Well I don't know how appropriate the title is since it just got done storming like a mutha and it's about 60 some degrees, lol. BUT we did get a sweet rainbow. I tried to take pictures of it with my phone... check out my FB for the pics =) I'm sure most of ya'll that read my blog have me on FB, lol. (p.s. does anyone know how to post pictures on here?!)
So, funny story. The other day my friend Bobbi sent me a picture of my grandparents riding their bikes and I literally laughed out loud because of their safety vests and blinking lights that they wear. No matter how many times I see it, I still can't help but giggle. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they're being safe but it is unusual to see people wear such attire. =P
Only two more weeks until summer classes start up. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm glad I got somewhat of a break from school but I guess I'm one of those weirdos that's not complete unless I'm busy, busy, busy! I ordered our books today and we still have to get the DVDs for World Geo at the bookstore. The cool thing about that is that they're $30 and at the end of the summer if you return them you get $25 dollars back. Can't beat that. And not to mention I got our books off of Amazon for super cheap!
This summer Drew and I have his and my family reunions to attend. I'm pretty excited for them! His is in Wichita so it's nice that we won't have to travel so far and it's July 4th weekend... fun times! Mine is at the beginning of August and we're going to Grand Lakes, Colorado, a little resort town up in the mountains 90 miles from Denver. The drive will be long but it will be totally worth it to be in such a scenic place with a lot of kick ass outdoor stuff to do!
So today was Drew's last day working at Paul Wertenberger Construction. He's been working there for over two years now. He starts his new job tomorrow. He will be working in a shop AND in the office doing drafting, so this is an amazing opportunity for him to get experience and get his foot in the door. I am kinda sad that he is leaving PW though... they're like a family! But nonetheless, I am sooo proud of my babe and all the things he has accomplished and will accomplish!
I hope everyone is having a good start to the summer. Lovelovelove!

And they're off!
So school is out now... how about that?! I ended up really good... three A's and two B's. However, I'm fairly displeased that my teachers didn't bump me up to A's since I had an 89 in both of those classes AND worked my ass off... grrrrr. >.< But hey... a 3.5 this semester is pretty dang good! I've been trying to pull myself out of the hole I dug for myself in previous years of school. I just partied WAY too much and was so depressed I just had no energy for school, not to mention didn't know what I wanted to do. BUT this year has been amazing.
So this summer I don't have anything too wild planned... Drew and I are taking two online summer classes together that start on June 7th so we have a little bit of a break. And then I'm taking a geology field trip for one credit hour in June, whoo hoo! It's weird to think that I'm a junior now. What craziness. I should be able to get my school done in three semesters and then in the fourth one do an internship. Time really flies as you get older, never doubt that for a second. (Oh yes, and don't forget our family reunions this summer too.)
I was just reminiscing the other day about Drew and me... about this time last year is when we started hanging out =) I feel like I've known him forever because we are sooo close but I also feel like it was just yesterday when we were going on our first date! Hehe. July 7th is our one year anniversary and that date is coming up fast!
Work is going well. Our DM came today. I thought she was coming to watch me but she really didn't. I did have an amazing 10-12 segment however! =) I'm really liking my CSL position. It feels good to move up and have more responsibility and have the chance to make a positive impact on the brand!
I must be going now. I need to run to the post office and what not. I will try to blog more... I know it has been almost two weeks since my last post! Toodles!

Keep it fresh
I wish I had more time to blog! I'm like a crazy chicken running around with my head cut off... or so it feels like it! So for all my devoted fans out there (bahaha) I am sorry that I haven't had much time. Let me recap these past two weeks or so.
Today happened to be the first night I closed by myself with miss Larissa. I was kinda nervous and hectic in my brain because I wanted to make sure everything went swimmingly... which I'm pretty sure it did! If you read my last blog it mentioned me getting promoted. The last two weeks I spent a lot of time at work training, but it definitely paid off! Literally... hehe.
School is coming to an end and yes, most of my teachers are being evil. I took my stats lab final today and I think I did quite well. Lab grade is added to the class grade so it should bring my overall up, as long as I don't bomb the class final, haha. I have a 91% in psych stats... pretty proud of myself! Tomorrow is my last test in international relations. Thank god. We already did our 'final' which was a seven page paper. And she is STILL making us come to class on Thursday and Tuesday. Grrr, that does not make me happy. Hopefully I get a good grade on tomorrow's test and my final paper because I think I have something like an 89.9 in there.
Hmmmm.... our portolios for advanced general psychology are due on Thursday. I finished my resume today but I still need to do my cover letter for it and my personal statement for grad. school. Wednesday is our biology lab final... it's about 50 multiple choice questions over the entire semester of lab so hopefully I do good in it! I shouldddddd have all A's this semester out of my four class and two labs.
So that only means that next week is finals week! Whoo hoo! I believe my last final is on Thursday. I'm so excited because my uncle and Raef are coming back for about four days! =) Soooo jacked. They are coming back for Ellen's graduation. I cannot believe my sister is graduating already. Crazy stuff! I guess I always feel so much older than her when I'm really not, haha. I'm so proud of the woman she is becoming and how far she has come in life and improving on her attitude. I KNOW she is going to kick college's ass!
Hope I didn't bore everyone too much with my academia shtuff. Have a good night, all!
