Statistics class

BOO YAA ! ! ! look at those awesome grades! 99, 87, 96, 96! On the last test I blew the curve hahaha I know I probably shouldn't laugh at that and I do feel slightly bad for everyone but at the same time I wanted to laugh! It's like the twilight zone or something. It's crazy! lol. I've never done this well ever in a regular class like this and certainly not in a math class. Ever since 2nd or 3rd grade I've just barely gotten by in math. So I am astounded that I'm doing well in this class, especially this well. And to be the top in my class ( of course the people that are in my class aren't exactly the brightest ) it's just so incredible!

AWESOME WEEKEND

I had an awesome weekend. Steph. H. and I went up to Atl. to visit Steph. D. and her husband Randy. We had a great time catching up on things. We did a lot of shopping and Saturday night we had drinks and desert at the Sundial restaurant. We had a blast. The whole weekend was filled with fun and hilariousness. It was just what we all needed.
Favorite quote of the weekend and there may have been some alcohol involved hahaha.
me: "is she a brunette?"
steph.h: "no shes Russian"

Also we kept getting seperated in stores and having to call each other. So Steph.D said we should whistle to each other like in the hunger games. But Steph.H. can't whistle. So she said well then you can sing it like Rue did in the hunger games. But Steph.H. also can't sing very well. So Steph.H. said she would just go CAW CAW CAW CAW like a bird hahaha. And we all laughed. Well later we were in the food court and Steph.H. couldn't find where we were sitting so Steph.D. yelled out across the food court CAW CAW CAW CAW! Everyone was looking at us. And I just busted out laughing. It was hilarious!
steph.d: "CAW CAW, CAW CAW"

hold tight

to remind me to hold tight to the things that are important to me. My dreams, my goals, all the things that I want to do. To remind me to hold tight to myself. Never let anyone make me think that I am less than I am. And finally when I do meet that someone it will remind them of what they should do. Hold tight to me. Never let go of me.

spring break

Well I am in college technically lol so I did have a spring break. My parents were at the beach with my sister and her whole crew for the whole week. Brooke and I went down there Monday and came back Tuesday night. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE AT P.C.B. Of course they were all teens which was a little annoying at first but then we had a great time laughing at them. Watching them show up Tuesday morning on the beach with sharpie written on them hahaha. And there were some girls sitting next to us down on the beach talking about some boys they had met the night before and one girl said, "they were like 25, they were SOOOOOO OLLLLLDDD!!!!" I couldn't believe she just said that. lol. These girls were 16 & 17 years old. It was so funny listening to them talk. Watching teenagers walking up and down the beach acting like they were in college. It was hilarious! We even got to watch a 17yr old get arrested at a gas station for lying about his age and saying "f__ the police" while two police officers were standing next to him. BAHAHAHA. Anyways it was a nice quick trip. We got to eat at Scampys and Sharkys while we were there which was great.

Wednesday I had to work at the elections office finishing up going through the petition.

Thursday I had off and Brooke and I had lunch and then went shopping for a few hours. I got a new dress, which looks so cute with my short hair. Now I just need to figure out a reason to wear it out lol.

Friday I had off again. Brooke and I went and had breakfast with her friend Amy at Pearlys. It was good as always. Then Brooke and I went and saw The Hunger Games finally. I liked it alright. The book was much better, which is strange coming from me because I never read, but I did read those and they were awesome.

Well that was pretty much my spring break. Nothing happened on Saturday or today Easter Sunday. Over all it was a great spring break a very much needed break from dads office and my family and school. I guess now though back to it.

"It's my life, It's now or never"

I went SKYDIVING!

JUMPING OUT OF THE PLANE!

YES THAT IS US FALLING THROUGH A CLOUD!!!

THE LANDING

So I got tired of my life moving to slow so I've decided to do something about it. After cutting my hair last week I decided to finally go skydiving. It's something that I've wanted to do for years but never had the money or never had anyone to go with me. But I finally just said I don't care I'll go by myself. lol. Well I was already planning on visiting my friend Stephanie over the weekend in Atlanta and the skydiving place that I wanted to go to (Skydive The Farm) is only an hour away. So I figured why not. I told Stephanie that I was going skydiving on saturday and she was welcome to go also or watch ( I didn't think that her husband would let her ) lol. Well she convinced him to let her go so we got to share that experience which was AMAZING. I absolutely LOVED it.

update on some things

Time to update on several things.
First off Gmommy. Physically she's doing amazing. You would never know that she ever had anything wrong with her. Even her doctor says that it is purely a miracle. However, her mind is so far gone. The doctor said it happens a lot from all the drugs she was on in the hospital and that it could take around 4 months to wear off. Well it's been 4 months and she is still the same. Her short term memory is practically gone. A waitress takes her order walks away and she can't remember what she ordered.

