Weekend Happenings

So my roommates and I make a list every semester of fun things we want to do and these things are some of our favorite things we LOVE to do in Soonerland. It can be simple as going to get a snow cone to going to see a movie at the Warren. It usually ends up being one roomie that I tackle this with and wouldn't have it any other way. With the semester ending in like oh 4 day we had lots to tackle, so we did just that.

This weekend I had a LOT of homework to get done, but I did not let that keep me from having some fun. This weekend I had to get a final completed by Sunday that had to be 3 to 4 pages long and mine ended up being 5..vomit. I also had to get a PowerPoint presentation done by Sunday as well. On top of doing discussion posts. But lets talk about the fun I had.

On Friday I got wild and crazy and ordered pizza and rented movies and hung out!

Saturday I woke up did some homework then got ready for the day. My trusty side kick wanted to take a stroll around campus corner to hit all the fun shops and go to one other store that ended up being a major let down. Anyways we stopped at one of my favorite places known as Shoetopia and lets just say if i had an extra $1,000 lying around I could do some major damage there. We found few cute stores that had some really CUTE jewelry, but this college girl needed some more dough for that store.

We then came back changed to some cooler clothes and headed to OU baseball game. We went for two reasons or at least I did 1. being to get my beautiful OU class ring and reason number 2. was to watch some boys play ball in tight pants....did i really just say that....yes yes I did. We succeeded in both those things, so we got out of the heat and went back to the ole apartment.

We changed clothes again, because due to Oklahoma heat we were sweaty. The biffle and I decided to go get some tasty Mexican food and hit up our favorite movie theater the Warren. We saw Fast Five which I recommend everyone to go see. However I was ready to tell some parents behind me to call the babysitter now and for the dang high schoolers to park it.

Got home and I began the process of writing my paper. I have to say I have gotten really good at whipping out a paper in fashionable time and waiting closer and closer to the due date to do it. I blame it on the senioritis.

As for Sunday I woke up early finished my paper and was ready to fall over from tiredness, but when the biffle suggested we go get our nails did I was totally game. We then started watching Private Practice because we were 8 episodes behind.

We still have lots to do, but there was tons of quality time this weekend, which is the best part! Really going to suck come Sunday when we have to part our separate ways.

Mixed Emotions

Tomorrow I have my last class here at OU as an undergrad. I took a full load this semester. I left my electives to take in the end with my capstone, so I could truly focus on my campus, but that is not what happend. Instead my electives were more work than what I hoped for, but life goes on.

In the past I counted down every week until summer arrived, but this semester I did not. I am beyond stoked that in nine short days I will walk across a stage and receive my COLLEGE diploma, but I am not ready to be in a different town from my friends. These girls have been with me all the way and many have graduated, moved, but I still know that they are with me in spirit cheering me on.

There were days I wondered if I would ever graduate college, because it has not always been an easy path. I struggled in figuring out what I wanted to do in life. A wise soul once told me Jess you do not have to stay in one occupation your whole life. That is very true.

I have learned that parents know more than what you give them credit for and that they will always have your back. I can still remember the day they dropped me off at college with tears rolling down my face I was one nervous kid as to what college was going to be. I had high hopes, but was also afraid at failing.

So I am going to try and blog these next nine days straight of what I do each day, because my journay here at OU is coming to an end. I hope one day when I have become a nurse I will get to move back to Norman, which I like to call my second home.

I know that these past few days I have been doing a lot of homework, but at the same time I run at the opportunity when someone asks me to go do something. Another thing is I love to go to class and for some they like to skip and don't get me wrong I do to, but this semester I have had a hard time doing that because I love the class so much and my professor that I hate to miss. So tomorrow I will make one last treck across OU beautiful campus to sit with my fellow classmates for one last class!

HOORAY FOR THE WEEKEND

This weekend I have a lot of fun things I am going to be doing!

1. Tonight my roommate and I are going to an OU baseball game. To say that we are excited is a bit of an understatement. The weather today actually feels like spring compared to the last few days. I am ready to put on an OU shirt and some big shades and have some fun.

