Well, I'm off the road now, but I'm back at Rose again. What a great weekend! I saw the PCS Homecoming games...a PCS sweep!! That may be the first time in school history. It's only the second time a girl's team has won Homecoming (I believe). It was great. The junior high guys won a close game with REALLY low scoring , which made it all the more tense. The girls won in a big blowout, which is nice considering they don't win very often. The varsity guys played an INCREDIBLE game that had the audience on the edge of their seats (or hardly in them, in the case of me, Melita, and Jaymi). Wow! The guys were neck and neck most of the game, fell behind by 8 points, and came back to win by 4 or so. I loved it, and I definitely lost my voice.
I saw all my high school buddies (minus several seniors from last year) at the game and coronation the next day. My sister is BEAUTIFUL!! She wore an aqua-colored halter with a mini train and some design down the back. She was amazing! And I'm borrowing that dress sometime. ;)
Luke, Lacey, and Grace were there Friday night through Saturday night. It was SO good to see them again! Grace has grown so much, and she is gorgeous, let me tell you. She's so happy and content too! Really, if her basic needs are met she's pretty darn happy. I love her! I'm sure L and L get lots of sleepless nights with her when she's NOT so happy, but luckily, the aunt doesn't have to deal with that side of her!
There's a recruit coming this Thursday and Friday. I will be taking her to a basketball game Thursday night and to calculus class Friday afternoon. It should be interesting.
I'm applying like crazy for scholarships, loans, and summer internships right now. Mr. Lauson is still my hero, but I will also be contacting Mr. King and Mr. Elwood to see if they know of anything or can help me out. I might be living in Rockford, Illinois this summer! Whoa! It's kind of scary to think about, but also kind of exciting!
Well, calculus calls. Later!!

WHOOPEE!!!!
Can I just say that Mr. Bob Lauson is incredible??!! For real, man, he ROCKS. He has sent out an email recommending me to people he used to co-op for, including my resume. Holy cow! I love this man!!
So that's my exciting news for today. Tomorrow's news is: I'M GOING HOME!!!! Yay!! I get to see my girls play some bball and I get to see my bee-yoo-tiful sister get all dressed up for banquet! And we will celebrate her bday as well on Sunday. The whole fam will be there (Luke, Lacey, and Grace as well!!).
Well, classtime now. See y'all later!!

You are also good at remembering information and convicing someone of your point of view. A master of creative phrasing and unique words, you enjoy expanding your vocabulary.

Lol! What??!! Yeah, these things are super accurate (*splot splash* oh, is that sarcasm dripping from those words?).

Well, this could be true. I serpose.
Well, it's been fun, but class :( calls.

No conflicts
It was peaceful. Though he definitely saw me. I wonder how people are born without consciouses. Consciousi?? Whatever.
So guess who's in a good mood. ME!!!! I got my calc and physics tests back. Oh yeah, I got an 87% on calc and an 80% on physics. WAHOO!!!! Seriously, I'm doing flips over this! I was so worried that I would fail physics, but here I actually did pretty well. AND I was 6 points above average in the calc test. YES!!
So there it is. I'm headed to the library today. The Vigo County Public Library is aMAzing!! There are rows and rows of shelves, it's wonderful. So I will finish my homework there (that's the plan anyways), then I'm off to work out at the SRC. I might meet with Kerbel there to shoot some hoops as well. Later all!!

You Know Why I'm Glad I'm At College?
So I no longer have to deal with immature boys.
Wait a minute...no that's not right. Story time!
I'm eating lunch with some BSB3 girls, oh-so-innocently. However, there is bright sunshine glaring off our table right into our eyes. So I get up and pull the shades closed until our table is nicely shaded. We are happy.
The table next to us, that was beautifully shaded before-hand, says "hey" when I close it, but I say "it's bright". I think that will stop them from becoming upset. Ooo, the naivete.
Two minutes later, the pygmy football player...oops, I mean the vertically-challenged bouncer...or whatever, from the next table gets up and goes to the shade and...get this...yanks it wide open, walking back with a self-satisfied smirk on his face. His gender-confused friend...er, I mean, long-haired hippie...or whatever, says "this is the first time the sun's been out in weeks". Obviously this was supposed to justify their oh-so-gentlemanly maneuver.
Meanwhile, we BSB3 girls are being blinded (not being able to see what you are eating in the ARA is dangerous to your health) and slowly the right side of my face is being cooked to a nice pinkish tinge. Nice for a Christmas ham, but not quite the look I was going for.
Yes, I was angry. And I have lovely Confused Boy in my class next hour. So this might be a To Be Continued. Class time. Wish me luck.

