It's official:

My first semester at ISU is...well over.  I had my last final this morning for communications and i feel like i did pretty well. I think i  needed an 80 or something to get an A still. So i think i did at least that well. Patho i ended with a B and nutrition a...B-...ughh. i tried pretty hard. but i guess not hard enough.
Right now i'm sitting at my last 1 of work until i get to go home! so as soon as i get off i'm going and getting my stuff from my apartment and we're headed home. I can't even wait. You know i always thought "apartment" was spelled with two p's haha...i guess i thought wrong.
Well so first semester living on my own. what do i think? what have i learned?

*Mothers need no reason as to why something bugs the crap out of them...it just does. listen to them...it's good for you
*Addicting games....enough said
*Not enough sleep leads to viral infection followed by bacterial infection followed by a viral infection and two trips to the doctor. ha...ya. i feel so unhealthy.
*Living 20 seconds away from my brother makes me realize how extremely lazy i am sometimes.
*Giving someone a piggy back ride through the mud....well that's just not the best idea of the year.
*working two jobs is alright...unless it's the festival of trees and you work 50 hours in one week.
*5 year old little girls steal my heart
*having a Christmas program that was only practiced once is both completely precious and hillarious
*loving country music will subsequently lead your sister who looks up to you to love it.
*if you lead dirty dishes in the sink long enough the food on them will start to decompose (note: these were not MY dishes)
*sharing laundry cards with your brother works only when he forgets where he puts them and blames you
*The little triangle things in the corner of the room ...well those are spider traps. and the spiders inside are dead and if you step on it your room mates will probably be mad at you
*Don't try deep frying.....ever.
*Microwave cakes are amazing...but only if your microwave is big enough.
*Bring your phone charger everywhere. stupid phone


Well that's all i can think of for now :)
look forward to seeing everyone soon!!!
Merry christmas!!

Bored

So i'm at work and it's accreditation this week so i have absolutely nothing to do. so i decided i would just blog for the little while i still have to stay here. One cool thing is that yesterday and today they had food :) so i got to eat it to. Funny, it was from chartwells. So one job is feeding the other job. haha just kinda ironic in my opinion. I got my grade back for my speech that i did on tolerance. and i thought i was going to do really bad because everyone was confused. but i got a 89.6 :) which i'm happy for. I got a 96 on the last one...or was it a 94 i can't remember. So provided i do okay on the last one and i do okay on my final exam i should be okay. Our next set of speeches are our persuasive ones and i couldn't think of ANYTHING to do it on. so i was looking online at different topics i could do it on and i read this one suggestion, it was like treatment of the elderly. and then i remembered the other day this little old lady crossing the street and was looking like she was having some troubles. and i was going to go help her but i didn't wanna miss my bus.. i know...i'm terrible. i should have just helped her. but i see her every wednesdays. so next time i see her i will. but anyway i think i'm going to do my speech on being a serving citizen...or something...but like things we can do to help others. well i don't know it might not work out. but that is the only thought i have as of yet.

I get to go home tomorrow and i'm SOOOOOOOOOOO excited to have a week off of school and work and i can spend time at home. Man. i'm looking forward to it so much. so this last little bit of work is killing me. i just want to leave! but when i get home i have a test and a quiz to do online. ewwwwww. and laundry and i need to clean my bathroom really bad before i leave. it's gross and i know my roommate won't clean it.

Oh and i figured out a way to not get TOO frustrated with my roommates not taking out the garbage. I'll just take it out before it gets to the point of disgusting and then that is where the thoughts go through my head "how can you not take that out!!!" So it's worked so far. I don't necessarily ENJOY it but it's not awful. and it doesn't make me wanna throw stuff at my roommates soooo :)

Ahhhh only 25 minutes left until i get to leave! Oh i was getting so mad. So for some reason or another i have TERRIBLE luck on farkle....and i don't even know why! Like seriously i just lose and lose and lose! well then i was playing and i was actually doing okay (against someone for chips) and my internet froze and kicked me off and i lost! but seriously i got like a 3000 point roll with no power dice! How amazing. i wanted to scream. but i kinda want to just quit playing farkle cause it makes me so mad. but at the same time it's so addicting.

