Family Guy Quote of the Day:
(at the Child Protective Services Office right after seeing a man pull a baby out of a filing cabinet in the office)
Chris: Is this where babies come from?
Brian: Um, yes it is.
Chris (yelling at Lois): You said I came out of your vagina!!!
(Okay, if you haven't seen this episode, this probably is not funny to you at all. You gotta see the show!)
Hello everyone! I really should be studying for the Spanish test that I have tomorrow rather than writing this, but oh well. Today was a pretty decent day. I went to my three classes. History was boring as usual. I went to my voice class and found out that we have to perform our songs on Thrusday. I didn't think we were performing until Tuesday! That means that I have a lot of practicing to do tomorrow. My voice still is not completely back either. My instructor instructed (haha) me to drink lots of water and Chamomile tea, continue to take Advil Cold and Sinus and to take some kind of throat drops. I think he said tussins? I'm not sure. I really hope that my voice is better by Thursday so that I can sing.
Anyway, after class, I came home and was, once again, very unproductive. I ate a huge bowl of Baked Potato with Cheddar and Bacon Bits soup (mmmmmm) and then did nothing. I turned on the TV to watch as I ate lunch, and it didn't get turned off until I went to work. Oh well, I got off work early, so I was able to study then. After work, I just studied for a little bit and then I actually had to go back to SnS because I told one of my co-workers that I would take her home. Even though I got off early, I figured I could still take her home. After taking her home, I stopped by Marc's for a little bit. It was fun. We were both just being really stupid. Actually, I was being really stupid and Marc and Cody were laughing at me!! It was great fun. I hadn't laughed that much in a while.
Well, I'm off to bed. I have to get up in about six hours to go take my Spanish test (yay). I hope everyone is doing well. Goodnight all!:)

Lois: Peter.

Dealer: That's 30
Peter: Hit me.
Well, today has been a pretty good day until now. Well, it is still a good day, I just have an upset tummy. I went to class and took a Spanish test (went good) and an Intro to New Testament test (went not so good). The test wasn't that hard, I just (just like my history test) didn't have enought time to finish it. Well, I did finish it, but I was unable to answer the "short" answer questions to the best of my ability because of the lack of time. Speaking of the "short" answer questions, what kind of a professor defines his "short" answer questions as being two to three paragraphs long!!?? Oh well. After class, I went and worked out, ate lunch, and then went tanning (sorry again Steve). My afternoon was pretty unproductive. I practiced my song for my voice class and then played guitar for a while. At 6, the gang met over at 482 and we all went to Texas Roadhouse for Aubrey's birthday, good times. By the time we got back to they guys' place, it was time for RAW.
I am definitely ready for this semester to be over. I really am just ready to go back home for a while. Although I know that I'll only be home for a few weeks before I start counting down the days to come back to B-town. I just miss my family. I cried twice last week over them. (I know, I'm a baby!) First it was over my niece, Madi. She turned 4 while I was on spring break. She's getting so big. I can't believe she is 4 already. She needs to just quit growing! I also cried in the middle of Chili's. I did something, and Marc mentioned that I was acting like my mom. I just replied by stating that I missed my mom, and I shed a few tears! I dunno why I am so stupid about this. I guess it's just because I grew up in such a tight home. My family means so much to me, and they always have. Until this year, I had never been away from my parents for more than a week or two. I'm just a cheesy, stupid little girl at heart who still wants her mommy and daddy to say I love you and give her a kiss goodnight every night. Is that wrong? I think I am allowed to do that my first year away from home, don't you? :)
This weekend was pretty good. Saturday night was the Decades Dance Party. It was tons of fun. Marc dressed up like Elvis and performed two songs for everyone. (Lip syncing, that is) It was a great night filled with fun and fellowship. (and dancing around the great room, making complete fools out of ourselves!!) My visit with Dusty, Brad, and Josh was nice. I mainly just got to hang out with them at the party, which I don't think they were enjoying too much since they didn't know anyone. It was nice being able to see some people from home.
Well, I think that's all for today. I'm super tired so I should get some rest. I've got another fun filled day of classes, homework, and Steak n Shake to get ready for! I hope everyone has a great day!!

