School

i better start liking it because i will be in school the rest of my life... i do not think that i have been in the library this much in the past three years as i have this past week. So much to do so little time to do it in, i think i am going to go crazy!!!!!!!

on a sad note, this thursday is my last day with my 3rd grade class, im really sad about it, i have grown to love these kids even on the days when i want to kill some of them! hahah i really am going to miss the smiles and hugs and the hey ms. p look at this hahahah

i am also really sad that graduation is coming up, i have a lot of friends that are graduating and moving on, and it is going to be bittersweet

Silly Kids....

so i would just like to let everyone know that kids really will tell you everything... there is no filter on them and however cute that is sometimes it makes for very awkward moments in the classroom. I had a student tell me that the reason he was moving was because his mom and dad could not stand to live together anymore when his mom and her boyfriend were living in the room next to his dad.... AWKWARD!!! i mean i think it makes for table talk when you come home that night. But i would like to say i know for a fact that i cannot teach real young kids. i'm talking like pk3-3 im sorry kids i love all of you and i will forever babysit your age group but i cannot be responsible for your education i just cant teach you im not creative and i dont have time to deal with you all telling on each other... it drives me crazy! and its ironic because i was that kid who wanted to be the teaechers pet so i would tell on anyone and everyone so that the teacher would like me... well now that i am that teacher, it doesnt make me like you it makes me totally annoyed by you!! hahah oh life you are funny 90% of the time.

on a slightly off topic note, halloweeen was a complete success, i really enjoyed all aspects of the weekend. friday started off on a good note then we won the soccer game, and then it was time for hallobash... saturday was a BLAST i mean besides having to wake up to go to work, i had a BLASTY at owl-o-ween and then OT

Things to come that i cannot wait for:

Soccer Games
Football Games

Chrismas Break
and hopefully that list will grow as the semester gets into full swing!!!!

SUMMER OH NINE

okay i just want it to be documented that this summer has been the best summer of my life!!!! i have been going non stop and really only been in the falls for the week and then off doing something fun on the weekend!!! i have gone all over the place... and don't plan on stopping i have the travel bug and the only prescription is more traveling hahahah okay so that was lame but i laughed... i have learned so much about the woman i am, and the woman i plan on becoming in the future. i have spent time with my family and realized how important they are to me and my life... everyone in my life is in it for a reason and i plan on keeping you all in it....

brandy i want you to know that you are the best friend a girl could ask for... you are there to listen to be bitch about boys and so on but you are there to laugh with me about the dumb TV shows i make you watch.

shahala i love you just like i would my real sister... and i am so glad that i have been able to spend some serious time with you this summer... i cant wait for Mama Mia but nothing beats Wicked!!! that was the cherry on top of my summer sundae :)

and katia!!! you are my rock!!! i love that i can talk to you about anything and everything and you don't judge me or poke fun... although I'm sure you poke fun but I'm okay with that i like to laugh too... i cant wait to move back home and be closer to you so we have Starbucks nights all the time and trade teaching stories!!

if this year is anything like this summer its going to be one for the books for sure!!!!

As of late...

so i really need to update.. not that people read this but for my own good...
lately i have really been buckling down and getting serious about school. For goodness sake i am going to be a teacher so i would think that school is pretty darn important. Also i have made some new life changes... I am no longer going out, so saving money, but i have also come to realize how great a life i really have, and how lucky i am. I do not think that i thank my parents enough for what they have been able to provide for me. 12 years of private education, 4 years of college education, endless love and support. What more could a girl ask for... i can only hope that one day i am able to do the same for my children....

Oh so i quit Spirit Days... and the reason for that is one person. She knows who she is. You want to know the reason, you are a very rude person and do not care about anything or anyone but your cheerleaders and to be quite honest they are the dumbest group of people i have ever met. With the exception of about 3 of them, your cheerleaders could not find their way out of a paper bag, even if they were given directions. I feel sorry for you and i pray for you everyday. You are most definitly the reason that i quit!!! just so you know... i am not going to work for you in the fall, or ever. I do not need your job nor the problems that you currently create for yourself.

