so it's late in the AM once again and i don't see sleep coming anytime soon but anywho...had a wonderful time in the LBK. Was supposed to get back in time to see my mom before she went to work but 15 minutes out of lubbock the highway was closed due to a cotton truck catching on fire and we got stuck on backroads for over 45 minutes. Not cool at all.

Finally got home and saw the family. My dad made fun of me b/c i kept on looking for my sis-inlaw but they finally came over and i got to see my nephew! He is so big now! and is one spoiled boy. You'd think he'd be more spoiled by the women but no, he's a daddy's boy. When you frustrate him he screams for his "DAD" serious. no joke. He mostly babbles but he can say "dad." not dadda or daddy but dad. i could go on forever of how adorable he is.

thanksgiving was great. We had it over at our house this year which was great. got to see aunts, uncles and cousins. and once everyone was full, the men watched football as the women pulled out the newspaper and began to see what was worth waking up for. Yea, my family takes part in the day after thanksgiving shopping. Usually my dad and i stay home with the kids. I was banned from shopping back in the 5th grade but this year i was given an assignment. You know those crazy people that sleep outside a store? um...Yea, i sat in line for over 7 hours in the cold weather outside of best buy. luckily no one was hurt but there were threats. I got to meet some really cool people and one of them i will forever thank. If you want to know why, ask me. But anywho, it was well worth it. standing in freaking cold weaher overnight w/out sleep. very worth it. You'd think that once i got out of best buy that i'd go to sleep but i didn't. I caught up with my mom and aunt and we continued shopping most of the day;) well that was my trip. I have updated my pictures. Not many but hey, i did update

yea, so i guess this is punishment for excessive sleep? i really want to go to sleep but just can't seem to keep my head on the pillow...i layed staring at the ceiling for a while. i really should stop sleeping days away. anywho, i posted this one back in february but gonna repost it cause i can. Please comment b/c i'm interested in knowing...

If you read this, You must post a memory of me.It can be anything you want,it can be good or bad.Just so long as it happened.Then post this to your journal,and see what people remember about you

so i'm trying to be proactive, social...whatever you want to call it. yea, gonna step it up? yea, that's the word i think. my 'feeling antisocial' sign has been erased for the time being and i will work on the 'postivity' factor. once i take my astronomy test thursday morning, life will be swell...for the weekend at least. Get to see harry potter which i am so excited about. Oh and then possibly meeting my brother sometime to have lunch or dinner and hang out. and oh phone calls! haven't seriously talked with my mom in over a week and this weekend we are gonna have one of our fun talks. i can't wait til we can talk in person but the phone call will have to do for now.

had a pc/ra summit tonight and oh the fun times we had! everyone making their chants and their banners...just remember: Don't mess with Liberal Arts West...(picture of a Dingo)this dingo will eat your baby! i still think our chant was awesome.laters

-wrong! yea, just when you think that you're at the bottom of the barrel, you find out that the barrel is bottomless. Right now i have no ID card and all i have to show is a newly redecorated and reorganized room. not cool at all. that card is my life and who knows if i'm gonna be able to get a new one b/c of the new card that won't start working for a week. but at least my hall directors are being cool about the whole situation. i can continue checking out a temp card but that only helps me get in the building and my room. can't get into the office, classrooms, or even eat. went to the store and bought food. oh the good ole days of tv dinners. big thanks to megan who is so awesome and cheered me up. well weekend's over and the major thing i have this week is lab final. a week and a half til thanksgiving! yea, that's a pretty good countdown to have;) hugs and kisses and babysitting and shopping..yea, i can't wait.

yea, so i am well...done...done for this week at least..once i do my astronomy lab hw tomorrow, then this week is basically done. just have to show up to portugues friday. oh darn...early saturday morning. why must i torture myself? why? oh that's right, b/c i want the extra cash.

so i'm extremely insane...i couldn't write my american lit paper and ended up writing it in the wee hours of the morning and had 25 minutes to spare before class. yea..not good. oh and if you think that's insane, wait to you hear the rest...after a nice and long tuesday that yes, i woke up early and wrote that paper, i proceeded to fall asleep at like 8ish and then woke up at 1am to work on my presentation...yes people, right now i am still going and i've been up since 1am. i took a 30 minute nap at 7am but other than that, um..yea...my presentation went ok. at least i hope so. my professor kept on asking questions and i could answer most of them minus one question about realism. i will never live that one down. anyways, sleep will be had really soon...and then nice 8am class in the am! yay for school..not!

story of the day: mandey just got saved by the 'english' god. lol..just kidding...but seriously, i don't have my presentation til wednesday! so tonight i will be working on american lit paper and tomorrow after work it will be presentation time!

Is it bad that I really don't want to write my paper or do my project? I just don't have the patience to do any of it. I have the materials for my project but meh. i am not assigned to present until wednesday but the girl that was supposed to go this coming monday went last wednesday...blah. i don't know. Usually she says who's up next but she didn't this time. i'm confused.grr.

i know these entries are starting to sound dull and in some ways, yea my life is dull. there are things going on but nothing i want the whole world to know about. porn debate was this past week and it went good. we are doing evals in the meeting next week. work is work and school is school. i'm not the same person i was a year ago, not the person i was 5 months ago or even a week ago. Changes are good...should be at least...well i was just listening to yahoo music and this song was playing. If you haven't heard it, just google it or something and play it. it is awesome

Alabama-Angels Among us

i was walking home from school on a cold winter day
took a shortcut through the woods, and i lost my way
it was getting late, and i was scared and alone
then a kind old man took my hand and led me home
mama couldn't see him, but he was standing there
and i knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers
oh i believe there are angels among us
sent down to us from somewhere up above
they come to you and me in our darkest hour
to show us how to live, to teach us how to give
to guide us with a light of love
when life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees
there's always been someone there to come along and comfort me
a kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand
a phone call from a friend, just to say i understand
and ain't it kind of funny that at the dark end of the road
someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope
oh i believe there are angels among us
sent down to us from somewhere up above
they come to you and me in our darkest hour
to show us how to live, to teach us how to give
to guide us with a light of love
they wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places
to guide us with their mercy, in our time of need
oh i belive there are angels among us
sent down to us from somewhere up above
they come to you and me in our darkest hour
to show us how to live, to teach us how to give
to guide us with a light of love
to guide us with a light of love

so i just got finished putting the last touches on my collage that i am using as an example for my class for their big project. I LOVE it! i'm not gonna lie; it looks so cool. i'm not all that artistic but i think i did a great job especially for all my pics being in black and white...although it does add some symbolism to the collage as a whole. Not gonna go into explaining how i figure that. at least i know the true meaning and that's all that counts.

fun times during staff meetings.only way to explain it is through fragments so..stories of bridal dresses and getting kicked out of stores...one on ones with the boss...social interaction...schedules...evaluations...party planning..blushing.. everyone staring at me and poking fun at the reddish color i am apparently now styling while they try to figure out why i objected to a date for staff party... only all of this fun can be had during a peer counselor meeting.

so i'm hoping to actually get some new pictures sometime in the future. i hope that someone emails me halloween pics of my little bro and my nephew. My brother was harry potter this year and my nephew..oh the cute little darling was a monkey. i know that pictures do exist but on a digital camera? not too sure about that. maybe...well for those who have been commenting to me on my lack of pictures this semester, i will try to up production b/c i myself came to this realization when i did my collage...well night all! portuguese test in the manha
