God took a crazy pill this week and is having some fun with my life and I love it!

So my week has been interestingly stressful is how I would describe it.

Monday- oh my mom and I got into a fight when I drove her to the airport, then it was class time, and then Jessie came over for the hills.

Tuesday- Class and I had to accept the internship in cali, but I am so actively looking for another one.

Wed- Cassie and I met for lunch at noodles and then it was class. We had the last stats quiz, so that’s almost done. Then I got home and hung out with Sara then I had to drive Jessie to the airport. When I got back I got a call from AT&T and it was this guy saying that he was going to reactivate my phone. I was like umm I think you have the wrong number because my phone was never lost or stolen today. Then he said that my mom was on the other line and she had called early to turn it off because it was lost or stolen. I was like WTF are you serious. So I asked the guy what time my phone was off because I didn’t notice and he couldn’t tell me the answer, but he was really confused. So after I grilled him a bit more he said he had to get back to my mom and let her know that it was reactivated. When I got off the phone Sara was looking at me and I was just like Oh MY GOD over and over. I couldn’t believe my mom would take that big of a crazy pill and do that. Sara was laughing and was like since when did your parents switch with Mo’s parents. She said that my dad probably was the one who was like Sara you are crazy turn her phone back on. So I called my dad and he acted like he didn’t know what I was talking about, but then I got it out of him. She was upset that I didn’t call her back right away…talk about crazy. I just couldn’t believe it I was laughing this was so ridiculous.

Thursday- Class oh and Cedric had one of the best that’s what she said. We were watching a movie and the movie said two lines and then Cedric just pulled it out. It was so funny. After class I went over to Sarah’s, we ordered a pizza and watched some friends. Once the pizza got there we started to have some fun. As Cal can attest to our states got worse as the night went on. Thanks for entertaining us Cal! We went to the corner store for straws, but I put my jacket on upside down, once we got there we couldn’t find the straws and Sarah was not walking a straight line. We asked the guy who worked there if he had straws and he didn’t but he gave us some free ones instead. Oh and apparently guys if you want money off your rent Sarah thinks I should date your landlord because apparently he was hitting on me ha okay. We went to bed at a decent time, but who knows how good our sleep was because we didn’t hear a thunderstorm move through when the window was open.

Friday- I made some decent headway in my HR paper, it is going to suck to finish it. Then I got a coupon in the mail and I got a free chipotle burrito coupon, so I went and used that. At 7:30 I met Kari at her apartment and we went to AGD’s crush party. It was 80s themed so I got to wear my ugly sweater again. Got to Kari’s and it was raining so hard. I changed there and helped Kari roll up her skirt. Then Jackie drove us for a run and then we went to Melrose to pick Jess and Rachel up. We then had Jackie drop us off at AGD where I ran inside to get Camille’s car key so that we could car bar it and right when I got in the door there was the guy from stats. He looked at me and did an up down and was like you look cute tonight. In my head I was like someone invited you here who likes you at it is not me, so go be with her. In real life I was kinda flirty but like I have to go party. We took the car and went to McDonalds for soda and then chilled in the car until the bus came. We took the bus to the corner bar. It was so empty, it was just our group and some outsiders. (Johanna guess what is on right now Escape from Witch Mountain). We got some drinks and waited for people to get there. We eventually went and danced and man there were far to many penises around me. First some guy came up behind me and introduced himself and started grinding with me, I was like can’t you tell I am having fun with the girls, but I danced with him anyways. Then I left and Kari and I tried to spike the drinks in the bathroom, we got in trouble but we didn’t get kicked out so that was cool. We went back out and danced and then some guy did the come here finger, so that I would go dance with him, I was like ummm no since when am I going to go over to you. If you want to dance with me you come over here. Later he ended up coming over and dancing. He got in front of me at some point and turned around and bent over and I was like WTF is this! Luckily Kate was there she just came in and danced with me so that he would leave. But like two min after he left some other guy was up on me. This one wouldn’t leave when Kate tried to step in and he had his hand really tightly around me and I was like get off. So I just walked away. When we went back and danced again Bobby-stats guy- did the come here finger. He was dancing with the girl he came with and I had seen him kissing her and now he wants me to dance with him. I was like no, but I made sure to walk away cutely to make him mad. There were some other creepers at the bar that Kari wanted me to go hit on and get free drinks, they were older men probably in their forties and whenever a girl would walk by they would turn and watch he walk away, it was creepy. Oh and at one point we were dancing with Jeff (Tallis’ old roommate) and he wrote on the steamy windows OMS creeper. It was so funny. When we left we got back on the bus and went to AGD. Kari and I had to go to the bathroom, so we walk in and there is a guy peeing in the sink and a guy peeing in the stall. Kari was like can’t you see this is a women’s bathroom and they were like they all are this is a sorority. So, Kari turned around to be nice, but I totally watched the guy peeing in the sink to make them feel awkward. When we walked out stats guy was standing there and he wanted to talk to me. So we started talking and he was like you should have danced with me cuz you look hot and I was like hold up you came here with someone. He was like well she likes me and I dunno. I was like go after her and he was like well what about you and I was like go for her. Then he said oh so whats the deal with the bald guy you sit by in class (Tallis, he knows his name but was being a jackass) and he was like whats he got that I don’t have. I was like what the hell are you talking about (at this point Kari was by us) and he was like well you guys just go shopping and eat and I was like he is a good friend and he was like but not as good as me. At this point Kari and I turned into bitches because are you really saying this about a friend, so she and I said you only wish you could be half of what he is. We were like he is a nice guy and way hotter than you. At that point he changed the subject and tried to get on my good side again and started feeling up my leg because I was wearing my running spandex. I also noticed while he was talking to me he wasn’t looking at my face. That was it I was out, so Kari and I went to some other frat. We got in and I convinced the guy I was over 21. Right when we walked in the guy I went to lunch and had coffee with who wont leave me alone was there. I was like shit cuz I was standing in plain light. Kari got a kick out of the fact that we saw both guys tonight. We went downstairs and ran into Lauren, that was fun because it was my goal this semester to run into her at a party. He stayed for a bit, but walked home. We had some popcorn and laughed for a while and then it was sleep time.

Saturday- I just woke up from my nap that I took once I got home. I have to work on a paper and then go to Carlson at four to work on a project. I don’t know what is happening tonight, but I just hope that there are not so many creepers or I hope that I can learn to not attract creepers in the time between now and then. Sorry this was so long, I hope you enjoyed the story about last night.

No more pickles

Wow can you all believe how fast this semester has gone. There are only two weeks left of school and then its finals. It snowed here last night and there is a little snow on the ground and as I look outside it is snowing right now. Does the weather not know that it is May next week, I mean come on SNOW.

Alright well here is what is going on here.

Monday- Class and then Jessie came over for the hills and I had to right a stupid 3 page single spaced paper for marketing.

Tuesday- Class, then I went to go get my car washed. It looked so pretty all black and shiny. I don’t remember what else happened.

Wed- class, oh so funny so the guy from stats sat next to me. WHAT A CREEPER. He came in late and there was a seat open next to me and he thought that he could text me, and I was like that would be a bit weird since you are right next to me. Then Tallis sent me a text that was like oh how cute you saved a spot for your boy. AGG no! So the guy kept staring at me in class, which was kinda creepy. Then he looked like he was going to sleep and then he turned to me and was like you are the only reason I pay attention in class. YUCK, what an awful line. Tallis and I had some fun making fun of him and joking that we were both looking for a hairy man. Ha Ha. After that I met Jackie in front of Carlson and she and I headed over the bridge to meet Cassie. On our way over, we met up with Kysa and Jeff. Jeff said that he and his friends who sit behind me in class felt so bad for me today with this guy. They had a good laugh over it. Jeff is too funny. Kysa was late for class in moos tower, like always (I love you Kysa). Jackie, Cassie and I sat out on the grass outside the Alumni center and watched some hot men throw a football around. It was hot out like 73 degrees, but it felt so good. We hung out there for a while, and then Jackie and I walked back over the bridge and talked. It was good to talk to her and she seemed to be back to the Jackie that I knew from last year. I had to go back to Carlson to meet Kari and Wade for the project. WADE what a weirdo, he got there and slammed his head into one of the Carlson lunch tables. Kari and I were laughing so hard without a sound. We worked on our project and tried to set up Wade with a Facebook, but that didn’t work to well. When 7:30 rolled around Kari and Wade left and I worked for a bit longer then went home. I was only home for a like an hour, then I went to the airport to pick up my mom. We went back to my aunt’s house and the three of us talked until midnight, then I went home.

Thursday- I felt like a college student today. Kari and I went back to her apartment after out morning class and she had my beer in the fridge, so Kari and I and Chelsea had a beer. I went to marketing with a bit of a buzz and I was like I love it. After marketing I had a study to do that I got paid for, then it was off to tour Cal and Zeke’s potential apartment. The landlord was funny and nice and Sarah and I actually got lost on the way over. Hey Cal its AVE not ST. So we tried to get people to help us and that was a challenge, but finally it was her mom that found our way. After we toured we went back to her place and talked to Zeke on skype then went to Chipotle for dinner. It was pouring we were soaked by the time we got back. We watched the office and friends and then I went home.

Friday- I met up with Amy and Tallis to go over stats in the morning, then I had to be back at my apartment at 11:15 to meet my mom and my aunt. We went to downtown St. Paul for lunch with my cousin. Then we swung by my apartment to go to the bathroom and then we went to the mall of America. It was so freaking hot in the mall. I got two pairs of shoes, four shirts, and a pair of pants. My mom and my aunt went into forever 21 with me and they stood and laughed at some of the clothes because it is what they wore in the 70s. They also made the observation that all the clothes that are in style are recession clothes. They are yellow, red, orange, pink, and other bright colors, which I guess are recession colors because the color is the thing that helps people feel better. After shopping they went to the liquor store and then I met them back at my aunt’s. We had cheese and crackers, watched the news, played cards and chatted.

Today- I am going to meet my mom and then we are going to go to lunch. Then we are going to Rosedale for more shopping (I love having my mom here, my closet gets revamped). Then who knows, but it is nice to be hanging out with my mom.

