Silly Me

I decided to start blogging again.. with a little motivation from my friend Jenn at work.

Once I decided to post something, I realized I didn't know my password so I created a new blog. Once my new blog was created and I have published my first post, a lightbulb turned on and I remember my username and password. After a lot of work, I decided not to retype my post but rather give you all a link to my post. - http://jeniduni.blogspot.com

Even though I have a new site, I will be continuing to post in my current blog.

Stay tuned for more blogs to come.

Senior Spring Semester

This semester is starting off kind of slow. I'm actually really bored. I get up, go to class, go to work, come home, eat, watch tv, go to bed, and do that same thing over. I haven't had any homework yet, well until today and it took me 15 mins. to do. I thought college was suppose to be challenging. I say that now and I bet later this semester I will be regretting that statement. And saying I wish I had time to relax. After Christmas break I was ready to come back to school and get started and my senior semester has let me down, Okay not really. I have many trips, career fairs, competitions, and conventions coming up.

This semester I will be traveling to California and possibly New York. Since I'm not going on spring break this year I figured I might as well make use of my weekends and travel the United States. I can't go on spring break because I scheduled my 4th should surgery at that time so I have time to recover without missing school. I also realized after I scheduled it I am missing a huge sales competition in Atlanta, GA. Kind of a bummer but I guess I'll survive. I mean spending a week at home by myself all slinged up and on pain pills while my parents are at work sounds so much better than being in the warm sun with all my friends or networking at a huge sales competition... HA YA RIGHT. But I decided that this is the best time to have it before I get a job, so I won't have to take off work when I'm new and I'll be good and ready to go when I move to Boston (hopefully) or wherever.

I am really excited about finding a job and that has been the big thing on my to do list. I am looking very intensely on working for BD Medical. I did a ride along with them and I just recently found out that they were very impressed with me and are looking at my graduation date and trying to match a territory for me along with my availability. There will be an interview to come so I will keep you all posted on that. I am also looking at Iconacy, where I interned. The VP of Sales and Marketing emailed me over break to see how I was and how I was doing in school, which made me very excited that he reached out to me.

I have always wanted to work as an Orthopedic sales rep but I don't know if I should jump into that right now if I have the opportunity or if I should start out with BD and get medical sales experience then try to break into orthopedics. What if I love BD and don't want to leave. These are all things going through my head. I have been praying that I make the right decision so I ask that you pray that I listen to what God is telling me.

That's all for now.

New Years Resolutions

I have made it my new years resolution to blog once a week.. We will see how that goes. I promise to try my hardest. My grandpa encouraged this resolution. It's not that I don't have stuff to talk about I'm just a busy girl. I am dedicating one hour a week to blogging.

Another one of my resolutions is to stretch everyday. I feel like I have lost a ton of flexibility in my legs.. Which I wasn't the most flexible person before now you can just imagine how I am now. I feel like a stiff board. Well I plan to fix that.

A little update on things that have been going on.. I will be having a 4th shoulder surgery over my Spring break. What a way to spend my last spring break huh? I decided to do it then because I'll have time to recover and I want to get it done before I start a job.

Well that's all I have right now I'm babysitting and Lydia just woke up better do my job.

College is Taking Over

I know my blogs have been all writing and not a lot of pictures, but I haven't had a ton of time to take pictures. School has been stressing me out to the max! So I apologize for my lack of pictures.

For a bit that's going on in my life...

School is getting harder and I couldn't be more ready to get out. I'm ready for some change in my life and to be out on my own. I know everyone says 'don't wish away school, it's the best time of your life, you'll wish you could go back' to be honest. Having a job and getting paid for it will be a lot easier for me than studying (aka doing something that I hate) and being put in thousands of dollars of debt. I've always been a hard and good worker, I haven't always been a good student.

I have also joined a sales team. This has been a good experience for me so far. I've been in two competitions, one at IU and one at Ball State. I travel to Wisconsin in three weeks for another competition. We basically go in and role play with a buyer who we try to sell a product. We get the case like a week before and start preparing. Trying to prepare for sales team on top of school is a bit of a challenge but I manage to get it done.

