WOW! it sure has been a while since the last time i wrote. sorry about that, kids, but things around here have been REALLY crazy. let's see... i can't even remember what all has been happening since the last time i blogged. i went to nacogdoches (i think that's how you spell it) last weekend to see chris before going home (totally karen's idea) and it was exactly what i needed. goodness...he's great! then i got home, my parents came home from st. croix (i wanna go for spring break...we'll see if it works out or not), we talked about my schedule and classes and stuff and then went to bed. i came back to school sunday (got in at 9:30) and talked to ann almost all the way back up here from home. it was REALLY nice! uh...let's see...monday SUCKED!!! my mom and i had been discussing my major(s and minor) while i was home and decided that i probably wasn't in the correct second major. NIIIIIIICE, right? so i was going to go talk to someone to see if i could change my second major from exercise sports science-athletic training with a teaching certificate to just exercise sports science with a teaching cert. THEEEEEN i got to my second class (orientation to athletic training) and dr. patton (the head of the athletic training department) said "if you're a pre-physical therapy major you're in the wrong class." wonderful. i'm a pre-physical therapy major. that's the only one i'm POSITIVE about. ...or so i thought... so i went to talk to dr. patton after that class was over and he told me to change from AT to ESS so i did and that i needed to drop that class. [note to self...other dropped classes.] so i came back to my dorm and dropped that class and was trying to find another class to take. (i'm going to back up a little bit here...) i stayed up until 12:01 am monday to drop chemistry so i could get the LAST seat open in a political science class. then i was talking to karen abou it and she was like "oh, that's the polisci prof i had and he SUCKS!" exactly what i needed to hear. *sigh* (jumping back into the more present.) anyway, so i dropped the orientation to athletic training class and was trying to find another class to pick up. LUCKILY (of the 128 hrs i have to have) i found ONE class that fit my schedule. it's replacing the class i dropped. yeah. so i'm taking beginnig balance and tumbling starting tomorrow. am i excited? NOT SO MUCH! hello...if you've ever ever seen me walk you know that me being graded on my balance is a disaster waiting to happen. ok, so when i was talking to dr. patton he told me that there were going to be advisors available today to talk about whatever questions we may have and that he encouraged me to go talk to them to make sure i had everything figured out. good thing i DID! yeah...ok. so i'm in there talking to an advisor and turns out pre-physical therapy isn't the route i have to take either. i'm supposed to major in ess with a teaching cert and take the "pre-requisite" classes for physical therapy school. goooooood to know. ok, so turns out i only "lost" 3 hrs (one class) and i didn't even really loose it because it can count as my elective. YAY! aaand the science classes i'm going to have to take for pt will count as the science classes i need to graduate. uh...yeah. i'm sure i have more stories to tell than that, but that's pretty much been kicking my butt for a while. but...i've got it all figured out.
AAAAAND chris is going to audition here in october because he might transfer here for next semester. how cool would THAT be? yeah. WAY cool.
hmmm...what else, what else? uh...i'm tired. britt and i went to wally world last night and got some things to put food in. it was fun. we're going to garden ridge tomorrow to look for pillows and a rug for the big room.
doug and jen are coming this weekend to float the river...along with everyone and their mothers. *hehe* i just hope the weather cooperates.
starting at midnight:01 i can start applying for scholarships. YAY for that! mom says i need to get one. and the advisor i was talking to today said that my grades were too good not to be getting a scholarship for them. he said it's obvious that there's a difference between high school and college classes. (well, DUH! i get to choose my classes AND teachers here...) anyway, he said my 3.8 should get me some money so we'll see what happens. (oh yeah...i have a 3.8 cummulative average for those of you who might care...that means that i've gotten 2 Bs in out of the 35 hrs i've completed. not bad, eh?) sound cocky? GOOD! it's my blog not yours. if you don't like it...don't read it.

riiiight...ok. so it's like 102 degrees today. i had to go to the bookstore to buy a binder because i found out that for my exercise phys class (gunna be a hard-@$$ class) we have to print off all the lecture notes and study guide to be turned in on the day of the final for...a grade, i guess. anyway, i was in the bookstore yesterday buying my books (like you read yesterday...if you read yesterday) and HAD to go look at the sweatshirts because they were on sale. yeah. so i found one that looks KINNA like the SWT one i had before the name changed to txstate. anyway, i fell in love...to say the least. sooo...when i was in the bookstore today buying a binder, i just happened to go buy a sweatshirt as well. IT'S 102 DEGREES!!! I WAS SWEATING GOING TO AND FROM CLASS TODAY AND I BOUGHT A SWEATSHIRT AT NOON! THERE'S SERIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME! between bathing suits, underwear and sweatshirts i must have $150 MILLION worth of stuff. ...at least i'm wearing it right now, though, so no one can say it was a waste of ca$h! aaaand i wore one of my new suits when i went swimming today...so i don't wanna hear anything about that, either! j/k

this one's for you...
Artist: The Calling Lyrics
Song: Wherever You Will Go Lyrics
So lately, I've been wonderin
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own
[Chorus:]
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
And maybe, I'll find out
The way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
Well I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you
[Chorus]
Runaway with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love
I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart and your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time
[Chorus]
If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go

ok...so i went swimming. well...kind of. i went to the pool and met up with mike, kyle and their friend (and my soon to be maybe running partner) aly. she's a fish and she lives in falls...and she's gunna be swimming with us everyday! anyway, we were down there and did a few laps; not really enough to call a workout, but...yeah. then we went to zookas for some dinner...and i think i ate too much cuz i'm feelin a little yucky right about now. but it's all good. uh...i was going to write something else...dang...i'm really not good at this... *sigh* so much for being a good blogger... maybe i'll get back into it someday...

