Once I finish my paper tomorrow I will be done with summer school. I have about four pages to do tomorrow but I'll be done in like no time. I just need to find a few more sources and fill it out a little bit more.
Went to the 51's game with Katie and Steven last night. It seemed really ridiculously long but it was fun. They had a really amazing fireworks display after the game too. I saw a few fireworks tonight but mostly stayed inside to keep Sophia calm.

Final night of summer school! I really have enjoyed this class, but I am ready for a break. I almost applied for a second job lifeguarding at the bellagio, and then I just decided to relax and enjoy the rest of summer. I haven't gone for a bike ride in weeks and my goal this summer was to ride every day. The summer after I graduate, I'm going to pick up a second job lifeguarding on the strip and just work tons and tons and save up lots of money so I'm not super poor in grad school.
I think I need to start running again because I have too much energy and I can never sleep at night. These thunderstorms are not helping either because when I actually fall asleep, the ridiculously bright lightning has been waking me up.
For Katie's birthday I ended up going to MJ Christensen and getting her this really adorable little gold heart necklace. I loved it as soon as I saw it, and Katie said she loved it and that's what matters.
No warped this summer, we're going to Blackfoot that weekend to see Stace and I haven't seen the twinkies since they were like 10 months old so honestly I was only bummed about no warped for like 10 minutes because I love those kids.

One more week and then I'm done with summer school. I considered, for a very brief moment, signing up for a class next session and then decided it's better to take a break. I love Native American Literature, though. The whole work all day, school all night doesn't work too well for me, though. I'm eating garbage, haven't worked out and haven't gone to planet beach in like a month and that's not cool. I think I need to get an elliptical or something because I would never use a gym membership but I really want to get back in shape.
Katie's birthday is this weekend and I think I've finally figured out a good gift. It's not so much about money or anything like that, it's that Katie is like the best person in the world. Like she's let me practically live at her house and she's just super giving and thoughtful and I love her, and I thought that a really awesome gift would be the least I could do to thank her for being so awesome.

I love Native American literature. Honestly it's probably the best class I've ever taken. We were discussing the Bering Strait theory the other day, and when you learn it as a kid it seems to make sense but as an adult it's so silly. Why would they have only traveled one way? It's especially silly because the Europeans came to America and then turned around and brought more people back with them, so why wouldn't the Natives do the same? Basically the Bering Strait theory is bull and it was invented so that the Natives wouldn't have a claim on the land because if we can say they were also recent immigrants then that gives us an excuse to be total monsters to them and kill them and take their land.

I finally got some news about the scholarship! I have an interview on Monday, I'm so nervous. Just keep your fingers crossed and wish on stars and pray that I get this, it will seriously change my life and make it SO MUCH easier. With the budget cuts and not getting a raise and tuition probably going up I've been stressing about paying for next year and I'm too stubborn and independent to ask for help from my parents.

I would like to know what makes everybody think that I'm sad and lonely. Everybody wants to set me up with their friends and despite me turning them down, they keep insisting. Newsflash: I enjoy being single. I've got the rest of my life to worry about that crap and right now I'd like to be selfish and young for a few more years. If I just so happen to meet somebody fabulous, yes I'll give it a shot but I'm not looking for love. Actually this is the first time in a long time that I haven't been at least talking to a guy and keeping him on the side just in case, and I'm probably happier now than I've ever been. I usually just keep those things to myself because I know it's never really going to go anywhere, though I usually tell Katie and Jeanette that I'm at least talking to somebody. Long story short, I don't need any more boy drama so stop offering me up all your single male friends.

Greg Larsen came into work yesterday and he's so darn cute. I miss everybody that worked at DB three years ago. We didn't hire too many new kids this year, and I'm pretty sure they're all like 16-ish. Lame. Dan already has a guard games theme haha. I love summer. I'm in full-on summer mode right now and it's making me want to drop my summer school class and be totally irresponsible but I know I can't do that.
I need to go get a facial today. I haven't done voice since last month and I'm not starting again until next month because this whole month is just ridiculous, but that's okay.

The beginning of summer is always fantastic because of all the inservices we have at work. My next two paychecks are going to ridic because of inservices. Which is perfect because I have to pay summer school tuition soon. I've been listening to lots of Brighten lately because I've been happy, and they make me even happier.

I'm ready for summer school to start.
Baseball games on Friday were intense. Brock said that Saturday game was ridic, they ended up losing by one point so they're seeded second for state which means they play Carlin on Thursday, and I can only stay for the first hour because I've got an inservice for work. I'm very proud of the fact that I haven't gotten a sunburn at a game yet.
It's too hot for daily bike rides now, and it's dangerous to be riding at night so I think I'm going to go buy lights for Brock and I. He even went for a ride on Saturday night when I knew he was exhausted from the baseball trip.

Ever since school has been out I've been sleeping in until 10 or 11 and it's been quite nice. Last night I got like 12 hours of sleep.

