Happy Thanksgiving!

I was surprised yesterday with the best Birthday gift a girl could get. My friend who lives in Springfield, MO (attending MSU) was going to come into town, but she called me telling me she had car troubles. I was then contacted by my friend Maria who was going to hang out with us that night, and she said we'd still hang out, but we'd just chill at my house. So at about 7, the doorbell rings and I go to answer....

Sitting on my porch are packages of Reese's peanut butter cups and roses leading to one of the trees in my yard. I follow it and out pops Maria...and Lauren!! It was the best surprise ever!! They lied and schemed for a week just for that moment! I now have 17 roses, each with a message tied to it, sitting on my dresser, and peanut butter cups waiting to be eaten.

We also went to see "Tangled." I must say, it was fantastic! I loved every minute of that movie! It was adorable!

Oh, also before the movie we went to Freddy's for supper. While there, I noticed a guy wearing a ND hat. I thought it was cool. I was wearing my #10 Notre Dame football jersey and my ND lanyard. As I was leaving, I had to pass his table (he was sitting by the door with his friend) and he said, "Hey, I like your jersey," to which I replied, "And I like your hat." It was pretty tight.

Needless to say, that was one of the best nights ever. Future boyfriend, you have a helluva lot to live up to.

Post #60

DC is out for the season with patellar tendon rupture. I hope he gets better soon, but it's a 6-month recovery. Yikes. Tommy Rees did a good job during the 3.5 quarters that he played though. True frosh=true talent. I'm impressed.

Our first term paper of the year is due on Wednesday. I finished my edits, but I have to highlight the data in my sources, get my notecards put together, and reprint everything. I'm almost there. Wednesday is also Scarlet Letter day. We drew names of our classmates out of a bag and had to make a letter that describes their personality for them to wear from English class until the end of the day. I'm pretty excited to see what people think of me.

Okay. I need to get back to my homework. I just needed a quick break. I have chem to finish and English that is non-term paper or Scarlet Letter day related.

Have a good November! I'll probably post sometime before December comes though.

Rainy, cold Friday Night Football....fun I suppose.
Notre Dame at 11...instead of 2:30.....had to rush my chores.
The thrill of watching the game....worth it all.

I might get a bigger bedroom. My parents are still deciding if they want to split my sisters into the two small rooms (one of which is mine) and give me the big room. Do I want the bigger room? Hell yes! Does my sister want a smaller room? Ha...that's funny. No. She doesn't.

I watched How to Train Your Dragon last night. Cute movie. I enjoyed it a lot. I also rented season 1 of Nurse Jackie (the Showtime show about a Nurse on Drugs attempting to live a double life). It's pretty good too. Edie Falco is awesome!

Oh gosh...Just saw a commercial for a nacho cheese chalupa from Taco Bell...that sounds really tasty right now. ANYWAYS!

UGH...got to the 1-yard line with no TD...dang it! *sigh* well that was only the first drive of the game, so we've got time.

I just realized....I'm going to have very little to blog about when football season is over. I'm quite the boring person. I need a life.

I seriously need to put "put new post on blog" into my daily routine. I'm sorry it's been so long again. I hope you like my blog redesign though.

Well, I'm really starting to freak out about college. It's junior year--the big one. I've got a lot to focus on--SAT, ACT, GPA...that's a few too many acronyms. I hope I can survive. Plus, there's one college I want to go to....any guesses? Notre Dame. I'm DESPERATE!!!!! I will do anything to get in. If I don't, I have no idea what I will do.

Football season in halfway over...not cool. I'm going to have way too much time when it is. I'm going to be so bummed when it is.

Alright....funny story....this weekend, three of my friends all said told me the same thing when I talked to them at different times. They told me that they think a particular guy and I would be a perfectly adorable couple. And, no, it isn't Buddy....speaking of whom, I don't like him at all anymore. Not even close. As a matter of fact, I look back on last year wondering what I was thinking.

I have an ACT Prep class tonight...it's four hours long. It better be worthwhile. If not, I'm going to be pisssed!

Okay, I'm out of things to say again. Well until next time, which I hope won't be too long.

Whaddup?

