So,  I got my Spanish class changed to 101, and it meats at like 3:05 to 4:15 or something like that.  Kinda sucks it meets so late in the day but it's okay.

I'm going to Columbus this weekend...me and Katey are leaving in like an hour or so.  Anna lives down there and we are going down there to see her for her birthday which was a few weeks ago.  I'm excited...I've never been on a road trip with my friends....should be fun.

I had to get my hair professionally washed/well water treatment.  Our water here is SO bad it turns all my whites yellow with rust and made my hair SUPER sticky and grimmy....nothing worked on it, I had to go have it stripped out.  Now my hair feels like silk I love it.  

The end.

[music |Colbie Caillat~Realize]

 Why the hell did I wake up at 5 in the f'ing morning?  Srsly.  WTF.  Ugh, I actually turned on my tv that's how bored I am.  The only thing on is music videos, which is kinda great cus I love music videos and kinda sucky cus in the past two hours they've only played a few good ones.  

i got my class schedule!  I was really excited, but all my classes are in Fisher which is like clear on the other side of campus from the freshman dorms up like ten bajillion hills.  So now I'm like only half excited.  I was really wishing the bulk of my classes would be in College Hall cus it's like right next door to St. Ann's and St. Martin's.  Oh well.  

Anyway...here's what I'm taking:

Exploring Interpersonal Communications-  MWF 1:00-1:50  I had this class last year, I doubt I'll get the same professor though.  It was a buttload of work the first day, and I didn't do it so I skipped the second class and dropped out the next day.  ha

Shaping of the Modern World- TR 10:50-12:05 It's a history class so it can't suck TOO bad...and it's my only class in College Hall.

Elementary Spanish II- TR 1:40-2:55  Ummm right.  I have to take a placement exam during orientation to confirm my placement in this class.  Yeah, like...I haven't taken Spanish in over a year and seriously, we never did anything in Spanish in highschool besides gossip...no way I am going to test into this, I'm going to call my academic advisor.

Global Sociology-MWF 11:00-11:50 Sounds okie dokie to me

Research & Info Skills- R 9:25-10:15 I had this class last year too...it's a core class only worth one credit.  This is my earliest class so that's good because it's just a basic computers class.  

Thinking & Writing Across Curriculum- MWF 10:00-10:50 Core English.  I really like the professor I had last year, but chyeah, I won't get the same one.  Everyone says this is a really hard class...we'll see.  

16 total credit hours.  

Wow...I can't believe this is really happening...again.  I never ever thought in a million years I'd ever go back to Duquesne.  And then when I re-applied I was like "yeah, I'm thinking about going back" and they sent me a letter and it was pretty much like "welcome back, see ya in August" and the decision was pretty much made for me.  Which is good because I didn't have to make up my mind, they kinda did it for me.  I just hope I'm doing the right thing.  

Eeee!  I'm getting a little excited.  But I was like PUMPED last year and we see how well that went so.

So, my cousin Annamarie turned 14 last week.  And I found out yesterday she's pregnant!

I like, crapped my pants ten thousand times.  Her mom (my 1st cousin, Annamarie is my 1st cousin once removed) had her when she was 17.  So now she is going to be a grandma at the ripe ol' age of 31!  And my grama is going to be a great-great grama.


Oh, and Annamarie's dad is the biggest racist EVER, and the baby is going to be bi-racial.  

WTF Kids today.  Geez srsly!  She was fucking 13 and having sex!!!  When I was thirteen I wore Snoopy hoodies and broke up with Keith St .Julian because he always wanted to carry my books and I thought it was getting too serious.  We didn't even hold hands or hug, let alone have sex!  Like, wow.  I am shocked.  It's really sad though, I mean she's a kid, she's 14.  She's in junior high..the 7th grade.  When she graduates she's going to have a five year old.  
Wow, my family sounds sooo trashy.  We're not. 

Anyway....today was Ricky's first game of the season and it got cancelled b/c the lights were out and it was a night game.  He was really bummed out, his whole family came to see him play.  He was all pumped up, I felt really bad for him.  It was rescheduled for tomorrow but I have to work so I can't go. :(  

I sent in my housing agreement and stuff.  I can't believe I'm going back to DU.  I want to, but I don't want to.  I'm really torn.  I know I SHOULD, and a part of me really wants to, but part of me is really lazy and doesn't wanna go through the hassle.  Doesn't want to study, to write papers, get up, go to class, read text books, It's really overwheling just to think about.  

I really don't want to leave Ricky.  Even if I did come home a lot on the weekends, he'll be at Thiel, and we really won't see each other that much.

And I really really think I'm in love with him.

 RICKY GOT INTO THIEL!!!!!!!!

I am so excited and proud of him.  He worked so hard for his and he deserves it soo much.  I'm soo happy for him.  I'm just...EEEE!

I got re-accepted to Duquesne.  And I got $22,000 in financial aid.  Looks like I'm going back to Duquesne...

 

So, I learned today I had $0.91 in a really old bank account.  Hahaha.  Seriously, I thought my dad closed that account when I was like ten and for years he has been getting mail at his apartment addressed to me from them and just pitching it without ever telling me or even opening it.  So, I re-activated it.  Now I have $20.91!  I have three bank accounts.  I have my savings account at Huntington which is like my ultimate savings.  Like, I try not to take money out of it ever, I save it for big things (like my car, my laptop, etc.  It used to have $4000 in it, now it only has $1000).  Then, I have my checking account at U.S. Bank which I use to pay all my bills.  Now, I am going to use my savings account at Seven Seventeen (the account I just re-activated) to save money so when I go back to Duquesne, I will have money to live off of.  

I can't believe I'm going back to DU.  I don't even like saying it, because I'm afraid to tell people and then back out and change my mind and let everyone down again.  But I mean...they used my deposit from last year and my attendance has already been confirmed.  It's pretty much a done deal.  I'm so nervous.  I hope I'm doing the right thing.

 My aunt died on Friday.
She was really starting to suffer, and we knew for the past few weeks that this was coming and that there was no hope, she was not going to make it.  So my family took it pretty well.  We were all at peace with it, I mean, as much as we could be.  It's better she went before the pain got any worse, I suposse.  I think she was at peace too when she went.
Calling hours were Monday.  Ricky went with me.  That alone meant so much to me.  He stayed the whole time too and was there for me 100%.  It was really hard, but I pulled myself together pretty well when I got to my uncle and my cousins.  So many people came.  The line seemed like it went on forever.  My aunt Linda was probably the most laid back, easy going person I ever knew.  She always had a smile on her face and was so warm and welcoming and light hearted.  I'm really going to miss her.  But I know she's in a better place.

I had such an amazing day.
Do you ever have a really terrific day for no particular reason?  Today was one of those days.

Ricky took me out to lunch, bought me Starbucks, then he went to play ball with his friends.  I picked him up when he was done, he filled up my gas tank, and we went over to Kelly's and hung out for awhile.  Nothing spectacular happened, but it was the most wonderful day ever.  I mean, he didn't have to fill up my gas tank for me, didn't have to buy me Starbucks, or hang out with my friends, but he did.  It's days like this that I know I'm in love with him.  He can be so amazing sometimes.  If I loved him anymore tonight, my heart would burst out of my chest.  He's my everything and I love him more than I can put into words.  I pray this feeling lasts forever.
