Blahhh. Being sick is no fun. I'm coughing up a lung here. Good thing I have my Riiiccoollaaa. Right now I should be working on my paper due on Monday. I also have a test on Monday I should be studying for. I'm procrastinating like whoa. I just want to relax today though. Thank gooddddd the semester is almost over!
I have to say that the last few days have been the best I've had in the last few weeks. I realized that I can do better. And that I deserve better. I know I'm a better person for what has happened. If that's how some people are going to treat me, I don't need them. I have so many people who actually care about me and are there for me when I need them (and I of course will be there for them, too). I'm not going to let this stop me from enjoying my life. I'm not going to stop putting my trust in other people unless they give me reason to not to (which some people have). I'm moving on.
Thanksgiving yesterday was pretty good. One of the more enjoyable family gatherings I've been to. No one asked me what happened, I ate until I thought I'd puke, and I got to play a fun game of yahtzee with the family. Plus I didn't have to work, always a plus.
Plan for today? Nothing. lol. Watching movies and relaxing. Maybe getting something to eat with Ruth later, and seeing what everyone else is up to?
PS; I have never enjoyed calc so much. hahaha. :] |

I just finished my paper for comp, so I'd thought I'd update. :]
I'm basically going to be dead after this next weekend. Or more like week.
Yesterday: School all day, than had a NM meeting until 11. Than I dropped off the calc book at Pat's. Is it wierd that I'll use any excuse lately just to see him for a little bit? Even if it's just to drop off our calc book, I just want to see him lol. Then I went to bed after that.
Today: I just finished the paper I have to write. I need to go get scrapbooking stuff, white shoes, and a bunch of other things that I need for the next few weeks. I did a load of laundry. I have readings I should probably do.I should work on my scrapbook pages. I have to go to a mixer tonight that I don't really want to go to. It doesn't even start until 9. I'd much rather be with the girls watching Grey's and getting things done. I'm planning on leaving early.
Friday: I have class from 1130-1220. Then I'm going to this new member summit for a little bit. Then I have to work from 4 to 1145. I'm missing out shopping and a movie with some girls from my soc. class which I'm bummed about. It'll be a long night because HSM3 is coming out. Blahhhh.
Saturay: The Michigan v. State game! I'm excited for this one. I'll be out in Ann Arbor all day. Then after I have to go the New Member sleep over which I'm excited about but I'm bummed that I'm going to miss out on going to a haunted house with friends. :[ I won't get any sleep that night...
Sunday: I have to go from the sleepover, with no sleep, to work. 10-6. Then I'm going to go home and do homework and watch the Amazing Race and Desperate Housewives and go to bed as soon as they're over.
Monday: School alllll day. Than an active meeting at 9 until whenever that gets out.
Tuesday: I work 10:15-4. Then after I actually have time to relax/get more gear done!!
I'm learning time management skills. |

I've been sucking down water all morning. I'm giving blood later and I'm terrified. I have had to pee 3 times since I got up at 10.
But things have been going ok.
My laptop broke last weekend. HUGE bummer. Hopefully it'll be fixed and on it's way home very soon. This past month (WEEK) has been super stressful. I stressed out hardcore about getting my paddle done, but I really didn't have too much to worry about. It didn't take nearly as long as I had anticipated, and I finished early. :] I liked the way it turned out. The big/lil dinner Sunday night was SO fun. :] I can't wait for November 1st. I've been stressing out and I just can't wait for everything settle down so I can relax. Though I have to say, this morning has been super relaxing. I woke up at 10, watched Desperate Housewives, and started a paper (not that this is relaxing, but it hasn't been bad haha).
Getting the chance to watch Grey's on Thursday with Jess, Colette, and Shannon on Thursday was so good. I love those girls, and I hate that it's so hard to hang out lately. :/
Saturday was good, too. A bunch of people went over to Pat's to watch some football. Michigan lost, but so did State, so it's ok. We couldn't find a haunted house, but we did rent Saw 4. I can't wait to see Saw 5!
Later I'm giving blood for the first time (AHH). I'm making my mom take me because I'm scared I wouldn't be able to drive home or something. Then later I'm hanging out with my big, Ruth :] I'll probably just do homework and gear until then, because Pat's been up all night playing Fable II haha.
Oh man things have busy. |

