long time...

It’s been a while... obviously. Well... interim is done and I am in my second week of the semester. My classes are very uninteresting... my favorite class is the Fundamentals and Integration of Technology (FIT) class because we just sit at the computer the whole period. Stats sucks because my teacher doesn't know how to teach and makes the easiest things hard. And apparently things such as medians and means and histograms are hilarious to her... plus having creeper in you class puts a damper on it. But whatever.

Well if you read Rebekah's post you'll know that there is a lovely blizzard right now... It’s really pretty when you are inside. It just sucks to go outside. But other good news... my sister is coming next week Thursday. I'm excited to show her Calvin and hopefully get her to consider coming here... I’m just praying that there won't be a blizzard or slush because that will not encourage her to come.

Another good thing... i don't have a roommate. It’s really nice I’m not going to lie. People hang out in my room all the time and watch movies and especially ALIAS!! We got people hooked!! It’s a normal occurrence to watch an Alias episode before bed... so much fun. We have also been watching Veronica Mars which is a really good show. My suitemate, Kayla, pretty much lives in my room because her roommate is sooo moody. One day they will be best friends and the next she will hate her. She creates a lot of drama. Kayla has started calling my room "Our Room" and has slept more days in my room this week than her own bed. But it’s fun.
GOOD NEWS PEOPLE!! I'm most likely coming home for Spring Break!! I'm bringing my friend Emily with. Some of our other friends are going to San Diego so we are going to meet up with them. I don't have tickets yet so it’s not confirmed but it most likely will happen. I'm excited so you all better be around March 8-15. I miss you all!!

The World Is Coming To an End!!!

i'm like freaking out because for the last two days it has been warmer in Grand Rapids, MI than in Cerritos, CA... what is going on in the world?????? i don't get it... not that i'm exactly complaining. the snow is gone but it feels weird. i do like not having to bundle up just to go to the dinning hall. anyways i just wanted to say a little "haha" to everyone ;)

!!!!

i just have to mention that it is only 10 degrees cooler in Grand Rapids right now than in California. It is a lovely 48 degrees and Cerritos is 58... its amazing. but the snow is melting and making everything soggy and kind of nasty out but still... not that cold. i though that you all should know :)

I'm done!!!!!!!!!

I'M DONE!!!! I'M DONE!! I'm done with exams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you dont' realize how excited i am... well you all probably do.
see you all soon!!!!! (2 days!!!)

singing and snow!

on Tuesday night i went to the best concert ever!! it was Matt Wertz and Dave Barnes with Gabe Dixon. they all were AMAZING!! Matt Wertz is ... i don't know how to describe it. I seriously think that he sounds better live than actually on the CDs but the CDs are still amazing. he has so much tallent and you can tell that he loves music, performing, and God. His music seriously puts me in such a good mood no matter how stressed i get. I listened to him while studying for my anatomy lab final and it helped keep me concentrated and relaxed. You seriously have to listen to him. My favorite songs are 5:19, red meets blue, heartbreaker, the way i feel and carolina. He is so real and sincere. you can tell that all the songs come from real life experiences. We got to meet with him afterward and he was so nice. he personally introduced himself to each of us. so amazing!!!

i felt like my anatomy final went pretty well. there were a few really hard ones but overall i can't complain. And right now it is officially snowing... not the snow that stina and shiloh freaked out over and it is actually sticking and not melting right away. kind of fun but a pain at the same time. walking to class sucks because it is cold and windy. i'll probably post pics later! have a great week.

19 days!

so the countdown continues to went i leave for home!! i'm really excited. I love it here but i'm ready to relax and hangout at home. These last few weeks have been filled with homwork and tests like usual.

Thanksgiving break was a lot of fun. i went to sarah's house. We had amazing food made by her mom and thanksgiving meal made by her aunt. her cousin thought that i was a clone of sarah. it was pretty funny. we did a lot of shopping and got a few good things on sale. i met a couple of her friends and we hung out which was fun. we did a lot of homework which kind of sucked but at the same time, it was good to get it done so we weren't stressed later.

I'm glad to be back and i missed all the girls on my floor. we had a "homework" party in the coffee kitchen last night. we were so hyper and we listened to christmas music. I'm going to the Matt Wertz concert tomorrow! i'm really excited because he is soooo amazing. I also have to study for my anatomy lab final! i'm freaking out!! but that's okay. I have to go to class. Have a great week!

