The Weekend.

I had a very eventful weekend to say the least!

Friday night I get home and I had a little date with one of my old friends Jordan Taylor (Fred) and we went to Ruby Tuesday where Krista works to see her! It was a really good time to catch up with Fred and to see Krista as well. Afterward Fred and I went back to my house and sat in the hot tub for a bit until I was about ready to pass out from my lack of sleep.

The next morning my Dad woke me up bright and early to go out for breakfast at Syracuse Cafe. I just love the little cafe's in Syracuse reminds me of how much I love being in a small town. You walk and know the majority of the people in there.

So after breakfast Dad and I headed out to Wawasee golf course. We had so much fun golfing!!
I am a terrible golfer but I still won because we declared before the game that high score wins!

Dad said our goal was to finish with the same ball we started and that we did! :)
I had a little golf dance going on... when I would walk up to tee off I would always hit my ankles with the club and ended up jumping around like an idiot because it hurt so bad. I did this at least 3 times. You'd think I'd learn my lesson

That evening I went out to eat with my Aunt Angie and soon to be sister-in-law Lindsey. We went to eat at NoaNoa! Yum!

For Lindsey's bachelorette party Angie got tickets for the three of us to go see the Chippendales at the Wagon Wheel.
This was one of the funniest things I've ever seen! We had a really good time needless to say!

Sunday rolls around and I'm really excited because my friend Alisha and I are planning on hanging out. I hadn't seen Alisha is three years or so and we slowly started talking again last summer when she had written me a letter.

I had talked to her on facebook and said hey I'm coming home would you want to hang out and she was all for it. We went to get ice cream and took her kids to the park to play and they are so adorbale! It was alot of fun... we talked about old funny memories and how much people have changed. It's so good to have Alisha back in my life she has changed so much. It was a great way to end my weekend!

When I got back to my room Kate's dad had come up over the weekend to take our lofts down and I come back to a totally different room but I like it. I love not having to climb up into bed.

Before
After
Not a very good view from the picture but you get the idea!

study study study---and a mini date ;)

Right now I am running on zero hours of sleep. Silly me being the procrastinator that I am forgot that I have a five page paper due at ten o'clock this morning. On top of that I have a chem exam at 11. I know I just stayed up all night writing a paper what am I still doing awake blogging at that? Well my theory is that if I fall asleep for two hours I will have to wake up and won't want to wake up and I'll be exhausted for my test so I figured why not stay awake and study more and crash later! I know my plan will probably kick me in the butt later.. like when i wake up early tomorrow morning to go golfing with my Dad and I can't lift a single club. Hmm I shoulda thought that one through.

Last night mid-studying I had a mini-date. hah It wasn't really a date but I was meeting up with this guy (Rocky) to go watch a show. Met him there and paid for myself so take it as you will. I had no idea what I was going to see I get there and the sign said Mr. and Ms. BSU thinking it was some sort of pageant. Little did I know it was a body building competition. It was probably the most interesting thing ever. Everyone was ripped and they painted their bodies in this bronze color and stood up there and flexed and did these routines it was very entertaining to say the least. But I met this guy on spring break but he goes to Ball State and is a Junior. He's really cute and really nice.... BUT... I'm not sure if I could see myself dating him. But it was definatly a fun get away from studying.

After my chem exam I'm headed home and have a very eventful weekend ahead of me... finally something to blog about! Stay tuned :)

Coming to an end

It's been awhile since I have blogged and honestly I don't know what to blog about.. my life hasn't been too excited these past few weeks, with the exceptions of my weekends but I'm waiting on pictures to blog about that silly me I left my camera at home.

The semester is coming to an end and I only have two weeks then three days of finals! This semester was easy for the most part... and as for my grades good all except one. Ut Oh! I feel like a failure but when your professor is ninety years old, wrote the book for the class, reads straight from power points in a three hour long class what do you expect? Definitely not for Jeni to pay any kind of attention.

Looking back on my first year of college....

Some things that I have learned

1. There aren't just two types of people in this world. Coming from a small town my world was the size of a peanut. I had been a few places and experienced quite a lot but haven't really met many people that were out of the ordinary. Well I learned quickly there are a lot strange people with many different beliefs. I had always heard about other beliefs or nonbeliefs but they seemed so surreal to me until I actually met or talked to people. For example, there is a girl who lives in my building that thinks she is a witch. She asked someone if they wanted her to put a hex on someone else... she was totally serious! talk about creepy!

2. Not everyone is like me. That kind of goes along with #1 but being in a small living area with people I've learned a lot about other people and how they work like what they say and what they really mean. I have learned a lot more about people after living in the dorms.

3. I hate loose hair. I grew up in a house with pretty much all boys except my mom and the only hair I really saw was my own. Kate and I have to clean our rug like every other day if we want it to be clean cuz our hair sheds so much and just sticks to the rug... we don't clean our rug very often to you can imagine the grossness

4. Sticky notes are my best friend. I make tons of lists and reminders on sticky notes without them I would forget what I was doing or be lost.

5. The value of a dollar. Things I could get for a dollar... $.89 cheeseburger at McDonalds. One load of laundry. 45 mins at a parking meter (which isn't long enough... $150 dollars worth of parking tickets later I learned my lesson). $.89 for a bag of popcorn... for awhile I would eat two bags a day! I cut back.

6. Who my real friends are from highschool. I keep in contact with a few people from highschool but not as many as I thought I would sad but I'm glad for the ones I have.

Friends that I have made...

Allie, Kate, Sara, Brianna, me and Kelly... These are the 5th floor girls that I have come to love! Kate and Kalyin are not in this picture but they belong there!
Jess, Kate, me, Charissa, and Taylor... the girls i will be living with next year :)
the two girls on the end are Chelsie and Franie... both super nice and fun
This guy behind me is Dave... oh Dave! Super HOT Dave! (not a great picture but oh well) lol SOO glad I met him... he's nice to look at but too bad he has a girlfriend. From my face you could tell he's a funny guy lol
Sara and Avery... they have been together for a really long time and they are two of my most favorite people ever!! I will miss them alot this summer!

That's just a few things to look back! Summer here I come :)

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!

Coming soon.... blog about Spring Break 2009.

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 :)