Also her nurses have all found full time jobs now so we're losing them at the end of the month. So my aunt and mom went this past weekend and took Gmommy to see this WONDERFUL assisted living place. Seriously this place is NICE! That is the best option in my opinion. But their also looking at this one girl that we do have sit with gmommy sitting full time and then hiring this one nurse that they also met with this past weekend to work on weekends. That way Gmommy could stay at home. So their figuring out what to do.

Second off. I am going to apply to SCAD's masters in education program. If I get in and get that degree I can teach art and photography at all levels. I'm going this route because I really want to teach in college if I'm going to be a teacher. I could get certified as a teacher probably before the end of the year but that would only let me work with k5-12th grade. And I'd really like to just go ahead and get my masters and be done with it and be able to teach at college. So that's what I'm doing with that.

Third. I'm getting my car repainted this week! It's going to be great! It's looking pretty bad lol. The cealing coat has come off of most of the back bumper and it's bubbling and peeling on the hood and doors. My parents think it looks horrible but I don't have money to pay for something that is just about looks. My car runs great and I'm only going to pay for things that are necessity. So my dad finally got tired of looking at it I guess cause he's going to pay for it. He found this guy that has done some paint work on other peoples cars and he does it cheaper than it would be if we took it to a body shop. It's going to be my birthday present! So that's really exciting. I take it Thursday and it'll probably take a week. I'm so happy about it.

Finally. I GOT MY HAIR CUT! It's pretty short and I love it! It looks so good. I'm so excited!

Lady Antebellum Concert!

Saturday I went to the Lady Antebellum World Tour concert in Columbus, Ga. It was a great show! Darius Rucker opened for them and even Thompson Square was there and sang a few songs at the very beginning.

Stomach Virus

Yup I got to go visit the lovely facilities at Phoebe hospital. lol. I woke up at 5am on Wednesday sick. By lunch time I managed to keep down some Imodium but that was it. Everything else crackers, ginger ale, other medicines all came right back up. Finally that afternoon things calmed down a little bit, but that was only because I had nothing else to throw up and I wasn't drinking anything else. That evening dad, who had also been sick, had been able to keep some food down and was doing much better. So I tried eating a couple of crackers and a few sips of ginger ale. Nope with in minutes it all came back up. It was 8pm and I still couldn't keep anything down. I was very dehydrated and there were no signs of it going away any time soon. So mom took me to the er. We sat there for a long time of course. Finally I got to go back. They gave me an iv for fluid and put nausea med. in the iv to keep me from throwing up any more. They also gave me some liquid medicine to settle my stomach. It all helped a lot. Just the fluid alone made me feel much better. They took some blood and I peed in a cup, which by the way the bathroom I had to use was at the very end of the hall way, (YOU'RE MAKING A PERSON WHO IS VERY DEHYDRATED WALK ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER END OF THE HALL WAY TO USE THE BATHROOM) anyways. . . also there was no little shelf or anything in the bathroom to place the cup on before or after I was done with it, so there was a lot of balancing tricks going on lol. Not that anyone needed to know that. Well once I was hooked up to the iv they rolled me down to a different room and hooked me up to check my vital signs. I had an blood oxygen thing taped to my finger, the blood pressure thing on my other arm randomly checking that, and 5 of those sticky things stuck to my chest to check my heart rate i guess. (let me just say those things hurt like shit when you take them off. the nurse told me she was going to let me take them off myself, which at the time i didn't understand why cause she pulled off the tape that was on iv that hurt like crap)My blood test and pee test all came back normal, it wasn't food poisoning or bacteria so they said it was a virus. The only strange thing that I heard was they said that my white blood cell count was normal. I thought that was strange because my white blood cell count has always been lower than the norm. but I guess with it trying to fight the virus my white blood count being high would look like a normal count lol. whatever I'm so weird. So we finally got home at 2am. I went straight to bed.

