Brad, Keith, and Me

The semester is almost over. I guess you can't really call it a semester though...its only been a month. I am glad classes will be coming to an end though. Hopefully I will get an A in both of them. It looks like that may be a possible possibility. I am still working....at Sonic. I don't like it even more now. I was working at this one Sonic close to where I live. There are like six Sonics here in College Station. Well I didn't like the job, but the people there are a lot of fun and I was getting to know them, when they transferred me without telling me about it! They are opening a new Sonic that isn't even a real Sonic. Its like a normal fast food restaraunt; you go in and order and sit down and eat or you can go through the drive through...weird, right? So yea, that sucks. School is eh...but my birthday was good. I went out to dinner with some buddies and me and Lianna went and watched Nacho Libre. Yeah, I fell asleep. I thought it was going to be good because I like dumb movies like that, but yea it sucked. Wow, things are sucking a lot more than usual...I guess I didn't realize though. Well something good that happened....yesterday I found two stray kittens near a dumpster so I brought them in with me. They are gray and white...one has long hair and the other one has short hair. I am assuming they are related. I was thinking of names and I thought of two boy names and two girl names. Well, the cats are both boys so I named them Brad Paisley and Keith Urban. The girl names were Shania and Carrie Underwood. But yea, they are real nice cats except the peed on my blanket last night!! I was mad but then I just figured I would let them use it to sleep on and stuff. My roomate is gone so its nice to have some company. I am gonna put pitures up later. I made an awesome dinner last night too. I usually don't cook, but I felt like it yesterday for some reason. Well I made spaghetti with meatsauce and mushrooms. Yum. I also made corn on the cob...well I didn't make it or grow it, but you know what I mean...and garlic bread, for dessert chocolate chip cookies, and to drink a homemade strawberry lemonade. It was my first time to make it and it was definitely amazing. Lianna came over and had dinner with me...well she loved it :) I can't believe how fast this summer is going. I have a little over a month before I have to be back for Freshman Orientation Week...meh. I get to go home next week if all goes as planned. My people need to come visit me! I get bored. But atleast now I have Keith and Brad, lol.

'Cause I'm Bossy!

Haha...I've been called bossy twice in the past week. It's funny, because I am not bossy, (Joey!). I just like things done right...well anyway...I felt like writing since I have some free time. I did something stupid, yet again, when I was driving the other day. Well I was just coming home and I pulled up to a stop sign, and I guess I wasn't thinking, but I was waiting for it to change colors or something, lol. On the road I live on there is only that one stop sign, and like a million traffic lights, so in my defense, it is very easy to get them confused! I was so embarassed though because the people behind me started honking after a while, lol. I felt so dumb. But anyway, classes are going good, I guess. Theatre Arts is so frikin boring, and there has not been a day yet this week that I haven't fallen asleep in class. I didn't even go today, mainly because I stayed the night with my friend James, and we stayed up late. We went to The Tap, a bar here in College Station. I can't drink, but it is still fun to go because on Wednesday nights they have a piano bar and the guy takes requests and makes up his own songs. Its really funny. I actually saw Josh Grace there last night. It was cool, I guess. I got my first test back in my Sociology class, and I got an A as well as a compliment about my writing from the Prof, one of the few, so I was very excited. I am one of the youngens' in my class, as I am in most of my classes, so Prof's are always skeptical about your abilities. I've been meeting a lot of new, really fun people. I also got a job....at Sonic. I've worked twice. It sucked the first night, but last night was better. I may stay there, but I have an interview at TJ Maxx tomorrow, so I guess we'll see. I wanted to work at PetCo with all the animals but they aren't hiring. Oh well. I hope that even though I am working I will still have time to do my workouts. I was doing so good and I loved my schedule before my job. I went to an Abs and Back class like 5times a week, Yoga twice, and Hip-Hop and Step Aerobics twice, and then after each class I would run. I loved it, and Desiree has been advising me on how to eat healthier. Of course I splurge sometimes, and no I am not trying to lose weight, I am just trying to adopt a healthy lifestyle so I can be in better shape. I am pretty much set on joining the Marine Corps, so I will need to be in amazing shape, not just good shape. But I've got several compliments on my stomach, and personally I don't even think it looks that great....it'll only get better :) On a more depressing note, yesterday was the 14 year anniversary of my parents deaths. I can't believe its been that long. Tony will be 15 this year, Stacy 17, and me 19. I always think of where I would be if they were still alive. A&M? Paradise, even? Its hard to think about stuff like that but I am very thankful for what has been given to me, but its like I had to pay a price for it. Saying the word 'Mom' or 'Dad' out loud is so weird to me. I dunno....its weird living without them, but it has given me a sense of independence since a young age. But yea....sorry to get all depressing, all of a sudden. I will be 19 in 11 days...yay......no big plans as of now, but who knows. Guess thats it for now. Thanks for reading and God Bless!

