As I have been lounging around the house for the past week or so I have thought a lot about this next year. Yes, I'm being cliche about this with the New Year and making resolutions. Even with this new year coming (tomorrow), I have been thinking about next year for a long time.
To start, I am actually going to work out. I know I say it every year but this is THE year. I desperately want to be in shape-with a flat stomach! And with my class schedule this next semester, I can fit working out in perfectly. To go hand in hand with working out, I will be eating healthy. No more greasy unhealthy food for me. New Year's Eve will be my last night for it.
I want to be a better friend. Last semester was different for me. I was very busy with school work, RA stuff and AE work so I would use that as an excuse not to hang out with people although I knew perfectly well that I would just waste time in my room when I could be hanging out with someone. I won't let anything bog me down and I'll be hanging out with my friends more.
I want to be a better Resident Advisor. Last semester was not my dream semester in regards to resident advising. I thought it was gonna be a breeze and that all my residents were going to love me. That definitely was not the case. I went into thinking it was going to be the same as the past two years where everyone got along and we had a super awesome community. So with that being said and remembering that for next semester, I have some big plans in this head of mine. For starters, I'll be handing out a program survey at the first meeting so they can tell me what they're interested and I can plan the proper programs that they'll *fingers crossed* attend.
Going along with resident advising, I have to think about where I want to live next fall. I really really want to move off campus and I have a cute apartment that I can move into after my friend moves out after the spring semester. But then comes the problem of how am I going to pay for it and would I get a roommate or live by myself? If I did get a roommate, who? Those thoughts have me leaning more towards continuing to be a RA next fall. If I did that though, I would not want to be on the same floor as I am now. I've been on that floor for 3 years, it's time for a change. I would love to move down to 2nd floor of Decker...they get their own bathroom! Plus, with being an RA again, I would still be getting a pay check (hopefully 2 since I don't plan on quitting or being fired from AE). I've got all that about.
In an interest of saving money, I am not going to buy anymore clothes, atleast full priced clothes or clothes from American Eagle. I have more than enough clothing.
The whole not buying clothes thing is to save money so I can afford my plans this summer. I am trying to go to Uganda, Africa for an internship. Not only do I have to overcome the obstacle of saving the money for the trip, I have to overcome the HUGE obstacle of telling my parents my plans. eeek! I've known about this trip for probably a little under a year and I've put it off this long. I am even planning on meeting with the lady who I will be working under/who started the organization in Uganda next week. So I need to tell them before I have that meeting.
That is everything that I have going on in this crazy head of mine at the moment.

I really want to blog and I'm going to try and stick to it. forrealz. Although it will probs be difficult since I am taking 17 hours this semester (2 of those courses being 300 level religion courses{!!}), being a RA, bible studies, worship services, hanging out with friends and working at American Eagle but I believe I can do it!
I am going home this weekend for my sister's bachorelette party and bridal shower. I'm so stinking excited!!!! You have no idea. I'm excited to be going to a bachelorelette party, a bridal shower and to spend the weekend at home. I have never gone home for the weekend in college before so it should be fun. Plus I've never been to a bachelorelette party or bridal shower so I'm pretty stoked. I'm especially excited for the bachelorette party because my sister has chosen to do 2 of my favorite things: paint pottery and eat, especially at Primanti Brothers. yummy. I'm so glad my sister misses the good 'ole burgh so we can go to Primanti's. It is by far one of my favorite restaurants, ever. I'm basically drooling right now just thinking about it. Painting pottery is just so relaxing for me too so that'll be good. Oh! I'm also excited because I am going to go to Victoria Secret's and get the bio fit 7 way bra. YAY! Oh (again)! I'm also really excited about going to my home church, HPC! I've missed it and the people. Can't wait to see them all. All in all, this weekend should be really really good. :)
I'm glad my sister is getting married later in my college career because I know if she would have gotten married during my freshman year and even into the beginning of my sophomore year I would have been dreading going home and not excited at all. Now that I actually have been trying to work on my families and mine relationship I miss them and junk and want to go home to see them. :)

February-March!
