Are we done yet???

The only questions I have been pondering….Are we there yet and I’m I done yet!!!!

Finals are around the corner and I feel like they are still a month a way. Being it the holiday season I should be a merry sort of spirit right??? WRONG I’m so wrapped up in finishing projects and catching up on homework and papers to get in that kind of mood. I’ll be in that mood once all this vanishes in a puff of green and red smoke. 

Once the smoke settles I can enjoy making Christmas cookies, watching the Christmas specials I miss so badly, and enjoying this time of the season with my family and friends.

Yes I know I sound like Scrooge but right now I really don’t care at this point. When finals are over I’ll start acting like a elf waiting for Christmas to arrive!!

More to come

Absolutely No Title

I really mean what my title is I have no title for this. My mind has been in a daze/funk ever since I got home from my weekend at home for some reason. Its been almost two weeks and I’m still in that mode. I’m in homework for the next week in a half or so. Thanksgiving and my birthday are rolling around sooner than I’d like.

While doing homework and other things I’m in the middle of re watching Sex and the City. I’m in the middle of Season 3 and god I feel sorry for Aiden. He had know idea what he walked into when he fell for Carrie.

I’m also waiting and hoping to buy John Mayer tickets. He’s in Portland, Oregon in March during my Spring Break. I’m hoping it works out and I can go. Working on who’s going with as we speak. Keeping my fingers crossed all works out!!

Rain and Wind

My weekend home a much needed break. I almost forgot what it was like to sleep in my own bed and without having to wake up at 7 in the morning for classes. I basically just hung out at home and watched sports all weekend which in my case was not a bad thing.

This week has been horrible weather for California residents. It’s raining everywhere in the state. Our storm in Redding started Monday night so mildly and than became one of the worst I’ve have been apart of. For the last 48 hours we have had wind advisory warnings going on into the wee hours of the night. It rain finally let up for now but I can still hear the wind blowing outside my window. It’s supposed to clear up for a few days than start up again.

I’m planning on staying in Redding for the next few weeks that I’m heading home for a belated birthday party for my daddy and than a birthday party for a one year old….those are always fun :)

By the way check out John Mayer’s new single out called “Who Says” its very different from which what John usually writes!!

Later :)

UPDATE

So I’m just doing a quick update (yes finally) With school back in full swing blogging seems like the low thing on the totem pole right now. I’m just letting you know school going good I have my good days and my not so good days.

My plans for the rest of October which probably will fly by before I know it are:

This coming weekend I’ll be heading home for Columbus Vacation are whatever you can call….I call it a four day break!!!

The next couple weeks after I’ll be sticking around on campus!

Than the weekend of Halloween I will be home for a belated birthday celebration for my dad at my Grandma Marsh’s house on the Friday before Halloween. Than the Saturday of Halloween I’ll be celebrating my cousin Caitlin’s 1st birthday (my kids grow up fast these days) Than I’ll be handing out candy at my parents house that night!!

Well talk to you soon. Homework awaits. Than Bed!!

Summertime

Yes I know it has been awhile. I’ve been so busy that blogging seems to be last thing on my mind. But all I can say is that the summer for me has been one of best I’ve had in a long time. Its something that I needed for what I’ve been thru this past spring and part of the first month or so my break.  I’m not really going to explain all what happened this summer but I’ll try and add pictures and captions of my ventures this summer. I’ll I can say is I wish the summer would stick around for a little while longer but I guess it can’t.

School starts soon and I hope to post pictures ASAP!!

Night :)

Birthday Dinner for Papa and a Laker Championship

Tonight we had my Grandma Chi-Sai and my Papa Ross over to celebrate is birthday. Dinner was really really good. My dad made barbeque chicken, pasta salad, and corn on the cob. We also had angel food cake for dessert. It was a really nice night. Were usually camping this weekend but after the weather we have been having I’m glad we didn’t go camping this weekend.

So the LA LAKERS are champions of basketball once again. I literally got tears in my eyes when the game ended. It’s been such a long ride to the finals and I’m glad it finally happened again.

Night!!!