Well i should probably just publish this post since it's gone on pretty long and i'm SURE it's just so exciting hu? ;)
K...publish

For those who were concerned...

In response to my last couple facebook updates that were indeed quite sad, well they were due to the fact that i got my letter from the nursing program here at ISU and i did not make it in. i was faced with some pretty big disappointed but Michael's extremely perfectly random trip home saved me from more. I realized God has a plan in all this and i was telling him that it's hard because i can't see the road but i told him i would trust him and walk this road with him if he would guide me. So I know everything will work out one way or the other and that he has MY best interest in mind and that he cares for me so deeply and he knows what is best for me even more than i do. I'm a little scared not going to lie...being a nurse is my dream...however going to school for years and years trying to get into a nursing program is not. But there is not a whole lot i have control over here. I'm excited to be going back home. I miss it so much. and being there makes me happy to think about living back there next year. Thank you to all who shared your concern with me i appreciate it. Oh an another good thing that comes out of this is i'll get to keep my work study job hopefully next semester so that's awesome.
Well i really need to write my speech for communications so i'll talk with you all later :)

Hmmm....

In just 3 more days October will be over. I guess i'm happy about it since well that means that is just a little closer to when this semester will be over and then this year. right? Anyways...these last couple of days have seriously been filled with so much.. anxiety? Yea i guess you could say anxiety. All the letters of decision from the nursing program have been sent...though i have yet to receive mine. It's honestly just killing me. I waited all day yesterday hoping it would be there when i got home and i got home and...it wasn't there. So today same thing. It's weird it's like i honestly feel disappointed already and i haven't even gotten my letter. It's like it seems foolish of me to think i honestly made it in...i mean seriously. Boise may be seeing me more than it has before next year. I guess we'll see. If it's not here today though. I might just die.
I can't remember if i have said this before or not. But i got another job. It's technically a work study but they aren't paying me out of work study or something. But it's the nursing department i am an office assistant. It's nice cause every day i get more work to do. Yesterday i actually worked almost the full 4 hours i was here. And today i made a run down to another building that was fun. It took like 20 minutes haha, cause i had to walk down but i caught a bus on the way back up.
Tonight i am going to a costume party at Turner Hall. If you dress up you get in for a free buffet..might as well?? I'm not really too excited about it though. mainly right now i'm not too excited about much. I'm tired and i want to sleep.
We had our flag football championship last night but the other team had to forfeit so we won. but we donated a couple of our players just so we could still play. so me and this other girl went over their and our team totally won. I played really good i think anyway. I got a touchdown and caught every ball that was thrown my way. Which was like 6 or so. So i was happy about it. But then our team went out to celebrate our "victory" and we stayed out till like 12. Man... it was fun but i wish i hadn't stayed up so late. Oh and we were picking animals we thought everyone was and everyone said i'm a sheep...??? mmmmmk. And michael.. haha. michael is an ant eater :) pretty appropriate in my book. ;) i still love you michael.
oh i had a close call earlier today. I was going to the restroom and was putting my backpack on the hook on the bathroom stalls but i sorta missed the hook and my backpack fell on the ground and my laptop was in it and i heard my laptop hit the ground. I was so scared i didn't even wanna take my laptop out to see what had happened. but i did, and it's all good. thank you jesus! i don't know what i would do if i broke my laptop. There is no way i can afford one.

