The baby is FINALLY here! I am soooo excited! She weighs 7 pounds 2.8 ounces, 19 inches long, and very healthy! I can't wait to go home to see her! Too bad I have to wait all week...
And if you were wondering, things are much better from the last post. I think things will be much better between the two of us.:) |

So, Spring break was fairly uneventful. But, I don't really mind because it was very nice to just relax and not worry about anything. Especially after that crazy week before it with 4 tests.
No baby still...we all tried telling her to come out, but that didn't work out too well. lol. She's just as stubborn as the rest of her family! So, we're still on baby watch and I keep checking my phone like 20 times a day. Maybe she'll actually come on her due date, which happens to be the only weekend for the rest of the semester that I can come home. That would be perfect! But, we all know things just don't happen the way we want them too.
Anywho...since my past week was very uneventful (besides stalking mmmrice...lol), I don't have much else, so I shall try to do something productive. |

So, Toby Keith=AMAZING! The concert was soo much fun! He played the best songs, and Joe Nichols opened for him. :)
Anywho...Been a long time since I updated. I've been extremely busy. I decided that for some reason it would be a good thing to join another group here on campus...lol. It's a national honor sociey in Psychology, so it will be very beneficial for me. And I'm very excited to be a part of it.
Sister still has not had the baby. She's not due til March 26th, but I'm hoping that it will happen over Spring Break...lol. Yea, that's probably not going to happen, but I can wish I guess. I just want to be able to be there when she does give birth. I feel like I'm missing out on so much with the family. It's really starting to effect me, but I gotta do what I gotta do.
Classes are going alright I guess...could be doing better, but I think I took on too many classes this semester, so it's definitely harder to keep up. I have 4 tests this week, so I will not have a life until Thursday night. But then I will be off for a week and I will be very happy to do nothing!
This past weekend I also had a choir concert in Saginaw and we sang a bunch of songs from one composer, and sang it for her. It was pretty cool because we sang with an older women's choir and with an orchestra, so I enjoyed it. After the concert, the woman who stood next to me said I had a beautiful voice, so that made me happy.:)
Well, I think that's about it for now...gotta study my life away for the next 4 days.
If anyone wants to hang out over break, call me! |

Well, this weekend was pretty good I guess. I had to work pretty much all weekend, which sucked, but it's money. I actually stayed in every night, so no parties for me. I was way too exhausted by the time that came around. I did go out to dinner with Meg and her family for her birthday dinner. That was fun. We went to Mountain Town Station, which I had never been to. It was pretty good.
Oh yes...Next month Scott and I are going to the Toby Keith concert at the Palace! I am very excited for that. The only bad thing is that I have a choir concert in Saginaw the next day, so we have to be back up here ASAP. Oh well...its Toby Keith.
Other than that...nothing else exciting.
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby, or leave me |

Hello All! It's been a very long time since I actually updated this thing about my life. I figured I might try to keep up on it, but seeing as how I have an extremely busy semester, I'm not too sure how that's going to work out. So Christmas Break was fun. I got to hang out with some friends and also went on a vacation to Las Vegas with the family. And by family I mean like 12 people. Scott went with us, so it was a lot of fun. If anyone wants to see pictures let me know!
Anyhow, the semester is starting alright I guess. I have 19 credits this semester, which is more than I've had in the past semesters. I am also still involved in SAI and in NSCS. And on top of all that, I will be working 29 hours every two weeks. So needless to say, I am not going to have a whole lot of free time this semester. I hope I'll be getting some visitors though! Ones that will actually come when they say they will! lol...jk Mike!
Oh yea, I forgot to mention that my sister got married and is going to have a baby in March! I am very excited to be an Aunt! And for those of you who know how tiny my sister is, it is a very funny site! But she is cute and very happy, so therefore I am happy!
Other than that, life is normal. Scott and I are still together for those of you who don't know. He's going to be busy this semester as well, so we might not be able to see a whole lot of each other. :( But at least he is at the same school as me.
Well, I think that is it for now...hopefully you'll hear from me soon!
P.S. I love how I talk like a million people read this. Oh well... |

As I sit in class
listening to Quirk ramble
about OCD and psychopaths
I wonder if I can do this
Test after test
Paper after paper
It never ends
Is it all worth it?
The answer I believe is yes.
Can I handle it?
Not so sure about that one...
Sometimes I wish I could be more efficient, more on the ball.
I wish I felt competent. I wish I wouldn't get so stressed out.
But I do.
I know what I want to do, and I what I want my life to be, and what my goals are, but I feel like I'm incompetent. Like I'll never be what I want of myself.
And yet, I still go through the motions.
Taking class after class
Test after test
Writing paper after paper
If only effort really did mean success... |