still FEBRUARY
K, so my friends and I did get to go to Winter Jam! It was so good and a lot of fun. I was super excited that Tenth Avenue North was there and performing!! I was upset that they only performed 3 songs but whatev, atleast I've gotten to see them live! I also discovered a bunch of new artist that I have to download their music. haha. I especially liked the band, Sidewalk Prophets, that performed a cover of Man in the Mirror. :)
Didn't do anything special for Valentine's Day...just another ordinary Sunday. Did laundry, homework and hung out with my beefs. :)
February 19-21: Went on an Adventure Friday with Hannah, Brittany and Damber!! yaya! We went into Shelby and stopped at the hospital for Brittany (so she pick up some volunteer papers), to a coffee shop and ink link so Hannah could get her industrial re-pierced. Yes! I love adventure Fridays, although they usually consist of going around boiling springs to discover places but this one was good too. Then, the next day was RA interview and carousal day! That went well, we had to go through different situations-planning an event, answering voicemails, hiring a staff and creating a commercial for the residence halls. We were in groups for this section so I wasn't by myself, PTL! haha. Then came the interview...dun dun dun. It went really well, I knew my interviewee person pretty well, Heather. She was great and the other two guys were cool too. yeah, it was 3 to 1. no bigs. I was the first one done, not sure if I should have taken that as a good sign or not, whatev. Then I went to go get some food because the cold cut sandwiches they served us are not my favorite. hah, oh the life of being a picky eater. Then I went to the lake and sat on a swing with Mary Catherine. So good! It was nice and relaxing. :) Later in the evening, Brittany, Mary Catherine, Gina, Darelle and I watched Zoolander. I love that movie and I was so happy that Darelle was there. He makes me smile. He is a good friend. He ended up running out of Decker because of something which was hilarious. Oh Darelle. Then Sunday, went to church, did homework and laundry, you know the usual. Had a Guatemala meeting/dinner with the gang. Had some really thin pizza. ha. Then after my meeting I went over to Hapy to help Phillip study for his German oral exam. Yes, I know what your thinking, me help someone study German? Crazyyyy. But I did and he said I helped, which is good. Although he could have been lieing, who knows.
Wednesday, 24: I went to all my classes and then I spent the entire afternoon/evening studying for Western Civ. yuck, i know but Phillip came and helped me study a bit before dinner and then Gina helped me study after my Guatie meeting. Then Phillip came to help again and Gina left. I learned that I actually can do group-ish studying, although that wasn't really group studying since they didn't have to study it but I think me saying it out loud helps a lot. So that's good to know, better late than never! I took the test the next morning and felt really good about it. When I got it back, I wasn't cringing and actually wanted to get it back, I got a 78% on it! yay! I'm definitely having study buddies in the future.
Thursday 25-28: I went on a road trip to Salisbury, MD to visit Sarah at graduate school at Salisbury University! yayayay! I had a road trip buddy for a good bit, I took Hannah to Richmond so that she could go home. :) I'm real glad she got the chance to go home. I had a good weekend. Christine came down from Pgh so that we could have a sister's weekend. We didn't do much but that was okay with me because I wanted to have a relaxing weekend anywaysss. I watched Season Three of The Office, went to a sushi bar (ew), tried on my bridesmaid dress (!!), baked a cake, watched The Ugly Truth and just hung out. So good. Came back on Sunday and made it back in time for guatie meeting at 7! boo-yah, we made good time (oh, picked hannah back up in richmond).
MARCH!