Week Two & Lessons Learned

Well its my second week here at A&M. Everything is great. A lot of my friends are home, so it has given me the opportunity to meet some new people. I have had a lot of fun, but I have yet to find a job. I even applied at Sonic, lol. For real, thats no joke. But, no one has called me, so I am going to continue to the search tonight. Today is 6-6-06....the only importance that serves to me is that The Omen is coming out. That movie looks crazy and scary, so me and Lianna are gonna go see that tonight, to get the crap scared out of us. It should be fun. I am watching MAD TV right now. I love MAD TV. I had forgotten how much I missed tv....its a really amazing invention. My favorite commercial is that T Mobile commercial with that family talking really fast to each other, like an auction, in order to save minutes....LOL...its so funny....well anyway...I've had two embarassing moments in less than 24 hours. Well they aren't really embarassing when I do them, because I don't realize how dumb they were until later during the day. Well the first was last night, I was coming home from the rec on campus. I was never aware the you couldn't drive on the median. Well I turned off the main road onto another road where I have to turn off of to get where I live. Well there is a median that goes for about a mile and a half until I have to turn, so I immediately got onto it and drove all the way until I turned. People were honking and stuff. Its okay though, its easier to drive on the median because there are no cars so I can just go. Lol. Well the other thing happened today in class. I am taking a class called Minority Groups for my major....its self explanatory, we talk about different minority groups, not just ethnic groups though. Well lately we have been talking about ethnic groups, and today he asked what are some deragatory or stereotypical names people use to refer to certain races. Well I started naming some off, you know like wetback, cholo, beaner, so on. Well one girl turned around and just looked at me, and then I realized that it was a joke, a rhetorical question, that he didn't expect an answer to, just because of the nature of the question. I am pretty sure I turned red. It was funny though. Anyway...I am really sore. I have been trying to work out everyday, which has been going pretty good, but I feel like I am not working out hard enough, so I started attending classes that the rec center has. I've done an abs and back class the last two days, and DAMN. The girl teaching it is more hardcore than any PT sessions in the Corps, lol. Well I better go get dressed and go keep looking for a job. I have phone push tonight...the movies....meet up with a friend...just hang....even though I should study. I am having fun though. Gig 'em!!

It's Been Over a Month...

I have been meaning to post lately, but I guess I've just been really busy. Well the Spring semester finally ended. I ended it with a GPR that IS above a 3.0, so I am very excited. The Corps is dead now. I kind of miss it, as crazy as they may seem. It has only been like 3 weeks. But I can't wait to come back this fall. This summer is going to go by really quick. But after Final Review and stuff I went home and really did a bunch of nothing. I went to some graduations, saw a lot of friends, family, you know the usual. I wanted to work, but didn't. I wanted to get stuff done for the Corps and for school, but I didn't. It was good to be home, as it always is. Well I came back to College Station last Sunday. It has been really good so far, but no luck finding a job. I am taking 6 hours so its not too bad. I have already met a lot of awesome people, and I think this summer is going to be great. I am watching Friends right now, and I honestly don't feel like writing, so nothing profound or intelligent today. Sorry.
