Almost Done!

2008-05-12T15:03:00.002-04:00

So I finished two finals today, wahoo! Also I did have two finals on Thursday but one got cancelled because I have an A in the class and the other one my professor said I can take early. So now I will be done on Wednesday which will be the first time in six semesters that I have left before the last day of finals. I was telling Dad today that it feels like the end of fall semester instead of spring because it is only 46 degrees and rainy. It seems that every Sunday it gets cold and then the temperature slowly increases until the weekend and then it drops again, this is extremely frustrating. See everyone soon I can't wait. Callie is also super excited because she loves to stay in hotels, lol.

Locks of Love

2008-04-26T17:17:00.002-04:00

Wow time sure does fly. I got my hair cut in January and donated it to Locks of Love. I donated a good foot! I couldn't believe how long my hair was. It has already started to grow out though and is now right above my shoulders. I think I might cut it again over the summer back to chin length just because it is so much more manageable for the summer especially at the beach. School is almost over, my last finals are on May 15th. The very next day we leave for Knoxville, we are all coming all 8 (and 1/2 if you count the new baby, lol) of us. We are excited to see everyone. I am also really excited because it is the first trip of the summer. I love to travel in the summer even if I spend more time travelling than staying somewhere.

Spring Break

2008-03-08T10:08:00.003-05:00

So today is the first day of Spring Break and guess what? Its snowing, a lot. We have about two inches and the roads are even covered. I can't remember that happening since I was little and we used to have big snow storms much more often. Of course, there could be no snow at the bottom of the hill for all I know. We are not that much higher up but we usually get so much more snow then on the flat parts of town. I was really hoping for nice weather for break. I even brought all of my flip flops from school back home. Oh well, I really miss having Spring Break in April or at least traveling somewhere warmer when it is in March. I remember the year we went to Florida to see Granny and Papa and we got to go swimming. We were so excited by that. I told everyone though that the snow would come in March it always does, lol.

2008-03-02T09:25:00.003-05:00

Wow it has been such a long time since I have written on here. I hope everyone is well here. We just had snow at Concord which hasn't happened much this year. But I am starting to want summer from just talking about our Beach house and all. I am not sure if mom mentioned on her blog but Jennifer is going to have a boy in July, Callie and Bourbon are really excited. I can tell this summer is going to be very busy but also very exciting.

TV

2007-09-25T19:33:00.000-04:00

So guess what? It's TV week. All the regular prime time shows are starting again. Have I mentioned I have an addiction to TV, just a little one, Okay I guess if you have over 10 regular shows each week that you watch that is a big addiction. But hey if I can do all my homework and still make time for that much TV that's pretty good. School is going but not fast enough. In a couple of weeks there will be fall break and I am going to the So You Think You Can Dance concert which I am very excited about. Although I don't think my sister is because I am dragging her along, lol. Not much has been going on here at Concord but that could be because it is Concord where they allocate money for a new building, that may I add was started before I came here and is just now being finished, but not for the furniture for the building therefore no classes can be held in it. Well House is coming on tonight so I better go do some homework so I can watch.

2007-08-30T12:15:00.000-04:00

Almost another week over and a three day weekend YAY! Mom, Andrew, my aunt Connie, and I are heading to North Carolina to visit some relatives and then back to Virginia to go to the natural bridge. Only problem: I have lost my camera, not good. It's going to be good to get away for a little while. The four of us are always taking little trips, we usually take one at the beginning of summer but this year too many things happened so we have decided to go over labor day weekend. Here is a picture of Andrew, Connie, and me at Grandfather Mountain from June 2006. We spent a couple of days in Ashville and traveling along the Blue Ridge Highway.

2007-08-23T10:10:00.000-04:00

So Sorry I haven't blogged in a while but with summer and getting ready for school I have been really busy. This first week of school has been really stressful and trying but its almost over thank goodness. I can't believe I am twenty. When Allie wished me a happy birthday on facebook it brought back memories of the last time we were all together. I was so mad that Chris and Allie tuned 8 before I did, lol. Also when I was young I used to think no one had birthdays in August but now it seems there are lots of August babies. Callie starts Kindergarten monday, on her birthday, I can't believe she is 5. I hope everyone is doing well and I really will try to blog more.

2007-06-04T09:38:00.000-04:00

Wow I can't believe it is already June, time sure does fly. Dad left yesterday to go to Michigan for work for 10 days. Callie had her dance recital on saturday and she was soo cute. Not a lot going on, I start work next week but thats about it. Hope everyone is having a great summer.

Finals

2007-05-07T15:03:00.000-04:00

So tomorrow is our last day of classes here at Concord because of course we always are the last school to get out even though we start at the same time as everyone else. Finals start on Thursday. I have five to take, well actually six but one was in Behavior Analysis which was a night class so I already took that final so now only five more to go. I can't wait to be done with school. Summer is almost here which is exciting. Callie and I are planning on spending a week with my aunt Connie at the end of the month and then she has a dance recital. I am so looking foward to the beach even though we don't go until the end of July. I am also super excited about the movies this summer. I already saw Spiderman 3 and loved it. I will be working again this summer at the coin shop but not until mid June. I really just can't wait for May 16 because I get to sleep! I like to sleep lol. Looks like its going to be a great summer.