The last two weeks were super stressful for me and I hardly got any sleep. Jeni with no sleep = a BIG grouch! I apologized to my roommates all week and plan to make them dinner one night this week. HA! The end of my two weeks ended with a bit of an emotional break down. I ran into one my professors who I had skipped his class and he called out to me and said hey you doing okay and yup I broke down right in the middle of the business building. Ending up skipping my next class because I couldn't pull myself together. My professor was super helpful and ended up giving me and extension on some papers that were due in his class. Moral of the story is: If you don't do your homework just cry to buy a few days. Alright, not really.

Since everything had been so stressful I decided to venture on home for some good old family time. I was in the mood to make some food so my mom and I made an apple pie together and the next day I made home made pizza. Cooking just puts me in a good mood. As well as spending time with family. When I'm around my family I feel like everything is fine and my stress goes away. I got up and went to church with my parents on Sunday morning and then had family dinners are Grandma and Grandpa Dunithan's house Sunday night. I look forward to those dinners not only for the VERY YUMMY food but spending time with my whole family. Going home was just he medicine I needed to be able to start up a new week.


I'll leave you with a family picture during family weekend.
And of course, Me and Grandpa cuddled up in his recliner! Have a great week everyone!

One Crazy Summer

Busy busy summer.. I apologize for the lack of blogging.

This summer I started out so excited to be back working at the Frog. I was looking forward to the fun times there, the old people/customers that I get to see, and of course the money that I make. Now that there is only two weeks left in my summer it's kind of funny how that excitement turned into excited to be done working there. I think I just became drained from the place. I have always loved working there and the people I work with but this summer has just been different. So now I no longer work there.

On the other hand 3 weeks ago I started a new internship. The internship I blogged about before actually didn't end out working out. Once push came to shove the guy bailed without warning.. what can you do? Well the answer is, get a better internship that's paid and a lot more beneficial that could possibly lead to a future job. I started a marketing internship at a brand new orthopedic company in Warsaw, which is exactly where I want to be. I love what I'm doing and the people are great. I am actually working with the vice president of marketing and sales. I couldn't be happier with the way things worked out. It's one big answered prayer.

I am also on a bar sand volleyball league at spikes in Warsaw. We play every Wednesday night and it's a lot of fun.

I got all moved into my new place down in Muncie and it's looking nice! Big living room and kitchen just not a whole ton of storage space in the kitchen so we'll see how that goes. I'm ready to go back to school I just can't believe it's my last year then I'm facing the big bad world. I honestly think I'm ready for it. I ready for change. Something different in my life. A new start. Everyone keeps saying don't rush it, which I don't want to I'm excited for the fun of my senior year but I also am ready for life.

I went to San Diego this summer. It was a good time. Different from Indiana that's for sure!!! It was beautiful.

Right before my little vacation I took two summer classes and made the Deans list.. yay for me! My letter is currently hanging on my parents fridge.

My summer has been pretty busy... hoping to be able to blog more.

I need more hours in one day!

Busy busy busy... those are the only words to describe how my life has been this past week. It is currently 3:15a.m. and I am working on this ridiculous business law paper. I've been up late every night and getting up early every morning as well. It's funny though, the only people in the library this late are all the business law students working on this paper because we all have to use the same books and none of these books are aloud to leave the library. I think that I have made more friends in my business law class than any other class just because of this stupid paper, so I guess that's a plus.

On top of this unnecessary 20 page paper for an intro level class that I have to write I still have homework, tests, and quizzes in all my other classes plus other homework for that class I'm writing a paper in. I know typical college stuff right? Well that would be all fine and dandy if that was all I was doing... I'm also trying to work on top of that (someone's gotta pay the bills) ;) and I got 2 interviews this week with two different companies.

