BEEPING!

Though I have been in probably a few too many beepers during my time, I have never actually beeped myself.  My friend Kelsey and I decided on Saturday that we would give it a go.  SO MUCH FUN! She drove and I was the secretary.  We posted both of our numbers so I managed those for the most part.  I brought a notebook so we could keep track of what order people were going in, who was what number, where they were etc.  We were pretty slammed the whole night.  Our first ride was at 10:30 and they called about 2 minutes after we posted and we decided to quit at almost 3.  It was such a blast though!  I have NO clue how anyone could ever do that by themselves though.  We made almost 100 bucks too! I think I'm more of a beep-ee rather than a beeper but I'll definitely do it again!

Miss Meagan

My sister is graduating from UNC Charlotte in May with an Elementary Ed degree and just the other day SHE GOT A JOB!  I'm so excited for her! The school where she has been student teaching all semester loves her and offered her a full position for next school year.  The grade she will have is still kind of up in the air.  It's a Title 1 school so it's definitely been an interesting and taxing experience for her but she has really fallen in love with the school and the kids still.  She was my arch nemesis for the majority of my life.  She's only 14 months older than I am and we shared a room for years.  We're very different people so growing up in the same room and being so close in age was a struggle.  People would always tell us how one day we would be best friends and I never believed that but here we are.  She is definitely one of my very best friends and I am so thankful to have her in my life, especially as my sister.  I was her very first student ever when we were just tiny kids in our playroom and now so many other little kids will get the honor of having Meagan as their teacher.

Focused... But on all the wrong things.

Do y'all ever get really super motivated, but for things that are going to be of NO help? Right now I am feeling so ambitious.  I want to figure out my summer job, I want to work on a final project that I don't need to touch until late April.  I want make all these very future-oriented life decisions and feel so on top of life BUT could I possibly force myself to do the two slides I need to do for tonight for a group project? Hell no I can't.  This happens to be constantly.  I'll want to get so on top of things and run all around and do everything OTHER than what needs to be done immediately.  While researching grad schools in very important, is that even going to matter/be an option if I can't even force myself to do this week's homework?!

HOT FLASH

I don't know what wrong with me but I'm sweating my life away right now.  Its not THAT hot outside.  Its really nice actually.  But I'm burning the hell up and don't know why.  Menopause? I don't know.  I have my ice water bottle up against my neck in the middle of central and my hair on top of my head and I'm sure people are wondering what on earth is up with this crazy person.  Oh well, see you all in about 15 and maybe I"ll be back to a normal temperature.

Uh

I have no idea how I'm going to move all of my stuff out of my current little palace in Justice hall to home and then BACK here three weeks later to my new house up.  I have so much junk and I have no idea how it has all accumulated.  And majority of it all is just useless crap that I'll never use and also never get rid of.  As I'm writing this I'm realizing how completely bratty and horrible I'm sounding.  I need to clean.  When I am super clean and organized I have a much better week.  Also I think the reason my life if flying by is because I refer to time in sections and whether I mean to or not, it's sections that I'm just trying to get to the end of.  Rather it be "this day" "this week" "this semester" "this year." One of my goals really needs to be to stop looking at time in such a context because it's already flying by on its own, I really don't need to push it any faster.  Life is good!

SICK

I've been feeling bad since about Friday of spring break but it was nothing major so I didn't think anything of it.  It continued into this past week and I'd go back and forth between feeling fine and feeling miserable.  My body slapped me across the face on Saturday when it came in full force and I've felt AWFUL ever since.  I'm currently sitting in the health services waiting room.  If these people tell me I have the flu or something other than the common cold I'll get my ass straight in my car and go home.  Not really... But being sick at home is SO MUCH BETTER than being sick at school.  My mom keeps texting me and texting me saying she'll come up here and take care of me and I'm just like no mama you don't need to do that but I'm secretly like hm you could show up and i certainly wouldn't be pissed...

Saint Patrick's Day?

Wow you know you're somewhere thats not 7 and also not 21 when you have no idea its st. patrick's day until noon.  My friend texted me and was like "wait it's st. patricks day? ...I had no idea" and really until then I hadn't even thought of it either.  Nothing fun happens at school like when you're in 1st grade and I also am not old enough to hit the bars soooo today is just another day in the life.  Next year I'm sure I'll be quite aware of the fact that it's St. Patrick's day.  Somehow I thought I'd have enough to day about this topic for a full blog post but that is proving to be false.  Switching topics I have no desire to go to my abnormal psychology class today.  She just talks at us and I sit front and center and still have such a hard time staying focused.  OH WELL

NashVEGAS

Over break I went to Nashville.  It was so so so cool.  I had never been to Nashville before.  It was Kelsey's 21st birthday so me, her, her mom, her aunts, her brother and sister, and Lucas all went.  Her family is so crazy and so much fun as is she but it was like having a whole army of her.  We toured the Grand Ole Opry and the Ryman and the Country Music Hall of Fame.  I love country music so this was super cool for me.  Every bar or restaurant we went in had life music which was awesome.  GO NASHVILLE

Abby Duffy

Sitting here contemplating what to blog about and my friend Abby jumps into my bed and says "Blog about me please!" Oh, okay.  Abby Duffy is my friend.  She dated one of my good friends last year but I didn't really know her and then they broke up over the summer but then in the fall I found out that we live in the same building.  We started out just running together because we both like to run but we weren't real friends.  It was actually kind of awkward because I knew that her and my friend had broken up, and she knew that me and that guy were close friends so we just never really spoke of it for a while.  But now we're BFFs.  I'm going to end this now that I realize how bizarro it sounds. Goodbye.

My dog Max

When I'm at school and not at home I miss my dog Max more than all else.  He's 14 and a golden lab and is just perfect.  I know I'm his favorite too.  He's massive and all growing up I had a bunk bed and I would always sleep on the top and he would sleep on the bottom, unless I had a pile of clothes on my top bunk which was frequent... in which case we would just both sleep on the bottom twin sized bunk.  Last summer he had surgery where they basically stapled his epiglottis back because it kept getting stuck down and he wouldn't be able to breathe.  During the whole process I felt so cool cause the only things the vet would talk about is the stuff we talked about in anatomy and the stuff we talk about every day.  If I had a dime for every time my mom said "lair-nex" during all of  his issues.  I correct her constantly and she still only says that.

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is one of my FAVORITE movies.  I watched it last night for probably the 183rd time ever. I love it.  I love Matthew McConaughey and genuinely believe he is my soulmate... Sure he has a wife and what not but whatever.  We were destined to be.  And if he weren't, him and Kate Hudson were.  The movie is just so ridiculous and the humor of it is right up my alley.  I think it would be SO fun to do what Kate Hudson does in the movie even though that's so mean and would never work out like that in real life.  Matthew is perfect though he belongs on a big beautiful sailboat somewhere tropical with his long curly hair flowing.  Love him

High School

Last night I went to a Watauga High School basketball game.  It was so strange to be back in a high school gym.  Part of me feels like high school was yesterday but another part of me feels like it was ages ago.  It made me feel really old because even though I'm not too much older than a high schooler, they all looked SO young! It was so much though because it was a big game and the family I was with has a senior on the team and he's really good and if they lost it would be his last game so it was kind of a big deal.  My senior year my highschool has an AWESOME basketball team.  We were kind of jerks though just because the student section was insane.  We would all cheer and go crazy when they introduced our team and then when they introduced the other team we would all pull newspaper out from our back pockets and sit down and pretend to be reading and paying no attention.  Looking back that's actually pretty mean.
