| I have a feeling this Christmas break is going to be a very stressful one for me and that's just not right. *sigh* I guess I'm brought it on myself. Anyway hope everyone is is having a great Christmas break.
I kinda started to miss the boy today. I was talking to him though and actually quit talking to him because I think the more I talk to him the more I'm actually going to want to see him. Yea, oh well I'll survive. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |

| This by the way is the baseball hat. And though I can't pull it off I still like it .
Yesterday I said I was done with this guy........ today I said okay maybe not so much. This whole thing with him is so unpredictable. I guess that makes it fun. I just realized it's almost been two months, that's unbelievable. I don't know too many girls that would be okay with this situation but right now this is how I want things, I like it. I'm single but I still feel like there's someone there if I need them.
I was picked to go to D.C. for two weeks over Christmas break *YAY* They picked me and one other person. It's all expenses paid. We'll be learning about the new congress and politics & the media. Ted Koppel is one of the many speakers, how awesome is that? I'll be there for New Years so that'll be fun though I will be sad not to spend it with my friends. We stay in apartments, go to meetings & speeches all day, and at 5 we're on our own. Personally being on my own kinda scares me so I really hope my professor gets to go. Also while I'm there I'll get to see Goose. I think he's even going to show me around on New Years Eve (if he gets off work). So yea, I'm pretty pumped.... I just hope nothing happens to keep me from going.
Um crap....I meant to go to bed an hour ago. | comments: Leave a comment  |

| I hate guys. I hate them because I love them and this is a problem. Once again I feel I'm faced with having to make a choice. I can't blame anyone but myself because I definitely put myself in this situation.
Either way I had a great time tonight. Homecoming week started off great. It was camo day and I'd like to think I pulled that off well. Just wish I would have taken a pic but oh well. The talent show and pep-rally were also lots of fun as always. And yes, we had to open the talent show and cheer from the balcony for the pep-rally as usual but at least this time we got shirts out of the deal.
Hum... speaking of shirts I need to make mine for favorite player day. Mine's 33, for football, basketball & Baseball. It works out well that I actually like all 3 of those guys because that is a favorite # of mine. PLUS, I can wear it all year round. It's little things like this that make me happy =)
Welp I gotta go back to the doctor tomorrow morning so I guess I better get in bed. | comments: Leave a comment  |

| Since I'm supposed to be studying I thought it'd be a good chance to update.
First off my Birthday was amazing. It started Tuesday night. Barrett and I went to Free movie night to see The Grid Iron Gang. Toshy was supposed to go with us but "backed out". After the movie we went to get ice cream and we were together when it turned midnight so I got to start my birthday off with him =) We decided to go back to his house for awhile but on our way there Toshy, Whitney & Kelley called demanding I come back to the room. SO we went back to find they had decorated my room, well trashed it, in birthday stuff and were having a little midnight birthday kickoff. They gave me a crown to wear all day which I gladly did. The day was great. My professors even liked my crown. One informed me that my birthday is also national ADHD day... what are the odds? Anyway that night the girls and I went to Applebee's. They didn't sing to me like I wanted but hey I got a hot fudge sunday. I had an amazing birthday, probably the best ever. I'm so lucky to have such amazing friends who would go out of their way to make my birthday unforgettable.
Okay so now I have an issue... there's another guy. And you know what part of me doesn't care because I'm single, I'm allowed to go out with whoever I want. I just need some time to figure out what I want. I mean I kinda like them both, is that bad?
Ooooo yea, I love my parents. I didn't really know what I wanted for my birthday but they got me the one thing I did ask for plus a few other goodies. They know me all too well.
School is getting hetic but hey fall break is soon, YAY! I honestly can't wait to take a few days off. I believe Sara and I are then going to hunt for a holloween costume... whoooh =D I love halloween!!! | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |

