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! =]

monday night shows

its sad how many girls, mostly girls id hope, look forward to watching tv shows. and when theres a break for a month or a wait til the next season, everyone gets all upset! whaaat has our lives come to!!!? i cant wait for gossip girl tomorrow night, its going to be so so so so good =] i feel like its gonna be the last one for like another month, and ill be so pissed. they already have us waiting til january 5th for one tree hill to come back, after leaving it with suspenseee..it was finally a good episode after a few weeks being down the drain. i hate when they waste episodes by not making it exciting enough. gossip girl on the other hand hasnt let me down lately. every episode has had good drama and suprising things happen, and they keep it going and make us wait to see what happens. tomorrow night we find out if someone dies, and i really really think they do, i hope im right cuz i predicted everything that will happen and it will be awesome to see i knew it would happen. then the hillls is on, but ihavent kept up with that show lately.. the episodes are so short its annoying. they drag them out and it just becomes lame.

so yeah, cant wait til tomorrow nighttt! it will be a nice break from studying to watch gossip girlll! =]

christmasss

i love love love love lovee the christmas timeee! its so exciting and fulll of happinesss =] i hate how i cant be home right now helping my mom with decorations and all that fun stuff. hopefully we dont get a tree til i get home this week, im sure theyll wait, i hope. then all the christmas movies that are on! i think i watch elf every single time it comes on tv, i never get sick of it. the 25 days of xmas on family channel is always the best, except the other night the movie cars was on.. whattt does that have to do with christmas!!
i just love how theres so much christmas spirit haha as corny as that sounds. but like everyonee gets excited so its awesome. with all the lights on hosues, i could drive around all night looking at them. ahh i cant wait to go home now! my mom will have tons and tonss of cookies made, and alll the decorations are up already. my mom has enough decorations for me and my sisters to split when we're older and it will fill up our whole house. i think she has like 30 boxes! shes nuts. but its awesome. =] i dont wanna talk more about christmas cuz then ill get too excited so thats ittt!

finals

everyone i talk to, their finals are like over by wednesday or something early. my only finals are on thursday, only two of them which is pretty lucky, but still that late, and the same day!? it sucks even more cuz the second one is at 545 so ive been debating on going home that night or waiting til the morning. im leaving that decision up to my daddyyy! its a pain though knowing my finals are far away because for example everyyyone is studying and im like eh mine are thursday. it sucks! im trying hard though to force myself to go to the library and do work but i have the worst attention span. speaking of, its funny how many people talk about adderall at this time of year. its sad to see that nooo one can sit down and study without it. whattt has college come to!? like to stress us out that bad and take stuff to help us sit and focus. its nuts. but whatever works i guess.
i hate cumulative finals also by the way. like we have enough crap going on with school, teachers just love to see us suffer. way too much information at one time for my liking.

good luck everyone on your finallsss! =]

friendsss

after leaving last semester, i thought it would be hard to jump right into things and start all over again with meeting people. i kept in touch with everyone from last fall that i met, but being home for a semester i thought like everyone i talked to would drift apart. the few that i did talk to alot when i was home and all summer, ended up being the greatest friends to this day. the saying is definitely true about no matter how far away or how long its been, your real friends will always be there. so yeah, i just wanna talk a bit about my one bff who stayed by my side=]
one person i kept in touch with was tony. last fall we started talking more and more but never really became extremely close. then when i was home, we talked all the time, and were there for eachother through everything. i love the fact that distance brought us closer. we couldnt wait til i came back this fall and could finally see eachother after so long. then this semester he found out he had a tumor in his neck and was getting it out over thanksgiving break. i was so nervous about it all, i couldnt even imagine how he was. he left a few days early before break because he was geting it done in florida so we talked before and right after it was done. it was so scary waiting to hear how he was! hes such a positive person though, and extremely strong, that i knew he would be okay. i finallyy got the text saying " im alive haha " .. like who do you know would ever be that ok with what was going on!! he said he was in so much pain, yet he was like ah i cant wait to go running. crazyyy person!!! but im happy hes back to himself and the tumor is finally gone so theres no more worrying. it was right above his adams apple.. what a horrible spot. the pictures and the scar alone, you can tell it hurts alottt. but once again, hes the toughest person i know and still doesnt complain about the pain. so yeah. thats my best friend tony =] hes my favvv and its great knowing hes been there for me even when i didnt come to school here and i know he'll always be there. love you t! <3

back from break

on sunday i couldnt wait to get back to cortland. it figures that the day we come back, the weather decided to be crappy as hell. there was rain sleet snow slush, making the ride take forever. i felt bad for the long island kids, every long island person i talked to it took them 11 hours to get here! thats half way to freakin floridaaa!! i could never sit in the car for that long just to come back to school. but i guess people should figure out that everyone and their mom is going to be driving back from somewhere after thanksgiving weekend. so people from long island.. you should of left at like 8am haha. it only takes us 2 and ahalf hours to get here, that weekend it took like over 3 and i was pissed.. i could only imagine some people. the only thing that sucks is we came back for two weeks and we're back home.. once again, for long island kids, it just sucks! i would hate to be a parent having to drive back n forth to get them. i guess the timing this year just didnt work out because i dont remember it only being 2 weeks til break again. oh welll, at least we came back to not thattt much work to do and just studying! =]