I am now the proud owner of a 50 year old rusty bicycle and I'm so happy. Leslie went right over and bought it last night. She is amazing. Now I just need to find a way to get it here without spending a billion dollars. I can't believe I was about to drop $500 on a new bike at REI. Ideally, I wanted an old bike so I could fix it up exactly how I wanted it. I'm so glad I finally found one! I was thinking of painting it pearly pink but even though that's my fav color I feel like every girl in the world has a pink bike, so now I'm either thinking mint green or purple. I don't know I'm just so happy I finally found a cheap restore bike that's actually small enough for me.

Just found the most amazing restore bike ever. I am going to ask Leslie to go buy me one and then I need to figure out a way to get it here. Dan said if I found an old bike he'd restore it for my birthday and that bike is perfect.
I have my discussion for lit theory today and then I'm done with classes, but I still have to do the take home for that class. I already started it and I'm supposed to read one of my answers out loud today but I don't feel like wasting paper printing it so I'm not going to. I didn't want to get out of bed today but I forced myself today because it's my last early day for like a month.
Whenever something has me stressed I usually text my Mom or Jeanette because they are both rational and help me chill out. I know I always tell you, but thanks for listening to me complain and be annoying all the time, J-net. I love you lots.
I was feeling really sorry for myself and then I saw this:

I just got a whopping $42 for all my Shakespeare books and my ed psych books. Selling books back is such a joke. They gave me .50c for each of Shakespeare books, and those are $5 books. I don't even remember how much my ed psych book was but they gave me $30 or something so whatever.
Done with actual classes tomorrow, but my eng 303 final isn't due until next Monday via e-mail. I'm probably going to send it by Friday in case there is a problem and he doesn't get it or whatever, plus I want to be done with school by Friday.
I'm finally getting my hair done Saturday, then dinner with Morgan. My mom said he doesn't look or sound the same or anything. So weird. Also church on Sunday and I don't think I want to wear my blue dress anymore so I need to figure something else out.
I'm eating some oreos right now and they aren't very tasty without milk. They need to sell milk in the vending machines if they're going to sell oreos.

The walk was ridiculous today. There was like 20,000 people there. The Chippendales dancers were at the finish line giving pink flowers to the survivors and the firefighters ran in their gear again so that was pretty much the highlight for me.
I finally got a new phone. My charger broke a few months ago but I managed to cram it into my phone and make it work, but on Thursday the part that plugs into my phone finally snapped off so I decided to just get a new phone rather than a new charger haha.
REI has a 24" beach cruiser and a 20" one, so I'm probably going back soon to get one. The bikes are all 15% off until next Sunday, and that really isn't much but any discount is helpful. I sat on both of them today and I'm kind of leaning towards the 20" just because I know it will fit in my trunk and I won't have to worry about buying a bike rack too but I don't know. I was so happy because I've gone to so damn many bike stores and all the bikes were 26" and it's so frustrating to be too small for all the bikes.

I was planning on going on a 3 or 4 mile bike ride today, but it's been raining on-and-off and I don't want to be 2 miles from home in shorts in torrential downpour.
Breast cancer walk tomorrow! This year is kind of a bigger deal because of the breast cancer scare Mom had this year.
I'm so excited to be done with this semester. I have to finish my presentation for ed. psych. and finishing reading my last play for Shakespeare, and then I have my take home for lit. theory but that isn't even due until Saturday so I'm not worrying about it until I'm done with all my other finals.

I finished everything for EPY 452 so I'm done with that class, I'm done with all my work for special ed, I just have to turn it in and take the final. I'm finishing my Shakespeare paper tonight and then I have the final, and then I have a 3 page essay for 303 and the take home final and my presentation for EPY 451 and then I'm done! I'm actually starting to look forward to my summer school class because I don't think it'll be too intense. I'm just ready for summer. Jeanette and I have been talking about going hiking for like a month now and we haven't had a chance s as soon as school is over I think we're going to.
I went and saw Katie's new house on Saturday then we had dinner and played apples to apples and uno. Uno is seriously on of the longest games ever, second only to monopoly. I don't think I've ever finished a game of monopoly because it starts getting boring after several hours and everybody gives up.

My interview went really well, but my choice of shoes was definitely poor. Either the left shoe was smaller than the right shoe or my left foot is bigger than my right, because my left foot hurt so incredibly bad all day yesterday from being squeezed by the shoe.
I can't wait for this semester to be over. I have my big paper for Shakespeare to finish and then the rest is pretty much cake. The only thing that may be a problem is my presentation for EPY 451, mostly because I honestly have no idea what exactly we're supposed to put into our powerpoint. There's a ridiculous amount of information we're supposed to collect and then show little teeny bits of that in the slideshow. I'm not presenting until May 4th, but presentations start today so I guess I'll see what other people are putting into theirs and that'll give me an idea.
It's kind of appropriate that today is totally gorgeous because it's Earth Day! I just wish I didn't have school/work all day so I could actually spend some time outside.