| Tomorrow starts my week of tests. I'm so glad we didn't have classes today. I feel like that was my reward for having three tests: Tues, Wed, Thurs, and a quiz on Friday. The funny thing is that all the tests are for the same professor. She definitely owns me this semsester and probably most semesters to come. Tomorrow's test is for Constutition. So far this has been my favorite class so far but we had to start reading on the Federalist papers which by the way are NOT a fun read. I couldn't stop falling asleep while I was reading them so this test should be interesting.
Yesterday Derick and I broke up. Yes I know, that didn't last long, 1 month exactly actually. I'm simply too busy for a boyfriend and a long distance relationship (even a short distance) just isn't want I want right now. Anyway he was cool with this and we're on good terms so that's a plus.
Kinzer's fire alarms went off earlier tonight. I took off so fast I didn't realize it had been raining and I was wearing house shoes =( It sucks to stand outside for a long period of time in soak & wet slippers. My lesson: Take time to think!!! Lesson for a certain resident of Kinzer: Popcorn should NEVER be microwaved for 4 minutes!!!
Oooo great news, I'm one of the Football season Captains. Amanda and I are the only ones that like football season so we took football, Shana & Chelsea took Basketball. I looove football season and had the best time watching/cheering at the game Saturday. We beat George Mason =) And more good news, I'm improving a lot on my tumbling. I'm starting to get over my fears again and I even tumbled at the game.
I congratulate anyone who read this. It's boring I know but I needed a study break....... now back to reading. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |

| | I just have to say that I had a wonderful day with Derick. Things have been going well, oh and we're actually "dating" now. Yesterday we even bought some fish. We're keeping them in his tank since his fish get along with others and mine doesn't like other fish. This whole thing is so random and strange but actually interesting and delightful. Let's hope for the best =) | comments: Leave a comment  |
| Well lets see what's happened...
Sunday Sara & I volunteered for RAM. It wasn't that bad, infact I wish we could have done more.
Today I went to renew my chicken pox shot I guess you could say. I had one when I was a kid so it was time to get another dose. It hurts and I have to get the 2nd part in a month but the pain is worth it. The last thing I need is for one of those kids to give me Chicken Pox. P.S. I love my new Doctor.
Derick is coming back tomorrow night. I haven't really sat around thinking about him but when he has crossed my mind I've realized that I actually kinda do miss him.
Today I purchased 3 CD's. Two of them were Hanson cd's, one of which I already had but accidently broke and the other was a live cd. The 3rd cd was Pink Floyd. while checking out I noticed this was a perfect example of why I can never answer people when they ask what type of music I listen to. The Pink Floyd cd was also for Daddy and that's one of the things I think rocks about him.
Hum-dee-dum-dum.... I'm bored. I guess I need to get in bed so I can wake up a bit earlier than usual. Goodbye and Goodnight | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |

| Joshua Powers... aka Tex... beats women. Okay maybe not so much women as me..... and maybe it was an accident. Either way I have a bruised eye and his head is to blame. This is why pools have rules about horseplaying and such.
On a brighter note I got my hair done and it looks good. Same length, refreshened the colors.
I've noticed how my life is one big pattern. Part of that does have to do with my weird ocd to have things a certain way but others are by chance. Every summer I decide I want to be single. And it always seems as the summer is coming to an end I meet someone who I actually want to spend my time with. I've been so determined not to get involved with anyone this summer from start to end. I thought this would be completely harmless because I had no interest in this person, I really don't even think very highly of this person, but I actually didn't hate being around him. I actually kinda want to see him but at the same time I don't want to allow myself to want to see him. Makes perfect sense.
I went to the doctor yesterday for a check up and they ended up taking blood from me... lots of it. Then they cut me just to see how long it took me to stop bleeding. It was fun.
By the way summer is almost over for me... how much does that suck? I think I'm going back to school on the 14th... *sigh* | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |
| Pepp is going well so far. The girls in my suit are good and I don't want to kill any of the kids. The day we had relay's and my group, team 3, dominated. I told them if they didn't win that the cadaver they operated on would be one of them. Of course I was joking and we won so it all worked out. Last night we went skating. Let me just say that it's hard to skate if you haven't in a few years. I about killed myself at first but also good fun. So all in all I'm having a great time despite the late hours and early mornings. I can't wait for our trip to Gatlinburg this weekend and I can already say I'm looking forward to doing this for several summers to come.
Side note: Mr. Andrew McCormick was picked up by the Cubs AA team. Yea... I guess I missed out on that one... =/
I believe I have officially became the unofficial recruit Pikeville's Cheerleading squad & tennis team. I've had so many people that are coming here next year find me on myspace or facebook asking me about joining them. I think the school needs to pay me for my work and I'm tight with the administration, somehow, so I think I can have this arranged haha
I'm thinking about moving into Kinzer next year. I love this suit... very nice. BUT this also means I have to walk up the hill to get to class... not nice. I guess I need to figure that out soon.
When you leave a place you often miss things/people you never expected to miss. I say that now about Wise & Pikeville. My life isn't really complicated at the moment, and for that I'm thankful, but I know if a decision needed to made I'd be very torn trying to make it. Since I don't know exactly I want in terms of guys so I've opted for nothing at the moment. But to quote a book I'm currently reading "nothing is still something". By the way, thanks for the book Tex, it's good and makes me chuckle.
Well even though I've bad a mass of sugar in the past 2 hours I think I better go on to bed. We've got a full day ahead of us tomorrow, mostly the kids, and it starts with breakfast at 7:30... argh. | comments: Leave a comment  |