So, I tend to not keep up on this thing as much as I say I'm going to. Oh well. Anyway, everything has been good. I have a 4.0 in my class and I am still working. My hours at Gill Roy's got cut back a little because my manager's got a reprimand for too much payroll which sucks. I would have been getting a lot more money than last summer, but now I am going to start working at the Genessee Forensic Center again. That's the psychologist's office I worked at last summer, so that should help. I'd be working Monday's and Friday mornings I think and that would be perfect. The only thing is that I have to work every other Monday at the hardware, but hopefully I can switch someone so it will all work out.
The past two weekends I have gone down to Scott's and it has been soo amazing. Isn't it crazy how much closer you seem to get when you are further away? But, we are better than ever and he is coming up to Davison tonight! Two weeks ago, I surprised him at work and spent the night during the week. It was the first time we had seen each other since school ended so he was extremely happy and surprised. That same weekend I went down again for our first country concert at DTE. It was Brad Paisley, Teri Clark and Reba McIntire. Brad was AMAZING. It rained, but we had pavilion seats, so it wasn't so bad. This past weekend we went to Clay Walker and it was a little crazy. But everything turned out ok. We had a very eventful weekend. We went to the St Mary's fair which was a lot of fun. It was sooo much better than St Johns Festival of Flags. Unfortunately Scott made me go on the Ring of Fire and I absolutely hated it, so after that I wasn't in much of a fair ride mood. Other than that, we spent a lot of time with his friends which was a lot of fun and I finally learned how to play euchre! I know what everyone is thinking....."You live in Michigan and didn't know how to play euchre?!?!" lol...yes that's right...i just learned..but I'm definitely not very good, so if you are ever my partner, I apologize now!
I still haven't hung out with a lot of people since I've been home. I can't figure out if I like that or don't. I like being at home and relaxing, but I know it's going to start to get old. Unfortunately, I never know when anything is going on, and not many people call me anymore. Chris calls occasionally, but not as much as I thought he would. I thought we would be hanging out a lot this summer, but so far that hasn't happened. I know its partly my fault because I don't really stop over there as much as I used to, but I guess I've just been too lazy to get up off my fat ass and get myself over there...lol.
Well, I'm sure there's stuff that I forgot in this post, but I'm sure I'll remember later...hope everyone's having an awesome summer!!!! |

Well, I am back home finally! It's been a week since I've been home and I am very happy to be back. School is fun and all, but there is nothing like home. I started work the second day back and I'm getting a lot more hours than I used to so I am happy. I am also taking classes at Mott. One in spring semester and one in summer. So I have class Tuesday and Thursday from 10 to 1. It sounds horrible, but it's actually kinda fun. There are some very interesting people in there. So, that's pretty much all I do is work and go to class. I haven't hung out much with friends. I went to the musical with Chris and Phil and we met the rest of the fam and Becky there. It was a pretty good musical, and it was nice to see everyone. After the musical, we went to the cast party for a while, then went back to the Steven's to have a fire. It was fun. But, other than that, I have spent every night at home with my parents. I don't mind...it's very relaxing.
So, my grandma bought a new car today and now I get her old Lumina which I am excited for. It has a cd player, cup holders and its an automatic!(if you know my car, then you would share my excitement!) It is also very very big, which is good! So, this summer I am going to drive my little Capri around a little to get good use of the convertible, and then its lumina time.
I still haven't seen Scott since I've been home, and I won't be able to see him until next weekend. He is working full time, so he doesn't have much time off, so I won't be seeing much of him this summer. I'm sad, but I know it will be ok. This is the first time we will be apart this long...and its kinda weird. But, I'll just try to keep busy and hopefully time will pass fast.
I got my grades today too, and I'm not too happy with them. I passed all my classes, which was all I could ask for at the end of the semester. I'm frustrated because I know I could have done better, but everyone keeps saying I did well. I just have a high standard for myself I guess!
Well, that's it for now! I'm not online much anymore, so if anyone wants to get a hold of me....call me! 810 602 0190 I have lots of free time! :) |

