Relaxing/Rejuvenating Weekend
Just warning y'all... this post jumps around.
So on Friday I had a mental break down, again. I was crying in class. I went to talk to a counselor about it, and we just kinda talked about everything going on right now. Especially the fact that I'm a senior (which scares the crap out of me). I told her that I registered for classes for the last time on Monday, and that was sad. It's kind of hitting me, everything I'm doing is for the last time. Last night was the last time I will particiapte in Rock for Riley... I don't know if I'm ok with that. It's weird. Anyways. I still wasn't feeling well so I called my friend Steph and we went and grabbed some lunch. After that I went to class with her b/c I know the teacher and he didn't care. After that we went to Wal-mart, and then it was time for work. I came home and got ready, and just started crying. I couldn't stop. My roommate, Amanda was like, ummm... you're not going to work today, so i called in sick. I called Steph and told her I wasn't going in and she came over.
We decided to take this dog she was looking after for a walk. We walked for like an hour. It was nice. When we got back I had dinner, which to be perfectly honest was the first time I'd actually felt like eating anything all week. Amanda came back from dinner and invited Steph and i to SCF, so we all went and spent like an hour and a half there. Afterwards we were like, let's go crash a high school football game just b/c we can. We drove around for like a half hour before realizing that it was November, and most high school seasons were over. We decided that we would run by the dollar theater and see what was playing. There was a movie, "Burn After Reading" that we all kinda wanted to see, and it started at 9:30 (it was 9:25) so it was perfect. We went in and got our seats and the movie started. For teh next two hours all three of us were staying at the screen going... "what is going on?" but laughing so hard, b/c it was hilarious! Afterwards we were like, that was amazing! We drove back to school, and Steph got her car and went home. At this point, it was about 11:30.
Amanda is in her Senior Sem class right now, which means she's in the middle of writing her thesis, which is due Monday at 5, just in case you were wondering, :). She had been working on it all day pretty much,a dn she was going to work on it again, but that movie ave us this great idea. We decided we would throw a party for all of our firends, sometime this semester, and watch that movie, just b/c it's so funny. We decided we needed to go tell some of our friends at Sig Ep, so at 11:30, we were like, ok let's go, but we won't stay long. Amanda wanted to get up and work on her Thesis, and i was going to get up and work on other homework. We went over and were talking ot people. We were dancing, and having a good time. We were just hanging out. The last 45 minutes we were just sitting in Cedric's room talking. It was the best night ever, and it made me feel so much better. We ended up leaving around 2. :) Ooops.
Saturday, Amanda was going to get up at 9 and i was going to get up at 10. I got up at 10, and she wasn't up yet. She got up when she heard me up though. I grabbed a shower, and turned on Rookie of the Year. Amanda decided to watch the movie with me, so it was a good time. Then I had a wedding to go to. Phi Mu's chapter advior, Shelly McFall (also the head coach of the softball team i helped with last year) got married. It was a beautiful ceremony. Shelly looked gorgeous, and my favorite part was her shoe choice... softball cleats. :) I am totally going to do that! After the weddign was the reception where I pretty uch scarfed down my meal in 15 minutes because I had to drive back to campus for Rock 4 Riley.
For those of you who don't know, my sorority's philanthropy is Children's Miracle Network, the money we raise goes to a local hospital, Riley Hospital for Children, up in Indy. We hold two events a year. In the Spring it's UEDM (University of Evansville Dance Marathon) and all night party essentially. We play games, have bands, crafts, etc... In the fall, we do my favorite, Rock 4 Riley. R4R is a lip synching contest. Some themes we have done in the past include, TV theme songs, Disney, and 90s. This year was "A Night at the Movies: A Pink Carpet Affair" (b/c our colors are rose and white). I love R4R b/c it is so hilarious. This year we had 8 teams, and 5 advanced to the final round. My favorite was Sig Ep, and I'm not just syaing that. They were the best. They did "Oh Maria" from Sister Act. Imagine 15 guys dressed up in hand made black cloth held together with staples and plain t-shirts on their heads. It was hilaroius. They were jumping around, and basically they're dance was amazing. they came in second. Our Phi class came in first in the crowd pleaser award though. that was exciting. After that, we went and watched the last 5 minutes of the UE soccer game with the entire Sig Ep chapter, but the thing was, anytime they would shift their weight, the bleacher we were stnading on would shift too, and Amanda and i were in heels, and so we almost fell liek 5 times.