5 weeks

its only 5 weeks until Christmas!! which I'm very excited about coming home... but in order to do that i have to go through exam week :( but there is still time. This next week is going to be busy. Last week was pretty easy but i got lazy and didn't do much so now I'm kicking myself.
Friday i went to the hockey game which was really fun. Dan went onto the ice after 2nd period and got a chance to shoot the puck to win a prize. he got his first two shots in and missed the last one. it was really funny. then we came back and watched some king of queens episodes then a little basketball... as usual. Jordan had a basketball scrimmage the next day so i left a little early. Meghyn (my roommate), Hope and Katey decided to play Monopoly so i joined them. We played until 3:30 in the morning. but it was great fun.
Saturday i tried to do homework which wasn't insanely successful. That night we went to Julienne's House for our floor retreat. We walked there because it was so close. the directions were really bad so we got a little lost but it was all really funny. We made dinner and played games (i have some great new games we will definitely have to play sometime), and watched the Holiday. so cute. We ended up talking until 4 in the morning. i was so tired. we came back and i again, attempted to do homework without much success. That was pretty much my weekend. I'm going to Sarah's (aka Franny's)(aka Rebekah's roommate's) house for thanksgiving. She lives in the Chicago area so that should be fun. I hope you all had a great week!

games and creepy people

ok so it's only Saturday night and so much has happened! I had a really long week of a bazillion tests and tons of homework.. so it was definitely time to have fun. I hung out with the girls on my floor all friday afternoon.. when i should have been doing homework :o afterwards i headed over to Jordan and Ben's room to see what we were doing tonight. and on the way i got hit on by Creepy Cape Steve... i'm not going to go into detail but the poor kid has to have some sort of mental disability but he's just so strange. I never want to relive that. later, Matt, Dan, Jordan, and I went to the hockey game which was freaking awesome... i wish our high school had a hockey team. It was so intense.. and we won!
Next, we headed to Blockbuster and took like 3 hours to pick out a movie.. actually about 45 min. but it was kind of pathetic. meanwhile, these 5 girls and a mom come in and are acting really obnoxious. one yelled "My Boobs Hurt!"... "maybe that guy could help you out." "Hey blondie could you help us?" (to Matt) .. matt not knowing what they were saying said "oh i think you need a different isle" ... we just laughed at him... next he was at the register paying and they walk right behind him and the mom grabbed his butt pretending that it was one of the girls. he did his best to no react. We walked out and jordan continued to yell at them to take a picture with him. they got excited and jumped out of the car to take a picture with matt... all the while Jordan continued to yell... "He's single, He's single... his name is Matt Last... its an easy name... Matt Last, find him on facebook." matt isn't single and as of an hour ago they haven't found him on facebook yet. it was really funny. Then we watched disterbia. Me and Jordan were freaking out because we knew what was going to happen but no one else did. it's such a good movie.

Today i did homework, vacuumed my room and did laundry. exciting stuff. we also went to the volleyball game against hope. It was soooooo intense. It was the finals for the MIAA. and WE KILLED THEM!!! it was awesome. they are going to nationals in about a week. I hope they do well. poor kayla's (my suite mate) knee is all messed up so she doesn't play at all... even though she is a freshmen but any time she would have to play is gone because she's hurt. but yea.. it was pretty intense. okay. it's homework time!

MATH-143-E

My petition to get into my math class was accepted!!! yay! ... not that i'm really all that excited to take statistics but i would not have had any clue about what class to take instead.

For funny moment of the day read Rebekah's post... :)

PS. It's FRIDAY!!!

I might not be able to play Mario Party but...

Last night I had the satisfaction of beating Jordan, Randy and Dave (twice) in Wii Boxing!! They are officially scared of me. Jordan wouldn't play be again because he didn't want to loose any more of his dignity than he already had haha.

Also, we were flipping through the channels and guess what was on? DESTINOS!! we laughed sooooo hard. Sarah, Jordan, Seth, Amy, and I all watched it in high school and sat there talking about it for a long time. It was awesome.

Then, after watching Borne Supremacy, we hit the road to IHOP. The waiter thought we were drunk because we were so hyper and laughing so hard. Unfortunately we didn't get they gay waiter that we did last time. Then the best moment of the night. All the guys were singing and dancing in the car while Amy and I just sat there and laughed hysterically.

Well I'm glad that i had a fun night because the rest of the week is going to suck because i have 3 huge tests. I'm praying for everyone in California who is dealing with the fires and especially the Tiersma family who lost their house in the Escondido fire.
