hmm best friends :)

So my best friend from high school went to a college in Arkansas and is a good 4 hours away from me, SOOO it was her spring break this week, and she came to visit me!!!!!!!!!! She came on tuesday, and leaves tomorrow (so sad!) but its been an AMAZING few days! I’ve missed her sooooo stinkin much. Just having her back for a few days made me remember all the great times we used to have in high school and how much i miss them!! I wish we lived so much closer. Thats the one poopy thing about college, you have to leave behind some of those great people in your life (even tho you get so many more great people!) its hard to say goodbye to the ones who were there for you through so much and helped you get through so many life lessons. Gosh, i want her back! But i’m so thankful to still have her in my life and for fun visits like this even if they are so short!!!!

Back in the groove :(

So, spring break is officially over..and its the poo!!! But now we are on the downhill slide, and countin down the days until summer..woohoo!!!! Coming over a very relaxing, do nothing spring break, it took a few days for me to get back in the groove. But unfortunetly, with so many things approaching fastly, it did not take long at all before my stress level began to rise! But thankfully one of my best friends from high school, whose spring break is this week, came to visit and stay with me. I havent seen her in a long time and I missed her terribly, so having her with me for a few days is soooooo great! But with her here, and having to worry about all my school and I am teaching a Dicipleship Now weekend at Fielder Road Baptist, it seems as if everything is coming down fast.

I’m super excited about the Dnow this weekend. I’m teaching a group of 8th grade girls and I am so excited to have the opportunity to share the word of God with them and to possibly change their lives. It will be so amazing and I cant wait!!!! It will def be a AWESOME weekend!

SB ’09…almost gone!

Spring break has come and gone…and it makes me SOOOO sad!!!! It was defientely one of the best spring breaks EVER and I really really wish that it was not almost over. After spending the first part in Houston with my friends and sister (who is now engaged..WOOHOO!) it was really nice to come home to Telephone and just stay with my family for more than 24 hours and really have a chance to spend some time with my mom and daddy. I always seem to forget just how serene and quiet the country really is, and just how relaxing and peaceful it can make me feel.

The only one downside for me is allergies. Everyone says you can get them in the city and the country…but for me it just seems to be when I step out of my car when im ‘officially’ in the country. They drive me INSANE, but its always a good excuse to take some benedryl for a good nights rest haha! Yay for a amazing spring break, and yay for just being home! It was WONDERFUL!!!

defensive driving….

So unfortunetly i got a speeding ticket when i visited Austin recently, and now must pay the penalty of doing defensive driving. And believe me, that is NOT what i wanted to do on the last few days of my spring break, but it’s got to be done SO yay me! I found a comedy one online so i started it and even tho it’s totally and incredibly stupid, it is keeping me entertained a little bit more than the original one would have. and so it’s keeping me somewhat focused, even tho not really!! I keep dozin off, or ya know, watching real tv haha. PLUS i get to take a break whenever i want to. SO i dont have to finish it all in one sitting. I can do a few hours here and there or even some tomorrow (which i more than likely will do) and so my concentration doesnt have to be so focused on defensive driving. So here we go, now that i have taken a break to blog about defensive driving, im going to get back to actually trying to finish it haha

ahhh..spring break :)

for spring break i got to come to Houston for a few days to visit a friend and my sister, and it has been simply wonderful! We went to the Houston Rodeo and saw Keith Urban and he was literally so good in concert and I enjoyed it more than i really did think i would!! We just walked around and enjoyed getting dressed up in our cowgirl boots and dresses, it was definetly so much fun! Not only have I gotten to do that, but sleeping has been my top priority on spring break. And i have defeintly been sleeping as much as possible! Me and my friend Hannah just layed out by the pool today adn it was very relaxing and simply wonderful!

And tomorrow I get to go home for the rest of the break and I am SOOO excited! I get to be home for more than 24 hours and to see my family and all my friends i miss so much! I’m looking forward to it greatly!!

