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.

New Year's Eve!

So it's been quite a while again. I don't know why I am so bad at updating this thing when I check my other sites a million times a day. Oh well...

The semester ended 2 weeks ago, and it did not end very well. But what can you do? I will just have to work twice as hard this semester. I'm looking into internships in New York and New Jersey, so my gpa needs to be kicked up a little bit...I can do it though.

I celebrated my 21st birthday with some friends a couple of weeks ago. 5 of us girls went to Mojo's downtown, where my roommates Nicole and Victoria told them it was my birthday, so they made me sit on the pianos and the whole bar sang to me. Embarrasing but fun. The next night I had a celebration with my friends who aren't 21, and Alicia even came down from Ferris for the night to hang out, which made me really happy. I never expected her to come all the way down for a few hours just for my birthday. We went to the Main Street Pub in Allendale.

Christmas with the family proved to be rather stressful, but fun overall. I did all of my shopping at the very last minute, but it ended up working out. We fondued on Christmas eve, and all my clothes still smell like greasy food, even after washing them twice. On Christmas day, we saw Four Christmases together, which was hilarious. Vince Vaughn is one of my favorite actors.

Well I guess that takes us up to today, which is New Year's Eve. I will be hosting a small party at my house for my friends and I. I might be driving downtown to see the festivities and the ball drop, but it depends. I'm not sure if I will feel like being in the crowds much...but we'll see. I heard drinks got more expensive for today, which is another reason I need to learn how to not be such a last-minute person...ughh. I'm working on it.

I just added a music player thing, so enjoy some of my favorite music!

Well I guess that is all for now. Pictures to come.

Everyone enjoy your New Year and be safe!!

PS
Thanks Amber for the comment! :)

Updates!

So it's been quite a while since I was on here...

I am now a single woman. It's very weird after three years to think of myself as single. And a little scary. But it will be okay. I will get through this, and I'm definitely going to enjoy some alone time, and take a while away from the dating world to find myself, and maybe catch up with some old friends and stuff. I'm looking forward to the next few months.

It's also nearing the end of the semester. I have 2 more days of classes, and then exams next week. I'm really nervous for exams. I think they are going to be rough this semester. This whole semester has been pretty rough. But it's almost done, so that's a good thing.

Thanksgiving weekend was a lot of fun.

Thanksgiving day my mom and I went shopping early in the morning. We left at 6, and picked up some stuff for Christmas. Then we went home and took a nap before church. After church, my family played a game for a while and then headed off to my uncle Don's house. We ate an awesome dinner and then played some cards. It was a fun day.

Friday my mom and I went shopping again. I picked out my birthday present, so that was kind of fun. I'm getting a vacuum cleaner and a coat. Haha.

Speaking of my birthday, that's next week wednesday! I'll be turning 21! We'll be at Mojo's downtown. Hopefully it's a lot of fun. I'm so excited.

Well, that's all for now. The network is back up at work so I should probably get back to that.

Later!

New Place

Now that I've lived here for 2 months, here are some pics of my new apartment. :)
The Kitchen, view from the top of the stairs. It's never this clean. lol.
The stairs...with the laundry "room" (closet) at the bottom. Victoria and Lauren's rooms are also down there.

Living room, view from the front door. Very girly. ;)

My bedroom, view from my bathroom door.

My bathroom. :)

Here is my room, which is on the upper floor with Nicole's room, view from the door: (And yes, it is usually this clean. ;) seriously.)

So there is where I am living. Go ahead and be jealous! ;) Just kidding. But I love it. A lot.