This week is going to be lower key, but the next week after that is going to kill me, so I might try to get things started. Oh and for everyone who knows, my pickle is no longer a pickle!

Glorious

Hey everyone, this week has been crazy and I know that I have been super busy, but nothing seems as important as drinking my tea right now. I may have to take a break during this to go shower cuz Sara is in the shower right now. Oh my gosh, a tila tequila part two commercial just came on “things didn’t work out with Bobby, so now I am looking for another person.” “HEEEYYYY”

So, Kari wanted me to talk about last Sunday, so here is last Sunday: So Kari decided to come over to work on our project, so after a few minutes of us talking we ordered pizza and called Wade (can I just say that we both really think he hates us and I find that so funny because we are doing all of his work). Once the pizza was eaten, we decided to go find somewhere else that has the internet and is better than mine, so we walked to Caribou well it closes at 8 on Sundays (who the hell closes at 8 but whatever), so we went over to Starbucks. We grabbed a table inside of barnes and noble and got ourselves coffee. When we went to go sit back down, the guy from Barnes and Noble came over and was like don’t settle in because they were closing in like a minute, so we had to find a place in probably the smallest Starbucks ever. Since there were no spots inside, Kari and I decided to grab a table outside (it was probably only 53 degrees). We sat there for a while and I played some classical music off my computer and the people outside were giving us the weirdest looks. Kari and I were laughing so hard because she couldn’t feel her hands and people inside were looking at us like we were crazy too. After a while we couldn’t take it anymore and headed back to my apartment and finished up the project.

Monday- After class, I went over to Jessie’s and she dropped her baby off with a neighbor and she and I went running. It was such a nice day and we did the run we used to do it high school and it felt so good to be outside of where I normally am. Then she came over to watch the hills and talk.

Tuesday- Class and free lunch because of business week going on. I don’t remember much else (oh the first woman won the Biggest Loser).

Wed- Class, oh and then I went over to Mike’s dorm to chill for a while and use the hub. When Tallis was done with class he gave me a call and I met him upstairs and then we went to dinner in Comstock. Holy cow what a good dinner that was, there was fish with dill and lemon, brown rice, and green beans (oh wow that sounds so good right now). After dinner we were off to my car and then it was time to shop. It was such a nice day out, probably like seventy degrees and it was so much fun. We drove around in Bloomington/Edina and then went to the southdale mall. That mall has seriously gone down the shit hole half the shops are empty. On our back we had some problems getting onto 35W north for some reason, so we had a bit of an adventure and that was fun. Once I dropped Tallis back off at Comstock I went home and chilled.

Thursday- I went to school early to try to get a small t-shirt, but even though I was the first person to get breakfast, there were no smalls. So, Andy Post made my day when I walked into class because he had grabbed a small one for me, so I traded my medium for the small and I was good to go. The rest of the day went fine, I think, and then it was time for management. I love that class and I have no idea why, I just love listening to Goldman and the points he talks about. We got out early, so that was nice. I decided not to go to bar night because I didn’t really want to go to it and I had a shit ton to do because my mom is coming next week and I don’t want to be doing homework while she is here. Oh and I have totally gotten into the show sex and the city, so that is now my guilty pleasure to watch and I got to watch it on Thursday.

Friday- So I woke up, had my tea and cheerios, then I headed over to Caribou because I had to register at 11:15. Once I started to register I realized I read the times of one of the classes wrong the other day when I made my plan, so I was like shit shit shit. But it ended up being okay and working out better. Now I only have class two days a week and the classes I am taking are OMS 3001, FINA 3001, ACCT 3001, MGMT 3033W, MGMT 3040, and BA 3000 all on either Tuesday or Thursday. Then I worked on my mom’s calendars. When I got back I called Jessie and she and I went to best buy and bought some movies and then to the grocery store to buy dinner. We went back to my place and chilled and had a little drinky drinky while listening to my music. When Sara and Mike came back from their dinner, Sara figured it out, but I don’t think that Mike got it and that was seriously funny to us.

Saturday- Now I am here working on this. While writing this I have showered and went and got a coffee. In one min I will be leaving to go get Andrew and Cedric from Comstock and then the three of us are going to Tallis’ Frisbee thing. That should be fun. Then tonight Mike, Gerardo, Erin, and I are going to chill here and have some fun!

Have a good week everyone there are only so many left. Oh and Zeke where is my postcard????????? Love you all!

Crazy busy or just crazy you be the judge!

Hey everyone, so there are only four weeks of class left and yes I get that that is a blessing, but do you have any idea how much shit I have left. Management 3010 is too much work and I am contemplating droping my entre major cuz I will never use it and I want to get the hell out of Minnesota asap. So there have been crazy things happening this week and then there have been things that have been dragging me down and those are the ones that suck. I wish you all were back so that I would have more good friends. I am sick of being spread so thin that I can't handle it and I hate hearing things about David (he came to the U on Wed and hung out with Heather and Lindsay and talked to Kysa) it just drives me nuts because he never really wanted to hang out at the U when I was dating him and now I hear he shows up and sees people. There is a silver lining, Kysa said he didn't look like he wanted to be there. I just feel like its like an invasion of my space to know he is at the U. I am so damn scared of him and hurt by him that I don't want to hear that he is that close to me. Like on Sunday I ended up driving behind him on river road and I was just like are you kidding. Maybe are you kidding me should be the title this week cuz I definatly said that a ton.

Monday- I don't really remember much, but Jessie came over for the hills and she stayed until like 12:30 and then I talked to Kysa for an hour and Mike after that, so I was up until like two thirty.

Tuesday- All I can say is that I was tried. Don't remember anything exciting happening so yeah.

Wed- CRAZY DAY!!! Started off at nine am and I met Craig at the purple onion for coffee and we chatted for like two hours, I got a parking ticket (which I figured I would get so whatever) and then I drove Craig to class and then I was off to meet Cassie for Lunch. It was fun to catch up with her and she has a new boy too! Then it was class which I was late for, then after class I had to work on our presentation for Mgmt 3010 and I didn't get home until seven. I watched the twins then went and worked out and attempted to study for my mktg test but the thing is I really didn't care about it so whatever.

Thursday- The presentation went horrible! Kari and My part was fine, but our prof thought we werent clever enough on how to get info and then Wade called himself a tool in front of the whole class and then he shot down everyone's ideas in the discussion. After class I was so pissed and my marketing test didn't go that well, but who cares. HR was fine boring like always but we went over the final stuff, so basically that class is over. Management is my favorite class and Cedric and I had fun. After class I ran into this cute guy I had class with last semester and I have seen him on a thursday before so we chatted and then he was like well I guess I will see you next week, so yeah that should be sweet. I went over to Sarah's after that but it took a half hour to get over there cuz of the shitty weather. Once I got there we decided to order pizza and they guy who delievered it was super chatty and nice, so that was fun and he thought the power went out cuz there was a light out and we were like no this apartment place is just a shit hole. We watched the office and friends and played cards.

Friday- I slept in then I can't really remember how I spent my time yesterday and I really don't have much to show for it either. Cassie, Kysa and I decided to have a girls night, so I brought my DVD/VCR over to Grand Marc because theirs was broken and I looked so sketchy walking around with that. We played nerts with Jackie and Alex too and then we started to watch Runaway Bride. Kari called us right at the begining and she needed to be picked up from the AGD formal, so Kysa, Cassie and I went. First we dropped Cassie off because she had a test in the morning and then we went to pick up Kari. Jeff (Tallis' old roommate) walked over to the car with Kari and he was chatting with Kari, Kysa, and I and he knew who I was which was really funny and I think we might go out with him next weekend which would be so random. We went back to Grand Marc and watched the movie. Alex and Jackie were asleep in front of the TV so that was interesting and then Kari went off to bed because she just wanted to pass out. It was such a nice night to hang out with the girls cuz the weather was shitty and it felt good to be with people who I haven't seen or hung out with in a while.

Saturday- This morning I woke up and had my tea and just felt weird about stuff, so I talked to my mom and I ended up telling her that I partied last year like every night and that is why it is hard for me not to be friends with David any more because he got me back to the person I was before my left went down the drain during senior year of high school. So that was nice and now I feel closer to my mom. I am also looking into transfering to a UC school that has a great operations program because i really just can't handle how sufficating Minnesota feels to me. Right now I am at my aunt's house doing laundry. Tonight, Mike, Mike, Sara, Erin, Anna and myself are going bowling for my cousin to raise money for her breast cancer three day walk so that should be a blast.

Tomorrow- Kari is coming over and we are doing out mgmt 3010 feasability thing so that will be no fun and this week is not going to be as crazy as last week, so that should be wonderful oh and it is the biggest loser finale on tuesday exciting and it is bar night on thursday yeah!

Have a good week!

I Can't Say No

Hey GUYS!!! What a crazy week, I am warning you I am watching this while watching America’s Next Top Model from last week, so if I don’t make sense while writing (although then it will just sound like I am talking). What do you think New Yorkers think when they see all the TV shows being shot on the street. I learned something about this week, I can't say no. I have never been able to say no because I always feel bad when I say no because I know that it is probably something I can do. There has only been one guy that I have dated that I wanted to date and the rest it was just because I felt bad because they put so much effort into me that I felt that I couldn't say no. Also, I feel like with other things when people ask me to do something and I have the ability I will say yes, this doesnt mean that I want to. I guess once you know me there is a huge difference between my yeses there are some where I am like sure whatever and then there are some where I am jazzed. That is not good, but it will probably never be changed.

Well here is my week (oh and sorry for the drunken facebook posts again)

Monday- hmm class, crap I made a promise to myself that I would remember but now I can’t, oh yeah I put RAM in my computer (Cal would be proud) and it works amazingly well.

Tuesday- I am so sorry this was a crazy week and all I remember is class, oh and Kari and I had lunch with Mike W. at Bleecker Street.