We came back and Amanda went back to work on her Thesis. I asked if we were going to go out that night and she said she didn't know. About 12:30 I asked if i was putting on jeans or pjs and she said jeans. We both agreed that we weren't going to stay past 1:30 b/c she needed to get up and work on her thesis and i had to go to work. As soon as we walked in the door though one of my guy friends (who said he wasn't drink any mor euntil next semester) came up to us drunk, and I mean completely trashed. So we walked him back to his room where he continued his search for green shorts and a green shirt. We went upstairs. We hung out and were talking to people, and then we ran into my friend again, and I pretty much spent the next hour and a half or so hanign out with him to make sure he didn't do anything too stupid.
Finally, about 2, we got him to his room where he passed out on his couch. His roomates closed up the room and me and Amanda stayed to talk to one of our friends who was in there. Within the next hour, one of the brothers, a very very tall freshman (think Chris, my ex) pretty much broke the door down three times and came in yelling for his buddy who was passed out on the couch. Even with three of us we could barely get him out. Around 3, we went upstairs to get our jacket where we ran into some more friends and started talking again. About 4, we got kicked out of the third room b/c they wanted to go to bed, and Amanda and I decided we should go home. So we finally got home aroun 4:30 and were in bed by 5. She woke up at 9 to continue work on her Thesis, and I got up at 10 to head to work.
Today i went to work, and we were actually busy. Only made $35 though, but it's a Sunday morning. Oh well. Then I had meetings tonight, and after that I finally went to the library to check out some books for my paper comparing and contrasting concentration camps in WWII, which is due a week from tuesday. I didn't open a single one tonight though. I did however waste 2 hours on facebook and get my 6 cover letters done, rewrite an article, and get a study guide done. Tomorrow it's back to class after a pretty relaxing/rejuvenating weekend. I'm feeling much better than i did on Friday. I'm still not 100% but I'm doing better. Which is good. :)
Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. I know I've been vague, but sometimes it's good to be vague. Please continue to keep me there, especially as I begin applying for jobs for next semester... i can't believe I might have a big girl job next semester. :-/ Have a good evening everyone.

Happy Halloween!!!
I hope everyone had a good one. I did. it was absolutely gorgeous here yesterday, and so in the afternoon, i went outside and enjoyed it. Stephanie stopped by and we chatted for a while. I had to go to work that night, so I went back home and got changed for work. We got to wear our costumes last night, so I dressed up in my referee and made it a little demure for work. I think that costume is good luck at work. I made $67 last night which is the most I have ever made in 2-top Heaven, and I think I made more than most of the other servers. Go me. :) Then I came home and got a little sexier, and Amanda, her friend Brook, and I all went over to Sig Ep for their Halloween party, which was actually their date party, go figure. I had a lot of fun last night. I drank a little too much, and so Amanda had to help me home, but it was still a good time.
Today is laundry/clean my room day! Yay! This afternoon is the Sig Ep pledge auction, and I'm going to go buy my friend. It should be a fun time. Then tonight is Semi-Formal. I'm really excited. It'll be a lot of fun. Hope everyone had a good day yesterday and has a good weekend.

crazy days
So apparently after Fall Break my life ceased to exist. I've been going from one hing to another, and when i get a chance to relax I rarely do. So here's a short run down of all the important things going on here:
The weather skipped fall and went from summer to winter. Today the high was 44 degrees. Yesterday I played flag football in 40 degree weather. It was cold, very very cold. I am liking the cold weather a lot though. I'm breaking out all the warm clothes, although I'm running out so this Saturday is laundry day.
I'm working pretty steadily at the Roadhouse. I work Wed. nights, Fri and Sat nights, and Sunday mornings. Unless, of course, I ask off for one of those days, which includes the next 3 Saturdays!!! Oh well. I make ok tips there, they average out I think.
