Busy

Alright. I have not blogged in a long time. I've been really busy and I'm very sorry. I'm going to do a quick recap on my winter break and a little about my first few days back to ETSU. Alright. Winter break was very hectic, but it was a lot of fun. The first day I came back, Ryan and I went to HFA and visited our sisters and a few of our favorite teachers. The rest of the day was running to and from my house to Ate Jean's house and the hospital to visit my new baby cousin. She is so adorable. I will post pics soon, hopefully. The first week that I was home my family was either working or still in school, so I went back to work at Sears. It was very busy, and let me just say, do not, I repeat, DO NOT buy any electronics on eBay around Christmas. Just wait for that Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wi, or PS3 until after Christmas so you don't have to pay some ridiculous price like $8,000 (trust me someone did bid on a PS3 for that much on eBay). Anyway, It was nice to work and see some of my old co-workers. That weekend Auntie Delma and Uncle Tony came to visit. We had a lot of fun spending time with them at Ate Jean's house for the family party and at the Rockettes. About the Rockettes, it was ok. Let's just say that I was more impressed with routines that I've seen Tosha do than what I saw that night. They weren't bad, but they weren't amazing. Back to what I was talking about...

Christmas week was a lot of fun. I got to spend a lot of time with my family that I hadn't seen in a long time. Opening presents was a lot of fun too! I couldn't tell you what my favorite gift was, but I can tell you that I use my FM transmitter every time I get in the car, my Palm TX is used everyday, and my Grey's Anatomy Season II is in m DVD player right now. A few days after Christmas, my cousins, Billy, Geri, Marcus, and Joey, came to visit my family. They stayed with us for that weekend and left New Years' Eve. Marcus, and Joey, are so much bigger since when I last saw them for my graduation. Joey is a little cutie! His smile is adorable. He has a personality now. He's such a thinker, a deep thinker. He's going to be so smart when he gets older. Marcus is still as playful as he was. I have now been re-introduced to Thomas the Train and fish cookies (a.k.a Goldfish). Another thing that I learned from my baby cousins is that Disney movies (mainly Pixar) are really scary if you watch it from a 3-year-old's point of view. Think about Cars or Finding Nemo. Getting lost from your dad or getting lost in the middle of nowhere is pretty scary. Anyway, I felt bad on New Years' Eve, because I had to work. Marcus whined for me not to go to work. I had a lot of fun with them.

New Years' Eve was nice. I planned a party, but everyone else had plans. It turned out ok though. Ryan and I had a date to ourselves, that was until Louden showed up unexpectedly. It was good to see him again. The rest of the week I worked for my last week. The week before I came back to school I spent a lot of time with my mom and dad shopping, the movies, and buying two new cars (trust me we needed it). On Sunday, Mom and Dad drove with Ryan and I back to ETSU because between the two of us our stuff (like two printers, pots and pans, etc.) wouldn't fit in my car. It was fun spending time with them right before we had to go back to school.

My first week back was not too bad. I have survived it so far. I like the personalities of most of my teachers so far. I'm actually going to learn something in Biology and Chemistry this semester. I'm definately going to miss Dr. Burgess for World History though, but I guess I'll have to wait for next semester. Prob and Stats we are not going to go into right now. ;) Right now I am enjoying the rest of my day since two of my classes got canceled.

That's all for right now I guess. If I left something out let me know and I will blog again about that, but please don't be offended if I didn't blog about it today. It's been a month, so yea. I will blog sometime soon. I promise this time.
