Last week flew by and this week is already well on its way and I'm only writing this now. Hahah I guess I thought I would try to get them written on weekends, but oh well. Nothing worth mentioning really happened last week I don't think. I studied for a Spanish test that I was supposed to have on Friday. I was very ready for it on Friday and it turned out we didn't have it until yesterday...unfortunately yesterday turned out to be one of those days where you can't think. I mean hardcore-forget-an-entire-verb-tense can't think. I hate those days because if I had taken the test on Friday when I was well prepared and not had the weekend to sit around on it I would have done fine. Well, I got a D on my history test from the previous monday and this week has just been going downhill since.

Today I took my military science midterm and, even though it was open book, it was quite an unfair assessment of anything at all. We were told we could expect to see questions pertaining to what we had gone over so far on the syllabus. Now silly me, I guess having been told that I thought that's actually what would be on the test, but instead I found a question that pertained to a chapter in the book which we had not even briefly mentioned. Of course expecting to find an answer to this question in one of the chapters we actually HAD covered I proceeded to "waste" time looking through every inch of those chapters for the answers to this question....of course fruitlessly. That really made my day go from OK to...oh...I don't know...I want to kill the world or something like that. It's one thing if an exam is difficult and a totally different thing if an exam is just plain unfair. }:-( <--- angry face

SIGH

I have one more test to get through this week on Thursday and then Friday evening I fly down to Kentucky to spend some much needed time with Mike. I'm ready for a change of pace and direction in my life. I'm ready to be done with school. I'm ready to just get out there and live and I'm ready, I'm so ready, to finally be with my husband for more than just a week or two at a time. And I guess I will admit that I despise the people that can eat dinner every night with their love, hug them.. not the people I guess, but the fact that I can't. I despise trying to explain to my professor why I won't be there one day because I haven't seen Mike for weeks and I just need to be with him on his short visit. I despise that I don't live around other military wives who understand this and that nobody else can possibly ever understand. I HATE IT.

Ok, I think I should go
My appologies, this has been a bad week so far :-\

This weekend was a wonderful weekend. Mike came up to visit me and spend Valentine's Day with me. He bought me a beautiful bouquet of white roses and we had dinner and went to see "Gran Torino" on Saturday evening. On Sunday we went down to the Grove City outlets and bought a bunch of baby clothes which was fun and exciting! We also put some stuff on our registry at Babies R' Us. Everything about this weekend was just wonderful and I'm so happy I could spend it with him. It's funny how such a short time with him reminds me so much of how empty my life is when he is not with me. Saying goodbye to him at the airport again was no easier than it ever is either, even though I will see him again in about 11 days. It doesn't matter, I miss him every minute anyway. He is my best friend.

Last week was not that exciting. I took my geology test on Tuesday and got my test results back from my geography test on Thursday. I did really well on it actually so I am pleased. Should get my geology test results tomorrow. Casey and I taught lab on Thursday and I guess it went ok. I felt a little aggitated because it seemed like we were going too fast and throwing out too much information and I felt as though I wasn't able to contribute as much as I would have liked to it. Maybe some of that has to do with hormones, I don't know. I skipped classes on Friday (I know, I'm bad) because Mike was coming that morning so I decided I didn't want to attend. Unfortunately I had to go to classes today because I had a test and a quiz and so we had to spend the day in Edinboro. I don't think I did very well on either the test or the quiz but I don't care because my weekend was so wonderful :)

Well, I really should go eat some dinner because I am hungry and that means the baby is hungry too. I think it will be leftover roast from yesterday's meal. Yummmm

Another week down..

Nothing that exciting happened this week. I had my first test of the semester which I think I did alright on. I have another one coming up on Tuesday and then another next Monday so I guess I'm happy they aren't all clustered together like they usually are. I actually took some time to read a book just for pleasure for the first time in a long time! I really enjoyed it a lot. Usually I don't have time to do that kind of thing, and actually I probably should be doing other things with my time right now...but oh well.

I booked my plane tickets for spring break so that's good. Definitely looking forward to next weekend! I will get to spend Valentine's Day with Mike for the first time since 2006. Very excited about that and trying to come up with a good place to eat out so I can make reservations. The baby is starting to show a pattern of wakefulness now I guess. Usually it's after meals and in the evening around 7 or 8. He really kicks around a lot some evenings right as I'm going to bed. He better not make a habit of it though because when he gets a little bigger it may be harder for me to ignore and actually go to sleep hah. I can't help but like it though :) I called dad and Grandma and Grandpa the other night to let them know it's a boy and they seemed pretty excited. Of course they want to know when I can come down and visit them which I keep having to tell them won't be till this summer. That's true though, with school and everything it makes it hard to actually have time to do anything.

Yesterday I spent the day with Sarah looking into florist shops for her and Frank's wedding this July. I ordered the dress she wants us to wear and then I thought maybe I should have ordered it a size larger than my normal size cause I don't know what size I will be 2 months after the baby comes.. SIGH. It's a very pretty dress though. Well, I guess not much has really happened to me lately so that's about all I have to write.

Well, it's finally the weekend and I am spitting out another blog like I promised. This week has been...more exciting than others I guess heheh.

Last weekend I bought a set with one of those infant swings, a stroller and a pack n' play for the baby when he comes. I finally put all that stuff together and it is all sitting in the living room so I think I need to move it upstairs cause it takes up all the space. Mom is thinking about a baby shower possibly for May.

