Boogie Babblings

Okay so I was thinking about shutting this down because I felt like I didn’t have much to write about but I have changed my mind.  I have had plenty to write about in the past 2 weeks.  I think it is because I have temporarily reclaimed my life until Wednesday anyways.  I don’t even know where to start.

I now have a new roommate.  It is awesome.  She is a great friend and I have lived with her before.  She is the best roommate I have had and I am happy to be living with her again.  Things are going great so far…as expected.

I finished up summer school with A’s yay!   Summer school wasn’t bad at all.  I really hope when we go back Wednesday that it is not going to be as bad as this past spring semester!  I am not ready to go back.  I am excited about starting my research though.

Our trip to the mountains was awesome!  Our first stop was to see Bonnie graduate.  I am so excited for her that she is done with grad school!  Congrats again Bonnie!  It was had to say goodbye since they have already moved to Indiana.  I couldn’t say anything to them right before we left them because I didn’t want to cry.  I know that we won’t be able to make the trip to see them for at least a couple of years.  I have to finish school and we are getting married so we won’t be able to travel that far for a while.  I wish you guys the best but I am going to miss seeing yall as often as we are usually able to see you.  Then we went to visit Matt’s family which was a whole lot of fun.  They took me all these places and we had some wedding talk and stuff.  I am really excited about becoming part of the family.  I enjoyed playing with Shelby.  It is such a different experience having someone call me aunt.  She is such a sweetie.  I could not have had a better time.

Then I became miss destruction and tore up nearly everything valuable that I own on accident at different point of times over the week.  So thus my car is now fixed!  Thanks for all the prayers!  I also am the proud owner of a new laptop.  I am both happy and sad about having a new laptop.  It worked out and its nice but I had hoped to use the same laptop until I finished school.

In other news…..I did some wedding dress shopping last week!  It was sooooo much fun.  I am going again tomorrow.  I can’t wait!

Okay sorry this is so long.  There may be more to come soon.

I went with Matt and a few of his friends to the lake.  It was a whole lot of fun.  We rode on a boat, went swimming, tubing, and rode 4 wheelers.  It was a whole lot of fun.  I put on a lot of sunblock and still got a little burnt on my thighs during the boat ride.  I hope we can go back to the lake really soon.  It is so nice to have a break during the summer.  I wish I could post a picture from our trip…….unfortunately we are the worst about taking pictures.  Once again we brought the camera and did not take the 1st picture….I let this happen WAY too much.

School is going well.  I am starting to think about internship sites and where I would like to be placed…settings…and such.  Hopefully I will end up in the right place when the time comes.  I am currently in the process of changing roommates!  I think my old roommate will have all of her junk out by Friday the 11th!  Then my new roommate can start moving in!  It is going to be so much fun living with Nicole again!

Just to let everyone know this could quite possibly be the last post on this blog.  I have been thinking about shutting it down for a while now.  I don’t think anyone really reads it.  I think Matt is the only person who reads it and I can just tell him this stuff in a conversation.  No final decision has been made…..but don’t be surpised if I decide to shut this thing down.

I forever hate Tootsie roll pops and tootsie rolls…..NEVER ever offer me one.  I might just throw it at your face!

I am not talking about what happened.

Wanna know what I did in my 2 classes today?

Class 1:

had a nice discussion about how guys take their shirt off differently than girls

learned about eating: sweetarts, smarties, twizzlers, gum, tootsie rolls, popcorn, pretzels, and fire balls

Class 2:

We talked about american idol judging styles

We talked about a guy picking his nose every 30 minutes

We held our arm striaght up in the air for at least 20 minutes.

I did learn something in the first class…..i cant say the same for the second.

I had a great birthday!  I spent the day with Matt and my family.  I did no school work!  It was wonderful!  I went out to eat Wednesday night with half of my class to celebrate.  It was lots of fun.  I am glad they came.

Summer school is halfway over this week or next week I can’t remember which.  Thus far it hasn’t been bad.  It has been a nice change of pace from my hectic spring semester.  The next couple of weeks could be rough due to the amount of assignments coming due.  I do have a little extra time off around the 4th of July which will also be nice.  I know that I have struggled at times this past year being away from Matt and my family which has made the hard stuff even more difficult but I am very thankful for it.  I am lucky to have the opportunity to be able to follow my career dreams.  One day not only will I have a great job but I will be improving peoples quality of life!  There are a lot of people that apply to this program and get turned down so I am very lucky (even though a lot of hard work was done to get into the program).  Some of the people that I knew from undergrad applied this year and most of them got wait listed.  There is still a small chance for them though so we will see.  Throughout this past year I have felt kind of lost and not really connecting the dots on some of the stuff I have learned.  I am finally starting to do that and feeling like a better more competent student.  One of our teachers made the statement that students change somewhere during the summer and when they come back for that second year they are just different.  I can feel that change starting to happen and its exciting!  I feel like a good foundation has been laid (probably better than I realize) and now comes the fun part.  I have a class learning assessments and that is neat.  I am excited about working on the research next year that I am interested in so it should be good.