Wed- I went to school early to meet Sam to get the case study and ran into Clark at the same time. Clark and I had a very interesting conversation where I felt a bit attacked, but oh well (oh my gosh there is a show on the CW called farmer wants a wife and the farmer is hot and I would marry him in an instant we could have my cows!!). Then it was class and then I went to Comstock to chill until the group was going to meet for the case, and in the mean time I hung out with Mike and Anna. Gosh what a cute couple, I adore Anna and she is that perfect balance for Mike (I sound like an old lady). The three of us had dinner and had a great time then it was off to Carlson for a night of hell. Sam, Mike, Andy and I worked on the case until super late and we got a ton done and we had fun and decided to fire sue that bitch and there were defiantly some fun times. When I got home at about 2 Sara was still up and I was like see ya I am going to pass out now. I could not fall asleep because all I could think about is lead times and how to fix them.

Thursday- Woke up and felt like death, well not really, but I felt exhausted because I was still not over being tired from the weekend. Class was interesting I guess, nothing special. After my morning class I went to Chipotle to meet the guy from last weekend. The lunch went great and yes I was able to eat Chipotle while still managing to look cute (which I was asking everyone how to do). We will see what happens, I will keep you guys posted I dunno we will see. Then it was back to class for the boring part of the day, I was having a super hard time staying awake. But in HR it was time for evaluations and man I went to town on Sid and it felt damn good. During management Cedric and I decided to leave early because I had to meet Sam and he and the rest of those guys had to go look at a house. Sam, Andy and I went to dinner at Panino’s and had a blast, it was cool to finally get to know Andy rather than just working in class or on this case with him. The case sucked and we were going crazy by three am and when four am rolled around we realized we had crap, so we tossed in the towel. By the time we left Carlson all the lights were off in the building and no one was left. We were up on the second story of the atrium and were saying fuck so loud in resounded through the area. When I walked outside it was no longer dark out, but a bit dusty and the damn birds were chirping. I walked down 19th and didn’t see a car, no one was out, I drove down river road with “I want to talk about me” by Toby Keith blaring out of my sunroof and car windows! I got home and just was dead, but my brain was still going it was hard to fall asleep.

Friday- I slept till noon and the only reason I woke up was because the mailman came and woke me. I handed in stats at caribou and then worked on my schedule for next semester, which is going to kick ass. Then it was time to go out for the evening. I met Sarah and Rachel at Joe Sensors and we had dinner and watched the twin’s game and NCAA men’s gymnastics (man are some cuties on the team). We made a liquor store run and on the way Tallis called and I am sure he thought I was wasted when I was talking to him because I was being so crazy haha me being crazy what?! Sarah, Rachel and I had a blast just chilling and at about one thirty, Sarah and I decided to go on a walk around the block and found a fence (?) and took a picture with it and damn how the hell did I get my leg up that high in the picture. Then we found a huge tree in someone’s yard and went and sat against it. While we were sitting there, there were three guys across the street and one guy carrying pizza’s fell and we yelled across the street to ask if he was okay. One of his friends ran across 4th to figure out what we were saying and then the other guys came over too. The guy who fell’s hand was disgusting and bloody and we offered bandages, but he didn’t want any. I started to walk back to the house and Sarah kept talking to the guys and somehow we invited them up for drinks and some water. We weren’t even thinking that something bad could happen we just want to help these guys. Their names were Scott and Evan. Evan left earlier than Scott and it turns out that Scott’s aunt was my English teacher in high school (talk about small world). He was a person who worked at like a Wikipedia type place… I have no idea all I know is that nights with Sarah always end up crazy.

Saturday- We woke up to birds chirping and lordy was I hung over. We talked to Kelley and looked over the drunken posts we did (Johanna is now J-town just letting everyone know) oh and Zeke we asked you how do prono businesses make it in California and we expect the answer. The rest of the day I tried to study, but at one point I ended up going up to take a nap and man I passed out hard core. And that brings me to know.

Sunday- Tomorrow I need to study, but am meeting Kari at Carlson to work on a project.

This week I have two midterms, a paper, and a presentation, so it should be interesting and I think I am going to go out with the guy again. I don’t really know where that could be going, but I don’t know what I want or anything. I just wish that I could know what was going to happen and I wish that it was freaking summer because I am freezing right now!
Have a good week you all!

Finally a good time

Hey guys another week is down and jezz are things crazy here!! So I have had a really good weekend so far partying and having a ball. Alright here is my week.

Monday- well it was back to class and hard to wake up, but I got a call back from my interview the week before and I was offered the internship, so that’s exciting. Jessie and Dan came over and we hung out and watched old videos from high school that a group of us made in Wisconsin dells and it may be a bit too close to soft porn, so we had a laugh and then watched The Hills and talked about Iraq.

Tuesday- hmm oh intro to entre started and Kari and I decided the class wont be that bad. Other than that I don’t remember what happened.

Wed- seriously I have had a mind blank this week cuz I can’t remember.

Thursday- Class and during school it was decided that Sarah and I would go to AKPsi at night with Kari and her friend Charlie and other people. So Sarah and I made mac n cheese for dinner and then we made some hurricanes with Rachel and made the Fanta and red wine drink. Once we were ready we went to Grand Marc and had stuff there and then it was off to the frat. But Kari had a creepy friend over for the weekend (crazy story about him he called her on Thursday at 3:30am, they talked till 4:30 and he decided to come to the cities, so he got here at 6:30 in the morning and he is here this weekend to find a girlfriend) and apparently he said something to her about me and so we made up a story that I was complicated with some guy haha. So the party was lame, but we were drunk, so it makes it not as bad. Sarah and I walked back and then made popcorn and penis jell-o, which is green jell-o in her penis mold. There were shenanigans with me wanting to put popcorn in the jell-o and Sarah and John decided to get it out and eat it. Then Sarah and I made ourselves stay up and watch a Friends episode and we barely made it.

Friday- So woke up at Sarah’s and headed back to my house. Got home and took a nap, then Tallis called to go over Stats and then I was up, so I got ready and went and handed in my Stats. Then I babysat for only one of the girls. We biked around the neighborhood and played at the park and built a fort. We also had a conversation about ducks and sea gulls and she clearly told me that ducks are not sea gulls and sea gulls are not ducks. Came home had dinner and then get ready for a hot night out and holy crap I wish I could always have that much fun! Went over to Sarah’s and then Rachel, her, John and I went to Applebee’s in Roseville and got half pricers and Sarah and I had to watch Rachel and John order drinks and enjoy them. Then when we got back we made drinks and got ready. We were looking pretty sexy according to John and left to go to triangle. There were a ton of really nice guys there and I snagged one who was super tall and cute and a packer fan from Madison. He played on my team against Sarah and his friend for beer pong and we chatted it up, so we will see defiantly enjoyed the night of dancing and being in the company of a nice and cute guy. After the party Sarah and I went back with John and Rachel and Sarah and I facebooked afterwards, so sorry to anyone who got a weird wall post, but laugh at it okay. So then she passed out and I went to bed too.

Saturday- woke up because they had a freaking showing on their apartment at nine am and their landlord didn’t tell them. So we were pissed and up, so Sarah, Rachel, John and I went to Maria’s Café for breakfast, they had the best pancakes blueberry my favorite. Then I went home to find Sara cleaning, so I joined and we hard-core cleaned our apartment like it looks like someone is going to tour. Then a lady from the Republican Party came over and we chatted with her and had a good time and now we are procrastinating by organizing our kitchen. Oh and the guy from last night sent me a message on facebook that he wants to hang out sometime when we aren’t drunk and I am going to go to a party at his house next weekend. Tonight I need to take it a bit easy, so Sara and I are making grilled chicken Caesar salads for dinner and Jessie is on her way with Alexis!
Alright guys, I cant sit still any longer….have a good week and I miss you guys. Hope everyone is doing well. Sorry this isn’t as in depth… I’ll give the whole story on skype

Sea Gulls are Ducks

Hey guys what a week this has been! I have been in the warm sun all week long, right now I am writing this while on the plane from SFO to MSP. This is going to be long, sorry guys its been a busy week.

Anyways here is what my week has been.

Sunday: My dad and I went shoe shopping to find shoes that fit with my suit (as I am writing this in my head the word shoes is really shoooees and suit is really suuiiit). He and I stopped at shoes pavilion, but didn’t find anything then it was to dress barn, which holy crap cute dresses, I am defiantly going there when I get back to MN I need to go shopping real bad. Then we met my mom who gave me my suit jacket that I left at home. My dad and I had In-n-Out burger for lunch (so good it hit the spot) then went to the mall. I found some cute brown heals and then that was it. I think we had filet mignon for dinner and then I can’t remember anything else.

Monday: It was my interview day, so I straightened my hair because doing it curly I feel doesn’t look professional, then I had to go pick up my suit pants from the tailor then I chilled and then headed out to Dublin for my interview. It was kind of bizarre how everything went on, but oh well its over with. I got a tour of the operations part of the company and holy cow that was sweet, I had to make it seem like I was into marketing, which I am so not for the interview, but seeing the operations part really tickled my fancy. For dinner we had salmon and veggies for dinner and then I can’t remember. Its so funny my parents have totally turned into the upper middle class California of the area that we lived cuz we eat dinner in the dinning room with the china and we don’t eat at the kitchen table anymore. I think it is so funny that we have candles lit for dinner and we sit in the dinning room and listen to Dean Martin over the intercom.

Tuesday- I had my doctors appointment for my knee again and they took x-rays and ordered an MRI. Then I met my mom at the Danville Chamber of Commerce and she wasn’t done yet, so I walked over to a cute little local store and they had a super cute and a bit ridiculous pair of pink high heals that were screaming my name, so I snatched those right up. Then I met mom for lunch at the Peasant and the Pear for lunch and I had one of the best sandwiches ever. Then she and I went over to one of her listings to do the photos for the virtual tour and they had the cutest dogs. This house was awesome it had two master suites, a game room, a wine cellar, a huge kitchen with a warming drawer and a Viking range. Then she and I headed back to Danville to pick up my car and then she and I tried to get a pedicure, but they were busy, so we went home and waited for my dad and then I have no idea what we had for dinner, but I think we oh yeah we went to Campo Di Bocce for dinner, my mom and I met my dad there and we rode in her car with the top down and I got to wear my pretty scarf around my head to stop the wind from messing with my hair. We ate and played bocce ball after dinner and my dad killed my mom and I.