Can I just say I'm super excited to watch Grey's tonight? Because I am. And I'm just posting to waste some time before I go over to shannon's later to watch it.
Yesterday was a long day. Took my sociology test which I think went okay. Hopefully getting that back Monday. He hasn't even given us our quizes back from last week and I just want to know how I did! I really like our teacher. We kind of get off subject all the time in that class, but it usually ends up relating to whatever we're talking about. And it's bascially all just a lot of reading. But it's interesting, and I think it's a little weird that I don't mind reading my soc book lol.
I did some homework and gear and tried to figure out Mathematica for my calc class. That did not go well. I have no idea how to do it, and my teacher is no help. He doesn't even know how to use it that well, he just wants us to figure it out. Hopefully Pat can help me out on that one. :]
Then we had a new member meeting which was always fun. I know my Greek alphabet pretty dang well! lol and we for sure have dates for the big/lil dinner and the sleepover. I'm excited for all of it :] It just makes it hard to plan around 17 girl's schedules. I'd say we've done a pretty good job so far.
Today I got up and actually exercised. I'm trying to get in better shape. It does not help that my big sister has gotten me a TON of reese's. Not to mention a TON of super cute gifts all this week. We've been spoiled. All the stuff I've gotten has been great and I can't wait to find out who my big is. Then I went and bought my paddle. I think tomorrow I'm gonna go get spray paint so I can paint it sometime this weekend. Then I super cleaned my room :] Did some homework. Then me, Karra, and Amanda carved some pumpkins for our project lovies :] Karra's had a cleft lip. It was a good time haha. And in a little bit, I'm going over to Shannon's to watch Grey's! I'm so excited to see her and Colette. It's been too stupid long. :[
Tomorrow's Friday! No work for me! Who's up for some funz!? |

So I haven't posted anything in a while, but things have been going alright. I've had my ups and downs the past couple of weeks. I'm still adjusting. But things with the sorority have been picking up, and all the girls are so great :]
Friday, Pat and I saw Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist. I liked it a lot. :] Then I ended up going to bed kind of early haha. I was tired.
Saturday was the Michigan. We lost. It was cold. But I still had a good time none the less. Then I went over to Nina's house to hang out because it was her 18th birthday. Her brother made her a cake from scratch. Why don't my brothers do that? Also got a lotto ticket. I lost. lol
Sunday, I got to take a survey and made an easy $30. Pat came over and I made cupcakes for the bake sale tomorrow. We took an awesome nap, and then I had to work 415-11. It was extremely slow and boring, but hey, it was the only day I had to work this week.
Today was school alllll day. I got an A on my comp paper which I was stoked about. :] I also got my first present from my big! I want to know who it is now, but I'll find out in a week. :] My math teacher loaded on the homework today. Of course.
I found out today that a boy on my brother's old soccer team was in a car accident and died this past weekend. He's 14 years old. I couldn't even imagine what I would do if that had been one of my brothers. As much as I complain about them, I couldn't even imagine my life without the two of them. That had to be devastating for that family, because I'm depressed just thinking about it. It really makes me thankful. |

Well. It's been a long week. Where to start?
I went to the sorority recruitment thing today and on Tuesday. If I do it, there is only one that I would want to join. They're the only ones I had actual conversations with, the only ones that really asked me about me it seemed. They do a bunch of fun volunteer work. School is really important to all of them, they help each other out. They work out every week (something I've been meaning to do lol). They read Twilight (YESSS). They're color is purple (also sweet). They all have one (or two) jobs outside of school and the sorority. I was really relaxed and myself around them. I really don't have any reason not to do it, because it seems like a good way to get involved in something that sounds fun. I'm still hesitant, though. Suggestions?
School in general has been getting a little better. I'm nervous for upcoming tests, so I'll be doing some major studying. But the time in between my classes goes by faster now. I have more stuff to do, and I'm enjoying most of my classes (NOT calc).
I'm pissed at AMC. For the first time in two and half years, I was not given ANY hours. None. Zip. Nadda. WTF? Seriously. I wrote an email to the manager who does the scheduling. She's one of the new managers, but honestly, NO hours? I'm PISSED.
At least there is the season premiere of Grey's and Desperate Housewives coming up. :] |