I received a called over spring break from a company called IKON wanting me to come in for an interview. I said yes if nothing else to get interviewing experience. This was my first professional interview and I was so incredibly nervous. There were two guys interviewing me and the one guy was the guy I gave my resume to at the Career fair and he was extremely nice. At first I know they could tell I was nervous, I was sitting straight as a board, so stiff not moving and I felt very uncomfortable. The guy who was mainly interviewing me said he wanted this interview to seem informal and he just wanted to get to know me, and instantly I loosened up thinking Hey, I know me... this will be easy.. this isn't a test... I can talk about me... what do you want to know I'm an open book...

I think I was so nervous because the classes I have taken the the people I talk to say know the company you're interviewing for, do research, impress them by your knowledge.... So hearing those things made me nervous I did some research to get to know the company but I didn't know exactly what I needed to know I felt like I was studying all the wrong things for a test and I didn't want to go in there looking like a fool... Well I in fact did not. People freaked me out too much about this.. The company wanted to get to know me and my strengths and my goals and what I could contribute to them. I could sit there and be myself. I felt good about myself being able to share my experiences with someone who could use them for their company. I know I'm only a junior but they said they want to keep a relationship with me and know where I'm at and what I'm doing because when I do graduate they want to be there to recruit me.

Some of the things that impressed me about the company the most are that they are very close knit company with their employees. By the way the Director of Sales was talking they hire all their promotions within house and they seek a certain type of person. As he was describing that person I felt deep down that he was describing me to a T and I hope that they got that information from what I had to say. Another thing that I shared was my gymnastics experience and how it related to sales.. had to throw that in there and I feel the need to share on here.. and to be honest I've never really thought of it before until I was speaking it in my interview...

As most all of you know from first hand or previous blogs I was a gymnast and in gymnastics competition is basically and individual sport. You have to work hard to get to be the best, you set goals for yourself you want to achieve and work hard to achieve them, and you can't be afraid to try new things to make yourself stand out. BUT even though you are working hard on your own to achieve your goals you are doing everything FOR your team. Just one person cannot make a team. Everyone's hard work and ability needs to come together to gain true excellence. And this is the same things for what I want to do with my life, SALES as a sales rep I will need to go out and make my own visits, appointments, and calls if I want to succeed... but even though I would be doing this all on my own it is all being done for the company as a whole to make one big team. All the little scores get added to make one big score. Everyone there is a team as well and without the other sales reps it couldn't make a complete team. It is exactly the same.

The sales director said that his daughter was a gymnast and said after watching her practice he said that it had to be the hardest sport ever and that if I could be a gymnast that I could handle anything. It's funny how I thought going into the interview the only highlight I could talk about gymnastics was being captain but I got so much more out of it than that.

Another connection I made was the director of sale's son is on the Ball State football team. Not only do I work at the football stadium but his son is in my business law class and we were working on our paper's together. Lucky for me after my interview I got back to the library and Brooks (the son) was there and said that his Dad and the other interviewer were both really impressed by me that I have a side source to get the information. It made me realize though how important it is to make relationships and network with people. It truly can make all the difference.

I wasn't expecting my blog to be this long. I kinda went on a tangent but I was so excited about my interview I wanted to share.. I could probably go on and on but I'll spare you the reading if you do want to read/hear more feel free to ask. :) I have one more interview tomorrow...

Oh I also just back from spring break so I will surely post about that soon!

Internship

A few days ago Ball State/Pi Sigma Epsilon (which I recently joined) hosted the largest sales career fair in the nation. So, it was kind of a big deal. Well, I wasn't all that thrilled with my choices of companies to intern with. After talking to companies like Whirlpool, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Hershey, and some student led internships I was more discouraged than anything. Nothing seemed like a good fit for me or anything that I was interested in or could get excited about.

The next day I was pretty discouraged and did a lot of processing and praying about what if I'm in the wrong major, am I really going to get what I want even if I try really hard to get it, is this what God wants me to do with my life... things like that.

