Darn It

Ok, so I think that God may find himself to be rather humorous. I woke up really late today [around 11] to get ready for work, and I noticed something rather unfortunate: it was dark outside - and it was COLD. That's right, I said cold, C-O-L-D cold. It's cold here in McAllen today [aka it's only like 60 degrees or something], although I've been informed that it was it's usual pretty self BEFORE I woke up. Ok, ok, so I'll get up early from now on.

Well, I'm dressed and headed out the door in my gray pants, black shirt and black heels [ I love Old Navy]. My pretty purse makes me happy...I should be home around 6:00 so untill then


Peace Out Everyone!

VACATION...YES!

Allrighty then, school is over for now and it's time for my month long vacation. Excited, you betcha! Goodness, after my ConLaw final on Friday, I was ready to sleep for like a year. Unfortunately for me, I still had to finish my honors capstone project...and of course, Layne chose NOW to be incapacitated [I TOLD HIM ABOUT THAT BIKE MANY A TIME...AH WELL.]

I packed my stuff up yesterday morning and pulled out at 10:12 AM from mi casa. Then, with Tyler in my car and a one Jeremy Pond behind us, we headed to Starbucks for one last semester hurrah [stopin' off at Dr. Dillman's of course, to drop off my Senior Capstone -hahahaha!!]. The Strawberries & Creme was good and the company and converstion were better, so it was a nice start to my Christmas Holidays.

Well, we gave Jeremy Pond his present at Starbucks, and he loved it [I think, sometimes he's hard to read, but he's so intense if he hated it we probably would've known.] See, our good friend Mr. Pond works at the KACU radio station and unfortunately, must spend these first two weeks of Christmas Break in ABILENE. And, he's only a Freshman, and he's only SEVENTEEN!! [So, I definately would've cried if that were me.] So, unbeknowst to him, I alert a good 16 people or so to this terrible miscarriage of justice, and we get a crackin'. We made him an Xpando [like what we use for DB8]. We decorated it and indexed it for his 2-week stay. There's one letter for every single day he'll be alone in Abilene from a different person, a giant card, introductory instructions, emergency entertainment, movies and books he should see, a Hastings Rental Account and much more. [It was, after all, a 31-pocket Xpando!] It was a good thing...plus, the Xpando was DECORATED...I LOVE STICKERS.

Moving on...

After leaving Starbucks I headed out of Abilene [Thank God] and toward home. However, I stoped in San Antonio where my brothers, my father, some familly friends, and I watched the Spurs / Caveliers Game @ the SBC Center. It was GLORIOUS. And, WE WON! GO SPURS, GO SPURS, GO SPURS...ahhh, yes it was good. [Also, I watched the brillance of Lebron James in action. He dunked on Tim Duncan. Then, at one point when it looked as if he was going up for a rebound on a Spurs Shot, he SMACKED the ball instead. And, he hit the ball sooo hard it flew the 30 feet off the court and like FIFTY FEET into the air. Spiffing, simply spiffing. The King was in the house.]

Well, I'm tired today and stuff, but good to be home. We'll see how the vacation unfolds. I'm definately starting work tomorrow at Atlas & Hall [afternoons only - I'm to tired for full time right now].

Peace Out

I'm Posting DANGIT So WATCH ME!

Ok, so I have decided that allthough I have numerous other things I could and SHOULD be doing I'm going to sit here and post on this blog ANWAYZ. Ridiculous, yes? Well, I don't flippin' care so there. Moving on, let us all now take the time to discuss stuff that only matters to me because I'm goofy like that. I'm excited about my blog it is oh so beautiful...


UPDATE: SUNDAY

So, yesterday I had a good day. Church was in Moody because of the 75th Anniversary or whatever, and afterwards, I went home to get some chow and get to work on homework. So, then what? Oh yes, MORE HOMEWORK!! Today, I had a makeup quiz for Social Psychology due @ 12:00 noon on Monday, nd two make-up tests: one in American Presidency and one in Constitutional Law. So I needed to study for those. After that, Tyler and I went to dinner @ Taco Bueno [I'm gonna miss my weekly time with Tyler when I graduate, I know I am!] After that, we went to Christmas at the Paramount - the cheeziest thing in America, but alltogether good for engendering Christmas Spirit - and then to Starbucks. While we were there, we ran into Partner and Ashley [our counterparts: the Dynamic Latte Duo]. After this, we went to Tyler's to watch British comedies only to discover THEY'D CHANGED THE SCHEDULE. How annoying, no "Keeping Up Appearences"? I shall never recover, ah...sigh.

All in all, life was pretty cool today, it hasn't been as cold as I was afraid it would be this week, and there are only a few more days left before I get to go home and be w/ mi familia.

Cheers.

I Have So Much to Say, But Really, It Amounts to Nothing At All...

I would love to say that I post on this blog "religiously" but I'm afraid that's not quite true. It is a shame though, because i use this blog as unwinding time. I really enjoy writing stories and other amusing things, and it makes me happy to know that my friends are reading this and that way I can make sure we ALL stay up on what each other are doing...So maybe, I should learn the discipline of posting more regularly.