It's been a while

This last weekend i got to go back home...Oh my...if you read any of my facebook comments you will know that it was amazing. I just can't even express how good it felt to be back in my house, in my room, with my family, in my church, with my friends. Oh goodness...just fabulous. I missed it so much. Well i mean i mess it already. On the drive back i ended up driving the whole way cause michael was so tired. It wasn't too bad because i really didn't feel THAT tired. plus music does alot. Then Sunday night i slept for 12 hours. wow. I think i can count on one hand how many times i've done that. but i still felt super tired yesterday. And then it was lame i got this really weird side ache, like you know one you would get while you are running. but i was just sitting it bed and i think it lasted for like an hour and half...maybe longer. it was kinda intermittent. but then we were supposed to have a flag football game at 11 last night but between my side ache and then my throat started hurting and then getting really dizzy i figured going would not be a good idea so i called Michael to tell him i wasn't coming and he said if i didn't they would have to forfeit so i went...and well i ended up scraping up my knee pretty bad from the turf. and we lost and it wasn't really that fun. But oh well, they got to play and i think they enjoyed that. And today i didn't have O-chem so i got to sleep in a little but i just feel so physically tired...And i found out i have to work tonight for like 3 hours. which is cool, but i didn't really want to. And we just had softball class and our team lost the tournament :( sad. I played catcher for like two innings and one inning they were throwing it home and the runner (Brad) literally fell on top of me...so i got some more scrapes on both legs and some bruises. But oh well....my legs didn't look pretty before hand anyways.
It was pretty funny, while i was home bryce and i were sitting outside in the grass and i felt this weird thing on my leg and i look down and there was a worm crawling on me!!! Eww. why would a worm be crawling on my leg!?? It was pretty gross.
Well i can't really think of anything else to say...my brain feels kinda fried...and don't even know why. i guess i need sleep or something.

It's half way through the week

Yesterday was a pretty exciting day. Want to know why? Well i gave my speech...and it was fabulous. I felt bad because i was 5th speaker out of 7 and during all the speeches i kept thinking that mine was really good. The one difficulty was mine was kinda long. The first time i practiced it was 17 minutes long, and it was supposed to be 6-7 minutes. But anyway i was really exciting when i got up to do mine, and i did it pretty well i thought. Well after class i was about to leave and my professor asked me if i could stay a second. i was like.. "uhh yeah" So he waited till everyone left and he said, "I just wanted to say that you're speech was very good. I was impressed, it had everything i was looking for in a speech. Probably the only critique i would give you is to slow down. (not like i don't know that. i do tend to talk fast normally :) ). I was wondering if it would be alright when i give my evaluations in class if i use your speech as an example of positive things i look for." Naturally i said yes. Then he also asked if i had time that he wanted to record it so he could keep it on record as a good speech to show later. Oh my goodness. Can i tell you how extremely happy i was????? So very. I was like flying. Oh yeah and he said i got an A which is a big deal for his class because earlier when he was going over his syllabus he was saying he doesn't give out very many A's, only to speakers he thinks do superior jobs. So i felt very successful.
That was really the most exciting thing. But it did make the rest of my day go pretty well, just becuase i was in such a good mood i think.
Oh man, i kinda feel bad. I checked my schedule for work, and i work Friday. But michael doesn't work at all this weekend. Kinda sad. I guess it's probably just because i'm still in training.
And, i'm pretty excited for this weekend because CJ and Katelyn are coming down i think. or up...whichever it is. And Katelyn is going to stay with me for the weekend. It should be pretty fun. I'm looking forward to it, and i hope it works out.
Well i have quite a bit of homework to do and i have Daisies tonight and flag football too!! So excited. 
Talk to you all later!

Alrighty Tighty!