Wed: We headed out to Capitola, Monterey, and Carmel for the day. We had a cultural experience in the car because we turned our GPS lady to have an Australian accent. We hit up Capitola for lunch on the beach and then we walked out on the beach and the dock. Then we got in the car and drove to my favorite place on Earth Monterey where we walked around and noticed the changes since summer. My mom and I went down to the beach to look for sea glass and we found a ton. It was fun running from the waves and seeing seals swimming. We also went to the wharf were we saw seals sleeping and eating and hunting. That was so cool because they were catching fish and throwing the fish in the air to kill them. Then we went to Carmel, another favorite place of mine, where we sat on our beach and waited to watch the sun set. My dad and I walked down to the ocean and skipped rocks in and I seriously have lost my rock skipping ability because I sucked so bad my dad was laughing at me the hole time and he even tried to give me pointers. I almost hit someone with one of my rocks. Then we went back up the hill to chill with my mom and I decided I wanted to roll down the sand dune, so I did a few times and it was so much fun. Then we watched the sun set and decided to go out to dinner at The Hogsbreath, which is the restaurant that Clint Eastwood owns and I had some really good halibut. There was a family from Norway across from us and their son was absolutely hands down one of the most gorgeous guys ever! He had gorgeous skin and was wearing a navy blue sweater, he had dark hard, and a predominant nose that made him even more prestigious looking. My mom also thought that some horns on the wall were canoe paddles and that made my dad and I laugh hysterically. Then it was time to go home.

Thursday- My dad and I went out to lunch in the livery in downtown Danville, then we ran to Costco and the shampoo store. Then I had my MRI. Holy crap we walked into this doctor’s office and it had a plush couch and I have never been in a nicer doctors office. My MRI was on the knee that is messed up. I started freaking out during it though because I had no idea what was going on and I hate that. After that he and I went home and then my mom, my dad, and I went back downtown and got my hair fixed and then we went to Trader Joes and went home. We did catch as catch can for dinner, which means that we all eat whatever we can find, so I had a Trader Joe’s pizza, then we all watched Dan in Real Life, which was an adorable movie! Apparently at 6:30 the night before there were huge earthquakes that I didn’t get to feel, so I was super bummed because apparently they were larger than usual.

Friday- My mom had to work, so my dad and I took the dogs to Half Moon Bay. But before we left we had to do the essential coffee run, which my dad always does with me in the car, he swings in the Starbucks and gets me a coffee without asking me. The beach was super windy, but it was sunny and the wind meant that there were cute surfers there. My dad and I played football on the beach and ran the dogs in the water and essentially just chilled and got sun. At one point cruiser took off down the beach after some horses so I had to sprint after him and only caught up with him because he stopped to smell a dead fish, dogs. My dad and I headed back at about five o’clock and took a different way home that our bladders didn’t agree with, so we ran into a Home Depot and ran through the store for the bathrooms, I am sure we were such a sight. Then for dinner we had homemade chili and then later my mom and I watched some episodes of Frasier.

Saturday- My dad, mom, and I headed to Point Reyes, which is across the Benetia bridge and past Fairfax. We drove past San Quentin Prison and I waved to Scott Peterson and took a picture. We had lunch at a cute little Burrito place in Fairfax then drove out to the park. We drove over the San Andreas Fault, which was super cool because you could tell because of the low area and the water and the weird peak in the land. We took a shuttle bus out to the lighthouse on the point and I guess this is the most treacherous area of coastline in the whole US. We saw a whale and apparently about an hour and a half before some great white sharks attacked a young elephant seal and there was blood all over in the water. My dad and I had fun walking around the lighthouse and in the wind, it was so so so windy I am glad I brought my scarf for my hair. Then we took the bus to Chimney Rock and we did some hiking to see the Sea Lions and the rock, which the rock is seriously the dinkiest rock compared to the cliffs we were on. We took the bus back to our car at the end of the day and had dinner at a local café in Point Reyes that specializes in organic food and seafood. We had some local cheese for an appetizer than after dinner we all split a brownie sundae. Then it was a longer trip back with my mom singing along to Rod Stewart. When we got back I went up to pack and update my ipod with old music like Craig David and Soul Decision.

Sunday- EASTER. Woke up and my dad was surprised I was up already, so while I ate my cereal he went out and hid the eggs in the backyard. He hid 38 eggs in our backyard and that was so fun to do. My dad even wrote things on little white pieces of paper like study hard and one that was super funny was he wrote don’t let the bastards get you down and I think that might be going on the fridge and now it has become a family joke. Thanks to the Zeke and Sam last year, I have had an Easter Egg hunt every Easter and I always will. Although Zeke and Sam’s Easter egg hunt was way harder than my dad’s and I told him so J. After that I showered and got ready and watched the end of tonight’s Rock of Love (Yum Brett Michaels) and then finished packing. My mom took too long to get out of the house, so no coffee. We turned the GPS lady to British English today and that was fun. On the way to the airport Ryan, Sara’s brother called me looking for her, so she and I got a good laugh out of it. Now I am here sitting on the plane about to go in for landing in the Twin Cities.

I had a blast this spring break and some how it went super fast and it was actually better than the one with David last year. I just found out more from my parents that they really didn’t like him at all, my mom actually thinks he is gay, but that’s my mom. They apparently thought he was rude and ungrateful and needy. This time in California I really didn’t miss talking into all hours of the night with some guy, which hasn’t happened in a long time, somehow in CA I am always on the phone with a guy until super late. I am finally coming to terms with the fact that I am going to be single for a while. This is what I want and I think I really need this to find my inner strength because I have always relied on a guy to be on my side and frankly I don’t need that. I mean hey if a guy wants to be with me cool, but I am not going to go for it just because they like me, that’s what I did with David, I didn’t like him before we started dating and I dated him in the beginning because he liked me and that will not happen again. Its great having guys think your cute or whatever, but honestly making the effort for a guy that I don’t think anything of is a waste of time. The next guy I date will be wonderful, I am just waiting for the person to come around and meet me lol. For now I have decided the gym is going to be where my relationship is.

Well I have to shut down my computer, I love and miss all you guys and hope that you are enjoying every moment of this semester and not wishing it away. If you have a wish make it happen. A wish is a goal without a plan, so get a plan and do it. Have a good week!

The More Guys I Meet The More I Like My Dogs

Hey guys! It is finally spring break and I am out in Cali with the fam. Its hella sunny here and this afternoon I will probably sit out on the deck and chill. This past week was a crazy week in which I barely had any freetime or rather I shouldn't have had any freetime, but I put things off and enjoyed the time as much as I could. Alright here is my week:

Sunday night- the time change messed with both Sara and my mind and we didn't have dinner until like 8:30 and 9:00 and then I made sugar cookies because I felt like I had so much extra time and I definately had the energy. But because of this I didn't get to bed

Monday- I decided to bike to school, so I did, but by the time I got there I was freezing cold, so I called Brett and raided his closet for a sweatshirt. On my way out I stopped by Mike's room and he tried to talk me into his packer sweatshirt, but Brett's was halfway to my knees, so Mike's would have been at his knees. Then I went to class feeling a bit like the scrub of Carlson, but I have decided that Carlson needs to suck it. Class was boring then I biked back and then went to get my oil changed, went to the bank and then to Lunds. I chatted with Sara then she went to class and I did homework.

Tuesday- Drove to class and the marketing test was okay and HR was cancelled because Sid is an idiot. So, I sat and talked with Liz during that time. Then management was just a review and we got out early. Cedric and I walked back to comstock together and met up with Tallis and the three of us went to dinner, which wasn't that great, but hey it was free for me. Then Tallis and I submitted our stats homework and while he was doing his I watched american idol with cedric and alicia. Then Tallis and I headed over the bridge to my car and we went to REI. Then I went home and hung out with Sara and went to bed.

Wed- I couldn't bike to class today because it was going to rain and I was in an especially bad mood towards gretchen because she sent me an email response that was rude and uncalled for and made me feel like shit. Before class I swang by comstock and hubbed it up in Mike's dorm. I also brought him his John McCain hot sauce and I felt so bad because he was so sick, so we chatted then I went to class. After class I went home and I should've studied for management, but decided to update my itunes and ipod (oh gosh now the parent trap is on jezzz my kinda movies today) and watch America's Next Top Model. Sara was laughing at me the whole time cuz she couldn't believe that I wasnt studying for a midterm that was half my grade. I went to bed early, but couldn't fall asleep so I called Mike and he and I talked.

Thursday- I woke up early and showered so that I could study before driving Sam to the airport. I left my apartment at 10:45 to go get Sam from Folwell and drive him back to his apartment where we picked up his stuff and I ate some jelly beans and played with the kitty. Then Sam and I went to chipotle and got lunch then it was off to the airport. Driving him to the airport got me excited to leave too. It was such a perfect day out we drove with the sun roof open. I went to school, was bored during marketing and then Lauren and I had our cookies and cupcake even though we didn't have HR and she and I sat and chatted. Then Tallis walked by and gave me advice about what to do if an earthquake happens. When Lauren left I studied a bit and then Cedric showed up and little while later Katie came by and put both of us in a good mood. Then it was off to the test. John sat next to us and Cedric and John were joking and I couldn't stop laughing cuz I was excited to take the test and be on spring break. I had to rush home and pack and paint my toe nails. Then I threw on sandles and my aunt showed up and I was off to the airport. When i got through security I found the Farve SI and SI special edition all about him, so of course I had to buy and few copies. Then I talked to Johanna on Skype. While I was doing this a ton of high schoolers walked into the boarding area for my plane and I was so mad. They were loud and catty and there were 85 of them on my plane. Once on the plane I sat next to a guy that I have been on the plane with before and one of the students from the big group. The three of us talked and then when we were getting off the plane the guy next to me wanted to swap numbers. Do you know how sick I am of getting picked up on a plane because you are trapped and you have to say yes snd you have to give them the right number because then they call you so that you have their number. As much as I am flattered by guys wanting my number, I really don't want to find a guy when I am not looking. If I were looking then maybe, but who hopes to find a hot guy on an airplane. So anyways I met my mom and she and I drove home. Then when I got here I noticed all the stuff in my room had been touched and thats because my mom got a cleaning lady. I was completely creeped out that someone had touched my stuff and I have no idea who they are and the room that I sleep in my mom rearranged and the inflatable bed wasnt in there any more and all the beds were too hard. I didn't want to fix my room or move rearrange the other room because I had to get sleep cuz I had to wake up early the next morning, so I unpacked and then went into the third room and grabbed blankets and set up a bed on the floor. So, now I am sleeping on the floor. When my parents found out I did this they couldn't believe that now I had taken over three rooms, not the usual two.