Summary of the Weekend
It was nonstop, mostly (I refer to it in the past tence even though its still Sunday because I will forget to write about it on Monday). It all began on Friday, when I started my day at 8:30 when my alarm was SUPPOSED to go off at 7:00. Well, it probably did, but I definitely slept right through it. So I began rather frazzled. I had 3 back-to-back exams that day, and I was going to get up early to study for them and get ready to go to Ball State that afternoon, but NOOOOO.
Instead I had 10 minutes to get ready for work. I ran around until I was decent enough that I wouldn't scare people, then ran out the door. Work for 2 hours (studying as much as possible), then comp apps class where I met my team for the rest of the quarter (we're sunk). Then it was my lunch hour. I did eat, but I also showered and got ready for the Ball State match. It was a record, I believe.
Next, 3 exams. Calculus was first; I think I did pretty well, I'm excited about that one. Then was physics. Yuk, I'm not excited about that one at all. I hope I passed. Then, there was psychology now, I'm pretty sure I passed, but how well I did kind of depends on how badly everyone else did. ;) So that was my test experience.
Right after my last test ended (3:20), I rushed back to be ready for Jen and Chad when they came to pick Erika and me up. We then drove to Ball State and proceeded to cheer for Penn State, being the only Penn fans there. Penn State won in 5 with a score of 25 or so (the cap on game 5 is 15!!). It was amazing, we were all hoarse from yelling, and we hurried out as quickly as possible. (we weren't sure how the Ball State fans would take it, and it was kind of odd to be the only ones yelling our heads off in the dead silences after Penn State scored)
So I got back around 12:30. I went to bed, ready for Mom and Dad to come at noon the next day for my vball banquet. Haha, no such luck. They got snowed in back home. And they had my strapless for the formal that night. Hmm. So I went to Olive Garden alone (only drove past it once, folks!) and really enjoyed the banquet. I got Most Improved award! I was super excited. Wish my parents had been there though. :(
Once back at the dorm, I rushed to get ready for the formal that night. Don't worry, everyone, I borrowed my roomie's strapless for the formal! We left at 5:30. There was a dinner (pretty good, but my momma makes better pie!!) and lots of speech stuff for the new Pike initiates. We had a milk toast because that fraternity has a "milk and cookies" reputation (meaning they're nearly dry). I say nearly because there are always goofballs, but I thought the milk toast was pretty cool. The head honcho dude was also a head honcho in IVCF (intervarsity). He prayed for our meal and everything. Then there was a live band (Stretta) that was aMAzing. We got back at about 11:30. I watched a movie and went to bed.
Sunday's list of activities include: bball games at 1 and 3, then church at 6. Afterwards, I will finish my Matlab homework and I am done!
Well I'm tired and I'm sure you are too. That was a long one. Peace out!

You Know You're at Rose When...
...the differential equations textbook was written by your professor. (yes, I'm serious. These crazy smart people)
...your favorite reading material is a fifty-pound physics book. (ok, true, it's my favorite because I really want to get a good grade...but still)
...you take your own car to the formal so you can leave earlier than your escort; and he doesn't mind!
...those rich kids complain about not having any spending money, and their parents are paying their full tuition AND room and board.
...someone offers to help you through E-Sys (that you've heard is a beast) because they've been through it twice. ;)
...the phrase "everyone fails" is more common than chocolate as a way to comfort someone.
Haha, hope you enjoyed!