Summer is Officially Here!!!

So my job for the summer officially ended. The elementary schools here ended for summer vacation. It was a nice job while it lasted. The last month in a half or so was pretty hectic but very rewarding as well. I enjoyed every minute of it, even though my brain felt like scrambled eggs on Fridays. Working with this group of kindergarten kids were amazing, and I had a chance to work with a lady that I’ve gotten close to in the years past. I only get to see her during the school months but she is someone who I’ve come to trust and I love to work with.

This month is going to fly by and my trip to Florida will be here before I know it. My sister is coming home this weekend, and I have a camping trip with my family in two weeks. So its going to fly by!!!

Busy and a Bad Blogger

I was sitting in the chair getting my hair colored today….and I was thinking besides this stuff burns that I haven’t blogged in awhile!!! I’ve been a very very bad blogger. I realized that since summer vacation has started for me I’ve been busier than I thought I would be. I was offered to sub for bus duty at one of our local schools until school is done for the summer…and lets just say its kicking my butt getting up a seven in morning on my vacation non the less.

Oh I just wanted to say that I’m going to Florida for a week in July. If anyone wants to know more details on my trip give me a phone call or shoot me an email.

Laters!!!

Mother’s Day and the rest of the Week!!

Today was Mother’s Day. I was a nice day to spend with the great women in my life. I started off with church with my Grandma Marsh than we had lunch at her house. Lets just say I ended up getting sun and added to the sun I got over the last few day I look like a raccoon. In the later of the afternoon we had my dad’s family over for a barbeque it was really nice.

My week was nice. I’m starting to adjust rather nicely and it does feel nice to just relax and I’m working a little so its nice. It makes it nicer when the sun is out and we can enjoy our days more and more.

I finished Sex and the City season 3 on Thursday night. That is one of my favorites after watching for the hundredth time (jk) and the season finale is probably one of my favorites besides the series finale!!! I’m on season 4 and about half way thru!!

Lazy Weekend

  So my weekend turned out to be very lazy. I knew that I was in for a long weekend when I decided to camp out on the couch and watch the first two seasons of Sex and the City. Just to let you know I’ve seen them like a thousand times so I’m not a Sex and the City virgin. I love them. I finished the second season tonight and I will start the third season tomorrow night!!!! Just to let you know Season 5 was my favorite…but a while to go before I get to it!!!

I hope your weekend was more productive than mine was…I guess you can say mine was productive I finished two seasons in less than 36 hours.

Good night!!!

My First Week!!!

So my first official week being back went by better than the first 2 days. I was afraid of what I was going to do to keep myself occupied and not go crazy!! I was able to fill in at my old job for the week. One of the ladies that I used to work with had some family stuff come up and they needed me to fill in for lunch duty. I’m just glad it got me out of the house and back to a little bit of normalcy that I got accustomed to doing last year at this time.

Today was really the night that it hit me….I’m not going to be hanging out with my friends on Friday nights for awhile. It feels a little weird but I think I’ll manage. My sister will be home in June and my life and craziness will come back…ha ha ha!!!

Oh by the way Cindy if you read this and I think you will…Grams told me about you trying to make it for our annual camping trip this year!!! You’ll be getting a phone call from me begging you to come.. I need you out on the boat at 5am with me!!!

Night everyone!!

Home

So I arrived home on Thursday night after my last final. Yesterday was a day full of mixed emotions. I was very tired and from the words of my Grandmother I felt “drugged.” I don’t know why I felt like that but I just felt very strange. It did not help that I had so much stuff to unpack and it was just a day that I was glad was over. I still have a lot of stuff to get done. I’m going to try and accomplish a lot of that stuff on Monday and see how much stuff I can actually get done. I feel much better today. My mother and grandma treated me to a night at Seven Feathers Casino. So they are down on the floor and I’m up in the hotel room chilling…well I was losing so I needed to take a break.

All I know is its going to be one long a$$ summer for me. I’ll keep you posted!!!