About a month ago I wrote down a list of names of people I knew in different companies that could possibly help me get a good internship or people that said they would help me look. I came up with about 12 people. I had tried to contact a few of them but things just weren't falling into place like I would have liked. I continued down my list and contacted Luke Matz via facebook. Over the summer we talked a little about sales and he said when I came to the point of needing an internship he told me to talk to him about it, so I did. We had been emailing back and forth and I was telling him some of the things I was looking for and yesterday I get an email saying, "I can help." What I am going to be doing is co-traveling with Luke and visiting doctors and working at their branch in South Bend one day. He does dental equipment sales. This internship is something much more of what I was leaning towards. I was sooo excited to read that message from him. It works out perfect because I can still take summer classes first summer session. Which I have to take Marketing 300 before I can get credit for an internship anyways. Then I will be on track to graduate July 2012.

Things are really falling into place and I couldn't be happier. It just shows how good God is when I was feeling like giving up he was there.

Crazy Busy!

It have been quite some time since I have blogged. I have been extremely busy lately but it's been good busy not stress busy. I have been getting more involved in school which is a good thing. Since I have switched my major to business I feel more at home. I really enjoy my classes a lot more even the ones that aren't that fun and I am determined and motivated to get good grades in all my classes. I also recently join Pi Sigma Epsilon. PSE is a business fraternity. And yes girls can be in it.. its coed. Being in PSE for only a short time I've already made new friends and am having a lot of fun. We have gone to a Pacers game, a company called TQL donated $2000 dollars to us and took us to Scotty's Brewhouse for dinner and paid for everything, we've had a bake sale, put on a basketball tournament called Winter Jam.. and so much more. At the end of March we will be going to a PSE National Conference in Orlando and I cannot wait. Not only will we have a lot of fun I'm sure but there will be a career fair there, many workshops, and sale competitions going on. Everyone I talked to says it's a life changing experience and I cannot wait to go.

On top of all that business I am still working at the football stadium everyday and babysitting 3 days a week. I recently started donating plasma but the facility in Muncie stresses me out every time I go because the people or their system or something is so unorganized it's frustrating. I also am making it a habit to do some sort of homework everyday even if I don't technically have any.. which is progress already from last semester. I did end up with good grades last semester though.

We have a sales career fair coming up on Monday. I am still deciding whether or not I'm going to get an internship this summer or not. If I want to graduate somewhat on time I need to take summer classes but its highly recommended that I get an internship.. I may get one in the fall in that case. That is all still up in the air.

Regardless of the busyness in my life I am going to try to blog more to keep you all updated on the wonderful life of Jeni Dunithan because I know how much you all enjoy reading about my life ;)

Untill next time....

Miss Claire Hazen

This is Claire Hazen one of the little girls I baby sit and she is the smartest 3 year old I know... but if you had 6 older brothers and sister pretty sure you'd learn a lot too not to mention one younger one.

I baby sit Claire and Lydia (18months) a couple times a week and Claire is hilarious! Lydia pretty much napped the whole time I was there this day so Claire and I had a photo shoot I was trying to teach her to do a fishy face...

and a kissy face...

and a silly face...

and a cute face...

A few funny stories about Claire... One day I went over to watch her and she looked really sad and sighed really big I said Claire what's wrong and she just pointed across the room to a few toys on the ground. I said what is that stuff bothering you? She said (in a mother like voice) I JUST CLEANED! I about lost it.. bet she's heard that saying a few times before.

Last time I watched her she kept telling me how much she loved me and I just couldn't get enough of it..
Claire: I love you Jeni
Jeni: I love you too Claire
Claire: I love you Jeni
Jeni: I love you more
Claire I love you most
Jeni: I love you A LOT
Claire: I love you a lotest

I had a few videos of her signing some pretty popular songs and it was hilarious because she would sing parts and make the rest up but it amazingly still fit the tune of the song. I also have a few where she made up her own song... I just can't figure out how to get them off my phone.

Summer

Since I didn't blog all summer I figured I'd fill you in on some things that I did.

I work at the Frog A LOT!! This isn't a bad thing.. I was able to save enough money to pay for all my rent for a year plus have quite a bit extra money to live off of.. even though I still have a job down here at school.

