printer palooza

I honestly have no idea what palozza means but oh well... it sounds cool

So someone gave me a printer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Mac compatible and it didn't have a USB port so I went out and bought myself a printer

I got myself a prettty white printer, scanner, card reader, and copier! How cool is that!

I even set it all up myself! I am so super proud of myself!

labor day weekend

I went home for the weekend which was great because I got to see a lot of people I hadn't seen in a while, even since before I left for school... but Dad was working on the Mattingly's house for Extreme Makeover so I really didn't get to see him until Monday and mom went to the river so it was just me Saturday and Sunday.... I went on a long bike ride which I decided I will get my bike up here in Bowling Green at school because that is super fun to ride haha... but anyways my favorite part about the weekend was daddy time on Monday

Dad and I slept in and then went and ate at Cracker Barrel and then we did like we always do when we are together, I talk alot and he attempts to listen and he tells me some stuff and then we go look at a job site and load a trailer up or something of that sort because I think that stuff is super cool.... Well I watched him do some stuff on the excavator which really makes me want to become a heavy equipment operator but that is besides the point. We went to rural king to get something for his work and went and got my bike so he can get it fixed. Mostly we rode around in his truck and just had time together which I love... He is probably what I miss most about home.

I ended up having to go to the doctor because I have been sick for who knows how long and I have a throat and sinus infection which is ZERO fun. Thankfully, we have family here in BG that has a pharmacy so he got me the medicines quickly and I'm on an antibiotic and cough medicine. The cough medicine knocks me out which it's starting to work now so adios my friends... theres my most recent update


oh and I studied for 3 hours tonight, I'm proud of myself...

History = horrible

History 119 is going to be the death of me. This class is the reason I am sitting at my desk right now and the reason I sat at my desk for 2 1/2 hours last night... I am going to have to constantly study for this class and I probably won't have a life with this class...

He told us it would probably be our hardest Gen Ed class and I believe him... I am already NOT good at History and then I have a very difficult class... This will be a test of my patience for sure but I will make it though this class!

Oh well, off to studying... I figured I would let you all know about how horrible this class would be

Oh and to make matters worse, I have this class with Luke (my cousin)... who studied for 30 minutes last night and remembered more than I who studied for 2 1/2 hours and took 4 pages (front AND back) of notes.... I mean seriously? Why can't history come easy for me!

First day of college! (it's a lengthy one)

I made it through my first and second day as a college student... so here is my story :)

On Monday I woke up in time to take a shower and get ready which is impressive for me even though I still just threw my hair up in a pony tail, but hey it's college, who do I need to impress?
I ate my cereal (with the gross red top milk because thats ALL they had, grosss) so I could be ready for the day ahead! I loaded up my backpack and took my first day of school picture and off to class I went.

First class was econ, I walked into the wrong building but there was a sweet guy that I said is this Grise Hall and he said no and pointed me in the right direction :) Econ went good, especially when I realized the guy that sat next to me had Toms shoes on just like me! I didn't tell him how cool I thought he was just because of his shoes but he definitely has got to be cool! I was singled out for being a Math Major he wanted me to figure out this problem that I had no idea how to do and I just said well heck I don't know! but I have a feeling Economics is going to be super easy because of my teacher Mr. Dixon in Gulf Shores that prepared me so well! After Economics I headed to Biology. I found the right place and everything but definitely TRIPPED up the stairs right in front of a guy and we both started laughing and he asked if i was okay and I said no biggy it happens all the time, I'm sure he's still laughing because it was quite hilarious! Biology will be easy, it's a big class, which I like! After Biology is Western Civ which is going to be ridiculously hard. Luke (my cousin) and I have that class together, he was late but I picked up papers for him and caught him up :) My professor talks super fast and I can't write that fast but I will pass the class I am determined! Luke and I then went to chik fil a and ate lunch... I love having my cousin here, he definitely helps make it not so hard to be away from home we laugh alot.

We were definitely blessed yesterday with beautiful weather.

On Mondays I have a class called Step 1 which is like exploring if teaching math or science is something you really want to do. I have a feeling I am going to LOVE that class. It's going to be super fun. We actually get to go to schools and teach lessons to 4th, 5th, or 6th graders! I can't wait!

After that I came up to the dorm and CRASHED!

Tuesday (today) was great. Class doesn't start on Tuesdays until 935 and my first class is Life Fitness. Our professor requested a big room to seat around 90 people considering our class had 78 but they gave him a room that only seats 45. Therefore we were forced to split into two groups. Meaning I only have to go to class on Tuesdays now instead of both Tuesdays and Thursdays! SWEEEET. Then I have my easy one hour class called University Experience that is just about college in general so I think it will be fun. I got to eat at a food court called Garret that I hadn't eaten at yet with Audrey and Jamon and it was pretty good. I am impressed!

I then came back to the dorm and took a nap and now I am doing homework and have a floor meeting at 730. I love college!
