Tuesday's are a very important day. Lots of fun events take place on Tuesdays....
This particular Tuesday was not so fun. I had an anatomy practical and a micro biology exam. Plus two labs to go to. Not so fun... BUT... tonight is fun.
Our neighbors down the road and our house have been going to Buffalo Wild Wings on Tuesdays for $.40 wings. It's a lot of fun to go with those guys. We call the the guys from 1128 because that is where they live (smart huh!) We have the same landlord and there are six of them but they are a blast and we have really gotten to know and love these guys.
Also on Tuesdays my friend Sean O'Connor has a bunch of people over at this house. It's always a good time because I literally laugh the whole night! It's a good get away for me! The guys who live there are just so funny!
That's my typical Tuesday.

My Room
I know I've been at school for quit some time now but my room finally has all its pieces. My parents came down today with my desk to top everything off and it is by far the coolest desk ever... but we'll get to that. Here is my bed... I debated on colors forever and I was planning on doing black and maroon but I feel in love with this quilt and couldn't say no. So I splurged a little and bought it.
Its my book shelf and my desk all in one. Now I have a perfect place to blog and do homework :/ But it makes homework a bit more tolerable than having to go the library or sit on the floor. The sign above my desk my Dad didn't make. I got that nice little piece from Shipshewanna but it matches perfectly.
I love my closet as well. It is pretty nice sized and it keeps me organized
two racks for clothes

I got this lovely dresser for free from a lady who lives right next to the Frog. She was going to throw it away and instead I gave the pieces to my dear old Dad and he fixed it right up for me. There was a leg missing and the wood pieces didn't really match but he took care of that. He made it a nice shiny black for me and slapped the leg right back on there.
As for the best part. I told my Dad at the beginning of the summer that I wanted him to build me a desk that would be perfect for me. We went through many ideas and many designs. Finally Dad brought home a picture similar to what you see below. He made a few modifications to accommodate what I wanted and WA LA we have a desk.

Thanks Dad. You did a great job! I'm sure I'll come up with something else for you to build!

Downer of a Day
This morning I went to see Ball State's head athletic trainer. He's kind of my go to guy down here when I need anything. I got this connection through working at The Frog (perks of the job). I called him up to catch up a little and ask for a favor... to look at my shoulder (Yes, the same one I've had two surgeries on).
This summer when working at The Frog we had like 100 bikers come in one day and we were all busting out butts to make sure everyone was waited on plus our normal customers. It was fun running around and doing all this plus I made good money that day. So I usually work outside on the patio and there are three steps to walk up to get inside. I am running up those steps to get inside quickly and yes, as graceful as I am I tripped. When I did this I threw my arm around (like I was throwing a baseball) to catch myself. While I'm doing this I throw my shoulder out of socket or so I think because it went right back in. The rest of the day and days after my shoulder continues to bother me.
I'm glad Neal is there to give me an honest and good opinion but I wish none of this was going on right now. I just feel like I have no time for this crap between coaching cheerleading and harder classes that I need to become a nurse it just frusterates me! Does this mean I can't coach and am I going to miss out on class stuff?
Neal did make a good point in saying that I am young so its good to get it done now otherwise my shoulder will be popping in and out the rest of my life and will only give me more trouble later in life. You'd think after two surgeries though... UGH!
Neal is going to make a few phone calls for me and I will hear back at the beginning of next week because this week is crazy because of our first football game! Go CARDS! I will keep you all updated! Hopefully with better news!
Initial Injury
This summer when working at The Frog we had like 100 bikers come in one day and we were all busting out butts to make sure everyone was waited on plus our normal customers. It was fun running around and doing all this plus I made good money that day. So I usually work outside on the patio and there are three steps to walk up to get inside. I am running up those steps to get inside quickly and yes, as graceful as I am I tripped. When I did this I threw my arm around (like I was throwing a baseball) to catch myself. While I'm doing this I throw my shoulder out of socket or so I think because it went right back in. The rest of the day and days after my shoulder continues to bother me.
When I decided to do something about it...
Down here at school I have a cheerleading coaching job. I also donate plasma for a little extra money. Why not just sit there with a needle in my arm for 45mins while doing homework and get paid for it. So I went there to try and donate again and they told me I needed to get a physical again because you have to get one ever six months or something like that. I am there getting my physical and they ask me about my surgeries and I tell them I don't think my shoulder is better. BIG MISTAKE! Little did I know I can't donate because I need my own plamsa to help heal my bum shoulder even if I don't know its torn. SO... I have to get a doctors release to donate.
This is where Neal the Athletic Trainer comes in. I called him up and we talked and just from talking he said it sounds like the surgical route will be the best option. :( Not something I want to hear first thing in the morning. So I'm thinking maybe I'm just being a baby or paranoid and my shoulder isn't really torn... or this is what I was praying for. Neal played with my shoulder just knowing from my description that it wasn't going to look good anyway. As he was assessing me his facial expressions didn't look too promising.
He's pretty sure that it is torn again and he said it was really weak and pinching in my shoulder and that it wasn't fully recovered from last time. He recommened some really good doctors and said that if I was going to get a third surgery that my best bet is to go to a really really good doctor... and Neal has good connections so I trust him. He said that since I've already had two surgeries that the third may be a bit tougher or at least the MRI would be a little harder to do. Neal also said that he would work with me on rehab if surgery was necessary. Not only is he the head athletic trainer but he is a Physical theorpists and has his own physical theory clinic.