2. The Medieval fair is in town. If you love to people watch this is a awesome place to do so. Last year was the first year I went and it was a lot of fun, so I am going for round two. I personally like to watch the belly dancers, because it is so interesting to me what all they do.

3. I have to work on my capstone project this weekend. I am not excited about my capstone at all. I am so over it. It is the only homework I have to work on this weekend and I am not HAPPY. I want one weekend where I do not have to think about school. Did I mention my paper is due on Easter Sunday.......ughh

4. My Epangelia dress came in yesterday and I cannot wait to wear it!

5. I want to get a pedicure!

Hope you have a good weekend!!

I fail

Ok so one of my new years resolutions are all going well, but the one where I am supposed to be blogging more, but have no fear because I am going to try to improve. Enough with that now let you know what I have been up to and what coming up!

• I started a bible study and it is going really well. I love the girls and love God as well so putting them both together means its extra great. There is about 18 girls total oh and I also make some sweet for bible which they love but they say their hips not so much
• I have been eating a lot at home lately and man is seems to be working out well for my pocket book and I also try to shop with coupons.
• This weekend is Spring retreat for my sorority and cannot be more excited. Plus my sister gets to come which makes it ever more better
• As for working out I think I am either on the 4th or 5th week of working out with Jillian and seeing good things on the scale. I will let you know soon just how much I have lost!
• Tests are in full swing aroung here. I had a test Monday and another on Thursday. Not to mention the butt load of papers I have been writing!
• Oh I want to get a puppy for the apartment because nothing makes my heart smile like a puppy can.
• I got a pedicure the other day and it really makes me want Spring to be here.
• I also have been drinking a ridiculous amount of water everyday and at times I feel very water logged!
• Well I don't know much else so back to studying I go!

Hope you have a great week!

I am doin what Jillin Micheals likes to call 'The Shred'

Well as of 11:30pm I have completed my fourth day of "The Shred." I like to say that I am still alive and still kickin. This workout is really intense, but I like it A LOT! It's only 20 minutes so it does not take that much time out of your day to get your exercise on.

I am sure the people who live below me just love when I am doing my jumping Jack's and the jump rope. You do all sorts of crunches and with my experience you will be able to tell that you did them. And by doing those jumping Jack's hurt like the devil going down the stairs the worst, but coming up hurts almost just as bad.

Something that boggles my mind when I am doing this workout is when I start getting tired and want to stop for just a second Jillian will say, "Don't stop now you can do it, and don't turn off your t.v. either. Somehow I think she can see me wanting to stop, but no matter how hard it burns I keep going. I hear Thomas the train in my head saying "I think I can, I think I can."

Last but not least if you have not done this workout video you should know that you go none stop for 20 minutes NO BREAKS, which in the end I think makes it better! Oh and this has nothing to do with the workout, but I gave up POP and man I would kill for a PEPSI right now!

Hope you are having a blessed weekend!

My Resolutions

So here they are....................................................

1. I want to lead a bible study with a small group of girl not sure what book I want to do, but want something upbeat and not dry.

2. I also want to get more out of quiet time, so I think leading a bible study that will help.

3, I want to work on my choice of words. I tend to use some words I would rather not sometimes not a lot, but to more than I like.

4. Being in college one thing I have always struggled with this. going back and forth between home and School is not help find a good church that I like in my college town. I want to find one and atten that one every Sunday.

5. I want to blog more. I LOVE reading blogs and can spend hours doing it, so I think I can handle blogging more. I am going to start a blog day that will be called Tasteful Tuesday. I will share recipes that I have tried lately and plus I just love to cook.

6. Everyone says this but I really do have to lose some weight. The doctor said I need to and I know I do so I am going to do my darnest to. I want to lose 20lbs by April. Hope to lose more than that.

7. Contact my friends as much as possible who do not live in same town as me.

8. Last but not least I want to be more spontanious and do somethings at random whether it short roadtrip or going to the movies!

Happy New Year and may your 2010 be filled with many blessings!
