| So...an update...
Summer has been...well, Summer so far. It
started with me relaxing, cleaning my room, visiting my kids at PHS,
and getting the rest of my wisdom teeth out.
Then Camp started a
few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier!! I love all of the amazing
staff that I work with and our kids are great!! It was so good to see
all of the campers from last year, and fun to meet all of the new
kiddies. My first week and a half was a lil difficult, as I was with a
one on one who loved to run and was kind of high maintenance. As crazy
and hard as it was, she was a sweetie and I miss being with her every
day. However, this week she has been my buddy for a lil while each day.
Sometimes she sits in my lap during games or our singing time, and the
other day I even got to swim with her which was fun because she
actually stayed in the pool!
My new campers are a blast as well,
just a completely different perspective. They are both pretty self
capable and mainly just need assistance during transitions. But it's
been nice to actually participate in camp!
I love my job. I
love it so much. I can't imagine my summer without camp!!! I can't
believe that my first camp is almost over, but I'm excited to start my
second camp, that one is sure to be a fun one as well =)
The one
thing about summer that sucks is between my crazy schedule and my
friends schedules, I don't get to hang out with people very much. Not
to mention, my friends around here are pretty scarce since I don't have
many friends left from high school. I finally got to see Dana last
night after not seeing her for a month. That month was brutal, but last
night was so much fun! I even got to see my crazy monkey!! What a
surprise that was! He moved to Hawaii to teach and that's where I
thought he was for the summer, and then he walked into the restaurant
we were at. That was completely unexpected but pretty much awesome!
I
miss everyone from ISU so much!! I went down to school last weekend
with the sis and we stayed at my apartment. We had a blast!! I got to
unpack my room and we watched a bunch of movies and went around town,
overall an awesome weekend to just get away and relax =)
OH!! My
birthday is comin up...only 34 days! I can't wait! And I'm super
excited for Vegas!! That's gonna be such a fun way to end the summer!
I
think that's about all that's goin on right now. Summer is FLYING by
and I can't believe it. Senior year will be here before I know it and
then it's all downhill from there.
I hope everyone is having a great Summer =) | | |
| Well, I'm home...have been for like a week and a half now. Not much is happening so far...I've just been cleaning my room, I went to work a couple times with my mom, I started my online class yesterday, I'm going to visit PHS choir later this week and then in a couple weeks camp will start and I can't wait!!
In other news, I got a new car on Saturday!!! It's an 07 Chevy Malibu and it's really pretty!!!
I love it!! And since it's new I shouldn't have any problems with it for a LONG time!!
Oh well, I think I'm gonna go do some reading for my class and finish my laundry
ISU people...I miss you all SO much!!

| Where has this year gone?
I sit here and think about it and I
have no idea where it went. It really feel like it was just a couple
months ago I was moving in at the beginning of the year, and here I am
starting to pack up all of my stuff to move out. I can't believe it. I
am just 10 days away from being done with finals and therefore becoming
a senior...me! a SENIOR in college!! That makes me feel so old!!
Ya
know what else makes me feel old? That my "babies"...my freshmen choir
from when I was a senior...they're graduating this year. They're going
to be in college next year!! And some of them are even gonna be here at
ISU and that's just weird!! This year's senior rec concert is gonna be
so crazy and I know right now it's gonna be a weird feeling for me. You
know what else? My sister is a gonna be a senior in hs...which means
she'll be getting ready to come to college. I swear it was just
yesterday we were in the same grade school!
Wanna know
something else about my sister? She made Forte!! And I'm so proud of
her! She's put her heart and soul into that group on crew and she's
worked so hard to prove herself and it's all come together. I can't
wait to go to all of the competitions next year not just as a groupie
but as the sister of a performer!
While I can't believe the end
of the year is just around the corner, I am SO excited!! I am moving
into Nicole's apartment the Wednesday of finals week! I am so ready to
be done with the dorms!! And I can't wait to live with Nicole!!!
I'm
also really excited about this summer...because I KNOW that my summer
is going to be AMAZING!!! Here are the things I am looking forward to
about this summer...
*End of the year concerts at PHS
*Getting a new car!!
*CAMP!!! I can't wait to start camp...it's my life and I love it!
*Hanging out with some friends
*Relaxing
*Getting a tan
*Spending time with Family
*MY BIRTHDAY...I'LL BE 21!!!! Who wants to come and celebrate the first weekend in August?!
*VEGAS!! My amazing grandparents are taking me to Vegas August 9-12!! And my mom gets to come too =)
So there you have it...my amazing summer in a nutshell!
And yes, I'm incredibly excited for Summer, but I still can't believe how soon it's gonna be here... | | |

I had to have emergency oral surgery today =(
Earlier in the
week one of my wisdom teeth decided to start coming in and it was
causing problems in my mouth so my mom got me an appointment for this
morning where they said it had to come out. They also said I have to
get the rest of em out as soon as I get home from school because
apparently those are pretty close to poppin through as well.
I'm
in alot of pain right now, but that's ok. Because I was in SOOOO much
pain before, and I know that this pain will eventually go away.
The
only think I'm worried about is double reeds. I'm right in the
beginning/middle of bassoon and I'm supposed to have my playing midterm
on monday. I'm not supposed to play for awhile, most likely 7-10 days
depending on MY personal recovery time. Well, when we have 4 weeks of
class left , if I can't play for 2 of those weeks where will that leave
me? I emailed Mr Dicker and he said he's gonna talk to Mrs Dicker and
get back to me. So, I dunno...we'll see!
I hope everyone has a good weekend!! | | |
| Ya know, I really do hate Valentines Day. I think if you are in a
relationship with someone you should love them and show them that you
love them every day, not just today because it's "valentines day". I
also think it is just an unfriendly reminder to those of us that are
single that we don't have anyone in our lives...thanks, I really don't
need to be reminded of that fact.
But today hasn't been all that
bad...first of all, all morning classes got cancelled!! Then, when I
woke up I had a message from my stats prof that my lecture and lab was
cancelled for today!! So, I only had 1 class today and that was
choir. Well, given my crappy mood because of the label on the day, I
figured choir would put me in a good mood like it always did...and I
was right. It was good to see all of my friends =) Then, I just got
back from dinner with my Kimmy...so although its not the same, I had a
dinner "date" for the first time ever on Valentines Day...and I <3
my Kimmy and I'm glad she was my date!! And in a little while Zach is
gonna be comin over for our movie night so that should be fun too!
And
on top of all that, I got cards and valentines from a bunch of people,
so that was nice! So thank you so much to Mrs Gruben, Katie, Kimmy, my
Grandparents, and Jake for your thoughfulness on a day like today =)
And
now, thanks to these 2 snow days, it's almost the weekend!!! I can't
wait! After choir on Friday, I'm heading home on the bus with Zach and
I'm goin to my brothers confirmation and then out to dinner with the
WHOLE fam!! Then we're gettin up early on Saturday morning and
dropping Kayla off at PHS and then stopping at Jamba before heading to
ISU to pick up Jenny so we can all go to the Forte competition at
Pekin!!! It's gonna be so much fun...I <3 showchoir competitions!!
Then
my fam is gonna stay in B-N on Saturday night and we're gonna go to the
Bball game on Sunday and prolly go out to eat, hopefully a walmart run,
stuff like that. Then on Monday the sis is gonna get an official tour,
then we're gonna meet up for lunch at McAllisters...yummm!! And then
they're gonna hit the road. So it should be a fun weekend, I'm
excited!!
I hope you all have had a good day and to those of you
who got snow days this week...aren't they SO much more exciting in
college?! | | |