yeah...so i totally got nipped in the butt today by a stupid sewell park goose. it was crazy. i was sitting at the picnic table talking to chris when a goose came up behind me and bit me in the butt. HOW CRAZY IS THAT!? yeah...that's what i thought, too. but seriously...how many of you can say you've been bitten in the butt by a goose...without provoking it at all?!
this morning on my way to jowers, i was passing the theater building and some people were looking towards the pond. so being as nosey as i am, i had to look too. to my astonishment, there was a duck with 4 ducklings just standing around eating grass. it was cool! i love the "wildlife" here...and the river.
today would have been SUCH the perfect 5-mile day. too bad my roommates are all doing crazy chi-o stuff so they can't get away to go tanning with me. it was SOOO unbelievably hot today! i think i lost 10 lbs of sweat today just going up and down the stupid hill to and from jowers.
so...i was walking back from my weight training class through the quad (cuz it's less hills than outside the quad) and saw karen up in front of me so instead of yelling to her, i decided to call her. it was cool. i told her to stop walking so i could catch up to her and then i went with her to get her books from the bookstore. WONDERFUL idea pops into our heads...let's go for some STARBUCKS!!! it was wonderful...except that her a/c doesn't work so it was hotter than anything in her car, but it's all good...i love her so i guess it doesn't really matter too much.
yeah...so we're going down I-35 to get to new braunfels and WHAT SHOULD WE PASS but the hotel that we stayed in when we were going to schlitterbahn. oh the memories...with the apple bees right nextdoor...thinking about the rain... *tear* awww...i miss you guys...
uh...yeah. i'm supposed to be going swimming with mike in about 30 minutes so i guess i should start to gather my stuff and get heading down there...since it's WAY down the hill (the other hill).

KEITH URBAN LYRICS
"Somebody Like You"
There's a new wind blowin' like I've never known.
I'm breathin' deeper than I've ever done.
And it sure feels good, to finally feel the way I do.
I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you.
An' I'm lettin' go of all my lonely yesterdays.
I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made.
Now there's just one thing, the only thing I wanna do, mmm, mmm.
I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you.
Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine,
Shinin' down on me and you.
When you put your arms around me,
You let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do.
I used to run in circles goin' no-where fast.
I'd take, uh, one step forward and up two steps back.
Couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to, mmm, mmm.
I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you.
Whoa here we go now!
Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine,
Shinin' down on me and you.
When you put your arms around me,
Well, baby there ain't nothing in this world I can't do.
Sometimes it's hard for me to understand,
But you're teachin' me to be a better man.
I don't want to take this life for granted like I used to do, no, no.
I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you.
I'm ready to love somebody,
Love somebody like you. Oooh.
An' I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you, yeah.
Oh yeah.
Oh, I wanna be the man in the middle of the night,
Shinin' like it's true.
I wanna be the man that you run to whenever I call on you
When everything that loved someone finally found it's way
Wanna be a better man
I see it in you yeah...

how could i POSSIBLY have forgotten to blog about it?! no idea... ok, so erin and i went outside today to get the bookcase and table that chris so neatly and perfectly stuffed into my trunk and backseat. (he even buckled the table in!) aaaanyway, ok, so erin and i got everything out of the car (shoes, pillows, stuffed animals--everything) and piled it all onto the table and started up the hill to the dorm. ok, so it doesn't look like that far...until you're walking backwards up a hill with a coffee table carrying a 39 lb bookshelf with shoes, a pillow and two stuffed animals. thank goodness i wasn't trying to do it alone...otherwise it would have taken me AT LEAST 4 trips... theeeeen we were almost to the stairs (actually had gone KIND of up and then had to stop and go back down) when some really nice guy walked up and asked if we needed some help. ironically enough, erin and i had just been talking about "where are the guys who seem to just show up in time to ask you if you need help with something?" and THERE HE IS!!! hehe...anyway, so he asked where we were going and we told him we were going to the 8th floor but that once we got it up the stairs we'd be fine. he was so sweet to offer to help us get it into our room, but we really were fine. i just couldn't lift the whole thing over my head without some assistance. i know...i'm REALLY weak...soo pathetic... anyway, so we got it in here and i pointed out that the bookshelve's name is "billy" (chris pointed it out to me, so i pointed it out to erin) and we attempted to assemble it...without directions. amazing...they really do you some good! anyway, so we put it together how we thought it was supposed to go and ended up having to undo and redo it a few times...but now it's up and we're good! *sigh* just sucks that it took us soo long to be smart about it. our room is a WRECK, though. we've got so much JUNK all over the place...and we're still trying to figure out what goes where and what else we want/need in here (besides the obvious need for carpet). erin's stuff always looks sooo cute...and mine's always just thrown around somewhere. one of these days i'll get really organized...or something like that.
then mike came up to say hi and hang out for a little bit. as soon as he saw our room setup he called kyle to come see and they're going to loft their beds and put their desks under their beds so they have a "living area" between the two rooms...like we have. so that was good fun. it was really nice to see mike again! ooooh...and he's going to swim everyday at 5 so i said i was going to start going with him...or meeting him down there (whatever). it's gunna be great! I'M GUNNA GET IN SHAPE, BABY!!! ...at least, that's the plan...
so...yeah. i guess that's it for now...i think... but, whatever! uh...yeah. i need to do some stuff here and i think i'm gunna watch some tv before i hit the shower and the sack. YAY for tv!

