Church Ski Trip

Oh man, what a long weekend!! :/

On Friday I had to run to Ivy Tech to figure out my class schedule.  Of course I had to drop the two classes that got cancelled, but I picked them back up as online classes.  Which leaves me with 3 online classes and 1 classroom class for the semester.  Hopefully I'll do well in them, I'm a little nervous about the online classes.  After I did that I went to church to meet the youth group for the ski trip.  We left around 4:30 and got to our cabins in Michigan around 9:30.  Some of us stayed up until 1:30 playing games and talking.

The next morning we woke up around 7:30 to eat breakfast and to get ready for a day of skiing.  We got to the slopes at 10 and stayed until 8:30.  Everyone had a BLAST!!  I have been skiing a couple of times prior to this trip, but it's been at least 3 years.  I fell a few times at the beginning but then I got my mojo back and didn't fall for the rest of the day.  Only 3 of the kids weren't interested in night skiing and wanted to go back to the cabins, so I had to stay too.  Man, it stinks being a chaperone. :(  No, night skiing was fun, so I didn't mind.  After we got back to our cabins, that's when I started feeling the pain.  It started as pain in my calves, but that's obvious because the boots hold your legs in an awkward position.  When I was sitting on my bed I noticed pain in my shoulders, neck, arms, well basically in the rest of my body.  So, I took a nice hot shower and then promptly went to bed.

We woke up the next morning at 7:30 and everyone was in pain.  Kady and I packed our bags and finally managed to drag our feet to breakfast.  It was alright, nothing special.  After breakfast we had a short church service where we sang. :) Hooray singing!!  We all packed up the cars and headed home.  We got home around 3:45.  I was so exhausted and sore that I slept from 4 until 8 this morning.

Today Frankie and I went to Lafayette to sell back my books and he got his I.D.  And now I am just trying to get stuff for school.  My first class is tonight at 5:30 and hopefully it won't be that boring.  It's just a class about Microsoft Office... *yawn*

Wow... um my life sucks

So this last week of Christmas Break has kind of, well, sucked.

I was hoping that since the Twin Lakes School Corporation was back in session I would be getting some more calls for substituting, but no.  So, I've just been sitting here in my bed doing nothing.  I mean sure, occasionally I'll get up and scrounge around for something to eat and maybe take a shower.  Other than that I just sit here watching whatever I can find on the t.v.

Yesterday Mom got off work at 12, so we went to Lafayette to pay for classes, sell back books, and buy books for this semester.  Kind of boring, but productive.  After Lafayette I went to Monical's to see my BESTEST and get a pizza, I was starving!!  Then, I went home to do what I do... watch t.v. and wait for Patrick to come see me.  He finally got to my house around 8:45 and then we went to Taco Bell to meet Katie and Bobby.  We had a nice little meal and Patrick and I went back to his house.  I watched him play some video games and fell asleep, whoops.  He drove me home later.

This morning I did more of the same; watched t.v., ate, showered, etc.  After I got done showering I went to Monon to drop off my application for subbing in the North White School Corporation.  Then, I went to The Whistle Stop restaurant and picked up some food to take to Patrick.  We talked for a little, while he ate, and then he had to get back to work.  So, as I'm driving home, I was listening to my mp3 player on my phone, because for some reason my radio is broken.  Anyway, the song gets interrupted by a beep and I pick up my phone to see that I have a new voicemail.  So, I listen to the voicemail and two of my four classes for this semester (which starts in 4 days) have been cancelled. Seriously!?  I was only taking 12 credit hours, so now I have to find two more classes that I can take.  And I really wasn't planning on taking any in Lafayette this semester.  So, I guess I pick those two classes back up as online classes?  I mean seriously I JUST bought my books and paid for classes.  Why would they do that?

So now here I am, trying to think of my options and I'm trying not to freak out.

The Weekend

Well... again long time no blog... I don't know why I have a hard time updating...

Friday morning I didn't do much of anything.  I did some laundry and then just kind of hung out and watched some tv.  I didn't work Friday night which was really weird, I didn't know what to do with myself.  Ashley and I went to Skyline for dinner and then I dropped her off so that I could shower and put some laundry away.  I ended up talking to Patrick, so I didn't have time to put my laundry away... whoops.  Oh well.  I went to pick Ashley back up so that we could go see some coworkers at work.  I dropped Luke off at his house so that he could shower and then he walked to my house.  Then; Ashley, Luke, and I went to meet Erika at her dorm.  We were all meeting up to go to a comedy night.  We got there fairly early, so we had some really good seats.  It was really good too.  It's a group of theatre kids that got together and formed an improv group called Reflex.  After the comedy night we went back to my house to play some nerts and have a couple drinks.  Laura was home from work by then, so she joined us.  It was a lot of fun.  After I drove Ashley home I came back and went to bed.  Erika and Luke were stubborn and walked home.

