Well it has been FOREVER since I have updated my blog...Lost of things have happened. So Lets see where do I start?
Well I PASSED THE PRAXIS!! Thank goodness! I was so worried about that so that is a HUGE load off of me! I know i passed the Reading and Math but I dont know about the Writing for 2-3 weeks, so hopefully I passed it. Who knows...but I took the Praxis at 9 am in the morning! How fun is that? haha but i got done a little earlier than normal..i was finished by 12 and then i had to rush to get some lunch and then run to my math class. So yesterday was a pretty busy day. I had soo many meetings to go to that afternoon! it was crazy!! But at least Monday is over now....i cant wait until this weekend... I need a break already! haha
This past weekend Jenna E., Brandy and I went to see Jenna H. in Warsaw. It was a blast!! Brandy drove us up there which was quit funny. She says she refuses to drive next time...haha what a nerd. We were stalked by some nasty old truck driver...ewww...it was quit gross. Whoever was in the passenger seat stuck his head out of the window and waved to us. haha creepy old men...
We got to Jenna's apartment around 7ish (it took us almost 2 hours to get there..haha). Her apartment was really cute! It wasnt what I thought it would be. We went and ate at Applebees. Oh my goodness the hostess there was a little annoying. I thought Brandy was going to tell her off...that would have been funny. We waited to be seated for almost an hour...it was crazy! While we were sitting some guy came up and asked me if I went to Ball State and where I was from...haha that was interesting. The food was yummy though! After that we went to Blockbuster and rented two movies. Then we went back to Jenna's apartment and watched a movie and all of us fell asleep on the floor.
That next morning, Jenna E. went and watched Jenna H. play at a concert...Brandy and I was too lazy to go..haha sorry Jenna but we still heart you! We were suppose to study for the test...but that didnt happen...haha...we are slackers. They got back around 3ish and then we went to grabbed some food and went and ate at the park. It was soo pretty out there..Winona Lake is beautiful! Then we ran some errands around town and i got my hair cut! haha how exciting. Then we went to Jenna's parents house and watched 13 going on 30 before the bonfire started. It was soo much fun! We ate tons of food...mostly junk food, went on 2 hayrides, went through the scary woods at night (haha i am glad to see that Jenna and Jenna thought it was fun to scare the crap out of me!), sat around the bonfire, met some new people, and ate some more. It was a ton of fun! We didnt get back to Jenna's apartment until 2 am in the morning! haha..then we all fell asleep pretty quickly and didnt get up until 12 the next day!
On sunday, we got up and got ready and headed to the Boathouse for Lunch. It was soo good!!! yum! Then we went to the park and played on the playground for a while. Then Brandy, Jenna E, and I headed back to Ball State. On the way back Brandy had a driving buddy...haha it was crazy. I think he liked jenna because he smiled at her an awful lot...haha we almost died on the highway with the way Brandy was driving..haha just kidding brandy! haha...it was a ton of fun! I cant wait to go back!!
Well that is how my weekend went...a ton of fun until i came back to BAll State and had to go to a Study session that night...oh well...back to reality!
Well now my night shift (3:30-7am) is almost done! thank goodness! i am starting to get tired!!!
I will try to update more often! but i am not promising!!

Well since it has been a while since i have updated my blog...i decided to do so and some of my friends were nagging me to update it. So the past couple of weeks have been busy. I am getting use to my classes now, but i dont like a few of them. so hopefully i will make it through the semester! Health class is a class that is hard to stay awake in...it doesnt help that it is from 3:30-4:45. I dread going to that class everyday! haha but at least Amanda M. is in my group. My group is a pretty interesting group...haha remember Amanda we are going to join the soroity that our two fave people are in! haha..oh my fun times! And having Geography lab with Erin and Jenna are interesting. I think Erin has a crush on our Lab Assistant...haha she thinks he is sexy..oh my!
I did make the RHA rep! that was exciting! Tonight is my first meeting! yay...we will see how this goes!
Heather and Sara came up and saw me on thrusday! We went and ate at GREEKS (not Chicago's sara sue!) and had wonderful pizza...it was sooo yummy! I also learned some things about some of my high school friends...:S people do change after high school! haha anyways...it was fun. sara and heather both diagnosed me with SAD..hopefully after my sessions with them i will be able to get over SAD...haha..i just love my friends
The other night Erin and I had a permanet marker fight...haha that was funny. Erin being the weird roommate she is, decides to mark a bag of her chips and i was making fun of her for it. But in reality she was just going to write something else with it..so then she goes over to were our food is at, and decides to mark all over everything with her initials. I then started doing the same. Erin decided that she was going to mark my stuff, like my shampoo, shoes, etc. with her initials and then i did the same to her. And then i wrote on her Orlando Bloom poster with a dry eraser marker. I wrote things about how much he loved me and hated her and thought she was trash. So she decided to write mean things on my poster...oo and Erin started marking all over me!!! so i got her back..haha it took awhile to get the marker off but it finally came off...haha oo goodness fun times. Do you guys see what i have to put up with? i dont know if i can make it the rest of the year with her! she drives me crazy!!! hahah...this is going to be an interesting year....
Well that is about it for this week...I will try to update my blog more often! So are you happy now Sara, Jenna, and Chrissy?!?!