Friday- Woke up and then went to my haircut. I chopped my hair off! It is almost as short as it was in highschool like juinor year. I don't know how it is going to work, but we shall see. I also have a seriously hot bang going on too. Then I had to go with my mom to a chamber meeting and then we had to run her errands, then it was off to Walnut Creek to go shopping. I got the most amazing suit ever. It feels like butter in your hands and it is super cute. Then we went to downtown Danville and met up with the tailor ladies and then met my dad for dinner at the tower grill. It was so nice to see my dad! Then we went home and the three of us played cards and then my dad and I watched Varsity Blues which is such a good movie. I was exhausted, so I went up and crawled into my bed on the floor.

Saturday- woke up had breakfast and now I am here. I have been helping my dad with the pool cover but other than that not much has been going on. I think I am going to go read out on the deck in the sun. It feels super good to be out there.

Have a good week!

Sunday = NASCAR

Oh man what a race it will be today! My guy needs a win cuz he is back 10th in points and what is up with the weather in Minnesota why did it snow again yesterday and why was it only like 11 degrees for a high on friday where the hell is spring. NASCAR = spring!!! Doesn't the weather know that. OMG in Georgia where the race is they got a quarter of an inch of snow yesterday what the hell. Boogity Boogity Boogity lets go racing boys (sorry the Kobalt 500 just started).

Ne ways sorry this is coming on sunday I did post yesterday but then it said there was a problem with the server, so now I am posting again!

Okay so now onto the week, which was probably the most emotional rollercoaster of a week ever.

Last Saturday night- I took my drugs for the pain and decided that I probably shouldn't go out, so I studied and talked to people on the phone. It was nice to have a quiet night and be able to sleep in without anyone being loud!

Sunday- I was so proud of myself because I actually got a ton of studying done cuz I didn't have anything to distract me. I turned on K102 and went to town. Then for dinner I made myself baked tortellini for dinner and headed back to my apartment where I made my note cards for stats.

Monday- I got to school early to study before the test and then I met up with Amy and Tallis. Tallis was burning me and Amy was laughing, but I couldn't hear what he said because he mumbles and I am deaf. Then he spilled granola all over himself and that made me feel better haha. Then it was off to the stats test, which I thought went okay cuz i only had like two brain farts, which I figured out! After that I went home and hung out with Sara before she left and then it was a low key night.

Tuesday- Woke up to the most depressing text message ever! It was from my dad saying that Brett Farve was retiring what a sad day in packer history. So, I spent my morning watching ESPN and then i went to class, where I tried to turn on KFAN and other sports radio stations on AM and all that was going on was vikings fans talking crap about Brett and then even on the normal radio everyone was saying how he was just an okay player. WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE INSANE!!! Do they not know that he has three MVPS and the TD record, Passing yard record, consecutive start record, and a ton of other ones. Classes were fine I think and the rest of the day was kinda low key I think as far as I can remember. Today is when I realized that I don't like marketing, so I am changing my major and I am going to do operations management, which I am super excited for because I like the subject and I will have smaller classes cuz no one does that. So no Kelley it is not because of drama.

Wed- Class, but then after class a guy who was sitting behind me came up to me cuz he heard Amy and I talking about my running and after class he and I started talking about it. We walked out of class together and figured out we were both going two different ways, so we went to the lower atrium and grabbed something to drink and we sat and talked for an hour. We decided to swap number and I left school feeling on top of the world, I mean hey I must have looked good right. So I got home and told Sara about it and she was so excited and so was Kysa and Johanna when I told them. Then I got a text from the guy later that afternoon and I was like whoa he is texting me now to wow what a guy. We have so much in common, so we will see how this goes.

Thursday- I have no idea what it is with me this week, but another cute guy sat next to me in class and he and I talked all through class and ended up knowing some of the same people and he was tall and cute. The rest of my classes that day were awful cuz HR is worthless and Management we watched a video about the x-box (why do I care about that) and then I met Sarah in the atrium and she and I were off for our thursday evening fun. We decided to head up to roseville and go to Bakers Square and see Rachel at work. Rachel was happy to see us cuz I guess it was a boring night. Sarah and I had burgers and were laughing at ourselves cuz who gets burgers at bakers square and we were making a huge huge mess I mean I had tomatoes everywhere. We stayed for like two hours and had pie too. I guess bakers square has a monthly pie deal and it was mint oreo pie, so it was super good. We also got to see the group of old men who go every thursday night that Rachel always talks about so that was fun too. Then we walked out to my car which was parked with the lights facing the windows where people were sitting on the other side, so when i turned my lights on i thought that at least some people would look our way but they didn't. So, Sarah said "Flash them" and I was like "NOOOO" in a super offended tone and then she started laughing and was like "I didn't mean for you to show your boobs, I meant flash your brights" and I started laughing because showing my boobs was not was I was thinking, so she and I had a really good laugh about that. We took 35 back to 4th street and it was weird cuz no one was on it and the road just kind of leads you to get off at fourth street. It is like 312 when it ends at Dell Road (I know that no one probably knows what the hell I am talking about. I just did that drive a ton going out to visit David). When she and I got back I showed her the guys on facebook and then we watched Friends and played cards. Then I went home. WHY IS IT SO COLD OUT!

Friday- What a cold day. At eleven am it was zero degrees, I thought this was march! I was really productive and got stats homework done and studied for marketing. It was so cold in my apartment that I made myself two cups of hot chocolate, made with milk not water. I also had the best sandwich ever for dinner. I took it easy the rest of the day and just really focused on studying.

Saturday- woke up and tried to do this but got shot down. I guess I am a bit lonely, but I don't want to go to the effort of opening up to someone. I dunno it just kind stung, but I wish them the happiest times and I hope that things go well for them, I just wish I could get back into the game. Then I went running and ended up running to my old high school, so I went inside and it was like nothing had changed, so it was nice. I wish I could get who I was in high school back because that is who I feel I am on the inside and I wish I hadn't made all the mistakes I did in the past two years. I babysat at four until 9:15 and that was an adventure with the girls. We made door knockers and colored and baked cookies and made dinner and played with a giant plastic ball. After that I went over to Sam's and he and I hung out and watched Oh Brother Where Art Thou which is a super good movie! Afterwards he and I went to town on a bag of frosted flakes, but we didn't even make a dent. When it got late I headed home.

Sunday- This morning was weird cuz my clock said it was 10:15, but my TV said it was 11:15, so I had to call my parents and ask them what time it was and I figured out that it was daylight savings time and went around changing the rest of the clocks. Then I did the dishes and tried to turn on my ipod, which when I was running yesterday it said that it had no more battery, which I know it did because I took it off the charger and it still was green in the corner and it died. So, I think that it actually is officially dead cuz it wouldn't turn on this morning. I am sad, what am I going to run with now?! So I listened to the radio instead, made my breakfast of cheerios and tea and now I am watching the race, but the guy from Wed sent me a text seeing how my weekend was which was really nice.

This next week is going to be interesting as I have two tests and a homework assignment due. Tuesday night Tallis needs to go to REI and since I can't say no we are going and then on Thursday I am having breakfast with Erin and am driving Sam to the airport, but he is buying me lunch in return. Then on thrusday night I am flying to Cali, so in less then a week I will be there. I am so so so so so excited. Alright all have a good week and I miss you all and have a good spring break!

A little later than usual, Sorry Kelley

Hey everyone another week is down and there are only two to go until spring break.

Jump into my week!

Saturday night- Jackie, Sam, and I ended up going to the 80s party at 1301 and Kysa was supposed to come with, but she wouldn't pick up her phone. Sam left after we were there for like an hour because he did his triathalon at the frat that day, so he wasn't feeling the party. So when he left Jackie and I danced a bit and thats when the guy from management came up and started dancing with me. I did not object cuz it is always nice to have a dance partner. Then Alex and Will came so the four of us hung out for a while. Then Will said he would drive Jackie and I back to Grand Marc. But the boys wanted to hit up McDonalds first, so we went there, but then Jackie got out of the car and Alex did too, so Will drove me back to Grand Marc. I got outside the girls' apartment and realized no one was home. So I called Kari and she called Eric and he was only like 15min away, so I waited and then Eric came. We hung out for a while and then it was off to bed.

Sunday- Woke up and then woke Jackie up. She and I talked about what happened and then it was off to Sam's to pick him up for breakfast at the Purple Onion. We met Tallis there and then Kysa came later. It was the perfect way to hang out on a Sunday! We sat and had Coffee and chatted! Then I went home and hung out the rest of the day.

Monday- I had a RUS thing way before class, so I was able to grab a sandwich from Bleeker Street and Holy CRAP are those sandwiches amazing. I may have to start making that a habit. Tallis and Amy joined me before we went to class. Class was boring, but we had our first quiz and it went really well.

Tuesday- Class thats all I remember like I could tell you what I wore, but not what I did...is that bad???

Wed- Class

Thrusday- Class, well only Marketing because Management was cancled and in HR we had a guest speaker. After HR Liz, Danielle and I went to the stats review where we were probably more of a distraction then anything. I made it an hour which I was proud of myself for because it was a bit ridiculous. After that it was off to Sarah's for our thrusday night thing. It took me like a half hour to get over there because it was snowing so hard that you couldn't see downtown from the bridge and because of that traffic was crazy. It took me 15min to get over the bridge. Once I got there Sarah and I decided to walk to Panera for dinner. We went had dinner and walked back. On our way back we were walking faster than traffic was going and that made us feel good about ourselves. We stopped at the corner store so that we could get chocolate chips and make chocolate chip cookies. Once we got back we made the cookies and watched Friends. We are a season and a half through the show, so this tradition may have to be carried into the fall. When Rachel got home the three of us played nerts. Then I headed home.