Started March off well by going to classes, working out, watching Chuck and bible study. :) Now, I watched Chuck in Hapy with Phillip and his friends, which is fine with me but the entire time I felt like it was awkward and I had no idea why. Couldn't really question it though because I had to leave to go to bible study. Oh well. On Wednesday, I went to go see the play Big Brother to support Darelle. That was one weird play but it was good, nonetheless just not really my type of play. Friday I found out that I did get the RA job, on decker and on the same floor that I'm living now! yayayay! and I got my computer fixed from having a virus, hallelujah. Then I went to Kings Mountain to spend the night with Melissa! We cooked dinner-lemon pepper chicken and spongebob mac 'n cheese (supplied by me) and then we went to go see a musical that her town was putting on called Radio Gals. It was super cute and I liked it a lot. Made me miss going to see musicals a lot. Then we went back to her house and watched The Soloist, which is really good. We then went to bed, I slept in her brothers bed (he wasn't there for the weekend) and it was most definitely one of the best night of sleep I've ever gotten in my life. No joke. I didn't want to wake up! We then watched the morning show where we discovered Jamie Cullum, an amazing singer/song writer. Look him up. We then went to the Kings Mountain Emporium until Mary Catherine arrived. Then Mary Catherine and I went to Charlotte just to hang out. We ended up going shopping (I didn't buy anything!) and went to actual downtown Charlotte and just walked around. We ended up at a Starbucks playing Farkle. haha. We then left to go to Elevation Church. It was so good. I'm so glad that I got to go back to it, I wish it wasn't an hour away otherwise I would totally go there every Sunday. oh hum. We then came back and I popped in Newsies and was about to change into sweats when Phillip texted me and asked if I was going to be busy later to which I said no, i am just watching a movie. So we made plans to get together and "talk." *Side note-we didn't talk at all this past week beside me telling him that I got a good grade on my WC test and me saying that I saw him outside the coffee shop when I passed him.* So I knew this conversation wasn't going to be a good. So Ididn't change into sweats although I probably could/should have. Well we met and he ended things between us. He said that he didn't see us going anywhere in the future and that he didn't feel comfortable continuing the way we were with me being ready for a relationship and him not being ready. whatev. I am doing alright. I cried after we parted, that's only natural but I did see this coming for the past week since we didn't talk all week. It just sucks because we said the cliche thing that we'll still be friends buttt I have not talked to him since and he has definitely made it awkward because one time in the caf he did a complete 360 to avoid me and according to Tori he looks in my direction when he passes. Whatever. I'm fine with it. I just wish it wasn't awkward because he is a cool guy and I want things to be okay with us because over these past few months he has basically turned into one of my best friends because honestly, I told him everything. That happens. I want to be friends with him! Also, he still has a season of Smallville so I need to get that back from him! and he needs to start not being awkward around me if he wants to watch the rest of them! haha. When I got back from talking with him, Hannah, Steph and Tori all came out and I told them what happened and then we all just sat out there and talked, made me laugh which was good. Then Megan and Lauren eventually joined. We all just talked about random things but it was so good. I love my friends, they've got my back. Tori, Lauren and I stayed up talking until 2 am!! ahah, so late!
That basically brings up to date! I leave for Guatemala tomorrow morning at 4! crazyyyyy. but I'm so excited. I can't wait to see what God has in store for me and everyone else on the trip. It'll be a blast. I'll definitely be journaling while there and then update on here so you guys can all see what I experienced. :)
peace. pray for me.

