April Showers...

April is the LONGEST month everrr when you are in college. So close to finals and summer time, but so freaking long. I have been SUPER busy in the past month. Lots of tests, homework, and school work has kept me busy. My sister came to visit me which was fantastic because I hadn't seen her since Christmas break (I think). We hung out, had a movie night, had a game night, went to the creamery, and just had a good time. The next weekend, I had to go home to go to Emily's bridal shower. It was kind of at an inconvenient time as far as school goes, I had SO much due the next week, but I had to be there cause I am a bridesmaid. I am SO glad that I went, I had a FANTASTIC time seeing Emily and just hanging out.

Then this past weekend (Blue and White), Martie came to visit me! It was absolutely great because I got a nice break from school - even though I had an exam today and a paper to write for today. We went to the ShandyGaff on Friday night because the line for Indigo was OUTRAGEOUS and we got to hang out with my friend Alyssa, which was really nice. Then Saturday, we went to Waffle Shop EARLY before the line started, and instead of going tailgating and whatnot, we went shopping and found some SWEEEEEEEEEET glasses.

Theeeen on Saturday night, we were gonna go to Indigo, but when we stepped outside, it was raining. We tried to get a cab, buuuuut they were all full. Soooo we decided to stay in, take

pictures, make homemade tortillas and hummus, drink, and play card games. Then we went to waffle shop again and we TRIED to upload the pictures from the previous night, buuuuuut my camera deleted the pictures.

Sooooo we decided

to retake the photos! We had SO much fun doing it! I am so sad the weekend is over and its back to reality. I had to wake up at 7 to finish up a paper before my 9 am class, then I had to take a test at 1, which... hopefully went well. But I have pretty much decided that I will NEVER be an SLP in the south! Their accents are too crazy for me! :P

Next week is finals week. AHHHHH. I see the light at the end of the semester. Only one more year until I graduate. The next few months are going to be crucial for me. I have to get my GRE skills up to par, research more schools, and apply to grad school. O M G. I am freaking out a little... but I am concentrating on finals and current grades before I can seriously commit time to research. Also, I have to find places to volunteer for the summer, and get myself another job :-\

hmmm.

Well, a lot has happened since I have last written. I did well in my first semester of CSD, I have not broken any MORE bones, I went to the OBX with Dad, Steph, Moni, and Dad's friends and had a BLAST, acquired a snuggie (thanks mom!), was asked to be in a friend's wedding in June (which I said yes to, and acquired a beautiful bridesmaid's/sun dress), got a job serving food to freshmen - not all in that order.

That brings us to 2010, which began at the OBX. I started the year off with 2 ear infections and strep throat. Awesome, right? Well, at least things can pretty much only go up from there.. right? Well, kinda. I get back to school after spending time with the fam, and things are going well. We celebrated 21st birthdays, celebrated weekends, celebrated friendships.... until a whole group of my friends decided I wasn't gonna be their friend anymore - with no legitimate reason... well at least that I know of. It's all good though, cause I am legit better off without them.
Sooo, a few months pass and its time for SPRING BREAK!

Well, Martie and I decide that we are going on a cruise. We booked a cruise on the Carnival Destiny for 5 nights for only $430!!! AMAZING! We decide to drive to Miami to save money instead of flying. So we met in VA, then drove to Charleston, SC to stay at her friend Matt's apartment. We had fun; we went out for mexican dinner and a margarita (or two, or three). The next day we drove to Miami (overnight) and got on the ship. We had a BLAST. The cruise started Monday, Tuesday was FREEZING at sea, Wednesday was spent in Grand Turk, Thursday was supposed to be spent at Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas but it was too windy/wavy for the tender boats to get us to land, so it was a beautiful day at sea, Friday was spent at Nassau, and we came back Saturday. I tried a LOT of new things on the cruise. I ate salmon sushi, lobster, escargot, conch in the Bahamas, grouper.... I feel like there were more, but I cant recall.

So that pretty much brings us up to speed with my life over the past few months. I am thinking about moving to Queens for the summer, but there are some things that need worked out before that can happen. It would be a fantastic summer filled with Martie time, game nights, but also lots of money making. It will be oh so exciting for quite a few reasonnnnnssssss.