FINALLY, spring break!!!!!

so today is the OFFICIAL beginning of spring break!!! oh yessssssssss. im leaving later today to go to houston with my bestie, to see my other bestie and sister!!! I’m so excited about this week of full out relaxation!!!! no classes, work, homework! it’s going to be absolutely and simply wonderful!!!!! just knowing that i am half way done with my 2nd semester of my freshman year is like a super amazing feeling!!!! if only it was like…3/4 the way over with, would be even greater! But hey, its time to forget about school for 7 days and to truly enjoy my spring break!!!! sleep is my main focus this week, and i am so excited!!!! i almost forgot what that was, but i plan on reminding myself everyday by sleeping in ANNNND takin a nap yessss!

goodbye school, HELLOOOOOOO SPRING BREAK!!!!!

Oh sooooo close!

So it is friday, finally!!!! ANND spring break is literally right around the corner and oh my gosh I am SOO stinkin excitied!!! And to make it even better, my a&p lab practical grade got raised to a 90, WOOHOOO!!!! And the oh so wonderful rain, which has been pouring for a good 3 days, has made me extremely happy because I get to wear my rainboots and ahh, its so great!

And even though I have still been super stressed in Arlington, I get to go home tonight to see my momma and daddy! And just sleep in my bed and shower in my shower…oh how nice! It’s going to be very nice and I can already tell that its gonna be worth the drive, in 5 o’clock traffic, on a friday night, in the rain. Ahhh I’m so excited. It has been such a good day and I am so looking forward to rest, sleeeeping, and just hanging out with my family and friends over spring break. Trying to forget about school, even if only for a little while!

Guided Imagery

So today in our Intro class we did guided imagery, which I had never actually heard of so I was really interested to find out what it was all about. Going to class in my comfortable clothes was defientely somtehing I enjoyed, and since I had just found out my not so great chemistry grade, I was really stressing out. I really enjoyed guided imagery because it let me forget about what was going on in my mind and focus on the good things. I didnt fall asleep, but after the first half I didnt hear a word the lady said and was kind of off in my own little world. Not sure exactly where that was but it was somewhere where I was happy and focused on the good things in my life, not all the stressful, annoying things.

Guided imagery is defiently something I am interesting in about doing some more of in the future just to relieve stress and anxiety and to get my mind focused and where it should be on things, instead of continually stressing out over every little test grade, or even homework grade. I really enjoyed it and am glad that we got the opportunity to do it.

Is it Spring Break already!?!?!

So, one test is down and one more to go. And I’m stressin like crazy! I was so consumed with A&P that I totally put chemistry behind me and now I have a test in the morning. Ahhhhh!!!!! So, now that i lost a hour of sleep last night it is literally time to cram all this information into my head the day before the test. Woohooo!!!!

But on a good note, I hate a incredible morning at church!! Church is such a big part of my life and really does rejivunate me for the week. Something about just spending some quality time with my Lord puts a smile on my face and it makes me ready to tackle the oh so busy week ahead of me.

On Top of the World!

So, Thursday was my very first lab practical, and lets just say i was a nervous wreck! Me and my roomate studied like crazy, literally whenever we were free our heads were in our a&p lab book. I was sooo sick of looking at bones, joints, and other anatomy related objects but knew that to really do good i had to keep truckin. So, the day of my test arrived and I made it through it and I felt like I did a pretty good job, until we got emails from our teacher saying the class average was a 64%. Me and my roomate literally started to freak out! The lowest was a 46 and highest was a 86 and I just knew that I hadnt done near as good as what as I needed.

So Friday morning we went to our teachers room to get our grades, and what do you know, I had the highest grade in the class. I was seriously SOOOO incredibly excited! I called everyone in my family and was just on cloud 9 all day long. I studied extremely hard and it finally paid off. The feeling I felt was so great and amazing and I loved every thing about it. It was definetley the best day I had in a very long time, and hopefully I’ll have many more!
