Last blog

I can't believe the semester is ending. So much to do thought before break! Finals week is almost here, and I am getting sick :( Hopefully this cold goes away soon. I have spent the day studying and online shopping, so I'd say it was pretty good. I just finished watching the movie, Blackfish, which was a documentary on seaworld and the orcas. It was really interesting, but incredibly sad. This blog post is kind of all over the place and random but oh well. I hope everyone has a great break! :)

I’m so excited about the snow. Even though I’m not too fond of driving in it, I think it’s about time we get some. I hate when it’s warm around this time. It doesn’t feel like the holidays if it’s not cold and snowy. This weekend I’m going with my family up to White Top mountain to get our...

This weather is finally making it feel like winter. That sounds like a nice family tradition getting a tree, and I hope you have a great break!

Cruise

I am so excited for Christmas break because I will be going on a cruise with my boyfriend and his family. It's an 8 night cruise and we will being going to places like San Juan and St. Kitts. What a great way to end this semester! The crazy thing is though that the day we get back form the cruise, is the day we drive back to boone to start school the next day. After being in this snowy and rainy weather, the beach sounds really good right now!

23

This past weekend my brother came to boone with all of his friends to celebrate his birthday. I can't believe he is 23 and is already a teacher. I am glad he got to spend the weekend with me though, although it was crazy having three people sleep on my floor. His girlfriend and her sister also stayed with me. They both graduated from App last year, and I cant believe this year I will be the one graduating.

Break time

I am so happy that it is finally time to go home and get ready for Thanksgiving. I feel like everyone has been ready for break for awhile now. I am so excited to see my best friends from home who go to different schools. Its weird to think after Thanksgiving break, we will only have about 2 weeks left until Christmas break. When I came home last night for break I was so happy to see our Christmas tree up :) I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Michigan

I recently just got a facebook, mostly so I can keep in touch with my family in Michigan.  A lot of my cousins are already married and are starting to have kids and the pictures they post are adorable. I sware looking at baby pictures just puts you in a good mood. It’s hard going up there to visit them because of the distance, school, and work. Hopefully some of them will come down to visit during the holidays or I can make a trip up there after I graduate.

Cooking

I have always wanted to start cooking and be able to make a million dishes from scratch like my mom and dad, but I have yet to do it.  They always laugh at me because I get frustrated whenever I try and just don’t have the patience sometimes.  But this Thanksgiving I have made a goal to bring my own dish to Thanksgiving dinner. I have no idea what I am going to attempt to make, but if anyone has suggestions for anything easy and yummy let me know! :)

Christmas shopping

Its that time of season to start Christmas shopping for my family and friends. I love Christmas shopping because it is fun to personalize and pick out gifts for people you love.  The hardest to shop for though are for my brothers. Shopping for guys in general is just ridiculous. I will have to come up with something for them. I have a feeling Pinterest is going to help me a lot this year.

I don’t know why, but for the past few days I have felt exhausted. Normally after I wake up I am ready to start my day and I don’t really feel the need to take a nap. But it has been all I can do to stay awake in class the past few days. I have actually been nodding off in class and looking for...

I am having the same struggle. Sleep is much needed, but thankfully we are so close to getting a break!

Busy

I feel like I have a lot left to do for my applications to Grad school. I need to send my transcripts still and my GRE scores. This semester has proved to be very stressful, and it will be nice when I am home for Christmas break, and everything will be completed and out of my hands. I also have been busy working on a project, writing a paper, and completing assignments that are due next week. On the brightside all my observation horus are completed. I really want to take a nap right now but know that I really need to workout and study before I lose all my motivation.

Back together

I am so happy because my brother and his ex-grilfiend (who is now one of my best friends) have decided to get back together.  I am so jealous I am not home now, because he is bringing her to my parent's house for dinner tonight! Thankfully, next weekend they will both be coming to Boone to celebrate his birthday.  I am also trying to convinve my best friend from Greensboro to spend the weekend in boone too, since I havent been able to see her since school started.

Weekend

This past weekend was nice because my aunt and uncle came to Boone to visit me. They have made a tradition of visiting all their neices and nephews during their senoir year of college.  We went to Our Daily Bread for lunch on Saturday, then went shopping on King street.  They bought me groceries at walmart, then took me and my bofriend to Macadoes for drinks and dinner. I am so thankful that my family came up and spent the weekend with me. Family time is always needed :)

No matter how old I get I always miss home when I’m having a bad day (or in this case a bad week). I had such a crazy week and when it comes down to it, I just want to be with my momma! I know, I know, I’m twenty years old, and I should really not need my mom that much, but I’m so thankful for...

[hachenlv11]

I feel the same way! I can't wait for Thanksgiving break where I can be back with my mom and family and just get a break and enjoy some nice family time.

Last Weekend

This past weekend I went out with my boyfriend and his family to their mountain house. Their mountain house has an amzing view, and it is a nice place to just hang out with family and friends. We played cornhole, made lasagna, and looked up cruises that we are considering taking over Christmas break.  A cruise sounds amazing right now. I could really use some beach time, where I don't have to think about writing papers or taking tests.

Today I am registering for my last semester of undergrad. It’s such a weird feeling. I only have four classes left. That’s only twelve hours!!! I’ve never taken less than 15 hours so I’m pretty excited! And I won’t have Monday or Wednesday classes next semester! Can you say long weekend? But I...

[hachenlv11]

I am so jealous of your schedule! No Monday and Wednesday classes? That sounds amazing

[hachenlv11]

Next semester

So I register for classes today and I am so upset that I will have more 8 am classes :( Oh well, at least I will be done with my classes at an early time. I need to pick two p.e. classes and I can't decide. I already took yoga one semster, and I really wanted to take aerobics this semester but I cant because the times dont work for my schedule. I am considering volleyball, which sounds pretty fun. I cant blieve I waited this long to pick the rest of my classes, great.

Classes

I hate when I study for something, and feel like I am ready to take the test...then I take the test and totally blank. This semester has been one of the hardest semesters I have had, and I feel like I always have multiple things due on the same day.  I really feel like I need another break...Atleast this weekend my aunt and uncle are coming to visit me! I am so ecited to spend the day with them in Boone.