I went to Zac Brown Band concert in Ft. Wayne and that was really fun with Laura and Tricia.
I also went to a James Otto concert with my roommate Taylor. Funny story about it... She originally told me it was a Kelli Pickler concert and we were both sooo excited then come to find out she didn't come and they put James Otto in instead. Taylor tells me this the day of which was fine I was going regardless to hang out with her. So her dad is driving all of us and Taylor also told me the concert was in Huntington... nope.. it was in Warren. So I'm thinking I'm going to a Kelli Pickler concert in Huntington and I get James Otto in Warren. Haha gotta love Taylor! We had a blast!
I got to play the cowbell with a band at the Frog, 40% Steve to Low Rider... and I was REALLY good at it! Thinking of starting my own band someday! I had pictures of me playing the cowbell but I don't have access to them... long story but I'm sure you can imagine.
Took a solo train ride to Chicago to stay with my friend Ben who just recently got a job in the big city.. we went to a Cubs game and got 2nd row seats to the right behind the dugout. Ben's building manager for his apartment just gave them to him.. kinda a steal! I don't really follow baseball all the much nor do I have a favorite team but it was really fun to go.
This was the view out of Ben's apartment. If I woke up to that every morning I think I would be so motivated to conquer the world. I've been to Chicago several times mainly to go shopping but Ben showed me all over Wrigleyville and other little "towns" and it was so amazing. I also got to see my first transvesdite and hopefully my last :/
Those are just a few big things I did this summer.. all in all I had a great summer!

That's My Brother....

New favorite commercial!!

I'm Back!

Hello Blog Readers!

I want to apologize for my lack of blogging for the past several months. I have been so incredibly busy! I wanted to start up as soon as I got back to school but that obviously didn't happen until now.. a month into school. I was trying to finish up online classes from the summer that over lapped into the school year. Let's just say never again will I do that HA!

So I must dedicate my motivation for starting to blog again to someone.. I actually have never met her nor do I know her name, but my roommates Taylor has this friend Emily who's sister reads my blog. She told Emily to tell Taylor to tell me to start blogging again because she likes to read my blog and that made me feel pretty good, so I had to start it up again on behalf of what I like to call "my fan" hah :)

So I want to welcome you all to apartment 405!

This is our living room

Here is our dinning room table that I score for $25 down the road from my house. It is a great table we all love it seeing as how we didn't have a table last year. Thanks to my mom reupholstering the seats of the chair and my dad redoing the back of the chair. I don't know the technical term for that but it looked cool when he was doing it.

We do love our table BUT it's totally not level. Our living room/dinning room floor caves in. I'm convinced one day we are all gonna fall through the floor but I'm just glad we're on the top floor so I won't be squished underneath. Sorry apartment 305 :/ Part of me wonders what their ceiling looks like..
I like that you can see our table from our kitchen. This way we can have a conversation with whoever is cooking or doing homework at the table.
From previous blogs we all know that I was really excited about the garbage disposal and yes it's everything I wanted and more. You can just clear your plate right in the sink it's amazing! I also like the rest of our kitchen we have lots of cabinet space plenty of counter space. Our dishwasher is just a tiny thing though but I'm still happy we have one.
As for our washer and dryer... well it cleans my clothes well it's just in a tiny room where you can't even open the dryer door all the way. It's a tight fit but gets the job done.
Now to my favorite room in our apartment... MY ROOM! :) Same stuff as last year and its a lot smaller but it's still my space. As you can see the majority of my room is bed and I had to downsize my desk from last year. The other piece is in our dinning room you can see in an above picture.
This is where I hang my purses, scarves, and jackets... when the light are off and I'm going to bed I always get scared because in the dark this innocent pile of accessories looks like a scary man with a sheet over his head... I know I'm 20 years old and I'm still scared of the dark.
This was my big purchase of the year from my summer working at the Frog. I bought a 32" plasma t.v. and this nice little t.v. stand to go under it. And yes I put it all together all by myself.
Okay now you've seen my new place and I'm starting to have more time to do fun things like blog so I promise to keep up with it. Trust me I have lots to blog about I even made a list of things to blog about when I couldn't blog.. I've missed it.