I'm passing all my classes, which is always a plus. I kinda don't care about Basic Reporting because it doesn't matter if i try my hardest or not i still get a 'C'. I'm kinda like w/e for that. PR is starting to get a little harder as more work is being do. I'm still loving history, just finished my presentation in there last week, next thing do is a paper. Theory has turned into research and concentrating more on our research proposals. Audio is just a 3 hour homework period for me. Voice is amazing. I'm beginning to memorize my songs for my jury at the end of the semester.
Our flag football team is 1 and 2 now, which is all sorts of fun. I enjoy playing/running around. :) I like to go to other teams games as well. Sig Ep has two 'B' teams, one of actives and one of pledges. They played each other last week and the actives won 45 to 14. They played again tonight, and the pledges beat the actives 36 to 33. The actives were not very happy. I'm sure the pledges heard about that later this evening.
This Friday is Halloween and I have been invited to a closed Halloween Party at Sig Ep, which I am really excited about! I am going to be a referee for halloween. I've got a really cute costume and everything. :) On Saturday is Carnation Ball. Amanda and I are having our dates over for dinner before we leave. It should be a good time. I'm really excited about that too.
Last weekend Sugarland played on Friday night, and one of the country stations came to the roadhouse to give away free tickets form 4 to 6 so at 5:30 we had a 60 to 75 minute wait on our hands. Then after work on Saturday night I went over to Sig Ep to hang out with some buddies. it was a good time.
In other words, somehow I'm managing to maintain a balance b/t my school work, my social life, and my actual work. Don't ask how, just go with it. I'm loving life right now and living each day the best I can. I'm in a great place right now. Everything seems to be going my way, and I'm pretty content.

Fall break
So the past two days have been Fall Break for me. I've decided Fall Break is an illusion. It's just two days of no classes that school gives you in the middle of the semester to get caught up in all of your classes. I had a lot of fun though.
I drove home Friday night, picking up Gavin, my cousin Erin's 20 mo. son, on the way. We got to baby-sit him Friday night through Saturday night while Erin was at a wedding in McKenzie, TN. Gavin didn't cry a single bit while in the car, but as soon as we got out of the car and into the house, and he realized mommy wasn't there he started crying. So we turned on Cars, his favorite movie, and he forgot about pretty much everything else. There were very little troubles the rest of the weekend. That night I went out with a friend. We went and played pool and darts. It was fun.
Saturday was the OU-Texas game... boo Longhorns (especially since they won). I worked on my Public Relations homework while I watched it. We also took Gavin to the pumpkin patch and got him a new toy car, which was inadvertantly left at our house. That night we celebrated dad's 50th birthday, a week late, but still. We had spaghetti, french bread, and blackberry pie and ice cream. It was very good. Gavin loved the blackberry pie. it was so cute. he'd get up on the chair and say "bite" to my mom, who would give him a bite, and then he would get down and go play, and then come back and repeat the process. That night Erin came in and we chilled that night. it was cool.
Sunday I went to church with my mom and sister and Erin and Gavin. Erin and Gavin left for home. My computer was confiscated for the day to run virus scans. I spent the day chillaxin' and watching tv. :) I got my computer back that night and rewrote my University Relations article for Basic Reporting.
Monday I spent the day at mom's school giving out surveys for my Adidas campaign for my public relations campaign. That night a friend and I went out to see Eagle Eye. It was an amazing movie. Then We went to Texas Roadhouse where I got caught up on the latest gossip I had missed in the two months I had been gone. After that we went over to his place to watch You've Got Mail. It was a lot of fun.
Today I pretty much got up, took my time getting everything together, and then proceeded to drive 5 hours back to school. For some reason the cops were out in full force today, more than usual, so it actually took me 5 hours to get home. Sad day. I got back, and met Stephanie, who had my ID so she could get a meal earlier that day when the new student center opened, and we went over to the new student center and explored. It is amazing! When you're inside it, you feel like you actually go to a big school. It's so cool. I love it, and it was totally worth the inconvience of a year and a half of construction, almost. Now, I'm continuing to do homework, and getting ready to go to bed. Hope everyone had a great weekend/beginning of the week!

