If you like chocolate covered pretzles, come see me.

More word vomit.

Thanks for hurting my feelings. Why does it matter? I want to finish this darn Spanish paper but it's hard to get these last 200 words out. My legs are itchy and gross and I can't shave them yet. There's too much snow and yuck for me to drive to target and get some darn lotion for these itchy legs. I want some burts bees for christmas. I got $80 today for an old calc book and solutions manuel. Hello Christmas fund! I talked to Sar for an hour today. If you're not engaged, you're not engaged for a reason (whatever it may be) accept it. Maybe there's so many divorces because everyone gets married right out of highschool before they even graduate college. Here's a hint, get a degree. There's more to life than being married. Try and see past your bubble and do something with your life. This is not meant for those getting married in say a week or in June though. I'm actually excited about those weddings :) I'm not excited about something else. I want to finish this semester with at least 2 A's and I'm hoping for an A- in physiology and a B+ in physics. That'd make me purty darn happy.
THE END

Dec. 9, 2009

Today was productive. I wrote 3 papers this morning and now I'm going to try and write another two papers tonight. We'll see how that goes...
So. I did have a really awesome day today. It was a snow day which is nice because that means I had no class and that was wonderful. BUT there were 2 main highlights to my day.
1. My roommate is officially moving out and my good friend Aimee is officially moving in!!! Thank goodness because I can't handle living with anymore crazies! I love Aimee and I think she'll be a perfect fit for our current roommate dynamic.
2. OMGEE GLEE!! What an amazing way to end the fall season. Katherine watched it with Katelin and I and no TV show has ever made me that happy. The whole episode was complete bliss. Finn found out that he's not the father of Quinn's baby and Puck is and then Puck tried to be cool with him and Finn said umm NO. Sue got fired (thannnnnk goodness because everyone hates her and her vindictive personality). Rachel was amazing in her performance. Seriously the best voice I've ever heard. She's right up there with Celine Dion and Christina Aguilera. BEST PART: when Shoester and Emma kissed!! All three of us literally screamed like little girls all leading up to it and then screamed even louder when it happened. So fun. I love glee and I love those two.

p.s. My oatmeal bath was amazing (40 min of soaking and Celine Dion) and it really helped. Which is great because so far nothing else has been working. Oatmeal baths are now being worked into my schedule daily until this thing is resolved. I just used the word work like 12 times. Ok so only twice but it sounds wierd. OH WELL.

Hyperactive Basophills & God

The last few days have been stressful (remember that last part of my last blog? yeah...). On top of that my basophills are driving me nuts. If you were one of the few lucky people (Emily, Lauren, and my roommates) to see the gross product of my ovferactive basophills, you know what I'm talking about. Another oatmeal bath is indead in order after I finish this post.

Now for some probably nonsensical blabber.
The end of the semester is near. THANK GOODNESS. I got a new couch. I still haven't unpacked my suitcase from Thanksgiving and it looks like that's never going to happen. Found out some good news. Trying to make sure that good news happens. The two friends I'm setting up seems to be working out well! It's totally cute. Yeah.

So I've been really struggling (spelling? clearly I need spell check.) with writing my personal statement for my final paper in my 395H class. Could I have used the word "my" anymore in that last sentence? I need to sleep. OK, so, I've been having a hard time with this paper right. Well it's supposed to be about who we are, what we want to do, and why. We're actually writing our personal statements that we would submit for grad/med school ect and this class is really helpful because let's face it, I'm not that great of a writer. But Katelin really helped me out on this one and realize a few things about myself and the important relationship I have with my grandpa. Who would have thought huh? I decided that science is cool and I like it but that's not the reason I want to be a doctor. I just want to help people and I love physiology/anatomy/biochem so much that it just fits that I would help the less fortunate in that way. I realized that if I never made it into med school I'd be ok with that and instead I'd travel the world as a missionary. Seriously. I just want to help the poor and the needy (James 1:27). I'd love to be a doctor because I want to help the poor and the needy here in the U.S too (like be a bilingual healthcare provider in inner-city dallas) but if that's not what God want's for my life I am certain He wants me to be a missionary. I am praying that I get to go on a "medical mission" to Jamaica this spring break. That would be amazing/life-chainging/eye-opening and more. I WILL come up with the funds but I'm just praying that the people heading up this mission trip will schedule it for when I have my spring break. So keep me in your prayers for that. I love when God reveals himself to you through other people and He did that tonight through Katelin :)