New Post
I couldn't think of anything more creative. No other emotions or events are standing out right now, so that's it.
I got up at the butt-crack of dawn today, but I feel great!! I think that's because the reason I got up so early was to get comp apps help, and now my homework for today is D-O-N-E done and yesterday's is corrected. Yippee! Dr. Olson, my comp apps prof, is super nice; eccentric, yes, but that's to be expected. Really, I like that class, but it gets really frustrating if I can't get the code right. It seems like everyone else gets it without the help, but I know that's not true. A lot of people just get it from other students through email. And some have been programming since the womb, so I guess I'm doing alright.
I HAVE A CAR!! That's right, and I am going to ENJOY it. That means I can finally find the Vigo County Library, go to a store to get the supplies I need, and take Katie to church with me on Sunday so we don't have to borrow Kevin's car. Cool beans yo!
In two weeks, I will be home again to 1) celebrate Betsey's birthday (a week late) and 2) go to Homecoming and see my girls (and the guys) play some bball!! And the girls, despite their rough season, should actually win this game! I am so excited!
Not to look too far ahead, though, because this weekend I have volleyball banquet and the winter formal (not connected, but on the same day). Let's hope both go well. I am also headed to Ball State to see a men's volleyball game with my team. It should be fun!
I am hoping to head to Florida over quarter break, but we will see.
Back to work, I suppose. Take care everyone!!

Oh my I'm sore.
Yup, you heard me right. Ok, right now it's only a tightness in my shoulders, but tomorrow and the next day: woohoo! It's gonna feel grrrreat, lemme tell you. Actually, I kinda like being sore because you know you've accomplished something. It means I played enough volleyball to give my arms a workout, and that feels SUPER good because I need to play as much as possible.
Hitting up Subway tonight again. Haha, I have become an official loser now. (no comments on that one please;) I actually went to Subway a half hour before meal-exchange opened just so I wouldn't have to sit in line. Which is kinda dumb considering I sat there just as long going early. But at least I wasn't up-down-up-down like I would have been in line. I'm taking my computer instead of a book this time (Luke would be proud) so I can do Matlab homework the whole time. I need to do two days worth so I don't have to worry about emailing Monday's homework to my prof from my home.
That's right, I'm going home this weekend!! It's Grace's dedication, and I'm extending the vacation over MLK Day, even though Rose doesn't technically take it off. Two of my profs aren't having class that day, I'm getting my homework in early for the third, and the fourth is ok with me being gone. Wahoo! It's gonna be a blast.
Registration for spring courses is next week (of course, as a freshman, my sign-up time is on FRIDAY instead of Monday). Hopefully I can still change my schedule the way that I want it. I have calc class first period EVERY DAY!!! But that's good actually because it is the prof I wanted for Calc III. It's Graves, and I've heard he's super-cool and an amazing prof. Let's hope so. I would have liked Martensen again (my prof this quarter) but he's not teaching calc III spring quarter.
Everyone have a splendid day, and I am going home TOMORROW.

Who's the bomb?
Oh yeah, I am!!
I am the Matlab queen!! I finally understand it!! Ok, so maybe it was just this lesson. But I'm not too sure. I got it, and I got it all by myself!! I know, I'm amazing.
This weekend is crazy! I may be going home on Friday OR Betsey may be coming for Sunday night and part of Monday. Either way, that's gonna rock! You see, MLK Day is this Monday. Betsey (PCS) has no school that day, so she is free to come see me after going to see Grace's dedication in GR. But my physics prof isn't having class that day either, and I may be able to get out of the rest of my classes as well. Not sure about that, but it's a possibility. If I do, then I will go home after classes on Friday and spend Friday night through most of Monday at home!! Oh, I really want to go! We shall see though. Plus it would be really cool for Betsey to come down cuz I love her!
If I am here this weekend, I want to go back to Maryland (the church I visited last Sunday). I already got a mailing from them, and they are supposed to call sometime (haha, if I am there...I am running around quite a bit). I can ask them some questions I have then. That would be nice.
I called in response to an add for a female Algebra II tutor for a high school student. I don't know if I will get the job, but if I do it will be a good experience for me. It made me nervous, but I think I would enjoy getting back into the "easy" math.
Also, I went to an information session for Operation Catapult (thinking about working it). There are about 60 ppl applying for this position, and they have 3 or 4 positions available. Plus there are only 3 or 4 females on staff every summer. Which means, if they even are looking for a female, the chances are pretty slim of me getting the position. I guess I need to depend more on the internship possibilities. Speaking of which, that is what I will be doing this afternoon. Applying for internships. And playing volleyball (every Wednesday we have a pick-up game).
Hope your day is as good as mine will be, Happy Weekend Wednesday everyone!!

