I realize that lately my posts are gloomy, I just realized how pathetic I sounded lol. I just would like to point out that today was probably one of the best days I’ve had all summer. I did good on a math test AND a physics test, oh yeah. I feel so much better and feel that I can sort of breathe for a little bit. It just seems that lately I’ve had a knee in my chest because so much is going on. But last week we took a huge load to my trailer and got sooo much accomplished. internet, tv wireless my printer..EVERYTHING and I feel so relieved that all that’s over with..just a few more loads until we’re done for GOOD! ahh! so excited!!!
Summertime blues July 9, 2011
I know all my posts here lately are negative, but it seems all I have are negative thoughts lol. I’m so tired of studying. I’d really like to punch whomever the genius was that came up with calculus right square in the nose. not sure what i was thinking when I signed up for all these fine classes, but I think I need to re-evaluate my sanity. I’m so sick of it. On a better note, only 4 more weeks left thank heaven. It’s getting crunch time til August and this studying is putting a huge damper on my moving process :\ my mom’s having to move all of my things because i have ZERO time. Ugh. I hope things get better and SOON! Hope everybody is having a wonderful weekend, i’m home studying-yay me!
slooww down. July 5, 2011
Is it just me or is this summer seriously flying by? I mean i really need it to slowwww down! granted, i’m so ready for these summer classes to be over- but I am really enjoying being at home and I’m wanting to enjoy my time off before the big move. So i spend a lot of time at home and actually love it. With that being said , i’d appreciate it if july would just take it’s sweet time. plus, i’ve got tons to do and not near enough time to do it! I hope everybody is enjoying their summer, but ya better enjoy july-it’ll FLY by! 
ah, gota get busy!
Busy? yeah, much. June 21, 2011
Ahh I feel like I’ve just started a whole new life! I know it sounds pathetic, but this past week has been the most stressful ever. I haven’t slowed down a bit! I had my first Calculus test monday and I did pretty good, but now I have ANOTHER calculus test tomorrow as well as a physics test. can you say stressed to the max? that’s me. LUCKILY, it’s also the week i’ve been waiting for- friday, we’re leaving for the beach and staying until next friday! whoohoo! I’m so excited and ready for a break. I know school needs to be my number one priority but to be honest, I’m sick of it- I really need a break! haha! So I hope everybody has a fabulous week! and I’ll think of ya while I’m on the beach
CMA Festival* June 13, 2011
So, this past weekend was the best weekend I’ve had in awhile. Country music, cowboy boots, nashvegas….otherwise, the CMA festival! My cousin, Court, her friend and I spent Thursday-Sunday in Nashville with one of our high school friends who plays basketball at Belmont so we could spend the weekend at the concerts. It was so much fun! We went to CMA fest friday night and saw Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban, Ashton Shephard, Lady A, and SUGARLAND (MY FAVORITE!) It was sooo much fun! I will definitely be in attendance next year! I had also never spent that much time in Nashville, just passed through and let me just tell you for anybody thats never been there- you need to go! It’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL. It’s like a mini New York and I absolutely LOVE it!! We took a tour of Belmont too, and that campus is by far the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen , it looks like an old time castle, gorgeous!! I hope everybody had a good weekend
Memorial Day* May 30, 2011
I think this is one of my favorite weekends of the year. I know that most people really enjoy the three days off over the weekend, some people really enjoy the great memorial day sales, but this memorial day we should be thankful for our troops. Think of all the families who have loved ones over seas, or have lost loved ones. My cousins boyfriend for years is in the army and I say a special prayer just for him each and everynight. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to have a loved one by away from me for that period of time in that type of situation. It really makes you think about life and how thankful we should be..and how much we take for granted. This memorial day, thank a soldier
Trust Me On The Sunscreen. May 20, 2011
This hangs on the mirror in my bedroom..I absolutely LOVE it! I hope you enjoy it as well. I read it this morning and though, why haven’t I posted this as a blog? Everybody else might need it just as much as me every morning
Wear Sunscreen
Mary Schmich
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it.
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering experience.
I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.
Oh nevermind. you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looke.
You’re not as fat as you imagine.
Don’t worry about the future. or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum.
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you
Sing
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts.
Don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss
Don’t waste your time on jealousy.
Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind.
The race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive.
forget the insults. if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters. throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your
life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives.
some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe
you won’t.
maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.
what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can.
don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.
Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for
good.
Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you
should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.
live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old.
and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don’t expect anyone else to support you.
Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.
Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you’re 40, it will
look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who
supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia.
dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen…
Such a LOVELY break :) May 18, 2011
So, everybody else enjoying this nice break as much as me? Sad to say it doesn’t last near long enough. I’ve enjoyed being lazy sleeping late and all of the above but I’m certainly not excited about starting back to class on June 1st and ending right about a week before i start class in Auburn geez..can’t catch a break! well, I’m gonna try and enjoy my last semester at nacc even though it IS summer time haha. We’re going to the beach and I know it’s gonna be hard to miss a full week of class but I think I deserve a break and it will be totally worth it I hope everyone is enjoying summer break as much as me
Moms Day. May 10, 2011
I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a Mother’s Day that meant more than this one. That’s not to say that I don’t always love my mom the same..which is a tremendous amount. I think it’s just that with all the bad and sad things going on in my community with the tornados and people losing their own mothers, that I realizejust how lucky and blessed and thankful I am that she is still here with me. I love my mom to pieces. I know people say their mom is their best friend but my mommy truly is and always will be. I know that I can always depend on her and I know I can talk to her and tell her anything and she’ll always love me no matter what .I dont’ know where I’d be without either of my parents and I just want the whole world to know how much I absolutely LOVE them!! Happy Mothers Day!
Goodbye, 4.0 May 6, 2011
I am very, very sad to say that I have indeed lost my 4.0 this semester, in anatomy. The class I enjoyed the most and tried the hardest in turned out to be the one I had the worst grade in. Its very upsetting to me, and I know some of you might think I’m just being a baby but it is because I worked so hard. Any other class, I might not have tried AS hard in, I might have been okay with a B, but as hard as I did work in this class-studying every night and on every weekend my little heart out..it’s heart breaking. no, I’m not being dramatic..I am extremely upset. Boo
