So the long one did post. If you're really procrastinating, you can read both, but the short one is about as good. Cheers! And its snowing cats and dogs here!

so this one time...

I wrote a long blog describing my spring break. But it wouldn't post. So, the abridged version--

Spring break was great!!!! I had a great time in Texas and its a definite possiblity for grad school. But no decision has been made yet. Thank you to my Sister and Twin for putting me up and putting up with me! I had such a good time hanging out and skiing. I cannot wait for my date to the Canyon Grill next time I'm in the area :) I had a great time with Halleh too...you're such a crazy girl! And I think that was my favorite St. Pattys day! And I got to see my Aunt who is working in Denver, which was nice since I only get to see her once a year anyway. Lucky me! I get to see her twice this year!! I was totally exhausted by the time I got back to KC, but it was all worth it! The time I spent in KC was a lot of fun and I got to see all of my granparents and hang out with my mom, dad, and big sister. And I got to shop somewhere besides Wal-Mart. All-in-all, great spring break!

I'm definitely not in the mood to study. The week off has thrown me off and I don't want to get back into it. But alas, I must study. Thank you again to all of you who made my spring break amazing! I love you all!

thank you to all

who made my spring break amazing! I had such a good time....I'm very tired, but it was well worth it!

Starting break a day early, I went to Texas for my college visit. I really liked the school and it was nice that it was so warm. I haven't decided anything yet, but its a definite possibility. The flights to Houston and College station were possibly the worst 2 flights I've been on in my life. But at least they got better as the week progressed. I learned how to pack more efficiently! I only took a carry-on. The planes were too small and it wouldn't fit in the overhead bin, so I gate checked them and I've decided that I like that better anyway. The return flight was uneventful...thankfully!

I spent Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday at home. I saw all of my grandparents, went to lunch with my big sister (which I ended up paying for because she didn't have any cash), ate with my parents, shopped, etc.

Wednesday morning, my aunt drove me to the airport and I landed in Colorado at 11:30ish. A different aunt picked me up and we went to see Red Rock Ampitheater and the Sister Cabrini chapel. They were both beautiful! Then we headed to FoCo and ate lunch at this little Italian joint, which was very tasty. We had a good time talking and hanging out! I wish I could see her more often. She dropped me off at my sister's and twin's place and I got to hang out with Jenny for a bit! Linds, Jenny and I went to a pub place and ate appetizers and drank beer. Thursday, I ran errands with Linds, and then we went to New Belguim! and I found Sponge Bob first (thanks linds!!) and we tasted beer. We even got the new beer which isn't out yet...yay for being girls :) Then we went for a little drive...through the foot hills in buck horn. We found lots of cool houses up in the hills and places that it seemed dangerous to get to the house. We also found a place where we're going to eat when I come back, named the Canyon Grill. Jenny, LInds, and I drove to Denver to pick Halleh up from the airport and then went out. Friday morning started very early!! We left the apartment so early!! But it was definitely worth it! Keystone was so much fun and the weather was beautiful when we got there. And the cheap lift tickets were very nice (thanks, Bill) I only fell once, although there were many more close calls. When we got back to FoCo, we went out for St. Patty's day and I drank lots of Killians! I had a great time!!! Yay for a holiday that encourages drinking! Saturday morning was very early again because I had to fly out of Denver. All-in-all, a very busy, full 3.5 days and a great time. Thanks Twin and Sister for taking me out and hanging out!!!!

The rest of Sat, I took a nap and did laundry. On Sunday, I headed out early and ate lunch with my lil sister, bro, dad and Debbie in Columbia and then headed back to the ville. I think its wrong that the Highway Patrol sets up speed traps on days they know Truman students will be returning in flocks. I didn't get stopped, but I"m sure a lot of people did. Its good to be back but I have so much to do that it's ridiculus. So, instead of working on it, I'm updating. But its probably time to start my crazy week! Have a great week all and thanks for the amazing spring break! Love lots to all!

4 days and I'm out of here!

My spring break starts in 4 days! And I'm already thinking about what I want to take to Texas and Colorado! It's supposed to be pretty warm in College Station and I don't know what I want to wear. I guess I'll have to decide on something soon. I have a lot to do before I leave though. A presentation and a test and an outline for a big paper and lots of research.... I guess I'll get it done but I don't really want to.

Last night was our "alumni" party and it was a good time in my opinion! Teddy came up and it was really good to see her. And of course, there was a lot of beer and I think I passed out before midnight. The guys had a party too but I didn't stay long. Their parties aren't as fun as they used to be. But I think the rookies had a good time. We also had a rugby game yesterday. It was OK, we lost (I think). It was kind of cold. I got kneed in the quad in the first tackle of the game and now my leg hurts lots. I almost took myself out of the game it hurt so bad when it happened. But I didn't. And I continued to play. And now I have a pretty good bruise. That pretty much sums up the game for me yesterday. We had 2 new rookie props and they weren't too bad. I hope they stick around because we're kinda short on props.

Anyway, I better get to all of the homework I have to do today. And watch the Oscar's :) Too bad there's no Grey's Anatomy. Have a good week all and I can't wait to see most of you in a week or so!