| First off I'm sorry to anyone who had to ready the first draft of my last entry. I went back to re-read it in my right mind and noticed my all my mistakes... it was awful.
Wednesday I went to Blacksburg to see Cara. Tim has been gone so I knew she had been kinda down about that. It was lots of fun, props to me on driving there by myself for the first time =) We spend Wednesday night talking. I find it amazing how she has the ability to make me feel like everything is okay. I guess if you've been friends since kindergarten they become an expert at soothing you. I'm very lucky to have her & Nicole as my best friends. I believe if you take a combination of the two you have me. Anyhow Catherine & I went shopping Thursday while Cara was in class. It seems like we do that everytime she leaves hehe. We had a good time even if most of it was spent hanging around the men's shoes at AE waiting for a dressing room. In conclusion I love Cara & Catherine.
In today's news I found out how Whited managed to have Kelly's Ladies Tennis team out of Districts & Regions. Okay normally I'm not all fussy over high schools sports since I've graduated but being that I played tennis I am still very partial to the team. !@#$% Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... okay I just had to get that out.
Also one of my fish died today. It was the new one that I hadn't named yet. When I came home from work I noticed it laying on it's side, which it sometimes did, then realized this time it wasn't playing haha. I'm not sure but I think Smokey killed it. I only got that fish so he would have a friend but he never seemed to like the other fish.
...and I guess that's all, well all that I feel like typing. | comments: Leave a comment  |

| First off congrats to all the graduates! =)
Now for the random stuff... just call me Mirandom (wow Tex I should shoot you for ever saying that) It's 5 and I have to work at 10... so guess who's taking a nodoz tomorrow.
I'm trying to learn to play the guitar. Greg is teaching me & showed a little bit of a Ben Harper song last night.
My Fish, Smokey, is still alive and now has a friend. The new fish doesn't have a name yet but I'm sure I'll come up with something eventually.
My life in terms of a significant other sucks. I want to be with someone but at the same time I don't?! I guess If it happens it happens and if not then I shouldn't worry about it so much. The other day I was reminded that you only find "the one" once so maybe I shouldn't worry myself with minor details. Maybe if I find a good guy I should go for it. But then again why try, if another guy asks me to trust him I'd probably laugh. Damn every guy with a J first or middle name, they have succeeded at breaking every ounce of trust in me.
Well on a happy note life's not bad at the moment. I got my grades back and I'm okay with them. I probably shouldn't be but it was a hetic semester so I'm happy I managed two sports, school and am pleased with my performaces in all areas. | comments: 5 comments or Leave a comment  |

| I have strep. I was in the bed for basically two days but the doc gave me some very good pills so I'm feeling a lot better.
Mom and I went out today to get some job applications for me. Somehow we ended up doing a little shopping as well. Funny how that works.
While out I got some temporary hair dye. I, being the rebel that I am, dyed the bottom half of my hair. It was supposed to be dark red but really is more of a pinkish red. It was a bit scary at first but it's growing on me. Plus I'm proud of myself for having the guts to do it.
I found out how much money I'd be getting from the federal & state govt today. It's not much but I have a plan for it already. Part will pay off my AE bill & the rest will be for a fish tank. Hopefully Smokey lives another week so I can pick out a really cute tank rather than this bowl. Granted, in the bowl he does remind me of the fish from the cat in the hat but I think he needs more space and a few friends.
Wow, just realized I might be a total geek because I'm excited about a fishtank... Oh well. I guess now's a good time to stop making my life look so dull and go to bed. | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment  |