On a much happier note... i cant wait for New York!!! i love that state and the people who live there.... my family is the biggest bunch of gumbas i have ever met but they are the best people!!

God this is going to be the best summer ever

When one door closes....

A window opens....

So i didnt make my grades to work in the CSC for the summer... SUCKAGE
but i got a phone call that same day from my best friend Lindsey asking me if i wanted to go to Padre with her.... well now that i have no job and im taking an online class.... PADRE here we come :)

On a totally different note....
I wish people understood that it pisses me off more when you totally ignore me
I'm not upset in the least bit that you cant come visit... shit happens and i understand that... you have things that need to get taken care of... again i understand that.... but what i dont understand is why you have completely stopped talking to me.... i am a big girl!!! and when i say im not mad at you im not mad at you.... please understand that and know that i say what i mean and mean what i say

It's the Final Count Down!

lets see what is going to happen thus far:
Spirit Days x3
Horse Hunting
Mini Golf
WICKED IN SA!!!
Mama Mia
Tanning
Pool
Drinks
School

its going to be a great summer and i cant wait for all of the fun exciting things to happen

Life as of right now

so life always throws curve balls, and i have been able to dodge them so far... until now! HIT RIGHT IN THE GUT!!

I know that i am not the best student but i go to class and i do my homework and i try my hardest on the test... but something just doesnt click in the brain.... maybe its a problem but just because i dont make the best grades does not mean that i am not going to be an amazing teacher!

i have wanted to be a teacher since i was in the second grade and if anything this hit in the gut has only made me want this that much more!!!

At times of trials and tribulations in ones life people stray away from God. I can attest to that i have done it before, but not this time, not now. I will not let this bump in the road detour me from my faith

Sunny Days

So the weather has been really nice here lately! And who knows if that is what is putting me in a great mood or the fact that life just seems to be going right!

I am been struggling with life lately and now for some reason, it really just seems to not be a problem anymore! And i dont know if i should give credit to the fact that simple things that would upset me i dont care about anymore, or if God is really showing me its going to be alright.

I want to just also mention how lucky i am to have people in my life who are there to support me in my daily struggles of life. Josh want you to know that i really appreciate you listening to me rant and rave about certain things. You are such a good friend for listening to me... however annoying i am, and i know im annoying at times. but you never let on that you are annoyed by me :)

I cant wait to celebrate Easter mass here in Wichita Falls with Fr. Hoa
really i cant wait for the this next week of Catholic goodness

Surrendering

So this is one of the hardest thing that i have to do. Surrender my life to God. Well when you want to be in control of everything, giving up control is really hard. I think that during this time during lent i really am going to focus my efforts on Christ, and his sacrifice for me, so that i can sacrifice for others.

I also want to mention how proud i am of you!! you know who i am talking about, you did one of the hardest things a person could do and i am so glad that you are back in my life, and that you are on the path back to Christ. I love you will everything i my heart and i am always here for you dont you ever forget that

Dear Katia,

I loved our time together during spring break, drinks and great music who could ask for more? I just cant wait for the summer!!!!!

Je n'sais pas

Oh french homework how i loath you!!!!

you have consumed my life and i will never get that time back, nor will i receive any grasp onthe language!!!

on a happier note i have really begun to hang out with Linds more... i am really sad to have to see her leave in may!! i dont really know how well i am going to do with her not here

well its spring break and im going to New York to see my aunt, i could not be happier

With Many Ups Come The Inevitable Downs

So i have been having a few really good weeks, and have loved every minute of it! Until the fall occurred. Now i know that i could be blowing this whole thing out of proportion, however this is just how i feel. I have grown to like this guy, i mean what is not to like about him, he plays soccer, is catholic, and really seems like a sweet guy. Where do you see the problem right?!!? well i think he is still with his ex-girlfriend. I mean that is how it seems, and i know that as a girl guys do things that we may think is one thing, but when you get her a valentines day present, and then spend all day with her??? Makes a girl kind of wonder. Well this weekend i answered my phone at 3am, and im now regretting answering the phone at all. What the hell was i thinking?