CELEBRATION WEEK. Best week ever. for those of you who don't know, celebration week is a happening on my campus focusing on revival on campus and in your walk with Christ. basically, awesome. i know right. well, celebration week started with me going to breakfast and working out before dimensions. real good but didn't do much because i had a time limit and my legs were so freaking sore from the butt and gut class that i did the previous night. after i worked out i came back and got ready for dimensions. attended dimensions. it was good. didn't pay attention that well but from what i paid attention to Arthur Mace was really good. Which is a good thing, since he was talking four more times this week. ha. hmm, after dimensions i prob just hung out or did some homework since i do not have classes on tuesdays. i know i went to lunch but don't remember with who. prob with b and hannah or something. then i hung out and did homework for the afternoon, you know. then i went to chick fil a with mary catherine and gina. :) listened to owl city on the way there and had good conversations. met some new people there, mary's roommate anna and hallmates danielle(who i have previously met) and marie. gina asked marie a ridiculously hilarious question, "are you vergin' tonight?" but when she asked it sounded like she said "are you a virgin?" you know, a real personal question. ha. hilarious. P asked if i was going to the verge later to which i said yes and then he asked if he could attend with you guyssss (literally, there were 4 s's. strange). so i said yes, of course. well, came back and hung out until the verge. went to the verge with b and hannah. so glad b came with us! gina and mary sat right behind us. yay! P didn't end up sitting with us after he asked to. jerk. don't understand him at all. cool. hannah came up with the love square. hilarious. P is a big question mark which is so freaking true. Arthur Mace was really good. He talked about how God is NOT about the rules but the relationship and how only appearing spiritual makes Jesus sick. love it. After verge, hung out with Mary and got snacks. didn't talk to P, cool. Went to go pray at 10 for 24/7 prayer. so flipping good. i did not run out of things to pray for or fall asleep. i was worried so much about both of those. things kept flowing through me to pray for, i journaled on 8 pages! granted, they are small pages but still. that's a lot. it was so good. came back to the room and had a good talk with b about how big of a jerky move it was of P to not sit with us at the verge after he asked to which i completely agreed. ugh, whatever. beddd.
umm...so I'm just going to do an overview since i'm wayyy behind.
*prayed for 24/7 prayer again at 4am. so good.
*got snow january 29th. didn't play in it, spent the next day at the coffee shop with mary and gina. good decision. classes were cancelled that monday, feb 1! woot! i had a 4 day weekend since i don't have classes tuesdays. i did nothing school related, basically. i hung out, went to the coffee shop and played games. good snow day.
*went to subway with gina, mmmm. :) they were closing at 6 and we showed up at like 5:56...got out of there in like 2 minutes. fastest check out ever. ate in decker lobby and watched real world.
*watched smallville with P...i think. on sunday night. yes, bc it was the grammys so everyone was in tori's room watching them and being loud and singing.
*went back to classes on wednesday, feb 3. boo. haha.
*nothing too exciting happened the week of feb 1...
*feb 7 i went to josh and blair's house for a super bowl party. didn't really pay attention that well, made gina's friendship bracelet the whole time. really happy the saints, who i was routing for, won! fav commercial was the intel one where the guy was like we'll never come up with something better than this little micro chip thing but a robot rolls up behind him bc they created him, etc. it was cute. all the other ones were vulgar...too many tighty whiteys for me!
*feb 8, played raquetball by myself before bib stud to work out. it was real good. i hit the ball so hard so many times...it flew over to the other side like 3 times.
*oh! i turned in my application to become an RA andddd to The Pittsburgh Project. I set my interview time for RA but I should be hearing back from TPP by sometime next week! ahhh.
*feb 12, went to the coffee shop with gina and mary catherine to finish reading breaking dawn and wait until P and friends got back from dinner. finished book then sat there being real anxious for a good 30 minutes. they ate a really freaking long dinner. geez. watched hp 6. it was good, their movie comments are always funny. nervous the whole night though bc i was planning on talking to P about usss. Wasn't sure how I was going to get him by myself buttt steven needed to go to walmart so him, his gf and P's and steven's friend amanda went with him. ptl. that gave me my opportunity. hannah said it would all work out and it did. watched some how i met your mother before we left. P walked me back to decker, explained the SGA stuff he had to tell me. didn't really follow it because I was real nervous. got to decker door and he was about to say goodbye when i said i had a question. i asked him what we were. and he wanted to talk about it later but i convinced him that we should do it now. so we went to fireside and talked. it was good. long story short, he does like me (which i was worried about) but he isn't ready right now for a relationship. gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. atleast i know he likes me now. and he does see us happening in the future. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
ok. that is a real quick update. oh, we got more snow last night! and me and my friends were planning on going to winter jam in greenville, sc! i hope it's not cancelled because of bad roads. that would really suck.