One Week Left

Today officially starts a week left of school. I take my finals next week starting Tuesday and my first year at Simpson University officially ends on Thursday afternoon. I can't believe it's done!! I'm looking forward to vacation but I realized that I'm going to have to find a job and with our economy its not going to be easy. Than I realized that it is going to be lonely until until my sister comes home but it won't be until Father's Day weekend. I'll go crazy if I come up short on the job front. It's going to be one crazy week coming up and just hopefully everything goes good and everybody stays calm!!!

GRR I HATE BEING SICK

As you could tell by my title I hate being sick. I caught a cold and it sucks. Okay maybe I’m not being honest how I got the cold so fast. This past Friday I went and saw Fast and the Furious with one of my girlfriends. By the way the movie was amazing.  We walked a bit in Redding and than we cam back.

 

Well it was my it was one of my other friends ideas to help out with a charity event around our campus. The event was to raise sleeping bags, backpacks,etc for the homeless in our area. Part of the event was students were encouraged to sleep outside from Thursday-Sunday. I stayed out Friday night and I was miserable as you can see. I didn’t last until the morning I ended up packing my blankets in and going back to bed in my room at about 5:00am. It was an awesome experience but I think that’s why I feel so horrible right now!!!

Homework and Other Stuff

I finally realized why the last three weeks of school is associated with Hell Week. To be quite honest that is pretty much how I feel. I spent most of my afternoon in the Library and I got some stuff done but not enough stuff done to say that I feel satisfied. I’ve already decided that I’m staying in my dorm this weekend to get most of the homework that needs to to done and finished.

All the other stuff that I mentioned is I’m counting down the days until school is done for the year and I can relax and little and try and find a summer job. Its going to be tough but I’m determined to find a job. Well I need to get back to work and my dinner mac and cheese is calling me.

Spring Break and Coldness

So I'm home for a week for Spring Break. I'm happy to be home and out of my limited space of my dorm room. The only thing that I'm not happy about is I'm not warm enough... it was almost 80 degrees yesterday when I left and now I come home and its 39 freakin degrees. I went to my Grandma and Papa's house for dinner and me staying warm was a challenge. I love being home but I'm not acclimated to this weather. I will enjoy some home cooking this week and start catching up on some TV shows that I miss while in school. Yay for Spring Break..Boo for Cold Weather!!!

MacBeth and a Sinus Cold

So.... It was a rough week this past week for me. Mid-terms and a lack of sleep has finally got to me. I came down with a simple sinus cold. I'm not coughing that much but I'm sneezing like crazy and my nose is running. I just wish I would not have gotten sick right now. I dont need it....

I went and saw MacBeth at the Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. It was alright, I cant say much about it except for it was kinda different but MacBeth is different. It would have helped re reading the play since I read it back in High School. The drive was nice I went with a friend and we had a nice time just the two of us. Well I'm going to see what I can do about this cold.

Who Needs Sleep??

So I know I've been a bad blogger but school has been so hectic that this isn't the only thing that I'm neglecting. There is this little thing called sleep has been very hard to come by these last few weeks. That song by the Barenaked Ladies- Who Needs Sleep? I feel like that I've been living that song the last few weeks. During MLK weekend I did go home and get some sleep but here in the dorms it is very hard to come by. Any ideas that I can help me kick this I'm all ears. Hope everyone has a good weekend!!!

Hello 2009, Goodbye 2008

Well 2009 is here. I spent New Year's like I always do with my family. We had a little family get together, my moms side of the family was here. It turned out to be a great evening. A friend that I haven't seen in a few months came by and hung with us for awhile. Well after we ate and drank a little than the real fun started. At about 9:00 pacific time we started doing rounds of Rock Band for the PS2. Lets just say I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I sang a Bon Jovi song and lets just during a part where you have to improv, lets just say I started and my cousin's girlfriend started to laugh. Well you know what happens when someone is laughing that hard usually people around them start laughing, well I was laughing so hard I had tears rolling down my cheeks.

I made a few resolutions this year and I'm hopping to stick to them, I'm hoping to get working out again, and I want to make my grades be better than last semester. But thats all in the past now and on with the new!! Happy New Year to all!!!
