School started again this week and I have been busy ever since. I like my classes for the most part, but I have so much to read every night. I am taking classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and working Tuesday and Thursday. I am on campus every day from about 8 until 5:30 and its not fun. I hope eventually I get on some sort of schedule because the past few days have about killed me. I am so tired and to make it worse I still can't sleep at night. I'm still trying to figure out how I went to class, went to work, and went out all the time. Now when I get home all I want to do is lay in my bed and not move.
I'm excited about this weekend because its finally time for Aggie football!Renee is coming to go with me on Saturday and possibly my parents. My parents have a wedding to go to first and then they are coming to the game. (I was supposed to go to the wedding too, but Aggie football is more important, lol). Sunday I have to be on campus from 12-3 for an organization I am an officer in (why did I think I had time for this?) and honestly I am not happy about it. I don't mind working and stuff, but the president is so unorganized. I'm not sure how long this whole thing is going to last. Then after I get done with that Susanna is coming and we are going to Ziegfest. To be honest I hate Ziegfest, its outside and there are way too many people, but we are only staying for a little while so it should be okay.
Other than that I plan on staying home. I don't need to be spending money because I've realized that I don't have any. I am much happier with my current job, but getting payed less and working less hours is becoming a problem. Maybe I'll get a second job? I don't know when I have time for that, but I'm currently looking for one. So for the next few months I am going to have to keep the concerts and roadtrips to a minimum, fortunately its football season so that will give me something to occupy my time. Oh and there is that little thing called school, so maybe this is a good thing. I don't know though, I'm not a big fan of this whole growing up thing.
22 days until I get my Aggie Ring!!!!!

I think I have been home more this summer than the summer I actually lived with my parents. It has been nice though, but I don't think I will be home again for awhile. School starts in a week and I am actually ready. I like to be busy and have things to do and right now I have nothing other than work. I went and talked with my advisor last week and am for sure graduating in May. I was still wanting to graduate in December but I think this will be for the best.
I went home on Thursday and had dinner with my dad and Kenya then Friday I had lunch with my grandparents and went shopping a little. Didn't really do much during the day on Saturday other than lay around the house and watched tv with my mom. Then satuday night I met Dawn in Dallas for dinner before we went to see EYB and DMB. EYB was great as usual, Mike even messed up "Always The Love Songs" so it felt like a normal show. haha. We didn't stay very long for DMB, it was somewhat boring to me. So it ended up being a pretty early night which was nice.
Yesterday I went to my mom's school and helped her get things organized and stuff ready for school to start. Other than that another day of relaxing. I got up this morning, went and saw my great grandmother and made it back just in time for work. I've got so many things to do this week like go get books, get school suplies, and just try and get organized before school starts. We will see if any of that actually gets done, but ideally it would be nice.
12 days until Fightin' Texas Aggie footbal!!! (By the way, I have an extra ticket for the game on Aug 30 if anyone wants to go with me)
31 days until I get my Aggie Ring!!! :)

I really should just stay home if its raining. Let me explain, if it rains even just a little bit there are puddles of water all over campus. Also, the concrete in front of Kyle Field gets really slick after it rains. I am not the most graceful person in the world to begin with, so add rain and I'm probably going to fall. Well last week I slipped on the concrete but caught myself before I fell completely but still managed to twist my ankle and my foot was swollen for a few days. Because of dancing my feet are just messed up in general so anything little will make them hurt. I finally got the swelling to go down and it stopped hurting for the most part. Well today I don't know if I was being to careful, but I was trying to avoid puddles and ended up hurting my feet again. My foot is swollen again and hurts.I love rain and cooler weather, but I should just stay home next time.

Well I'm back in CS after going home for the weekend. I didn't really do much of anything, saw the family, swam in my pool and enjoyed doing nothing. I can do that for like 2 days, then I get bored. I like having things to occupy my time, but I guess a few days of that is okay. I'm back to working 1-5 everyday and since I don't have school I'm sure I will get bored this week too. Maybe I'll actually get my apartment cleaned and organized.
I'm only gonna be home for a few days then I'm going back to the parents for the weekend. Okay...not really, I'm going to see the Dave Matthews Band and EYB and I just need a place to stay. Oh well, its not like they aren't use to me coming home for shows. After this weekend though it will be awhile till I go home because school starts in a few weeks and finally its time for Aggie Football!!!! :) My parents and I have season tickets so I'll see them plenty. I am so ready for football...not so much ready to stand out in the heat for a long time but it should be fun.
If I get too bored I may drive to Houston Thursday night for Wade at the Firehouse, but I need to sit down and look at how much money I have first. Working less hours and getting payed less is not so much fun when I look at my bank account. Oh well, I love my job but I do really miss teaching my little girls. :(

I am done with summer school! Yay!! I turned in my paper for my cultural diversity class today and I finished Spanish on Sunday. I should have an A in my diversity class unless my prof is really just mean. I finally finished spanish...all 4 semesters, I am soooo glad to not have to take any more foreing language. Even thought it really doesn't matter since I took it at a junior college, I did end up with a 3.75! I have 18 hours left at A&M....and thats kinda scary. I still want to graduate in December but I'm gonna split it up in 2 semesters and graduate in May. I hope I don't regret that decision.
I have 2 and a half weeks until school starts again, I wouldn't really say that I am really getting a break because I'll just be working more hours, but not having to study and write papers for awhile will be nice. I have a few things planned the next few weeks.
I'm still not sure what I am doing this weekend but I guess I have time to figure that out. I don't really know that I wanna go to my parents this weekend, but I don't really know that i want to be here either. Oh well, i am sure soemthing will work out.
And just for Amalia...44 days until I get my Aggie Ring!