well...i'm officially a sophomore at texas state now. today was the first day of classes and...well...yeah. my first two classes don't look like they're going to be that bad...but they're also PE classes, which is my major, so they SHOULDN'T be that bad or i need to seriously think about changing my major. the chemistry class, however, is going to SUCK big ones. the guy's gotta be at least 75 million years old and he doesn't take any "crap" from anyone. cell phone goes off in class? YOU'RE OUT! you talk during class? YOU'RE OUT! he gave us a lecture about how "kids these days" just have no respect for anyone and we only think of ourselves and schooling was better because kids were better behaved when teachers were allowed to beat kids. can you only imagine the kind of response that comment provoked? yeah. LOTS of funny looks and gasps from the "audience". AAAAAND on top of all of that...he thinks he's funny, laughs about everything he says, and is SOOO boring...worse than ms. harbison (algebra 2 and pre-cal at klein).
THEN i got a voicemail from jessica telling me that my presence was requested (not in such professional terms, but...hey...) in the cube so i could fill something out. yeah...good thing i have NO idea what my dorm phone number is, right? NOT! *ugh* i think i wrote it down somewhere, but i have a feeling that i threw that piece of paper away in the process of moving in or getting ready to leave after moving in. aaanyway, i had already run by the bookstore to waste some time between PE 1298 (still not sure what that is) and chemistry to see how much and how big my books for this year are so after chemistry i went to the bookstore again to purchase my books (another story) before i went up to the cubicle to fill out the paperwork that i needed to fill out.
as for the story about my books... ok, so i have a credit card as you may or may not know. WELL...it's "daddy's card" and i paid my tuition on it earlier this month. i'm GUESSING that dad forgot to up the limit so i could also buy books because i went to pay my $428.59 for this semesters books (that's minus one that i need that i kept from last semester...good thinking miree!) and the card was denied. YEAH!!! imagine that. i'm sitting at the cash register with a whole bunch of big books and my credit card is denied. thank GOODNESS daddy made me keep my other card (hehe...two cards...) incase something like that happened. oh...daddy's gunna be mad when he sees the credit card bills this month. *EEEK!* but...honestly...$6,428 of those are for MY college. i'm not exactly sure about the rest of it, but...yeah.
soooo...that's my story for today... i'm going to go try to do something productive (probably watch tv instead since i don't have any roommates). HAVE A GOOD ONE!!! and, seriously...if you read this, leave me a comment so i know that more than just jordyn and scott read this. (yes, chris...that was directed towards YOU!)

i love these things...tell me what YOU think about marriage!!
Of all the 'Out of the mouths of babes' articles, this is the winner, hands down - no contest. Read & Heed)
HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?
( 1 ) You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. -- Alan, age 10
( 2 ) No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with. -- Kirsten, age 10
WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
( 1 ) Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then. -- Camille, age 10
( 2 ) No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.. -- Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)
HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
( 1 ) You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.-- Derrick, age 8
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
( 1 ) Both don't want any more kids. -- Lori, age 8
WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
( 1 ) Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough. -- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)
( 2 ) On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date. -- Martin, age 10
WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
( 1 ) I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns. -- Craig, age 9
WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
( 1 ) When they're rich. -- Pam, age 7
( 2 ) The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that. -- Curt, age 7
( 3 ) The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do. -- Howard, age 8
IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
( 1 ) I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm never going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed out. -- Theodore, age 8
( 2 ) It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. -- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)
HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
( 1 ) There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there? -- Kelvin, age 8
And the #1 Favorite is........
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
( 1 ) Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck. -- Ricky, age 10

holy moly. i hate my computer. yes, bob, that's right. I HATE YOU! *sigh* and now that that's all out of my system...i'll explain the dilema. well...so i get to school. NO BIG DEAL, RIGHT!? wrong. first of all, i can't find any of my roommates so i tried to unload my car...alone...and got frustrated so i stopped. aaaanyway, long story short, i make enough trips to get all my computer stuff plus the battery backup up here and start putting everything together...only to find out that my monitor doesn't want to cooperate! those of you who have been around bob and me know that something happened with his video card so we got him a new one...which you'd THINK he'd be grateful for. but is he? NO!!! OF COURSE NOT!!! no, instead he decides that he's going to NOT work. so i called robert who's trying to figure out what to do. well...if i'm in one slot, i only get the background and the toolbar. if i'm in the other slot, i get the windows and the desktop. I CAN'T MAKE THEM BOTH GO INTO ONE SLOT!!! which means i get to bring the computer and monitor back home this weekend so robert can fix everything for me. *yay* as for everything else...i'm alone in my dorm room with NO clue where anyone is...and it's a wreck in here. i still have stuff in my car that i should bring in, but TOTALLY don't feel like doing it alone.
for those few of you who read this, my AIM isn't working (or i can't type in the window) so if i don't talk to you, don't think i'm ignoring you...
classes start tomorrow...yippy! my first class is foundations to exercise sports science at 9 in jowers a203. i hope it's an easy class...i don't really feel like thinking today and doubt i'll want to think anymore tomorrow. crazy, aint it? two summer school sessions sure will make you NOT want to start school two weeks later...i wonder why... WHERE DID MY SUMMER GO!?

well...today was nice! i woke up to bring david to school then watched the morning show and the view and stuff and then chris came over, we got breakfast, watched along came polly, hung out...it was a good day! around 4:30 we went up to school to watch marching practice. i miss those days. awww...all my little kids...they're growing up! *sniff* i met one of the fish bscl today. he's never heard of me. *tear* i guess they gotta let me go eventually, though, right? nico gave me a hug. that was nice. i miss that kid! (like my short, choppy sentences? i'm not an english major, can you tell?) well, chris was my "date" to meet the bearkats tonight and then we brought david out for ice cream at TCBY and it must have been, like, seniors night or something cuz there were a lot of old people there.
well...today was it. i'm leaving tomorrow for college. chris is going to come over at 8 tomorrow (right, chris?! or i get breakfast!) to help me pack up my car and everything so i can leave around lunchtime tomorrow. we'll see what time i actually get going, though... i'll be back friday, though, but everyone will be gone by then, i'm sure... alright, i guess that's it for today's boring as anything post. i'll have more once i get up to school.