Well it has been a while since i have last updated my blog so here is what has been going on in my life for the past couple of weeks:
The first week of school went pretty well. I think i am going to like all of my classes except math, but math was never one of my fave classes. I really do like all of my professors, i think i will learn a lot. my edel class is going to be exciting because i get to go to Burris and teach a lesson to 5th graders. On tuesday my group is going to Burris to observe. I am excited...I cant wait to teach! The week went by pretty fast and some parts of it was slow. With working, i am already know that I am going to be tired! But i think i can handle it! hopefully!
I worked my first night shift this past tuesday. Let me tell you how exciting that was....not at all! No one came it at all! Only 2 people left which was at 5 am. I worked from 3:30 am to 7 am and I had a 10 am class plus i didnt get done until 5 pm. I wasnt as tired as i thought i would be, but it did hit me the next day. I did get pretty tired. but i made it! I dont know how well I am going to like working that night shift especially when i start getting alot of homework and stuff. but jenna said that if i ever needed her to she would switch, so that was nice of her...THANKS JENNA!!! I HEART YA! haha....
On Friday i celebrated my 19th birthday! It was fun. Some of the girls on my hall decorated my door and people had written happy birthday all over my dry erase board...THANKS GIRLS! i have the BEST hall ever! Jenna also bought me a cookie cake with this lovely picture of a "carebear" that looked like a greatful dead bear....haha it was a nice thought though jenna! Then my parents came up and took me out to eat and shopping. We had fun. We i got back, breanna, erin and i went and rented Along Came Polly and went to IHOP...yum! We didnt get to watch a lot of the movie because i had to get up at 7 am to go to work so i fell asleep...but we still had a lot of fun! so it was a good birthday!
Well that is about all that had happened this week. Now I get to get ready and work another night shift from 12-4 am! now that should be fun..haha but brandy is going to come down and watch a movie with me to keep me up! So we will see how this goes! Well i have to start heading down there!
BYE!

It was a lot of fun. I bought some jeans which was something that I had wanted to buy. After that we came to the campus and moved me in. My roomie Erin was already here and it was her birthday which i know it just made her day to see me on her birthday. haha...the only thing was that I forgot my computer at home! i couldnt believe it...i had thought that i has packed it and everything, but i didnt. I was so mad but my parents drove back and brought it back up to me. After moving all my stuff in i had to go to a meeing for opening committee. We got a schedual and boy am i going to be very busy this week! there is a ton of stuff to do!
Well today we had a full day! about 12 hours! what a day it was! We did very well though! And it did go by very fast but i am tired. So hopefully tomorrow will go by fast. I have to pay my bill and pick up my books tomorrow to get ready for school!

Well I know it has been forever since I have updated my blog. So after a few friends nagging me about it (Sara, Erin, and Jenna) I thought I would update it for them. Well not a whole lot has happened to me this summer. I basically have been working or hanging out with my friends. So as you can see my life is just very exciting...hahah....yeah right. Well school will be starting pretty soon and I am looking forward to move back but not the whole going to class and doing my homework. I cant wait to see what this year is going to bring. haha you guys are soo crazy! And having Erin as my roommate, we will never have a dull moment...haha
I am leaving for Holiday World tomorrow and wont be back until Friday. That will give me a break from work...haha...but the bad thing is we wont get back on friday until right before I have to go to work at 5 and i work until 11. Then on Saturday I have to work from 9 to 5. so i am going to be very tired. Hopefully I will get a tan while i am down there.
The rest of the summer is going to go by fast because I will be pretty busy. The last week of July I am helping out at our church camp. That should be fun. I always loved going to camp so i am sure i will have fun helping out at it. Then on the first week of August I am helping out at our Vacation Bible School. Then the weekend of the 6th-8th I am going to Fort Wayne to see Jenna E. and go to the Rascal Flatts/ Kenny Chesney Concert! I am soo excited! It is going to be soo much fun!! Plus that weekend jenna and i are going to take the Praxis Test....I am not looking forward to that but I hope I do well and pass. So everyone pray hard that I pass it! Then on August 14th I move into the dorms...wow summer is coming to an end and another year of school is coming up! I cant believe i am already a sophomore! wow time if flying!!
Well that is about it for my exciting life...haha...as you can tell. Well I got to go and pack for holiday world!

