI

So, I've been moved in since August 3rd. It's been pretty amazing! I love my new job and the new people I get to work with. Our staff is pretty darn sweet!

I have been so incredibly busy with training. I just got my room organized two days ago and today is the last day of training! Tomorrow begins opening weekend. I know...Wednesday isn't a weekend! However, Springboard moves in tomorrow! Which means tomorrow is when I start my official job as a RA. Currently I have 14 residents moved in to the permanent residence! In the end I will have 52 residents. I'm pretty excited about this upcoming year.

It's been a long time....

So,

I haven't been on here in quite some time.

What's new with me?

Well, I've been working hard at the daycare with babies! I truly enjoy it. However, after this summer I won't be going back to the day care!

I'm in a hunt for a new car since I will be leaving my gorgeous green Intrepid home this year. My sister will be taking over that car. We went looking today and found a black Jeep Liberty. I've had my eye on a Jeep Liberty since forever it seems. I would absolutely love to have that Liberty. I will be paying for some of it myself. I suppose that is okay other than the fact that I won't be the one that keeps it in the end. We are also considering leasing an Impala. I know, you would think that a Chevy Impala is a "family car" but the new Impalas are sweet! I found a red Impala with tan interior and was like "WOW." If I had the option I would love a cream colored car. Or, I saw this PT Cruiser on one of the lots and it was seriously a pastel yellow. Like Easter kind of yellow. Not gold, not champagne, PASTEL YELLOW. The interior dash was the same yellow and the rest of the interior was tan! Amazing!

Josh and I are Grrrrrr-eat! haha. He and Phil are hopefully rooming together next year at UNI. This past Wednesday the three of us went up to UNI. They went to their Transfer Orientation and I went to spend the day with Courtney! We kind of just chilled in the morning and then got ready and went to Main Street and found some really cute shops. We found one where we want to get all of our house decorations. That is, when we each BUY a house! I have approximately 34 days until I go back to UNI and none of my door decorations are completed! I'm doomed basically! I'll be up late every night trying to complete them! grrrr... Oh well I suppose.

I need to go shopping and find an outfit to wear to the wedding I'm attending on August 3rd. Then, one day later I will be celebrating my 19th birthday at UNI. My first birthday away from home. That'll be different. I've never been away from home on my birthday. Josh will be up there though since he's going to the wedding with me!

I also need to buy a gift for a baby shower in 2 weeks and also a gift for the wedding! Ay yi yi!

I just got done hanging artwork in my room. I rearranged my room so that one wall was completely empty. So, I decided that I should stop ruining my artwork and actually hang it somewhere! I don't have a lot but I like what's there! I have a piece in progress that I need to finish! I'm also taking an art class this semester. We'll see how that goes. It's supposed to be a LAC course. Hopefully it won't be too difficult! I'm afraid I'm going to be super busy this year. Plus, sophomore year is supposed to be the hardest year for Accounting majors.

Goodness!

On an ending note, I got a new phone. It's a LG enV. Plus, my ringtone in pretty much amazing!





"Inside Out" by Eve 6

I would swallow my pride

I would choke on the rhines

But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside

I would swallow my doubt

Turn it inside out

Find nothing but faith in nothing

Want to put my tender heart it in a blender

Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion

Rendezvous then I'm through with you

Summer...so far

I am absolutely loving summer! I'm working 40 hours a week at the day care. Stressful at times but I'm loving it! Plus, I got my raise I've been asking for. I'm also seeing Josh a lot more! It's great! I'm no longer a night person! I have to go to bed before 12 on the week days! I start getting tired at like 10. It's insane! OH WELL! I'm still happy with this summer.
Phil's back, so now I need to find something to do when I'm not hanging out with Josh. Maybe I could actually organize my room. I haven't unpacked. But I need to go get shelf things at Target because mine are at Noehren.

I'm never on the computer anymore...I like it! haha!

