Finally it feels like spring around here although it doesn't smell like spring like it does at home. Here it smells like dog food and stale water which is not at all nice nor springy. I'm going to be in play which both scary and exciting at the same time. The play is All's Well That End's Well. I'm going to be the First Lord and Mariana which is more lines than I had anticipated but I think I can handle it. I think this will make baseball season more bareable too since now I have something to distract me. I've also been working on my art which is fun. I think I enjoy not taking art classes for a while. I need to refind my own technique and what not.

I got to see my Gramp this weekend which is good. I wish he was feeling better but he was full of his old jokes which was nice. I also go to see Bry which is always great. It's weird we are able to be not see each other for months and get together and its like we've seen each other everyday. I'm excited for vacation so we can hang out more.

Well just a week of two tests and a few classes for a week of relaxation. I can't wait....

Okay so its the second day of spring and its snowing... not a good sign. It's been awhile since I've written. Nothing too much is new. THe roomie moved out which is okay because now I have a queen sized bed which is very nice and I have a school work and art desk which is just fun lol. I've caught up pretty quickly from that week off. Some sad news is my Grampy is in the hospital because he has pnemonia. We're going home this weekend so i will get to see him. Chris is coming back with us which is fun. Then the week after next is vacation. Which will probably be boring but hey what can ya do. Then it starts the long baseball season. I'm kinda excited but at the same time can tell it will be very lonely and boring... but i will survive lol
well i got to go finish the laundry and get ready for class...

So today was a tough day in more way than one. I've had alot on my mind and it's affecting me more than i would like to admit and realize. I've had alot on my mind. For starters one of the biggest things on my mind is getting my license. It seems like an endless loop. I need a job but i need to get my license then i need a car but i need some way to pay for the car first. That leads to another big thing. I need to get a summer job but i really don't want to work with money. My cousin said i could work for him but i'm not sure if that will actually come true. I don't have anything really going on in my life which kinda depresses me. All I really do is crafts but i dont' have room for more junk and its kinda a loner thing to do anyway. Salem is exciting but i actually haven't seen the acceptance letter because my mom mailed it to me and we ended up leaving to come back before i got a chance to pick it up. I just have so much going on in my head that i end up walking around like a zombie. I don't know i really don't want to talk about it because there are so much bigger things going on. Its overal just tough

Well I'm back at home for a few days for the funeral. Good news is Dan got into Salem(yeay!!!)so that is a big relief. Tomorrow is the first games of the season and he is really excited. He gets to start in the sencond game. I wish I could be there but I'm going to gramp's instead. Today was an okay day. I went shopping with Dan for alittle while then we had lunch with my mom so I went shopping with her after. My hand still bothers me alittle but my arm is aching more from the the tetnis shot. Think I found more crafty stuff to do. It will keep me busy next weekend. I hope this is the only bad thing to happen to us this year. Last year was enough to last a life time. Its time for a break.

Well today alot happened. I got in to Salem (YEAY ME!) which is exciting but Dan hasn't heard anything yet which is nerve-racking. I also got asked to help with a really cool project. Although I kinda wish it had happened earlier so I could be a bigger part of it. Its called Science It Out and it takes college kids who are math and science majors and brings them to middle and highschools to so presentations that will excite the students and get them interest in science and math. I really would love to do it but maybe there will be something like it at Salem.

I did have a few down moments though. I'm tired who expect the teacher to do all the work for them. People we are in college DO THE WORK!!! Also we are forced to pay for the meal plan therefore the caf shouldn't make us feel like an inconvience. The caf is open from 7 to 7 for a reason because not everyone schedule fits their caf hours but the off hours are there for those kids that can't make those hours. We still expect food and service. Well that's my ramble for the evening.

Overal its going pretty good. I hope it stays that way and even though Dan will soon be away with baseball I think it will still be good.

I know a lot of people that don't like valentine's day but I do and I guess since I have the greatest boyfriend ever i like valentine's day and I got A LOT of gifts. I got some lingerie, a purse, and SHOES!!! I love my shoes they are grey and pink skater shoes and I love them. I also got a valentine from my gramp and my mom but i have to go pick up the one from my mom at the post office...
We are one day closer to vacation!!!! We're leaving thursday after I get out of work and Dan gets done his test. I'm looking forward to going home and I hope that I'll be able to hang out with Joe at least one of the days.
I have a new art project in mind. I want to do portraits of my whole family for my room. I haven't figured out all the details yet but it should be fun. I also want to do a family tree quilt but I need to work more with the sewing machine before I can do that lol
But I guess I got to get going on my day...