TTFN.
if you read previously, my 8 am class was cancelled! woop woop! then i went to accounting and took chapter one test.

*got snow january 29th. didn't play in it, spent the next day at the coffee shop with mary and gina. good decision. classes were cancelled that monday, feb 1! woot! i had a 4 day weekend since i don't have classes tuesdays. i did nothing school related, basically. i hung out, went to the coffee shop and played games. good snow day.
*went to subway with gina, mmmm. :) they were closing at 6 and we showed up at like 5:56...got out of there in like 2 minutes. fastest check out ever. ate in decker lobby and watched real world.
*watched smallville with P...i think. on sunday night. yes, bc it was the grammys so everyone was in tori's room watching them and being loud and singing.
*went back to classes on wednesday, feb 3. boo. haha.
*nothing too exciting happened the week of feb 1...
*feb 7 i went to josh and blair's house for a super bowl party. didn't really pay attention that well, made gina's friendship bracelet the whole time. really happy the saints, who i was routing for, won! fav commercial was the intel one where the guy was like we'll never come up with something better than this little micro chip thing but a robot rolls up behind him bc they created him, etc. it was cute. all the other ones were vulgar...too many tighty whiteys for me!
*feb 8, played raquetball by myself before bib stud to work out. it was real good. i hit the ball so hard so many times...it flew over to the other side like 3 times.
*oh! i turned in my application to become an RA andddd to The Pittsburgh Project. I set my interview time for RA but I should be hearing back from TPP by sometime next week! ahhh.
*feb 12, went to the coffee shop with gina and mary catherine to finish reading breaking dawn and wait until P and friends got back from dinner. finished book then sat there being real anxious for a good 30 minutes. they ate a really freaking long dinner. geez. watched hp 6. it was good, their movie comments are always funny. nervous the whole night though bc i was planning on talking to P about usss. Wasn't sure how I was going to get him by myself buttt steven needed to go to walmart so him, his gf and P's and steven's friend amanda went with him. ptl. that gave me my opportunity. hannah said it would all work out and it did. watched some how i met your mother before we left. P walked me back to decker, explained the SGA stuff he had to tell me. didn't really follow it because I was real nervous. got to decker door and he was about to say goodbye when i said i had a question. i asked him what we were. and he wanted to talk about it later but i convinced him that we should do it now. so we went to fireside and talked. it was good. long story short, he does like me (which i was worried about) but he isn't ready right now for a relationship. gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. atleast i know he likes me now. and he does see us happening in the future. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
ok. that is a real quick update. oh, we got more snow last night! and me and my friends were planning on going to winter jam in greenville, sc! i hope it's not cancelled because of bad roads. that would really suck.
TTFN.

my 8am was cancelled this morning due to my professor's basement flooding from the monsoon we had yesterday so i am taking the time to update you, the reader, on my life.
Yesterday, Sunday 1/24, was a good but long day. The day started out well. Woke up around 9 to get ready for church. I was ready before I had to be so I sat down at my desk to enjoy some coffee cake but there was mold on it so I had to scrounge up something else to eat really quickly from the room. Megan and I then proceeded to church at BRCC. Stephanie and Jill were there when we arrived so we sat with them. Church was really good. Matt talked about Phillipians 4:8-9. He talked about not putting off thinking about important things and that you shouldn't have a careless attitude about anything, that's not how life works (he didn't say it exactly like that, i've paraphrased, etc). The music was good too. The CDH (Community Discipleship House) guy who is letting the CDHer's live in his house played the guitar and sang. He is really good, I like him. They sang a new song that I really really loved. I looked it up and it's called By Our Love by Christy Nockels. New favorite artist? I think so. I bought one of her CDs. Here is one of the verses from the song, it's my favorite verse:

Sisters, we were made for kindness
We can pierce the darkness as He shines through us...