Spring Break 2010

Spring Break was defiantly different than last year but we still had a lot of fun! There was a bunch more drama this year compared to last year when there was none. But you learn to handle those situations and move along.. which is exactly what I did. I didn't let it ruin my vacation.
Here are the girls I went with. I didn't really know them that well except Taylor but we had a lot of fun.Some things I learned on spring break....

1. Mac N Cheese + potato chips= really yummy
2. Nothing in life is free... there is always a catch.
3. Always melt butter BEFORE you put it on your pancakes it soaks in so much better. There was an outreach group that put on a free pancake breakfast each morning for everyone on spring break and they melted the butter in a big pot and scooped it on your pancakes for you... on boy it was yummy. I asked for two scoops... on my way to high cholesterol and I love it!
4. How much of a ditz I am...
So I thought I lost my phone somewhere in out hotel room so I borrowed one of the girls' phones to call mine... Some guy answered my phone. I was like oh my how'd you get my phone I need my phone back I must had left it somewhere can I meet you somewhere to get my phone back I really need it back. The guy was like no this is my phone my name is Ryan my number is xxx-xxx-xxxx. I tell the guy oh Ryan that's my brother's name... he goes "JENI?" I'm thinking how does he know my name.. then it hit me. I'm the dumbest person in the world. Instead of calling my phone number I dialed my brother's who's number is one digit different than mine. I legit thought that some guy had my phone. Probably the funniest thing that has ever happened to me!
5. Who your true friends really are
Like I said earlier there was a lot of drama on the trip but we still made the most of it and I wouldn't have had a better time without Taylor there. She is truly a great friend. We always have the most fun together.
I'm already saving for Panama City Beach Spring Break 2011.

Valentines Day

For Valentines Day since I didn't have a Valentine I tried to make the most of my day... I was very productive around the house even cleaned my closet out! I did some homework and then decided I would treat myself to a LARGE starbucks caramel machiato (not sure on the spelling) and boy was it yummy.

I decided to rent a movie and I didn't really want a love sappy one because that just makes me alone on V-day even more depressing... so I rented a movie called "The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas" It was about the holocaust and after watching it I realized I have no reason to sit here and be sad about Valentines Day. It was one of the saddest movies I've ever watched. I didn't cry or anything but I was shocked beyond belief. I watch it with two of my girl friends and after the movie we all just sat there and watched the credits roll by with nothing to say to each other. We just couldn't end our day on that note so we had to watch another movie... Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

We overloaded on chocolate, popcorn, cookies, and candy. Way too much!

My favorite part about Valentines Day is my grandma's cookies. We get them ever year and she sent me a whole bunch of them! BEST COOKIES EVER!

Hope everyone had a great V-Day!

Snowy Snow Snow!

Say hello to Mr. Snowman! Isn't he cool? Down here in Muncie we got lots and lots of snow. There are 4 foot drifts and it was so fun to play in! Built snowmen, had no ball fights, and attempted to make a snow fort.

The only bad thing about this snow is my car has been pushed out of the snow five times. It doesn't do well in snow. BUT I met a lot of new people like 3 football players that live down the road from me ;) haha Gotta work my charm to get help around here! Helpless little Jeni can't do it all by herself!

The Joys of College.

Last weekend my roommates all left me alone. My dear friend Chelsie's roommate left her too. My friend John, his roommates left him too... and Cameron yup you guess it.. all alone. We all tried to make the weekend fun without everyone. Friday night John threw a party and Chelsie and I went over not knowing anyone but John and danced the whole time! So we found this tv thing on Demand on how to pop your booty. Oh my it was the funniest thing ever. Just imagine a bunch of 18-22 year old kids boys and girls at a party doing the booty pop. HILARIOUS!!!

Yay! NO SLING! I had just gotten it off so I was excited to go out!
The next day I stayed over at Chelsie's house and we ordered pizza watched Sex and the City drank a little wine and yes, built a tent in her living room and camped out in it. We had a few friends stop by and visit us but mostly we had a good ol time by ourselves. The weekend was actually pretty fun with the majority of our friends gone!

