UPDATE!

So its been how long? haha I don't really know why I decided to write on this, and yet here I am!
So classes are underway and things aren't too bad. I hate Tuesdays and Thursdays because I am on campus all freakin day and my bag is extremely heavy from just one binder. But those days also mean the possibility of Jonathan coming down to see me! Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are wonderful cause I'm on campus from either 9:30-11:30 or 9:30-12:30. So I just come back home and go back to bed. haha

I went back to work at Hastings this week. Surprisingly I don't have to work any closing shifts. Woo! I like working at Hastings, but it seems like no one likes to talk to me. And the one girl that I talked a lot with last semester transferred to Kansas. So that's kinda depressing. But I guess I can't expect to fit in everywhere.

Living in the apartment is nice. I'm living at Campus Park which is the complex that is behind Applebee's and Hobby Lobby. Its also where Hall of Fame ends on the east side. I'm living with Bethany Doerksen, Elizabeth Connelly, and Dawn Kruckeburg. We've tried to decorate with posters and such and are trying to go with a black and white theme since our kitchen tile is black and white. Right now it doesn't look much like it, but we've been meaning to dye our couch slip covers black, and so hopefully whenever we get that done, it'll really start to tie in.

Things with Jonathan and I are going really well! He got a new(er) truck and its amazing! Its a '99 Dodge Ram and I love it. I'm really glad that he has something better and more reliable to drive around in. I'm going home tomorrow to hang out with him. I would stay the whole weekend but I have to work on Saturday. Maybe I'll go back home after work on Saturday depending on when I work next.

Well that's pretty much all I can think of for now. See you in the next I don't know how many months! Oh yeah! I turn 21 in exactly 30 days!!!! YAY!!

Today Has Been One Crazy Day

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 02:50:31 GMT

Went to my 9:00 class this morning thinking that I would have a really hard time staying awake in there, and yet I was wide awake the whole time. So that was cool.
Got all ready for my job interview at Hastings and when I got to my car to leave, I found out that the battery was completely dead AGAIN! My interview was at 2 and at this point its 1:45. So I ran back into my room and asked Eric if I could borrow his car. Luckily he was there, cause no one else was. Driving his car was so weird. First of all, most of his key is broken off in the ignition, so I had to figure that out; his turn signal doesn't work, and he doesn't have a sit belt. Not to mention that it was snowing and traffic was crazy. I got there a couple of minutes late, but it was no big deal. And I got the job! Woo! A whole month and a half of trying to get an interview finally paid off! After I left there I went and took my urine test. Not worried about that of course.

Got back to the room and pretty much had to turn around and go look at an apartment complex with Bethany, Elizabeth, and Dawn. We went to Campus Park and I am totally in love with it! I walked out of there feeling really excited about it and wanting to sign a lease right away. But I think everyone else wants to keep looking, especially for a house.

After that, Bethany and I jumped my car and took it to walmart. Its funny that 2 weeks ago, the mechanics at walmart in Ponca said there was nothing wrong with the battery, only that I had a loose cable. And then the guy that checked it here said it was completely bad and that I needed a new one. So we got that replaced. What's up with my battery only lasting for 1 year? Oh well. At least we got it figured out and hopefully I won't have to worry about it for awhile.

My ethics class is cancelled tomorrow! YAY! I get to sleep in an extra hour and get a longer break before my last class. This is so cool. haha

So yeah, today has been way crazy, but at least everything turned out great!

I haven't written on this thing for almost a month. Not sure why. I look at it probably everyday and tell myself that I should make an entry, and yet I never would. And of course now that I am writing, I don't really have much to say. Hmm maybe I should make it a goal to write everyday like I used to. Maybe it would make my life seem more interesting. haha

Chase is coming to town tomorrow. Hopefully we will get some good raquetball playing time in. I also need to go to spin class tomorrow. I am sooo sick of it being cold. When is Spring finally going to come? I'm ready to walk to class without having to bundle up and I want to start wearing flip flops again. It sucks when some of your outfits only look good with flip flops because your other shoes just don't look as good.

