Rain, Rain, Go Away...

Labor day weekend was ok. Went to RI to visit the fam for Poppa's 80th birthday party. It was good seeing everyone for that short time. Yeahhh thats about it.

Well.. classes blow. At least there are a good group of us with all the same classes, so whatever projects we have to do, we'll just do them together. Easy and convenient.

Nick left for TBS on Thursday. 6 months till he can come back home again. Sucks. At least we get to talk to him more than once a week tho, and we can visit him/he can visit us, so that will be good. But still.. 6 months. That's a damn long time. Not to mention the 2 years he'll be in flight school... Dont even wanna think about it.

Speaking of distance, I think I'm just now realizing how hard it is gonna be without seeing Matt till Thanksgiving Break... It's only been 2 weeks since he left, but seems like 2 months. Hopefully as more stuff gets thrown on my plate, the time will seem to go by quicker. Hopefully...

It's probably a jynx to say that I'm pretty damn happy with my life right now... so I'll knock on wood.

Welcome Week

Well the drive up here was pretty good. Long, but it all worked out. Stayed with Ben the first night, then Tom and Jess the second night.

Welcome Week was quite the week. Partied non-stop all week.. definitely how a welcome week should be. Met all the neighbors, had a shit ton of fun, got pretty drunk every night, and Matt was here, which made it 100 times better :-) There's nothing quite like beer pong and slip n slide in the rain. A welcome week to remember for sure.

Classes officially started yesterday. Seem ok. Barely any exams, but a shit ton of projects and group projects. Good thing I have the same people in all of my classes, so we can all work together at one time and get it done. 18 credits is gonna be a killerrr. 2 finals so far, not too shabby.

RI this weekend.. or a day. Whatev. Should be good to see the cousins and gparents I guess. Although I could think of many other ways to spend my Labor Day weekend..

Thats about it.

Last few days...

Quantico was quite the trip. The ceremony was awesome!! Unlike anything you've ever seen before. The precision and how in-sync they all were when they marched during the parade was incredible. Took tons of pics! The actual graduation ceremony was sweet too. The second highest ranked General in the Marines gave the speech. Afterwords he shook all their hands, Nick was the first one, front row, and he looked like he was star-struck. Haha. So yeah, now he's a 2nd Lt and pretty damn excited about it.

Went out with old friends a few days ago. Dinner and the bar, just like old times. Good talks, good drinks, and good times.

Leaving in 2 days for MI. I'm pumped. Actually, I'm really excited to spend some quality time with Matt.. 3 days in a car.. what could be a better test to a relationship? Haha. Also just as excited to see everyone again and move in to our new (old) house! Wahooo! Saturday couldn't come quick enough.

Last few weeks...

I love not having an actual schedule that I have to stick to. I was planning on staying in Waco only till Sunday, and ended up staying until Wednesday. I just didn't want to go home. Never saw the point of sitting around my house by myself when I could be wasting time with the boy and his friends, actually having a social life for the few remaining days of summer vacation. It was quite the vacation indeed. BBQs, cheap 50 cent movies, partying, cajun food, Worms, just some good ol' fashioned relaxation. Great way to end the summer.

Leaving tomorrow for Virginia to see Nick graduate from OCS. It's wild, really, cuz as much as I want to think he's going to be the same old Nick, he's probably going to be completely different. So after 10 weeks of training and 10 pounds added on to him, I'm looking forward to seeing him again.

After I get back from VA, its on to packing, then leaving for MI next Saturday with Matt. Crazy.

Where did the summer go?

6 months!?

Just got back from a weekend in Houston. Great times surfing at the beach. Getting a lot better, thats for sure. Starting to surf the bigger waves.. ooooh yeah! haha. Finally saw the beach after 2 years?.. Either way its been toooooo long!

Goin to Waco from Wed - Sun to celebrate our 6 month. Crazyyy. Cant believe its been 6 already! What a ride.

Yup, then next weekend its Nicks graduation from OCS, then a week off, then start driving home w/ Matt. This summer has been so short, or so it seemed short. I dont even want to think about packing yet.. my car is gonna be full. Hopefully it will make it!

Anyhoot, time to go finish my paper and layout some more. Yay pool!

fired. yay!

WOOO!! is it bad that I'm ecstatic to be fired from this job?! HELL YEAH! haha
I made $2500 this summer by waking up early, sitting on my ass all day, yelling at kids, and eating. Easy money. Could have made $3o00, but oh well, thats the way the cookie crumbled this time. All in all, I hated the experience, and it probably will not be going on my resume when I apply for jobs in the future. It was only good for college credit, and thats about it.

Anyhoot. Matt's coming here this weekend :-) Should be a grand ol' time consisting of laying out by the pool, drinking, bar, maybe a movie?, then some swimming in the river if all goes well. 6 months is right around the corner... this is quite the accomplishment for me, considering I usually get sick of guys after the first month or so.. haha. Must be something about him that I just can't resist ;-)

Cheers to not having to wake up at 5:40 anymore this summer, getting splitting headaches listening to kids scream and complain, and getting bitched at by the boss!

Happy 4th!

Had a pretty good 4th this year. Went up to JC and spent it with Matt and his friends. Went to a party, drank a lot, didn't feel a thing tho. It's weird how that happens. Oh well. The rest of the weekend consisted of Lone Star, naps, IKEA trip in Austin, Justin... ohhh Justin, and just good ol' relaxing. Felt good after a long week. 4 more to go!
Wisdom teeth get taken out on Friday.. gonna look like a high chipmunk for the weekend. Exciting. haha
Finally got some rain around here. I swear if you lit a match and threw it on the ground, the whole state of Texas would catch fire and disappear. Crazy dry.
Thats about it... besides the fact that I want to murder every child at this camp.