Ahhhh. So I guess school is getting a tad bit better since last week. I really want to get involved and meet people, but I'm just not sure where to start.. The girls in the sorority are all really nice and cool, but I'm not sure if I should go that route or not..
My plan is to transfer to Ann Arbor next year. Hopefully that works out. Honestly, I don't think I'll be all that happy being at home this year. When I imagined my freshmen year of college, this is basically the complete opposite of how I had imagined it. Bleck. I want to change that next year. I want to live on campus, meet people in the dorms, play in a band, and do what I want to do. I miss music so much. It was honestly my favorite thing, and I feel a little lost without it... I'm bummed Dearborn has pretty much NO music program, and that I'd have to all the way to Ann Arbor to be part of that. I just want to live there, not waste all my gas going there twice a week and wishing I lived there.
I suggested the idea of transfering to my mom the other day, and she surprisingly was open to the idea. I was under the impression that she wanted me to stay home 2-3 years and would not want to be transfer at all. To save money. But. I want to transfer. I'm going to make it happen.
Not much has been going on lately. School. Work. Hanging out. Just thinking about getting through this year. |

I survived my first day of classes at UMD.
My first class was Art History 201 at 9:55, so I got there a little after 9 to figure out where everything was, and the parking wasn't even that bad! I finally figured it out, and found out that there was a couple people from CHS in my class, but I only knew Zach Gielow. My teacher is this kind of older lady who LOVES art history and just goes nuts with hand gestures in front of the lecture hall when she talks about it. I think I'm going to like this class. :]
After that I went to Comp, all the way in the science building. Why a comp class got stuck in the science building is beyond me. But I ended up having Enia, Jon Kelly, and Christine Saatio all in that class. I was pretty shocked at the number of CHS people in my classes. It doesn't seem like a bad class though. Pretty much adv. comp from last year except with a WAY cooler teacher than Ms. Rod (who was nuts). It's only 50 minutes three days a week which is awesome.
So I had an hour in between my comp and sociology class and I went to the UC and got some food and basically just wondered around because I knew absolutely no one and had no idea what to do with myself at this time. I felt pretty out of place. Hopefully this will get better. :/
Sociology I ended up having with Lauren Vella. The teacher seems cool. He makes you stand up when you're answering questions and you're not allowed to raise your hand, you just have to stand up, haha. It should be an interesting class. We have to do this video project where you make up your own country and kind of document life there. We'll see how that goes, lol.
I ended up going home for the 4 hour gap. I'll probably stay on Monday, but since I forgot to bring food with me and was still at a loss of what to do with myself, I went home and made piiza bagels and Pat came over for a little bit and I told him about my day. Then I had to leave for math around 5.
My math teacher is foreign and tries SO hard to be funny. He really knows what he's talking about though, and since I took the class last year, I don't think it'll be too bad. Hopefully. I don't remember too much about math last year, but hopefully it'll come back to me. And surprisingly no one from CHS was in that class.
Today I didn't even have class so I did the reading I needed to do for my classes and last night I had done a little bit of math homework. It was a pretty relaxing day I guess. Have to call into work at 5, but it's doubtful I'll get called in.
I can't decide if I like it at UMD or not. I think my goal is to try to transfer to Ann Arbor next year. I want to take summer classes but I'm not sure if I can use my scholarship during the summer semester. Anyone know about that gear? lol Because if I can transfer next year, I want to take summer classes. |

Summer is over. And it went by sooo fast.
Monday morning I went to urgent care for my eye because my doctor's office was obviously closed because of the holiday. I found out I just have extreme allergies and that makes my eyes puff up. wtf? I've been taking a butt load of allergy stuff and some eye drops and my eye seems to be getting better. At least that's good news. Then I finally got the crap off my computer and got it ready for school. Then around 8, me, Luke, Jess, and Colette went out to Ann Arbor, got ice cream, and walked around. :] Me and Colette went over to Jess's after to watch Gossip Girl but unfortunatly Jess didn't remember to rewind the tape. So no Gossip Girls for us. Pat also won $590 in a Guitar Hero competition which is awesome! :]
Today I got up and was actually productive for awhile. I went to the bank, CVS, then cleaned my room and organized my school stuff. :] Then I relaxed, went to Pat's for a little bit to hang out before work. Work tonight was the SLOWEST night ever. AMC was practically empty. It made for a long 5 hours.
Should go relax. And sleep. School in the AM. |

