So much has happened in the past week...so hopefully writing about it will get rid of a little bit of my frustrations!! Where do I begin...

Well let's start with the day that I moved in. My routine personality was frazzled when a new roommate had taken over what used to be completely mine!! Now maybe what you didn't know was that I had a double room completely to myself because we had only four people living in a six person unit. This allowed my other podmate, Casey, and I to have double rooms to ourselves. This changed for the spring semester when McKenzie moved in. So that has been an adjustment in itself.

Next, I had set my alarm on Wednesday morning for 9:00a.m. because I had class at 11:00a.m. I was woken up by a phone call at 7:45a.m. from one of my classmates asking what building we had one of our classes in. I answered his question but was quick to remind him that we had the 8:00 class he was asking about on Thursday mornings, not Wednesdays. He told me that it was on Wednesday mornings and when I checked my schedule, it sure was on WEDNESDAY mornings!! Thank goodness that I had my car parked right outside of my building because I put on sweatpants, threw some toothpaste in my mouth, and ran out the door...only to be less than 5 minutes late for my first class of the semester!! NOT BAD BUT NOT A GOOD START TO THE 2ND HALF OF MY YEAR!!

After almost missing my first class, things started to look better for me. I headed home on Friday night to spend the night with my boyfriend, Eric, and go to my sister's cheering competition on Saturday. For the second year in a row, they took 2ND PLACE and we couldn't have been happier for them!! This weekend was also going to get much better because when I got back to school, my roommates and I were headed to the Verizon Wireless Arena where we would be watching the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in Manchester, NH that we participated in way back in October. They were showing it on the jumbo-tron and were having many other activities that were going on at the same time. After this is where things went down hill...

After watching the show and having a good time we were walking back to the car in the absolute freezing cold, joking about how funny it would be if my car had been towed because we were in such a rush to find a parking spot when we got there! Low and behold, IT WAS GONE!! To make a long story short, I had to pay $120 bucks cash to get my car back and drive it home that night...UGH!!!

Now things are going a little bit better...I'm going home in another week and a half for another cheering competition and can't wait!!

Well I suppose that it for now...it's enough to stress anyone out!!

So the new year is finally here; nothing feels any different though. Guess it's the same as every other new year!!

Anyway, things last semester went very well...grades were good, roommates were amazing. Unfortunately one of them left and decided to do online classes instead, :(...miss you already Caitlin!! On top of everything else that was good last semester, I got to do so many awesome things that I never thought I would be able to do. I met Danny and Johanna from Real World Austin at SNHU and my roommate, friends, and I helped out at the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in Manchester which airs on January 27th. That was such an awesome experience!! We actually thought we weren't going to be able to get in because there were so many other people who wanted to help and the crew was behind so they were only using people that were skilled workers; if you didn't know how to frame a wall or sheetrock, you weren't going to be able to help. We made our way over to the site one night and waited for a couple of hours and they needed people to help move things into the house. My two roommates and I were standing behind the fence and quickly jumped over. What an amazing house and unbelievable crew that was working on site. That was something that I will never forget!!

This winter break has been absolutely wonderful!! I love being able to come home and do absolutely nothing!! I recently went to Sugarloaf mountain to spend the weekend skiing and whatnot, however some person on the face of this earth gave me strep throat and I was miserable for the whole weekend...:-(

Eric, my boyfriend, went back to school yesterday for RA training. He doesn't start classes for another week and a half, but he has to be there anyways. We didn't do much this vacation; we have both been pretty busy lately working and whatnot so we are planning to do things this summer. He wants to embark upon another camping trip in May and I want to go but if it's going to be just like it was last year, crappy weather and cold, YUCK, it's going to be POOPY!!

Well anyway, I suppose that if I keep talking I'm just going to be rambling so I will leave you with this for now. I'll be writing more once I get back to school in a couple of weeks!!
