| i hear all kinds of comments about never getting on and updating and what not so here i am ready to update.
i realize that i am quite retarded sometimes...i believe that i can injure myself way worse than most people could to to me. i am just very clumsy and i really just dont pay any attention in general. this will all make sense momentarily.
this morning i actually woke up on time and took just the right amount of time to get ready, all to make it to sunday school on time two sundays in a row!! i am almost ready to walk downstairs when i somehow give myself whip lash causing a loud crack/pop sound in my neck. now this was probably the worst pain i have felt in my life or at least in a very very long time. i was freaking out because my head was stuck cocked to the left, i couldnt look to the right or bend it to the right. it was bad all over and on top of this my family decided to go to early church today and leave me all alone at home in my time of need. perfect! i was flipping out from pain and shock. so nevertheless i did not make it to church cause i did not see it wise to drive or sit through the service with my head leaning to the side. it just would have been awkward, very awkward. so now i am laying in my bed with a hot bag of corn on my neck and i really havent moved much in the last 2 hours. i feel pathetic. and the worst part is i have no idea how i accomplished this state. im just retarded i guess.
on a happier note i passed botany with a B while bombing the final which i thought i did exceptionally well on but oh well. and i did get some bonus in chemistry but i couldnt look at my final grade yet. and all my other classes are a's so hoorah!!
but my neck better be well for lake day tomorrow because ive been waiting to go to the lake since like november.
peace out guys, i guess ill go to sleep....or something oh and i will try to update more for yall :)

| well school is crazy of course...i just finished up two tests and i still have one test, a speech, and a lab book due at the beginning of the week. most of the time i really like school...i know that is kinda weird to say but i enjoy my major and i like to learn. but as of late school has not been so much fun. first off in zoology we are working our way up the chain of life and right now we are on worms. i am not a huge fan of worms, well i really hate worms. they are gross and slimy and awkward...i dont know im just not a fan to say the least. but we have been talking about them for the past week and looking at slide after slide of worms. its gross and i try not to look at the screen most of the time. oh and they are not regular worms they are the kind that infest and live in your body, so not only do we get to look at worms for an hour we get to look at were they live in the body, how they get in, what they do while they are in there, and finally how they get out (or let let eggs out). so i am sick of zoology for the time being, i am ready to move on to something better that does not infect humans or other animals. we finally finished up the microscopic things and took that test today. some of these worms are microscopic but somehow they fit in a different category. and in chemistry its really boring right now so i just want to read but then she likes to call on people so i figure i should pay attention so i can possibly answer the question. and i hate speech... really hate speech. the class is just so boring and we have no time to prepare for a speech and i talk way too fast when i am nervous so i need to slow down or i will not make an a on my speech tuesday.
in other news my car is retarded. it has an alarm but it is very temperamental. it pretty much goes off when it feels like it. there can be nothing around it and it will just go off. it goes off if the thunder is too loud or a big truck cranks up next to it or if a bird nest falls on it or if it just hasnt gone off in a while. so yesterday i was sitting in my room studying for my zoology test and i hear my car alarm going off. i had to leave it out of the garage because sonya parked crooked in the garage so my car would not fit. as i am walking downstairs sonya is walking inside to get me car keys and i ask what did you do to my car and she responds i didnt mean to....i was just joking when i asked that but she backed into my car. it didnt really hurt either vehicle (especially hers, it being a suburban) it just scratched them. i found it to be pretty hilarious just cause she hit my car. she was kinda freaking out but i was like its ok its just a car and i have hit numerous thing with it. another scratch wont hurt.