We will come reaching, with a song of healing...
And they will know us by our love!
We can pierce the darkness as He shines through us...
We will come reaching, with a song of healing...
And they will know us by our love!
After church, Megan and I ate in the caf. Good ole fried chicken. haha. Then, I came back and changed into me comfy clothes and started in on the homework that I didn't get done the day before. I took a break with Brittany to go pick up the pottery that we had painted the week before! It looks so cool. I painted a mug with a unique handle. I love it. I used it immediately when I got back to the room. I finished up the rest of my homework by 4 so I had the rest of the day to just relax and hang out and that I did! I started to watch an episode of Chuck but haven't finished it yet because it was dinner time. Went to dinner with Megan and Hannah. Nothing that great, I had pizza and some veggies. Then came back and hung out with Hannah while she ate. Then Brittany, Hannah and I went to the meal at BRCC. It was a chili cook off so that's why I ate before I went although I did get me some cornbread and fritos. Yum. We came home and I didn't do much. I looked up some summer stuff, I searched for something like The Pittsburgh Project but so far haven't found anything, I have also looked at The Pittsburgh Project and Lambec for staff options and they are definitely an option. I would much rather prefer to stay in NC but we'll see. Then I made some phone calls. I called my parents, Karen and Erika. SO GOOD. Talking on the phone with Erika made me miss her like whoa, big time. (I should probably mention that Phillip was on the hall hanging out with Lauren while I was on the phone the entire time. We didn't get to talk that much because well, I was on the phone and he was hanging with Lauren, which is fine but he sent me a text after he left apologizing for not really getting the chance to talk earlier. I was not expecting that at all since he was not up here on D3 to hang out with me but that's cool, i guess. I don't understand boys, just gonna put that out there.) After making my phone calls I went to Gina's room. We were going to watch The Real World but she invited a friend over so we couldn't but I stayed anyways. Her friend, Mary Catherine and I, colored Spongebob coloring book while Gina read for NT. Lame, I know. Gina epically failed at entertaining her guests. haha. After we were done coloring and Gina reading, we just hung out and talked for a bit. Mary Catherine is a sweet and awesome girl. I want to hang out with her more. :) I found out that she likes someone that someone else I know likes. What a small world. Geez. Anyways, it turned 11 and she left and I was exhausted so I came back to my house and got ready for bed. It was pouring, well monsooning outside when I returned to my room and B was sleeping so I sat in the little cove, I guess, of my room and just watched the rain pour down for a bit. I love rain so so so much. After a short bit of that, I finally got in bed and immediately was out.

So as I sit here all alone (my friends went to Charlotte for a young life leadership weekend) tonight watching Sweeney Todd and uploading awesome 90's music (it's a new night, still alone but now i'm watching The Dark Knight), I figured I shall try and update about my life for about the past two months or so. Forgive me, I will most likely have forgotten some minor things that I have done but I will have covered the major parts!! :) oh and this post isn't going to be a day to day post like my previous posts have been, that would be ridiculous for me to try and do that. I was just really against being on my computer over break, like legit, the longest i was on one time over break probably was lke an hour and that was only because someone started talking to me on facebook chat.
ANYWHO.
so I left you guys off with the beginning of winter break and getting the job at American Eagle. OMG, I loved working at American Eagle. Yes, it was long, tedious refolding all the clothes that the customers picked up and put right back down without buying and boring sometimes but I truly loved it. I worked as much and as often as I could, whatever shift they wanted me to. Most of the time they scheduled me for only two or three shifts per week but would almost always call me and ask me if I wanted to pick up a shift or two. Naturally, I said yes. At the end of break, the total I made was close to $500. :) Getting a job was definitely a good idea. Now, if only I could have gotten in transferred but stupid AE in Gaffney isn't hiring...but oh well.
