I know its been forever since I have posted on here but everytime I sit down to write it seems like I just get side tracted! So easy for me to do, unfortunately! ha So I guess I should start from when I posted last time. Valentine's Day at the farm show was actually a lot of fun! We met Mitch down there too since it is close to him. It was nice seeing him and meeting some of his friends. That night we went to the tractor pull! This was not my first tractor pull, however it was the first tractor pull that I actually stayed for more than 30 minutes at. (It was a little more exciting than the Daviess Co. Fair tractor pulls!) Last week was pretty uneventful. I had a couple tests but that was about it! This past weekend I went home, surprise surprise ha. Saturday I had breakfast with my daddy which was extremely good :) That night we all went to Harb's house to visit because Brittany was home. Our group of friends has always gotten along really well and its nice to get us all together a lot. Sunday I went to church and then Matt, Mom, and I went to Mi Pueblo, keeping up our little tradition that we started. It was the second time that weekend I ate there but I definately wasn't complaining! Today they were in town so we went to lunch again then I had to give a speech in one of my classes. Writing the speech was a breeze (it was a maid of honor speech for Jessica's wedding) but giving it was a completely different story! Thankfully I didn't pass out or anything like that! ha Thats about all I have for know! Here are some pictures from this weekend:

Busy!

So I know it has been awhile but I have been super busy it seems like lately! Last week was the worst. I had an Anatomy Exam on Friday and then an Anatomy Lab Exam this past Tuesday, so most of my time has been devoted to studying for that most of the time! I also had another exam on Thursday so I had to make time to study for that as well!! Last Wednesday was one of my most hectic days. I had a speech due in my public speaking class, I then go straight to the YMCA after that to volunteer with the gymnastics class, then I come back right in time to make it to my sociology class! Then that particular Wednesday I was asked to babysit Jan's (works with my mom) grand daughters. There were two of them and they are probably the sweetest girls ever. They went to be at a decent time so I snuck in a little studying there too! (It seems like thats all I do!) The weekend was a nice little break. I stayed at IU Friday night because we had a review session for Anatomy Saturday morning. Some of Hanna's friends from home came and we went to eat at Texas Roadhouse and then went and saw He's Just Not That Into You. Great movie by the way! Saturday night was homecoming back home so of course I went to that :) This week has been pretty blah so far, not real eventful! ha I had my Anatomy lab exam on Tuesday so I spent most of Monday and Tuesday studying for that. Oh and last night this illusionist came to the IU auditorium. Brock Gill. He was Amazing!! Hanna and I went and we were SO glad we did. He did a lot of different stunts, he even caught a bullet in his mouth!! Youtube him, I'm sure he's on there! ha

Today I am just doing some house (dorm) cleaning and laundry :( oh and of course studying!! haha I am once again ready for the weekend! This Saturday I am going to Louisville to the farm show!! ha not exactly how I thought I'd spend Valentines Day but I am sure it will be fun!

I also decided to spruce up my blog. It was time for a change! hope you like!

Here are some pictures from this weekend!

SNOW!!

Last night Hanna and I decided to make one of our usual ice cream runs! (We make them a lot! haha) So we made our way to the food court which is in our building but we still have to go outside to get to it. When we walked outside we realized they weren't kidding about all the snow!! It was coming down in BIG flakes :) I was so excited! I hadn't gotten to play in the snow all winter so this was perfect! It was nine o'clock and I had an 8 am but the teacher usually cancels the class if its bad weather, so I was banking on that!! (And I was right! 2 out of 3 of my classes got canceled today :) So we called Derrick and told him to put on warm clothes because we were going to play in the snow! Hanna and I got ready..I had 4 layers of clothes on!! Then we headed over to Teter. When we go over there of course Derrick wasn't ready! I was sweating by this time and ready to go! So Derrick told us to go ahead and he'd be out in a minute. Well we didn't want to go by ourselves so Park said he would come with, then a few more thought it looked fun! So we went out and made snow angels and attempted to make snow balls! (It wasn't sticking!) Pretty soon the entire floor was out side playing! Someone even said we were on IUTV! We played football and then just goofed around! I guess everyone thought Hanna and I were easy targets because we spent more time on the ground then standing!! We are both a little sore today!! It was a lot of fun and I really am going to miss a lot of them next year. It didn't really hit me and Hanna until last night that we have made really good friends with all of them and next year won't be the same without them! We spend a lot of time over at Teter for Monday night football or catchphrase nights or just to hang out. Here are a few pictures from last night!!

Park, Keaton, Sam, Hanna, Me and Ben: Ben taking me out!:
This pretty much sums up the night! haha:

"Its amazing how much bending the human body can take without actually breaking!"-Hanna haha Tallal and Keaton beating me up! I have no idea what I would do without them!! Ben, Derrick, Hanna, and Me

Honesty..

I have just been thinking a lot lately about many different things so this first part is just me rambling on on about what is going on in my mind at this moment...I'm sorry if its kind of here and there but I am just typing whatever comes to mind, something that I usually refrain from doing.

