HERE I AM! Just as I promised! You're in for it, so prepare
yourself.
Let me see…spring break was two weeks ago? While on break I
painted and painted and painted our house. Painted the kitchen (which I showed
you), painted our computer room, hallway, and all of the bedroom doors in the
hallway (which consisted of 6 total). Wood doors do not take to white paint
very well. Did 3 coats on each door and they're still streaky. Oh well…I'm over
it! They look decent and white if you don’t stare at them up close ;) That
weekend we bought a new entertainment center and lamp for the living room. Our
house looks so much better now than it did a month ago and I'm thrilled!
The next weekend we went camping again <3
I had been
working on making a digital story for one of my classes and we were assigned to
do it about us. Either a short story about ourselves or something that has
changed us, so I decided to do mine about camping! I needed some extra shots,
so it was convenient that the weather was perfect to go camping that weekend
because it was due on Sunday! I got what I needed and we had a fantastical
time. Anyways...here's my digital story!
I can't wait to go again! We'll only have one more chance
before hunting season officially ends on April 21st. I really wanted
to go this weekend but Easter is on Sunday and we have to be home for family
breakfast and dinner. Bummerrrrr. Especially because the weather this weekend
is supposed to be like PERFECT. Not to mention on the backend of the full moon
which always means the animals are out and about! Ugh. Oh well. Hopefully there
will be another beautiful weekend coming up soon! Speaking of full moons…I just
looked at a full moon calendar for the year to see when it would be full next
month (just to see if we could get in our camping trip around then, but it's
too late). Howeverrrrr, the date for June's full moon is ON MY BIRTHDAY! Happy
birthday to me, from the moon! Eeeep!
In other news…my sister is EIGHT WEEKS AWAY from her due
date. EIGHT WEEKS PEOPLE! That little boy is going to be here so soon, but it
doesn't quite feel real! I can't believe I'm going to be an aunt! I'm going to
have a little nephew! Her baby shower is in just a couple weeks and it should
be interesting…to say the least! My mother has had control of planning the
entire thing. She asked if I wanted to help and I said no…only because I'm
pretty busy with school…and the fact that I pretty much planned/hosted her
entire bridal shower (which was fun), but it kind of sucked because I didn't really
get to hang out or participate in the games! So I'm looking forward to this one
more because I'll get to enjoy it and hang out with everyone more!
School is going well. I have A's in both of my online
classes and currently have an A in my math class, but I'm a little worried
about that grade dropping in the upcoming week. We have our second (and last)
test on fractions next Monday and I'm not too sure how good I'm going to do. We
had a homework assignment on it and I got it back today and got 14/24. Not very
good…I'm hoping after class on Wednesday I'll feel a little bit better about it
all. I guess we'll see.
I'm in the process of registering for summer (and hopefully
fall) courses. I've had my classes for both semesters in my "shopping
cart" for about a month now. Had it all planned out…3 online classes in
the summer and 4 classes in the fall, 3 on campus and 1 online. But when I went
to register on my "registration appointment" time (at 9:00 PM), one
of my classes for the summer is closed (which means there aren't any more seats
available), and the other I had to get permission for. So right meow I'm only
technically registered for ONE CLASS this summer which is NOT OKAY. I emailed
my advisor for some help and she directed me to some other person about the
class I needed permission for. She was very helpful and told me that the class
is actually unavailable to register for at all right now, until April 4th.
Then on April 4th, she claims I won't need permission to register
for it. Hmm. We'll see about that. As for the other class, I'm not sure what
I'm going to do about it. It's closed right now and there isn't a wait list for
me to get on (which is stupid and sucky). There was only one other time for it,
on the main campus, but it was until like 3:50 which wouldn't have worked since
I have to be at work by 2. It doesn't even matter now because that one is
closed too. I don't know what I'm going to do about it. I really don't want to have to add it to my already full schedule for
the fall because I'm afraid that it would take a toll on my grades. I mean, I
guess if I have no choice, all I can do is try my very best. If it's anything
like the class I'm in now (I say this because they're both TSL courses), I
think I might be able to handle it, especially if I can take it online. Only
time will tell, I suppose.
This past weekend was nice. I spent the majority of the
afternoon on Saturday doing my own thing. I laid in the sun for about an hour
and got a nice start to my tan. Then I worked in the yard for another hour (and
got some more sun that turned into a slight sunburn…oops!). After I got cleaned
up, I went to Savannah's little sister's birthday party for a little bit. When
I got home, I spent the remainder of the evening with my V and it was
wonderful. On Sunday, we went out to the coast in the morning and visited some
manatees at Haulover canal <3
Manatee noses!
We got home in time to relax a bit before a nasty storm
rolled through. I don't know why, but something told me to bring all of our
patio furniture into the screened porch and I'm thankful that I did, otherwise
it would have been a huge mess in the backyard! This fast-moving storm came
through and gave us some nasty rain, thunder, lightning and HAIL! It blew down
part of our fence, and knocked down one of our neighbor's trees. It fell right
into the road and blocked like 75% of our street. No one lives in the house, so
I took it upon myself to figure out who to call to get it out of the road.
Within an hour of calling the appropriate persons, the cops showed up and got
to work. I'm not quite sure what they did, but a fire truck came by too. The
cop car was still outside when we went to bed (like 5 hours later), and when I
woke up this morning to leave for school, all they did was move it into the
driveway of the house it was in front of. There's still a ton of debris in the
road which I'm not impressed with. I don't know why they couldn't take the
extra like 30 minutes and sweep all the shit up. Whatevs, I guess I should just
be happy they moved it out of the street!
Work has been great lately. I'm so happy with this job. I
think the only thing that could make it better is if I was making a bit more
money. I really can't complain though because I don't get paid too terribly for
sitting on my ass, answering phone calls that come in periodically (especially
towards the end of the day), and occasionally booking a conference room or two.
I started watching The Vampire Diaries on Netflix at work
and I've fallen in love! It's like Twilight, but with a bit of a different
plot, different characters, and a tv show instead of a movie (so it's longer
and more detailed). It's quite good though! It's a nice break after doing
homework for 3 hours. Only 4 more weeks left in this semester and then I'm free
for like 2 weeks before the summer semester starts! Woooooo! On that note, I'm
going to bid you adieu. Until next time (which will hopefully be sooner rather
than later).