I'm settled into my classes pretty well. I have a class on the geology of our national parks and I absolutely love it! Now every time I look at a picture of a rockface in Arizona or Utah I think stratigraphy... I know, I'm a nerd. I also have an environmental issues class that I am undecided about right now. It is sometimes interesting and sometimes extremely boring. Dr. Lawrence, who teaches it, is a really good professor and I had him for one of his other environmental geography classes which I really enjoyed. This one is more geared toward the philosophical/ethical side of environmental issues. It's ok, but I'm not a big fan of studying everybody's ethics. I had to teach lab for ROTC on Thursday. It went ok, but I am really not the public speaker type and I did most of the preparation and teaching even though I had someone who was supposed to help out.

Well, on Wednesday we had some pretty bad lake effect snow and driving home from school I ended up sliding into a ditch. Hahah that was fun. Thankfully I was not going fast and the ditch was filled with snow so there was no real impact of any sort. I had to go to a house and ask to see a phone book so I could call a tow truck to get the truck out. The first business I called the guy was all pissed off and told me he couldn't help me and hung up. I was like...wha..? hahah. Apparently he doesn't like business cause he should have been getting some pretty darn good business that day considering the road conditions. So I called someone else and they were really nice and came out right away. Cost a pretty penny but I couldn't very well sit in a ditch for the rest of the day so it had to be done. Next time I will not be nice and get over towards the edge for oncoming cars...pshhhttt. You would think that people living in an area with bad winter conditions would learn how to drive accordingly, but you would be wrong if you thought that cause I swear the people around here are some of the worst drivers I've ever seen. It pisses me off on an all too regular basis.

As if that weren't enough, I also got somewhat bogged down in the driveway the other night because in the process of trying to pack some of the snow down so mom could get her truck in my wheel went over the edge of the driveway. Since my tires suck, a small bump like that was enough to make them spin so I had to dig myself out to get back on track. SIGH. I know you all are thinking what the heck, you drive a Toyota Tundra...lol. If I had good snow tires it wouldn't have happened though....so there. Bsllllllshdshhh!

Trying to decide what to do with myself this weekend. On that note, I think I will go for now.

P.S. Steelers are going to get crushed tomorrow...CRUSHED!

Well...I was playing around on facebook and I found Beth's blog posted on her account so I went to it and realized it was a blogger blog and I thought to myself: I think I have one of those. So I did a little searching and sure enough, there it was. Created back in 2003 because Sarah got me started on blogging...well sort of. I had just forgotten about it altogether and so it's really been a step back in time looking at the two blogs I wrote when I was in highschool. HAHAH so funny! I can't believe how much has changed since then! So now I am hoping to try and at least write one blog per week because I am realizing that 6 years from now I am going to look back at this again and be like wow...that is so crazy.

So this will be my blog. I guess it's really more for my benefit in the years to come than anything else, but I've also stated that it's for family and friends to keep up to date with my life...not that it is really all that exciting. So, enjoy!

Well, it's certainly been a while since I've paid any heed to this old thing! Yeah, I think currently I have like four blogs on account of me forgetting passwords and user names for all of them and creating new ones, which I then never use! Wow! Anyway, maybe I will start writing stuff now, since I have a few things to write about now that I am about to graduate and stuff. Even though I still don't have a life, I have a couple more exciting things to say now than I did before...kind of. If not, I will just say crap about things that have happened to me throughout the day, like my blog says, heh. Today I had an early dismissal at school (1:00 o clock) WOOHOO!! And I have tomorrow off! YES!! I think I am going to the movies with some of my friends tomorrow, if mom will let me borrow her car :-/ Maybe we will go see "Sin City" which, to be quite honest, I have no interest in, but my one friend seems to want to see it, so that's a possibility. I don't know yet though. My friend Johanna is supposed to call me tonight to make plans. Get this, There are only 34 days till graduation!!! That means that I only have 10 A-day classes and 10 B-day classes left in the whole year...IN MY LIFE!!! WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I'm going to college!!! I'm joining the Army!!! I'm going to be an officer!!!! So, that was just an excited rave that I sometimes succumb to. Anyway, nobody is going to be reading this unless I tell Sar about it...hmmm...maybe I should tell that bum about it. She's the one who started me doing this blog thing in the first place, not that I really "started doing" anything, heheh. I wonder if she is in NC yet. That was today that she was supposed to be moving! That's insane!! No more San Antonio TX for me {:-( I'm going to miss visiting down there, even though I only went twice!! I'm going to miss Jen, too!! I bet Sarah will really miss Jen a lot, and Danielle, too!! How crappy and good it is to move and change things, all rolled into one. It's like a crappood fest...ummm...yeah, maybe I should warn you, I make up words at random whenever I happen to be able to combine two words together in some way, shape, or form. One of my ingenious word inventions of which I am especially proud of is "nastusting"! Isn't it brilliant? It's a mixture of nasty and disgusting for the ultimate effect!! If something is really, extremely gross, just say it is nastusting. :-) I am really too weird to be writing on this internet thing...really too weird. I think I am probably among the weirdest people in the world...naturally in a good way though. Well...if it can be in a good way! What I mean to say is I am not perverted weird, I'm just weird weird. Ok, I'm being weird now. Ehem, so that'll be enough for today I should think. Maybe I'll write more later. TC

Hi. umm...so I had this math test today, and it was really hard, but I think I passed it! yay! anyway this is all new to me so...yeah...ummm....CHRISTMAS BREAK!!!!