Back to the Blog

I know it's been awhile since I've blogged and I'm sure I have lots to blog about I'm just not sure where to begin...

The Holidays

Christmas break was a really nice get away... I got away from school, studying, people, and frozen foods. My favorite part about the holidays is all the yummy food and of course visiting with my family and friends.

Here is our traditional family picture by the tree we have one every year, but this year it got a little bigger with Lindsey and CJ and of course my lovely sling.

I didn't do a whole lot over break but still had fun. I went to a colts game with a friend from school. Played some board games with Kaase, Maddie Miller, and Brad Granger and went out to lunch with Kindra and Jordy. And played rock band with my brother and sister-in-law and some of their friends.I went out with Kristen and some other girls on new years and we had a blast!
Then had the traditional new years dinner... beef fondu and my mom made a cheese one this year that was really delicious.

Other than that it was all family fun! :) By the end of break I was definitely ready to go back though. Which is a good thing... if I'm ready to go back that means I'm motivated to start classes again. The day I went back I think I called my mom at least 5 times to tell her little things so I don't know if I was 100% ready to go back.

Surgery

my surgery went really well. There weren't any complications and when I woke up I was ready to get the heck out of there. I even stayed awake the whole ride home and talk to my mom. I wasn't in any pain really. My surgeon did however, tell me that my labrum wasn't torn like we thought, which is a good thing, but he said that the ligaments that hold the labrum in place were really loose and this could have been from it not healing properly the last time OR my last surgeon didn't tighten them up... I gonna go with option #2.

The whole thing hasn't been too bad and only one week left and I get my lovely sling off... I'm gonna miss it just look at how good I look in it...
I know I know... I should be America's next top model!

New Semester

This semester is ALOT easier and less stressful than last semester. I am taking 12 credit hours and two of those 4 classes are online which is good for me. I like to work at my own pace. My favorite class is Nutrition. Ever since I got back to school I have been eating a lot healthier, not that I was a bad eater before. My class is really interesting to me because I enjoy learning about that stuff which is a good thing... easy A I'm thinking. I'm off to a really good start in all my classes! I'm shooting for all A's this semester we'll see how I do.

The two classes I do have on campus are in the evening so it's really nice. I don't get to sleep in though because I work but that's okay it motivates me to get out of bed and actually study when I have down time instead of sleeping my day away. But most all my roommates have 8am classes so they got to bed early now :( I'm not used to staying up late every let alone by myself... guess I'll adjust.

I promise to not wait so long before my next blog!

Sicky

Finals week is finally here and I'm SO excited! NOT!! Every semester during finals week I have been sick and it never fails.... I'm sick again. I'm starting to think I'm allergic to finals. Do you think my professors will take that as a legit excuse? Probably not.

This morning I got up and went to walmart and bought... an onion, lemons, lysol, gatorade, cold medicine, vitamin c drops, and peppermint tea all to try and cure myself before Thursday. If I am not better before Thursday I will have to postpone my surgery and I don't want that. Right now I'm sitting in my room with a onion and a cinnamon candle lite. It's a weird combo to smell together but I'm trying anything and everything!!

I'm excited to be home in just a few days!!

A New Place to Live.....

Anna, Taylor, and I found the cutest apartments that we are going to live in next year as juniors. I am so excited to live with just the three of us it's going to be a TON of fun! We all get along well now and hang out all the time so we figured it would be a good living idea for next year too.

Our apartment has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a nice kitchen with a dishwasher and garbage disposal, a very nice sized living room, and a dinning room. Not only is our apartment nice but it is a great location too. We will actually be living closer to campus than we are now... and we aren't very far now. Also included in this package is free access to a weight/work out room, free tanning, free movie rental, free access to a computer and printer, $.25 16oz. Styrofoam cups to fill with fountain pop. (Pepsi or Coke Products) that is very important.. I need my Diet Coke :), a basketball court, a sand volley ball court, and a pool! We are also aloud to have pets but none of us want that responsibility while we are in school maybe I'll get a fish!