So it's been a while since i've blogged. I have been pretty busy. I got a job!! And not only that i got 20 hours this weekend. It's pretty different than what i'm used to. It's hard to get used to the mentality that like i get paid for standing there sometimes. There main phrase is "hurry up and wait" It's catering so we are paid to have stuff ready at a certain time so we hurry up to get everything set up and then we get done before the event starts then we just have to wait for everyone to get there and be ready to eat. Then we serve and after we serve the main meal we wait...and then we clear it then....they usually have some sort of main thing and we just wait for them to all clear out before we can clean up. But the best part, best part! We get to eat all the good food. mmmmm. My first nice we had prime rib, salmon *which was amazing* and CHEESECAKE! I was SO amazingly happy. Oh my gosh. Except they had to throw away like 20 pieces i wanted to take them all home. But it was so good. And all the chiefs are awesome and like giving us food. One thing that is really confusing is there is another Ashley there sooo... we never know who people are talking to. So today we decided that they need to call me AJ, but it still is hard when they call her ashley...cause i still respond.
But anyway basically i'm saying it's a pretty sweet job. The people i work with are really awesome, i like them.
Oh yeah and thursday....it sucked so bad. At softball practice i was playing catcher and i was trying to catch a throw down from second base and the girl that threw it didn't have a very good arm so it was pretty short. So i stepped up and bent down but i didn't get up close enough and it bounced right in front of me and came up and hit me in the knee. It even left seem marks. It hurt so bad. the bruise is like as big as...as big as a regular baseball, or bigger. and it has the little dots where the seem was. Well THEN i was standing being first base coach and i was thinking about how bad my knee hurt when the third basemen on the other team threw it to his first basemen and the first baseman missed it and it hit me in the shin. It hurt so so so so bad. Worse than my knee. It got a huge goose egg on it. I didn't know you're legs could get goose eggs, i thought it was just your head. but it did. It was as big as a full sized egg i'm sure. haha. Well that bruise is not that big yet, but it still hurts a ton. And it hurts to even just put pressure on my leg. it's crazy. Oh yeah and they are different legs so both of them hurt. And my MCL has been causing me some major problems lately, which is quite frustrating.
So Tuesday i give my speech and i'm giving it on Homsechooling. I'm really exciting. I just finished writing it and i think it should be pretty good. I really don't mind giving speeches.
Well i kinda feel like i'm going to fall asleep so. I'm going to go :)

One Month

So it's been a month since the family dropped me off here. It feels like it has gone by really fast and really slow all at the same time. I guess i don't really feel like this is home. Well...i guess cause it's not. but i'm getting used to it. getting used to my routine and stuff.
Yesterday we went and played flag football, and i owned :) It was awesome. I scored a touch down and when a girl scores a touch down it's 9 points instead of 6 (we still lost) but i also got an interception and caught a couple passes. It was really fun, but for some reason my foot hurts really bad today. LAME. I am really enjoying football though, like right now i just want to go play. hehe
One of the student activities today was, "build a bengal" So michael brad and i waited in line for like an hour and half and got our bengal bears. it's SO cute and soft. i love it :) hehe. Don't tell but we are giving one of them to katelyn.
We have our softball midterm today...ha i think it's ridiculous we even have to have a midterm or any tests in softball but whatever, she said she gave it to a 10 year old and he got a B so i'm not TOO worried about it.
Well the computer lab has class at 2 so i better go! 
Love ya all! :) 

Week 4: Complete

So was crossing off days that i have already done on my class schedules and i realized today completes week 4. Crazy...it really does not feel like it has been that long. It's alright though, i mean classes are going good for the most part. I have my first test on Monday. Hmm... i don't know how i feel about that. It's kinda funny because like i was talking to my room mate and she took the class i'm taking and she said it was the only C she got becuase it was so easy becuase it's all online. And basically all we have is tests and it's only 4 so she didn't read the text till like the day before when she realized she had a test and then she did bad on them. I realized i was doing that very thing so i decided i should start studying. So i feel alittle better about it.

