guess what

this is where i'm headed for my job this summer. hope it's ready for me!!

top o' the mornin'

well, part irish anyways.
just wanted to say HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!



and to acknowledge that i'm two days away from finding out...






...about a summer job

hmm...tastes like blood...

so i'm not sure how many of you are aware of the books called the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer...however i am practically in love with them. (if you're curious here's the website stepheniemeyer.com)
it's about a girl that falls in love with a vampire and how it changes her life around, etc. etc. (my sister in law lisa michelle wrote about this on her family blog, just so you know i'm not the only one that got addicted. you can check her little blurb about it here) so a couple months ago it was posted on the website that summit entertainment have bought the rights to turn these books into movies, heaven bless them. i don't think this could get any better for me. filming started this month but the only cast they had were the 2 main characters. UNTIL this past weekend, when they FINALLY posted pictures of the rest of the vampire family. it's hard to read a book and form pictures of the characters in your mind, so at first i was a little heartbroken and didn't agree with the actors they chose. however, they are slowly starting to grow on me... the guy in front may look a little familiar to you harry potter fans, as he is the one that plays cedric diggory in the fourth movie.
so now, the countdown begins. the movie comes out in december and the fourth book comes out in august. this is probably going to be the sweetest year ever!!!

and remember: the world is a VAMPIRE!!
later dudes

let's hope

so this is a picture from the glorious day of finding out katy and micah were engaged. this is only minutes before i figured it out...racing the sophinator at chuck e. cheese's!! she totally kicked my trash...
but on another note: so i got a call this morning at about 9 o'clock. this woman on the end was telling me she was from gold's gym or some place like unto it (and right there i was like heck no, don't want it!) however she continued to explain that i had won something, having entered my name in some forgotten contest. so i was like okay...? i proceeded to listen as she proceeded to talk. i could pick between a trip for two, all expenses paid to anaheim or las vegas OR a forty dollar gift card to home depot, best buy, dillard's, kohl's or some other places that i forgot. so clearly i picked the trip. betsy is currently accepting it for me (the place is up in south jordan, how convenient is that?!?!?) so i'll know all the details by later tonight and hopefully it's not a big hoax (the lady said no strings attached...) keep your fingers crossed for me!!!

yeah...about that

so technically i shouldn't be writing this right now seeing as i'm in class. however (mom and dad this point is for you) it has not STARTED yet. i figured i'd give a quick update as to what i've been up to.
tomorrow i officially declare my major. so as to not embarrass dad i dare not give you the full name of it. however it is recreation management: emphasis in youth leadership. minoring in non-profit management. heck yes. i'm hoping i get to work with youth, or at least that's my goal. in one of our classes today we actually had someone come in and discuss some opportunities for service that would lean towards what i want to do. sweet dizzle!!
life's good. work and school consume my days and i'm actually staying up to date with my homework and everything. hope it stays that way...
have a great day, cuz that's about all i have time for....

6?!!?

um, so i have to list 6 habits or facts about myself in response to carrie's tag. sorry it took me a while. so here goes....
1. i like movies too much for my own good. it's not a healthy habit. and i like a lot of movies, but i do not actually have a favorite.
2. i play with my bottom lip when i get nervous or bored. it tends to weird some people out but whatever...
3. i have had a headache (some worse than others) almost every day since eighth grade. i went to a regular doctor and a neurologist for it. proof, once again, that doctors don't know as much as they like to think they do.
4. my favorite color is called brick red. it's something i discovered back in elementary school and was literally the crayon i used mostest. in fact the color i'm currently writing in is pretty much brick red.
5. back at home in woburn, sometimes when i got mad i would hide so when mom came looking for me she couldn't find me. i'd come out when i knew if i didn't show up i'd be in even more trouble. i had to change up a few places just to keep it lively.
6. before i can use something new, i have to make sure the old one is used up. like chapstick or a pen. i don't know why but it bugs the heck out of me. i also like to use the same pen for a certain class (like for my rec management classes i use red, i refuse to use any other color). it's just one of those things.

anyone i might have considered tagging has already been tagged. so, go read everyone else's blogs to find more about them.
x's and o's!

so...

well people, i am not exciting. i don't have pictures to show you so i don't know why you would look at my blog. no pictures, no excitement. but hey i'll try to improvise. so here goes.
since september life has become a bit more hectic. lots of work for school. i'm keeping up pretty well so i'm hoping the rest of the semester goes well. i'm pretty sure on my major now and i'm working on planning for the rest of my school life. even taking a class that does field observations that allows us to see s0me of our career options for our major. pretty nifty.
i'm also looking into a job in alaska in hopes i can make some good money so i can pay for a study abroad to new zealand. i've been talking to a couple people about it and learning some specifics to see if it will be worth it to work up in alaska. we'll see.................................................................

sadly, i will not be joining most of the family out here for thanksgiving. i have to work thanksgiving day as well as the day after. talk about a way to ruin a vacation. oh well, working won't kill me. thankfully i was able to visit nicole and chris a couple of weeks ago with katy micah and jamie so i won't be missing out on too much. i think.

so i'm just working on school stuff as of late. there's a chance i might be right on schedule, even a little ahead of it. sweet dizzle.
anyways, have a great day. sorry about no pictures but that's how it goes.
