Long time, no post

Ok, so for a few months I have been very bad at this, and I am going to try to get back to at least once a week again now. Its been so long I dont even know where to start. I suppose I will start with school.
School has been really trying the last couple of weeks. I just had a ton of assignments and tests. Now that its the end of the semester, I am pretty much done with everything. I only have one report, one group project, and two finals left, but they are not cumulative so they shouldnt be to terrible because we only have 3 weeks left before finals week. My communications class is really irritating though. We have to do this group service learning thing, which is really mandatory volunteering with people in our class. The worst thing about it is that we have to do a group presentation as well as a written paper on it and its only 4 hours, but to me mandatory volunteering makes it not volunteering. Humanities is easy and boring, I only need to do a chapter report and its only on a section of the chapter. Also, I went to my conference to turn in my application for getting into the radiography program. They called and I have my interview the day before Oaks Day, but we still wont know if we get in until June. I really hope Billows has time to meet with me before that day and prep me for the interview. I already applied for my FAFSA money so I hope its not for nothing.
Work has been work, i am just working as much as I can with school so that I have money because right now bills are tight!
In other, good, news things with Chase are great. We are going to Jim's wedding in Naples, FL in May! I am so excited. After that we are going to his uncles beach house in Melbourne for a week. So, we are leaving on May 21st and flying to Tampa where we are going to eat lunch at a place Chase wants to go. He grew up in Tampa like from a baby to 13, so he has family there and wants to go somewhere specific. Then we are driving to Naples which will take about 2 and a half hours. We are going to stay there until the 24th. The Sunday the 23rd is Jim and Morgan's wedding before that on Saturday night there are hors d'oeuvres and drinks. We are going to stay at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, which is a few miles from the beach resort but there is a shuttle that goes back and forth every 30 minutes. Bob and JoJo said the resort is REALLY nice like completely top of the line. So, I am really excited about getting to go and stay there with just Chase it'll be like my first real adult kinda thing, if it makes any sense at all. On the 24th we are driving to Melbourne to stay until the 30th. Sometime in that time frame David and Maci are coming down. Btu we dont know yet if they are going to fly and we are going to pick them up in Ft. Meyers or Naples, or if they are going to drive and then we are going to take the rental car Chase and I have back to Orlando early and then use their car. But at any rate, this should be fun. One of the best parts is really that Chase and I are going to get like 9 days off work in a row! That hasnt happened for either of us since the restaurant opened. The negative part of this is that the last time I went to FL I got sun poisoning really bad. And since this event I have not been successfully tan at all. So, I am trying to get tan, really hard. But so far I have burnt myself twice and have sun poisoning on my arms. The first time I went to the tanning bed I burnt myself from my knees to half way up my boobs, yes just the bottom half was burnt and this was only on the front of my body. Then I have just been out in the sun as much as possible but not with the normal sun block I have worn for years and so my arms got sun poisoning and they itch like no other, plus they look awesome. But I figure better to suffer now and get a tan and get past it then to have this happen while I am on vacation and ruin that plus waste all the money I am spending on this vacation.
In other news, JoJo and Bob are thinking of buying a villa in Jamaica. It was built by Winston Churchill for his granddaughter Lady Sarah. Ill pause so you can re-read that sentence........it has a pool and 5 huge bedrooms and 3 baths and a view of Montego Bay. They can rent it out for $5000 a week, for every week they dont want to be there. They will get a membership to a resort there so that whomever stays there whether JoJo and Bob or me or the people renting it, can go down and use the resorts facilities and beach property, how sweet is that? So, next year I may be writing about how I am getting ready to go to Jamaica and stay at the villa!
I think that is the gist of the important parts of what has transpired in the last couple of weeks, maybe months.
