TV

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!!!