Saturday morning I woke up and tried to clean my room up a little bit.  I put my laundry away and had some breakfast.  Then, I called Patrick to see where he was... he was just driving into Muncie.  So, a few minutes later he was at my door!! :)  VERY HAPPY TO SEE HIM!!  I told Aimee that I would come visit her at the McKinley Mile and see the babies!!  They are ADORABLE!!  Too bad Miss Lilly felt like she needed a nap.  So, Ashley and I only got to take our picture with Addy.  There's a thing in the SVS office... Ashley and I say that we're twins and Aimee is our mom.  Then, Aimee had Lilly and Addy... twins... so now the 4 of us are siblings.  So, it would have been nice to get a sibling shot.  Oh well.  After Patrick and I left the McKinley mile, we got some lunch at the A&W/Silver's.  And he let me play with his new phone and we took some pictures.  Then, we went back to my house to meet Laura and Brian to play some cornhole.  Patrick invited his friend Jeremy to come over.  So the 5 of us just hungout all afternoon in our front yard.  It was the first Spring-like day, so we were taking full advantage of it.  Luke finally got his butt out of bed and came over at 3:45.  So we played some cornhole until like 4:30 and then I had to get ready for work.  Luke and I worked until 10. After work we were going to hangout, but decided to take a break.  The group (Me, Lindsey, Laura, Luke, Brian) had been hanging out for like 3 weeks straight.  So, I took a shower and Patrick and I went to bed to cuddle and watch some tv.

Sunday morning Patrick and I woke up and had some breakfast.  We watched some tv and then he packed up his stuff.  He had to go meet Josh and Jessica for lunch.  I had to be at work at 12.  So, after he picked his computer up from his apartment he came to work to tell me goodbye.  I wasn't busy, so I went to give him a hug and a kiss.  Then, I worked until 8.  I got what little prep work there was done before Luke came in at 5.  So, I was basically bored at work from 5-7.  At 7 they finally sent me home since we were so slow.  We think it's because the weather was so nice, so people were grilling and didn't want to eat at a restaurant.  I called Laura and she was at Robbie's and they invited me over to the cookout that they were having.  We played cornhole until like 9:30.  Then we took Brian to his group meeting and picked Ashley up.  We decided to go to Luke's to play wii.  Brian came over after his group meeting.  We were there until like 12:30.  We dropped Brian and Ashley off at their respective homes and went to bed.

It was a great weekend!! Monday morning I was definitely still on a high from the great weather, great friends, and seeing Patrick!!

Looking up...

This weekend was kind of rough on me... :(

All week Patrick kept saying that we were going to meet in Kokomo on Saturday.  We would either have lunch or dinner, depending on my work schedule, and then walk around the mall.  So, that was the light at the end of the tunnel for me.  It kept me motivated to finish the week.  Then, Friday night he informs me that Brent, his brother, told him that he has to work on Saturday.  No biggie... he will grind some feed and then we'll meet for a late lunch.  NOPE.  Patrick had to work until 6:30. :(  So, I didn't get to see him at all.  I was seriously depressed.  It didn't help that I had to work ALL WEEKEND!  Friday and Saturday 5-10 and Sunday 12-8.  And then, when I tried talking to Patrick Saturday night, he was at a bar where there no reception.  So, that made me even more sad.  It was just a horrible weekend and I was a complete wreck.  But, Luke talked to me and said some kind words and made me think about things.  So, Patrick and I talked it out and now we're good.  For awhile I was getting pretty frustrated with the whole not talking to him a lot and not seeing him thing.

Monday was actually a good day for me.  I slept in.  Didn't do a whole lot before class. Went to class and got out an hour early.  After I came home and talked to Laura for a bit.  Lindsey and I went to King Buffet.  When Luke and Laura got home from the gym we all played nerts.  It was a rough game night for me, but it was still a lot of fun.  We played for like 3 hours... yeah we're that lame. :-P  Then, for some reason I stayed up until 2 am.  Not very smart.

