I have noticed that it has been a long time since i have been here, so i guess i better update you! Classes have started again, the only one that i am really having trouble with is chemistry. My teacher talks to fast and he brags how he knows everything...he sickens me. As i am writing i realize that i really dont have much to say today, i need to get ready for prob and stat, my teacher smells so bad. He lifts his arms up and down which creates a wave of foulness no one should ever be subjected to. he stinks. Also, i can hardly understand anything he says, the only way i can is because he types up the notes, gives them to us, and then reads directly from them for the hour and 15 mins. If i didnt have those notes i dont know what i would do. i guess he made those notes knowing that his english sucks. Ok well got to go!

Today Days was not on due to the US open so it leaves me with some extra time. So i have decided that Souper Salad gets the craziest customers. These two girls came in and told me that something was really wrong with the pudding. I looked down at their table and had spread the bowl of pudding all over the table. I had to explain to them that the black spots were only oreo crumbs. SIlly people! Also, this couple told me that i was the best server they ever had and that they really appreciated that i was their server, so she goes "I left you some change and a piece of gum!" Yup she did, a piece of gum and two quarters. nice. I have to work tonight and i really dont want to. The tornado warnings just started out of no where, it hasnt even been raining. SO that means we wont have many people in tonight.

My microeconomics for the school is going well. Only one more week left, but a lot of work to complete. We didnt have any hw this week so all of it is due this monday. I work tonight, going to timmys sat and then the baseball game on sunday. I guess i have time to do it now but...i will find time later. Oh and i think i am doing a good job finding my way around campus! Its nice to have a 30 min break because then i get to walk around and figure out where things are. I ate lunch after class thursday at the student center, i had a cheeseburger and fries before the C-base started. I just sat there by myself and looked around. I didnt feel silly because there was lots of people by theirselves too. So the C-base was just awful. I think i failed every section. I never want to take it again, so i am hoping that i passed it all on luck. And its not like u can sit down and study for it because it is so random and so many different things. I could study africa more i suppose, because i did not know which country was where. I am afraid to get the results back!

Oh and i guess i should mention how HORRIBLE AND HOW SAD it is that Brit is not coming to see us! It was the one thing i was soooo excited about! AND now i dont get to see her. I am just mad. July 19th is going to be a very sad day. Ok well iam going to try to do something productive! goodbye!

Psychology is finally over, it went by so fast! I am glad that i took the class and got it over with. I get one week off and then i start microeconomics in the school curriculum. fun i know.

The taste of clayton was today, i think i ate too much. i had some salad, a chicken wrap, a pepsi, a lemonade, ice cream, cheesecake, oh and a chicken kabob. i think thats it! So its a good thing kim and i are planning to go walking again tomorrow. Oh which reminds me...today kim and i went to ofallon church, and whenever we fill out visitor cards we tend to think its funny to check different areas on the cards such as "Do you want a minister to call" "Would you like to help out serving teens" Stuff like that. Kimberly checked the teen ministry on mine, and i just ended up tearing hers in half. I hope they dont think she was angry. it was funny, i suppose you wouldve had to of been there.

Chad fished hooked me when i was yawning. i did not think it was funny. He laughed.

OH i also ate some chips and dip at the Taste. I better run tomorrow! OK well im going to go, goodbye!

So this morning kim and i decided to go to creve couer lake and walk around. We got there at 10:00am and began the path. If we only knew exactly what we were in for,im not sure that i can say we would still do it. The trail seemed never ending. We got past this bridge and came to the point where it seemed to us a new trail started. We proceeded to go down it but we were stopped by this man running who informed us that if we continued down the path we were on our way to a construction sight. I guess we should have continued to follow the yellow line. So we are walking and walking, cramping, sweating and walking. This couple on the bikes passed us 3 times! "Bikes on your left (ding ding goes his bell)." We finally get back to the car, our legs are burning! So remember we got there at 10:00...we now look at the clock and its 12:20! we just spent over 2 hours walking! Im not sure if we will ever do that again. I was seriously exhausted for the rest of the day. But then i had to go to good ole souper salad to work. I made 36 dollars whoo hoo. Im still in search for a job, maybe i will go to CPK. I just know that i need to be somewhere where i make more then 36 dollars.

