Rainy Days

So yesterday was just a bad day. Last night I finally thought I was about to actually get a good nights sleep. I was sleeping great until the fire alarms went off at 5 in the morning. We were stuck out there for forever! Then I came back and fell asleep and my alarm never went off for theatre class so I slept through that accidentally. I went to take my stomach medicine and was out! Then I had to go to a workshop that was supposed to last like 30 minutes and lasted and hour and 15 minutes! So that was just a messed up morning so this morning me and my roommate decided that we were not going to let anything get to us. We woke up like an hour early and went downstairs and got us breakfast to go. I dragged my roommate out of bed and told her that no one would see her so don’t worry. She ended up running into her ex boyfriend We came back up here and had some breakfast in bed watching T.V.! Even though it is rainy outside, were not going to let anything effect our happy mood! Also Easter is almost here! I hope everyone else has a great week and weekend!

Floyd Skoot

I just got back from a River city writing, by Floyd Skoot! It was down on Main Street which at first I thought was going to be a struggle trying to get there and find parking but it turned out to be a very fun night! I rode with Christa, Emily and Jen and we parked for free right down the street! It was really neat listening to Mr. Skoot talk not only because he was Rebecca, the director of the River city writing program daughter, but also because I felt like I was apart of something famous! As if it was only for high tech writers and I was aloud in to listen! My favorite poem he read was the poem about his daughter Rebecca. It reminded me of the poem my dad wrote for my older sister, Ashley, when she got married. It was amazing to here all the struggles he has been through with his brain disease and yet still is able to write such great works. He explained now the hardest struggle he has to overcome everyday is just the extreme, extra work he has to do to convert short term memory to long term memory. Something our brains do every second without realizing it! I also loved the snacks they had! That was a definite plus!

podcasts

I just figured out a way to workout and study at the same time! I hate when I do not get to workout everyday but then again I also hate when I feel like I am behind in school work. And lately I have definitely been feeling both of those. I feel like I am never on top of my work. It is as if it just keeps on loading up. I need to get used to it before I start nursing school!! I have a humongous Anatomy test tomorrow and our teacher uploads pod casts online so that we can listen to his lectures from class. I figured out that I can listen to the lecture while I do abs! haha That way, I can study and work out at the same time and I am going to be learning more because when you workout your body releases endorphins and endorphins will increase brain wave stimulations! Also, when you workout, you do not get tired like you usually would from studying or listening to boring pod casts! Now I am actually excited about listening to these silly things! There is a girl in my Anatomy class who downloads the pod casts on her Ipod and listens to them while swimming. That would definitely be a fun experiment too!

Papers :(((

Ok say I do not really know what to do about all the papers that have been assigned to me in the last 2 weeks or so. I really did not think I was taking that many hard courses this semesters. I am about to enroll in nursing school and just thought that this semester would be a breeze compared to what was about to hit me. For some reason, that is not how it has turned out. All of a sudden I feel like I am running in an up hill battle. I finish one paper and I still have 3 more to complete. I think it is just because I am not only taking English but Theatre and Music, and as funny as it seems, we actually have to write just as many papers in those classes as English. I just need to take one step at a time and complete each one and then move on to the next one. I think I am going to be able to handle the English “Big Shabang” as long as it is just broken up in small amounts first! I just hope that we do not have to write a ton of papers for nursing school!

Spring Break 2

Normally vacations are determined by the places you go. In my case the beach was awesome and a definite addition to the greatness but what really made our vacation was the people we were with. If we were locked inside a dungeon for four days, we would still be laughing and having the times of our lives. We did so many stupid stuff like doing late night abb classes, stayed up all night to watch the sunrise, and watched three guys dance in a trash can.
What is the first thing that you associate spring break with? Alcohol right? Well the crazy thing about our trip was that not one of us, under age, and of age, never touched the bottle. That was what was amazing. Not saying that anything is wrong with alcohol, but to have this much fun without alcohol is when the real personalities are shown. That is the reason why all of us grew so close and most importantly stayed close. We bonded from the start and from our heart. As the saying goes “You are who you are when you are with you friends” had a big impact with me on my trip. If I could spend the every second with my new friends I would because I know that they make me a better person.

Spring Break 1

Is spring break supposed to be a time of relaxation or time of extreme fun? Is it extra time granted to catch up on all over due assignments or time to never think about school work at all? In my case, Spring Break was the best time I have ever had. It was not just because I had time off from school and was lucky enough to go to the beach. It was the people I spent my vacation with that mde it extraordinary! You would think that being packed into one house with 60 people could only create drama and fighting. In Gulf Shores on March 1-March 8 2008, 60 people grew so close together. Before the trip, I had only talked to about 10 people going on the trip. With that being said, obviously I was nervous, wondering if I was going to have fun. When I was on the way home all I could think about is how much I would give just for one more day in Gulf Shores. I am so glad that I chose to take part in such an adventure! Ahaha because that is definitely what it was. An amazing, hilarious, fun filled adventure!

Fun in the Sun

Imagine this… laying out on the beach, toes in the sand, fun people all around you, playing volleyball until 5 in the morning, swimming in the ocean, getting tan and having the best time of your life! Yes, now imagine sitting in class or doing homework. Which do you pick? Definitely, the spring break I just went on! I just got back from Spring Break and I can not stop thinking about it. It was so much fun, well TOO much fun and now I can not get in the mood to study at all! I love that we had a little break in between all of our school work but it was just kind of only tempting us for summer so now I just wish it was summer but then when you think about it, we have a long way until summer. Sometimes I wish summer was here really fast, but then I think about all the tons of assignments due before summer, and I hope it does not come TOO fast! I hope everyone did have a great spring break and just relaxed from all school work and anxiety, and stress! Now lets just look forward to SUMMER!!
