Lo Siento!

I'm so sorry that I haven't been blogging. This girl got a little caught up in the working 3 jobs and trying to enjoy my very last summer as a "kid" ever!  I promise, I have a list of things to blog about which I will start writing about now! Well as soon as I say SORRY one more time for my unannounced hiatus from the blogosphere!!! :)

Back To School!

I love going back to school for quite a few reasons:
1. I love being on a schedule
2. Back To School Shopping!! new clothes, new pens, new pencils, new post-its!!!! Need I go on?
3. I get to go back to seeing my friends on a regular basis again!
4. I'm going to be a teacher, so clearly I love that whole school thing!
5.  Back to school clothes sales!!

Anyway, I got to thinking since today was my last first day of academic classes!  I started thinking about all my first days of school!!  When I was little, I was scared to go to school for the first time so my mom gave me a back pack teddy bear and I called her Lee.  My big seester had one named Louise (our middle names).  Whenever I got scared or missed my mom, I went to my back pack to sneak a peak at my teddy! I've always loved that idea and have been adamant that my children will have little back pack bears of their own one day. (one day very far away)

LONDON

Hey there bloggy friends.  I have a HUGE apology to issue.  It's been months since I posted.  I can't say it's because I couldn't find the time, but I was in London and then working like crazy and then I took a mini vacation with a friend's family and now I'm working a camp for 3 weeks.  Oh and I had to pass Texas Poli Sci at some point in there too.  To help express my sincerest apologies, I'm including lots of eye candy today! Enjoy my pictures from London!

Catch-Up

I haven't posted in forever and I know that. I have PLENTY to talk about tho for sure. I have a whole bunch of posts to put up about my trip to LONDON!!! Complete with pictures.  But first of all, these are the things that my friends have said to/about me this week.  Some of them were kind hearted, others maybe not so much.

"We have lots of problems..."
"You're a crazy motha f****"
"You think too much about everything"
"You're dramatic"
"You over think every single detail"
"It's about time you had something positive in your life"
"You do know how to hit it pretty hard"

This is what my friends think of me.

Summer Bucket List

I'm sure you're all familiar with bucket lists. (don't EVER watch that movie with Morgan Freeman).  I have decided to make a bucket list since this is my last summer in college.  It's the last time I can do stupid stuff and still be able to tell people, "back when I was in college..."
This is my summer bucket list: (in no particular order)

1.  Learn to shoot a handgun
2.  Ice skate
3.  ACTUALLY go see movies
4.  Spend a majority of my free time at the beach with one of the besties
5.  Take a road trip (just a day trip at least) someplace new!
6.  Get another piercing
7.  sing karaoke 
8.  Don't think - just do
9.  Go to Lake Bryan
10.  Go to a concert
11.  go dancing - like country dancing
12.  Successfully make clothespin cookies
13.  keep in contact with everyone who is important to me
14.  Live in a clean apartment - all summer - Ashley, don't laugh too hard at that one
15.  READ
16.  Lay out & tannnnnnn
17.  work out
18.  Go bowling with friends frequently
19.  Pass Texas Government
20.  Float the river with friends!

The ones in italics are the ones I'm really nervous about....

Procrastination

So I'm at the park with my one of the besties, Ashley and what happens? We find ourselves in the midst of a really cheesy rom-com.  Let me set the scene a little:

Setting:  Breezy day, overcast but not gloomy.  Fairly windy. Public Park

Enter: Sorority chick (costume: triple extra large v-neck american apparel depicting a sorority sponsored event and some white shorts) and boyfriend (aggie uniform - maroon t-shirt and jean shorts).

In hand, the two have a kite.  Yes, a kite.  Now I'm just as cynical as the next single girl so let me ask you this, what is so fun about sitting down and holding a string and watching the dang kite just float?!? Well anyway, after about 20 minutes they finally got it up.  and then they just sat there.  Her with her arms around her knees holding the kite and him with his arm around her.  And that's it.  That's all they did.  Now, Ashley says that it is SOOOO ROMANTIC, but I just don't get it.  Maybe I'm emotionally stunted but they literally sat there for like an hour.  DOING NOTHING.  Do you not have finals to prepare for?!  Oh and to make them just that much more adorable, they left in a VW bug. He drove.

Am I crazy? Or was that just a little too cheesy???
