changing things around

i wanted to change me blog around because the black was annoying me. it was to dark and depressing me....also the title didn't seem to fit hope to liked the changes.
hey dad or anyone, how do you add pictures to the blog?

bye. nite.


new edit i figured out with help:)


I CAN PUT PICTURE ON MY BLOG!!!! WOO-HOO

slow pace...

well my dad wrote me again telling me to write something because it is the near the end of the month. dad sorry to tell you but nothing much to say.

apartment not closer to getting one maybe at the end of this week or early next week i will find out something

classes going fine but have to stayed ahead of social work because it has royality kicked me in the butt(but nothing to worry about as of right now)

haven't been excercise recently because of feminie(sp?) reason(if you don't know what i mean go ask your mothers) but i have been eating salads and trying to eat a varied food

spent the weekend at kim's in which i didn't get a lot of sleep because i was sleeping on a flip-a-chair(not comfortable...take my word for it)

shoppping for clothes was unsuccessful (which i have a whole bad attitude about...it is a kind of thing you don't want to get me started on...it is like my grandmother and walmart)

well that is it....that is all my updates i can think of...hope this last a little bit...until i get another email from my dad telling me to write because he can't just pick up a phone and call his daughter to say "hi" or "whats up" or "how you doing" or "whats going on in your life"? huh, to think about it....i think that would annoy me because he misses me everyday :) and he would call everyday. love ya dad....talk to whomever later...i really don't think anyone reads this except for my family(brothers, dad and mom, and kristy) bye y'all

what has happened?

So recently i haven't feeling like writing but the stress has increased as the days go by. my mom says relax but i don't know the meaning anymore. i am trying to find my way in the decision of a job i want to do. it is between speech pathologist and something with education like special or counseling education. i don't know yet but i am thinking i will know by the end of this quarter. i think i want to be a speech pathologistbecause i love some science and it kepts my attention a little more then other subject but i get confused a lot. also i think helping kids speak and adults speak will give me great pleasure. it also is changing people and situation which keep my short attention spand more focused. then there is special educaion which is something i know something about. with helping kids with there class work and giving the confidence to find something on there own but supporting them. it is always changing with need students with different problems. the only concern is writing down all information on each child that is overwhelming at times and i am a somewhat forgetful person. then there is counseling which i think i will like because i like listening to peoples problems and trying to fix the problem. i have always listen to my friends and there situations and i think that would be fun. i like to fix things i think it is because of my dad who is an engineer. well hopefully these classes will help and then making an appointment with greg oberlin my advisor.

then on to my apartment i am going to have next year i hope. right now it is a lot of responsiblities and that is freaken me out a little but if we (jamie, kim, and i) do it right we can make it. right now it is a relief just to have our name down on a list and we are the first one on the list. also right now this is what we are having our apartment..we might change to have a balcony but for right now we aren't, then it will be furished, three bedrooms, kitchen, dining area, and a bathroom(just one we could of had more but it costed more). it is just exciting to say that i am going to be in an apartment for next year. hopefully all will work itself out.

then on to classes they are fine but are tough to get threw. i am in social work which is ok but sometimes i am not motivated to go but i go because it is only three times a week and then a social work seminar on tuesday. also i am in HSLS which is communication and communication disorders which is cool but i will see at the end of the quarter. but the teacher has a mississippi accent so it brings me back home. i am also in EDSP which is education for exceptional child. the teacher drives me up the wall but i think it will be a class i learned a lot from. then me one and only easy class thar 235 which i just sew costumes all day. that is pretty much what i do.

then lately i have been exhausted to go and excercise but i was going to ping (our rec) twice a week and swimming twice a week. but recently homework has made me work into the night. hopefully i can get back onto the schedule.

then i have found a way to enjoy dining halls but sometime you just you could eat things eatable. i have been eating salad everyday with more food like a deli sandwich which and i also been drinking two glasses of water at every meal in the dining hall.

also jamie and i have tried to move out of our room because we have freshman across from us which are chatting loudly at night which has royaly pissed me off. and we are sick of sharing a small room and closet. unfortunately we can't move because we like lincoln hall and don't want to move our stuff to a different dorm. so we are going to stick it out for this quarter and maybe we the freshman fail out or transfer schools we can move to the second floor in the same building.