This morning I woke up at like 8:30 for my 9 am class.  So, needless to say... I was looking pretty rough.  I threw on my Red Sox hat and the clothes that I changed into last night after class.  My eyes were still kind of "swollen shut."  Like when you have been awake for only like 20 minutes... Man, I was looking sexy!! Ha ha.  Class went pretty well.  I need to do some stuff to catch up in there, but no biggie.  After class I tried to come back home and fall asleep, but it just wasn't happening.  So, I talked to Patrick for a bit and just watched some tv until I had to go to work.  I worked from 4-9.  Work wasn't too bad.  The jokes got a little out of control... some feelings were hurt.  I think we're all good now... but wow.  After work I came home and showered.  Then Luke, Erika, and Brian came over to play nerts.  So the six of us, Lindsey and Jeff, played nerts for like another 3 hours.  We may need a new hobby... nah!!

And that's where we are now... Time for bed!!

Wasn't me...

First of all...

That last post wasn't me.  Lindsey was using my computer and got on my blog.  I don't feel like deleting it though.  So, whatever.  Ha ha.

Umm... What to talk about?  Well, I've been feeling kind of mopey lately.  I think I'm just ready for spring to be here, enough with the teasing.  One day it's like 65 degrees and sunny then the next day... it looks like today.  Like 40 degrees and rainy.  I'm also probably mopey because I'm so over school.  I just want summer break to be here.  I've got this summer break itch... you know where you just want to give up on school and all you can think about is going home or being out on the boat.  Yeah and it probably doesn't help that I miss Patrick like crazy.  I just want to go home, like forever.  I'm so done with Muncie.  I just want to go home and see my family and friends and Patrick.

This next 6 weeks is going to be the longest 6 weeks of my life.  I just have to remember to keep my nose in the books and keep chugging along.  Because I know me... once I get mopey and I'm no longer motivated, it's over.  So please try and help me keep my chin up.  Thanks.

Hello there.

Again, long time no blog....

Sorry, I've been on Spring Break and didn't feel like boring you all with the details.  It was really a very boring break.  I pretty much laid around home all day.  Occasionally I played some computer games, watched some tv and 3 days out of the week I met people in town for lunch.  Most of my nights were spent with Patrick, duh.  Although, Wednesday night I had a game night with the Moore's and Thursday night Patrick and I hung out with Kevin and Michelle.  Patrick left for drill Friday morning, so Friday night I went to the musical with Mom.  It was West Side Story.  The TLHS kids performed it pretty well.  I enjoyed it.  After the play, I went and stayed with Katie and Bobby.  We watched Dan in Real Life.  Not bad.  But, I had to get up at 5 the next morning to babysit the Cole and Harper.  I babysat until 2:30.  I was very hungry afterwards so I ordered a pizza when I was halfway home and picked it up before going back to my house.  Then, I took a nap.  That night Katie and Bobby and some of their friends went to Indy to P.F. Chang's and then The Melting Pot, I tagged along.  It was a pretty nice time.  Sunday morning I got up pretty early to pack and head back to Muncie.  Well, I actually tried to make it to the armory on time to meet Patrick for lunch, but I got a little lost.  So, by the time I got there he had already eaten and I didn't get to talk to him :(  And then I found a receipt for chew in his backpack, so I got mad and left.  I told him not to come to Muncie because I was mad at him.  So, I didn't get to talk to him or see him. :(  Bummer!!  But, we're good now.

He's supposed to be quit chewing.  But, he's struggling.  So, any suggestions would be very helpful.

And since I've been back to school, I've done nothing.  My class got canceled Monday night, because the professor was sick.  And our class Tuesday was canceled, because our teacher went to some conference.  I worked tonight.  It was nice to see my co-workers.  I missed them!!

And now, I'm going to call the boyfriend.  I miss him sooooo much!!  He's seriously the love of my life and this sucks being apart.  Sorry if that grossed you out or whatever.

Night :D

Long Time

I know, again it's been awhile...

Well, not too much has been going on.. so I didn't want to sit and write and bore you all.  Again like maybe 1 person reads this... so whatever.

Hmm... let's see.  Patrick went home on Monday.  He withdrew from his classes and is now home working for his dad at the mill.  He is glad to be back home.  He hated school and needs the money.  He is living with his brother Brent, so I am sure that they are having a blast.  I miss him a lot though.  It's really different going from seeing him everyday to barely talking to him.  He says that it will be ok, because we didn't see each other for 4 months while he was at basic.  I told him that it's different now.  Because back then I had only know him for 2 months, so it wasn't that big of a deal.  And now I have known him for over a year and have grown quite fond of him.  Boys... they are so dumb.  Girls get sappy and emotional.

