Save the Drama for your Mama

Surprise, surprise- all girl school has drama. I thought drama here would bother me, but I have a group of awesome friends and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

I'm extremely excited for Spring Formal- My boyfriend and I are going out to dinner and to the formal with a group of about 20 people, and we're going to have a BLAST. I can not wait.
I applied for a job that is going to be at Meredith over the summer- it's a 3 week counselor position for a program where Chineese students stay on campus and do different activities and even take a trip to Washington DC! and everything is paid for AND it pays $1,200. Not to get my hopes up, but i'm really excited about that.
I have my rooming plans for next semester and I go Tuesday night to sign up for my room- i'm excited about that too. My roommate && my suitemate are amazing people, and not to mention one of my bff's from Ground Poteat is going to be the RA! So hopefully we get on her floor ::crosses fingers::
Scott, my boyfriend, signed the lease on his appartment! I'm so excited for him.

My grandparents said they would give him furniture for his living room, and his dad is giving him a bedroom set, and his parents gave him a tv- he has almost everything he needs! I am really hoping that I can live with him this summer and get a job in Raleigh, but I found out that my grandparents might be selling my car, which really stinks. So i'm PRAYING that they give me the chance to stay here and get a job and even if I average 20 hours a week I can make enough to give my grandparents a car payment and help Scott with his rent and stuff. I'm really hoping things work out- I've been stressing about it A LOT. I want to stay in Raleigh- I hate my hometown. I'd visit my family but I just don't want to stay there an entire summer.
Hopefully everything works out.
I can't believe freshman year is almost over!
Let's just hope it goes out with a bang!

I Think I'm Bad at This.

I can not keep up with a blog. I suppose it's not required to post a new one EVERY day, but the many, many people who are trying to keep up with my life are having a hard time because of me being so slack (sarcasm). Well I suppose for those just dying to know what happened with me this weekend, I can be the one to tell you it was AWESOME. Friday night was the Meredith and a Movie showing of The Princess and the Frog- adorable! I went to dinner at the fabulous BDH and went to the movie afterwards. Down right cute. Afterwards, me and two friends(one new which is always good) decided to make blueberry muffins at midnight- not a good idea for the first floor parlor of Poteat. around 12:45am, the smoke detector went off- thank GOD I'm the fire marshall for my floor (again, sarcasm). That gave me a minor heart attack, but all in good fun.
Saturday morning I got up bright and early, which is not normal for me, to see Scott's little sister's cheer competition. They got 2nd place, but was DEFINATELY cheated- their coach is going to talk to the judges so they will review the tapes. thank god.
Afterwards, Scott and I went to a sports restaurant in downtown Raleigh- Tobacco Road Cafe; it was amazing. And by amazing I mean what Scott ordered was amazing, mine was just ok. Ice skatine at the Ice Plex was next. It was awesome as well. It was Scott's first time and my 2nd or 3rd. Although it was packed, it was loads of fun.

I feel very choppy with my sentences? But anyways, after Ice skating we went back to Scott's house where I got a nice nap that was very much needed, then we made our own dinner, and went to see Cop Out which was HILARIOUS. I definately recommend everyone see that movie. So that concludes my Saturday, today (Sunday) we went to the Circus! Gosh it was soooo much fun. I met some of the clowns and our seats weren't that bad either!

Then we just spent the rest of the day hanging out in the dorm room and in the parlor. All in all- Fantastic weekend.

More Distractions, Please.

As another day passes I realize how much I rely on the internet. If I'm not watching NCIS(which so happens to be the BEST SHOW OF ALL TIME), sudying(not as often as I probably should), or with my boyfriend(which isn't hard to tell that that is where the majority of my time goes), I'm constantly browsing the web, mostly on facebook, killing time and procrastinating. You think it would bother me that I have my entire future to be considering right now, being in college and all, but no- I waste countless hours on Facebook "liking" this and "joining" that. And as if I need another distraction, I'm constantly thinking about my junior year when I will be able to move off campus at Meredith and get an appartment with my boyfriend, Scott, and how that will work financially. I will have my car with me next semester, but the thought of driving in Raleigh makes me sick to my stomach. In high school everyone talks about how they can't wait to get out and move to "bigger and better things" and get on with their lives, but now--I want everything to

Food For Thought

     I can't say I've ever really blogged before, but from what I understand it it just a way to get out what you want to say and be heard by those who want to listen. Be that as it may, I just like to babble occasionally; although it's not always pointless. I am on facebook, you can find me here. If I don't know you, I wont add you . But as for now, some "Food For Thought."
     I went to the mall today, and I must say all the Christmas decorations are beautiful, but does anyone care to give Thanksgiving a chance? Here it is a full 8 days from Thanksgiving, which just so happens to bee my favorite holiday EVER, and the christmas decorations are already out. Pay no mind, although, to those who choose to leave theirs up all year round, they do not matter.
     As a freshman I am "recommended" to take this course "FYE" which is First Year Experience and today we discussed relationships and what make them healthy and how and why we should maintain them. A few interesting topics came up that I never really thought about. So if you are questioning a relationship of which you are a part the this next paragraph might interest you. If not, please feel free to scroll right past it :)
     There are many forms of abuse. Of course everyone knows that-physical and emotional being the most common. The woman that talked with us today, Candice something, discussed being threatened in ways such as "If you don't don XXX (whatever pertains to our situation not meaning porn or anything) then I'm going to leave you" or "why do you choose these things over me?" and such. These shows that the person with whom you are in a relationship is trying to keep control over you and is thinking only about him/herself. It seems sort of "duhh" but when you're in the situation, most people don't worry about things like that and do what he/she are told. I say he/she because I wouldn't dare say that men are the only ones who put these situations out there, contrary to common belief. Not that I have anything to worry about in my relationship, because mine is just dandy(insert awwww), I just thought these were some interesting facts to put on the table.
     My student planner has these random quotes for every week and I find them to be quite cute and sometimes inspirational, so I think I shall share this week'd quote: "To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe."-Anatole France. Don't know who he is? I didn't either, so I googled him. He was a French poet and journalist who ended up writing quite a few novels. He received Nobel Prize in 1921 to sum it up.
     As it is coming up to the end of the semester, I am getting quite anxious about finals. Who isn't though right? I am ezpecially nervous about my Calculus exam because I really REALLY REALLY RELLY need to pass that exam. If I don't ace it, I will probably have to take Calculus over again. That just sucks to think about. Even though I am not doing well at all, at least I can say I'm not doing well and I have taken advantage of all the extra help and studying I could possible do AND I haven't missed a single class, which is more than I can say for quite a few girls in my class yes they STILL PASS EVERYTHING. That just urks my nerves. I guess it just comes easier to them. It is what it is.
     The time has come for yet more studying, and probably dinner with my roommate after she does her Photography presentation (good luck Brittnay!). And yes, my roommate and I have the same name haha.    To Do Today: Spend a little extra time studying for that class you know you need to study for but just don't have the encouragement to do; it will pay off in the end! <3
