Hello!

My, it has a been a few months since the last post.  I’ll do as much updating as possible since my last post.

May:
-Went to MTAC. Survived though the Nashville Floods that weekend and was forced to stay in Nashville an extra day waiting for the floors to recede.
-Got back to campus right before the due date of some of our finals.
-Moved off campus for the summer and back to Nashville, got a summer job as a waitress.

June:
-Worked mainly, lol.
-Worked on my tan whenever I could. B]

July:
-Celebrated the 4th of July with my family
-Worked more
-Got a ballin’ 32-inch TV for my dorm room. :D

That’s really that’s happened this summer. :/ Family pictures are next week and family vacation is the beginning of next month. I’m getting a new laptop then as well. I might be going to Dragoncon. I move back to campus in mid-August. There’s just been nothing of interest to really blog about lately.

:/ Well, until things pick up….

Spring Break

Hello!

This week is my Spring Break and I’m back home. I’m over my sick and I feel a lot better. :)

It’s so refreshing to be back home, it’s been over a month since I’ve been here because of work and the like. I’ve just been so busy lately, it’s crazy.

Anyway, so today I saw Alice in Wonderland. I thought that it was interesting. :)

Oh yes! I finally realized that one of my favorite things to do is to support local artists whenever I find one that I really like and today I have found a woman by the name of Jamie Liana. She is an amazing New Aged artist centered in Nashville, TN. Clicking her names leads you to her Myspace page where you can listen to her music. She is also available on iTunes and Amazon.com.

I had another local artist that I had learned about in Knoxville, but I’m not sure how to link to them. :( It appears that they’ve either disbanded or who knows what. This is is the only let down about local artists is when they fade into oblivion and you can’t find them anymore.

Anyway, that’s all for now. :)

Sickly

So, I woke up Saturday with a sore throat. I didn’t sleep well the night before because I kept waking up to coughing fits and the like. So, all day Saturday, I was kind of tired and coughing. The sore throat went away with a nice peppermint.

Sunday was more of the same. I woke up with another sore throat (I guess I was sleeping with my mouth open). Another peppermint and it was gone. It was also another night of bad sleep and I was starting to get testy when it came to talking to people. I was starting to get apathetic.

Monday, I woke up without a sore throat, but I was still coughing and feeling generally miserable. By the end of the night, I felt like I was going to start crying. I took some Nyquil and went to sleep.

This morning, I woke up after not getting enough sleep enough I definitely laid down for seven hours. I called the campus clinic and they got me in super early. So, I went and they told me that I have bronchitis and I might have pneumonia, so I got a chest x-ray to see if that were the case. The doctor said he wasn’t sure and said that I needed a blood test to test for something else that turned out to be negative. He gave me a breathing test and for someone who doesn’t have asthma, I was breathing like an asthmatic. It was kinda worrisome.

He put me on some steroids and antibotics and I’m feeling better, but I’m not really breathing better. I’m kinda worried.

Anywho~! Away from that, I’ve just been kinda blah about school lately. There’s a lot going on for me and I’m not falling behind or anything. I feel pretty good about everything, I think I’m just started to get burned out on this semester. I need some time at home. I haven’t been able to go home as much since I got my job. I miss my family a lot, but I go home for springbreak next Friday, so I’m really happy about that

Well, that’s all for now!

What’s going on with you?

Happy Holidays and Going To Chattanooga (Again!)

Yeah, I know I went earlier this month, but meh, I’m going again. I’ll be gone for three days and I’ll return on the 30th. ^^

Christmas was awesome. I mostly cooked and ate and that was just fine with me. I’d put pictures up of my gifts, but I don’t really feel like it at the moment. I’m too tired/lazy to actually do it. >_< But I did get a Snuggie. I was kinda surprised because… well, the commericals make me angry. Like you can’t read a book or hold a baby because blankets are too much trouble.. But, I got one and I do enjoy it, lol.

I also finally help my dad set up the iPod Mini. He’s technology impaired and things I’m like a Wizard or something on the computer, lol, so I ripped most of his CDs to his computer and added them to his iTunes and such. I’m such a good daughter. I also helped my sister set up her Zune. My dad still wants me to get him some Skullcandy headphones. I let him use mine and he fell in love with them. He actually tried to steal them from me! But they’re pink and mine, so I wouldn’t let him and promised to buy him a pair back on campus since the campus electronic store sells them at a discounted price.

I’m not sure what else to mention in this post. I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday and I’ll be back with you for the New Year!

What did you get for Christmas?
Excited for the year to be over with?
Made a New Years Resolution yet?

Babysitting and Baby-colds

So, on Monday I did my mother a favor and took over her day babysitting her niece (My cousin Crystal)’s kids. Crystal has two little ones, a nine year old boy and a four year old girl. It wasn’t so bad, they were really good. Besides being a over-excited about playing video games, they were awesome. There was even a third kid who was another cousin that was staying over that was good as gold, so I was watching three kids from about 2-6pm, which was perfectly fine with me.

Well, the four-year old that I was watching had a bad cough. I didn’t think too much of it and told her to cover her mouth when she coughed and kept hand sanitizer handy. Well, I ended up getting sick yesterday. I stayed all day in bed and hoped that it wouldn’t get worse than a fever and congestion.  And luckily, when I woke up this morning, I felt much better!

Lol, onto other subjects! I’ve been doing a bunch of nothing still. It’s driving me insane. Whenever I’m on campus, I always feel busy or have somewhere to go, even if it’s just a walk. But at home, it’s home or going out, but what is there really to do when you’re sorta broke? Lol, campus and classes are starting to look more and more exciting.

On Sunday, I’m heading down to Chattanooga to visit with my friends. It should be a fun few days. I’ve been to Alana’s house a few times and this’ll be the first time I’ve gone to my friend Jessica’s. I’m excited!

So, now onto the subject of Christmas, which I’m fairly certain a lot of people are thinking about.  I’ve started cooking already with my grandmother. Yeah, I think two days in advance is a bit much, but my mom can’t make cornbread for nothing and we need it for Christmas and if my grandma feels like doing it today, I guess we are.

I hope that Christmas goes smoothly. I really like nice quiet holidays. The craziness is fun for a bit, but I just like to relax… that and open presents. Yay, presents!

I also started yet another short story. This time it’s from the point of view of a woman! Le gasp! Hopefully it’ll turn into something interesting and if it does, you can be certain that it’ll appear on my Works page. :)

I can’t think of much else to say for the moment, so I’ll end this entry here. I’ll update again on Christmas!
