| | So, I'm bored at home and I decided to actually update this thing. I don't really have much to talk about. So, I'll just start with the basics. I'm in my senior year...well...sorta. I won't graduate until December of '07...just a semester behind. No big deal. I always like to make it clear that I never FAILED any classes. I just waited to apply for the education program a semester later than you're "supposed" to. Whatev. Last semester was really hectic and I had lots of work. I was constantly doing homework. We had heard that level 2 of the program were harder concepts but not as much work. Well, I'm not so sure if I believe that. This semester has been quite stressful. I think most of it has to do with my god awful math class and the teacher. She is crazy and absolutely ridiculous. I have the class on Tuesdays from 8:00-10:50 in the damn morning and it's terrible. Then we have our math internship later in the afternoon at 12. And that internship is pointless. We are only required to teach one lesson. Then we have our science internship on Thursdays, but we teach EVERY week. So, atleast we have ONE internship that is actually helpful. Um, other than school sucking...everything else is good. Mike and I get to see eachother every other weekend, which is extremely nice. He doesn't have hockey this year, so he is able to drive to Towson. I went to Frostburg Labor Day weekend, he visited me 2 weeks later, and then 2 weeks later (which was last weekend) I visited him. And he'll be at Towson next weekend...which happens to be Homecoming weekend! Homecoming weekend is always a good time. I hope we have nice weather for the game and tailgating. Dina and I are living together in our apartment in University Village. It's not quite the same without our other roommate Jessica, but since she graduated...she had to move back to Long Island. She's coming down for Homecoming next weekend and I'm really excited to see her. I haven't seen her since the middle of June, and Dina hasn't seen her since May. Welllllllllllllllll, other than all this boring "news" I have nothing else to write about. Laterrrrrrrrrr. | comments: Leave a comment   |

| I figured it was time for me to write in this thing. Although it's going to be nothing but rambling about the few things I have to write about... Hey! An update's an update, right?
So, the fall semester came and went quickly. I did have the chance to write in there a few months ago about me getting into the Education Program, which, of course, was a great relief. The way it works is you sign up for specific Cohorts, and you basically have 5 classes with the same people every day. My schedule is pretty sweet...not gonna lie.
Mondays: Art and the Child 1:30 p.m. - 4:45 p.m.
Tuesdays: Internship 8:00 a.m. - 11:20 a.m.
Wednesdays: Principles and Practices of Reading and Language Arts 4:20 p.m. - 6:50 p.m.
Thursdays: Children's Literacy and Matters 9:30 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.
A class that I was enrolled in for Mondays from 8:00 a.m. til 10:50 a.m. was changed to Thursdays from 4:20 p.m. til 6:50 p.m. So, I dropped it because I REFUSE to take class at that time on Thurdays. The LUCKY thing is I didn't need the class because it was the one that is "replacing" a class I just took this past semester. So, I'm only taking 4 classes. 12 credits. Oh well...I'm still full time. When I get back up to school and have a chance to look at my course catalog I'll be sure to check to see if I by chance need to sign up for a bullshit class to make sure I have enough credits by the time I want to graduate. So, we'll see.
I also made the Dean's List this past semester. It's about damn time. There had been so many times where I was .1 or .2 away from making it. I got a 3.8 and I'm damn proud. Since I'm in nothing but Education classes now, and no stupid Gen-eds, hopefully I'll be making making the Dean's List a habit. (It's always weird using the same word twice in a row...but it made sense right?)
Christmas and New Years were just a blur. Can't believe the holidays went so quickly. I also can't believe winter break will be over in less than 2 weeks. Craziness. I was working a whole lot this break. Gymboree really was in desperate need of people. And they just didn't have anyone. So, I got tons of hours and a nice raise. That was the only thing that convinced me to come back. However, it's a pretty fun/easy job...it just gets tiring standing on your feet for long hours at a time and dealing with the occassional bitchy customers. Tomorrow is my last day. It's bittersweet. I'm not ready for classes to start, yet I'm ready to get the spring semester underway so summer can come!