It's been a while. I'm sorry. That's why I'm back now.

SO! There's a new guy at school. I thought he was suuuuper cute for the first couple of weeks he was here....until I heard a story about him. He's not even half as appealing anymore. Stupid.

That brings me to my next point: in high school, we meet boys who are seemingly good--they don't drink, they don't do drugs, they're nice, funny, smart....and then you find out one big deal-breaker that makes you wanna shoot someone in the face.

I really have been out of things to share lately...geez. I need some crazy stuff to happen to me so that I have something interesting to say.

Farewell for now.

Back

Sorry it took me so long to put up another post.

So i started using my twitter. I've had it since last year, but I haven't ever used it. I like it a lot now because I'm finding so many people I like on it. I have found a ton of the Notre Dame football players, which is awesome.

Speaking of Notre Dame, they are now 1-3. I hope to God that next week is a better game. Talking about the game afterwards was literally physically painful. It was bad.

KU won. The Chiefs won. My school won (epically, I might add). Things will get better.

I'm doing all right. I hope y'all are too.

More Football.

GO CRUSADERS!
ROCK CHALK, JAYHAWK!
CHIEFS! FOR THE WIN!
FIGHTING IRISH...I still love you!

I hate Michigan. Stupid, stupid Michigan. First, they injure Dayne Crist. How dare they?! Then they play dirty....what filthy, reviling, excuses for college football players.

And one more thing, Nate Montana is NOT HIS FATHER! Don't hold him to the same expectations! That's so pressuring!

But KMC won 43-9. mwahaha
Jayhawks beat GT....which was quite unexpected but awesome, nevertheless. Jordan Webb, you are my new hero.
CHIEFS!!!! WHAAAAAA?!?!?!?! Nice job beatin the Chargers. I am proud. Do good this season. Please.

Football!!!!

I loove football. Had I been born a male, I would no doubt play the game. Notre Dame is playing right now. KU is playing later this evening. KMC played Thursday night....I looove football.

At the departure of Jimmy Clausen as the starting QB at ND, Dayne Crist is taking over. He was the back-up last year, but only got to play 4 games. He's not very experienced, but he's got skill.

I'm going to continue watching now. Score is 10-0 Notre Dame. Sweet. Let's kick some boilermaker butt, Irish!

The Month in which autumn begins...

It's September. Or as the French say, "Septembre." Spelled almost the same, pronounced quite differently.

This reminds me of a song by a band that sang a song that got really famous. So famous, in fact, that they got a show on Broadway with a title of the same name....any guesses?

"Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day.

I've always liked that song and it belongs to a ritual which I do every Sept. 1st. I listen to the song. It's a pretty draining ritual***Sarcasm.

Friday Night Football season is in full gear and I. Am. SOOO. PUMPED!!! (Even though my school's first game was tonight, on a Thursday, I'm still calling it F.N.F. because T.N.F. is weird. That rarely happens.)

Okay. I'm done talking now. Go on with whatever you were doing. That means you, EWitt. haha;)

Like a Sack of Bricks

The realities of school are finally starting to hit me (insert post title here). I have my first real test tomorrow. It's an APUSH (AP US History) test, and I don't feel at all ready for it. Despite my need for a life, I studied all weekend for it. So why don't I feel ready? My best guess is that the students who took it in the years before I have said that it is the hardest class I will take while in high school. Possibly, this is leading me to expect something harder than it really will be. I'll keep you posted.

I'm losing sleep. I am a very picky sleeper; I cannot have any noises that aren't constant (i.e. clicking, beeping, etc.) If it's a fan or some kind of dull white noise, I'm good to go. Also, NO LIGHT! Yes, I sleep with my eyes closed, but if there is a bright light coming from anything, I cannot sleep. I can't be too hot or cold, I can't have had any caffeine within 8 hours of going to sleep, I MUST have some sort of blanket. That's one reason I'm losing sleep. The second is that homework is invading my sleeping time. I've been falling asleep in the middle of homework, causing me to lose my focus, forcing me to come back to it later, making me stay up later and later every night, causing me to fall asleep during homework the next day. It's a vicious circle of sleep deprivation.