Busy Busy
So thinking that since i started school my schedule would be more structured and I'd have time to do fun things like blog again... WRONG!
I have been so extremely busy its just crazy! The reason for this is because I hosted my cheerleading tryout. Boy oh boy what this hard. The first three days I did a clinic so the girls could learn the material. I learned very quickly where the attitude issues would be. It was fun to watch the girls work over the couple of days and to get to know them a little bit. I'm really excited about coaching. The girls kept saying over and over we just love you and you are so cool we are excited about this year. I'm not trying to boost myself up here by telling you this but I was very happy to hear that because I was neverous they wouldn't like me or think the material I came up with was stupid. The girls all seem really fun.
I did this from 3 to 7 everyday after my classes so it was really a load but now it won't be that much work.
My classes are all going pretty well. I like them all which is a good thing but some will be challenging. I am taking MicoBiology, Anatomy, Dance History, and EdPsych. My profs. are all really helpful which is nice. But my work load is already piling up :/
Living with the all the girls is going pretty well. We all get along and for me I'm so busy I don't have time to have conficts with any of them. But we've been having fun so far just being silly.
I will be heading to huntington tonight to visit my friends Krista and Johanna and then I'll be home Saturday and Sunday. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Getting back into the Blog of things
Now that work is basically done for me and my summer classes are over I have a lot more time to blog, which I am excited about. The summers are a really hard time for me to blog with so much going on... but now I must fill you in.
Here are some of my favorite people that I work with at my last day at work. Brandon is my favorite bartender.
This is Shoey. He would do anything thing for anyone! Nicest guy award! One day I was having a bad time at work and he went and bought me chocolate cake and two bingo lotto scratch off tickets. I didn't win anything but it def. made my day a little better. Shoey said he'd be my pen pal while I'm away at school which really excites me because I LOVE getting mail!
Laura and I always had so much fun. She is actually Steve's (the old bf) sister. Brain Fanning (DJ Tanner) DJ's at the Frog and is hilarious... always having a good time.
I'm definatly glad to be done working but I will miss the people I work with because they are so much fun!
**I am moving down to Muncie on Friday so I will be posted pictures of my new house and new roommate**

Even though the game was a bust I was having a great times seeing all the players up close and personal.
Freeney turned around and talked to us it was fun!
I had a great time! I was lucky to get to go!

Girls Night
A few of the girls I graduated with all decided to get dressed up and go out to dinner. For the past two weeks we have done this and it's the highlight of my week.
The first week we went to Cirilions (sorry for the spelling error) and got sushi. It was a lot of fun.
From Left to right: Me, Kristen Krizman, Kelsey Angel, Erin Wallace, Courtney Houston
The next week we all went to Ft. Wayne to the Takaoka House and it was delicious! The guy who cooked our food was hilarious!
Once again its: Me, Kelsey, Erin, Abby Cox, Kristen, and Carrie Kehoe
This week we decided to go to science central because none of us have been there since we were really little and we all have great memories there! I'm so excited!