This week has been a lot of fun. Jenna H. Jenna E. Amanda M. and Erin all went down to Evansville, Kentucky and Brown County. It was soo much fun! First of all, Erin, Jenna and Jenna were late coming to my house. I found out it was because of Erin. Go figure...hahah..just kidding Erin. Erin gave Jenna H. and Jenna E. the wrong directions to get to her house. So they were about an half hour late. We made it down to Evansville with no trouble at all. We stopped at Terre Haute to eat lunch at IHOP. When we got to Breanna's house she wasnt home so we just sat downstairs in her room until she got back. Her mom made us some dinner when Breanna got home. It was yummy. We all decided to go to Target to buy some batteries for Jenna. Well while Amanda M. got the great idea to skipp down the driveway she took a fall! she hurt her knee and ankle. Her knee was bleeding! so we decided to get some bandades for Amanda also. While we took our trip to Target, Jenna H. me, Breanna, and her bf Aaron left b4 the others got their stuff and moved the cars. It was funny. We saw Jenna E. come out of the store looking for us. Apparently they had us paged in the store...."Will Amanda Flynn and her party please come to the front your party is waiting..." oh great! haha...well we got back and We stayed up and talked for a little bit and then fell asleep.
On Wednesday we begin our day at 5:30 am to start taking our showers. We left at about 7:30 am to head towards Mammoth Cave. It was suppose to take 3 hours to get to mammoth cave but.....it took us just a little bit longer. haha...we got lost TWICE! it was good times! We went over the Ohio River (which Erin asked if the Mississippi River was the River we would cross...hahah) THREE TIMES just on the way down there! When we saw a sign that said Welcome to Indiana....we knew we were going the wrong way. We kept missing one of our Exits because the signs in Kentucky are not very good. So we had to stop and ask for directions in Owensboro to see what exit we are suppose to get off. Well we FINALLY made it to Mammoth cave...well at least we thought....when we got to the road that goes through the park, it said it was closed?!?! we were soooo close! we couldnt believe it! so we had to take the Detour to get to the other side of the park. Well after we took our country tour thanks to Jenna H. (haha) we stopped at a gas station to ask if we were going the right way. Well it took us 45 mins. to get to the other side! it was ridiculous!! haha well we finally made it to the vistor station. We picked the 3 hour tour which was 3 miles. it didnt start until 2 and it was 12 so we ate there at the park and walked around taking pictures. Then we took the tour. it was a lot of fun. Erin had to carry the lanture which i think made her feel special...haha....i was soo happy that Amanda M. didnt fall and hurt herself! i think those tennis shoes helped! it was really interesting to see the cave and all of the things that has happened in there. Well our trip home only took us 2.5 hours instead of the 5! that was thankful. On our way home, we saw Dinasour World and Hillbilly Hound Funpark! hahah that was a laugh! When we got back it was about 9 so we went into Evansville and ate and got a card at Wal Mart for Breanna and her family for letting us stay. Then we came back talked for a while and fell asleep.
On thrusday we woke up at 6:30 am and got ready for the day home. We ate breakfast and thanked them for letting us stay at their house. Then it was on our way to Nashville Indiana to go to Brown County! We didnt get lost or anything and we got there in no time. We took some pictures when we got there and went to Nashville to see the town. It was a cute town so the girls and I decided that we want to come back to explore the town and come horse backriding! that would be soo much fun! After spending some time there we headed back to New Castle. I got home around 4 30.
It was a lot of fun! I cant wait until next summer to take another one!!! haha we had sooo many laughs along the way. and we never fought about anything! hahah...it was a blast!
Well yesterday I had to work from 9-5 and today i have to work from 1-10. so i guess my vacation is gone...haha oh well...summer is going by fast and school will be here in no time. great classes again. haha....

Well this holiday weekend has been pretty good. I worked on Friday and Saturday which wasnt bad because we were having a sidewalk sale so we stayed pretty busy. It was looking pretty messy when I was leaving on Saturday. On Sunday we had an afternoon service at church and a pitch in dinner. It was fun and there was a lot of good food. yum. haha...at the afternoon service we had a quartet come a sing. They were really good. Then we went and played one pitch. It was a lot of fun. I am really sore right now though! Goodness...i havent had ran like that in a long time. Last summer was the last time I went and played one pitch! hah but it was a lot of fun. I am still sore from playing! Then a bunch of us went to the pastor's house to watch the Pacers game...which they lost...it was also storming pretty bad too. The lights went out once and Miss Robin started screaming...haha that was funny. but no tornados came...that was a plus. Danielle and I were not feeling very safe bc we had no basement. And when the tornado sirens were going off no one really cared...everyone was to into the game...haha wow....then on Monday my family had a cookout at my grandparents house. It was fun. and that is about all i did this holiday weekend.
Today i am leaving with Jenna H. Jenna E. Erin, and Amanda M. to go to Evansville to see Breanna and then go to Kentucky! it is going to be soo much fun! i am excited!! haha...road trip! wow we will see how this goes! I think we have a lot of fun trying to find how to get to these places!!! haha...we will see!
Well my friend sara wanted me to write that she is my best friend and I dont know what i would do without her... hahah well we all know that this is a lie! she is very mean to me...she said that she hoped i would get taken away by a tornado while i was gone...hmm see how good of a friend she is! haha but it is all okay bc she said that she will speak at my funeral...i am sure only bad things will come out of her mouth! but i am going to speak at hers and we both are going to speak at heathers! haha wow what plan....well she is a nut sometimes!