Classes are going good. Pretty easy so far. Except I really don't care for biomedical ethics. Shouldn't have taken that as a humanities. Oh well.

This is probably the first year in which I'm not looking forward to Valentine's Day. Seems like I usually had a special someone to spend it with. And now I don't. Why do I have to hate being single? Most people would just embrace it and as you could say "live it up". But for me, it just makes me sad and lonely. I guess I just love the thought of someone loving me and me loving someone too much. Wow that was a lot of the word "love" in that sentence. Its especially hard when all of your friends have a boyfriend/girlfriend and there are some weekends when you are the only one in this place that doesn't have someone to share a bed with.

Gahhhh ok I've gotta stop talking about it so I don't start to cry.

Lent is coming up. Crap. Have absolutely no clue what to do for it. Any ideas? In the past I've refrained from afternoon snacks, pop, any sort of drink besides milk and water, and chocolate. Chocolate was the hardest. Don't really want to do that one again. haha Maybe I should do something like make sure to have at least 1 serving of fruit everyday. I don't know. But I guess if you've got any ideas, let me know.

Last night's basketball was just absolutely amazing! I'm so glad that I was there! Granted I was freaking out during all those overtimes. I still can't believe that Eaton played that well! haha I almost wanted to cry when he made that semi mid-court shot. But anyway, the game was great and I'm glad that I was there with some of my friends. After the game we went and ate at IHOP and guess who was there? Martel Van Zant. That was pretty cool to see. After we ate we went to walmart real quick so that Chase could buy a raquetball racket for his class today. Then we came back and I played some Mario Kart with Chase and Hager. I was beating Chase quite a few times and was so excited. Then we made a bet and I lost of course. So now at some point I will join the sorority/fraternity of being pied in the face. Yeah.... In fact, I found out that they were going to get me last night but the game lasted too long. Grrr!!! So now I have to start watching my back whenever Chase is around.

Classes are going well I guess. Assignments are soon to be underway. I've got 2 assingments due next week. Blah! But other than that, things are going pretty well. It sucks having to wake up before 9 every morning, but naps are always good. How is everyone doing with the crappy weather? I've slipped a couple of times, but luckily haven't fallen. I hope to keep it that way.

So I haven't updated in awhile. And I don't really know why I'm updating now but I guess I'm just bored. The break is almost at an end. Which is kinda sad in many ways. I've been getting up to work out every morning. and now I need to make sure that I continue to work out. I've been eating some good home cooked meals. Hanging out with friends. And other stuff.

Jonathan and I broke up right before Christmas and I think its for good this time. Yes it sucks and yes I'm sad, but at the same time I'm not depressed like usual. I think it may be because this time it happened in person and so there was just more closure to it; rather than it being on the phone where it seemed like he would never answer my questions and I always ended up confused and frusterated. But like I said, I'm still not happy about it but I'm doing the best I can. We're still great friends and we're still talking. But he's not at the point where he wants to hang out with me yet. Which again sucks because I just want things to be back to normal, but I have to accept it and just wait.

I finally figured out what kind of tattoo I want to get. And its something that actually had meaning for me. Which is good because before I was just wanting something that looked cute, and I'd much rather get something with a personal meaning. So now I just need to wait awhile until I feel like it is the right time to get it, and I need to make sure that I have money.

The new semsester is about to start. I start my day at 9 and 9:30 every other day which sucks! But I have about a 3 hour break in between my morning and afternoon classes so I can take a nap. Thursdays I only have my one morning class. I finally figured basically what I want to do with my life. I want to be a marriage and family counselor/therapist. So I need to talk to my old lifespan teacher because she is a marriage and family therapist and so I need to talk to her to see what sort of path I need to take.

Well I think thats about it for this post because I can't really think of anything else to say. So until next time...I hope you all enjoy the last few days of the break and that your semester starts out well.

So its 4:00 on Christmas day and I'm already bored. All of the family left a couple of hours ago. Got some good stuff for Christmas though. The one thing that I wasn't expecting to get was a down comforter with a duvet cover, another down pillow, and pillow shams. That was a nice suprise. I got the same straightener that Bethany has, so now I don't have to use hers everyday and I won't be sad when she is gone and she took it with her. I got 2 necklaces that I absolutely love. And I got some other good stuff as well. I even got some moolah! My parents gave me $200 but I turned around and gave them $140 of it back because I still owe them for the tv that I bought. But overall it was pretty good.

