Mom has put in an ad for roommates during the school year and so far two girls have already answered. This means I will be busy the next few weeks in moving all my stuff out of my bedroom and maybe find a storage room. I plan on taking some of my furniture to school with me so I can keep it near. I'd rather do that than have someone else use my stuff. It's not that I don't trust them, but it is less worry for either of us.

I finally went to the doctor yesterday and got medicine. Now I feel perectly fine today. A little sniffly at times but no sore throat anymore. CrAzY!

I have a Church dinner to help organize tonight. I plan on brining a book and maybe a sweat shirt to be comfy. I think I'll be gone all day. =P It should be fun though, a few other family members are going so I can sit and chat.

Congratulations are in order for Aspen! She got accepted into the teaching program overseas and will be headed to New Zealand next fall. Only a year away! She's going to have an exciting time Spring 2004, she is going to graduate, move back to Texas, and go on with her teaching! Very excited for her. =)

I still can't believe what we two have been achieving these days. I believe if either of us put our mind to it, we can get to our goals. I did find out my classroom I'll be teaching in is full. That means I have all 25 spots filled up! =D I'm beyond excited. Also, the time is coming for me to get ready to move back into my dorm room. I can't wait to go in and make my own personal space. I always loved that part. I just hope to make it inviting so that the residents on my floor will come in and talk to me when they feel like it. I still can't believe I got that RA position - I'm so pumped! I can't figure out which I'm more excited about - Both seem to be around the same calibur of experience that I've been hoping for. =D

Shana and I get to go looking for Wedding Cakes tomorrow. She was going to just get Walmart's - but I feel we should look other places to give the bakery's a fair chance. I'm willing to bet the cake would taste better. :P

More movies, state park, strawberries, and weddings

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was a good movie. It was - interesting. I don't know what I was expecting - I was more curious about what all the people with such abilities would do together.

I guess after seeing Depp and Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Carribbean I have been impressed for life.

We live only a little ways from the state park on the beach and I have found that riding my bike there is actually quite exhilerating - there are so many hills! I'm going to try and go everyday - maybe after Columbo ;-) hehehe

I was woken up by my mom early yesterday morning to go pick strawberries. I retorted with "I've had that experience before" - since she is always saying I "need to experience things". Of course, her reply was "every experience is different". Oh, what a line! I guess this time was different since it rained the whole time, I got soaked and cold and was fighting off mosquitos constantly. I got 2 buckets full and now what do we do with 'em? Freeze 'em I suppose. I'm leaving that up to her. heh

Someone else got married this last weekend in my family. It was a huge Catholic Church - beautiful and extravagant. The reception was a lot to behold also. I hadn't been to such a sophisticated wedding before and I was very impressed. I heard a few stories about my Dad from my uncle that night at the reception. It was pretty darn funny. My dad always had kinky black hair and he would grow it out into an afro. My uncle said he would keep a cigarette inside the hair unknown to others - except when he would suddenly stick his fingers into the side and pull one out. LOL! My memories of dad are always clean shaven and army short hair - balding on top. Ah well - at least I can hear the stories.

Pirates, friends, and writing - oh my!

I personally loved this movie - I will be going to see it in the theatre again this Sunday and will definitely be buying the DVD as soon as possible. Alas I hate to give spoilers - I just have to say I was happy with all 2 and a half hours - just don't buy too much to drink.

Friends - We watched Jeremy go into the airport terminal and I had to say goodbye again for another year or so. Sure, I could always look for him on EQ - but if I did that... it's too easy to get sucked back in.

Writing - I think I found my solution to the problem I've been having with my story. I was always pushing myself to go into the fantastical - but I believe I will keep it out. I'm too much of a critic of my own writing sometimes and if I have something Hokey or something already used in another book - I will keep rethinking the part until I find a different way.

Summertime!

Jeremy made it to MN, and we've been goofing of since.

As the Nerds-in-training that we are, we tried to play Risk. Aspen got mad at me because I was rolling the dice over her countries and then I basically started going on an invading crusade and ended up getting wiped off the board by Jeremy. Hehehe, that was fun. I'd like to try it again, but the game lasts a little too long for me - Maybe there's a smaller version somewhere out there.

I think were off to go see T3 - hoping it may actually be good. Jeremy showed me some hilarious clips about cats found on www.ebaumsworld - I'll find the actual site sometime and post it for ya.

Have a great weekend everyone and Happy Fourth of July!!!