So tomorrow is my last day at work, like I already said. Then Thursday I will hopefully get to see my Allibabes! Friday evening I'm gonna go out to dinner with Kevin! He's doing his internship in Annapolis and we had been saying for weeks that we would get together for dinner or something...possibly down here in Calvert County because he wanted to see what I brag about. Haha. But I think we're just gonna grab a bite in Annapolis so he doesn't have to drive so far. Then Saturday I'm gonna move most of stuff back into the apartment at school. That will take a couple of hours because I will want to unpack it all too. Then I think Mike and I are gonna go out to dinner with his cousin, Jake and his girlfriend and their baby. The plans aren't finalized. So, who knows. Then Sunday I'm gonna be doing last minute things around here with my family. I'll hopefully get down to Solomons to see my Grandfather at his assisted living place. Then I need to go across the bridge to BJ's with my mom. Then I will visit with my Aunt Marcia for a while. Then it's back up to Towson I go for the night. I don't know if I'll do anything. Then I'll be in Frostburg with Mike Monday through Sunday. Why not spend my last week of winter break partying with my hot boyfriend? That, and he has games on Friday and Saturday and his family will be up there too. It should be a good ending to a good break. On Sunday, the 29th, I'll head back to Towson at a reasonable time so I can unpack my things from my "trip" and catch up with my wonderful roomies who I've missed so much.
So, that's about it for me. I should get to sleep. 8:30 a.m. will come too soon. And I've got a long, but last, day of work tomorrow. 11:00 a.m. til 7:30 p.m. Booooooooooooooo!
Goodnight everyone! | | comments: Leave a comment |

| I figured I would UPDATE??? (Um, what's that?) Orrrrrrrr, NOT write a paper that is due at 2:00!
So, the same old stuff is goin on for me! Just school. I wish I could get a job because I am so broke and it sucks...very badly. But, I know if I got a job I would bitch and complain about how I don't have any free time and blah blah blah. It's a lose-lose situation.
I applied for the Education Program here at school last Thursday the 20th. The apps were due the 21st by 1:00. But, I had left for Frostburg that Thursday. Anywayyyyyyyy, pre-registration is supposed to be this Friday, November 4th. But they still need to post the list. I chose not to go and look to see if it was up on Friday because I didn't want it to "ruin" my weekend if by chance I didn't get in. So, I'm planning to go look before my 2:00 class. The thing is...there are 96 spots. But, there were 10 people on the waiting list that applied last semester that automatically get in for this coming spring. So, now there's 86 spots. And I have heard there were close to, if not over, 100 people applying. So, I am superrrrrrr nervous. If I don't get in for next semester I have NO idea what I will do. I am already forbidden to take a semester off because apparently I will lose everything...financial aid, etc. I will be done with all of my gen-eds after this semester is over. There are really no bullshit classes left for me to take. So, I could minor in something...probably psychology...but I think it is too late to actually go for a minor. I just don't know. But if worse comes to worse...I will just take 4 psychology classes and still be full time. It just sucks because the Education path is already a 4 1/2 year program...I was already a semester behind because I decided to wait and apply this semster...soooo, that already puts me at 5 1/2 years maybe more?! Damn, I suck at life.
On a more positive note...
Things with Mike and I are great. Of course I wish I could see him more often than every 3-4 weeks...but it's just the way it is. He is busy with hockey and I am pretty busy with school. I usually have pretty open weekends, but a lot of his hockey games are away. Like this weekend they were in Reading, PA. And this coming weekend they will be in Long Island. So, I'm going up the following weekend. They have a game at WVU, but I'm just gonna ride with Mike, or follow him, down there because it's not too far from Frostburg. It was either that...or wait til Thanksgiving. And there was NO way that was happening. I learned that it was way too hard going 4+ weeks without seeing him!
Well, I guess I better get on this paper. Wish me luck on this Education Program ordeal... | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| I hate school. It sucks.
I love Mike. He is wonderful.
I miss summer. And I miss being at home.
But Towson is fun too.
That's all really!

