SUMMER TIME!



It's that time again. When I feel bad that I havent updated my blog.

I've been pretty busy with summer school... My history class is kicking my butt! Like no joke... I have a 59 in the class.... luckily the credit transfers, not the grade. I finished my political science class. It was alot easier than I thought it would be. I got it all done 2 weeks early, and so now I can just focus on my history homework. boo.

I have been working a ton! It is insane! Because our assistant manager left, I have to basically cover her... and still get paid for the 'key holder' which I think is wrong. But oh well.

I have spent every pay check on various things. First paycheck was used to payback family for money they gave me, and some shoes. :/

The second paycheck was used to get new glasses, and some clothes... :/
Ugh, I'm so bad with my money. But next my paycheck will be used to pay for my summer school. Great...

I've been practicing piano alot more often, and I'm getting my chops back... well the little chops I had. hahaha. I catch myself randomly sitting down and playing a tune.... especially if I am cooking, :/ Ive actually burnned some noodles doing that.

I spend alot of my time at my friends place... She is taking an english course, and she asks for my help all the time. It feels good to be able to use what I learned to help her. :] I like helping.

So today for church, I wore my new dress which is kind of vintage... I guess. I really dont know... all I know is I spent 13 dollars on it, and I like it. Well it looks like something my mom would have worn when she was my age.. so I kinda 'waved' my hair... with the 70's feathering on the sides... hahaha, I looked like my mom. :] cute right?

The relationship status is still the same as before. But whateverI take things a day at a time.

Here are some more recent pictures. :]

Boo to reality

Man, it has been quite a while (sorry ben). I might want to get all caught up.
Well, I am home, and the first thing I did was clean the house. And like good clean. It really needed it. Our house was in bad shape. After cleaning, I had to go to work.... now... I dont have a car, so I have to ride a mile to work on my bike. Not my cruiser, but the trek aluminum bike. It really isnt too bad at all. It is super nice because the weather is so nice... but once it gets hotter, I dont know if I will be able to stand it.
I worked alot just the first week... and got a nice little paycheck that is gone now thanks to school. But I feel good knowing that I paid for it. I also bought myself some shorts, shirts, and shoes. :D im very happy with those. I get paid again on the 12th so I can't wait. It will be an even nicer paycheck.

Last weekend, while babysitting, I got a call from my friend Ben. He asked me if I planned to go to Arkansas for the YSA conference. I told him that I didnt plan on it because I didnt have a ride... well, 3 hours later he was at my house to pick me up. And at 11:30 at night, we started our 6 hour drive to the University of Arkansas. It was quite a drive... we got in at about 6 and went to sleep in his car. Two hours later we were up and ready for the long long loooonnggg day.
We sat in a gym listening to Sherry Dew speak. We snuck in a few pictures of her. haha. and then we went to a workshop. First was "the wows and woes of dating" it wasnt too bad. I was just super tired. We then got lunch, and then went to our other workshop... all I really remember was the chick was from Branson, and she had something with a chocolate/caramel covered apple, and a chocolate/caramel covered onion. After that, we got free time... Ben and I planned to sleep since we were leaving that night to go home. Instead we went swimming, and then sun bathed a little before we took showers and got ready for dinner and the dance.
The dinner wasnt too bad. When we were in line for our meals, there was a guy in front of us, and his friends up and left. So I invited him to eat with us. Turns out he is one of the funniest guys I have ever met. He was drum major at Tulsa University and is 6' 5"!!
Then we had a fireside... and Orien sat with us... mainly because I had candy. Then after some chick-fil-a we went to the dance. Not too bad. I actually enjoyed it. Then it was a 6 hour car ride back... not much happened since we were so exausted... except that Ben got pulled over for going 53 in a 35 construction zone!!! and got away with a warning. The officer thought I was his wife!! BAHAHAHAHA.

The following Sunday was my bestfriends graduation day! Congrats to her!! I spent the next few days with her family, and worked some.

Yesterday I came home from work, and surprise we got a cat! She is named Janis Joplin, or JJ for short. Her real name was Cowpatty but my mom didnt like it. She now is in my room, and loves it much better than my moms. :] I want to keep her.

Now that I am all caught up... I need to think of a good song.
I changed my mind.. Ive been listening to them alot lately.
