Well school is FINALLY over! It is sad though...i mean i cant just walk across the hall to talk to my friends! but I am not missing the classes or the homework! this will be a nice break! Even though the first couple of days have been kind of boring because i have nothing really important to do. I did clean my room which really needed it! it was so hard to find a place for all of that stuff to go! oh well..
I start my job at Goody's tomorrow...that will give me something to do! I also applied to sub. I have had to turn down 3 offers because i have to work tomorrow at goody's! grr...that really stinks! oh well hopefully i will get to sub a couple of times this year! that would be really exciting for me!:)
I did pretty well on my grades this semester! i got 3 a's 1 b+ and 1 c+ in my stupid math class! thank goodness that is over! that is one class i will NEVER miss! at least i dont have to take it again! haha.. that is a relief! Next year hopefully wont be very bad. Unfortunalty i have all my classes with the exception of one with Breanna...haha just kidding breanna...i heart you! that will be interesting! actually jenna, erin, amanda m, brandy, breanna, and i have a lot of classes together! that should be fun and interesting...haha...fun times fun times.
well breanna and jenna are complaining to me bc i have not updated my blog in a while! haha well are you girls happy now...and they want me to write something about them...haha...so jenna and breanna and i are also trying to figure out when we are going to all get together and go to mammoth cave! yay that is going to be exciting! except it is hard trying to find a time! we are all pretty busy this summer! and since jenna had to go and get a job we cant go in june or july! goodness she messes up everything! haha just kidding jenna! i cant wait until august! i am soo excited to see kenny chesney and rascal flatts! so much fun!! yay! and i promise i wont ditch you for chicago! haha even though you have been pretty mean to me! haha and i bet you cant wait to go to breanna's house and see the deer! haha then breanna and i can laugh at you just like we did last time! haha jk jenna! but breanna you and jenna are not allowed to ride in the same car together....i dont think the other passengers could handle that...hahaha...just kidding you two!

Now this section is devoted to my friend from across the hall...Breanna. Now she is not your average person...she is special in her own little way...haha...I mean she comes up with the strangest things to say. Sometimes I worry about this girl..i mean she did think that we had an African American President buring the Civil War...wow....I mean she wants to be an elementary teacher??! those poor children she may be teaching someday...ahhh...and someday soon! wow...but all of us girls on 3R do love her through all of her flaws...she does on the other hand have a very cute baby! Eden is soo precious...now how she got Breanna as her birthmom i still havent figured out...haha just kidding Breanna! Eden is soo adorable though! I can't wait to met her this summer..aww..I think it was pick on Breanna night Sunday night...Jenna, Amanda M., Erin and I were having a blast with Breanna....and so was Bre's boyfriend Aaron...haha he has a good sense of humor. we all praying for him since he has to spend a lot of time with Breanna on a plane... we told him to bring ear plugs and a lot of sleeping medicine. We all agree that he deserved some sort of award for having to put up with Breanna...but then he brought up a good point...that we have to live with her! maybe we all deserve some sort of an award....hmmm...haha...Breanna what are we going to do next year without you to pick on at the dorms? hmm...i guess it will be jenna! But even though you can be out there sometimes, we all love you...and we are soo glad that you came here 2nd semester...haha..you can be a nut sometimes though!! ...always remember SAT's and STDs...oh my fun times!!! You are going to have to come and visit us next year! yay.....

I read this poem from Breanna's blog and like Jenna I thought I should publish it. It is really good so sorry but I stole your idea Breanna...hehe...but seriously I am going to miss all of you guys! This year has been a great experience...so many memories! haha...you guys are the greatest! Even though I do want to go home and get away from school, I am going to miss you guys this summer! we are going to have to get together this summer guys! So here it is:
In days we will reluctantly give our hugs and, fighting the tears, say goodbye to people who were once just names on a sheet of paper to return to people that we hugged and fought tears to say goodbye to before we ever left.
We will leave our best friends to return to our best friends. We will go back to the places we came from and go back to the same things we did last summer and every summer before that. We will come into town on the same familiar road, and even though it has been months, it will seem like only yesterday.
As you walk into your old bedroom, every emotion will pass through you as you reflect on the way your life has changed and the person you have become. You suddenly realize that the things that were most important to you a year ago don't seem to matter so much anymore, and the things you hold highest now, no one at home will completely understand. The memories and the stories from school won't mean anything to anyone at home and yet you resent them for that, that they can't share that happiness with you.
Who will you call first? What will you do your first weekend home with your friends? How long before you actually start missing people barging in without calling or knocking? Who will get pizza at three in the morning with you now? How long until you adjust to sleeping alone in a room again?
Then you start to realize how much things have changed, and you realize the hardest part of college is balancing the two completely different worlds you now live in, trying desperately to hold on to everything all the while trying to figure out what you have to leave behind. In the matter of one day's travelling time, we will leave our world of living next door to our best friends, walking across campus to eat, instant messenger, 8:00am classes, and the perpetual procrastination to a world that will seem foreign to us despite the fact that we lived in it for eighteen years.
But it is different now. We now know the meaning of true friendship. We know who we have kept in touch with over the past year and who we hold dearest in our hearts. We've left our high school world to deal with the real world. We've had our hearts broken, we've fallen in love we've helped our best friends overcome depression, stress and death, and we've stayed up all night on the phone just to talk to a friend in need.There have been times we've felt so helpless being hours away from home when we know our families needed us, and there are times we know we have made a difference.
One month from now we will leave. One month from now we take down our pictures, and pack up our clothes. No more going next door to do nothing for hours on end. We will leave our friends whose random email and phone calls will bring us to laughter and tears this summer. We will take our memories and dreams and put them away for now, saving them for our return to this world.
One month from now we will arrive. We will unpack our bags and have dinner with our families. We will drive over to our best friend's house and do nothing for hours on end We will return to the same friends whose random emails and phone calls have brought us to laughter and tears over the year. We will unpack old dreams and memories that have been put away for the past year.
In one month we will dig deep inside to find the strength and conviction to adjust to change and still keep each other close. And somehow, in some way, we will find our place between these two completely different worlds.