When I wasn't working, I didn't do much. ha. But on the occasion when I did get out to do something, that something was real good. Let's see here, what did I do? I hung out with The Physics Brigade-together, seperately, whenever I could. We never really got to hang out with the 5 of us but I suppose we can take what we can get. Some of the things I did with The Brigade consists of a get together at Karen's house for Megan's birthday, playing Wii-Mario Kart with Marissa, watch Saw 5& 6 with Craig and go to Starbucks with the intent to play a game but ending up at Craig's house with Criag and Karen. Everything I did with them was a good time. :) I babysat Andrew and Meredith. A first with Meredith!! It was so much fun, wish Brian would have called or rather text since that is how he always asks me to...at the last minute, the usual, and asked me to babysit again but alas, he did not. I hung out with Erika a few times. We just hung out at her house a lot, watching Gilmore Girls and talking. I spent New Year's with her and her family. I think I have spent the past three years with her at her house for New Year's. We went to go see the Hartwood Lights with her parents (which they paid for...score!) and then came back to her house and watched Gilmore Girls (the usual, haha) and watched the ball drop and as soon as it dropped, GG went right back on. love it. Along with hanging with friends there was some good family time that happened. Everyone was home for the holidays. We ate dinner together as much as possible, tried to go to a family movie but the weather stopped it, we got family pictures taken, went out to eat as a family a few times. You know, real good hang out time. The girls of the family went bridesmaid dress shopping. Sarah and I found beautiful dresses. :) (you can see my dress by clicking the follwing if you'd like: my dress! ) I absolutely love love love my dress. I can't wait to wear it. I can't wait for the wedding. yaya! I also talked to Phillip a lot over break, we would text daily. There was rarely a day when we didn't talk. I really freaked him out once with a conversation we had on facebook chat but it's whatev. I still don't really know what we are, whether he likes me or not. I'm just taking it one day at a time. I have though stopped initiating the convo's, like on FB or with texting. I only respond if he initiates it. I want to be pursued so that's what I'm making him do. So we'll see. I read a little bit over break. Not as much as I would have liked but what I did read was fabulous. I read Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers (so flipping good, I highly suggest it), Eclipse and I started but still have not finished Breaking Dawn. I went skiing at Wisp Skiing Resort in Maryland with my dad and sister, Sarah. I love skiing. Christmas was good. It was weird without my aunt or grandfather there. We had no reason to save any gifts for the afternoon because no one was coming over later. We started opening gifts the latest we ever have at 11! Usually I'm awake at like 8am trying to get everyone awake and downstairs but not this year. I got a lot of good things. A raquetball racket, toms shoes, gossip girl season 2, GW long sleeve shirt, itunes gift card, twilight, HSM 3, Prince Caspian, flash drive, nike running shorts and some other stuff I cna't remember right now. There wasn't really snow on Christmas but bascially the week after christmas and continuing until I left there was snow. :) I didn't make it out to HPC as much as I would have liked. There really was no reason, I just never woke up. My parents never wake me up for church if I sleep through my alarm, that annoys me but oh well. Now, comes the time to head back to school. My parents thought I had to be back at school on a Sunday whereas I reallly didn't have to be back until a Monday but I wasn't one to argur or tell them otherwise so I left Sunday. Instead of going directly to school, I went to Lauren Browner's house to spend the night. So good, love love love her and Mojo!! :)
Now I'm at school. So far, I like my classes and even my schedule! I love not having classes on Tuesday or Thursday. It's pretty much the bomb. So far being at school I attended classes, seen The Blindside for free, hung out with the people I have missed oh so much, donated blood (almost passed out in the chair), gone to Gaffney outlets, done homework, gone to bible study, worked out, gone to the Miss Gardner Webb Pageant, stood in a parking space, gone to women's fellowship and played rock band. It's been a good first 2 weeks of school.
I'm hoping to get back into the grind of blogging daily about my day. I like having the account of what I've done and I know you guys enjoy it too! (atleast I think so ??)
that's all for now.
peace.