i have been taking art classes on fridays with home schooled children...that sounds really random but emily teaches them to the home schoolers that take dance but this year i decided to do it as well. let me just say that it is very challenging for me to keep my sarcasm to a minimum why i am there. these kids just say some of the weirdest things and i cant help but laugh or comment back, but i know i shouldnt so i have been playing music to keep me occupied and possibly drown out what the kids are saying. today i played chicago cause emily said the 13 going on 30 soundtrack was too hardcore....beats me how she came to that conclusion but whatever chicago was good. one of the girls doesnt seem to like me very much. last week lizzy (who sits at my table) was gone so emily asked baylee to sit with me (baylee is 11ish) and she declined leaving me to sit all by myself (which was ok by me) but this week i of course made some sarcastic comment and she turned around and gave me this awful look, like shut up retard. i was greatly offended. she doesnt even know me. well maybe she does a little bit but still.
at work this week i did a lot of people watching on the moms and dads. some of the stuff you find out is very interesting. on wednesdays all those mothers have a mouth on them. i was just sitting there thinking do you not care if your child hears you??? but i guess they say it all at home but whatever. and then there were a couple of moms talking about alcohol and wine. they all said they hide it from their children so they dont know they drink. i think this is completely absurd. i think that when those kids actually do figure it out they are going to question their parents on bigger issues...i know i would. so many life lessons on how not to raise my children.
oh and today i got a friend request from a megan french in kansas....so weird i think she just looked up anyone with her name and asked to be their friend. so awkward (people)
well im really hungry so i think i will go figure out what i should have for dinner tonight...so have splendid time until i write again. peace.

| i know im really bad at this whole blogging thing but i will try to do better this semester. school has been really crazy this week, just getting into the swing of things. my classes are going to be pretty hard but i know a bunch of people is my classes so that is always a plus. and i figured that is enough talk about school for now, at least.
and since i dont think i wrote anything all summer i figured i would just share some interesting tidbts from my summer that you may or may not know.
well first off i had summer school in june. it was boring and long but it went really well. i got those classes out of the way and im glad i did it. while i was there i questioned myself for going to school in the summer but i think it was worth it. i may even do it again in the future, possibly.
and i got to work with some doctors this summer. that was really cool. i worked with a general surgeon, a cardiologist, and an internal medicine doc. the general surgeon was my favorite just cause i got to see a lot of really cool things like feeding tubes being pulled out of someone's stomach, abscesses being removed and drained, and basic surgery that can be done in the office. but with the cardiologist i got to go on rounds at the hospital and go in the cath lab and look at xrays. i think i really like hospital work over office work. i think it would be really cool to work in the er maybe not forever but for a time. happily and sadly the er was never really busy the week was there. it would have been really cool to see the chaos but im glad i wasnt in the middle of it. we did have one guy go into a vib while in the cath lab an everyone was running around shocking him and trying to get his heart rate back up and i just sat there. one of the nurses was like you need to be ready to jump in and help but i said i had no idea what was going on i would have just been in the way. but it was really cool.
i went to the lake this summer with my family. since my family all work in the same office they had to go in shifts. kelli and i went up with my aunt and uncle and their three kids and half way through my grents and daniel came up and my aunt and uncle left. kelli and i were on babysitting duty one night so we took the kids to crackle barrrel and a lady told me i should be a school teacher cause i handled the kids really well. and if you know me you would never suggest that to me. i am not always a big fan of kids and i would probably kill a kid if them everyday in class. and then the same lady went on to think that kelli was morgan's mother. she said they looked good together or something. clearly this lady had no idea what she was talking about. i also got the worst sunburn i think i have ever had. i could not move around when we went to bed, i had to lay perfectly still so not to scratch any sunburned areas. but we had a lot of fun ridding big mable and wakeboarding and kneeboarding. i love the lake!