Friday- So I had to get up to go to a doctor's appointment for my knee and my cold. While the nurse was doing the prelim stuff the power went out, so we waited, but it didn't come back on, so the doctor examined my knee in a room with windows and she gave me Tylenol 3 with Codien (I can't spell that) then she also thinks that I have a sinus infection so she gave me stuff for that. Then I had to go to caribou to hand in Stats homework and holy crap my old high school must have had a half day because there were CDHers everywhere. Behind me were some freshman girls and holy cow they were bitchy. They sat there being like "omg she cried again in TLC what a weirdo who cries that much, I mean she has already cried three times" and "Thank god you are in my values class because there would have been no one cool in it other wise" and "I can't believe she is back in a relationship why does she like him" and it was all in like high pitch voices that made me want to pull out my hair. Then I went back to my apartment and took the drugs the doctor gave me and chilled on the couch. Then I decided to clean, so I went hard core and scrubed the floor and the baseboards, dusted, and widexed the windows. I am so excited to take down the plastic on the windows, but we definatly can't yet. Then Mike called and I headed over to Comstock where when I got there it was just Gerardo in the room. So he and I decided to go and find Mike and Anna in the makeout spot and hit them with nerf bullets out of a nerf gun. We ran around comstock with the nerf guns and I am sure people thought we were so weird. We found Mike and Anna in the girls wing elevator and attacked. Then Mike came back with us and the three of us had a ball hanging out and having some fun! Somehow we were talking about something and I started to sing "Oh lord its hard to be humble" and "Natural woman" so we downloaded Aretha Franklin singing it and laughed the whole time.

Saturday- Mike and I woke up five min before breakfast started, so I was jazzed that I would get a breakfast out of this! Mike, Amy, and I had breakfast together and I made sure to drink my fair share of Milk because I figure thats what costs me the most, so it should cost them the most. Then after breakfast we went upstairs and listened to like two songs and then I was off on my walk across the river to my car. Oh my gosh the weather was so nice that I didn't have to walk in the covered part. I went home chilled for a while then packed my stuff up and headed off the my aunt's house because I figure with how sick my body is I might as well go somewhere where i will be more low key. I made Banana Bread and now am working on this. Tonight I might go to the U but I am really tired and I don't know if the drive will be worth it because i am coming back here tonight.

Sunday- STUDY ALL DAY FOR STATS thats my goal but who knows if that will happen, but I figure I have more of a chance here than I would in my own apartment so we will see.

Hope everyone's week was amazing! I hope to hear from all of you that I haven't talked to yet and the people who I am online with I will talk to you later!

Have a fufilling week!!! Love and hugs for all!

Listening to DMB, Sheryl Crow and Mason Jennings with a Popsicle

Hey guys another week is down! I think there is only like three till spring break. Things are starting to look up and i think that this attitude also comes from the weather being a bit nicer. If I don't make any sense in this post it is because part of my brain is singing to Mason Jenning's Ballad Of Paul and Shelia Wellstone. I can't believe that that was more than five years ago. A girl in my grade mom was on the plane and she died as well. OMG NO JOKE NEXT SONG THAT CAME ON WAS THE FRIENDS THEME SONG.....life is starting to make sense again. "ILL BE THERE FOR YOU WHEN THE RAIN STARTS TO FALL ILL ME THERE FOR YOU LIKE I HAVE BEEN BEFORE!!!"

Moral of this week: The UPS man is out to kill me!

Monday- Well after I got back from Caribou I got ready for school and I was on my way out of my kitchen door when all of a sudden there was a long hard knock on the other front door. I contemplated whether or not to try and get it but then decided that i probably should, so i threw my shoes off and went running through the dinning room just fast enough that i wipped out and went smplat on the floor. I didnt even have time to brace myself for the fall cuz socks and wood floors don't go well. Well my knee slamed into a pointy edge of a wall and I had some choice words then realized whoever was outside could hear me and decided to suck it up and get up and get the door. I went to the door and opened it and oh there was just a package lying there and I looked for the UPS guy and he was already back to his truck. So still here tonight i have an ice pack on my knee and for most of the week my foot hurt so much that i was limping around school. I have a bruise on my knee that is the ugliest thing i have ever seen and it is about the circumfrence of a pickle jar. So then I went off to stats and that night i decided to suck up my pain and run outside. I got some crazy looks as it was 4 degrees.

Tuesday- Class and I can't remember if anything else happened. hmmm

Wed- Stats and then home and then i think i did something but i can't remember

Thursday- After class went over to Sarah's for our friends extravagenza. We didn't watch much this week cuz we started googling 90s shows like Gullah Gullah Island. It probably didnt help that she and I were reading "books". I went home late.

Friday- Babysat my little cousin at my aunt's house. It was so much fun. Then I went home got ready and met mike at comstock, but when I got there he wasn't done with his chem homework, so I went up to Andrew's room where Cedric and him were watching a movie before they went out, so i joined them for like a half hour. Then went back downstairs where mike still had one problem that Anna was helping him with and Brett came in, so Brett and I went back to his room to start getting ready for going out. Mike joined us a little after that, which i when we realized we had no idea where we were going and Mike was like I have the directions but they are on my facebook. Luckily, Paul was driving so we called Paul and he picked us up at like10:30 by then the boys and I were in a pretty good state. I had to lay across the backseat in Paul's car because Paul was driving and Brett and Olivia shared the front seat and then mike and two other girls were in the back so i just decided to lay across everyone. The concert was sweet. Out of Bounds was amazing! I can't wait to get the CD from mike because Ceasar is a kick ass rapper. The another band came on they were kinda like the red hot chili peppers. This is where I realized my life is pathetic because i was dancing with Brett and Mike. My gay friend and a close friend no random guys agg. Afterwards we went to Mesa pizza where I didnt want to go and I ran into my friend Arthur who was at the library and I could see him in the window. Then it was back to comstock, so i went upstairs went to say hi to Tallis, where I ended up staying for a long time talking, but then Cedric came home and that was really entertaining conversation that took place. Then I decided that their futon was way more comfy than Mike's so I stayed there and talked for far to late apparently tomorrow I will be tired for sure.

Saturday (Today)- Woke up with Cedric's alarm that he claimed wasnt his. Then to Tallis' alarm and finally got up at eleven. Went downstairs to get my stuff out of Mike's room and wake him up to say bye. Thats when he asked if we could go grocery shopping. So he and I went to Rainbow because he was making dinner for Anna. We had fun creating a meal and it was a good thing i helped him otherwise if was just going to be pasta. After that I came home for like and Hour then went to Jessie's where I helped her pack up Alexis and I drove them to the airport. Then we parked and I stood in line with Jessie just to make sure she could keep an eye on Alexis and not be too frazzled with all the baggage. Then back to jessie's to drop her car off. Then I went back to my place to pick things up for Mike that he needed for his dinner and took them to Comstock. Then I came back, made dinner, got ready and tried to make plans for tonight. Then I talked to Kysa and now I am here. After this I will be going over to Grand Marc where we are either going to a house party or a party at 1301 we will see. Damn now it is hitting me how tired I am.

Plans for tomorrow : Sleep and homework and run.

Things are picking up here and i dont feel so bad about stuff. I realized that even though some close friends are away doesnt mean that I can't make more close ones who stayed back. There are more people than you know who care about you.

Well guys give me good vibes so the good things keep coming!

Love and miss you all!

I Know its not a Saturday

Hey everyone, I know it is not a saturday, but I thought I would write and let everyone know how much I miss you all.

I am sitting here at caribou because this is where I turn in my stats homework and it was due today at 1pm. I had a wonderful weekend with Jessie. She and I had a ball on saturday! I forgot how much fun it is hanging out with people who don't care if you don't shower and who know you so well that you just feel free and uninhibited. Interesting high school drama unfolded with other people, but she and I just laugh at how ironic life is. Why is it that people care when you don't even talk to anyone anymore. It is almost like Saint Paul has become a small town.

Well you guys who are abroad I miss being able to pick up the phone and hear your voices.

Cal- I miss arguing with you and having you know the answers to my stupid questions
Zeke- I miss you being like my older brother and telling me that I am "Fucking Crazy"
Hannah- I miss complaining that Winston is gay and talking about random things and you pulling the funniest comments out of the blue
Kelley- I miss our stupid talks about what is going to happen in the future and how pathetic we are you still crushed my confidence, I laugh everytime I think of you choking
Johanna- I miss talking about the packers and other sports and laughing at how the guys are acting
Joe- I miss you being Mr. Mom and cleaning everything and you making everyone laugh
Katrina- I miss how you laugh about anything super easily and how fun the times that you hung out with us were

Well guys, I am feeling better about life, but I just can't wait to get out of college I want to be in California so bad.

See you on saturday!

Another Week Down

Hey guys another week is down and I am so ready for spring weather and summer! Thats really depressing to say now, but whatever.

So starting with last saturday night- Holy crap what a good time with the boys! Mike and I enjoyed finishing off the peppermint stuff and other things and at one point we decided we want to make a chocolate cake. So we went to lunds and bought one, but word to the wise never go shopping with mike because he got so distracted by everything and ended up taking a swedish flag off some product and when we got back he duct taped it on himself. So we made the chocolate cake and suprisingly it turned out well, but I didn't have the patience to wait for the cake to cool before I put the forsting on and of course it was white frosting so little black chuncks got in it, but whatever. Then mike gets out a pizza cutter and cuts the cake with that. I was just happy that he actually cut it even though it was a 9 X 13 pan into nine peices. Then he takes his hand and pulls out a peice and tried to stuff the whole thing in his mouth at once so chocolate cake got spurted everywhere. Then he and I ran around my place attacking eachother with water and frosting. Paul and Olivia were watching us and I am sure they thought we were insane, but it was so much fun. Everyone left after we watched the rest of blades of glory, but mike stayed and helped me upstairs then he went and crashed on the couch while I got in my pjs and in bed, but at one point I wasn't feeling so well so I called his name from the top of the steps and he said the next morning he heard it but didn't want to get up, so I took a rolaid and went to bed.

Sunday- laundry day at my aunt's and I got to play with emily who i had a ball with.

Monday- I feel like it was a good afternoon! The morning I went to caribou to submit stats answers then went to class and it wasn't the greatest cuz I was still feeling exhausted from the rollercoaster of the weekend. That afternoon I came home and listened to sugarland and it made me feel better and I talked to kysa on the phone for a while and that lifted my spirits a bit and Sara made cookie dough!