Cheerleading

So, many people know that cheerleading, well....I love cheerleading! No matter how much I am not able to do it now...I will always love cheerleading! So, I thought I would post these two things! They are similar but not quite! AND they're from YouTube!

ENJOY!!!

Less than two weeks

Two weeks. Less than that! hallelujah! So, I was sitting talking to Josh and asked him how happy he was with his life right now. He said he was happy! He asked the same question to me...I can't say I responded with the same answer. I said that many many things could be improved upon...I decided that I needed to think this out!

• School sucks. Last semester I actually enjoyed the majority of my classes. Not this semester. I'm basically just trying to get through them; i.e. Sociology and Microeconomics. I would include Humanities but I'm through with it now so it doesn't count anymore.
• My roommate situation is truly not ideal at all. We really don't get along. We each talk about eachother behind their back. She told one of my friends that she felt sorry for me because I don't get out much and I don't hang out with anyone. Let me just defend myself...I don't get out to hang out with people because I'm trying to do well in my classes which I DON'T SKIP! If you can skip and get good grades with barely studying then congrats to you. I can not skip or even space out! Which then goes back to my first point!
• My relationship could be improved upon in the sense that I hate distance. It has been the hardest part of our relationship being apart. We fight so much more now. In about the first 2 years we did not fight. If we did it was needed and we only grew from it. Now, fighting is normal and I hate it! I just want to be able to have my main form of conversation be face to face. I hate talking on my cell phone. I don't want to sit in the hall every night talking to him. I want to see him in the flesh...I just miss him immensely. Tonight as I was sitting in the hall talking to him I looked to my right....I seriously longed for him to be there right then. It really did feel like part of me was missing and I had to find it as soon as possible. It was like a hole.....
• Previously I talked about a friend. Well that friend, who for a while I thought would be my maid of honor, has disregarded my emotions too many times. I wrote a letter to her because the situation did not allow for me to speak to her in private (which was the cause of the problem) and I basically said that I felt like she was treating me like trash. I was good for first semester but then once her fiance came this semester, I no longer had any use for her so everything was on his terms. We never got our girl time anymore and if she asked for a night where us girls could hang out he would throw a fit and she would give in. I told her I missed her. One would think that she would at least make an effort to have at least one girls night.... That one girls night never happened. It was never brought up. She has still come to me complaining about her fiance and I finally snapped. I told her that I am not her fiance and if she had something to say about him, I was not going to listen. I am not part of that relationship! So, she was like "okay." I went to dinner with them like every night on Wednesday and Thursday night of this past week. Both meals I could not even have the option to take part in the conversation. I thought that if you asked someone if they were going to dinner with you that you would at least try to incorporate them in the conversation. I guess times have changed....and so has our relationship. I am now the girl she goes to when she wants to complain about her fiance.....aka I'm a toilet to put her crap in.

That basically sums it up. I really am happy....I'm just being pessimistic tonight. Sorry for the crude example at the end there.

All Star by Smash Mouth
...

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
But the media men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I never get bored

Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
(And all that glitters is gold)
...
Only shooting stars break the mold 

Sex and the City

Sex and the City is actually a pretty addicting show!

It's awkward, really awkward, at time...but you glance away and then for some reason you still look back and continue watching! Don't ask me why!!!

Girls night was awesome! LOVED IT! It was a little weird being with 4 other girls that are like "I hate boys" but it was ok! It was still fun and I love them! Part of me is sad that I won't see them as much in 2 weeks. :-(

I need to sleep! I have brunch at 1130! grrr. oh well! I still love them!

April 16, 2007

Today is marked with tragedy and sorrow. My prayers are down at Virginia Tech. May a sense of calmness and peace come upon them soon. May there be an overwhelming support for those who attend and for those who know someone that attends that university. Sometimes people say that tomorrow is another day. Tomorrow will not be another day for many people. Tomorrow may be the beginning of their life without a brother, sister, son, daughter, best friend, wife, husband, etc. May they find peace and may they be comforted by those surrounding them. May they have an immense support group.