So, it's been a very busy past couple of weeks. Everything for SAI is finished...Saturday us MITs went to a senior citizen's home and sang for them. It was really fun and we got them to sing with us too! Then right after that we had initiation, so now we are all officially sisters! yay! So my first real meeting as a sister is tomorrow night. I never hung out with my bigs, but whatever. They got me a t-shirt that says "SAI" on it. They also said they have more for me on tuesday cause they feel bad about not hanging out. But, I know they are busy.
So, last thursday I went out to the Funhouse with Scott. Kerry ended up coming and Kelli and her friend were in Mt. P and they came too! It was so good to see them again. I miss them sooooo much! I can't wait until next year when Kelli is at Central! yay!
Then Friday I went to class and then worked til 8. Then Scott and I went to On The Rox....I love them! They are soo much fun to watch. And considering more than half of them are my SAI girls, I had to go see them! Everyone should go to their next concert...they're amazing!
Saturday I got up early b/c my parents came to pick up a bunch of stuff. Then I did all my SAI stuff. Then I was supposed to drive down to Wixom for Scott's Passover dinner, but since it was snowing and crap, my parents didn't want me to drive, so his mom came and picked us up. Then Scott and I went out and hung out with his friends and played Marble Mayhem. It's a very fun game, but it frustrates me too much...lol. Then we went back to his house and I slept for 11 hours. That felt AMAZING! I haven't slept that much in a looonnng time. Then we all went to dinner and I met his whole family. It was very fun, but they were speaking in Hebrew and I felt a little weird. But they all made me feel very welcome. Then Scott's mom and dad drove us all the way back up here in crappy weather and we didn't get back until 12. I felt bad that we made her drive, but at the same time, I was sooo happy I didn't have to drive.
Well, that was my weekend. Last week, I also went to the doctor b/c I thought I was possibly coming down with strep throat. Basically I didn't get a call back so that means I didn't have it. But, they still gave me a prescription for penicillin to take for 10 days, so I've been taking that and I feel much better.
Well, that's my life for now....I will update again soon....maybe:) |

So today has been exremely shitty...I feel like I just want to give up....on everything. Sometimes I think that would just make everything better. I wish I didn't care so much about things. I wish things didn't bother me as much as they do. But they do....and sometimes I just keep it all inside until I break down....and that day was today.
I just feel like I don't belong anywhere. I feel like no one wants to be around me ever....and that's a horrible feeling. Then again...I could just be over-exaggerating everything. I don't know.
School is not helping this much either....I don't have an A in any of my classes....I think the highest grade I have is a B. There is no way I am going to get a 3.2 to renew my scholarship...and I feel bad b/c that's the only scholarship I have and my parents are going to be soo disappointed. I hate disappointing them.
Speaking of parents....for some reason everytime I say something is wrong with me, my mom's first question is "Are you pregnant?" WTF! Jesus christ....that's all I have to say. I can't even explain my thoughts/feelings toward that.
I can't wait until summer... |

Well, I'm in a much better mood now....everything just seemed to all pile up at once, and I was just very frustrated at things. Everything will be better once summer starts. Granted I'll still have school to frustrate me b/c I'm taking summer classes, but at least it won't be as much.
So, I put red highlights in my hair...well actually Meg put them in. I really like it actually....it's not like bright red, it's like an auburn and it blends in pretty well.
On another note....I took my membership exam for SAI and I passed with flying colors! I was very excited. All of us MITs have to put on a musicale for the members, which is this sunday. We've been practicing and I can tell it's going to be tons of fun. All the girls are hilarious and I love hanging out with them! I heart you girls!! We're also going to a senior citizens home to sing for them on sunday. It's just going to be a fun SAI day! lol
I'm also going home this friday to pick up my clothes for Initiation. Erica is going home too, so I'm just riding with her. We're coming back saturday and taking the long way so we can do some shopping! Yay!
Well, I am off to go eat dinner before class....muah!:) |

