CRAZY!

I just got back from my first visit to New Orleans for this summer. I spent two weeks (June 7-June 19) there. I came back on the 20th. It was a fun trip. I got to help my grandma go through some of her stuff and purge a little out of her tiny house. I never realized she had so much stuff! We went through extremely old pictures of my mom and her brothers when they were young as well as some of my grandma when she was young and fiery and smoking hot!!!! :) It must run in the family. Only kidding! But it was so hot that it made you just want to be lazy! She doesn't have central air, just window cooling units. Not fun! Oh well. It was fun and I got to eat a lot of amazing food. Not fun was helping my uncle pack up his house because he's irresponsible and got it repossessed. Ugh! Talk about stressful. Anyway I got to come home to my mommy and boyfriend who picked me up at the airport. I have quite the handsome boyfriend now too! He's pretty damn amazing. Name is Britt and he likes way too many of the same things I do. :) It's awesome! I'm just happy to have my own bed back too! I'm home for two weeks then I get to go back down for a week to finish up some stuff with my grandma. I'm excited! Because then she comes home with me and we go on vacation together! YAY! Anyway things are good. This next semester is looming though. It's going to be tough!

Spring Flu??

It's beginning to warm up. Up and down goes the thermometer. I've been sick off and on (mostly on) since October. It started with mono. If you've never had it I would never wish it on ANYONE! It made me so tired and exhausted! Since it pretty much destroys your immune system I've been catching sinus infections and other bronchial infections and things like that. Not fun. I've always had sinus issues, but honestly, this is getting a tad ridiculous! My boyfriend just got back from Saudi last Tuesday. His 21st birthday was Saturday and I was feeling fine. Well I was exhausted because the symptoms from mono come back whenever I get sick now. We had fun, but Sunday night I thought I was dying! Not a good time. Now I'm in bed again, waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel. I can't wait. I'm handing in my two-weeks notice this weekend at work. Work hasn't kept me from getting well, but I can only cut out so much of my other activities which pretty much revolve around school and dancing. I would cut out work first above those. SO we will see how that goes. I hope ya'll aren't carrying around a bug like I am!

So this weekend was crazy! I won't go into details, but I have a cut on my cheekbone and am not very happy about it.

I love my friends.
The girl who used to be my best friend accused me of ditching her for my "new best friends" because they conveniently had the same schedules as me because they were dancers and I took the easy way out to friendship because I'm lazy.
Okay.
I hate ignorant people.
Not even worth arguing with.


Anyway my boy is still gone and I miss him like crazy. No communication. Still. This sucks.

Eddie really leaves for Saudi tomorrow.

WOW!

He's only gone for a month. It will be a true test of everything. We've only been dating for about two and a half months, but this is so new. He's never left a girl overseas and I've never been left by a boy who went overseas. I don't know exactly when I will get to talk to him, if anything more than an email if he gets a chance. I'm faithful, he's faithful. I just already can't wait for him to get home! And he's still in Kansas!!!

School on the other hand, I could do without.
Chemistry:: is Chemistry. I'm not really interested in it, but it's required.
Calculus:: well I got 14 out of 15 on my first test, which is a nice change from the first time I attempted the class my first semester in college where every test brought a D or below. I'm pretty excited and very proud of myself. But now I know what I need to do to get the job done.
Literature:: sucks. Not interested in poetry that has "deeper meaning." If I can't read in between the lines and realize that a sitting duck is actually describing a school bus.... well I'm sorry that is not my fault.
Ballet:: has been tough work. We start pointe work Thursday. PRAY FOR ME AND MY FEET!!!
Modern:: is interesting. I feel like I'm missing something because I really can't tell a lot of difference between Modern and Jazz. They're different, but the same. They all entail the same sort of work ethic, practice outside of class, stretching, strengthening, that sort of stuff. I love it, but I don't get it.

Work
Well I work only on the weekends because if I worked during the week I would definitely be more tired and exhausted than I already am. That seems like it couldn't happen, but I don't underestimate my body any more. It tries to keep up with my demands, but every now and then it seems to yell, "JUST STOP DROP AND SLEEP WOULD YOU????!!!!" Yeah, my body gets angry sometimes.

My family and I have been getting closer. Surprisingly facebook is now something my mother and I have in common. As I get older, it seems even daily, I appreciate my parents more and more. I realize they won't be here forever and they have given everything to make my life easier. They've put me through good schools, dance classes, bought me almost everything I ever asked for (not everything, but a lot of things), they paid for my car and fill it up for me since I don't work very much. They take care of me when I'm sick, cook for me when I'm home, let me hang out with my friends pretty much whenever I want to and support my rabbit and I without making us pay rent. They're the best parents I could have asked for. Actually.... I couldn't have even wished for parents this great.

There is a lot on my mind lately about relationships, school, work, I've been sick a lot lately, dance, my room is a mess, etc.... but life is good.

Army Girlfriend

My boyfriend is leaving for Saudi Arabia on February 17th. He's only going for a month, but that isn't what bugs me. It's that he will be across the oceans, half way around the globe. WEIRD!!! There is a lot of space between here and there.

Other than that I had my first calculus test Monday. I think I did well. *cross your fingers!* I didn't freak when it was handed out so that's a good sign.... generally speaking.


Busy busy busy! The weather is warming up every other day or so like it wants to stay warm. We'll see!!!!

Spring 2009

School started Tuesday. I'm enrolled in Calculus, Exploring Literature, Chemistry, Dance Kinesiology, Ballet 2 and Modern dance. WOW! Math has always been difficult for me so this should be a tough semester. It's starting out easy, but it's only the third day. We'll see!!!

As far as the boyfriend.. he's AMAZING! Although he leaves in less than a month to go to Saudi Arabia for a month. He gets back right before his 21st birthday. After that, possibly in April, he may be leaving to go to Egypt for a year. AHHHH!!! I've always heard about the military "significant other," but it's never hit this close to home. I've never been in that position directly. It's a little bit scary.

Other than that, not much is going on. I'm finding out some things about people I called my friends, but that doesn't stop the older you get. My best friend Kayla was supposed to get married this year, but her fiance dumped her. We hadn't talked for a while and we aren't really talking now. It's kind of sad actually. But I have some great friends in the dance department who I love!!!!!

That's about it!
Have a great day!
(Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!)
