snowboardingg

next semester my friend elissa and I are taking snowboarding for a credit. im so pumpedd! its only $275 for rentals, lift tickets, and tickets for 6 weeks. and the money is billed to bursar so its not like its money out of my pocket. then im excited because for christmas im getting a snowboarding jacket and pants that i picked out. but i have to wait alll the way til christmas to get it! its not like its that far away but still i wanna wear it =] my mom said thats my "big" gift because it was expensive, i sound greedy, but im in need of clothes. oh well gotta give up something.
i might work at the ski mountain over break, and i really hope i do because then ill get a free pass so my friends said theyll teach me before i look liek a fool for when i start next semester. i wanna know at least a little something before i start!

so yeah im pumped to learn something new, hopefully ill stick to it because thatd be awesome because i like watching it so itd be cool doing it too =]

things to do over break

there are so many things i want to do over break, that i doubt any of them will happen. so its easier to write out everything i want to do rather than just think about so here they are..



first, i want to make money. i have my job at the mall at wet seal, but theres so many workers that i dont know how many hours i'll get. then im handing in papers at the ski mountain to be a housekeeper! hahah but its $10.50 an hour and i'll get hours and free snowboarding pass so i think its worth it. the only downside is its mandatory to work on holidays =/ i'll have to suck it up i guess. hopefully these two jobs can work out and i make as much as i can!



second, i want to visit my bffs! my friend mallory's roommate lives in rochester and she promised to visit her. so i told her i'd go too so i can see my friends. then dan would come along with us because he's on the way so we'd pick him up. the only problem would be getting the money for gas to travel 5 hours upstate and getting our rents to let us use a reliable car. this would be awesome because id be seeing all my best friends in one shot. nick tony and dan, then the other guys and they want me to visit their friends so it would be alot of fun. we just need to find days we can all go so hopefully that works out!

third, a weekend trip to the adirondacks. my bff jillian is talking to alot to lee, who im pretty close to. he mentioned his cabin he has that he wants all of us to go to and we would snowmobile, snowboard, have it to ourselves, and theres a hot tub! how sweeeet would that be, with all our closest friends from home. so the only problem would be getting off work, but it would be worth it!! =]

thats the 3 main things i really wanna do over break, so ill stick to getting them done then think about other activites =]

australiaaa!

next fall im seriously thinking about going to australia with my bff jillian. i was going to get a house with some girls on my team, but two of them bailed then the other two are still looking. i just dont feel like dealing with still looking around for houses and what not. then its always been my dream to study abroad and go to australia. my best friend has the time to because shes a year ahead of where she should be now so i definitely want to go with her. just the whole cost thing will be an issue. ive gone so broke this semester, so im gonna work hard over winter break and next semester and see if my parents will help me out and ill pay them back. we would leave mid july so i cant work much before we left. then we'd get back midnovember. we're gonna look over winter break on where to go and apply and see what our parents think. this would be the greatest thing everrrr. ive always thought i'd never go because my boyfriend would hate it, but we broke up, after 3yrs.. so of course i want to take the opportunity when its there before anything happens in the future again with him. ya never know what could happen! so maybe after i get back from australia things will change and we'll see what happens with him=]


ahh i really really hope i can gooo!!

grades

im getting so anxious to find out my final grades. this morning i found out two grades for classes and was pumped they were so good. i was suprised the teachers posted them so quickly but its because the semester isnt over. for the classes i dont have finals in, i keep checking if the teacher posted grades yet but im sure most wait til last minute to get everyone finished with. my last day of finals is thursday so im sure i wont get all my grades til at least tuesday or wednesday which cant get here soon enough! hopefully i do good this semester because next semester i chose some pretty rough classes so ill need to keep my gpa up somehow.
the greatest part of finding out you got good grades is telling your parents. i already called my mom and dad as soon as i found out i got an A in my management class. i really thought id get like a B- so when i saw an A i was so incredibly happy, then hearing my parents be excited is awesome. i'm 19 and in college, yet my mom still buys me stuff for doing good, i love it =] i hate getting older so when she gives me rewards i feeel so young again haha! =]

hope everyone else gets good gradesss!

facebook

im pretty sure if there wasnt facebook, or myspace.. then i wouldnt be distracted all the time doing my school work. you go on to check one thing, and next thing you know your on there for an hour!! i know its my fault for going on it in the first place, but its just so distracting. ive gone on my computer to do homework and automatically checked facebook first, its horrible.
nowadays parents are getting facebooks!! i cant stand when my mom finds something out then says she heard someone saw on facebook. im pretty sure everything on my page i put on private..but somehow people find ways around it! then i have parents asking to be my friend, do they honestly think ill accept!!? my moms friend at work asks her everyday why i didnt accept her as a friend my mom was like she doesnt want you to see her stuff! so at least my mom understands where im coming from.. thank god.
then i hate how future jobs look at your facebook to see what kind of person you are. i feel like these things let us be who we are, and if theres pictures of drinking.. then who cares at least we're being responsible. i dont think it should all be held against us. but thats just my opinion... anyone else have thoughts about this?

wisdom teeth

so as much as i'm excited to go home, the monday we get back (15th) i have to get my wisdom teeth out =[ im so scaredd! everyone talks about it and how it kills afterwards, im so not looking forward to this. my mom wanted me to get one done at a time, but i feel like ill go through more pain going back 4 times so im just getting all 4 out when i go. the pills afterwards better help the pain or else ill be so mad. i wont mind being put to sleep and all that, i just heard the pain after is the worst ever. im petrified of the dentist, so its just not looking good. looking at the positive side, it gives me an excuse to lay around all day in my bed and be lazy =] my friends will be home also, so they could always come and hang out but i wont be in the best of moods for them. then my sister was telling me how she hates the gauze pads that you have to keep in your mouth because they make you gag. hopefully i dont feel the same way she does and ill be able to tolerate them. ahh im just so nervous i really dont want to get it donee! then i keep thinking about the movie "awake" and how he is getting surgery and was never put to sleep and feels everything being done. if i wake up while they are still pulling teeth out, im going to freak out! i cant deal with the pain in my mouth, i can handle a broken bone, cuts, bruises, just not dental work!! ah mann one week! =[

summer heights high

since i just talked about monday nights i was thinking of another show on hbo, and if you like comedy and dont mind cursing, youve got to watch summer heights high. im so mad i missed it tonight because me and britt forgot it was sunday, and we've been in the library since 630, and the show was on at 1030. its the most random stuff youll hear and see. i dont know how people think of shows like this, but its hysterical. its about a guy who plays 3 different characters, one he is jonas, a student in like 9th grade, another a girl in like 11th grade, then he is a teacher at an elementary school. each character has the funniest voices which makes it that much better. the show started in australia and was a huge hit, so they thought to bring it here. its still new so i think people will enjoy it and start watching it more soon enough. to get a look and see what its about.. go to www.hbo.com/summerheightshigh.

check it outtt! =]