Yesterday was my first Michigan football game! I had a good time :] Pat picked me up around 11:45 and we headed out to Ann Arbor. We parked, walked around Ann Arbor and found Pat's family's tailgating spot where we hung out there and ate. Then around 2:45 we headed into the stadium! By the second quarter we found people we knew and moved to sit with them, and thankfully we were in the shade basically the whole time! Even though we lost, I still had a good time. I was a little, I guess, timid, at first, but it's so much more fun if you get into the game and go along with everything the student section does. The next game is next Saturday and I'm pretty excited for it :] I'm glad I got to experience a little bit of what life is like in Ann Arbor. I want to go out there more and see what it's like and just hang out. After the game, Luke, Colette, and Pat came over to hang out, which is always a good time. :]
The only bummer about yesterday (and today) is that my right eye is like, swollen half shut.I look ridiculous and I have no idea what's going on with it. I just hope that it gets better by Wednesday for my first day of school. My parents are out of town until later today, so I don't have the insurance info. I'm not sure why mom thought it was a good idea to keep the all of insurance stuff in her purse while she was out of town while my brothers and I are at home. So we'll see. If it doesn't get better I'm going to urgent care tomorrow for sure.
Today I guess I'm just sitting around until I have to work at 6. I might go to Best Buy and the mall a little later with Pat assuming he wakes up anytime soon. I want to get a Michigan hat lol. I don't look all that great in hats, but Pat's came in handy yesterday at the game lol. |

It looks like Fall out. I've even actually seen a few trees that are starting to change color! I'm so excited, I just wish the weather would cool down a little. I love fall and I'm ready for it.
Yesterday, Jess, Colette, and Shannon came over around 2 and we tried to watch Kite Runner. The disc ended up pooping out on us so we decided to go to Panera instead lol. I'm bummed I didn't get to see the whole movie, but we were kinda distracted, so maybe I'll watch it some other time haha. We all ended up going our seperate ways and then Pat ended up coming over. Nothing else ended up happening that night, but hanging out with Pat was fun. :]
Today, I'm basically just sitting around for another 2 hours until I work. 4-11:15. Gross. I kind of hope that I get off early. I am not in the mood to work tonight. I hate working on weekend nights just because the people bitch about the price change. I get at least 1 person every half hour, fifteen minutes, that's like, it's so much cheaper at imagine! I don't understand why those people just don't go to Imagine instead and leave me alone because they just bitch at me for a good minute about why it sucks that the price changes. It's not my fault and it's so freaking annoying lol.
But I'm so excited for tomorrow! My first Michigan game. :] Maybe going to a football game will make me feel like school is starting next Wednesday.
So, I have about a 4 hour block between classes and I'm not sure if it's worth driving a half an hour each way to go home and then go back again. Jess suggested that I get familiar with the campus, which seems like a good idea. I'm probably not going to have too much homework to worry about after the first day, but since this is college and not high school, who even knows lol. |