The next morning mom made me some soup before she left for work and brought me down some more ginger ale and a banana to eat if I feel like trying. I slept most of the day. I did manage to eat the soup, half of the banana and had 2 ginger ales. That night I had a piece of cheese toast. woo hoo. lol. The crazy thing is that dad had freaking Mexican for lunch! FRIED MEXICAN on top of that! Can you believe that. Didn't even phase him. So not fair. Well it's now Friday and I did go to work today. I'm a little sore but not to bad and my arm where the iv was doesn't hurt any more. I'm still just tired a little. So glad that's all over with.

STAT. TEST

THE FIRST "A" I'VE EVER MADE ON A MATH TEST IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! THIS WAS A GIANT ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR ME! I ALMOST STARTED LAUGHING IN CLASS I WAS SO EXCITED! IT WAS ALSO THE HIGHEST GRADE IN THE CLASS! THAT IS SO CRAZY! I'M THE GIRL THAT ALMOST DIDN'T GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL ON TIME BECAUSE I ALMOST FAILED ALGEBRA 3. I AM SO TERRIBLE AT ALL TYPES OF MATH THAT THIS WAS TRULY A MIRACLE. I STUDIED MY BUTT OFF FOR THAT TEST AND IT DEFF. PAID OFF.

update on gmommy

Well gmommy is fine physically speaking. Her stomach is great after the last surgery which sewed her up. She eats whatever she wants, she gets enough nutrients from eating so she doesn't need an iv or pic line. There's only one thing that is keeping her from having her life back. HER. She won't get up, she won't fix her own coffee, she won't even take a bath. She just wants to sit in her chair or lay on the couch and do nothing and sleep all day. There's nothing wrong with her she's just become lazy and doesn't want to do things her self. She's gotten accustomed to people doing things for her that she's become lazy. Also she doesn't like to be alone and for the past year there has been someone with her 24hrs a day. So she pretends that she's to weak and can't remember things and can't do anything, thinking that it will keep someone there with her all the time.

Well everyone has told her that it isn't going to happen. She has to get up and start doing things for herself. That mom and aunt darlene aren't going to continue coming up and staying with her as ofter as they have, and all of her nurses are about to start new jobs. She still refuses to do anything. So they called her doctor and got him to approve physical therapy. So probably 2x a week she will have to go to physical therapy. Their hoping that this will force her to start working and moving. If this doesn't work then she will be in an assisted living home probably by summer. Mom and aunt darlene are going to go look at some places in a month or so and if gmommy hasn't made any progress by then she'll be moving to one of those.

Either way she will probably be in an assisted living home by the summer.

stressful day

Very stressful day today! I was sick during the night from 3-6am so needless to say I did not go to work this morning. I got up at 11am got dressed and headed of to stupid ol Darton to buy my statistics book from their bookstore. However they pissed me off and I left with out even getting in the door of the bookstore. So I drove back down the road to this new place called "Dorks" it's a textbook store. So I got my book from there. Which was $100 but if I had been able to find someone that had a used one I could have bought it for half that. Anyways I don't want to get into that. So then I headed to the post office to get the mail for work. And while I was there I was going to get a mail order check for a contest I'm entering (because their also lame and that's all they will accept). However there were a bunch of people in line at the post office so I just left. I was in no mood to stand there. So I finally get to work, in a bad mood, but whatever. Mom and I went to lunch, dad was too busy, we brought him something back. Work was aright, not to aggravating. I wrote a cover letter, artist statement, and adjusted my resume a little bit all for this contest I'm entering. I also got my statistics homework done which isn't due till Monday. So that was good. I was still all stressed out trying to get it all done. I wanted to get the homework done before class tonight because there were some problems that I didn't understand and if he didn't go over in class tonight I was going to ask about it. So then I had class from 6-7:15 tonight. It wasn't hard stuff just a lot of stuff. Lots of charts and graphs to make. So now I've got more homework that's due next Wednesday and a quiz that day. Whatever. Hopefully I'll remember it all. Also I'm going to be going to my cousins house in S.C. soon to shoot some pictures for them for their new business. So that's a little stressful getting that all worked out. But I think I've just about got everything done with the contest, school, and this shoot. So wooo that was a bunch and I'm tired. Hoping to get some good sleep tonight.

The New Year

Well I don't really care about new years resolutions. I pretty much look onward at the new year as just another day. Saturday came and went and so did Sunday just like everyday. People get to wrapped up trying to better themselves or be happier the next year. Why wait just start then. You didn't have a bad year or a good year it was just another year. Like all the others. Everyone has good moments and bad moments in their life you shouldn't look at it as consuming your whole year. I might not be where I want to be in life but I'm still thankful for it because I know it could be worse. So another year another day and I'm still here.