Well it has been a while since i have updated my blog so i decided i better do that soon. The past couple of days i have been EXTREMLY busy! On tuesday night I spent 5 hours in the library working on my Biology project with my group. We were there from 6 until 11. Then I had to finish up our powerpoint which took me until 1...so that was fun. But our presentation went well. I have two tests today and one is a final. I think i will be okay though because my teacher said that our final will be the easiest test we have taken all year. that's good.
Last night we had a desk staff meeting. We basically talked about our theme and what we were going to put on the bullentin boards. I am doing a roommate advice/famous movie duos. So that should be fun....haha sorry Erin you should have raised your hand faster...nerd...
John got kicked off of American Idol...it was great! haha i mean i think he is a good singer, but i just dont think he is the "american idol". so now it is down to the top 5 and i am nervous...i know jasmine will probably be kicked off soon but its okay she did good! haha...i cant believe we have been watching this show since the beginning girls! haha wow we have WAY to much time on our hands sometimes! oh well...what are we going to do this summer..i mean it is just not the same not watching american idol in Jenna's room...:( oh well... there is always next year! hahaha....
Well I better get to class and take my test! Have a good day everyone :)

See I decided to stay up until 2:30 in the morning talking with my roomie Sarah and my friend Sarasue who was calling me and then would text message me...what a strange girl! haha jk sara! Then I had to get up at 6:15 for classes...wow was that a mistake...i did not think i was going to make it! so when i came back from my classes i went back to sleep until like 2:30. When my mom came and picked me up I thought i was going to faint walking down the stairs..but i made it! When I got home i went back to sleep got up to eat then fell back to sleep until 9:30 Saturday morning. I was starting to feel a little bit better. I cleaned my room all day on Saturday..boy did it need it!...Then that night I went to help out at the Spring Teen Banquet for my church. They had a carnival and I helped Susan run the ballon dart. It was a lot of fun. Then came Sunday...when i woke up i noticed i had this gross stuff in my eye. eww. and i was okay during church and stuff and then i came back to ball state and it got worse! It was awful! i looked like i had a black eye bc it was swelling really bad! so i am going to go to the doctor today! yay hopefully it will get better...it is starting to look like pink eye! this really stinks! I didnt go to my first two classes this morning bc when I woke up my eye was glued shut! it was awful! ahh..hah anyways enought with that.
I checked my schedual for next fall...and well i got all of my classes except my musiced class! I really need that too...hmmm maybe some people will decide to drop it over the summer. So I had to sign up for another class...so i signed up for Aerobics class...well i still dont have enough credits bc my advisor told me i need to have the full 18 credit hours next semester...and right now i only have 16...so I am looking for another class. My thursdays look awful! i go from 10-5 with now breaks! it is going to stink! oh well i guess i will just have to deal with it...but on the bright side is school is almost over! only 1 more week of classes and 1 more week on finals! yay! i am sooo excited! i can not wait until this summer except the whole working thing...haha oh well...
sara sue...are you happy now? goodness you have no room to talk...you hardly ever update your blog. and i dont think you should be making fun on my eye...haha i know i know it looks funny but still! and you too erin! i am going to laugh if you get it! haha....

On the way back upstairs, Erin ripped the hem of Amanda M.'s pants...it was soo funny! we all were laughing soo hard that people were looking out of their doorways to see what was going on! haha tons of fun! Then Erin, Amanda M, and I went to Old Navy. On the shuttle bus Erin expressed her true feeling about the bus driver...that she wanted to shove the bus driver out of the bus and run over her...one of the guys that sat nexted to Amanda M. looked at me and gave me this "oh my goodness" look...haha fun times on the shuttle bus. Then we went to the mall and bought a bag from Old Navy and looked for some fake hair for Erin...but all we found was this ugly looking hair at Claires...we had no luck. The ride back to the shuttle bus was interesting too..Erin and I were both embarressed to be seen with Amanda M...she can be a strange girl sometimes. but we all still love her!
Today i found out that I got 73/75 on my Math test! I was sooo excited!! yay that made my day, and then i got an A on my Bio test...this was such a good day! yay...haha...Well we had a bachelorette party for our RA who is getting married. so exciting!

We saw soo many nice houses and where the president of Ball States lives...can we say nice?!?! wow! haha...during the walk I was experiencing some pains...oh my...haha that was interesting! hahah jenna, then Jenna and I got seperated from Erin and Sarah. so we walked our own way back to campus. good times.