Well today has been a pretty good day! As I'm walking to class things often pop into my mind that I could write on here about! (Sad I know haha) I've been thinking a lot just about life in general. I am a firm believer in the fact that everything happens for a reason. All the things I have been through, good or bad, happen for a reason. When I think I am going through something tough I just think that some people have it way worse. Ya, my first couple weeks here at IU were miserable pretty much, as I have said before. But some people don't even have this chance. Something that kept me going through that time was just the fact that I did not want to dissappoint anyone. One of my biggest fears in life is failure. When I don't want to study or wake up for those 8 am classes I just think that in the long run I will be happy I did. I don't want to have to depend on anyone. Of course I want to get married and have a family, don't get me wrong. But I want to be able to provide for myself if something would happen..I guess I think about that a lot. The future scares me. I know exactly what I want to do: 3 more years at IU for athletic training after this year and then 3 more years after that at Physical Therapy school...But I am also full of doubts..What if I don't make it into the Athletic Training program, or what if I don't get into PT school after 4 years of planning my life for that..where am I going to live those 6 more years? Will I still have the friends I have now? Will I meet someone?......But then I think Oh my gosh I am a freshman! Why am I worrying about this?! haha I know that my amazing family and fabulous friends will always be there for me no matter what.

Ok thats enough of that..like I said today has been a good day so I'll just let you know a little about it!
This morning I woke up bright and early for my 8 am. Lifespan Development. I don't really know what I was expecting for that class, but I can honestly say that I'm definately not at good ol' North Daviess anymore! Wow! The teacher is ummm, very honest. He's not afraid to talk about anything! Which in a way is a good thing because its entertaining and keeps us awake in those early hours of the morning haha I went over to the mall for just a little bit after that mostly just to get out of the room. Then it was time for my gymnastics class, which I love love LOVE! ha It is a required class for PE majors so it based mainly on the teaching aspect but it is still so much fun. We get to spot each other so we still get to do some skills. The teacher is really nice and allows to have fun and goof around but also get stuff done. Everyone in the class is really nice and everyone gets along. Also 75% of our grade is based on us volunteering at the local YMCA with the gymnastics classes and I am so excited!!
Well that is enough for today i believe!!

CHRISTMAS BREAK

WOW, so i know it has been a little bit since I have written on here, but it was break so thats my excuse! Break was GREAT! Thats about the only way I can describe it! I loved just being home. I would love to tell you all of what I did over break, but that would take way too long to type! I spent a lot of time with friends. Some of us may have changed a little bit since we have been together but when you get us all together its the same as usual! I had so much fun with all of them. Christmas was amazing! I love holidays and Christmas is no different! I love spending time with my family..I love them all so much and I know I say that all the time, but I just can't say it enough! Like I said break was great and that made it just that much more tough to come back to school. I was excited for all of my classes, but of course just being here makes me miss my family..but don't worry I'm not even considering transferring!! haha
So I guess I'll tell you a little bit about my day so far! 6:30 am came WAY too early this morning! I have an 8 o'clock class everyday (minus Friday!! My teacher today told us that he didn't feel the need to have class at 8 am on Friday and of course the class all agreed!!) I have a full load this semester, 19 credit hours!! Fun fun, right?! I have a break now for a bit, heres a list of my classes:
*Anatomy-Its required for my major and will be tough, but I am excited about it anyway! That kind of stuff interests me
*Intro to Athletic Training: Also required and I am WAY excited about! We get to shadow an older Athletic Training Student...the only down side is that the class is all the way at Asembly Hall, where they play the basketball games, which is cool-but it is quiet a haul from my door...I'll believe i'll drive from now on to that one! haha
*Theories in Advanced Conditioning- This one shouldn't be bad and the teacher seems nice!
*Life Span Development
*Sociology
*Public Speaking
*and a Stunt/Jump/Tumbling Class: I haven't been to this one yet but I hope its fun and not just a lecture!! haha

Well thats about it! I'm sorry I don't have any pictures from break, but it would be way too hard to decide which ones to post!! I hope everyone had a wonderful break! Ill update soon! Love you all!!

Break can not get here fast enough!

I think the title about sums it up, I CAN NOT wait for break!!! This week is finals week so that means study study study! All I had to do today was turn in a paper, so the rest of the day is devoted to studying...not to say that I don't get distracted obviously because I have found time to write on here! haha

This weekend was great! Both of my classes were canceled on Friday so I came home Thursday night. Jessica and I watched Max all day Friday. It was so much fun! That night I went to the North Central game with the whole family! Then I went back to Jessica' s for the night to get ready for her party the next day. I really just had a very relaxing weekend-which was great right before finals!Today is Hanna's birthday so tonight we are going out to dinner :) This is rather short but I guess I better get back to studying!

I had to add at least one picture from this weekend! Me and Max had a little photo shoot while we were waiting on Jessica to get ready!

It's been awhile!

Wow, so it seems like ages since I have written on here!! This is my last full week of my first semester!! It so weird to think about...only 6 and half more years!! haha It has actually gone by really fast! I'm sure I won't have that same optimistic attitude a year from now! But let's hope I do!! I can not wait for a break with NO homework! I am also really ready for next semesters classes. For those of you who know me really well know I get bored with things easily..and let's just say I am REALLY bored with these classes! haha Next semester I have more classes focused on my major and I am really excited! Like I said this is my last week of full classes, then its FINALS! I have already taken one final and I ended up with an A in the class :) It was first aid so it was pretty easy but still!
This past weekend was Farly Christmas! I told people here at school that I had Christmas thing this weekend and they were like "Already?!" haha It was fun, of course. I love family things!! We had a big dinner and then Santa came!! The kids loved him, well everyone but Max. But he was still a pretty big fan of his gift!

Here are just a couple pics from this weekend:

Oh and I almost forgot! I can now add "chef " to my list of abilities! haha Last week was Tallal and Keaton's (Some of the guys we hang out with) birthdays. So Hanna and I made them a cake! Everyone said it was really good, and I haven't heard of anyone becoming deathly ill so far!! Me and the Birthday Boys! Keaton and Tallal, who was not quite ready!!
