For Leslie


Well, as my good and oldest (meaning longest not oldest) friend Leslie pointed out I have not updated my blog recently. I should do this more often so I get in a better habit of it. But what I really need to do is figure out how to customize it like Leslie does hers. And add pictures, because right now its a boring blog and not so visually stimulating.
Moving on~ Recently I turned 25, yes, 25. I have to say off top that I really expected a lot out of my life by now and thought that things would be very different for me than they are now. I am not dissapointed in my life, I just would like a few things to be farther along than they are. But back to the birthday in general, the day itself was great. Got up went to lunch with JoJo and mom, then to the mall with them. JoJo bought me a two sweaters and a pair of boots and gave me a gift card for $50 to White House Black Market. Then I bought another pair of boots with the money mom and Cheri Beri gave me for my birthday. Then I went to White House Black Market in the Summit (because the one we went to in the mall that I got my sweaters at didnt have the right size of the pair of jeans I wanted) I got lucky and my size was in! So, I got them with the gift card and a little of the extra left from the boot purchase. It was a good shopping day. After that I spent the rest of the afternoon, getting ready for the evening and waiting for Chase. He called around 600 said he was going to shower and would be over. Luckily, for my birthday my dad was going to stay at his girlfriends so I could feel like an adult and not like I live with my dad. Chase came over and we hung out for a bit before dinner. We smoked, I hadnt smoked in 9 weeks and I got quite high. I have been trying not to smoke and concentrate on school. Then we went to Bonefish for dinner. It was great. He had the Ahi tuna and I had swordfish with a crab cake on top. The dinner was wonderful. After that we could have gone to Fox and Hound with people from work but I had a test the next day and I was afraid that I would get too trashed, being that it was my birthday and my coworkers would have no mercy. Instead we went to see Zombieland, yes I had already seen it but it was great and Chase hadnt so we went. After that we came back to my house and had some adult time.
The following weekend, was Halloween weekend, so my friends and I had planned to have a joint party for me and the holiday. My friend Leslie and her husband Adam were able to come. And David and Maci, Chase's younger brother and his gf. Other than that the group was our regular crew. Pretty much everyone was in costume and we all had a great time, in my opinion, really. Although, at 3 am I did call my mom and have her come get me so I could sleep in my old house on Chestnut St. in my little brothers bed (he was out of town) because I hate sleeping at other peoples homes and on an air mattress no less, blah. All in all I feel the party was a sucess.
As for school, things are going quite well, I know I am getting an A in my math course and I am having an odd pattern in my A&P grades. My test grades in A&P have gone like this 89, 91, 89, 91 so far. So, I just took a test Monday I dont have my grade back for it but I would guess I got an 89, lol. I guess we will see. My biggest problem with school is next semester. I have signed up for my classes but I am trying to figure out what I am going to do. I want to get into the radiography program, and I have a friend who says they can help me get an interview for the program and tell me what I need to say. So, I am feeling a little confident at the moment of getting into the program, not awesome but better than I previously did. Therefore, I really only need to take the rest of my classes to get into radiography, rather than my back up idea of going into dental hygiene. So, I was going to take Chemistry in case I need to go to U of L for dental hygiene, but I was instead going to take physics 171 to help with radiography. This is the issue both are on Tuesday Thursday one starts at 10 am the other at 545 pm. I do not want to take 2 classes only on one day and have a 5 hour gap inbetween them. One of them has to go, the problem is do I bank on radiography? Or do the safe thing and take the Chem?? Right now I am enrolled in both classes but I have to decide before tuition is due which to drop. ARGH! Life is confusing. I wish it was easier to get into this program and did not have to be so stressed about it!
Well, the only negative news I have is the day after my birthday. Like I said before, my birthday was excellent very positive and I felt good about it. But the next morning I woke up with a terrible feeling in my stomach. Within an hour I was in tears. To this day I have no idea why. I cried all morning 45 minutes getting ready and then all the way to school, I was just sad the rest of the day. I dont know what my deal was but I suppose it passed.
On another Chase note, I kind of feel more positive about things. He has been a lot better lately. More apt to spend time with me, wanted to take me out for my birthday it was his idea and he asked me. The other day he was texting me and it lasted a long time, and he kind of slipped up, I guess you could say. I said something about school and the job I will one day have making money, and he said "And Ill be asleep while you are at work." So, I replied with "Oh, so now that Ill be making money you are thinking of keeping me around, huh?" Jokingly of course and he just said "You never know." I am starting to feel more positive about things with him. But it has been a year and I need something to be solid. I guess after the holidays I will have to grow some balls and figure out what is going on. Time for another ultimatium, but I kinda suck at sticking to them. Blah... I do need to get my shit together in regards to him, because there is an actually good guy I have known for a long time that I would hate to turn down and run off for no reason. Why is life so complicated?

  1. Glad to hear that school is going well, although I couldn't tell you what to do about the choosing a class thing. Also glad to hear that Chase isn't being a complete douche at the moment.

    It took me forever how to figure out how to customize my blog. If you want a different background, I found mine at cutest blog on the block. It tells you how to put it in. The other stuff I have are gadgets, and you can browse those by going to customize. You just have to take some time to play around with it until you get it how you like it. Let me know if you need help.

    Love you, Shelby!