Family Guy Quote of the Day:
Stewie: Let me guess, you picked out yet another colorful box with a crank that I'm expected to turn and turn until OOP! big shock, a jack pops out and you laugh and the kids laugh and the dog laughs and I die a little inside.
Hello everyone!! Today was pretty good day. I went to class again from 8-11 and then I worked out till 12:30. As I was leaving the SRSC, it began to rain, not fun. I got to the first bus stop on my way home and waited for a few minutes. No bus came, so I decided to just continue walking to the next stop. Of course, right as I was directly in between both stops, a bus comes by. I try to hurry to the next stop, but I missed it. So, I continue to walk...and walk...and walk. Finally, I get almost to the last bus stop before the extension and a bus is coming. I run to get to the stop, but the driver doesn't see me and drives off. :( However, luckily there was a long line at the stop sign, so I was able to run up to the bus and the driver let me on. Oh, the joys of the IU bus system.:)
When I got home, I ate lunch, took a shower, and did laundry. After I put my clothes in the dryer, I decided to take a nap. I took a VERY nice two hour nap. Around 6 or 6:30, Dusty, Brad, and Josh showed up. I gave them the tour of the house and got them settled in. As they were leaving, I got a phone call saying I was needed at work as soon as possible. So, I ended up going into work about 45 minutes early. Work was alright. We were REALLY busy the whole time. Right now, my body is completely dead, but my mind is still racing, hence why I am typing this instead of going to bed. The busyness was worth it in the end because I made around $95-100 in about six hours. Can't beat that.
All in all, today was a pretty decent day. Tomorrow should be fun. I plan on sleeping in until around 12 or 1. I don't know what Dusty and the guys' plans are for tomorrow. Tomorrow night is the CSF Decade Dance party!! I can't wait!! Well, I think I'm about ready to go to bed now. I hope everyone is doing well!! Goodnight.:)

Family Guy Quote of the Day:
Peter: [writing letter] Dear MacGuyver, Enclosed is a rubber band, a paper clip, and a drinking straw. Please save my dog.
Hello all. Today has been a very tiring day, and I can't believe I am even staying up to type this. I went to my history class this morning in which I had a horrible test. I'm praying that I got a C on it. I still don't understand why I didn't just drop this class. It would have made my life a whole lot easier. The test consisted of two huge essay questions and five identifications. I new the material, but there just wasnt' enough time to write everything. We only had about 40 minutes to do everything. Needless to say, it was not very fun.
Despite the horrible test, my day was brightened afterwards. I surprised Marc and was waiting for him outsitde of his class. We went and ate lunch at Wendy's together. I tell you what, things have been so great with us lately. Marc has been in such a great mood, and so have I. We're able to just hang out, talk, and laugh together like we used to always do. I think I've fallen in love with him all over again over the past couple of days. *Sigh*
Afer lunch, Marc took me home and I began my hours of work on this terrible terrible paper that is due tomorrow. I worked on it for about two hours and then went out to Texas Roadhouse with Marc and Chris (which was absolutely delicious as always). After dinner, I came home and called my mom and talked to her for a while. I really miss my mom and dad. I definitely need to call home more often. Then I went to Encounter, and after that, I came back upstairs to my room and worked on the paper for another two hours or so. I am finally done with it. I think it is the absolute worse paper I have ever written, but it is over now, so that is good.
Is it just me, or does this semester just absolutely stink??!! Almost everyone I have talked to is having about as horrible of a semester as I am. I am just ready for it to be over.
Well, I need to go to bed. Tomorrow should be a good day. I'm going to class, working out, and then tanning. My brother, Dusty, and two of his friends are coming to Bloomington for the weekend, so I will be expecting them sometime tomorrow afternoon. Other than that, I plan on taking a nice nap before I have to go to work from 8 pm to 2 am. (I know, third shift again) I don't think it will be too bad because we are the busiest during those hours so I should make lots of money. Well, I hope everyone has a good night/day!

Family Guy Quote of the Day:
Peter: Oh my god, Brian, there's a message in my Alphabits. It says, 'Oooooo.'
Brian: Peter, those are Cheerios.
Well, today was a usually boring day. I went to class from 8-11, worked out, ate lunch, did laundry, studied for my history test which I have tomorrow, and went to work from 5-10. Pretty exciting, huh?:)
I still cannot figure out why I decided to take American history this semester. I hate history; I always have! I guess I just thought that it would be more interesting or something now that it was college American history. Nope, it still sucks. I have a test in that class tomorrow which is all essay. (I hate essay tests.) I really need to get at least a B on this test in order to keep my grade up. I tell you what, this semester has just totally stunk when it comes to grades. I can't wait until this semester is over.....6 more weeks!:)
Other than school, life has been pretty good. I'm finally getting decent hours at Steak n Shake again. Marc and I are doing very well. He has been in such a great mood the past few days. I love it when he is in a good mood. I just love seeing him happy, laughing, smiling, *sigh*. Ok, I'll shut up now.:) I'm feeling better, so that is good. My cold is almost gone. Well, I'm just blabbing about nothing in particular, so I am going to close for tonight and attempt to go back to my studying. Hey, I can look at it in a good way: in 12 hours, I'll be all done with my test. But then I just have to come home and write a 5 page paper that is due on Friday. Don't ya just love homework! Although I do have something to look forward to. Chris is taking me out to Texas Roadhouse tomorrow night as a thank you for buying his ticket to the RAW house show last month. Isn't he nice!!:) Well, I'm off to study. I hope everyone has a good night or day, whenever you read this.