Yesterday was Wednesday and we went to River of Life for their Wednesday night activities and it was so much fun. I got to "help" in the daisy room. That was all i was supposed to be doing but they don't exactly have a teacher and the lady that was in there that was supposed to be teaching was....boring. and she was kinda just strange in general and she was reading the bible story and personally, I was getting bored, and i couldn't imagine how boring it would be for the little 5 year olds so i felt kinda bad but i sorta took over. We ended up acting out the story and they really enjoyed that. it was pretty funny becuase like the story was "Jesus Feeds the 5000" and so the craft was they were to decorate the paper bags and and put paper fish and bread in them.. Well since i LOVE coloring i wanted to color a bag so i drew a flower on it and this one girl wanted me to draw a flower on her bag too....needless to say i drew flowers on ALL of their bags. Well all 4. but still. haha. Oh yeah and when we started we were coloring pictures and this one girl wanted to draw on the back of hers so i asked if i could draw on it too. So i drew a palm tree then the other girl wanted a palm tree then one girl wanted an octopus to go with her palm tree....i told her she better try that one since i have never drawn an octopus in my life. I could try but i have no clue what it would look like. Ha one very interesting thing was this one girl to start with was not happy because she wanted to be in rainbows so i was trying to make her happy. I asked if she wanted to be my friend and she said no...? ha that's a first. so then later in class i kept asking if she wanted to be my friend and she kept saying no. So then i was asking the other girls if they  wanted to be my friend since Sam didn't want to. One girl said, "No i don't think so....*pause*... I'm just kidding! I do!" wow i didn't know 5 year old's had a since of humor like that.
So basically i had such a good evening with those little girls and decided i would much rather be in there than in chi alpha so i was going to ask if they had a teacher for the class but before i could the children's director asked if i would want to help in there more because there isn't anyone who can regularly be in there. So i'm very happy and looking forward to it. It would be a better class if i actually got the lesson in advance and came up with cool projects for them instead of the lame ones they have but since i have no resources for printing and i don't wanna spend all my money i'll just let Mary prepare them all. I'll just have to make the boring crafts and lessons exciting :D haha. Cause i'm quite sure i can.

So after church Michael MADE me play inter-mural flag football. Much to my dismay i consented and went along...i didn't' know it was going to be so fun. I actually want to play and go to their games. I caught an interception and that was fun. But you know they don't really throw to girls unless the play requires it...so that's too bad, even though i found out i can actually catch pretty well.

And now i'm waiting because i have a job interview for chartwells in 15 minutes. I'm excited to have a job...but would much prefer if it wasn't with food. but i need work i need to save for school next year or i'll be in a world of hurt i'm sure of it. But God will provide and everything will work out as he plans it too....at least that is what i'm hoping and praying for. so i'll let ya'll know how the interview goes.

You know what?

So last night i stayed up WAY to late. I'm so tired today and i want a nap so badly. but no nap is in store as of the moment. I say maybe after softball but that is at like 4 oclock and i still have homework to do. so maybe no nap? i don't know.. Anyways, other than being tired it has been a good day. I feel quite excited about most of my classes. Organic Chemistry is so much fun and i understand everything we have gone over so far. Almost to the point class is boring because we go so slow. But it is exciting to me. I actually almost feel like i shouldn't do the study problems though because i enjoy it so much. and anything i enjoy must be wasting my time ;) Communication...well class is long and boring but i'm actually very excited to write my speech and deliver it. I plan on doing it on homeschooling! It should be interesting. and fun.
After that michael and i went to mcdonalds. i had already eaten lunch cause i'm pro and bring one...but naturally michael doesn't. but anyway i went with him and he did share with me a little so that was nice. not that i needed it.
Now i'm in the library and you know what? I LOVE libraries. I have not the slightest idea why. but walking through and seeing aaaaallllllll the books just gives me this feeling. I could just walk through and look at book titles for hours. No joke. I actually really want to just pick and isle and find a book and read it. though i fear i wouldn't exactly have time for extra-curricular reading like that. Though, i did get two books today. one is called "the last lecture" it's this guy who is terminally ill with cancer and wants to make his last lecture and i think it is mostly to leave for his kids since he knew he wouldn't be able to make it through to deliver it to them later in life. Sad...but last semester one of my professors read some of it and i wanted to read it. So that should be interesting. I also got the ASL dictionary! well i guess A not THE because i'm sure it's quite exclusive since there is SO many signs. But that should be fun to go through.
I think someone is snoring. but i can't see where. haha
well michael just texted me and said his class is boring and we're going to go up to the softball field and take a nap. :) i'm happy. i love naps. i love michael and well that about sums it up.