I have been wanting to make this blog post for a couple of days……but tonight I am tired so its time to quit.

I can’t believe it is already June and almost my birthday!!!  This year has gone by fast and slow at the same time.  Kinda weird and hard to describe.  When I think about all the  stuff I have learned in the past year it seems unreal.  It just crazy!  I hope the next year goes by just as fast so that I can move back home again.  I remember a time when I was so excited to leave and go to college and now the only place I want to be is home.  I guess its true……theres no place like home!  In just a month and a half I will be changing roommates.  I am excited about this change.  Nicole was a great roommate my freshman year……definitely the best roommate I have ever had!  I know that since then we have both grown up a lot and both have become a lot more serious about school (not that we weren’t serious about it before…..we are just at a different level now).  I think its going to be a good change though.  I also think its funny that my first roommate will also be my last.  After I finish up that year up I will live with my dad for a little while………until I get married and get to live with Matt (that makes me happy and excited….I can’t wait).  Right now I am enjoying this whole summer school thing….being here only 3 days a week is not too bad.  I don’t miss home as much and my classes are not as bad.  I don’t think its that they are any less easier there is just only 3 classes instead of 6.  It is a good thing last semester ended when it did because whew…..I survived it….but only just barely!  I think a week or two more and I would have been toast. haha I thought in the fall I was only going to have class Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  I wasn’t quite that lucky though.  They changed our schedule so I have Friday morning lab.  It’s probably a good thing so I can do my research on Thursday.   Okay so here is something sad I discovered last week.  I hold my pencil incorrectly.  Odd thing….I know.  Someone didn’t teach me correctly!!  On a better note…I do hold my scissors correctly!  I guess I picked up on that after I got into trouble (with a note home from the teacher!  like the only one ever!) in kindergarten for not using my scissors properly.  I can’t believe how many different kinds of scissors there are.  Okay I think I have gotten off on a tangent that nobody cares to read. haha Well this blog update has been long overdue.  I will try to be better about it since I have more time this summer.  Don’t expect one tomorrow.  I will be doing a couple of projects…….and hopefully going to the pool!

Well I had a great break.  I wish it had been longer!  I start summer school tomorrow.  I hope that this summer isn’t quite as busy with school.  Okay at the time it seemed like I had something to blog about………now I have nothing to say.  I hope everyone is enjoying the pretty weather we are having!  I like warm weather so much better than cold weather!

So here comes finals week!  I have 6 but its really more like 8.  Because 2 of them are 2 part a demonstration with a lab partner to the teacher and a written part as 1 exam.  Everyone please keep me in your prayers!  As always I am worried about finals.  I am not in as good a position with my grades as usual.  They aren’t bad but I just don’t have the cushion that I am used to having during finals.  I am really dreading this with every fiber of my being.  I don’t know if I really have what its going to take to successfully survive the next week of my life.  Here is my exam schedule so you guys can be praying for me.  I am the most worried about the ones next week.

Thrusday : 9-11:30 Group Class Final

1:50 Group Lab pratical and then written test

Friday: 9-11:30 Research Final

Monday: 8-10:30 Pediatric Health Conditions Class Final

12:30- 2:30 Pediatric Health Conditions Lab Written Final

3:30 Pediatric Health Conditions Lab Practical Final

Tuesday: 9-11:30 Health Conditions 2 Final

So it will be a busy busy week….one that I will be glad when its over and never have to relive again!  I hope all you guys are doing well.  Forgive me if you don’t hear from me because I am buried under a stack of books for the next week!

Today makes that many days that my grandparents have been married!  Today is their 60th wedding anniversary.  I can only hope that first of all that I live long enough to be  married that long.  The second is that I can be as healthy and happy as they are!  We went out to eat tonight at their favorite (the only restaurant they will eat at) K&W to celebrate.  It was a lot of fun.  Then we came back to Matt’s and we actually got my granddaddy to play the WII.  It was funny!  He kept saying what in the world are they going to come up with next?  I love my grandparents so much.  Today was truly an accomplishment.  I’m glad I was able to make it home to celebrate with them.  We talked a little at supper about the night they got married.  The man that married them had gone to bed and he was in his pajamas….pajama hat and all!  haha I wish they had a picture.  Not too many people have a story like that.  My grandma said they guy knew they were coming because you had to send in a card letting them know what day you were coming a few days earlier.  What a story huh?

So as most of you know this time of year I begin to stress over who will be my next roommate.  This is the last time I have to worry about finding a roommate!!  Today I signed a lease with Nicole.  It is funny that my first roommate will also be my last.  She was my freshman roommate in the dorms and I am very excited about living together again.  She is by far the best roommate I have ever had.  I am so glad things worked out!  I would give you an update on school……but if nice things are to be said then you will have to wait.