i went to IKEA yesterday with chris to return the coffee table i bought and to buy a new one...except after we returned the one missing pieces, there weren't any more. i bought a bookshelf, too, though. it's not really big, but it's something. if erin decides she doesn't like it then i'll return it and we'll find something else to use. i think it'll be nice, though. i might just bring the coffee table from the office up to school...if i can figure out how to take it apart because, even though chris thinks it will fit, i don't think it will fit in connie how it is.
after IKEA i went to work...three guards... then i went to lee's because monica was there and i wasn't going to be able to see her again until...well, probably christmas at the earliest. ...and chris was there... but he hung up on me, so i didn't really want to go for him. anyway, we ate pizza, drank sodas (and water) and hung out. monica and i went into lee's room to get away from the guys to talk, but...yeah. *sigh* i'm sorry, lee...i didn't know. :( then chris drove me home even though i drove out there because i was tired and richard wanted to stay a little longer, so he drove me home and made me promise to call him if richard didn't get home by 4:30 when i had to leave to bring mom and dad to the airport...since i wouldn't have had my driver's license...since it was on my keychain that i left with richard at lee's. but i didn't end up driving mom and dad because mom came up to wake me up and asked if i wanted rob to drive them since it was thundering and lightning and, of course, i said yes. good thing i did, too, because i wouldn't have gotten home otherwise. i'm SOO terrified of driving in that kind of weather...and we got it bad! i would have LITERALLY been peeing in my pants if i had to drive home ALONE in that kind of weather. anyway..yeah. so i didn't drive them so i slept in. i'm tired and my tummy hurts. i'm going to go take my medicine and pick up my pictures from wal-greens. well...i guess that's about it for now. if anything interesting happens, i'll let you know! ;)

"If you can read this, thank a teacher; If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier."
John Kerry on Defense -- I hadn't seen this list printed before. It would make one heck of a mailer if it were sent to voters.
He voted to kill the Bradley Fighting Vehicle
He voted to kill the M-1 Abrams Tank
He voted to kill every aircraft carrier laid down from 1988.
He voted to kill the Aegis anti aircraft system
He voted to Kill the F-15 Strike Eagle
He voted to Kill the F-16
He voted to Kill the P-3 Orion upgrade
He voted to Kill the B-1
He voted to Kill the B-2
He voted to Kill the Patriot Anti Missile System
He voted to Kill the FA-18
He voted to Kill the B-2
He voted to Kill the F117.
In short, he voted to kill every military appropriation for the development and deployment of every weapons systems since 1988 to include the battle armor for our troops. With Kerry as president our Army will be made up of naked men running around with sticks and clubs.
He also voted to kill all anti terrorism activities of every agency of the U.S. Government and to cut the funding of the FBI by 60%, to cut the funding for the CIA by 80%, and cut the funding for the NSA by 80%.
But then he voted to increase OUR funding for U.N operations by 800%!!!
Is THIS a President YOU want?
Please pass this on, as many people may not know how bad it is. And don't limit your sending to just your Republican friends. Everyone needs to know.

well...i did it. i moved into my dorm wednesday and then we PARTIED at karen's wednesday night for my AWESOMEST roommate's birthday! jessica's birthday was yesterday so she's FINALLY 18! yay for being able to get into a club now with her own ID! yesterday richard, chris and i moved stuff out of the college station apartment and brought it home. i got sick yesterday off of dairy queen so i slept most of the way home from college station and as soon as i got home i transfered myself to david's bed and slept from then until 6:30-ish this morning with only a few wake-up calls along the way. sorry to anyone who tried to call me last night. my phone was downstairs, i was upstairs and even if my phone had been with me, i probably wouldn't have answered it. i just REALLY didn't feel good yesterday. talk about a tummy ache i haven't had in a really long time... *sigh* but i guess i should have known it was comming.
my parents are leaving for st. croix tomorrow morning EARLY EARLY EARLY so i'm going to take them to the airport but robert isn't leaving anymore because he was supposed to be going to orlando but with all the damage they've got, they're not ready for him to go do whatever it was he was going to do so he's staying here...but i'm still staying until tuesday and then comming home on friday to pick my parents up from the airport late that night.
i feel like i should have SO much more to write, but for some reason i can't think of a darned thing...

well...it's here! the day to move back up to san marcos has REALLY come! i can't decide if i'm excited or not. i mean, don't get me wrong, i'm really excited to see everyone again, but i'm not really ready for school to start again. where's my summer?! j/k found out last night that mike's not going to be there until thursday morning so chances are i won't get to see him until i get up there on the 24th. i guess it's not too big of a deal, though...just means we can't talk about fanatics stuff like we probably need to.
mom suggested that i take richard and chris to the river tomorrow since i'm always talking about it and we should have some time. we'll see about that one...
I GET TO SEE ERIN AND KAREN AGAIN TODAY!!! ...not that i'm the least bit excited or anything... ;) looks like a GREAT night for a run around the track, huh, karen? and you get to meet richard for the first time. YAY!
robert didn't fix my computer last night so instead of bringing it up and plugging it in today i'm going to have to wait until the 24th to do that. *sigh* hopefully everything will work, though...