and the most recent news. it was my last big blowout for the summer. i always wanted to go on a truck trip with my gpa. he owns a trucking company and sometimes he has to pick up or drop off trucks and one of these trips just happen to be this past weekend. he had to deliver a truck to a buyer in new cambria, pennsylvania. let me just say that new cambria is over 1200 miles away. that is a freakin long way to travel in a truck. we left on friday afternoon and drove until twoish and stayed in a hotel and then finish our journey at 9:30 saturday night. and new cambria is a neighborhood town. it almost seems like ruston. two lane roads all through it, not really the ideal place to run trucking company but none the less it was there, at the bottom of a six mile hill. we stayed for about an hour and then proceded to drive straight back to good ole shreveport no stopping for the night we drove back in shifts, two people awake while the other one asleep. and it always seems to work out that i get the night shift and have to sleep during the day but i was so tired i couldnt tell. i drank a lot of coffee to keep me awake in the wee hours of the morning and i dont really like coffee. so in conclusion the trucking lifestyle is not for me.
well that was basically my summer in a nut shell. it has been kinda long so sorry guys but i will try to write more of what is on my mind.
and if anyone want to go for a ride in an 18 wheeler just let me know i can hook that up for you...and it doesnt have to be a trip to PA it can just be around the block
peace

| well it has been a while since i decided to update and various people have asked me to, so here i am. school started a little over a week ago, which kind of stinks but its ok. i figure it is one of those life experiences that you must go through before knowing not to do it again, well only if it is absolutely necessary. i guess it is not that bad because it is definitely keeping me busy in the afternoons and then i can do something way more fun in the evenings. but lately i have been having those days where all i want to do is be outside. its like im five again and i want to go the park. i am trying to convince my dad to buy a hammock for the back yard but he seems to be very against it. i then tried to see if i could get one for my room and he said sure as long as i got rid of me bed. and i am very attached to my bed. i like to read and study and especially sleep in my bed so i dont think i could part with it. so now i am considering one of those hammock chairs but i will have to see how that plays out.
on another note i have decided that i love the lake. im not a big fan of the ocean and a pool is ok sometimes but i really enjoy the lake. we went out the other day to participate in various water sports, i.e. wake boarding, knee boarding, and skiing, and it was loads of fun. it was just me and my grandparents having fun. my grandpa even got out on the wake board and had the most amazing fall ever!! it was classic and completely mine and my grandma fault. she was driving the boat and i was relaying his signals and i misinterpreted one which may have caused the amazing fall. also i hadnt knee boarded in probably two years and i forgot how much fun it is. it is really easy to just jump across the wake and it is super easy to get up (well in my opinion, older people may say that skis are much easier, i just dont enjoy skiing that much, it was for the last generation, these others are for the next generation) so i have decided that i am going to go the lake as much as possible this summer and possibly into the fall. i even want to take a trip up to lake ouachita, if we can get enough people to go. so if you want to go out on the lake for tubing or other activities let me know, i hope to go again soon!
well farewell all i must go eat dinner, sonya has been cooking a lot lately and i am loving it!!

| so i dont want to be a wuss and complain about my pain, but i think i must, just this once... so yesterday i went out to the lake to try to learn how to wakeboard. i have heard that it is really hard and it takes a lot of strength and dedication. well let me just say that calling it hard is an understatement... extremely difficult barely encompasses the feeling of trying to wakeboard. i cannot even count the number of times i tried to get up on the board...i successfully got up probably three times...all lasting about five seconds before i fell right back into the water. it was loads of fun yesterday, but today i am in all kinds of pain...it pretty much hurts all over...i have all kinds of ab muscles and back muscles now...i really cant bend over to pick anything up so i feel very helpless right now...but the pain i can deal with...its always like this when you try to learn a new water sport...but im sad cause lake day is tomorrow and i know tubing is going to be kinda painful now that i am already sore...every summer i am really sore after the first outing but i know it gets better...i just think we will be at the lake for a least a week doing the same thing everyday so i better build up my stamina to last that week...i dont if i will make it, im getting kinda old....so hopefully i will be able to feel my back again and i think i will just push the pain tomorrow on the lake...no pain no gain seems to be the way to go at this point...now i must get ready for work so have a splendid day!!
and last night i saw the most amazing movie: surf ninjas, it was life changing