| Summer is practically over. It's bittersweet as always. I will miss being at home somewhat, and being away from my old friends...espcially Mike. I will also miss not having anything to do. I moved into my apartment in Millennium last Monday, the 15th. I love it and I can't wait til everyone else moves in and it will be so much better! So, I moved in last Monday, then I was home Monday through Thursday. Then I came up and partied with some Towson people. Thursday we went to a party in Loch Raven then went to the Kent which is a bar right up the street from school. Friday night was a blast. We were out til like 5:30 a.m. Good times. Saturday I came home for a couple reasons. Had to get more things from home to bring up here and to see friends! We got crabs and had a huge feast at Allison's house. Yummyyyyyyyyyyy! Hung out afterwards and played games. <3 What else do we do at Alli's besides play fun, competitive games? Stayed there til almost 3, then went back to Mike's house for some much needed SLEEP! I was so tired from the night before and getting like 4 hours of sleep. Sunday I ran some errands then went to Mike's house for some gooooooooood eatins. Then I drove back up to school...at like 10:30 p.m. Just to see Jonny for the last time for a loooooooooooooong time! :( I'm gonna miss that crazy kid. I can't believe he's going all the way to California for school! Went to bed around 4:30 that night. Yesterday, my 4th roommate, the one we don't know, moved in at 9 a.m. So, I was woken up a tad bit earlier than expected. She is really nice and so is her family. So, I think Dina, Jess, and I lucked out and got someone who seems cool. Allison is staying with me this week because she has to be in in Baltimore by 8:30 every morning for training for Bank of America. I'm glad she's here because she's keeping me company since none of my other roommates are here. Dina moved her stuff in last Tuesday but isn't coming back til this coming Sunday. Jessica is moving in on Friday. Too bad I won't be here to greet her. I'll be at home for one last night at home with Mike. He's coming home to work alllllllllll day Saturday for Bayfest. I haven't decided whether I'm gonna come back to school on Saturday evening, or Sunday afternoon. It'll probably be Saturday so I can have one good last night of partying before classes start! I can't believe it's coming so soon! Where does the time go?! Seriously, time really does go faster and faster as you get older. I never understood why my mom always used to say that, but now I definitely notice it.
I'm sure you people, for those who read, which I'm sure isn't many, just love how when I randomly update, that I go on and on about nothing. So, I will just stop now... | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

| School is almost done! YAY! I can't wait for summer! I can't wait to be at home in good ol Calvert County! Being here makes me love Calvert County more and more each day! :) Next week is the last week of class then it's finals week. Man it went fast...but I'm definitely NOT complaining! I'm going to the O's game with a few people on Friday night. Gonna get shitfaced and go...should be good times...never gone wasted before! Then early Saturday morning I'm heading home for the rest of the weekend. I was gonna stay for Tigerfest, but then I found out Mike is going home for his Pop-Pop's birthday and I decided I rather be at home with Mike than around everyone from school. I'm to the point where I'm gettin sick of a select few people here at school. Dina and I are so ready to move the fuck out of the dorm and get into our apartment! Next year will rule. Then Sunday is of course Mother's Day and I am spending it ALL day with my mommy! :) I got her the That 70's Show Season One DVD set. She got hooked on that show a few months ago...and I think she'll love it because she keeps saying how she wants it! At first I was gonna get her that and the Frasier Season One DVD set...buuuuuuuuuut that would be a little bit too much money right now that I DON'T have. So, I'll just get it for her another time once I get money from working over the summer.
Anyway, I'm just so excited for school to be done that I wish it were this time next week now. It sucks that every other school in Maryland gets a "reading day." They finish class a day earlier than us and get an extra day to start studying for finals. TOWSON, however, finishes classes next Thursday and start finals on Friday. Atleast I don't have a final on that day...so I guess I'll be ok! :) Well, I just wanted to update real quick. Can't wait to be home! Goodnight ya'll! | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Whoa! It's been over a month since I've updated this thing. Everytime I think about updating it...I always wind up doing something else. Hmmm, funny how that happens.