alright, i've got a lot to write about but i'm not so sure i'll be able to remember everything, but i'll try!
saturday: woke up around 8 and got things together. mom, her mom and i went to get our nails done (i got a pedicure, mom got a manicure and a pedicure and g'ma got a manicure) at two tone nails outside our neighborhood. we made sandwiches for lunch then around 1 we finally left to get to college station. we got there around 3-ish and stopped by the apartment to give rob his pants for the rehearsal and then went to check into the hotel. TALK ABOUT NICE!! ok, i reserved a queen suite for my brothers and i and a queen room for my parents (the two were connected by one of those door things) but our bathroom was AMAZING!! too bad i didn't get to take a bath in it... we had a tv in the bathroom and the tub was REALLY nice and...oh man. i wanna go back again sometime! anyway, we got our stuff into the rooms and changed into our clothes and were late to the rehearsal. when we got to the chapel, we did the rehearsal thing but since jessica (the maid of honor) wasn't there, joann stood in in her place. joann and i started crying as soon as the stuff started...and then when we were actually running the thing from the beginning (like, walking down the aisle and everything) i started crying again but lee was such a sweetheart and kept telling me it was ok and...yeah. (thanks, lee!) oh yeah...ok, so none of the grandmothers were at the rehearsal (because they didn't really need to be there) so joann and i "sat in" as grandmothers so that the ushers could get a feel for how all of that stuff was going to go. since there are 4 g'mas and 2 of us, joann and i had to keep going up and down and back around and the minister was like, "you guys are going to have to stop this cuz you're beginning to make me seasick!" it ws funny, but i guess you had to be thre... ok, so the rehearsal went pretty well and then we walked over to rudder tower (11th floor rudder tower-the faculty club) where the rehearsal dinner was being held. TALK ABOUT FREEZING COLD IN THERE!!! goodness...i think they were trying to freeze us all to death. *sigh* whatever. ok, so the food was alright (i didn't really like the chicken but i liked everything else) and after we ate, a group of us went outside so we could warm up and...it was nice. then we went back to the hotel and the guys went bowling and...i watched the olympics in the hotel while my mom and dad went somewhere. it was fun.
sunday: i woke up around 7 because...yeah. and i went to wake up the boys, i took a shower, got dressed and we went downstairs to eat breakfast. church was at 8 but my family LEFT me when i went upstairs to get my shirt. so i went with my cousins at 10 and then came back to the hotel and my aunt, betty, did mine and my mom's hair for the wedding then we got dressed and headed over to the chapel and i was starting to cry and...yeah. the wedding was really nice, i cried almost the whole way through it. before lee and i walked down the aisle, i was really shaking and almost crying and he told me to calm down and breathe and stuff like that, so when it was our turn to go, i tried to smile long enough that the photographer could get a decent picture of us (with me smiling) then once we passed her, i couldn't keep my tears in anymre. everyone was really amazed that i held it together as well as i did because my grandmother (sitting right behind me--where i was standing) started BAWLING and it made me really want to cry, but i didn't because i was up front and didn't want to draw attention away from the bride and groom. lee kept giving me reassuring looks, though. SUCH a sweet guy! lee sat next to me at the reception, i cried during the dances, lots of pictures, it was too sweet. david and i left last night to get home so i could get going through my college stuff and...here i am. sorry for missing all the good details, but...yeah. it's been a long weekend!
JEN, WELCOME TO THE DORNIER FAMILY!!! WE ALL LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!

kim, vanessa and i went to outback for dinner tonight since we figured it might be the last time we all will be able to get together and...it was fun. kimchi and i both got the "kids" sized mac 'n cheese with cubed chicken and broccoli cuts along with a salad while vanessa got the red fish (or something like that) and a salad. we were going to go see a movie, too, but decided it would be too late so we didn't.
i had to say good-bye to chris because he's leaving for school while i'll be in college station. when he walked me outside, he gave me a hug and said "thanks for being my best friend!" and, of course, those of you who know me know that didn't go over very well...i started to cry. i can't believe it's already time for us to leave again. i'm going to miss him soo much. no more starbucks randomly to hang out...no more hugs cuz i need one...no more of that. from now until about christmas time (if even then) i'll be talking to him on the phone at least once a week but i'll have to look at pictures to "see" him. *sniff* it's sad...but we knew it would happen.
as for me, i'm going ot bed so i can get up early to get a pedicure with my mom and g'ma and then we're heading up to college station for everything. i'll write about everything when i get home monday. have a good weekend and if you need me at ALL this weekend, call my cell. sunday between 2 and 3 it won't be on, though, because THAT'S THE TIME OF THE WEDDING!!! :-D be safe, kids (especially you, chris)!!

happy birthday, erin chrystowski!
-well, kids, i've got some good news. i'm rather cranky today.
-i thought you said you had good news.
-i do. i just saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to geico.
JUST KIDDING!!!! I HATE THOSE COMMERCIALS!! i really do, however, have good news. ok, so we get to class today, kinna discuss the poems we read for today and prof. studdard was like "do y'all really want to take this final?" haha...uh...NO!!!! so she said if we were satisfied with our grades we didn't have to take the final. so...needless to say, i'm plenty satisfied with my A- (which will transfer to txstate as an A) so i'm not going to class tomorrow and i'm NOT taking the final. good idea, eh?! yeah. so, i got a B on my paper...and that's just fine and dandy with me. it was by NO stretch of the imagination the best paper (or close to the best paper) i've ever written, so i'm very much ok with my B. i got an A-, didn't i? YAY!!! ok...now that that's off my chest... i think i didn't get enough sleep last night. my tummy hurts (probably because i had dr. pepper at 6 this morning and donuts when i got home along with a hamburger and french fries for lunch) and my head hurts and...i'm kinna cranky today. *sigh* i'm going to miss lifeguarding when it's finished and i'm back at school. maybe i'll see if i can guard at the pool or at the aquatic center?! even though it won't be the same at all...i'd still be guarding and making money. we'll see how the class load is.
it was sooo cool today to go try on clothes and like the way they looked cuz my legs are DARK! hehe...i LOVE being tan! :-D (can you tell i like the sun?! i'm a summer baby not a winter baby...even though my birthday is in november...) anyway, we went shopping today after class and i got loads of new clothes....it's crazy stuff!
i'm not so sure if i want to go tomorrow night to the "outting" that was planned...even though it'd be fun and it was kinna all my idea. i just...don't think i'd be welcome there so i think i should probably just stay home. but if i DO go, even though i'll be going straight from lifeguarding, i'm going to try to look really cute (or at least half-decently cute). i think i'll wear my khaki pants with my new brown shoes, brown belt and a button-down shirt with a spaghetti strap shirt underneath it...and maybe i'll even throw on some make-up when i get to the restraunt! haha...wouldn't that be a hoot! miree with make-up...that makes me want to laugh... i'm going to get my nails done tomorrow! it'll be nice to feel pretty again. i hope...i just hope i don't rip them off before sunday...and that they stay on for at LEAST a week...if not longer than that.
goodness...i almost forgot! today was payday! good thing i spent all the money i made last week today on clothes... man, i need to limit myself better... *sigh*
and on that note, i think i'm going to jump in the shower so i can get clean and take a little nap while waiting on a phone call...assuming that it will come...
5:23 PM

