It has been way to long since I have blogged. I am soooo sorry to those of you who follow me. I would like to say I have been swamped but I don't want to lie to you, just busy.
Upon coming home from spring break, I had two exams. The next weekend was Shawns 21st Birthday and this week has just gotten away from me. SO I'll start from the beginning.
Spring break was great. It was awesome to be home and catch up with some people I hardly ever get to see but still care about very much. Keen Bean has become sort of my token meet up spot for these people. I really like getting to see them.
The friday of break I drove my happy hind end all the way up to St. Louis to visit Shawn and meet his parents. I think it all went very well. He showed me around to some traditional STL dining locations and we played around at the zoo the first night. The second day I was there we decided to walk down the trail behind his house to Grant's Farm since I hadn't been there since I was little. We walked his definition of "a quarter mile or so" which in reality was just about 2 miles, and found out that the park was closed!! I couldn't believe it was closed on such a nice day. Anyway after that we went to the Science Center. If you haven't been I highly suggest you go. It was a good day and we even got to ride Segway's! We made our way back to Mizzou Sunday and on the way there my air conditioner in my car went out. I know, juuuuust great. But we made it back safe and sound.
My two tests where in Marketing and Accounting that week. I got a 77 on my marketing exam and a 79 on my accounting exam. Those weren't my best scores but I feel like I did the best I could.
Not too long after we got back Shawn decided to turn 21. The night of his birthday at 12am he went to the casino with some buddies and lost $13. He said he was excited to go and I'm glad he got to. I think the craps table was his favorite.
That night I composed a bunch of his friends and we all went to eat at the Heidleburg. If you don't know, it is a goal for most 21 year olds to try to have 21 drinks on their birthday. By the time we got to dinner shawn had quite a few but was still feeling good and composed. As dinner came and we all started to eat I was surprised that no one was buying him drinks. Then they came. When it rains, it pours. I think everyone at our table bought him one. As I'm thinking about it I think he had about 10 sitting in front of him at one time. Ignoring the cries to take it slow, he did was boys do and tried to impress everyone HA! I have to say the majority of the meal after that was spent in the rest room. I will give him credit for making it to 1030 before he got sick, but he tried pretty hard. I think it was a good birthday for him.
This week has been crazy. I'm finally back into the swing of things here on campus and the semester is almost over. I applied for a job as a Student Ambassador so I've been freaking out trying to get all of the paperwork sent in for that. Hopefully I hear back soon. As always friendships are always a growing and changing situation in my life that I constantly work at. I can tell you this point in my life isn't any different. I think things are going well for the most part. It will be nice when the semester is over, but not to be so far away from all of my friends. I'm ready to go home this weekend for Easter. It's really soon for me to be going back home in comparison to how long it's been this year.
Friday was my last official day at Chili's until fall semester. It feels good to have that weight off my back of having to work and study for finals but I can already feel the weight of poorness creeping up ha. I babysit for a woman I work with at Chili's and did that three days, or about 17 hours this weekend so that should be some nice dough in my pocket.
I'm getting ready to go eat what is called Kindergarden lunch for dinner. It is by far the best meal on campus and they have it simply to make us happy. It is dino shaped chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and carnival cookies. I know, your mouth is watering as you read this.
I miss you readers, and I hope that now that you are sufficiently caught up, I can start talking about more things and it won't be so long since you see a new post. I hope all is well with you and that you are enjoying your life and the new nice weather. Hope to see you soon.