So. T-Minus one week until classes start. It's wierd. It hasn't sunk in yet.
Sunday, Pat and I headed up around 12:30 to go up to Hell to spend some time with a little bit of the family. We went tubing. We ate pizza. It was relaxing. We were both pretty tired lol. Just ended up hanging out at my house that night because no one was up to anything. But it was all good. :]
Monday I woke up around 5 and didn't feel good at all. Fell back asleep and felt fine. Ok. I went out to lunch with Jenny at Panera. It was really good to see her again. She's leaving soon for Australia, so for all I know, that could have been the last time I see her. It was good just to catch up and see her one last time. I went to work at 5 and felt fine until about 9:30. I felt sick, my head hurt, and I felt like I was going to pass out. It was scary as hell. I've never been that close to passing out and I was kinda surprised I made it to the bathroom without passing out. Everything was blacking out. I went home early, obviously, and just rested the rest of the night.
Tuesday I felt better, so I picked up Colette around 3 and we went to out to Dearborn. I picked up my books. Holy crap were they expensive! And heavy. Ohhh boy. School is coming up so fast. Then we went to the sorority recruitment picnic which I actually enjoyed myself at. I can't really decide about the whole sorority thing. They're a little different at Dearborn because there isn't a house, so it's bascially just a way to make friends and have a good excuse to hang out and stuff. There's one that I really like. But I don't know. What would happen if I decided to transfer out to Ann Arbor? There is probably a chapter out there, but obviously it'll be a whole new set of girls and it could have a totally different vibe than the sorority that I like at Dearborn. I'm torn. After that, around 8, me, Jess, Colette, and Shannon met up in DTP to get some coffee and talk up at Starbucks. It's always fun talking to those girls. We left around 10 to make some grilled cheese at my house and Pat met us up. We talked/read Tucker Max.
Today I had to get up at 9 to get to work at 10:15. It actually wasn't too bad waking up that early. It shouldn't be too hard to wake up when school rolls around next week! Tonight, me and Pat around going over to Luke's in a little bit to play some wii and relax. Colette will probably meet up with us around 9 after she works, and I have no idea what anyone else is up to. There's really not many of us left here in Livonia. It makes me want to transfer next year if possible lol. |

Ahhh so the last few days have been pretty much uneventful.
Friday I had to work at 530, but of course I got sent home after half an hour. I could have stayed, but I decided to go home because I was so tired and pretty hungry. I went over to Pat's and we took a nap and ate some food. :] Than we decided to go see Tropic Thunder later that night. It really wasn't as horrible as everyone said it was. In fact, I only heard it was bad from a few people. It wasn't horrible for a free movie, haha.
Today I pretty much sat around and read until I had to work at 5. I decided to stay this time instead of going home because I need the money! I'm pretty tired now, so I'll be hitting the hay soon. But tomorrow Pat's coming with me to Hell to celebrate my Grandma's birthday with the family. It'll be a good time, I suppose. :]
AND. Only one week until the first football game! I'm SO pumped! I've never been in the Big House and I'm so excited. :] |

So, I kind of wanted to pick up my books today, but I'm stuck at home because my dad wants me to stay home while someone hooks up our new internet/cable. I'm thinking I'll probably just go to Dearborn early on Tuesday before the picnic gear so I don't have to make two trips down there. Gotta save that gas haha.
Yesterday was Alumni Night up at band camp. It was wierd but not wierd at the same time. I don't talk to many of the underclassmen so it was wierd seeing people I don't know in a place I'm so familiar with. I don't miss being there really. I don't really know how to explain it. It's wierd to think that that was my last time visiting band camp. Unless Brian does marching band next year, I don't have any other reason to visit at alumni night or on Sunday performances.
Nothing much is going on. I'm going a little stir crazy now that summer is ending. I'm usually super busy at this time with marching band, but since I'm not doing anything until school starts, I feel lazy and I just have the urge to do something. I'm kind of relieved that school is starting soon. It'll be a lot of adjusting and will keep me busy, and I love being busy. I love summer but summer just isn't that fun unless you keep yourself busy, and I have to say I've been doing a good job so far. |

[Aug. 19th, 2008|08:06 pm] |
So I've basically been doing a lot of thinking lately. Things are changing so much. Almost everyone is going off to college or will be soon. I get jealous when people start talking about what cute dorm room stuff they got at Target. I wish I was moving into a dorm room, too. Well, I've been thinking about how jealous I've been, and I decided that I shouldn't let where I ended up get me down. It's not my first pick school by a long shot. Heck, I could have been $15,000 in debt right now and moving into State tomorrow. Which is wierd to think about now. But I decided there's no reason to mope around about staying home. It just means I get to save money, right? I can move into an apartment maybe next or try to transfer out to Ann Arbor. I'm going to make a real effort to meet new friends and get involved. It doesn't mean losing old friends but mixing the new and the comfortable. I'm really getting excited. :] I'm even trying to get a new job now. I feel so much more independent then I ever have. I'm optimistic about things right now.
I even started checking out options for majors. I think I narrowed it down to either sociology or economics. I'm taking a soc class this semester and I'll try out a econ class next semester and see if I like either one. It's exciting getting to pick out what classes seem interesting to you instead of the ones you're required to take. We'll see how they go! |