AHHHHHH!!!! i just don't get it anymore...i don't know what to do. you totally took me by surprise with that visit. but...whatever. i guess it's over, so...oh well. so much for a "great summer" huh?
butterfly effect is a trippy movie. good, but weird. but in the end, everything makes more sense. i just...oh, it's so weird! after talking to chelsea and mr. st amour last night, i'm not so sure i want to see the village but thought it'd be a nice end to the night on thursday...but i don't think i'm going thursday anymore, so...sucks to be me. i want to see a really good scary movie this summer. cabin fever just didn't do it for me. NOT a good movie...and not one teeny bit scary.
my stomach hurts and i need to shower before school, but before i go... on the way home from work this morning i had to stop for ducks to cross stuebner over there by hooks airport. i think they need a "ducks x-ing" sign so we know to watch out for those birds!
ok...i think that's it now. i have so much on my mind right now...if i blow you off/don't act happy/don't "act like myself", don't throw it in my face...or i'll throw it right back in your's.

uh...yeah. so monica came over last night. that was SOOO much fun. it's really amazing how long it's been since the last time we really got to talk. i mean, we email while we're at school and stuff, but...STILL. and it was really weird for us to try to remember people we used to be friends with "way back in the day" and realize that we don't even talk to them anymore. kinna sucks, when you think about it, but i guess that's just a part of life?! just...wanted to write a little something about monica's visit. it was really nice. i miss her...it's nice to be able to talk to her about some of the stuff on my mind.
until later...

well, i got my word minimum now. all i have to do now is wait for chris b to edit the crap out of my POS paper! haha...he's too good to me. just think, though, chris...the summer's ALMOST over and after this, i'm not taking english again until NEXT summer...if i have to. i may just take it next semester at school since one of the professors is supposed to be really good (but probably really hard too). aaaanyways, MONICA's coming over today. it's soo great to see her again...and it's not weird when i'm around her, for some reason. i'm not sure why that is...maybe because we try to email each other while we're at school...or maybe because we grew up together, but i love being around her and it's really nice to be able to talk to her about stuff that i can't talk to other people about. she's great...AND SHE'S COMING OVER!!! hehe...maybe we'll actually get to do soemthing! :-D

Don't count the years - count the memories. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away!

oh my goodness...i hate english! and more than that, i hate writing research papers. i'll do the research for hours and hours on end, but when it comes to writing the actual paper, i can't ever seem to do it. *sigh* so now i have this research paper that i've been putting off...and i can't put it off anymore because it's DUE on tuesday...and if i don't turn it in and/or don't receive a passing grade for it, i won't get credit for this class. and THAT'D be a waste. good thing i called mina today or i would have forgotten that i have to write a paper about drama. i just changed my topic COMPLETELY today. hopefully this one will be easier to write about since there was more information researchable about it.
richard's trying to sleep in here, but i'm still printing off pages, so...yeah. i'll blog more about things later...

Kung-Fun Fighting
By: Carl Douglas
Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing
They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chineese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip
Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing
There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung
He said here comes the big boss, lets get it on
We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand
The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand knew trip
Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they did it with expert timing

well...i got up extra early this morning to do the job i should have done last night. but at least i wasn't alone and it didn't take that long...and i got paid to do it! so, this morning at 5:24 my alarm went off (poor david...i should probably not sleep in his room when i have to get up early) and i got up, went to put on my suit, put my eyes in, and left. i hope that my mom doesn't think i stayed out all night last night because i didn't. anyway, i left and got to work in about 15 minutes (amazing what you can do at 5:45 in the morning)! vanessa and austin weren't there yet, so i went ahead and started cleaning from last night. it, actually, wasn't too bad. after putting away all the chairs, picking up the lost-and-found, and picking up trash, the three of us pulled out the NEW lawn chairs that vanessa and mrs. chason bought yesterday and layyed (i know that's not how you spell it...it's an inside joke) out from 6-7:30 watching the sky change colors. it was nice! AND WE GOT PAID TO DO IT!!! :-D but...yeah. no one showed up for adult swim until about 7:10 so she only had 20 minutes to swim. anyway, we locked up and on my way home i decided to snoop and check out the Klein Band. rather dissappointed, however, because i couldn't find any of my kiddos. guess they were hiding from me, even though zach's really tall and can't hide very well. man, guys, they're heck-a quiet out there. good thing our class left! *hehe* we weren't, exactly, the most...hmm...how can i put it...productive group of marchers. they do all this crazy stuff now. but for some reason they look really small. i'm not sure if it's because i just can't remember how it was during marching camp or maybe because everyone wasn't there today, but it looked like a small group of people out there. *sigh* oh well...aaaanyway, i'm gunna put some food in my tummy and then i'm going to REALLY start my research paper since i don't have anything else to do until 4 (when i go back to work). tonight's gunna be nuts. i should PROBABLY get some more shut-eye since i only slept from 12:45-5:24 this morning but i don't really see that happening.
chris is going with me tonight to PICK RICHARD UP FROM THE AIRPORT!!!! (but, remember, i'm not at all excited about it...)

