Speech

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 :)

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

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

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

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!

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

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!