It is sooo nice outside today and it's supposed to get to 66 degrees! It's about damn time..that's what I think! It's supposed to rain today/tonight, but I don't care. I'm just happy it's getting warmer.
Well, Easter was fun. I got to hang out with some D-town homies. Friday night was interesting, but I don't feel like telling the story. Basically, Chris told us some news that everyone had a reaction to...especially one person. Then there was a whole bunch of crazyness, a walk and talk, and then a bunch of us left, so the party died. Oh well, everyone else was drunk, so I'm sure they still had a good time! And I ended up fitting 4 people(besides me) in my car. That was very interesting, but it worked out pretty well.
Saturday I went shopping with my mom and grandma, went grocery shopping with my mom, and then Mike came over and fixed my printer. I'm so excited you fixed it! Thank you soooo much! And then, right after Mike left, my dad fixed my mouse...so now everything works again! YAY! Then, for the rest of the day, I just lounged and read some for Geography(til 3 in the morning...gah!)
Sunday was Easter and dinner was fantastic! After dinner, I waited for Scott to come, and then after a couple hours of talking to his parents and watching the end of the State game(which lasted forever I might add) we left to come back to school. I hate driving in the dark, but since I had company, I didn't mind so much.
Speaking of Scott, our six month anniversary was last tuesday. I can't believe it's been that long already, but it's been great. We have so much fun together and he always makes me laugh! He's just as silly as I am, and it cracks me up! Love you hunny!
Well, there is 5 weeks left in school, and I can not wait! Summer is going to be so much fun. Hopefully, Chris will be in Davison, so we can get our v-ball on! I'm also going to a bunch of country concerts with my hunny...which I am VERY excited for!:) Hopefully, we can go to the beach more often this summer...and a Cedar Point trip is much needed. Thankfully, I got my Gill Roy's job back for the summer! I'm also going to be taking two summer classes at Mott, so my summer is going to be very busy. But, that's how my life has always been, so I think I can deal with it!
Well, I better go outside and enjoy this B-E-A-utiful day! :) |

So, not much happened since I last posted. St. Patty's day was interesting and fun. Then I got sick...lol. Oh well. I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. We started the night in our room, eating jello shots and playing P and A. Then we went to Nick's. Shortly after we got there I was way too drunk and started feeling sick. So Scott and I came back to my room.
I also had to work all weekend which sucks as always, but at least I'm getting money. I'll be getting more money starting in april, because we are going to be starting new, later hours. yay! What I really need, however is a job for the summer. I thought about maybe interning in DC, but most of the internships are for sophomores and above. And I just don't feel like doing that yet. So, maybe next summer. I really need to go to Gill Roy's in Davison to see if they will take me back. eek. I don't know if they will, but it's worth a try.
Well, I am going home this weekend for Easter. I wish I didn't have to come back, but oh well. I hate school right now and all of my teachers are starting to piss me off. Well, actually only my two foreign ones. ugghhh. I'll make it through though. My dad decided to tell me that if I got a 3.2 this semester, he would buy me an I-Pod. He was very drunk when he said it, but I am going to make him hold up on his deal...lol. Yea..that's a whole different story which I just don't feel like telling, but basically he was very drunk and was hilarious.
I don't know if I'll get a 3.2 this semester, but I'm sure as hell gonna try! lol
So, I saw the Ring 2 Friday night, and it was good. I was scared shitless, but I heard not many people liked it. Oh well, I did. There are also a bunch of scary movies coming out too. Some of them look very good and I want to see them. Hopefully they will live up to the hype.
Well, I'm done ranting my boring life for the day....I'll write more when something more interesting happens. |

So, I haven't updated in a while, and I am trying to avoid writing a paper at all cost, so here I am.
Spring Break was fun. I went home and hung out with Scott pretty much the whole time. He tried to surprise me by taking me to Frankenmuth for a night, but I found out about it. We went still, and had a great time. It was a lot of fun. We played a bunch of games and swam.
I also did some shopping while I was home. My Grandma took me the first hour I came back. We went to Marshall Fields, and I usually don't find a lot of things there that I like. But, of course I found a ton of stuff, so my grandma got it for me. She spent over $200 on me! I wasn't expecting it, but I was very grateful. Mostly I got a bunch of shirts. I finally got some more club shirts, so I don't have to wear the same thing every time I go. lol
I also got to spend some time with my best buds....Rebekah and Chris. We didn't get to hang out a lot since both of them were working most of break, but at least I got to see them. I also got to spend some time with the fam, which was much needed.
I'm not sure if I posted this already, but I am pledging for a sorority. As I write it, it kinda makes me laugh, but it is soooo much fun! It's a singing sorority, and we are doing so much fun stuff. We are going to sing at a senior citizens home, and we are putting on a rose musicale for all the sisters. The theme is SNL and it is going to be so much fun. I can't wait. We also have to take a test to be able to be a sister, and I'm kinda worried about that. I've been studying it for a while, and the test isn't until April 3rd, but we have to remember a lot of stuff. But I think I can do it.
There was other stuff that happened since my last post, but I can't remember any of it right now, and there was too much, so I am done....but I will try to post more often now!
:)....Love ya! |