Update and such

Yesterday i went to River of Life church. it was actually really good. I enjoyed it. It's so good to be in agreement with so many other people praising God. I had an interesting realization while worshiping though. It was a nice one. I was thinking how nice it is that even though River of Life is not MY church that they still all worship the same God i do. Looking around and seeing all these people i didn't know worshiping MY God who i do know. So that was nice. It was kinda funny though seeing that every church i guess has their own way of worshiping. Even further every person does. I like to sign when i worship and alot of people at River of Life like to clap...to every song...even if they are clapping on the off beat when everyone else is clapping on the on beat. Or when they are clapping WAY to fast of a tempo and mess up the whole worship team becuase they are clapping the wrong rhythm. Basically i'm saying i could do without the clapping : ) haha but the rest was good . I think i'm going to ask if i can help out in Girls Ministries wednesday too so that should be fun.
I had an interesting though during worship though. We were singing "Your grace is enough" and i was thinking
1) is God's grace really enough for us and
2) what does grace even really mean??
well after talking with Bryce and google search we decided that God's grace is kinda a pleura of things but mainly his mercy. It also includes his love and kindness and favor to us, kinda just like a cover all. So then that leads me back to my first question: is it enough for me? I think it is. I mean i guess if i think his love and kindness is enough for me then i should be happy just at the thought i'm alive and that he DOES love me and that i have a chance to live in eternity with him. That may or may not exclude his power and miraculous workings but for me just knowing i can be saved by his grace is quite enough for me. Is it enough for you?

Changing gears now, i took out the trash today...again. It was so lame becuase i took it out last time and then i don't know who it was but when it was full they took the trash out of the can and set it right next to it. and i don't know if you're aware but when garbage just sits there it smells...pretty awfully. So it was making our whole house smell and when michael walked in and said it smelled i realized it was quite time to take it out. So i gave in and quite being stubborn and took it all out. I also was getting annoyed at how dirty the floor was so i mopped it. I now realize how as a mom things like that just grade on you when no one else will do it. it's like, "really? am i the only one that is bothered by it?" I love you mom, ha and i'm sorry for not taking more of an initiative.

Oh yeah and i took a patho quiz today...haha i got 8/20...ouch...i couldn't even believe it. I didn't think i had done THAT bad. guess i was wrong. I was kinda upset about it. but oh well. nothing i can do about it now just work harder on the next ones.

Well i think it is nap time for sure right now. So long : )

Gloomy Day Out

So it's really rainy and dark out today and it's awesome. I love really grey days, except when i have to walk in it. Which i was really worried this morning because i was going to have to ride my bike in it and i was NOT excited but i hitched a ride with Brad :) and then michael picked me up. What good brothers i have. Anyways, for lunch today i went to...do i dare say? I went to Taco Bell because i really wanted to try their new chicken flat bread sandwhiches for 99 cents.. Must say it was very good. Chalupas are better...but whatever can't beat 99 cents. We have softball class in like a half hour...but i'm not sure what we're going to do though because it's raining. Maybe we'll go in and play the wii. ha that would be fun. Or we'll just play in the rain. Who knows...
Last night. Super fun. I was going to blog about it last night but i was too tired when i got home. We had chi alpha, which i really like then like the whole chi alpha group it seems went to the Pie Hole (which doesn't even serve pie!! it's Pizza!) and it was fun getting to know people and then they played the one song you dance too... it's like "slide to the left, slide to the right, now cha cha ya'll.." I don't know what it is anymore but it was super fun and we looked like idiots i'm quite sure but oh well. Clearly i haven't ever really cared about that. hehe
I turned in my application into the nursing program yesterday. and i had mostly sinking feelings. Because my GPA for the classes they use to get into the program totaled 3.23... which = crappy. And my TEAS score was a 62. and the other thing they calculate is your health volunteer work or experience which i have none...so doesn't look very bright for me. I overheard some girls talking this morning in my Organic class and they were saying the last few years that everyone who applied made it in...so i don't know what's going to happen. I mean i'm okay if  don't get in cause i'll go to BSU but i didn't feel okay about it yesterday. I felt really discouraged and i wanted to cry. This is my dream.  But i guess whatever happens happens and i'll make it through it. right? I try to tell my self it will all work out for the best but it's hard to reassure myself.
Well time for softball!! Miss you all

