Summertime.

oh man. so currently looking for housing for next year and the begining of the summer. I had thought we (my future roommate Jack and I) had pretty much secured a place starting May 1st but turns out I was wrong. So currently still looking for a place, they kick me out of the Dorms at noon on May 9th and seeing as I'm supposed to be working in Brookings starting May 11th, I have a problem. Hopefully I'll find somewhere to crash until I have a place or until I can move into whatever place I find, right now subleasing might be what happens. so Prayer is needed because I'm stressing out, I dont want to be homeless!

starting to prep for this summer and finding out there just isn't enough time to see everyone before I leave! I've got approximately four weekends open, so if you want Morgan time, claim it now!

I'm really excited to go to New York for this camp. It's becoming more real the closer to June I get and I'm also kind of nervous. Rich, Liberal (Mostly Jewish) kids for 8 weeks! It's going to be trying on my paitence but also a great learning experience plus I get to see woodstock! I really think it's going to be fabulous. (check out http://timberlakecamp.com/ to see the camp, it's beautiful!) I just checked the count down-only 72 days left until camp. SEVENTY TWO (less actually for me, we get there a week before the kids). It will be amazing to get paid to hang out and swim and craft and play sports and be a kid for 8 whole weeks, it's totally my dream job!

PLUS I'll be home in time for the state fair :)

a little longer of an update :]

well, I don't know chem test results but I didn't die and I don't think I failed it, I knew forsure more than half of the questions. so I'm thinking it won't be an awful result.

Bio test tomorrow, but that's easier and it's about Human Anatomy which I learned alot of in Bio 101 and in High School. so I'm not as worried and we group studied tonight, which was actually kind of productive.

Tomorrow I'm going home, so excited to see mom and dad, the new filly, the dog AND sleep in my bed :). I have a crazy busy weekend planned, catching up with everyone and going out basically every day. But I miss everyone and I need some catch up time.

I talked to the realty company today and the lady we had met with is uh, no longer with them, so that's why we hadn't heard anything about an apartment. But luckily, the lady on the phone was super nice and is getting everything checked out for me and calling me back soon. So Hopefully, we'll know something about a place soon. Please pray because 4 hours is too long of a commute. :] I'll keep everyone updated as I know.

okay, well. time to pack and perhaps get some sleep. working and a test in the morning. then driving home.

Briefly...

Roommate moved out today. Apparently She Can't Stand Living with me. It was news to me until just a few days ago. I have so much space I don't know what to do with it!

Chem test tomorrow. Wish me luck, been studying lots. Bio test is thursday, should be easier.
Disecting pigs in Bio Lab again tomorrow. Ew.

Easter break this weekend, no class friday or monday. Coming home thursday night :]

Better update later.

an update on the issues.

well. I'm dropping Spanish. That's all there is too it. I'll go to the registar's office tomorrow and take care of it officially. Really don't want the F on my transcript.

Chem is going slightly better, I got a B on the last quiz! It was very exciting for me.

Feeling quite sick these days. Can't seem to shake the sore throat, cheast/sinus cold, achey, tired feeling. Trying to get into the clinic this week to see if it's something more serious and if they can fix it! **just made my appointment. Tomorrow at 10:30. **

I'm signing up for Relay for Life also. If anyone is interested in helping with Donations, it would be greatly appreciated. I'll have some luminarias for sale as well as accepting any other donations people feel like giving, it all helps!

planning out next semester. it's going to be crazy

Annette, Miss Malibu Carbie.

Today is March 28th. 5 months and 2 days since Annette's last day. I'm not sure why I'm thinking about her more this week than other weeks but I am. Maybe it's because it is getting closer and closer to fair time or because the weather has been especially nice (Not the last few days, but before that.). I'm not exactly sure, but I don't mind remembering.

I wrote this, (I guess I would call it a poem) about Annette a few months ago but haven't really felt the need to share it until now. It's not very good (I don't think) but it's how I feel so I guess that means something.







Thinking of you everyday
Wondering why we lost you so soon
a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart
you'll live on in our smiles

God called you home to soon for us
but we have to understand
As much as we wanted you here,
You're place is in Heaven

You lived for him and gave him the reins,
Showed us that Today is the day
Smiling always just like you used to do,
bringing a little bit of your light to the rest of the world

Annette, we will always walk with confidence, even when we feel we don't have any because, you are by our sides.






There You Are by Martina Mcbride, One of Annette's songs.
(Never Alone by Lady Antebellum is the other.)

Annette and I at Regional Horse Bowl Contest in 2007.
Miss Malibu Carbie, We will always Love you.

34-3 gallon tubs of Ice Cream.

So today was Little I friday. There where sooooo many baby's running around campus. It was also a TGIF and some science fair.

We were crazy busy at the Dairy Bar. We literaly went through 34-3 gallon tubs of Ice Cream. We scooped alll afternoon and I think that I have ice cream scooper elbow.

I'm using this weekend to recoup and do lots and lots of homework. and study up chem. May also head to the Animal Science Arena and watch the Beef and Dairy Shows. And a little bit of the Little I dance tomorrow night. Thinking about dropping Spanish because I'm failing and I just don't think I can catch up. I need to do some thinking and praying and see which is the right path to take.

also, if you're reading this. I've got an issue going on that requires prayer, needing some guidance and wisdom. I'm looking to God for it to all play out the way he wants.

but tonight is just a lovely girls night in with my favorite roommate (or former actually), Sarah Redfield. so, back to that.

Proficiency Testing and Chemistry. Ugh.

So I woke up this morning with a sore throat and no voice. I had a voice when I went to bed, where did it go? Not so cool. And that was just the begining of my fantastic day.

When you graduate high school, isn't standardized testing supposed to be left behind? Today I took a four hour proficiency test that is mandatory for me to pass in order to graduate.

We had 40 minutes of writing, 40 minutes of math, 15 minutes to pee and then 40 minutes of reading and 40 minutes of science. Reminded me of the ACT, pretty much the same questions, and uh, Hello, already took that and did well, why do I need to take it again?

and to top the day off, I had a chem quiz. However, I think this quiz has gone better than any of the ones before it. I'm pretty sure I got at least a 24. I was excited because I understand what we were doing in those two chapters. We started chapter 8 today so we'll have to see how that goes. I have to spend my weekend writing my second term paper for that class too. Hopefully I can buckle down and actually get it done.