| I need to go to sleep but my mind and body are restless. I have way too much on my mind to really focus on doing anything including sleep. Between the recent events, school coming to an end, the summer & needing to find a job I'm stressing myself out. Yes, it's my fault that I've put this paper off but I swear I can't stop thinking long enough to work on it. I'll try again tomorrow...
FUN FACT, FUN FACT:
I got Honorable Mention All-Conference for Tennis
I have a pet fish now from the PLP banquet. I named it Smokey kind of as joke & in honor of my wonderful date =)
And...
Bryan and I are on good terms now. Good as in we've talked a lot the past few days and have even hung out. It's been fantastical. No, this isn't the start of us getting back together. We discussed everything, caught up, and I remembered how comfortable I am with him. Yes, it was a little weird giving him advice on a girl but I know he'd do the same. I'm so glad things are cool between us because I wasn't looking forward to spending my summer trying to dodge seeing him.
Okay now back to whever I wasn't doing.
P.S. I Love love love this song by John Mayer. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |

| First off Andrew and I are no more.
Now for the random stuff that I thought I'd make an entry out of for my own reminder.
I finished off conference play with a win in doubles & single. That made me happy =)
I FINALLY got to see our cheerleading competition. My DVD of it was messed up but today they gave me a new copy. I must say we rocked, I even teared up a little after watching it. Strange, I know.
Today they signed our new football coach. While I'm glad they finally found a replacement I'm very sad b/c he's getting rid of ALL our assistant coaches. I kinda liked them all =( And obviously this means my friend will not be coming back. Also, about half of the team said they'd leave if Creager (our defense coach) didn't get to stay then they'd leave. I'm curious to see what this fall will bring and not really in a good way. I love cheering for football season so they better give me something to cheer for.
I talked to Thomas this morning. He mention the Kentucky Derby and by looking at my schedule I realize it's possible. So if it works out then that would be fun. I swear that kid loves ALL southern things =)
Hum, I have a test to study for blah. I'll be in night class 3 hours tonight since I have to go early to make up a test. Oh gag, I just remembered I have a quiz in my next class. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |
| Well I should be writing a paper but instead I decided to update instead.
Tonight was the start of softball intramurals. Our team, the Country Cucklers, beat the Canadian Sneak Attack. I'm so proud of us and we've got some good players so hopefully there's more wins to come. Of course there was a celebration for our big win tonight & will be after every game so I better not have a paper due @ 9:30 the day after future wins.
Tennis, well it's tennis. I can't play when I'm in a upset in some way or have a lot on my mind and I've not been hitting well lately.... put two & two together. I got so frustrated today at practice that Charolette told me I could leave early. She even came out later with me to work on my strokes. I really do like her as our coach. She's tough but understanding.
As for Mr. McCormick... well things are kinda rocky at the moment but that happens. We're both trying to figure out what we want and what to do. Sometimes I just want to kill the kid but I like him, I honestly like him. I wasn't feeling very sure of things between us after last night so today I felt like I wanted to give up. He called a couple times tonight & I didn't answer b/c I was kinda busy & I didn't know what to say. Then a mutual friend of ours called to check on me. He told me Andrew called him & asked him to call me b/c when I didn't answer he was worried something happened to me. Eventually I called him and we decided to sort things out tomorrow. He promised me Mexican food, yum, so that's a good start. So anyway let's hope we work out the kinks b/c we do really like each other. Blah... I wish things were easier but eh, what can ya do?
...Okay now off to work on that paper. | comments: Leave a comment  |

| Quickly I must say thanks to the few who have actually commented on my last couple entries. I was starting to wonder where all the love went lol. Anyway I swear I'll respond to those shortly.
So Spring break was fairly relaxing. I didn't do too much but I got to see see friends and that's always a plus for me. Cole FINALLY gave my hair a much needed trim. I also finally got a new license. I always look way too happy to be at the DMV in those pictures. And today I gave my car a good cleaning. Sure, it wasn't that dirty but it makes me feel better and now the wheels are super shiny =)
One of my cousins had her baby and my other cousin is pregnant again. Yay for babies, but only in my family b/c otherwise I'm not fond of them.
I just got back to PC and Andew will be back later tonight. Oh how that makes me happy... I can't wait to see him so I can beat him up. For some reason I enjoy picking on him. One day he might fight back so I better watch out haha.
Okay Kyle has called me several times this week, including today, to ask when I'd be back so we can hit. So I called him when I got back and he says he's eating & will call back in about 15-20 mins... It's been 40. I'm so impatient and let's suppose for a second that I have a life, I don't have time to wait.
One last thing. Tomorrow we play UVA-W. I'm not looking forward to losing BUT I'm excited because Dad and I are going to take pics with him in his little UVA-W tennis gear and me in my PC tennis gear. I'm sure I should be thinking about the match but honestly I'm just excited about the photo opt. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |