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is Thursday. Tomorrow i have class. Tomorrow after class..i get to go home!! I'm so excited. I t feels like it has seriously been like at least a month already. Well I'm certainly very happy if you cannot tell. I had my first official lab today for organic chem. and it was super easy. I got done in like 45 minutes and got a 100 percent on it! yay! (Ha i just splashed a bunch of water all over my face from the water i'm drinking! geeze! where is my sippy cup!?) Oh yeah and then after class i was like i really need to do some school work but then i decided i kinda wanted to get my clothes out for the weekend first then i layed on my bed and guess what happened? i fell asleep. for 2 hours! oh my goodness! i couldn't even believe it. but it felt magnificent i feel alive now so...The guys keep giving me a hard time when it's 9 oclock and i say i'm tired and ready to go to sleep..they just don't understand how demanding my body tends to be. haha. well it's super stormy and windy out right now and i have no desire to go out in it but i'm going to chi alpha tonight (for the first time) so i guess i have to. Thankfully michael is going to so we get to drive. Okay so i better actually really get some school work done now.

Yay

So i really need to be doing my school work. ha but i wanted to say that today we actually got to play softball! Yay! I was so happy. But our team lost...which is not that cool. I think i have lost every game i have played this entire month...not even exaggerating. But anyway it was fun but my knee kinda is throbbing now. unfortunately. Oh yeah it was really frustrating today i was going to ride my bike to school but my chain fell off of it and i didn't have time to fix it AND make it to class in time so michael took me :) what a good brother. Lets see what else...uhhh i don't think i have any other interesting news. so until later :)

Tired Tired Tired

So i am super tired right now...but we are going to play settlers of catan and so i'm going to stay up and play it. Bad idea? Maybe. but i've been doing homework all day so i feel like i need a little down time. But i guess sleep would be considered down time hu? Well i'm sitting in my brothers apartment currently and there are people upstairs playing SUPER loud music with the bass really loud. How annoying!! Oh yes and i made dinner tonight. I made this BBQ chicken ring thing. It was really good. and Michael and Mike came and ate it. So not a bunch of leftovers. oh well i'll only be here till Thursday so perhaps a good thing. Oh yeah but Pathobiology is going to be so much work. Like to put it into perspective, i have done a chapter and a half of the required reading and videos and have 14 pages of notes. Crazy. And it's dumb because the professor is a terrible speaker. She talks all monotone and i have to listen to an hour and half of her this week. 49 minutes left. haha. Well i'm going to go now. we are going to start our game soon. Oh yeah aaaaannnnnndd home in 3 days!! Unless you want to say it's almost tomorrow already then it's only 2 days. haha

Sunday...New Week

So it's the start of a new week and it marks a week of living on my own. We aren't going to church this morning. I know we are heathens or whatever. ha. but i have good reasons. I really don't feel excited to go to any other church but Meridian. I will eventually try a new one. But i just don't want to. Meridian is my home and i always look forward to church at home. But now i have to find a new home church here. It's rather sad actually. But i'll be back home to go to Meridian at some point cause it will always be my home.
I have no idea what we are doing today. I really really need to get my homework done. I said i was going to do it Friday..And then Saturday. Still hasn't happened. Haha. I'm such a procrastinator. I think it's really that as soon as a i start homework i've officially gone back to school. And it's so hard to get prepared for that mentally. Having only 6 weeks off in the summer sucks. and i'll never take summer school again. EVER. and i if i say i am someone please kill me first. haha.

Finish first week. Check

Alright so technically it's not the end of the week... I'm fully aware. But no classes tomorrow, so I'm finished with my first week.. ish.I realized I went to a movie like 3 times this week. Haha Tuesday we went and saw prince of Persia, yesterday we went and saw A team and tonight we went to Letters to Juliet. Oh it was really cool. yesterday the patricks called us up cause they were in American Falls and they invited us for dinner. And then afterward Link and Chinelle came back to Pocatello with us and we swam in Michaels pool at his apartment and went and watched the movie. So yeah i enjoyed that.
On Tuesday when we went to see Prince of Persia I totally slipped and fell in the movie theater and i have this really large bruise on my knee and i keep accidentally kneeling on it and it rather hurts. I'll have to see if i can get a good picture of it.
We have had free food for like 5 meals this week too. haha. Today it was the "Quadtastic Blowout" and they had bbq pork sandwiches or something like that and they had a raffle thing and i won. I think i won a USB i'll have to go pick it up tomorrow though.
I think i'm really going to enjoy my Organic Chem. Class. well at least today's material was very fun. I enjoyed it alot. I know it's going to be pretty hard though. But i'm ready for the challenge...but i'm not ready for the challenge of Pathobiology.. that class frankly just scares me.
Another thing, i learned not to use ATM's if they aren't your bank. Not worth it. Too many stupid fees.. ughh.. so aggravating. If US Bank wasn't so far away i would just ride my bike but it's like at least 5 miles away.. possibly more. And uhhhh I have nearly killed myself already this week just riding to campus alone. I'm hoping i'm going to get like really fit and have awesome leg muscles. That's my plan anyway. We'll see if it works out that way. Anyways even though i don't have class tomorrow at the moment i'm very tired. Even though i took an hour nap already. But whatever. Whoever is reading this.. thanks. It's fun to share with people. Night

The College Life

So this is tragic. I had written this very very long blog on here but our internet wasn't working at my apartments so i was just going to go  over to michaels but then my computer was freaking out and i had to restart it and then it isn't here anymore. I copied it but i guess you lose whatever you had copied when you restart. Frankly i don't feel like writing it all out again. But i will still write stuff.. just not now. haha.

Day 1

Alright! So this is my first night by myself on my own. I got all my appartment room set up and it's super cute. And VERY full :) hehe. I have alot of stuff. It was a tearful goodbye in the Pizza Hut parking lot but thanks to Michael that didn't last long. I love my room mates. Joann is legit and i think i'm really going to like her. But she has a really busy schedule (21 credits) so i don't know if i'll see her much. Echo i haven't had to much time to meet really but she seems really nice. And then Kari just did get here like 5 minutes ago but she seems really nice. I'm excited :) Brad, Michael, Gino and I all went to play ping pong today at the sub so that was fun. And they wanted me to swim but uhhh it's like raining and cold so i decided not to. I went back and talked to Joann so that was okay with me. And then I was going to do stuff with Michael and them but they are having an Age of Empire tourny at their place. Oh well. I'm good :) Well good day so far. Orientation tomorrow..... ewww. Until tomorrow :)

sigh...

Tomorrow.... do i have to say anything else? :'(
I'm pretty sure i'm not going to stay together very well.
My poor poor family that has to deal with me. haha. well i guess that would mostly be Michael.

Why Blog?

Hey everyone...whoever it is that is actually reading this. My purpose for this blog is pretty simply: my mom. I wanted to make it easy for her to keep up with my life, and then I figured there are probably others who would like to keep up with it too. So here you go, if you care to take part in it then please do! I would love for it to be read. Enjoy : )
ashley joy

Oh yeah...and I warn you. I will make grammer errors and spelling errors I'm quite sure but it's only because I don't want to spend my whole life blogging. Unless I happen to get addicted. But I'll try to make it reader friendly.