"Family Guy" quote of the day: "I'm gonna turn you into poo!"
Well, today has been a pretty boring day. I woke up at 6:45 to get ready for class. I didn't sleep very well last night. I was up all night coughing and feeling like I was gonna be sick. I think I may have gotten two or three good hours of sleep. So, when my alarm went off this morning, I definitely did not feel like getting up. I have felt pretty bad all day. Well, not really bad, just kinda blah. I think I've gotten worse throughout the day with coughing, sneezing, running nose, all that fun stuff. I got some medicine tonight so hopefully I will be feeling better by tomorrow. I'm supposed to meet with my voice instructor tomorrow to work on a song, but I can't really sing. That proposes a problem and will probably result in a pretty pointless private voice lesson. Oh well, not much I can do.
After classes today, I did some homework and played guitar for a little bit. I hadn't played my guitar in sooo long. I learned some new chords which is always good. I have to force myself to practice bar chords!! Anyway, I began to feel worse so I took a break. The break included two episodes of Dawson's Creek and a half hour nap. Thanks to my good friend Brooke, I am now addicted to Dawson't Creek. It really is a great show. I am now saddened because I only have one episode left on my DVD set of season two. What am I going to watch now during my moments of laziness?! I know that the last episode is going to leave me wanting more, so I may just have to go buy season three!!:)
Well, that was pretty much the extent of my not so exciting day today. I went over to the guys' place as usual to watch RAW which was a pretty good show, kinda confusing, but good. Now I am off to load up on some Tylenol Cold and attempt to get a good night's rest. Have a good day everyone!!:)
"Family Guy" quote of the day:
"Tom! Tom Bosley!"
Well, it seems that all my friend's have blogs, so I figured, what the heck, I may as well start one as well! :)
Well, today we got back from D.C. around 2:30. This spring break was by far the abosolute BEST break ever!! I don't think I have ever had so much fun in my entire life. I'm not going to go into too much detail about the week other than the fact that it was tons of fun. We went to NY and stayed with Steve's aunt and uncle and toured the city and what not. Oh yeah, we also went to this little event called Wrestlemania. You may or may not have ever heard of it, but it was AWESOME!!!!:) On Tuesday, we headed to D.C., and we stayed with Steve's mom and dad. We spent three days touring the city and seeing all the sites. It was tons of fun as well. I have definitely decided that my family has to go on a family vacation to D.C. so that my dad can see everything. I know he would love it! He is such a history buff and I know that he would have a story for every memorial we went to. I can't wait to go to D.C. with him some day. Friday we had a party for Steve's birthday. It was a lot of fun. Cody, Marc, and I got to meet some of Steve's family's friends. They were all really nice. We started back on the road on Saturday to head back to B-town. Long drive = Lots of sleeping for "lil Kim" as Cody would say!:) So, that is our trip in a nutshell!
I did a lot of thinking this week just about life and where I am heading. I have decided that I think I know what I want to do, but I don't what to do what I am going to have to do in order to do what I want to do. That was a very odd and confusing sentence. Let me explain...I have decided that I do still really want to pursue a career in music. I really want to be a music teacher some day. It all started with my mom telling me how horrible my old high school's spring show was this past weekend. I just know that I could put on some great shows some day. So, now that I am pretty sure of what I want to do, I now just have to major in music. Well, as most of my fellow IU Hoosiers now, the IU School of Music is not that easy to get into. I think I read one day that only ten percent of the people who audition actually get in. TEN PERCENT!! I really don't think that I would be included in that ten percent.....but, there's no harm in trying. So, I've decided to go ahead and audition for the School of Music in the fall and just see what happens. If I don't get in, I am proposed with quite a big problem. I love IU. I love the university, I love the people, and I love my CSF house!!! I really don't want to have to leave and go somewhere else, but I also know that if I am going to pursue music, I am most likely going to have to, which really stinks. Plus, what is going to happen with me and Marc if I have to go somewhere else? We went the first year and a half of our relationship being and hour or so apart, so I guess we could do it again. I dunno. I do know that God has a plan for me and my life. I know that if He wants me to stay at IU, He will provide a miracle and let me get accepted to the School of Music. I also know that if I have to go to another school in order to major in music, He has a plan for me there, too. I just have to trust Him.
Well, that's all for today. I hope you enjoyed my first posting on my new blog. I'll try to keep this updated as much as possible. Thanks for reading, and I hope everyone has a great night/day!!:)