So Monday was the finale of The Mole! I was excited that Mark won. He deserved the money over Nicole, and Craig was a great Mole. It was cool that everyone got together once a week to watch. It was like summer version of dodgeball. Just a good excuse to make sure we see each other at least once a week. I'm bummed it's over. How much are we all going to see each other before school starts?
Tuesday Pat came over and we hung out for awhile before I had to work. 6-12:15. Bleck. The only bad part about AMC is working late. If AMC closed at like, 9, or even 10, I'd like it SO much better, lol.
Yesterday I met Pat up at CHS because I had to talk to Mrs.Hering about a trophy and playing next year. Jon Tap informed me that since I was a student at Dearborn I was allowed to play in the bands up in Ann Arbor, even the marching band if I wanted to. Maybe I'll look into that lol. We relaxed and then went up to the MDen to get our t shirts for football this year. Pat picked up an application for the Mden and I picked one up for Boarders. We hung out, then I went to this Starbucks gear out in Dearborn. The sororities were doing get to know everyone thing and it was cool to go and see how the members like it and what exactly they do and just hang out. It was cool and I'm glad I went. I was bummed Colette could have come with me but I'm glad I went even though I went there by myself. I'm proud that I went by myself. I'm not used to going out on my own somewhere where I don't know anyone for sure.
After that me and Pat went to go see Pineapple Express which was HILAROIUS! I recommend it.
Something is wrong with my texting and stuff. I get stuff like, 2 hours after someone will send it and sometimes people don't even get the things I send them. I hate it. I missed the memo about seeing Tropic Thunder last night. Stupid phone. But Pineapple Express was definetly not a let down.
Work tonight and shopping in a little bit. :D I STILL need to order my books. I should get on that. |

This weekend was fun :]
Saturday morning Sarah and Mark came in from Vicksburg! It was so good to see them again. We ate some lunch (Mark eats like a horse. I've never seen anyone pack away so much mac 'n cheese EVER), then eventually we made our way over to Kensington to go kayaking! Unfortunately, a storm was brewing over the lake so we had to call it quits early. We should've just waited for it to pass. It didn't even rain, the storm just passed right over. We ended up swimming at Jess's for awhile and hanging out. Grilled some excellent hamburgers for dinner, played around on youtube (Salad Fingers is SO creepy) and then walked up to Hand-Di-Dip! We went to my house to sleep because jess had to leave early this morning to go to a Tiger's game.
We ate a superb breakfast this morning, hung out, fooled around on my lap top, showered, and then went to see The Mummy 3 at 2:15. It was definitly a let down. I liked the first two so much better. Haha well. It was Mark's movie pick. We'll blame him for that one, lol. We got back around 4:15 and my mom got pizza for us at 5. Ate that, Jess came over the game, and we hung out and read some Tucker Max. And did I mention that Mark finally gave Jess and I the bracelets he promised to make! They're sweet! I can't believe he can make those. I just realized that Jess forgot to give him back the car, lol.
Mark's mom came to pick the two of them up around 630, so I've basically been reading Breaking Dawn and watching the Olympics since they left. And I have to say, people have been complaining about how Breaking Dawn isn't that great, but I LOVE it so far. And I'm like 550 pages in. I've also been diggin' the Olympics. I was watching the swimming hardcore earlier. I was SO excited that the USA won the 400m relay. The French were devastated and it was just so hilarious because they were all expecting to win and we pulled ahead at the last second! Can I just say I'm definately a Michael Phelps fan! He went crazy when they won. It was great.
Hmmm. So my exciting weekend is over now. The Mole is on tomorrow so that should be good. Season finale! Didn't think I'd get so into this show. It's absolutely addicting. Then Tuesday it's back to work. :/ Poop. Well. I do need the money. I'm buying my books this week. I can't figure out how to use half.com.
On Wednesday the sororities at Dearborn are doing this starbucks thing and I was considering going. I'm on call so I guess that all depends on if I get called in. I was hoping Colette could come but seeing as she works doubles 6 days this week she most likely can't. So I might go by myself. Even if I don't join a sorority, it's still a good way to start meeting people which is what I really want to do. When my mom found out that I was looking in sororities she didn't seem too happy. But that's not really something for her to decide IF i chose to do that. Sororities at Dearborn are a bit different than the typical University campus sorority because they don't live in a house, so it's basically just a way to meet people and get involved with the school. At least that's the gist I get from it so far. |

