Excited for the Weekend! :)

So, in 15 minutes I will be leaving for a BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE concert!!! I am pretty psyched, as it is one of my favorite bands of all time...

And tomorrow, I will be heading up to Silver Lake for the weekend, for the first time this year! :)

I survived my week from hell, and did okay on my accounting exam, but not as well as I would have liked. But there's nothing I can do, other than work even harder for the next one.

So, after this weekend there is sure to be an update, with concert and beach pics hopefully!!

League

So we went discing for league yesterday, and we finally got to go with everyone else in league because Josh finally had a Saturday off, so it was really nice.

He shot a -6, the best score for the day, which also increases his lead to 9 strokes, which should help to keep him in first place.

I, however, did not do nearly as well as last week; I shot a +4, which is still an improvement over the beginning of league. I'm still in the running for most improved!

I have a feeling that this week is going to be one of the longest weeks of my life...Here's the schedule...

Mon: Exam in my 8:30-11:50 class, work 1-5.
Tues: Work 8-5, exam in my 6-9:20 class (but I'll be out by 8...yay.)
Wed: Presentation/Paper due in 8:30-11:50 class. work 1-5.
Thurs: Work 8-5, paper due in my 6-9:20 class.

Awesome.

So basically, I will work, go to class, do homework, eat, and hopefully sleep a few hours somewhere in there.

BUT It gets me done with school by next April, so it will be worth it. At least that's what I'm trying to tell myself.

Anyway, break time is over. Back to studying/writing/etc.

Have an awesome week! :)

Oh, and by the way...if you've never heard "Soothsayer" by Buckethead, you should probably youtube it right now. It's my new addiction, probably the best song ever played. It's 9 minutes long, but you can get an idea after the first 4...

So go look it up. lol.

Finally an Update

So it's been over a year since my last update. Wow. I didn't realize it had been that long. (Amber and Missy...you should inform Uncle Don I am doing this. Haha.)

So quick recap of last year. Finished Winter Semester. Had a boring summer of work. Moved home. First date with Josh (aww. lol). We saw Funny People together. :) We "made it official" or whatever on August 18, after going out to dinner at Frankie V's on 28th street. He moved up to Ferris with his friends (and to go to school, lol). We saw each other once a week. Boo. Fall semester finished. Josh moved home (yay!).

Valentine's day he took me back to Frankie V's, which was adorable.

And that's everything exciting that's happened since my last update. Haha.

So as of yesterday Josh and I have officially been together for 9 months. Which is kind of exciting. It's been really awesome. :)

So Josh got me 100% addicted to disc sports. Disc golf, ultimate, freestyle frisbee...completely addicted. As if I need another thing to spend money on. lol.

We're in a disc golf league through Alpha Players, a small card and disc store on Division & 44th. Currently Josh is the Number One Disc Golfer! He pushed his way up to first with an awesome round at Brewer, where he shot -9, which put him ahead of the number 2 spot by 6 strokes. This week he held number one, but now he is only ahead by one stroke...so it's getting really close! Our Team, which is just Josh and me, is somewhere in the middle, due to my horrible lack of disc golf skills. (Good thing it's a just-for-fun league, or I think Josh would have found a new partner after the first week lol)

My first and second week scores at old farm were +24 and +18, and the third and fourth week scores were +16 and +16. The first time at Brewer (fifth week of league) I went back up to a +18.

However, the day after I shot +18 at Brewer, we went for fun, and I discovered the forehand throw, and my scores have improved sooooo much! Last week at Old Farm I shot -1. With my handicap of 10, that puts me at -11 for the week, which means I beat everyone I was playing against for the day! :)

So I'm really excited that I have improved my score by 25 strokes over the course of the league, and I'm definitely in the running for Most Improved! Sweet!

Anyway aside from Disc League, my summer is pretty boring. I'm taking two classes and working 35 hours, so there's not much time for anything other than homework and sleep in my free time. Oh well. If I finish these classes this summer, I won't have to take any next summer, so it's worth it. I can't wait to have a social life again though, haha.