also, I just realized that I never addressed the realization I said I made about my relationship with my grandpa. He confides in me with his medical issues, he believes that I can do this, he's incredibly proud of me, and he makes me want to become a doctor even more. For more details on this subject ask me to let you read my personal statement and I will.

Good night and HAPPY SNOW DAY!!
-which reminds me, WE HAD A SNOW DAY TODAY and we have ANOTHER ONE TOMORROW!! expect pictures. Kateling and I ran around taking dumb pictures, trying to straddle a tree, dropping her camera, and scaring Katherine. I suspect more ridiculous events are to come during tomorrows snowday.

It snowed today!!
Katelin and I finally set the two love birds up in a little meet and greet. We invited them over to bake & decorate christmas goodies and they came and they met and they clicked! Well I hope so, you can never be sure with these things but so far a darn good start :)

OH AND

I'm completely nervous and stressed about everything. What you ask? EVERYTHING!!
life, kyle, military, school, graduating, overseas adventures the works.

Why is it that every asshole I know from highschool goes to UT?
UT breeds animosity.
Obviously this post is being made in light of Nebraska loosing to them, however the reason I even mention it (because I really don't care that much about football) is because of the terribly rude remarks made by all the UT fans on my facebook. Using vulgarities against another school simply because of who they root for is just plain rude. Now it may seem as though I'm categorizing all UT goers as jerks, however this is not the case. I'm categorizing all the jerks I know as UT goers. Anyhow. Really facebook just reminds me of all the worst parts of highschool but enough about that I should just use facebook less.

I'm almost done christmas shopping!! I got some sweet deals at the mall today when shopping with Kateline and that was nice. I love her. We're so the same and compliment each other perfectly. But back to the deals. I got some stuff for Kyle, my sisters, Katherine, my mom, my dad... So now I'm almost done! I just have to order two pairs of jeans online for Kyle and I'm done! Buuuut. I know me and I know I'll see something that one of my sisters will love and I'll get it because it's reasonably priced and just perfect for them. Then I'll have to search for 3 other gifts for the other sisters to make all my gift giving equal and I'll drop 100 more bucks. But that's why I work. I always save half of every paycheck and the other half goes to Lauren's Christmas fund so that I can get my sisters whatever I want. I love getting them stuff that my parent's won't buy them or that they usually can't buy for themselves because I know how much they'll love it. Ahhhh I love Christmas!!

p.s. Kyle's parent's bought a land rover. That is both completely ridiculous and completely predictable.

Oh and happy 2.5 years sweetthing. We've finally reached the halfway mark :)

"I miss home"
"Home misses you"

I do miss home. I'm not very happy with school and my graduating status right now. My minor requires 28 hours of Spanish BEFORE i can even start working towards my Spanish minor!! So after I take my 28 hours, which I have not completed, I need to take 9 more to graduate. And an art credit. And 3 science classes a semester from now till I graduate. I was told over break that Spain is out of the question. I really wanted to go because I could work for the Spanish Red Cross or at a hosptital while I was there. HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE!? Too bad it's about $14,000 for a semester... I am determined to go overseas though. I think I'm going to try and do some mission work in some Spanish speaking country instead. I just want to learn how to speak Spanish and help some people while doing it. That's all I want.
Please appreciate what you have today, and go after what you want tomorrow.

Blaaaah

I like playing match-maker. Katelin and I are trying to set up two of our good friends. We'll see what happens this weekend. I'll keep you updated.

I'm kind-of-watching the VS fashion show. These models are ridicuously thin and good-looking. Too thin I'd say but to each his own right? They are pretty fit though.

That's it for now I suppose. Lots to do, lots to do!