So today, I woke up @ 7:00 am and thought to myself: WHY MUST MY INTERNAL CLOCK TORTURE ME SO???!!!! I didn't have an 8:00 class today so it seemed, to me anyway, to be quite futile, this idea of getting up that early. I'm enjoying the fact that I no longer have debate lab @ 5:30 am this semester for either extemp or LD, so i was hoping to catch up on some much needed sleep. Of course, this would never be the case with me. Instead of course, my body chose to wake me up far to early in order to be spiteful for the lack of milk I've been drinking lately or something like that.

My 9:00 class was good today, the European Union and Balance of Payments stuff. [I like learning about the FX market but maybe that's just me.] Chet left this morning @9:30 or so and I'm a bit sad about it. It's kinda dishartening to think of everyone moving farther and farther away from each other. It will be quite some time before I see him again, but I suppose it will be allright.

I had to run some errands this morning after class, so I was glad it got out early. It gave me a chance to come down and do some of my daily "administrative tasks" or whatever you want to call it. I'm a little tired but that's a given at this point. So, I made a run to Financial Aide and other such things. Then, I get to check my email, work on my planner and do the upcoming week. Also, I get time to post on this blog. About this I am pleased. So, that's the administrative update for the day. Smile everyone, Christmas [Vacation] is coming!

End of School

Well faithful blog readers, this is the last week of school and I'm so unbelievably tired. It's for real true, you know it? I haven't slept well or eaten much in days and I'm doped up on Caffiene. But that's pretty much over now. I had my last test of the year today at 12:00 in Consitutional Law. But now it's over, and I can get started on Finals Week. Really, I look forward to finals week.

a) I don't have to work
b) I only have to go to class like once a day
c) there's no debate lab or practice [ i like debate and all, but practice is EXHAUSTING]
d)I get more sleep than i do normally

So, let us all review my upcomin' schedule...

Friday December 2nd: My 8:00 class is optional, so guess who's NOT going! Hahaha, me! Then I have a 9:00 class and THEN I'M DONE FOR THE SEMESTER! Then later that evening, it will be time for the SA Social!!!! Eventually, I'm gonna try to go the Village in Cullen -IT'S FREE.

Saturday: Meeting w/ Layne tht matters not...

Sunday: Church and Tyler's B-day Party

Monday: DEAD DAY...rockin' it ALSEEP

Tuesday: 10:00am - 12:00 American Presidency Final

Wednesday: 2:00 - 4:00 pm Social Psychology Final

So Today Is Finally OVER

My dear blog readers, how are you today? I tell you what, I'm excited that Wednesday is over. Wednesday is my long day - my BUTT LONG DAY. I always have class from 8:00-10:00 and by the time I get to Wednesday I never can manage to actually GET DRESSED BEFORE CLASS. Therefore, I must always spend my 10;00-11:00 hour getting myself ready for the day. I man the office from 12:00 to 5:00 for SA. Today, everything was of course, a mad house.

Ahh, I return

So, does anyone want to know how my day was today? Even if you don't want to I'm going to tell you ANYWAY. It all started when I was almost late [but not quite so there] to my MWF @8:00 class. Ok so last week the classroom we usually have class in was flooded out. So we've been having class in a concrete room with no heat now. And well, this morning we all discovered that not only had someone stolen the space heater, but SOMEONE LEFT THE WINDOW OPEN. It was like 22 degrees. I am not amused or pleased. Dr. Culp said the last time this happened he had everyone take a picture with their sweatshirts and blankets and he sent it upstairs...

Well, at least I wasn't late: that was quite an accomplishment.

Then I went to economics and we were learning about the FX Market and exchange rates. Well, I've grown up changing dollars for pesos all the time so you know...not un problemo. So class - besides the fact that I froze - completely uneventful.

The trip back though - very entertaining. So, at about 1:30 or so Conrad and I take off to pick up David. Then, we realize we need gas, so we stop off at the gas station, but not before I realized I left my sunglasses and had to go back and get them. After we get gas and are on the loop, I realize I left my chocolate fudge brownies that my mom made IN BAGS ON THE COUCH. Craptastic. So AGAIN, off the loop and back to the house. [By this time my black lab is VERY confused] Eventually, we get to David's, and then have to take a guitar to some random person's house before we can leave - DON'T ASK. So, a Hispanic, a Mexican, a Mexican American, and a rodent in his own crack house take to the road.

Yes, I said rodent. David brought home from Abilene a white Japanesse rat in a cardboard box with newspaper and crumbs: his own little crack house. It was kind of disturbing. As we approached the checkpoint we realized our little troop did not make for an unsuspicious bunch: we look like a drug ring with a young Madam. For those who don't know, you cannot leave south Texas without passing through a check point with Border PatrolAnd, coincidentally, this happened to be JUST what the border patrol was looking for on Sunday. Ironic isn't it? I should have paid more attention to the four points bulletin...I hate the border patrol.

The rat was amused. That is all, suffice to say I saw someone kill Bambi's mom...