haha...i can't beleive that swim season's been over for over a month now and there is STILL crap going around between the two teams. someone please explain that to me. my mom forwarded me an email today that she received from (my alltime favorite person) mr. dean saying that the londonderry coaches would not get out of the water after being told repeatedly to get out. WHATEVER! londonderry is also, apperently, never allowed to swim in any cy fair isd pool ever again because of our conduct. haha...i guess they're refering to the cheers that we did, since we were the only team we must have been WAY in the wrong doing them. good thing giammalva is requesting that they never swim against us again because the feeling is mutual. i'm ashamed and imbarrassed to say that i swam for that team for so long. all this stuff is stupid, petty, childish and it's good to know that next year we won't have to put up with it again. now i just hope they fire sherrie and find someone who actually cares about the older kids.

ok, there's a new poll up. everyone take a moment to check it out! (it's not about band, are you happy jordyn!?)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAREN!!!! i love you, i miss you and i can't wait to see you again!!! it's coming sooo soon! and richard comes home saturday morning. YAY!
ok, so today i got to class and professor studdard didn't show up until 10:30-ish which was fine with us, but she was like "i have an idea. why don't you just tell me happy birthday and go home." AND SHE WAS SERIOUS! haha...it was great. this whole week has gotten shorter and shorter when it comes to that class...but instead of coming home and working on my paper like i should, i just sit around watching tv and getting online.
as for the rest of the day, i'm going to bring david to get his permit renewed, go to work and hopefully get some of my paper finished...since richard comes in town SOOOOOOON and i want to spend all day with him on saturday. YAY!
JORDYN COMES HOME TOMORROW AND RICHARD COMES HOME ON SATURDAY!!! life is good!

well...today was interesting to say the VERY least...
(just so things later make more sense) mom and i brought connie to the shop
i went to the doctor today and told the nurse when i walked in that i had a rash on my arm along with a sore throat. she said that sometimes strep shows up in the form of a rash so she swabbed the inside of my mouth for a strep test. then i went to the little room to wait for the dr. i got the one i don't particularly like, but i suppose it's ok because today he didn't tell me i had allergies. anyway, i have eczema on my right arm in my elbow crease thing (can't remember what it's called at the moment, sorry) and as for my throat he said that it looks pretty normal. when he felt my neck, though, he said it felt swollen but if it didn't hurt as much as before and it wasn't as swollen as before he wasn't going to give me any antibiotics because my body was doing a fine job of killing whatever it was. (my strep test came out negative, can you tell?!) so i left with a prescription for a cream something for my arm.
THEN i went to chris's house because he was going to go with me to IKEA so i could shop/purchase a coffee-ish table for the dorm room common room thing. yeah...ok, so i got there, turned off bertha (obviously...why would i keep her on!?) and went to the door. and when we got in to try to leave...GUESS WHAT?! yeah, you guessed it (actually, probably not) bertha wouldn't start. not just wouldn't start...i mean WOULDN'T START! chris got his jumper cables (not that i didn't have my own, but his were closer i guess) and hooked tracy up to bertha and tried to jump her...even though i told him he wouldn't be able to do it alone. does he listen to me? NO! ok...so after a little while he asked if i had called my dad and, of course, i hadn't yet so i called mom because dad was in a meeting. mom didn't know what to tell me to do so i called dad, got him out of his meeting and he talked to chris about what to do. we tried for what seemed like forever to get her to start and she still wouldn't, so i called dad back and pulled him out of the meeting a SECOND time (BIIIIIIG nono in my family to pull daddy out of a meeting unless you're bleeding to death) and he told me that he'd be over to chris's (since that's where the car was) as soon as he could get away from the office. soooo...chris told me that we'd still go (such a good friend) but since connie wasn't ready yet, he drove. we got down there without too much trouble and found the tables i had looked at along with the bookshelves that i was looking at, but we only bought the table because i don't know if we're going to have enough room for the bookcase or not, but when i come back the 19th i'll know for sure if we can fit it or not. anyway, we bought the table (and, yes, it fit in tracy even though i had my doubts...what do i owe you, chris?) and got home without too much fuss. i called the guys at louetta to see if connie was ready yet or not and the guy said they had just finished so chris dropped me off there and i brought her home.
soooo...we eat dinner, talk about what happened and david, dad and i go back over to chris's cuz daddy thinks his "$270 battery better be able to start [bertha]." good thing chris was there, though, cuz we ended up having to use tracy and moby to jump bertha. stupid big van...*sigh* aaaanyway, so we finally get bertha going, get the jumper cables all put away and dad and i are talking about where we're going to go and how we're going to go to get a new battery. david didn't know that bertha was on (hello...isn't that why we were there?) so he turned her off...so we had to pull all the stuff back out, get chris back over and jump her again. yeah...ALL the juice is gone. i don't understand... anyway, so we got to sears but they were closed so dad bought a battery and, i think, put it in himself.
for those of you who were concerned about connie, she's fine. her brakes are great now! YAY! we'll keep the cause a secret, but just know that she's fine now...
(you know who you are) i'll try really hard not to worry about things, but you know me...i can't make any promises. i'll try harder, though, if that's what it'll take. just...gotta give me a little time...
8:58 PM

I'M TALKING TO JORDYN!!!! my baby's been gone since the day after schlitterbahn and i haven't had but, maybe, two comments in my blog (from the all faithful scott) since she's been gone. BUUUUT...she got online and now i have comments for all my posts! *hehe* anyway, class today was cut WAY short because my prof killed her fish last night and needed to go take care of it. i think she was devastated... i feel sorry for my poor prof sometimes with all the problems she comes in with...