Well lately i have been working quit a bit at goody's which i am not complaining because of the nice check i should be recieving...haha. but yesterday was my day off as well as today! yay! yesterday i subbed for the computer lab at Wilber Wright school. it was fun. i had kindergarten and 2nd grade. they were soo adorable! the kindergarten where sooo sweet. this one little boy would come up every 5 mins. and give me a hug! it was soo cute! basically i spilt the class in half, and half of them got on the computers and played a game while the other half watched a movie about animals in Austrialia. then they would swtich after about 30 mins. boy did those kindergartens talk up a storm! it was a lot of fun though. then i had the 2nd grade. they did the same thing as the kindergarteners did. half played a game and the other half watched a movie and then they would switch. these kids were a little more of a handful. this one little girl acted up the entire time we were watching the movie. she was really good when she played on the computer but when she watched the movie she was awful. but the other kids were making fun of her. they were all picking on each other. boy i did not realize how mean some kids could be. the little girl though didnt care she enjoyed it. she also said some inappropriate stuff and i had to sit her next to me and tell her that she was not to say anything like that again bc it was not nice. but she also rides my church bus to church so i know what her home life is like. i felt bad for her but she really needs some disapline. the teacher is going to call her parents tonight because of her behavior, but she didnt care she was glad. so i just hope all goes well there. they were pretty good though, i mean all of them did listen to me which was a plus. so it was a pretty good day! i had a lot of fun.
last night at about 8:45 pm i went to go and play tennis with heather and sara. haha boy was that fun. sara, me and you make a good team against heather....hahahaha...heather told us about her plan to go to Texas for law school. haha i guess i moving down there with her so she can find me a hot, christian lawyer,...haha. you two are nuts! but it was a lot of fun last night. those boys on the other court really need to keep their hands to themselves...wow that was scary..haha..
oh! and the girls and i have decided to go and visit breanna and go to mamoth cave on June1-3... yay so much fun. so i cant wait for that. haha Jenna i want to hear all about Ireland on the way down there! i hope you had fun!
well i am not sure on what i am going to do today. but i am jsut happy that i dont have to work today! haha...well that is all for now!

Well i started my job at Goody's Clothing Store on Wednesday. It wasnt too bad. I am getting a lot of hours which is exciting...haha i have nothing else to do so it is okay. On Wed., we had 15% off for senior citizens ( 55 years or older). well we are suppose to ask the customers if they are questionable. so i am at the register and this lady comes up. i ask her politly if she qualified for the senior citizen discount. i mean this lady did look like she was at least 60. she looks at me which her face as red as a tomato and says in a hateful tone, "No, i am not that old yet thank you very much!!!" she was very crappy with me! i mean here i am trying to save her 15% off her total and she is yelling at me. goodness i am so sorry for asking. but if she was i dont think she should have lied. it isnt a big deal to be 55. wow people these days. so i made sure to be very careful on who i asked.
On Friday i subbed for a 5th grade class! it was sooo much fun! i am defenitly sticking with teaching. they were a pretty good group of kids. i only had to sub half day so it wasnt really bad at all. i had a teacher's aid in there also so she helped me control the class a little bit. i also got to experience the job of recess duty. it was that bad but it was just sooo windy! some of the kids in the class went to my church and road the church bus. so that was neat to see them. they were all asking me how old i was and when i told them this one kid said, "Really?! you look a lot younger than 18. we all thought you were 15." haha 15?!?! wow i didnt think i looked THAT young. haha. so it was a great experience. i cant wait to sub next week!
oh my! today at work was just wonderful. *rolling eyes*. you know i just now relized how MESSY the people in my town are! they are slobs! there was cloths all over the fitting room and all over my department (junior) and others. it was a complete mess! people were yanking cloths of hangers and then throwing them on the floor....right in front of me!?!? i couldnt believe it! grr...i love my job, haha but sometimes it is a pain in the butt!
On friday night i went to muncie and saw Troy with Erin and her sister Kim. it was fun. i almost got washed away on the way up there due to a storm...haha and of course erin thought it was funny. and ERin i do agree with Kim when she said that you are way to loud in the theater! 6 inch voices! werent you ever taught that in schooL?!? haha...Brad Pitt was very good looking in that movie! haha..it was fun!
well i got to go!
