The Verdict is..
"I was very impressed with your enthusiasm, and in addition, your athletic training and first aid.
I would like to offer you the position of Middle School Cheerleader coach for Burris for 2008-2009
If you are still interested, and willing to accept the offer, please let me know asap."
This was the email I got following my interview to for the cheer coach position. Yes, I am going to a be a coach. It's weird to me, but I am really excited. The old coach was a Ball State student and she just graduated. So I'm thinking I will have this position as long as I want it for the next four years. That's a nice feeling.
Some confusion... my spring break blog is posted but when I posted it, it popped up under my initial coaching blog so it's on here just scroll down a bit. Not sure why it did that. But check it out!

Coaching
I have been looking for a job down here at Ball State cuz guess what Jeni has NO money! I was searching through job posting on a website through BSU and saw MIDDLE SCHOOL CHEERLEADING COACH NEEDED I thought to myself-- that would be perfect for me! I had to send in my resume and a letter of interest, which I did, and the guy emailed me right back and said he'd contact me by the end of the week to set up and interview! I was soo excited!
I was debating whether or not I was going to try out for cheerleading here or not. I really didn't think my shoulder could handle it but I was talking myself into it because I missed being involved in some sort of activity. Seeing that position opened it made me realized I don't have to be in a sport to be involved I could be coaching one. I would love it if I got the job becuase I feel like I would be on a team still. The weird part of it is that I would be head coach. It kind of made me realize that I'm growing up. I'm not sure how I feel about this.. all I've ever known is to be a kid and I'm good at it! haha.
Please pray that my interview goes well! I'm really excited about it!

Spring Break 2009
I know its taken me awhile to update my blog but I was away on spring break for a week and this week I have four exams and one next week so I figure my blog wasn't on my top priority! Well now that I have two test down I figured a good blog break was needed.
My and four of my girls friends (Jess, Kate, Taylor, and Charissa) all the girls I will be living with next year took a road trip down to Panama City Beach in Kate's mom's minivan. I was a little nervous for the car ride because five girls in a small space for a long time just never seems like a good idea BUT it was... we all had alot of fun and no fighting! So we get there and our hotel was right on the ocean and there was alot of activity sponsored by the Navy(sorry Matt) right outside our hotel
So my vacation...
we met these five guys from ball state and we had to have a team of five guys and five girls to enter a tug of war tourney... we didn't win but made it to the second round.. it was fun!
I went to a lil' Wayne concert and it was so much fun! we got pretty close... he only did like 5 songs though.
This was our pool... Pretty sweet huh!
This is one of those activities.. this is me womping Kate in the head! We had alot of fun.. there was also a huge blow up boxing ring that had like soap on the bottom so we slipped around while boxing... i had a hay day with that! Look at the picture.. no one wanted to mess with me haha
So whenever I met people and tried to take a picture with them they would always just pick me up. I probably have 15 different pictures of people picking me up.
My Dad and brother Ryan thought it would be funny to imitate me/make fun of me.. but it's a pretty hilarious picture I thought.
Day One of injuries... Kate my not to graceful roomate fell UP the stairs and gashed her knee open! Me being the firstaid/lifeguard/soon to be nurse that I am ran to walgreens to buy super expensive bandages and bandage her up. She probably should have had stiches but steri-strips will do.
Day two of injuries... Charissa was fighting on the jousting things in the picture above and some guy nocked her off and she got a HUGE looks like road rash on her thigh.
I was waiting for my turn but Jeni came up injury free! Yes, I was shocked myself.
What we would do is lay out on the beach all day and play volleyball and jump in the ocean (which was freezing) then at night we would get all dressed up and go out to dance! It was soooo much fun!
One of the last things we did that week was all go out to dinner. We pretty much didn't eat the whole time because non of us had money so we ate continental breakfast, ramen, mac and cheese and pop corn... how health right? So we splurged on our last night there.. we deserved it. We went to this place called Pineapple Willy's it was really good. In their shop you can see we had some fun trying on sun glasses.
That night Jess and I decided to stay in and not go to any clubs that night and we had SO much fun. We stayed in our room on the 3rd floor.. and there were a group of guys on the first floor all playing beer pong and we took buckets of water and just dumped it on them... they were so mad but it was SO funny!
All in all we had a great week! I can't wait to do it again next year!

Home Sweet Home
I haven't blog in a while because I have been pretty sick with a cold. Not fun when I've got classes to go to and the only way to get there is to walk through the cold. I am sooooo tired of it being cold. In less than a week though I will be sitting on a warm beach in Panama City, FL! I can't wait! So this weekend I needed to go home to get my summer clothes and bathing suits.
When I got home my brother said that he was going to take me out to dinner and a movie and I was super excited for it b/c he told me I didn't have to pay or anything. I love it when my brother's are nice. I got to choose everything that night it was nice to be spoiled again. :) We went to dinner at the one and only Hacienda. I can't believe how many people don't know about Hacienda! It makes me sad that there isn't one close to me but it's just that much better when I come home. All these city folk are missing out on it. So after dinner we went to see the movie Taken. This movie was a great movie!! It definitely scared me though. It's about two girls around my age taking a euro trip and get kidnapped by these people who traffic women and the dad goes and looks for his daughter. It was a very intense movie and scared me because I'm going on a trip with my friends in a week and those kinds of thing scare me. But the movies was a good one for sure.
So on our way home from Goshen I was looking out the window and realized that the stars were out. The last time I saw the stars like that was last summer when I was at home. In Muncie there are no stars! Too many darn lights. I really miss seeing the stars! Another thing that I realized I'm not too fond of is traffic. I miss the country roads where there are no stop lights. In the country there is a million ways to get anywhere. Here there is only one way to get everywhere and I do not like that. I'm just a country girl stuck in a city.. but I'll survive!
Also when I was home I got to have breakfast with my best friend Krista and it was SO great to see her. We went to Wawasee Cafe at like 9 and didn't leave until noon. It was a good time. Krista and I can not talk for a bit and then pick right back up from where we left off. It's so great to still know that I have some old friends that still care :)