Tuesday- Kinda the same as monday but i watched the Biggest Loser and hung out with Sara then I had to call people about half price apps for the next day and had some good converstations that made me laugh so I felt better and my spirits were high again.

Wed- SNOW! half price apps were so much fun. We had a great group it was Cal, Kysa, Myself, Amy, Kelli, Kyle, Tallis, and Sam. I love jsut sitting around a table with people and laughing and talking. It snowed quite a bit and I had an interesting time driving in it but it was still fun. When we all left I took Kysa and Sam home and said goodbye to Cal. Apparently, according to Cal that was the fourth time we had said goodbye. That night I came back and realized valetines day was the next day and I went to bed being like shit i don't want to deal with that. Oh and I am now obsessed with Taylor Swift's "Picture to Burn" it is a great pick me up song that is the story of my life!

Thursday- Coffee at starbucks before class and I chatted with Jason who works there. My group of girls from high school used to have a crush on him and he and I chatted and flirted and I laughed to myself because he must be so old cuz he worked there when we were sophomores in high school, but it was fun at the same time. Class was fine, but I woke up with a serious headache and felt like crap so the whole day i was exhausted. Then that afternoon Cedric and I were convinced that some barber shop singers went into a classroom to sing and then I saw some guy walking around with roses and I was like hmm maybe in a few years I will have a good valentines day. That night I came home and walked in on Sara and Mike about to kiss and I gave them shit it was so fun. They were making sugar cookies in heart shapes and homemade frosting so I had me some of that. Then I went upstairs and the Parent Trap was on Tv so I watched that and went to bed cuz I had to babysit and nine am the next morning.

Friday- Holy cow what a long day. I got up at EIGHT AM can you believe it I surely can't. I was in Edina by nine and babysat the girls until three thirty. It was so much fun we colored and played doctor and babies and grocery store. We watched part of high school musical and built a fort. For lunch we had tortilinis and talked. Then I came home and got noodles for dinner and went over to Jessie's. She had a rough week this week, so we watch superbad and her brother was over so he entertained us with some weird stories. Then around eleven Jessie and I feed Lexi a bottle and she was cranky and exhausted, so I told Jessie I would rock her back to sleep so that she could go crash on the bed. It was absolutly adorable. Lexi just conked out in my arms while I was watching letterman and Jessie seriously passed out in her bed. I did that for like an hour and a half then I put Lexi in her crib and turned the lights out and left. Got back home came up here and was exhausted by how many kids I hung out with that day. Then talked with my mom, they were still up cuz they were going out for valentines day that night.

Saturday (today)- Woke up made myself some homemade oatmeal and had my cup of tea. Watched some tv and now I am blogging while watching the weekly count down on GAC right now Carrie Underwood is singing "So Small". Today I think Jessie and I are going to go to lunch and Jimmy John's and visit our friend and I think she may come over here and nap while I go to my cousin's for dinner. Jessie is getting the day off because she just can't take it anymore. I couldn't imagine doing all of that on my own.

Sunday- DAYTONA 500 the best day of the YEAR I AM SO SO SO SO SO EXCITED! My guy has won two preraces this year so tomorrow should be a good day for him, but I have to babysit from 1:30 to like 5:30 so I am going to miss the ending! Maybe tonight I will figure out how to tape it oh that would be so great than I could rewatch it all week when I am bored.

Here are the realizations I have had this week. I want to get out of Minnesota asap. I hate being in this state because I drive around and think about things that happened here and there and I hate bringing up past memories and it is too damn cold here. I can't wait to get out of college and move out to California. I wish I was there already. I know where I want to live and what I would do in my free time and how I would meet people my age. People are so happy out there and nice. OH Carrie Underwood had the number two and number one spot this week. I love her "All American Girl". I also realized that I hate valentines day not just because I was alone, but because even when I have had a boyfriend it was shitty. I mean Juinor year Jimmy and I had a fight because Paul gave me flowers and he was the asshole who didn't get his girlfriend anything, but that weekend he took me out and gave me flowers. I wish I would have known back then that its not about the flowers it is just spending time with the person you care about. Then with David last year I know we went out before valentines day, so I can't even remember what happened on Valentines day but I cant assume that we got in a fight like we did almost every other freaking day. So, I guess I am on this cycle where everyother year I have a valentine which gives me hope that next year I will. Actually it doesn't matter me, It just hurt this past week because of everything last weekend. Oh well this next week is going to be busy with school work, so it should be a quick blog next week. Oh and I realized there are no nice guys in Minnesota or if there are they don't have balls to do anything about anything!!!!!!!!!

Have a splendid week!!!!

Soooo much can change in a matter of two days

What a morning I have had and not in a good way either! I am so sick of everything going on in my life right now. I jsut want to take off and leave and start over somewhere else.

But before all of that here is a highlight of the week.

Monday- Can't remember (who actually remembers their mondays) all I know is that I went to class and came home and watched deal or no deal.

Tuesday- WHAT A FUN DAY! All day I felt like I was on top of the world, just jazzed about life. Classes weren't that bad. Tami and I went and got cookies and a muffin from the carlson eating place and the cute Kris was there again. He totally recognized me and he is so cute. Then after class I took Tallis to rainbow cuz he had to do some maketing thing. The dinner at comstock and after that I went and Caucused! How cool that was! I was even voted to be the secretary of the precinct and a delegate to go to the next level in march! I was so jazzed I love feeling like I matter! That night I got home just in time to see who was voted off the biggest loser! Perfect timing if I do say so myself.

Wed- I had to go to the travel clinic to get shots for China. FOUR OF THEM! My arms were sore days later. Then I grabbed a coffee for myself and sat and had a relaxing breakfast. Then off to class. Came home chatted on Skype then was off again for half price apps. Joe came and suprised us all. So that was fun, I love being surrounded by people who you end up having a great time with. Good company always makes me feel so good when I leave.

Thursday- Seemed like a crazy day but it wasn't. Class and then I went over to Sarah's for our thursday night friends extravaganza. During that time I got a phone call, but I didn't pick up and they left a message and called again. So from that I knew something was in the message and it ended up being a really shocking message and I was like do I seriously have to deal with this and I made the executive decision that I was not going to.

Friday- I met up with Tallis and Amy to work on stats. It went so fast then we stayed and talked and Justin joined us and it was just great company and we had some good laughs and Justin embarrassed me pretty badly. After that I came home saw Sara for like five min before I was out the door again to go over to Jessie's. We ordered pizza and went and picked it up. Holy crap did we have a good time. We laughed the whole way there and in the parking lot and on the way back my cheeks hurt and my abs were so sore and I could barely drive for laughing so damn hard. We got back to her place and laughed even more as we both failed to eat the pizza and I choked. Me made some drinks and started to watch knocked up but we ended up getting distracted and ended up just talking about stuff. It was also so cute cuz Alexis was so hungry we fed her so many bottles. When I left it I had a big grin on my face because can life really be any better than when you spend it with the person who probably understands the most about your life.

Saturday- Well today I got up and had my tea and watched the end of serendipity. Things like that never happen in life, when is hollywood or people going to realize that life is not that way. Relationships just bring hurt to people and there is no way that someone would be like oh I have a soulmate so not existant. Okay done with my jaded side. Then I went on and checked facebook. Shit what a message in my inbox. I thought I was done dealing with this shit it was so hurtful that I just started crying and asking God why I had to put up with this. I know it is a test to see how I will do, but I just want God's protection for once so that maybe one time in my life I don't have to walk into hurt. Luckily Kelley was on and she brought my spirits back up. I have no idea where I would be if I didn't have friends to back me up. I did some work for my mom and have been trying to not let things get to me too much, but it is pretty hard when life gets down on you without warning but thats what the Rascal Flatts song Stand is for and it made me feel better. Tonight Mike, Matt, Paul and Olivia are coming over to have some fun!

Tomorrow- Laundry day! Finally I haven't done Laundry since the middle of January!

On a bitter side note: I don't understand why people want to be in relationships when all the other person does the whole time you are in them is hurt you. I just don't think that I want to every be in a relationship again or even let someone be that close to you that they can hurt you. I have been hurt by everyone who was ever super close to me or to people who have meant alot to me. I also don't believe that there can be soulmates and love. The only love that exists is from God. People will always have hidden motives not matter who you are. Basically I just am done with guys being more than friends i really can't deal with it.

Have a good week and I hope I will

Morning thing

So as I haven't said anything in like a week, I figure this is going to be my saturday morning thing to do while drinking my cup of tea.

This past week was crazy!

Monday....I don't think anything exciting happened, can't remember

Tuesday... once again can't remember

Wed...was a good day, on my way home I saw Kari outside of carlson and beep like eight hundred times and she called me after and we had a good laugh! Then she said she was having people over for dinner on thursday and that I should come. That night Ellen came over and Sara, Mike, Ellen and I had a ball hanging out and laughing our asses off. Sorry Kelley and Johanna that was probably really annoying to talk to. Oh and Sara made some cookie dough and for all of you abroad it was amazing!

Thursday- classes seemed to go by really fast and Sid offically hates Kari hahaha. All class he was giving her dirty looks then we broke into groups to discuss an article and when we got back to the big group Sid asked us what we talked about. Kari raised her hand right away, but Sid went all around the room calling on everyone else. Then he paused for a while, so Lauren raised her hand and mid raise Sid called on her. To make it even funnier, Kari was one person away from Lauren. We all about died when that happened. Oh and there are new people manning the counter in the Carlson food area and Lauren and I went to get a cookie before HR and a super cute boy was standing behind it, so we talked to him for a while while we ordered and then she and I made the decision that every thursday we are going to get food from there to see him and start more convos with him. Oh his name was Chris. Cedric and my management class had to me moved to another room because a light bulb went out. So in the new room I sat on the end and he sat next to this cute girl on the other side. Right when class ended he turned to her and started talk like we have IDSc together and hahaha stuff. So as to not ruin his thing going on I was like I'll see you later because I didn't want to interrupt him hitting on some girl. I walked out of the class laughing. Then dinner on thursday night was amazing! Eric made homemade Lasanga and we had garlic bread, salad, and mandrain oranges (don't really know where those fit in). It was a great group that was there, Sam, Kysa, Kari, Eric, Drew, Austin, Madeline, Amy, Alex, and myself. It was definatly successful and great company.