HAPPY NATIONAL NIGHT OUT! :-D
today in class...oh...i already got that out of my system so i won't go there again. anyway, after class i went to the doctor to see if they could give me an appointment, but there wasn't anyone there. so i went home, had a peanut butter sandwich with some chips (i know, not healthy), brought david to sectionals, brought the skirts to the mail handler so they could be sent back since they're not the ones we've decided to use, then went to work. i got there early...josh and celisha were working. uh...no comment there. then they left and caroline came...and 30 minutes later austin showed up. yay...
ooooh...funny story... ok, so my mom called me to tell me that i was going to have to pick pizza up on my way home from work since we were going to have pizza tonight. so robert called me and left me a message telling me where the pizza was and how much it cost and stuff like that. it's all good, i leave work (later than i thought i would), went to pick up the pizza, paid for it, brought it home and no one's there but robert. so i put it on the table and went to the computer room to see where everyone else was. dad had just left to get the pizza (yes, the pizza i had just gotten home with), mom was swimming and rob didn't know where david was. sooo...about 30 minutes later, david and dad show up...with 2 more pizzas...and a good story when we told them that we already had the 2 pizzas originally purchased. apparently, they didn't charge dad for the pizzas that he picked up since he had to wait for them to make them and they voided my credit card purchase since...i'm not exactly sure why. but...anyway, it was really funny. guess you either have to know my family or had to have been here to understand why it's funny... ok, nm. the story sounded better in my head...

i don't feel good... :-( my throat hurts (mommy says my tonsils are red and swollen and...yucky looking), my head's been bugging me, tummy aches (but what's new), the sole of my left foot is covered in some kind of bite (not sure if it's mosquitoes or ants...daddy doesn't like them being there so close together...thinks i might get a fever from it), my arm hurts where i gave blood, i have a bruise on my right hand ring finger from the iron prick, my knee hurts really badly but i'm not sure why, my left foot hurts too much to walk on (because of all the bites)...not good...not good...
on a slightly higher note, i didn't work today since it was monday (and the pool is supposed to get cleaned every monday) but i work tomorrow from 2-6:30 so i need to see if i can get into the doctor sometime between now and then...or at least go in a see if i can make an appointment for tomorrow.
david and i are going to get his permit renewed on thursday so he can continue his driving stuff (yippy) and we're going to start REALLY working on that book work. if we don't get it nearly completed before i leave for school, he's not going to have time to do it until after football season. *sigh* it's up to him, though. i already have mine.
RICHARD'S COMING IN ON SATURDAY!!! if you wanna come with me to the airport to pick him up, let me know. i don't mind going alone, but if you're just DYING to see him, or whatever, leave me a comment.
hopefully i'll get to IKEA on wednesday to get the rest of the dorm stuff that erin and i wanted to get. we'll see how that goes...

just to set the record straight, if you look at the poll on the left side of my blog and look at the results, the only reason low brass is winning is because chris b put them in first by continuously clicking on it. so, FOR THE RECORD, everyone would rather play bass clarinet than any of those "other" instruments. ;) j/k kids! no one but my babies likes the bscls. we're ok with that...at least they're more remembered now than when katie and i were there...

galveston was SOO much fun yesterday. e, the weather was amazing! we got one drop on the way down there, but then it was sunny and hot with a little ocean breeze and...SOOO much fun. i wish you would have come too, but i understand why you didn't.
ok, so connie's top's down all the way...which means i got a sunburn...before i even got to the beach. GREEEEAT! j/k. i didn't even realize it until later when i went to the bathroom to wash my hands and looked at myself for the first time since we'd gotten there. aaaanyway, on the way down the traffic on I-45 was pretty backed up...even on the galveston side of downtown. and we saw a rearend take place...and saw it coming. traffic in front was stopped (like TOTALLY not moving) and some lady wasn't paying attention or thought that traffic would move for her or something and rearended a little car in front of it and the little car rearended a truck. (the car was too WAY too close to the truck, so hopefully that will teach her to give more room for the car in front of her when driving.)
we got there, went in the water (which was warm but not gross warm), ate some lunch, went back in the ocean, walked along the beach just...walking, went to the strand, read EVERY shirt in those stores (some need to go away...to crude), then rob met us for dinner at some cajun restraunt down there. food was alright, i've had way better before, but i wasn't going to say anything because we WERE in galveston not in new orleans!
after dinner, rob went home and we headed for the ferry to take us to...that island that's not galveston. drove for (what seemed like) forever and then turned right down a street...only to get stuck in the sand. if you want to know the story you're going to have to ask on a personal basis because i don't really feel like writing the whole thing in here. let's just say i got WAY stuck in REALLY soft sand, had to ask someone to pull me out and there were some words that have rarely ever come out of my mouth that were repeated a few hundred times. NOT good, but connie's ok. she got a nice "all over" clean before hitting I-45 to head back home. speaking of which...connie's top leaks really really badly when she's getting a car wash with high pressure water. NOT good...my whole left leg was SOAKED! *sigh* i just don't know what to do with her sometimes...
when i got home, chris texted me and...i'm really sorry, you two. if there's anything i can do to make things better, let me know. but...maybe it's a good thing?! i guess only time will tell.
for some reason my feet are itching like crazy...hmmm...maybe because SOMEHOW i got, like, a million 'squito bites on my feet. it's nuts. either i stood in a pile of ants (even though they don't really look or feel like ant bites) or the stupid bugs were going for my feet because i can see them around my head and shoulders, etc. ok, maybe i overexaggerated with a million, but i have 18 on my left FOOT alone. that's not counting my right foot of my legs or anything... can't they all just die? i mean, seriously...what are they good for? they spread disease, are annoying as all heck, hurt...why keep them around. whatever eats them can just learn to like something else...
well...i gotta get goin to work. i gave blood today (in 7 minutes, thank you very much) so hopefully it won't be too hot or anything cuz i don't particularly feel like passing out on the stand. NOT fun.