So my psychology class im in right now is very interesting, but it is so long. Its from 9:00 to 12:45 monday through thursday. It feels never ending. I have 2 more weeks of that, then i get a week off, and then i start econmics in the school curriculum at umsl, which is 8am-12. I dont know how i am going to do that. Luckily jennifer will be home so she can help me out. i think it might be difficult! Im not the best at math and im thinking economics is going to be math centered!

Oh and do u like the new pink? I Do!!!!!!!! OH and did you guys here about poor brit running off stage crying!!! She must come home! I heard she is on the verge of a mental breakdown. she better pull herself together because i am looking forward to my 12th row seats! Ok well i am out!

I cant find a job! its very frusterating! i really need to start making some money. Other then the constant search for a job nothing much is going on. Oh today is wednesday and that means the OC but its over till fall, how sad!

What I will not miss about Lizo

2. Community Bathroom
a. The random smells
1. The girl nearest to the bathroom who decided to throw her trash away in the bathroom trash can, so the whole bathroom can smell like nachos or whatever her dinner may be
b. People who dont know how to use the small trashcans
c. Taking a shower and noticing that it appears someone took out their weave and left it there
d. Taking a shower and getting a bad wiff.
e. Sticky sandals
3. "Anybody who's anybody will come to the Lizo meetings"

What I will miss about Murray

1. The cowboys
2. GROW
3. Using the credit card and having the bill shipped hours away
4. Justifying going out to eat
5. Cracker Barrel
6. Dumplins
7. Taco Bell, McD, BK, Applebees, ect....
8. Going out
9. Everyone i have met
10. Seeing Theresa and Abby about everyday (sourcream fights, scrabble, eating (common theme), and so much more...)

I really enjoyed reading Jennifers letters, so i think i will do the same, it looks like fun.

Dear Dr. Bolin: you saw the tears in my eyes when i read the wrong chapter for the quiz, why didnt u give me sympathy points?

Dear Dr. Umar: I know you are a nice man, why do you feel you have to yell the lecture at us? It startles me.

Dear Girl Next door: The creaking of the bed makes me uneasy. Will you please stop. At least you are not my roommate.

Dear Puerto Rico: Can I have my sister back now?

Dear STLCC: Why do I have to be readmitted? That is silly.


Okay that is enough.....I have a question, do i have to tell Murray Im not coming back??? Like do i formally have to unenroll? i would think by not registering for classes they would know, but i heard that i might have to. I dont know! So today was take ur "little sister" to school day. I had three middle school girls in my history class today. One of the girls insisted on taking notes, it was cute! I looked over and she had more details then i had. I wanted to ask her if i could have her notes. Then i caught her poking at the wall, i asked her what in the world she was doing. She responded with, "I never touched a college wall before!" She is a funny girl. Oh and i went to the murray farm today. I never realized that horses kind of frighten me, i did brush one though. I also saw some soon to be dairy cows, they just havent given birth yet so they were just plain ole cows. Does everyone know what a hefer is? I asked and the little sisters acted like I was dumb! I just dont know that much about cows. But after today, i can say I know a lot more! Well that is it for now!

So this story goes out to Jennifer
So remember when we made chili together and i just added everything on the counter, thinking it was normal to add 7 cans of beans? Well at Winslow they are advertising their new chili, "Chilli with beans!" No one else may find the humor in it, but hopefully you will!

I cant wait till summer time, there is just so much i want to accomplish! Anyway I am going to go try to read some chapters of astronomy!

I think these things are so funny, though i must admit that a couple of these I cant relate too... Though the Highschool, Hoosier, and Humidity ones seems so true.