what is happening this weekend that i know of:
shopping for clothes that are desparately needed
sleeping maybe not in this dorm room but kim's
the other one because jamie bofriend is coming this weekend(she did not ask me but i am just willing to be out of the room
balancing check book
not spending money unless necessary(like D.P. dough which i have been craving)
organizing and cleaning
laundry(might do that before the weekend)
doing a book report
starting another book to write a book report
doing homework in SW seminar

there will be more before the week is done


well hope this will cover until monday or so
i have to go do homework and go to sleep before it is to late...sorry for bad spelling and grammar...didn't feel like reading it over again.

not feeling it

some how the virus has spread...my brother justin started it, then my other brother matthew, then me and now my dad again. it is a way to communicate but it take so much time to put your thoughts down. i am not a blog-a-holic but my dad is, no offense. but i am sitting here trying to write a 3 page paper. instead of focusing i am stressed about a whole lot of things. here is my list:

housing for next year
money
major
classes
homework
excercising
being involved in school
and more but i can't remember....

i am just panicked all the time...it is like anixety and tighting in chest. it is a nervous energy. i am trying but just looking at my schedule this year because it scares me everytime i look at it. my parents say there is no reason to stress but i think i have been this way since early in high school except for my senior year when i just wanted to get out of school to go on to bigger and better things. i was reading my brothers blog and how he said that he wrote so much but nothing seem much to share. that is how i feel...i can't handle stress and missing home right now is not good. but i am trying. i also recognize things about me i don't like and i don't know how to change them. ohh well i have to go and do something but i dont know when i am going to write agian but just check back at the end of the month.

classes ohh the love of classes

hi everyone well it is fun going to classes for the first time. i have just finished my second day of classes and today was fun because it was a mansoon(sp?) outside. classes are alright but i might be changing them around in the next few days. hopefully also i will get the guts to my computer so i will be able to write more often then i have been. it should arrive tomorrow. well i am heading to bed i have class at 10 tomorrow to see if i like jamie class better then the one i have. nite. bye y'all.

Where is the move-in people for the move-in crew?

i am exhausted two days ago i moved myself with help of steph, ben, and emily. we all walked up and down stairs bringing my stuff in. 4 flights of stairs. luckily they were very nice in helping me. then later steph and i went to my storage unit and got the rest of the stuff out. we walk up and down until we felt like we were going to pass out. but as we sort-of loaded the room in we were finding bugs not just any kind of bugs but a black widow spider, roach, lady bug and a bigger black spider we believe to be the male of the black widow. so i kept cleaning while steph was on the computer and i sat down next to my book case and saw spiders and had to clean them out because steph has fear of spiders. by the end of the night steph and i were totally grossed out and debating if we should stay the night or not. we did. i hope i don't have anything else in my room.
on another note i only have one closet for jamie and i and that is going to be difficult to share but i talk to someone and maybe we could work out to put in draws and raise the beds higher to store underneath. hopefully it will work everything will work out. as soon as of possible i have to clean up the rest of my stuff so jamie can get all her stuff in today or tomorrow sometime.
also i have a job up here which allowed me to move in a day early and get a small paycheck. i worked yesterday from 12 to 5 and today i am working from 12 to 4 it was 1 to 5 but i am going to try and help kim move in. i am sore in my lower back my shoulders, calves, top of my thighs, biceps, hip muscles, and the muscles leading up to my neck. hopefully i will be stretched out before i start working. i thought i brought a lot my first year but no. a couple of girls brought truck load that filled the bed of the truck. some of the girls who brought a car trunk and one side of the back seat were freaking about that they brought to much stuff, also saying i don't think this will fit. i was like you can fit this in there fine. also i seem to pick out the people who are living on the third and fourth floors. ohhh the hell of that kills me to do that many stairs with a heavy box. by the end of the day i am red faced and sweaty and tired.

well i have to go and clean and then go help more people move into dorms and then help my friend kim and then take a shower and chill until i pass out from exhaustion. bye
