busy week.......

Is it really only Wednesday? This morning I'm taking it easy and getting a short break from this hectic week.

Here is a break-down:

Monday: Was called into work so I put in 4 extra hours. Not sure why though because it was the most BORING day I have had at work thus far. Monday night worked on my paper.

Tuesday: This is when the busyness begins. Went to work at 8 AM and didn't sit down the whole, I left at 1:30 PM. We are moving the bookstore to the UCOMM to renovate the old bookstore. Then went to Walmart to get my allergy meds and then came back to my room to finish my paper. Went to Merge then dinner. Edited my paper, went to bed at midnight.

Wednesday: Classes from 9 - 1. Registration for classes at 1 [hope everything works out]. Work from 1 - 5. MET Club meeting at 5. Come back to the room to study for physics test.

Thursday: Lab from 8 - 11. Work from 11 - 1:30. Class. Study for dynamics test.

Friday: Two test. Classes until 3:05. Leave for Leadership Training Conference.

Saturday: Conference until 3. Four hour drive back.

THE END (it makes me sleepy just writing about it)

in a while....

Yeah i know, I haven't posted a blog in a while, sue me. just kidding of course, you won't get much hahahaha.

I haven't blogged in a while because honestly I forget to do it, I'm not really use to it. So a lot has happened in the past month, spring break trip to Guatemala....chilling out with friends....movies.....etc etc.

I will write about Guatemala later, but for now I will write about this past weekend. It has been a good weekend, a stress-less weekend, which is what I needed!

Friday I got out of instrumenation [the worse meteorology class known to man, it is SOOOO useless and boring] and met BJ at the BCM and we sat there for a little bit. We then went back to my place to try to recover the photos I accidentally deleted from Guatemala, no luck. We layed around the place, I took about a 15 minute nap and then we went to get something to eat. We tried the new restaurant (well new to me and him), Tropical Smoothie Cafe. It was alright, a little expensive for the food but the smoothies were good, guess I should of seen that one coming since that is their name. We then went to see 'How to Train Your Dragon' in 3D. It was an alright movie, not the best movie, I probably wont buy it. We then went to our separate rooms and went to bed.

Saturday I woke up at 11:30 and chilled around the room. Cleaned up a little, uploaded photos, did some homework, and washed clothes. I met Kristen about 5ish and we went to Los Arcos where her fellow RAs came and they took a photo of us eating! As Kristen put it, it felt like they were paparazzi and the photo looks like they should be with the paparazzi. It was pretty funny to me. We then went to see 'Alice in Wonderland' in 3D. CRAZY MOVIE!!!!!!! We then came back to my room and looked at photos and stuff, watched the Mighty Ducks....when we could hear it....

Sunday I went to church with BJ and ended up playing piano for the morning service, I haven't played a whole service in a while and I realized how much I missed it. We then went to Foosackley's for lunch with Kristen. I think I'm beinning to like that place....only because of the ranch though lol. Us three then went to Hollywood video to look at what they had left because movies went down to 99 cents!!! Kristen and BJ both got 18 movies, I only got 2. I got 'Marley and Me' and '12 Rounds.' Sad I know. BJ and me then went back to church where I played the whole service again. We are ending the night looking at photos from our long friendship, there are some good memories.

Well thats my weekend, I'm ready for the week now! Until next time, hopefully wont be a month before I write again lol.

Guatemala

GUATEMALA!

A country in mid-america between Mexico and Honduras and El Salvador. A poor country but a country that needs Jesus.

This spring break I will be going with 10 other friends from South, with the BCM, to Guatemala on a mission trip. We are going to be mainly working with kids and doing the following:

- Building little huts
- VBS
- Sports camp for 750 kids
- Handing out food bags

We are very excited and I assure you that because last year over 2,500 photos were taken from about 9 people last year who went! thats a lot of photos! lol.

We will be leaving at 3:20 PM from Mobile to drive to Atlanta and catch a 6 AM flight to Miami with an hour overlay and then fly to Guatemala! busy day Saturday but it will be fun.

Please keep us in your prayers as we travel and do His work in Guatemala!

(I will post an entry about the trip when we get back!)

Valentine's Weekend

This past weekend was great!!

Friday - It SNOWED in Mobile and in Charleston and classes were cancelled (mostly). Kristen, BJ, Morgan, and me played in the ice/snow for a while but it didnt stick to the ground here in Mobile. We started to paint with Shannon and at lunch she let us go and we went to Millry (bj's house), which got around 4 inches of snow and we played, had a snow ball fight, and built two snowmen in the snow. We then enjoyed some taco soup and some chocolate cream cheese cake! YUM! We then headed back and watched most of 'Julie and Julia.'

Saturday - I chilled around the room and worked on SeCAPS stuff and then went to work at the game with Melissa. I then went over to bj's place and played some lego batman which to my surprise, is pretty fun!

Sunday - Valentine's day! Went to church and then went to walmart to get some last minute stuff. Bad mistake, walmart was crazy! I made it out alive and went back to the room and starting getting ready for that night. I baked a funfetti cake and got some sandwhich stuff together. Kristen was supposed to work but ended up not working so she came over and we ate dinner and watched Mrs. Doubtfire. HILARIOUS movie! We exchanged gifts, which she got me 'night at the museum 2' and a tornado chasing book with some pretty cool photos! We ended the evening playing some wii sports.

Overall, very good weekend!

Addicted

For Christmas I got a Wii and since then I can't stop thinking about Mario and the world of Mario, from goombas, to bullet bill, and to dry bones. I believe Mario is the best video game character ever created as the games never get old. They come with new ideas and make old ideas even better with each new console!

Right now the game I keep thinking about is the "New Super Mario Brothers. Wii", a remake of the old super mario brothers from the super nintendo. Kristen, BJ, Braden, Morgan, and me have all had a part in beating it and we are so close! We beat bowser but Peach told mario at the end 'oh mario! did i tell you about the secret world?' WHAT!? After going through 8 worlds and beating bowser, there is still more to do!? Well each level in each world has 3 star coins and you have to get all them to open 8 new levels in world 9! We have all of the coins in worlds 1-6 and a majority of the coins in worlds 7 & 8. We are so close yet so far!

I'm looking at expanding my mario game collection as I only have two thus far (Super Mario Bros., and Super Smash Brothers). Here is a list of the Mario games I have played:
- Mario Kart Wii
- Mario & Sonic @ the Winter Olympic Games
- Mario Party (not on the wii though but its pretty much the same)

So not sure which one I will buy next....

However, here are some of my favorite Mario characters:

Mario - Of course! I will choose him before any other characters

In case you didn't know, I'm addicted to Mario!

Yoshi - He is a little green dinosaur that is very cool!


Lakitu - Usually a bad guy but he can be good too. He has several roles in varios games


Dry Bones - You must be cool to have a name like 'dry bones'


Koopalings - I didn't know who they were until super mario brothers. They are bowser's kids. They have provided a lot of laughter during play with their 'talking'


man, I love mario!