...I am trying to avoid studying

I feel so much better that i am now ready for spring break! I keep on trying to get myself ready to go back but its hard. I am just now starting to have fun and relax. I think i am going to go through puppy withdrawal...the little ones have been following me around and sleeping with me all the time.
Anyway I went to the doctors yesterday and he said that all the tests for hepatitis came back negative. It was only then that my dad and chad admitted that they were scared. And here i was the whole time thinking nothing of it. Grandma Reedy made me laugh today, she said that while I was sick that she prayed and prayed, and now that i am better, I have to repay her. That is her way of saying that she wants to go out to lunch.
Yesterday I went clothes shopping for the first time in a long time (I love it when pa wins at the boat!) and bought a pink purse, a pink shirt, and some pink pants! Of course not to wear all at the same time....but i was in a pink mood. Oh and i bought two pairs of white flip flops which always makes me happy. I didnt even have to search for my size, they were just sitting right there! I am keeping a pair up at home in case that Boo Boo decides to eat my sandals again... Well i suppose i will go call that grandma and see what she is doing, though i know if i do take her out she will just want to know what theresee is doing and why jennifer hasnt called her lately...anyways goodbye

After having a horrible headache, throwing up constantly, getting a shot in my butt, blood taken from me more times then i can count, going to the hospital, getting a spinal tap done, having an iv in my arm for the weekend, and getting yelled at for not eating jello....i am doing much better. Right now i am just waiting to go to the doctor on friday to find out what is wrong with me because i really am confused about the whole thing. I am sick of people taking my blood, and i figure if i am low in wbc and rbcs that i should keep all of them that i have.

Anyway i am really bored sitting here at home. There is nothing to do except watch tv and lay down, which usually would be just fine. But i have been doing that for far too long now. well i am going to go lay down again i guess.......

I was taking out the trash today and on my way back the cleaning lady was standing in the hall way. She is a really nice old lady, she was asking me how i was doing, i said fine, and i go and how are you...just expecting fine thank you. Instead she said it has been a rough month and she starts crying. It turned awkward. Her 81 year old mother just died monday and she hasnt cried about it yet. So there I was standing in the hallway with this lady. i didnt know what to say...Then another girl walked into the hallway who knew the cleaning lady better then me and she sort of saved the situation. I feel bad for her.

Anyway it is pretty day today...maybe I will clean up my room and pack!

The underlying preventable causes of death were, in order: tobacco, poor diet and physical inactivity, alcohol, microbial agents, toxic agents, motor vehicles, firearms, sexual behavior and illegal drug use. Together, these accounted for about half of all 2.4 million U.S. deaths in 2000.

Isn't that sad??? I read that today and it makes me sick that people smoke or eat themselves to death.

''After all, wisdom is knowing what to do next. Virtue is doing it,'' said editorial authors Drs. J. Michael McGinnis and William Foege.

I like that quote.

Anyways I just got back from exercising and now i am on a fitness kick. It feels so good after exercising it makes me wonder why I dont do it more often. It really puts you in a good mood. Unless of course you embarrass yourself trying to workout your calves because you dont know what your doing....I know im not going to try that machine for a long time.

Even though i am just going home for spring break, i am really looking forward to it. I really want to get things with umsl takin care of, go out with kim, cook with chad, play with the pups! Maybe i will even take time to visit those of you i havent seen in awhile! Well i am going to try to accomplish some things!

I have decided that i really enjoy reading everyone elses blogs...sooo everyone should enjoy reading mine! The only thing i have to say for the moment is that I am really looking forward to the summer time. I get to see Brit up close at concert. Up close meaning only 12 rows from the stage! I read a review of her concert and the guy complained that she moaned throughout it all...which i dont really care about, i just want to see her. And i dont care that i am 20 and i get excited to see Britney...Anyway there really isnt much to say right now...must study....