But, now that he is back home and happy again... I can get back to concentrating on my life.  I put my life on hold for him and my classes were reflecting it.  I know, that's bad, but that's who I am.  I care about other people, so much so that sometimes I forget about me.  So, now I am back to normal and trying to concentrate on my life again.

This weekend is the start of Spring Break!! I'm so excited!!  After class gets out tonight, I'm on break!!  But... instead of going home ASAP, like I normally would... I have to wait :(  Patrick and his Brent are coming here like Saturday morning/afternoon to get the rest of his stuff.  And whatever won't fit in Brent's truck is going in my van.  So, after we are all loaded up I will be going home!! :D  And my break will be spent doing a lot of nothing.  Well, I need to get the Purdue ball rolling.  I have the application filled out and I'm sending it today.  I will be visiting people and I am babysitting on the 15th.  Other than that, I am free as a bird.

Tomorrow will be a productive day, I hope.  I need to do laundry and clean my room.  Maybe do some homework and get my school papers organized.  Then, I will just be twiddling my thumbs until Saturday morning.

Well, g2g.  Class starts in 35 minutes.  

Hooray for Birthdays!!

Yesterday was Laura's 21st birthday!!  It was a lot of fun. :)  Lindsey, Laura, and I went out to breakfast at Bob Evan's.  Then, we went to get Laura's new license... her picture turned out pretty well.  Where do you think we went next?  If you guessed the liquor store, you would be correct.  We got some Jager and some Boone's Farm.  We took two shots of Jager and chased them with Red Bull.  Then, we played some nerts.  I had to go to work until 9.  So the girls got to get cute and they had dinner at Puerta's.  I met them there after work and got to enjoy some chips and a nice glass of water.  We enjoyed swapping some stories and poking fun at Laura.  She got a little upset and told us to be nice because it was her birthday.  After dinner, the girls went to Nick's house to play Rock Band.  I was kind of tired and in need of a shower, so I declined the chance to rock out and just went to Patrick's.

Today.  I have decided to skip class, I know... bad Ashley.  But, I did it for a good reason.  I'm cleaning my room and doing laundry.  After that's done I will be doing some homework.  So, I'm skipping a 5 hour class to be productive... that's fair right!? Lindsey's mom is coming to stay the night tonight, so we are going to hangout, play nerts, and maybe do some casual drinking.  I'm pretty excited.  :) It should be fun.

Oh, and my Obama shirt came in the mail today.  Thank you to Amy for buying it for me. :)  I will post a picture when I get a chance.

College Life

Today was a pretty good day. :)

I didn't wake up until 10:30 and then Patrick and I just laid around watching tv until I drove him to class at 12:30.  Then, I just came home and hungout with Laura.  We played on our computers and she told me about her exciting Wednesday night ;)  When Lindsey got home we went to the mall and just walked around.  None of us bought anything, but it was fun to get out and do something. Laura got a haircut and the beautician fell in love with us, but I mean, come on who wouldn't?  Ha ha.

After the mall, we went to a pet store and looked at puppies that we couldn't afford :(  I don't know why we do that to ourselves, but we do it all the time.  Then, we went to McDonalds and rented a movie from the Red Box.  And they were out of sweet tea!! Lindsey and I were not happy!!! >:-O  Lindsey and I came home and took naps and Laura probably did too, we're a lazy bunch.  Ha ha.  Speaking of lazy, I skipped class so that I could do all of this.  Shh...  When we woke up at 6:30, we decided to go to Puerta's!!  The best Mexican restaurant in Muncie!!  We went in sweats and hoodies... ahhh I love us!! 

After dinner, we came back and Lindsey and I wanted to go to Laura's friend's house, but she is embarrassed of us.  So, Lindsey and I decided we would jump into Laura's car when she was on her way to the "party."  After standing outside for like 15 minutes, freezing our butts off, she finally walked outside.  We scared her, but she wouldn't let us in the car.  So, we followed her there. Ha ha.  She told us she wouldn't let us in the house. :(  So we drove to Starbucks for coffee.  Laura got back 30 minutes later and our friend Amanda arrived shortly after her.  So, we played Nerts, best card game EVER!!  I kicked their butts.

So this is where we are now.  I'm off to Patrick's and they are watching the movie, Game Plan.

So, as much as I am over college... I will miss days like this. :(