So, I'm finally home from family vacation! Too much time pent up with my brothers would be bad for anyone..
Saturday was Pat's grad party. It was fun and I got to meet more family and friend's of the family which is always nice :D And I also went to buy Breaking Dawn which I am in the process of reading.
Sunday some people went over to Cayla's to swim. I had to leave early to work, so I just relaxed and watched the Tiger's game. Than I left for work and ended up getting of like 45 minutes early. I ended up just relaxing at home.
On Monday I mostly packed/read all day. Little packing actually got done, though lol. Than I got all dressed up and went out to dinner with everyone at Bravo's! Almost all of were there. It was a good chance to get dressed up one last time. It was a goodbye dinner. We looked cute. And Bravo's was good. And after we went to Luke's to watch the mole! It was a good night.
Tuesday morning I woke up early and my family and the Kresta's headed up north to Mackinac! I rode separately with Sara and Renee in Sara's car. We got there around 330ish and then we had some hotel problems. As in the travel agency thing that was supposed to book our hotel didn't and we got screwed. My aunt lynda got VERY pissed and we ended up a few hotels down in a suite one night and the type of rooms we were supposed to get the next few nights. After that ordeal we walked around in Mackinaw city and ate out to dinner later. After dinner me, Sara, my Uncle Larry and Aunt Lynda went back to the hotel to put our food away and we opened up the hotel door and there was a freakin' BAT circling the hotel room. I have NEVER heard my cousin scream so loud or see my aunt run so fast lol. The bat chased my aunt up and down the hallway while me and cousin were screaming and my cousin Renee slept through the whole thing lol. She had no idea she was in the hotel room with a bat. Very gross lol.
Wednesday I slept in until 1030, got ready, and later that day we went over to the island. We got lunch, went on a cool carriage tour of the island (compliments of the agency that screwed us over) and shopped around a little bit.
Yesterday we got up early and went horseback riding on the island! lol it was more fun than I thought it would be. We went around the island and through the woods and stuff and the horses even trotted along sometimes which I thought was fun lol. My butt is a bit bruised but that's ok lol. Than I bought my fudge and we went back across to the hotel and hung out there. I read, relaxed and showered, and than later my family went to the Mystery Spot. The VanAmburgs met us up for dinner because they happened to be in Cheboygan for the weekend.
This morning we left at 9, got home around 1, and now I should be unpacking. I have my haircut at 3. I think I'll probably just go for a trim.
Today is Brianna's last day here. I can't believe it. It hasn't really sunk in yet and it probably won't until later. When I'll probably cry. I hate goodbyes. |

So the last few days have been great! :]
Thursday was Pat and I's 18 months :] I can't believe it's been a year and half already. The time has gone by so fast. He makes me unbelievably happy, and I always have so much fun when I'm with him. I love how we can laugh at the stupidest things together or just hang out and watch a movie or something and still have so much fun. I love him so much, and I know I'm one lucky girl. :] We hung out together and made some pretty sweet peanut butter cookies to bring to Shannon's cottage yesterday. :]
Yesterday everyone went up to Shannon's family's cottage for the day! It was so fun! We went tubing (from which I am still so sore) and swimming and just hung out all day :] It was really nice out all day (until dinner) and I didn't even get burnt! Shannon's mom made tacos! It's sad to think that it's the last day we all get to spend with each other (besides the dinner monday night but there are a few people who might not be able to go to that). That group of friends has been like a second family. We're all close enough to each other that we act like family. I love it.
Today I woke up around 1030 (a good 12 hours of sleep haha :D) and went to Target to see if I could get Breaking Dawn. Except they HADN'T put them out yet. I was pissed. And I didn't have enough gas to go to Meijer. So I'm going on my to Pat's party later and demanding they give me a copy. It's cheaper and it comes out today and I want it! Later is Pat's grad party! I'm excited. I'll probably go there a little early and hang out all day :] |