turkey break

i just realized november went so fast. after cortaca weekend we had one weekend then thanksgiving break. november came and went! i was excited to go home for break because i didnt for like over a month. i was supposed to go home tuesday with my friend from home, but she ended up going to visit her bf at esu so it left me with my mom getting me monday night. that wasnt too bad because i got an extra day at home, but it sucked cuz i planned on handed work in at my classes tuesday morning so i had to email everything, i felt bad.
so onto break.. i had a blast at home. usually its boring as hell because we live in such a small town that nothing ever goes on. but all the college kids were home, so it was awesome seeing everyone.. and suprisingly there was something to do every night. my friend taylor at home hates being bored, and so do i.. so we made it our goal to find stuff to do. then i worked wednesday friday and saturday at my job at wet seal at our mall. it was great seeing everyone, they were excited so have the college workers back. and the shifts went so fast because all the sales going on, it was non stop busy. i thought it was going to be horrible working on black friday, but i loved it haha. all the customers were nice for once, because our sales were awesome, and they had sympathy for us working on such a busy day. it was nice making some extra money for the little time being home.
then thanksgiving day was fun tooo. we never have alllll the family over, usually one side does their own thing with their other side of their families, so it leaves us with just my aunt uncle and little cousin. but this year everyone was over and i had alot of fun with my older cousins. we caught up about everything and joked around with the adults the whole time. i hate thanksgiving dinner, i only eat the turkey. i hate being such a picky eater, but honestly.. some of the food is just nasty.
even though we were gone for like 5 days, i couldnt wait to come back to cortland! thats so sad. im going to go through serious withdrawal over winter break!

cortacaaa

After deer and beer weekend, came Cortaca weekend.. ahh so exciting. I was pretty mad when i had to sign up to do hours for my major. Im sports management and we need 40 hours of events. So it was winding down and there wasnt too many events to sign up for so i had to sign up to work friday night and at the football game saturday. i was only mad because my friends were coming so while they were all starting early friday night, i was working at the hockey game til like 9. but i realized it wasnt too bad becuase i just met up with them afterwards and didnt have to wait around to see what was going on. then saturday morning was cortaca dayyy! i love how everyone is like "oh im getting up at 9am and drinking!" then half the kids dont end up doing it cuz they are so hungover hahah makes me laugh every time. but i had to be at the game by 11, then it was amusing seeing drunk crazy kids screaming and starting fights. it only sucked being in the rain for 4 hours but it got my hours out of the way for class. i wish cortland won to see how crazy it would of gotten, hopefully next year we'll get em!
so yeah.. overall it was a great weekend hanging out with my best friend and other people who came to visit. my bff never came to cortland before and she loved it so much. so im glad she wants to come back again. =]

november

i cant really say i was looking forward to the month of november, considering snow would be coming. i dont know why i go to an upstate school since i hate the snow. it hasnt been bad at alllll here this year, really suprising. we got a few snow showers but nothing major. i feel like we've gotten more rain then snow recently. our last rugby tournament was deer and beer. that was a blastttt. we played all day in mud and rain. thank god the rain stopped for awhile during the day and picked up when we were ending the tourney. we made it to the championship game and lost vs albany in the final. they were the nastiest players you could ever watch. most of the time girls dont get THAT rough, but this team was throwing punches like it was their job. we didnt even shake hands with them at the end. its usually disrespectful but honestly, this team was sooo bad. then they ended up going to woodys after, just a few of them.. so they could collect there trophy. we didnt start anything, i was suprised haha. but it was one hell of a dayy. starting at 9am playing til 4, then to woodys right after. they had amazingggg venison to eat and i barely eat deer. but i ilked it alottt! k gotta go tanning, back to writing later =]

behind.

blogs are due like tomorrow i think? or maybe the end of next week.. and im pretty sure i'm like 19 down. so im just gonna write about random days, adventures, break, the end of the semester and so on.

lets see where to start.. i guess like the beginning of november. i ended with scrimmaging ithaca, that went well it was alotta fun but just about everyoneee was hungover from halloween night. but we didnt take it too serious. we ended up beating them, and they are division 1! so we were really happy. =] halloween weekend was a good time. friends from home came to visit and had a blast. it was the last visit my boyfriend made..upsetting. moving on... im glad my friends had a good time because when some people visit, they expect you to keep them busy like 24/7 but they dont realize, theres nothing to do during the day! its usually everyones relaxing time on weekends so im glad the group that came wanted to relax too. thats good enough for this blog. on to the nexttt!