Jonathan and I had our gift exchange the other night. He got me the exact same Carhart coat that he has. It was really funny. So now we have matching coats and I've been wanting a new coat. So it was really exciting.

I kinda hate how Christmas is supposed to be such a family oriented day. Like at about this time in the day there isn't anything to do. No toys to play with, no family around. And yet its like a hidden rule that you can't hang out with friends. I want so bad to be hanging out with someone right now. But I'll just have to wait.

Hope everyone else is having a really good Christmas!

The break has started and not a lot has really been going on. I hung out with Jonathan all weekend, went to Tonkawa one night and just sat around my house the next. Last night I had everyone over and we watched the OSU game. It really sucks that we lost. I wonder what would've happened had Obi not broke his ankle. After that we just played cards and sat around and whatnot. Yesterday morning I woke up at 9:45 to go work out. And I didn't get to take a nap at all yesterday so I was extremely tired. I went and worked out again this morning. Its weird, I get really sore while I'm working out, but later on in the day and the next day, I'm fine. My dad says thats a good thing. I feel like maybe I'm not working out hard enough. Who knows. I'll try harder tomorrow and see what happens. I got all my Christmas wrapping done today. Didn't take too long. I still have to get a present for my grandpa though. Jonathan came over for a bit tonight. But he had a band practice or something or other with Kyle and Eric in Tonkawa at 9, so he left around then.

Its raining now. I hope it doesn't turn into ice since its been cold the past 2 days.

I can't get to sleep!

Fri, 15 Dec 2006 09:00:55 GMT

So its almost 4 in the morning and I can't sleep. I hate this. I've been tired all evening, since like 6. I get into bed at 1:30 thinking this is great cause I don't normally go to bed until 2:30. And what happens? I lay there for an hour, wide awake. Jonathan called me and I talked to him for about 5 minutes. Then I still couldn't fall asleep. I remember from my psychology class that if you can't sleep, then you need to get up and do something to make you tired. So I started doing my word finds and that didn't do anything. So now I'm on here. I don't understand how I can be wide awake right now. It especially sucks since I have a 10:00 final tomorrow. Well, at least its not at 8:00 I guess.

So I've been getting my final grades in. With some grades I am very happy with.
Nutrition: got a 73% on the final, so I have a B in the class
Math: made a stinking 58% on the final, so I've got a C in the class, which I'm not too happy about. FYI- DON'T TAKE ONLINE COURSES! THEY SUCK!
Chemistry: I needed to make a 30% on the final to keep my C, I was really worried that I didn't even make that, but thankfully I pulled off a 48%. What's funny is that the class average was 45%. So I guess I'm a little above average! haha
Government: Wow! A 102%!! I don't know how I did that. I mean I came out of the final feeling really good, but I never expected this!! This score brings my grade up to a 90%. I now have an A in something this semster!
Lifespan: no clue yet, that's the final I have tomorrow. I'll most likely keep my B. And there really isn't any way that I can bring it up to an A. Oh well.

After my final tomorrow, I am going to lunch with my parents, an old friend of mine from preschool, Logan, and his parents. I think its going to be a bit weird. Our families were really good friends when Logan and I were really young. And then all of a sudden we never saw each other again. I've seen him at a couple of parties, but we've only really made small talk. So I'm not sure how this will go, but we'll see.
After lunch I get to start packing. I'm really not sure how many outfits I should pack. I've never had to pack for Christmas vacation. Last year I packed everything because I wasn't going back to OU. I should be back in Ponca around 6. I am bringing Elizabeth home and she probably won't get done with her last final until about 4. So I'll have to wait for her to pack and then we can go!

I get to see Jonathan tomorrow! Yay! I guess we're going to watch a movie. Then I think I'm helping my mom cook all of our Chirstmas goodies this weekend. This should be interesting.
