VERY VERY PuMpEd!!!

This morning I could barely wait to get outta bed I was sooo excited and relieved all at the same time. My dad finally has a JOB!!! WHOOOO HOOOOO I found out last night during one of my night classes and I could barely contain myself. He will begin working at Lee's Sports as an assistant sales rep. Hopefully he'll move up the ladder quickly! Last night I had my first night class that lasted from 6:30 pm to 9:50 pm and he got out at 9:43pm!! It was awful! Its a alcohol and addiction pysch class which sounds great, but it was terrible. The teacher lectured for an hour and 20 mins and then we watched an addiction video for 2 hours and then class was over. I'm not sure, but I don't know many people who can sit in a room for 3 hours and 20 mins and not a say word!!!!!! This morning I have to go work for one of my ex-teachers Mrs. Cockerill. I've had her every semester until now since I've been at IC. She moved into a new office and building on campus so she asked if I could come and help file some stuff for her. Of course, I couldn't say NO!! (I think I get that quality from my mother) Today I have class from noon til 4, then playing 9 holes, then working out, and then I believe me and a few friends are going to head to downtown J-ville for a few drinks.
Today I'm not throwing out a quote, but a piece of info. One of my former teammates, Kristin, was in a car accident 2 days ago. The person who hit her died, but she is in stable condition now. She has a shattered femur and ankle in one of her legs. She's had surgery and they think everything will be ok!! Keep her in your thoughts!

HUMP Day!

It's finally Wednesday and we are about to jump over the "hump" of the week. Yesterday was the 1st day of classes and nothing really exciting there. I already had homework in the two classes I had yesterday and along with the homework came a fever blister! I guess seeing all the projects that are due throughout this semester was a little overwhelming. So I had to exercise it all off last night. One of my teachers, Amy, and I took a 2 mile walk. It was nice catching up with her again and just talking about life. For those of you who don't know, Amy is the teacher who I kept in contact with over the summer. Today is my first day of my pyschology night class. NOT EXCITED ABOUT IT! The class starts at 6:30pm and ends at 9:50pm. I have no clue what I'm going to do for that long!! Anyways... in 3 days we have our first golf tourney here at school. I can't wait to see my mom and dad!! Off to shower and get ready for my classes this afternoon and this evening.

Back to School

Today is the first day of classes! It is so hard to believe that in 4 months I'll be student teaching and in 9 I'll be a part of the "real world"!!! I don't have class til noon everday of the week. Most of would be pumped to have this schedule but not me. I'm so much more of a morning person. So I've promised to get myself up at 7:45 am each day and begin working out at 8. So far, so good! I can't wait to see all the professors and fellow classmates. Tonight I think I'm going to grill out. Gotta use up some of the meat Mom and Dad sent with me! There is not much going on today other than class. Yesterday I had a basketball meeting. I was excited to see all the girls and the meeting ended up being more a catching up session with everyone. It seems that everyone is pretty excited about the upcoming season.

Exciting Weekend

Yesterday was a great day! I woke up way too early but that's alright. Yesterday morning I ran some errands in Jacksonville and then decided to stop in on the IC girls soccer game. There I saw a few of my friends who hadn't seen all summer long. It's so nice to catch up with everyone. The token question always seems to be "How was your summer?". At about 3 pm Joe and Fatty made their way to my house. Andy, Mere, Joe, Ash, and Me all sat around in our living room listening to music, enjoying a few beverages, and catching up. It was so great to see them and they are sooooo happy! They got 5 sets of wine glasses from their wedding and couldn't take one of them back. So guess who got it? ME. Joe said it was my early birthday present! I hope he wasn't that serious! At about 5:30 all five of us went out to dinner at CR's. A little dive diner with great greasy burgers and 1.75 beer! After CR's, we went to the Toad for a mixed drink or two and then headed to one our other friend's house. At about 11, I was pooped and so were they. So they headed home and I hit the sack. Today should be an exciting day. It's a friend of mine's birthday today. They are having a tequilla themed birthday party! Who knows how crazy that'll get. I think Renae may make a trip to my house and then we will head to that party. Tiff may even come up too!! Well that's all for today. I hope my mom, Heather, and friends had a great time at the concert last night. They went to see The Boss himself. From the voicemails, it sounded like a good good time.
Today's quote was given to me by Heather: Life is a coin. You can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.

Just Another Friday

Today I woke up bright and early to get up for a wonderful golf practice. Nothing too exciting there. We had to play 9 holes and chip and putt. I shot a 40, which I am not extremely happy with. This afternoon I am reorganzing for the upcoming school year. Today is campus is crazy. The incoming freshmen and transfer students are all moving in. Tomorrow and Sunday most of the returning students will be coming back. I can't wait to see so many familiar faces. Tonight I believe Andy and I are going out to dinner. He finally has a free night away from all the football meetings. This weekend will be exciting with lots of celebrating of the new school year. I think even the newly married Joe and Fatty may make an appearance and stay at my house tomorrow night!
Today's quote is from John Ray: Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

BORED BORED BORED

Well I have officially moved back to school for the year and right now I'm bored stiff!!! My days usually consist of getting up for golf practice, coming home after 5 hours of golf to eat and lay down, then off to Family Video for another movie! I can't wait til everyone gets back on Saturday. Our first day of classes begin on Tuesday and I couldn't be more ready. It is hard to believe that in 9 months I'll be in the real world trying to find a job. Tonight my boyfriend, Andy, is coming over after his football meeting to watch one of the four movies I rented today. And since this is my first blog, I decided that I want to leave a random quote at the end of each post.
So here goes the first one, Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
