THE LAST BLOG POST!

Well this semester has been pretty good.  I have attempted to take English104 three times, but have dropped out after the first week every time.  This was the third time and in the end I am very glad I stuck this one out.  I am one who has never like English classes...ever!  But Mr. McArdle really made this class enjoyable.  I really feel like he did a great job with our class, and I know I learned a lot.  I might only have one year left here at BSU, but what I learned from McArdle will definitely be helpful.  SO I would just like to thank Mr. McArdle for making my experience in English104 one that was enjoyable and worthwhile!

Turkey Hunting..Not

So, I was going to go turkey hunting on Wednesday with my dad and brother.  I spent Tuesday night getting my gear ready, finding spots on the map and putting them into my gps and buying my license.  We planned on leaving at 4am so this meant that I needed to be up by 3.  It had been raining Tuesday night (big surprise right) but I figured it wouldn't be a big deal.  Anyways, I get up at 3, and at 3:15 my brother texts me and says he doesn't feel like going since it was raining and everything.  3:17 my dad calls and says he doesn't want to go either. I was just like whatever and went back to bed bummed.  Wake up, its not raining, sun is shinning, and I look at the radar and where we were going to be hunting and no rain.  Oh well I guess.  Better luck next time.  Maybe I'll be able to go this next week since I dont have many finals and work has been slow. =)

Finals

Well looks like my final schedule is pretty easy...I only have to physically go and take one final.  I also have two take home finals, but they should be easy. This semester has been pretty laid back and I've got good grades. All I ask for now is to finish strong.  Hopefully next semester will be similar.  Only one year left until I'm out of here!

End of the Semester!!

As you all know the semester is almost over!!  This is probably the best thing since spring break!!  I cannot wait to have some time away from school and some time to actually enjoy myself and days away from it all.  Still totally pumped about my Canada trip in a couple months and my birthday is in June.  So I have plenty to look forward to.  Im sure everyone else has some sort of plan once school is out to enjoy themselves, and I hope everyone does.

Final Cheerleading update.

Well my cousin didn't make it through the final cut.  She almost made it all the way, but they cut her before the final tryout process.  She was a little bummed, but was still proud of herself for making it as far as she did.  She will be trying out again next year, so maybe she'll do better then!!

Mushroom Hunting

I went muchroom huntin on Monday and found 50 "Spike" mushroom (Also known as Pecker-heads) because of their shape.  It was the first time I've been this year and I did pretty well. Not as well as my brother, who went out and found 400 mushrooms.  He must have a secret spot he's not telling me about. Anyways, I fried up the mushrooms I found, along with some blue gill (Fish) I had and made me a Good O'l Fried food dinner!!

Rain sucks!

So....all this rain. Im pretty sure I'm going to go fill my boat up, pack a few weeks worth of food, and some clothes in it, and get ready for a flood.  I think in the last 10 days we've has like 2 days it didnt rain.  Its kind of becoming depressing.  I want nice weather and sunshine so that I can take my boat out on the lake and soak up some sun!

Running!

So the other day I went for a run/jog.  This was the first time I had ran in a long time.  After about 400 meters I was out of breath. lol.  I ended up running a total of 2 miles in about 16 minutes, so not bad.  Averaged an 8 minute mile.  Im going to try and keep up my running so I can get back into shape and start working out more.  Gotta Get BUFF!! haha

4/17/11: Broad Ripple, Moving, and Great Food

So today I went to Broad Ripple to help my brother move his girlfriend out and into her new apartment.  And after we got everything moved we went to a restaurant called 3 Sisters.  It was interesting at first, because its in like a house, and upstairs is a hair salon.  Its very strange at first, but my brother said it was really good so we decided to eat there.  Come to find out Guy Fieri from Food Network's Drive-ins, Diner, and Dives had eaten there.  So that was pretty cool.  Anyways I ordered one of the items featured on the show.  it was called the D'Nai, and its pork and kale sandwich.  It was SOOOOO GOOD.  It was very juicy and a little messy to eat, but it was delicious.  We also split a piece of a blueberry and goat cheese pie.  Which at first sounds so gross, but again it was sooo good.  It wasnt to sweet or rich, it was a perfect balance between sweet, tart, and creamy.  Good home style cooking!  Oh and my brothers girlfriend paid for lunch which was sweet.  Later that evening we went to the Cheesecake Factory, which I have never been to before.  And again as the trend has been thus far in the day the food was good and the cheese cake was incredible!!

4/16/11: Movie Night and Work Again

I went to the midnight showing of Scream 4 with my cousin and her boyfriend on Thursday, and it was pretty good.  It had the original cast and as always a good twist as to who the killer was.  Didnt really see it coming at all.  But all in all was a decent Scream movie.  Anyways, work was super busy on Friday!  We almost had a record night and I was super exhausted.  I actually fell asleep on the floor for a couple of hours before I realized it was almost 3 in the morning.  Saturday actually wasn't any better.  We were equally as busy on Saturday and we had less people.  To say the least it was very stressful.

4/12/11: Colts Cheerleader II

Well my cousin has made it to the final selection process of being a colts cheerleader.  Everyone in my family is super excited for her.  Hopefully she makes it all the way!  Anyways.. on another note.  Work has been busy. I'm planning on helping my brothers girlfriend move out in a few days.  I haven't seen him in a while so hopefully we get to hangout for a little bit, and maybe go out to eat or something.

4/8/11: Colts Cheerleaders

Well my cousin tried out to be a Colts Cheerleader, and she has made it past the first two cuts and is in the final 100 candidates.  There is a section on the Colts website that lets you vote for your favorite candidates and we're trying to keep my cousin in the top 20.  SO if anyone who reads this blog would be kind enough to vote for my cousin that would be awesome and greatly appreciated!! The votes don't necessarily mean the girls will make it, but it gets the judges attention and a better chance for my cousin to be selected!

3/27/11: About to get busy...

Went into work the other day and my boss asked me if I was ready for some more work.  And of course I was like ya.  The last month was terrible and was probably the worst check I ever had.  This is when he began to tell me that we will have a $10,000 apparel order in the next few weeks!  The order is for one of my old high school teachers army squadron.  It sucks though because the end of the semester is coming up and school is always busy, so Im going to be stretched thin the nest few weeks.  I guess I better work on managing my time more efficiently.

3/23/11: Plastic Surgery Craziness!!

So the other day I got up early before class and I was watching th news.  The two reporters were talking about a women who had over 50 plastic surgeries and was 55 years old.  They said that she had spent over a hundred thousand dollars on plastic surgery.  The results are pretty amazing and doesnt look fake which is also very incredible.