Speech

2007-04-27T12:41:00.000-04:00

So I had been dreading taking speech class since I began school. I am very shy and do not like to talk in public so speech class and me did not go together. So who would have ever thought that I would be chosen as one of four people to give my persuasive speech in front of all the speech classes, not me thats for sure. However, on Monday I was asked to do this. So on Wednesday with my stomach all in knots I gave my speech, which was on light pollution, and what do you know I won! All the contestants got 50 bonus points and the winner got $50. I still can't believe that I was able to pull it off let alone win. You can't believe how nervous I was. I am still not so sure that winning was a good thing because I still have another speech to give before the end of the semester and now my teacher is going to expect more. On a good note though only 3 more days of speech for the rest of my life :)

2007-04-19T15:30:00.000-04:00

So what took place at Virginia Tech on Monday really hits home here at Concord. We are only about an hour away from Tech and many of us have friends there and some of our professors used to teach there. Just keep the whole Blacksburg community in your prayers. Mom and Andrew got back from New York on Friday and Andrew is already ready to go back. I can't wait to go home this weekend. I get to see the girls and it is going to be warm which is exciting considering that we had about two inches of snow on Sunday. I hope everyone is doing well, I only have three and a half weeks left of school YAY!!!

Happy Easter

2007-04-05T23:14:00.000-04:00

Well right now I am waiting for midnight so that I can register for my fall classes online. I can't wait for tomorrow because I am going home. Now I did go home last weekend but I had so much homework that I didn't get to see anyone. This weekend, even though I have to work, I am still so excited because I get to hang out with the family. Mom and Andrew are going to New York City this week for spring break, I so wish I could go but no I have to go to school. I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend!

Spring Break

2007-03-09T09:08:00.000-05:00

Well my roomate and I just moved into a new room last night. It is a triple but just the two of us are staying in it and paying extra. We have so much more room but we don't really get to enjoy for another week, not that I am complaining. Spring Break has finally arrived. I am not doing anything special just hanging around. Maddie turned one today and we are having her a party on Sunday but so far that is the only plan I have. Of course I have homework because my teachers like to give tests after break. I know I won't do a whole lot but I will still take the books home just in case, lol. Hope everyone has a good weekend and that it is starting to warm up wherever you are!

Home for the weekend

2007-03-02T13:16:00.000-05:00

I am getting ready to go home for the weekend. I spend every other weekend here at school and it stinks because first off the only thing in Athens is a CVS and a Ginos and also I don't have a car to go to Princeton where there are things to do. So I am really excited to go home and see everyone especially the girls. I already told mom on Monday that I want to go to Rio, our favorite Mexican restaurant, this weekend. I also get to see Dad which is good because the last weekend I was home he worked all weekend. Here is a picture of him and Maddie during the Chiefs playoff game I meant to put it on earlier but forgot. I found Maddies outfit at Gabe's and just had to get it for her. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

2007-02-24T09:27:00.000-05:00

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Since my AOL did something weird and no longer works I only have internet explorer which I am not used to using and I don't have all of my favorites including my blog so I forgot about it until last weekend. We are finally experiencing warm weather and by that I mean mid 40s. Spring Break is only two weeks away and I can't wait, School and me don't get along even though I get good grades. I am spending the weekend here in Athens, WV and let me tell you there is absolutely nothing to do. I don't know if any of you guys watch TV but I am a TVholic and watch it all the time and Grey's Anatomy is amazing but I also love many other shows like House and Lost. Well I guess I should do some homework even though I hate it.

Back To School

2007-01-23T12:51:00.000-05:00

Well this is the first full week of school. It is hard being back after having a month off but I am starting to get used to it again. It finally got cold here which isn't much fun unless there is snow which there isn't right now. I know I haven't blogged in a while but I will try to do so more often now that I have a schedule again. Hope everyone is doing well!

2006-12-25T19:50:00.000-05:00

Well Christmas was great but it is sad that it is over. i just wanted to say thanks to Granny and
Papa for the christmas cards with the pictures. We all had a great time looking at the pictures although I don't like my picture lol. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

2006-12-18T20:37:00.000-05:00

Well tomorrow, the 19th is my last day of finals and of the semester. Concord University prides itself in being the last school to let out. So while all my friends are back home I am stuck at school. My finals weren't too bad, but six is way too many to have. Dad is coming to get me tomorrow so we will be able to spend some quality road time together. I haven't seen him in forever since I have only been home once since Thanksgiving and we both were working. I am so glad it is break, but hopefully it will be a good one and me and Andrew don't fight the whole time. Hope everyone has a great Christmas and gets what they want from Santa lol.

2006-11-28T16:46:00.000-05:00

Thanksgiving was awesome, I had green bean casserole twice! I also got some great shopping in as well. Now its crunch time at school. I am stressing as always because there just is not enough time to get everything done! Hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

2006-11-15T15:47:00.000-05:00

Wow, its Wednesday could this week be any slower? I can't wait for Thanksgiving break and it is so close that it seems time has stopped so I can't enjoy some relaxation. Well I hope everyone has a splendid Thanksgiving I can't wait for some good green bean casserole and spending time with the family!!

2006-11-06T16:03:00.000-05:00

I never really gotten into the whole blog/myspace thing but I will give it a try when I have time 20 hours of school kind of bogs me down.