ice skating in the kitchen
SO tonight, Amanda and I were taking a break from watching Gilmore Girls, were on about 7 episodes right now, and we decided to slide on the kitchen floor. I seriously haven't done that since I was a little kid. It was so much fun. We were both sliding back and forth in the kitchen, and at one point we even slid into each other. that was kind of fun. We were sliding and screaming and laughing. At one point, we both slid, I went towards the fridge and she went towards the pantry. Her feet got in front of her body and she went right into the pantry door. She knocked it off the hinges. She fell down laughing. It was sooo funny. She wasn't hurt. It was just really funny.
Another fun thing... I got her sick. I've been sick for the past two weeks, coughing real bad. That's it just coughing, but it was really really annoying. Now she's caught it. I feel bad for her, but she's doing ok. Today was so interesting. I had a class form 9 to 9:50 and that was it. That was the only thing I had to do all day. It was o nice having a lazy day. Although technically it wasn't completely lazy since I did do some homework. It was so cool. Anyways, that was my day.

Chocolate covered bacon anyone?
So the past couple weeks have been crazy in my apartment. Between the four of us we have had tests, papers, and general craziness happening. I think between the four of us we've had about 10-12 tests in the past two weeks, and 3 - 4 papers due. Not to mention three of us have sorority stuff, and two of us have exec sorority stuff! Ugh! All I can say is I will be glad to be done with exec. :-D I myself just got done with my second mid-term. My first one was yesterday in Media Theory and Research. I think I did ok on that one. He told us it would be broad, but this was way broad.
Today I had my WWII midterm. It was 20 short answer questions and 2 essays in 75 minutes. The 20 questions were to test our factual knowledge that we had gotten from the book. Now I read all 14 chapters in that book, I'm pretty certain this is the only class I've ever kept up on my reading for in any class ever, and I even take notes! Yet, I still didn't know half those quesitons! And he told us that if we missed more than 2 we couldn't get an A on the test, and I left at least 3 or 4 blank and got a few others wrong. As I was walking back to my room about 3 hours later, Irememebred an answer to a question I had left blank. I hate it when that happens.
I also turned in my problem statement and situational analysis for my Adidas campaign in Strategic PR. I'm having a lot of fun in there, my campign is centered around "comfort zone" so we'll see hwo well that works out. And other than my reporting class, which is not just kicking my butt, but rubbing it in my face as well, all is going well. I turned in 30 academic hours for last week, which is about 26 hours of studying and 4 hours of tutoring.
As a rewards for keeping up on my studies, me and my friend Stephanie went to Fall Festival tonight. Now Fall Festival is like a fair, but instead of being all about the rides or all about the best pig/pie/vegetable/cow/whatever, it's all about the food. Sure they have rides there, not a ton, but some good ones, and they have a talent show and stuff like that, but the food is the main event. It's why most people go down there. They have about 4 blocks lined on both sides of the streets with booths of food. Everything from your regular stuff: hotdogs, hamburgers, corn dogs, funnel cakes, bar-ba-que, sausage, ect.. and the not so reglar stuff: fried cookie dough, fried mac n cheese, alligator, Pig toes, Chocolate covered crickets, fried oreos, banana canoes, chocolate covered strawberries, buckeyes and of course chocolate covered bacon. Now I think that last one was new this year, I don't remember it from last year, but it sounded interesting, and I like bacon, and I like chocolate, so I decided I would try it. It wasn't bad, but after about one and a half, I was done with it. It was just sooo... something. I don't even know what it was.
Stephanie and I also played the mouse game, where you put your quarters on a color, and they let a mouse loose in a wheel of fortune looking thing, and hich ever color hole it goes in, that color wins, and if your quarter is on that color, you win! YAY!!! I didn't win. Neither did Stephanie. We also went on teh Himalaya, and all I can say is, the announcer makes the ride, I miss the guy at Bells. So now I'm relaxing before I work on my Lit Review tomorrow for my Media Theory and Research class. Yay fun times. This weekend is Fall break, and I'm looking forward to going home. I'll probably work the entire time, but oh well.
Today I had my WWII midterm. It was 20 short answer questions and 2 essays in 75 minutes. The 20 questions were to test our factual knowledge that we had gotten from the book. Now I read all 14 chapters in that book, I'm pretty certain this is the only class I've ever kept up on my reading for in any class ever, and I even take notes!