Oh well here is to the new week, it cant get any worse right!

LIFE

I cannot be happier with my life right now!!! Everything is going so well, and I really would liek to attribute that to letting go and letting God. I swear it might be the hardest thing to do, and you will loose some friends along the way, but you also gain so much as a person that it is not even worth crying over the losses you encounter.

I would also like to say that WE DID HANG OUT!!! Brandy hanging out with you and the girls has become so much fun!!! and we have created so many memories thus far. I love going to Starbucks with you and studying.... watching tragedy happen wahahahha

Confirmation Retreat

We had a confirmation retreat this weekend for the kids in the area. Let me tell you i think ever yer i learn more about my faith going to these retreats then the kids do. At the confirmation retreat we have a session about letting go and letting God... and you hear about these kids struggles and you really think about your own life, and realize how trivial your problems seem. Yeah I have some problems but never could I imagine having some of the crosses these kids bear on a daily basis. Also at this retreat I let go of everything that i have been holding on to. I am sorry but I cannot care about your problems anymore. I love you, but i dont care about your petty drama. I need to close that chapter in my life with you. I am not going to pretend that you are mature or anywhere close to my age level. You are 20 and i realize that. I cannot live your life and I cannot tell you what to do. But I dont think that you are living the life that you want everyone to think you are. Your sister is never home and thats sad but you are a liar. And I really think that you lie because you are ashamed.

Top Gun

You might be at the edge of a feeling that simultaneously attracts you yet frightens you away. Something or someone has awakened your interest, but it's too soon to react openly. Your caution is well advised because your excitement could cause you to easily lose your objectivity. Take it slowly before jumping in.

Dear Rick, how do you know me so well?!?!

People

I don't even know where to begin. New things have come to my attention about certian people, and needless to say it's sort of shocking. I mean I really thought this person was a totally different person. This is really hard to explain but I wanted to write about it because it really got me to thinking, do people view me one way, and then get to know me and are completely shocked!

People are curious by nature and I think it's interesting to see what people really let you see of them on a public side and then what you get to know of them on a personal level. I really would like to think that there is a lot more to me than what I let people see of me. It is just very interesting

Really....

Something's brewing between you and your friend or partner now. Although it may take a few more days to reach a climax, it makes sense to stir up the energy today to see where it goes. Conflicts that arise are indications of something deeper that still needs attention over the next few days. You can talk yourself into believing that all is well, but be ready to readjust your thinking if a reality check points to a different conclusion.

okay so this is what i have to say about this horoscope. Wow how did you know tarot.com that this is was going on in my life! you are totally spot on!! hahah i will def be watching out for conflict and reality checks! hahah

FA 2009

okay so it has been awhile since i have updated on this... sorry

life update:
during christmas break i spent a lot of time with my mom, and realized how amazing she truly is! i swear i can only hope to be like her, in a more cool hip mom way hahaha (no one thinks there mom is cool and hip but its whatev) I got to see my best friend Danny Reid and decided that im going to visit him during spring break!!! love that kid so much, i have been best friends with him since the 6th grade... long time man. Also during break i had the pleasure of getting my tonsils taken out. Yeah i know what your thinking... ouch is right. however BEST DIET EVER!!! all i can eat is super soft foods and not huge amounts either so that means major drop in the lbs!!! so anywho Cody is still being more hormonal than a woman PMSing he is just so up and down with... i really wish i knew what the heck was going on with him... i am so open to him and he seems so closed off to me. oh well. so this is a new year and i really think that i have great things in store. i really have this feeling that it is going to be a good year for me!!! FA has begun and that really should be fun plus i have surrounded myself with great people who make my life truly interesting and never a dull moment!!

that is all for now!! hope everyone out there is having a great 09 because according to the Mayan people its almost over for us!! hahahha
