I'm alive, I promise.

No good news to share, unless the fact that I'm alive counts. And I would hope it would!!
My daily activities leave me exhausted nearly everyday. Some days that's good, some not so much, but I refuse to complain at this point. I am taking it one day at a time.
I can't decide on a Grad school to consider. I don't know what I still want to do with my life. I do believe I need some experience in the real world first. I think I'll start at the Y or somewhere close to.
Little one is doing well. She is kind of funny now. I am constantly amused at the little things she does (not including the bossy attitude). I want to take her to the Children's museum this weekend. We shall see how it plays out.

My motor behavior class is completely pointless. All I have learned, and this class happens five hours a week- not including the time spent reading crap, is that:
1. I have no career goals in common with my peers,
2. I know nothing about sports,
3. The teacher literally thinks I am slow in the head, really,
4. And that motor behavior across lifespans is, apparently, important. I don't know why though.
I've learned a lot, huh!?
The only good thing about that class is the teacher is Fine.

Today is the last day before spring break. Haha, my logic professor despises spring break. He kept calling it stupid in class today, because we'll be out of practice in our symbolic logic. Then he realized he was saying stupid too much and told us he was going to stop saying stupid now. He is just the funniest thing. I think when this semester is over, I may possibly miss his face.

Oh my. But I guess I should point out that I have done so many extra things this semester. I have gone to many birthday parties, and even helped supervise one (a sweet 16). I have seen a ton of movies, worked by booty off (labor position), attended a week long convention, spent many many hours poured over homework, gone to dinners, church, etc...

:) I just got distracted by a fellow student, and I've lost my thought pattern.
Hopefully I will remember to update this more often.

Senior Celebration

Whoa there!
I found out today that I am a SENIOR! How frickin cool is that, and totally blog worthy.
Christina, Dreama and I decided to eat cupcakes and hang around for celebration. What better way to celebrate Seniorness?
When I found out, I first called my mom, who flipped out. :) Made me so happy. Then I tried calling Crystal, but she didn't answer so I texted my friend Matthew. (Who thought I was already one so wasn't excited at first).I have some newer pictures. I got stressed the other day and decided to play with my makeup.
It looked good so I took a picture. Well, a few pictures. Here's a hottt one:


Just Kidding!!! Here it is:


It looks so different from others, it's ok. I've taken better, but the makeup is pretty to me. :)
And for the long awaited class update (because you know it was coming). It's short term here. One class, one month. ALL month. You feel everyday of the month. I'm taking Biblical Themes: Modern Life. Don't judge me! I needed a religion perspective, and at this point I'm not going to get picky.
And I have learned so much about "the historical Jesus' compared to 'the Jesus of faith'. Interesting subject, if you ask me. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it though.
BUT, I need to teach myself a little African Jesus now, so I'm checking out!
Peace.

Green Thumb Tips

The Black thumb is slowly fading to Green! Like, just the tip, but it is a start. What? What am I talking about? UMMMM, I grew a TOMATO PLANT which is currently and will continue to produce little delicious CHERRY TOMATOES. Until it doesn't anymore.I think tomato plants can usually grow anywhere sunny, but they have NEVER been able to escape MY wrath. And now that I think about it, neither has any other species of green. The only thing I have ever, ever been able to keep alive, besides myself and my daughter is a beta that I bought from Walmart. Like, he stayed alive for a few years. No clue how though.
But he is now deceased. It was a hard death. And we are talking about my awesome GREEN TIP(tip of my thumb)...
Looking back, it really has not been easy. I really had to put Effort with a capitol E to get these plants to stay alive. When I wasn't home for some portions of the summer I had to get some friends, in this case, the Berea Missionaries to water them. In a way I feel Elder Schiefer and Elder George are one of the main reasons my tomato plant has survived!
AND Coach Johnson gave the plants to me out of his garden, which were partially grown anyway. Sooooo, I suppose I received a great opportunity to change my killing spree!
Enclosed are pictures of my very first ripe tomato. Yummy. I shared it with the missionaries for all their hard work!!

Emily

Well, My wonderful child has amazed me again. This time with her quick eye! We were visiting my parents home a few weekends ago and as we were leaving, following the pathway to the driveway she and I both saw something hopping along. It was the cutest baby frog EVER. Together we caught it(poor thing!), made it a home in a plastic container and carried it with us throughout the day. She named it Emily(not knowing whether it was male or female). A few hours after we caught it, I noticed Emily's movement had started to slow down. As in, maybe she was becoming slowly paralyzed(is this possible for a frog?). SO, we released it back into the wild.
Now she is convinced she wants a frog and a habitat to go with it...which is fine by me!!!
(See that mischievous little face? And poor little Emily between her fingers? Never had a chance!)

Throwback

I am so full of random thoughts and sometimes they are pretty fantabulous, so I am going to write (some of) them down! Here's for my first.
Mountain Dew Throwback?! I don't understand!
A month ago or so, I picked up a Mountain Dew at Walmart (just because I fell into the "trap" and it was convenient) while I was checking out and I drank it as usual. BUT, it just so happens that during that night my friend Christina and I took way silly pictures and my Mountain Dew was part of one!
I was looking through the pics trying to weed out the ugly ones and I noticed that my Mountain Dew had Throwback on it...
If it was A Mountain Dew Throwback(and not just an advertisement) that's cool because I did not taste any difference. And the only reason I even care is because some amigos at work were saying that it tasted like poo. Which would not stop me from trying it anyway, but, yeah. This is a random thought so I don't really have to go all philosophical. <3
