As Always

As my title today says, like always, it has been too long since I blogged. It's going to be a long one, so for your convenience I've decided to number my points and let you pick which ones you want to read about.

1. Student Ambassador Job
2. The Purple Dinos
2.5 End of Semester Mumbo Jumbo
3. Home Life
4. Movie Theater Job
5. Trip to Columbia
6. Alaska
7. Future Summer Plans

1. Student Ambassador Job
For this I made it to the interview process but sadly only got one interview. I thought it went really well and I answered their questions very fairly but I guess I wasn't what they were looking for. I got an email about a week after I came home saying that the position had been filled and thanked me for applying. It's too bad I couldn't get that job on campus but I understand that everything happens for a reason. I guess I will remain at Chili's through the school year. They have treated me well so far so I guess I will stay there for my employment.

2. The Purple Dinos
Fortunately we made it through the first round of playoffs....by forfeit. It was a miracle to all of us that we made it that far let alone "won" a game and progressed further. But a W is a W, right? We won another game by forfeit putting us in the top 8 teams in the league. All of the girls played their hearts out, but sadly, in game 3, that wasn't enough. We lost to a team that we had been obliterated by earlier in the season but personally, I thought we did a lot better the second time around. Though we are losing some really good girls for next semester I hope the dinos can pull through and do well again next semester.

2.5 End of Semester Mumbo Jumbo
The semester ended very well. I passed all of my classes, some with lower grades than others, but the point is I passed. I was so glad to have finals over but not so eager to leave Columbia. As I've said before, it's hard to leave one place you call home for another, no matter which direction you are traveling.

3. Home Life
Being at home is so nice. It's so much different than when I was in high school. I have few responsiblities and get to sit around and enjoy my time off. It's nice to be around family and just be able to hang out and not worry about when I have to go back to school. When I work I stay with my Ma and Pa Kay in Monett, about 30 minutes away from my house, which is nice. They have a pool that needs tending to so I have been getting a tan. I also go to bed very early. Mom and I have ridden our bikes a few times, once with Elizabeth too. It's a fun thing that I like to do.

4. Movie Theater Job
Talk about an easy job. I always joke with my Ma and Pa that I'm the best paid bathroom cleaner in the world. It is a really good job and I don't have to do much, except clean the bathrooms. I sell tickets and concessions most days, some days I tear tickets. It's pretty easy and I get to read my book a lot. It's nice.

5. Trip to Columbia
A week ago today I made the trip to Columbia to visit everyone. It was nice to be back. I got to spend time with Dorothy, Shawn, Spencer, and even see my friend Dylan. It was really nice.

6. Alaska
So a week from tomorrow we (mom, steve, amelia, elizabeth and I) leave for alaska. I will be using this blog to keep you all posted on our progress through the road trip, and on the boat. It will be easier since I won't have my phone aboard the ship. I hope you find it useful and that I remember to write haha.

7. Future Summer Plans
So my summer plans changed last week when I was asked to come back to Columbia for work. So I will be returning to Columbia after our trip to work until school starts. This will be a change but I think it will be nice to earn some extra money. I will still work at the theater on holidays. It will stink leaving home but as I tell my mom, I always miss one place or another.

Thanks for reading my blog and thanks for sticking around. I'm glad you did and I will do better about blogging through the summer.
