New favorite song...

"And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this all my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on"

this and that

So I should prolly be studying for pharmacology right now or maybe getting ready for bed but instead I thought I would do a little update-age of this thing. TWO weekends ago I went to NIU with kaleigh, laura, andrea, frank, and dom to visit melissa. Had a really fun time (from what I remember) then on saturday I chilled at home with my mom and sis and then went to the jason mraz concert in chicago. It was awesome as expected. The following week was nothing special. I had a pathology exam which i THOUGHT I had studied my ass off for only to realize that I basically suck at life and got a 70% so that put a damper on my week but I made up for it that night by headin' down the street to play some beer pong naturally. We kicked ass if I do say so myself. Stayed up til after 4am which wasnt that big of a deal since my first class wasnt til 2:30. Alice went with me to my one class on friday (foods and nutrition) cuz we decided to leave for southern right after. To sum up our driving experience to southern...basically i'm a dumbass when it comes to directions, missed the exit we were suppose to take, didnt realize til about 2 hours later, and had to whip out the atlas and find a new way to get to carbondale. We actually only added on about an hour to our trip but I made the mistake of telling my mom what happend who told my dad who basically flipped shit and was telling me all these different roads to take and confuse me even more (which is not hard to do) so we finally pulled up to kerry's dorm around 9, chilled for a bit, pregamed, then headed to the bars. Apparently there was nothing going on cuz most people went home or got scared by the cooler weather so we bar hopped for prolly less than an hour and then decided to call it a night. Saturday we really didnt get up and moving til prolly 2ish then kerry gave us the campus tour and showed us her sorority house, came back chilled at the dorm, went out to dinner with a bunch of people at Lonestar, then basically sat around, talked. Alice and I left carbondale around 9 on sunday, got to purdue at 1, left for Michigan by 2:30, stopped and watched Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy and ate pizza at jeff (her boyfriends) dorm at UofM. So we were at alice's house around 11. Next day was a major shopping day which included hittin' up two malls. We had lunch/dinner with Una/best friend (alice's mom) and her friend sarah, continued shopping, then went over to her sister's house to see the kiddies before they went to bed. Played some quality dress up and hide and go seek with her adorable niece kenzie, headed back to her house and pretty much crashed.
So that was pretty much my October break. We got back to west laf around 4. I attempted some hardcore pharm studying though it prolly wont help me at all. Jessi also brough back some flippin sweet halloween decorations so we spruced up the place and made it look all festive.
So yeah thats about all I got. This weekend is homecoming aka getting our asses kicked by northwestern. Ok time to end this very boring blog before it gets n e more pessimistic. til next time....

ooohhhhhh goodness

Yay this week is almost over with. Two more days til the weekend and of course I have my awesome pharmacology exam to look forward to on Friday. Not much going on here besides exams and what not. Thanks to y'all who put up with my venting and pissy mood last night. I wasn't feelin' too hot after my patho exam but you guys really cheered me up, thanks! (you know who you are).

So today I left for campus early so I could get some studying done at the library. I think that's what I'm gonna have to do from now on cuz I get absolutely nothing done here. Haha take now for example. I could be studying for pharm or reading history or reading human development but nooooooo i'm writing in my stupid blog.

No big plans for the weekend. Prolly will just end up working on homework, studying for my nursing exam next week, and maybe get some cleaning in. I know it's so exciting. I don't know if i can handle it. Who knows I might break down and go home on saturday even though I am going home next weekend so that prolly wouldnt be the smartest of ideas (gaswise).

So yeah I got nothing else to report. Hahaha wow my life is boring. I dunno maybe that's a good thing. I dunno. Any way. ta ta for now