Friday- So I had to run to proex because on our sheet for what to bring to the study abroad meeting it said to bring a passport sized photo. I was like shit I don't have that, so I ran to proex and they did it. In the mean time I bought a frame for my painting that I got this summer and I was super excited to finally put it up on the wall. As I was putting the painting in it, I heard a crack but didn't think much of it, but when I turned it back over I freaking broke the glass! I was like of course this would happen to me, so I think tomorrow I am running back over there and getting another frame. Then It was off to the study abroad meeting. I picked up Kari from Coffman, dropped her off at her apartment and parked my car. We decided we would meet on the bridge between carlson on grand marc, but I got there before her and called and she was like "I CAN'T FIND MY PASSPORT!" I thought it was hilarious because how many times has she lost that thing. The meeting was super worthless for the first hour and Kari and I were even late. It was like things may have changed since you last flew blah blah blah. But then we broke up into small program based groups and met the teacher and heard about what the class is going to be like and what China is going to be like. She and I are so jazzed about going now, it kind of hit us that we were going. So after that I went home and right when I walked in the door Kysa called and she and I had a nice long chat, so that was fun and then Sara and I went to dinner. It was the first thing we have ever done together that was outside the apartment and not picking up our cars. So at dinner the waiter was all out of sorts cuz it was busy and he looked tired, so we joked around with him and I think it made him feel good. I love talking to waiters and kinda learning about them a little bit and I know of i were a waitress I would love when people would talk to me. We gave him a pretty decent tip I think. Sara put some change on top of the tip, so then I went in my wallet and took out all the change I had, which was like a dime, two nickels, and two pennies, so we laughed that I gave him pennies. Then she and I played scrabble and hung out the rest of the night.

Saturday- well today we are going to 27 dress (by we I mean Sara and I) at 1 and then I don't know what is going on tonight yet

Sunday- Tomorrow, I am picking up Mike and Brett and they are coming over for the superbowl. Sara is going to make hot wings because apparently her mom knows how and she is going to find out how which is awesome and I think we are going to do take and bake from Papa Murphy's as well, so that should be fun.

Other than that nothing exciting is going on. Have a good week!

So I Just Signed Up for a Half Marathon

So just about thirty seconds ago I signed up for the Lake Minnetonka Half Marathon on May 2nd, so whoever is back should join me or at least cheer me on! I can't believe I did that, but I guess it is the part of me that is trying to be more spontaneous this year.

Other than that things have been pretty tame here. The other night half price apps were super fun. We had a group of nine people, which is pretty huge if you think about what it was last year. Friday night I had to babysit and I made seventy dollars for five hours! But I wanted to go to the comedy thing at Coffman, but I didn't get done in time, but Jackie, Alex, Sam, and Cal went. Once they were done with that I met Sam and Cal back at their apartment and Cal and I played cards while Sam emailed Danielle. So far there is nothing going on tonight, so I guess I should get on that and plan something, but what is there to do....maybe I will go to exploreminnesota.com and see if there are any good ideas...maybe the winter carnival? I have no idea. All I know is that I am sick of being in my apartment and just want to get out and enjoy life.

Also, a side note, I have decided that there will be no more consumption of alcohol in my life. I just don't like how I feel and I work out hard during the week and I don't want it to go against that. AND I have way more fun having an energy drink and I feel just as buzzed, but there is no hangover or regretting things that I have done.

Another side note, I think I am going to shadow Mike to one of his IT classes to see what the IT guys are like because I am so bored with my life right now. Now don't get me wrong I love the friends and things that have been going on, but I also want something more to fill in my life. My life has never been about school and for me to have the thought that this semester in the times I am not with my friends I could study does not sound like something that I want. My mom laughed when I told her about going out and finding an IT guy, I am so sure she thinks I am crazy too, but I want a guy who I don't have to compete with for school, grades, and a job and an IT guy is also smarter than me, which I like that idea and they can build stuff! Anyways nothing like that will probably happen, but my life is boring with school and the typical stuff and I am just looking for ways to entertain myself.

I think that I have made the decision to go to Cali this summer. First of all because I can get a good paying internship out there, the weather is super nice, I can possibly do the San Fran Marathon's half marathon, and I can join the running club every wed night and if I run one hundred miles I get a free t-shirt. I feel like also as hard as I have been fighting it, my life is moving out there. I really don't want to work in MN as much as I love the snow, but northern California's economy is so much better and I can drive to my favorite place on Earth, Lake Tahoe. The more I sit here and type the more that becomes something I want to do....hmmmm. The people out there are super nice too and they aren't fake about getting to know you and people are more active, which is something I like. I also like being up in the hills and having amazing views and people being more relaxed. Sounds like that is my plan for the summer, I am moving out there! I like it... I have no reason for staying here, so why not.

Sweet, well now that I have a goal for May and a plan for summer I feel set! And i need to go work out! Hope everyone else is having a successful and fun time abroad!

First Few Days Back in the Rush

So, yesterday school started again and I could not believe how much I got done before noon. Now it doesn't beat what Kari did before then, but I still impressed myself. I was showered, on the road, had checked facebook and this blog, and had eaten breakfast. I can't believe I could do all that before noon!

Classes: I got to Carlson and it I was early, so I decided to grab a daily and sit somewhere. I looked around for people I recognized and saw no one which made me miss all you guys abroad. Marketing was the first class I had and I thought it was going to be awful because I didn't know anyone, but I ended up recognizing a girl I met this past weekend and it was super fun sitting by her and chatting. The prof didn't let us out early (who does that on the first day) then it was off to HR. Kari and I somehow missed the fact that Tanya, Kari, and I all have that class together along with Liz, Lauren, and a girl from my past IDSc class. Sid let us out early so Kari and I went back to her place where I chatted with Jackie before she left and eventually Kysa was there too so we all got to talk. Then it was mangement.....that is going to be the hell whole of the semester. Who the crap makes powerpoints and then doesn't put them online. Why would you do all that work and have everyone in the class not get anything out of it and we totally can't listen to the stuff coming out of his mouth. Sometimes old people make me wonder.

I my way home I talked to my dad and Mike while yelling at people who were going 25 in a 25 who the hell does that at least go thirty please. Ya know this is one thing I like about California, people drive with the flow of traffic not what the speed limits are. If people did this in Minnesota then there would be less traffic backups cause by people being the traffic police and less accidents.

Once I got home and figured Heath Ledger did die, I went to lifetime during the biggest loser. I was able to run a mile at 7 min and 2 sec consistantly for seven miles and during my cool down my heart rate dropped twenty points in two min. Sorry I know most of you don't care, but I am very proud of myself. Oh and for dinner I had a Kashi tv dinner holy crap those are made by god I swear! They are so good and good for you!

Today I have stats (boo), but that is it and Kysa, Kari and I are trying to get peps together for half pricers tonight, but it might just be the three of us, so that would be fun to catch up. Oh and the other night when hanging out at Marcy Park, Sam and Zeke yelled at Kari and I for talking girl talk. Get this we were only talking about jeans for like a min, so us girls have been dominated this semseter and have to find time else where to talk I guess lol. Today feels like a friday I absolutly hate that! Its only wed. Maybe its just this school thing and I want it to be the weekend. Well, this one wasn't as thought provoking as my past one, but I hope it gives everyone an idea of what is going on and I need to go workout before class. Have fun in your respective countries!

Getting Old

So over the last few days it has kind of hit me that we all are getting older and it has kind of freaked me out. I wish that everyone would just stand still because as everyone else is moving forward I feel as if I am being left behind.



It hit me that everyone has so much figured out in their lives and I barely know what the hell I am doing. Its like I am starting to feel like everyone's younger sister who doesn't have a clue what the heck is going on. I realized that I have no idea what I am going to do with my major and I have come to the conclusion that I doubt I will use my major in whatever job I have because I am totally not into the corporate scene. Everyone else is like this is what I am doing and this is where I am going to be and I am sitting here wondering what is going to happen in this year and trying to figure out where my life is going. I think it is kind of hitting my that I no longer have a plan in my head of what will be because I think I have realized that there is no way to plan, but without a plan I feel really vulnerable and out of control.



Yesterday and right now I am lounging in my robe from last year and have been on my computer or reading a book during the day and that makes me feel like a thirty-five year old who just is moving through life and not enjoying it. I just want to have fun and not have the feeling that I need to be stressed out because how fun is life if you have stress and are not having fun. This probably contributes to the fact that I don't have a plan, so I guess it is a crazy circle.



I feel like everyone close to me has everything all figured out some to the point of being married and having a baby and others just realizing that they are dating the one they are going to be with for a really long time. This freaks me out because there is no way in hell that I want to be in something so serious. There is no way that I could deal with all the bullshit that goes along with a serious relationship, I just want to have fun and be happy and not have someone bring me down. There is no way that I could be married or even think about marriage like that is one thing I can live without as long as I am not alone forever. This could mean living with a good friend who is also not married or just having a boyfriend forever. I wouldn't like someone being in my space twenty four seven they would have to travel a bit or live not with me but come over a bit. I sound like a mess but it is cool to get this all out.



Right now when I look into the future on how I see my life in like ten years and right now I just see myself doing my things and not having a guy at my side everyday because I really don't need that. I see myself buying a house and having a fun fufilling time living in my twenties. I really don't want to deal with the bullshit and heart ache that comes with being committed to the person, like don't get me wrong if i were dating someone I would be committed, but not like throwing them into my life, I need some me time too. As much as I enjoy having someone around to keep me busy am I really going to find the person who makes me want to settle down and is there really a person who would want to pack up and go winter camping or go for a hike or just randomly take off and do something that is semiathletic and outdoors. And when I am really close to someone I take on their problems which totally just adds stress to my life and I really don't want to worry about that. So clearly I am at the point in my life where I just don't want to deal with crap from other people.



WoW I sound bitter about relationships in general, but maybe that is because I am feeling totally betrayed by some of my closest allies. Maybe that is all a part of growing up and having the people around you leave you for the ones they love and if you don't have someone like that you feel left behind and lonely.



Oh well!
