Well, I didn't blog all summer long and I decided to do it tonight. I worked long hours this summer and by the time I got off of work, I just wanted to sit, watch tv and fall asleep. So, the first week of cl*ss is almost over! Wow, I'm a junior this year. It seems like just yesterday I was walking timidly into my first college cl*ssroom. lol, time sure flies when your having fun...or just doing loads of homework

Well, so far, I seem to enjoy all of my cl*sses. Probably because I am done with my gen. eds. and am now taking all cl*sses that relate to my Elementary Education major. I think that this year will be a great year, especially now that I don't need to live in the dorms anymore. I have an apartment with with 3 other girls and we seem to get along just fine.

I guess I didn't really do a whole lot this summer, didn't really get hooked on any new tv shows or anything like that. Except, I did take a liking to the new ABC Family show "Greek." It's probably appealing to me because I'm actually in college and I can relate to some of the stuff that goes on. Lets see, what else?

Oh, I am definitely looking forward to going to Las Vegas in January! I'm so excited, I get to gamble and drink and have a wonderful time with my mother and grandmother. I love them so much, they are always there for me no matter what and they completely understand me.Plus, they are the coolest mom and grandma that I know! Ok, well I'm sure that there are other cool relatives out there, not just mine. lol

Anyways, that is my update! For anyone who actually enjoys reading my blogs, I am sorry that I did not update all summer. They wouldn't have been much fun to readanyhow because they would have been all about work lol. Take care everyone!

So there are only a few more days left of school. My last final is next Thursday at 8pm! I hate it when finals are that late at night, especially since it's my Math final. I am horrible at math, but I've been keeping my grade up there and I don't want to lose it now, cuz that would be a major disappointment.

Then earlier tonight my roomie for next year called and said she got into the building that we had wanted, since she was first on the waitlist and I'm second. So I told her to take it, even though it makes feel a little weird. Hopefully I will get in too, since only one more person needs to drop out and I'm in. Of course, I don't want to get my hopes up.

And then there is the issue of me getting the same job I had last summer. I got a call from them yesterday saying that they wanted me back, but now my mom might be quitting. She works there full-time. I would feel kinda weird if she quit, because I will just be starting. Oh well, I'm a big girl, it's just that I would feel weird. I don't know it's a feeling I can't explain. I'm still taking the job, regardless of what happens with my mom.

Well, have a great night everyone and take care!

You know, when the Columbine school shooting happened in 1999, I thought that would be the last of it. I thought schools would crack down on this type of stuff and they did, but those were highschools. Colleges and universities are different, they have open campuses and lots of area for psychos with guns to move around. I was in 6th grade in 1999, now I'm a sophomore in college and the world feels just like it did back then, only now I'm older and I see the world somewhat differently. However, I remember how horrified I was when I heard about Columbine and today I was just as horrified. I cannot even imagine what those students at Virginia Tech went through today. I don't understand why some people feel the need to take innocent lives, it's so senseless and just plain horrifying. Well I don't know what I can say that hasn't already been said about it, so I will leave it at that. My heart goes out to everyone in Virginia and everyone who lost a loved one today.

Anyway, on to a lighter and happier note. There are only 3 more weeks of school left! Can you believe it, my sophomore year just flew right on by. Not that I mind of course, I'm ready to be done with school for good, but I can't wait until summer! Now I just have to start getting in shape for that swimming suit. I know, I should be staying in shape all year round, but I'm a lazy girl and winter makes me lazy. I can't help it. Well, I just finished typing up a paper for my Ecology of Human Development course and I'm pretty tired, so I'm off to bed.
