In college I have made many new friends but I still haven't forgot about the old. Kalyn Lantz who goes to Taylor University which is like 20mintues away from Ball State, we try to meet every other week to catch up and see how each other is doing. It's really nice to have this time with her. This is time I love spending because Kalyn is one of my great friends and I would never want to lose her friendship. I feel like many of my friendships from highschool have been lost but I know Kalyn will always be there.
It's really strange... I have dreams about Kalyn all the time. Kalyn was an amazing basketball player in highschool and I always dream that I go and watch her play and she's on like this superstar basketball team.. it's kinda fun because that is something that I always used to do in real life.

Never a dull moment with I'm with Kalyn!

Snow day!

So yesterday we had a snow day for yes COLLEGE. So what do college kids do on a snow day you ask? We play football in the snow.

We climb to the stop of snow mounds and slide down. These snow mounds were in the middle of the street so the word was CAR!! (if we saw a car coming we wouldn't want splatter little girls all over the road.
I got called Pippy all day long and I have no idea why (wink wink)
Since we are all poor here in college we had to improvise with out sleds... so we went to the dinning hall to gather our lunch trays aka sleds! this is what i'm sliding on here.

oh what a wonderful snow day we had!

A new Semester

I have officially had my first full week of my new NURSING semester. I am starting to get into classes that involve my major so I actually feel like I'm learning something that I will use. I still have yet to take history though.. YIKES! I was kind of dreading chemistry but now that I am in the class I actually like chemistry! It's hard but I like working on my home work in that class something about it just makes me feel smart ha. All my other classes are going well too. I have a community health sciences class where my prof. is very monotone and its a night class yay.. NOT! I am taking sociology which isn't bad it's very interesting but once again monotone prof. but I have that class with three of the girls I'm living with next year so we can all compare notes. I am also taking aerobics! Yes, my favorite class. I haven't worked out much but my instructor is hilarious!! and she loves me. We stayed after class talking for awhile she's in her 60's and has a Manhattan accent. Needless to say it's always fun in that class b/c she's crazy! And last but not least I'm taking a religion and culture class which is.. well.. interesting. We are talking about all these weird sorts of religions and our professor is really nice and teaches the classes with no opinions but it's still hard because there are those people in our class who are very opinionated about their religions and try to argue. Ugh.. it's annoying!

On a lighter note after my week was over I went out with some friends and ran into a friend I hadn't seen in a year, Cassie Tucker! She came to visit some people at Ball State and luckily I ran into her. This picture was taken right after I tackled her. We sat and chatted for a good hour just talking about great memories. Cass and I cheer together in middle school and all through high school. She was a year older than me. When we were in track we would carpool home and we loved it when my mom would pick us up because we had one of those big vans were you could lay the back seat down... and Cassie and I would lay it all the way down and sit at the very edge. When we got to stop signs we would make my mom take off as fast as she could and we would fly to the back of the van! We would be in so much pain but be laughing hysterically at the same time. Some of my dumbest but most fun things I have done with Cassie. It was a nice little trip down memory lane!

Zumba Zumba! & Dog Sitting

Over break I picked up a new hobby I guess you could say... ZUMBA! Steve's sister asked me to go with her. Zumba is this dance aerobic work out class thingy. It is made up of cumbia, salsa, samba and meringue. I was a little nervous going into it but it turned out to be really fun.

At school I probably worked out a total of 3 times. There are a few reason for that. 1. I was enjoying just relaxing. 2. I wasn't gaining any weight so there was no need to work out 3. After I did work out I was ready to do things like gymnastics things and I knew I couldn't so it was kind of depressing.

Zumba is the cure for that. I love going and it's all dancing for an hour. You never stop so it's a great cardio and also works many other things. There were people of ALL ages there and on Friday's it's co-ed which I couldn't really see a guy doing this kind of class without him losing his masculinity... but they did it.

Tonight I was dog sitting little Wriggly (Darcy's Dog) and well I was planning on staying the night there. Wriggly and I played and had a great time but I was getting tired so I decided it was bedtime at about 9:00 (I know college students are suppose to stay up later **not this one** I like my sleep). I go put him in his cage in the basement and cover it with the sheet. I popped in Gilmore Girls to watch and put myself to bed. Laying there I kept hearing noises. I heard car doors, a train, a police car, then a tap on the window (no that was my imagination). I calm myself down and try to stop making stuff up in my head. Then I hear this single THUMP! I just ignore it thinking it was something that didn't matter. I hear it again but it kind of sounds like it is outside so I ignore it again. There it is again and again and AGAIN!? Okay, I'm starting to worry. I turn all sounds off in the room and just listen. I hear something walking around in the living room. I tell myself (it's just your imagination It's JUST UR IMAGINATION!) Okay I'm totally scared so I call my Dad. I'm whispering as I'm talkin to my Dad because I don't want this killer that is in Darcy and Darin's house to hear me. I'm telling my Dad that I'm coming home but I'm too scared to open the door to the bedroom cuz the "guy" is out there. So I grab my keys and put it between my fingers in case I need to punch this guy (Hey, I'm just a little one) I'm standing my the door and I'm waiting for someone to turn the door knob cuz whoever was there was right by the door. My heart is pounding a million times a second (I didn't even need to go to Zumba for that Cardio after all). All of the sudden I hear someone sniffing at the door. I'm thinking why would this person be sniffing? Oh, Jeni's and idiot! It was Wriggly! I open the door and there he is just a wagging his tail. When I put his in his cage I guess I forgot to lock it. Keeping my Dad on the phone I put him back in his cage and MADE SURE that I locked it this time and then I headed the heck home. I didn't feel like being awake all night worrying about scary things. I have a wild imagination. So when I get home I had a feeling my Dad would be outside to scare me cuz he would do something like that so I walk to my door very cautiously looking around carefully. Nothing. Dad was sitting on the couch for the soul reason that Mom wouldn't let him scare me. Thanks Mom.

Well I can tell you right now... I'm NEVER living alone! :)