Same old shit has been happening with me. Just been doing the whole school thing. Only 5 weeks left! Man I can't wait for summer. Eventhough, I'll be working...it'll still be good to be home, have no school to worry about, be with the CC crew, and of course be 3 minutes away from Michael! Speaking of him...I went a visited him this past weekend. That's the last time for the semester. His ass better be coming here the last weekend of April because I've already got a great weekend planned. He keeps saying "I'll think about it." Yeah...his ass better be here. I wanna go to the O's game Friday night, since it's only 5 bucks. Then go to the Aquarium/spend the whole day in Baltimore on Saturday. And then whatever on Sunday. I figure it'll be nice and warm...probably busy. But, as long as it's warm, I don't care. If he doesn't come that weekend, I will be very pissed AND that means I won't see him til we go home for the summer. I'm not even sure when he's coming home. I'll be home May 19th. That's the last possible day for finals and it figures that I'm stuck here til then. Oh well...what can ya do? I'm getting really nervous about registering for classes. I didn't apply for the Education program for next fall, and those who did, and got in, register this Friday. So, that means all the classes that I want are going to fill up. And I don't register til next Friday, the 22nd. I suppose I should try to meet with my advisor and see what she thinks I should do about classes. Because if the classes fill up, and I have NOTHING else to take...what the hell am I supposed to do??? Hopefully she'll be more help than what she was last time I met with her. I wish I had had an advisor last semester tell me that I NEEDED to take the Praxis BEFORE I could get in the program. I did not find out that I needed to take the Praxis to apply until the beginning of March. And with Spring Break, and me getting my tonsils out, I had no time to take the Praxis on such short notice.
Oh, obviously the tonsillectomy went well. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was a little painful like a week after the surgery because the new scar tissue was developing. (Gross...I know.) I actually went and saw my ENT doctor last Wednesday, and he said my throat looked great and that I didn't need to come back to him unless I had any problems. So, that's good. It still kinda hurts when I yawn sometimes. I guess it's still not completely healed.
I know I'm rambling...but I'm just trying to kill time until dinner because I'm really hungry and I'm trying to not think about food. Dina and I are waiting for Jess to get out of class at 6:15 and then we can go. I hate how I've been eating so much lately. It's definitely time for a serious diet because summer is approaching quickly. OH! And I got my belly button pierced last week, so I need a better looking stomach for that when it comes time to wear baithing suits!!! I should go to the gym, but I HATE the gym. It's too crowded, and I always get the feeling people are looking at me and thinking "What the hell is that girl doing?" Because I swear, the girls who are there are so frickin skinny and I'm thinking, "Just go eat a cheeseburger or something!" Maybe I should take an ab class? But it's too late to get into the habit of doing that. Maybe next year! :)
Ok, I'm done now. I could keep going on and on about absolutely nothing...but I won't bore who ever reads this any longer. Byyyyyyyyyyyye!
PS: Tomorrow is my bestest friend Allison's 19th Birthday! (She's such a youngin!) Everyone wish her a Happy Birthday!!! :) <3 | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

| I'm a little ticked off at the moment...
I was supposed to have an observation at Lots of Love Daycare down York Rd a little ways from 1-4. But, I got there and the director was like "Oh my gosh, I forgot that this was nap time! They'll be up around 3." And I didn't feel like coming back to school...then having to leave again. Traffic was already bad on York Rd at 12:45, god knows it would be bad at like 3 something. Soooo, I rushed out of class at 11:50, grabbed a panini from Ptux, and then ate IN MY CAR just so I could do the damn observation. And low and behold...the director FORGOT that the times I told her I could observe was nap time. How do you possibly forget that?! Ugh, it's no big deal. I don't have any other homework to do...so I could take a nap because I didn't sleep well last night. I don't really know why. I think I'm really anxious for tomorrow. I'm going to Frostburg OF COURSE! :) I'm riding with my friend Katie who I have a couple classes with. She's going to visit her boyfriend too...so we're just gonna leave around 7, after class, and head on west. I haven't seen Mike in 3 weeks...and I know it's not THAT long...but I miss that goofy boy.
And I totally can't believe how close Spring Break is. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one NOT looking forward to it. Everyone has all these little countdowns for Florida...Acapulco...Jamacia in their infos and I'm like "UGH...PLEASE DON'T COME." I'll love bein off of school...but I'm startin to get real nervous for my surgery!!! Well, not so much the surgery because I've had surgery before...but the recovering part is gonna suck. I'm gonna be in soooooo much pain. Atleast I'll get to eat popsicles and maybe lose a good 10 pounds!
Well, enough babbling...I'm gonna lay in bed, watch Jerry Springer, and be a waste of space. :)
PS: The Maryland game was soooooo fun! (Even though they lost...by TWO!!!) Dina and I met up with our friend Vicki and she got us down in the student section behind the basket. It was great! Now everytime I go...I'm gonna wanna sit there instead of the regular seats! Haha, ok bye! | | comments: Leave a comment |