We are all really excited for next year already!

Long Time No Blog...

I know it's been awhile since I've blogged but I feel the need to update everyone on what's going on in my life right now because there sure is a lot.

To start off my computer crashed a few weeks ago losing all the documents and pictures because this ding dong didn't back her files up. :( Then after that my phone pretty much crashed as well and had to buy a new battery which put me out forty dollars (or mom and dad they just don't know it yet) guess now ya do! Thanks Love you! :) I have every intention to pay them back because I am trying to be self sufficient! This is why I got my-self a new job at school. I don't remember if I have blogged about it before or not but I now work at the football stadium for the head athletic trainer as his assistant. I love my job and I love going to work. I have met so many new people and what girl wouldn't want to be in my position! hehe Neal (my boss) is really good to me though he helps me out with whatever I need and I do the same for him. He took me to my doctors appointment last Friday so I wouldn't have to go alone just to hear that I will be having a 3rd surgery on my shoulder. Yes, the same one I've already had two on. I kind of new it would come to this so I wasn't really too bummed, don't get me wrong I am bummed but I just want my shoulder to be fixed! This time they are going to cut me all the way open and really get in there which I am okay with as long as it works better. I am going to a really great doctor recommended by Neal who works at Methodist Sports Medicine and everyone in there wears a Colts jersey! Who couldn't love a place like that. Speaking of the Colts how about that amazing 4th quarter on Sunday! :) The living situation is still going pretty well. I just bought a new picture a few weeks back that I love but it's still sitting on my floor because I tried to hang it and didn't find the stud first.... Oops! I have a nice new hole in the wall!

This week is so incredibly busy for me I can't wait for it to be over! Let me just give you a overview and see if anyone misses college studying... I have yet to go to sleep, stayed up all night writing a microbiology lab report (yes it's my own fault I'm a procrastinator) but I feel like its the best thing I've ever written so if I don't get an A on it I just might explode! I have an anatomy exam tomorrow. I have a microbiology exam on Friday along with an Edpsych exam. I have a group project due a week from today and our group has only met twice. Talk about stress! To be honest though I'm not all that stressed I just wish there were more hours in a day or I wasn't such a baby and could stay awake longer than 11:00 guess I proved that last night but I'm paying for it today.

On a lighter note yesterday I received a care package in the mail from my grandma and it just brightened my day right up and all my roommates because it had lots of goodies in it like homemade hard candy which my roommates were more excited than I was I think haha and I was really excited! And the best cookies that I used to help make but had to grow up and go to school :( But I still get to enjoy them :) Speaking of growing up 15 more days and I will no longer be a teenage! WaHoo! The big 20... it's kind of weird I still feel like it was my first day of highschool!

Here are some fun pictures for ya...

I got asked last minute to go to a fraternity formal... same one I went to last year but with a different guy. This is Marcus in the picture (we are just friends for any curious people out there) But I had a blast with him we dance pretty much the whole time. It was at a country club and it was really nice. I just loved getting all dressed up.

Afterwards we went back to the frat and just hung out with a few people nothing big and I played with this snake... reminds me of when I was little and Matt, Ryan, and I and the neighbor boys would collect as many snakes as we could and put them in a pool. I of course named them all. Not your typical little girl...

One weekend Taylor, Chelsie, and I had ourselves a mini girls night and just stayed in being extremely goofy. Those are the funnest night I think. We all three slept on the futon and I called the middle thinking I would stay warm all night. BAD idea! Worst night of sleep I ever had in my life but it was fun.

Chelsie and I woke up that morning and made chocolate chip pancakes thinking we would be good friends and bring Taylor breakfast in bed. Bad idea number two! Talk about being grouchy in the morning! She didn't appreciate it and they were even in the shape of Mickey Mouse! Psh see if we ever do anything nice for her again! Okay she really did love it but it took her awhile and a bit of yelling and this sad face to make her actually want to get up and eat these delicious pancakes.

Well that's about all that has been going on with me... it's a load but I wouldn't know what to do if it wasn't. Hope everyone has a great week!