its been awhile

Hey y'all
It's been a few weeks so I thought I would do some update-age. Well school is in full swing. Lots of reading and two exams next week. Should be fun times. We also have our first home football game on Saturday which is awesome. Ummmm what have I been up to....well my sister, her friend alex, and kerry came down/up haha and we partied here that was a couple weeks ago though....last weekend I went to ISU and stayed at Kaleigh's and met her friends Lindsey and Katie. We just chilled there Friday night cuz most people were gone for Labor Day weekend. On Saturday I went and saw my grandma, two aunts, two uncles, and two cousins haha cuz they were all over there (and live there Normal,IL) so I visited with them for a bit. Around 5:30ish we left for UofI to party with the Naperville peoples. It was my first trip to the bars down there. I dunno it was fun. I wasnt like wow this is amazing but I had my girls there with me so I would've had fun no matter what. Sunday we went and had lunch at Potbelly with dana and lauren then headed back to ISU to drop off Kaleigh, Lindsey, and Katie and then headed back to Purdue. I made a small detour at the cemetary there in Bloomington cuz that's where my brother and grandpa are burried. It was weird being there by myself. Usually I'm there with my mom but it was just something that I wanted to do. Well on that happy note...
I got back to Purdue aroung 5:30. It felt soooo good to be back. I borrowed my roomie's copy of the OC season 1 and pretty much got addicted. It was sad. So i watched that pretty much all night. Monday Caitlin and I went and checked out the pool and "studied" (and watched guys play volleyball with their shirts off) it was fun times!
Last night (wednesday) me and my other roomie jessi went over to nick's house for some quality beer pong-age. It was fun times as always. Different than last year for sure but still had a good time. Hahaha any night that involves the phrase "let's get naked on the roof"said numerous times is bound to be an intersting experience haha. oh goodness. So today was a bitch. I'm pretty sure I almost fell asleep in both of my power hours (pathophysiology and history) it was tough man. So tonight I basically did jack shit. Made a pizza for dinner, watched a movie and fell asleep, and of course watched the season premier of the OC.
Well thats about all I got for now folks. I have to get up early for some stupid nursing conference thing on ethics. Its from 8am-12. Its gonna be a long day.
toodles for now

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

- 1 Corinthians 13:4

Back in good ol' West Laff

Well I have been back at Purdue for a little over a week now and I can't believe how different my attitude is this year compared to last year. I mean last year I cried when I said goodbye to all my friends, and when my parents left, and pretty much every time I talked to all of them on the phone the following week. I mean I miss people from back home but I've learned that it's not the end of the world, that I will see them in a few weeks anyway. I'm just in a happier place. I LOVE my apartment and my roomies. We definitely had a fun first week ; ).

So I had my first day of classes today. I didn't start til 2:30 haha that was rough. And I only had two classes. It was great to see a bunch of the nursing girls too and it turns out that we have a lot of classes together which is awesome! On Tuesday and thursday i have three classes and I have to start early at 11:30 haha I know i suck. But I dont get done til 4:30 every day. Ummmmm yeah not much else to report. seems like I had a lot more but I guess not. That's all for now i guess.

Toodles

THREE MORE DAYS!

Well it's finally here. the end of summer! I can't believe it. It seems like it flew by but at the same time May seems like such a long time ago. I just had my last day of work today but I'm gonna go back in on Friday and say goodbye to everyone. I might bring my dog too. I pray to God i don't start crying. that would be just a tad embarassing but knowing me I prolly will. I mean i've worked there for three years now and I might never see some of these people again.

So I had a revelation today. An epiphany if you will. While we were eating lunch today I suddenly got this burst of excitment about moving into the apartment and just starting sophmore year but as soon as it came i immediatly tried to supress it. It's like I can't let myself be happy because I don't want to disappoint myself later. So anyway my epiphany was that thats just a stupid thing to do. I mean i know people say it all the time that if you think that things are gonna turn out bad, they will. I just thought, ya know being pessimistic really hasn't gotten me anywhere cuz i'm still disappointed no matter so I might as well try to enjoy myself and here is a crazy idea...actually allow myself to be excited and happy. Who knows maybe once i do that (just changing my whole attitude) other things will change too. So that's what i'm gonna do.

So now that I got that out of the way....nothing much new to report. My mom and I went to lake geneva on sunday for some quality mother-daughter bonding. We basically just walked around, went into shops, ate a lot, and then saw "must love dogs" (movie was ok. not great but not totally retarded) It was nice just to get a chance to chat. The other day was Davis's bday and we got him a pretty flippin' sweet cookie cake and there might have been a picture of barbie on it, then we sat around and listened to the new dane cook cd that eddie had gotten. omg it was freakin' hilarious. My stomach seriously hurt afterward. Yesterday I went and worked out, went to work, was kinda in a pissy mood afterwards (though the reason is still unknown) met the girls over at andrea's and made dinner then we headed over to paul's game in la grange. Afterwards had a quality excursion to el burrito. Tomorrow I'm going to the Cubs game with my dad so that should be fun times then bon voyage/andrea's done with summer school fiesta at night

Ok I got nothing...I'm off to shower because I smell (worse than usual if you can imagine that) Next time I report I will most likely be in good ol' west lafayette!!!!

toodles for now