open mouth...insert foot
Haha, whoops!! Did I ever say that I am not the most tactful person around? Cuz jiminy Christmas, I'm not!!!
You see, I cleared a little something up between me and a guy who is escorting me to a formal. I basically told him that I am paying for myself. Because we are just friends. As in this is not a date. I'm not sure he took it too well. But I was blunt enough to get my point across. I actually feel better even though I probably should be embarrassed.
I finally found a cool church! I have to ask someone in charge a question about doctrine, but mostly I agree with what the church believes. I want to get involved in a small group. I'll get info on those next Sunday, hopefully. It's a grande church, but I liked it. So I'm excited!! Yay!!
Till next time, then. Keep it real!

aarrgh
Do I send off vibes? Do I look desperate? Maybe I'm just too nice. Or maybe unsavory characters have a honing system and can find me no matter where I am!
Whatever it is, or whoever you are, I DON'T WANT TO DATE YOU. Geez louise. I mean, come on. Maybe I should wear a sign or something. 'No touchy' or something to that affect. Off-limits, boys. I'm probably not going to find my soulmate at Rose, so QUIT TRYING TO BE HIM.
Maybe it's reverse psychology. Cuz ya know, the boys you really like never like you back (ok, maybe again that's just me). So as soon as I see an attractive specimen, I should immediately start thinking mean thoughts about him. Tell him off. Etc. Then I'll be surrounded by lookers. I said lookers.
Well, I'm off to a basketball game. Hopefully the fat ref (oh there always is one) won't propose to me.
Ok, it's not all that bad but...tgxkyxgsjkskgc!!!! It's frustrating. Later, all.

Well, I'm off to a basketball game. Hopefully the fat ref (oh there always is one) won't propose to me.
Ok, it's not all that bad but...tgxkyxgsjkskgc!!!! It's frustrating. Later, all.

Grinding Away
Yep, it's nose to the grindstone again. After an amazing break, here I am back at Rose. I don't want to be back yet, and all but one of the people I talked to agree with me. Two weeks is way too short for a Christmas break!
The most depressing part is that now I'm concerned about pulling my grades up. My third week exams were harder than first quarter finals! That isn't right. In fact, the best grade I got was in the class I was worried most about...comp apps! I thought I did great on my calc exam, but I instead I got a 68! The reason was that I missed a simple problem because I didn't recognize it as an arc-length problem! I would have gotten an 82 if I had realized that. I actually understand that class and I did badly in it. I can't wait for summer to come. This is ridiculous.
I finally finished my resume, on a good note. I will be re-applying to Rolls-Royce and GM as well as contacting other people that are in the engineering field that I know of. I need a lucrative job over the summer. ;) If I don't get an internship, I have the options of working Catapult at Rose, working at Best Buy (with Danny's recommendation), or job-searching everywhere else. Also, a job with Mr. Lauson or Mr. King may not be an internship. Well, we shall see. I'm kind of rooting for the Rolls internship because they pay for your housing and have places set up for you to live in, plus the pay is $12.50 per hour. But the downside is that I will be living in Indy and I won't see my family very often.
So, I get to go home in three weeks! That is for Betsey's birthday, but I also get to drive back to college, have a car for a week (WOOHOO!!!!), then drive back for Homecoming! That'll be a blast! I wasn't even sure that I could make it back for Homecoming, and now it looks like I will. Yay!!
My quarter break is Feb 25th till March 6th. I'm hoping to head up to GR for the first two days to see Luke, Lacey, and Grace. If not, being home will still be nice! Then there is spring break, but I will be leaving right after classes end the last day of school and coming back right before they start again. That equals no home time. Then there is the last haul and I am done!!
I am still without a home church, but I may have someone who will take me this Sunday, plus my roomie has offered as well. If she has a car. I am hoping to make it to a small or large group IVCF (intervarsity) meeting this week. It's so crazy how I will have so much free time when I am alone, yet I somehow never have time for the things I really want to do that will get me involved in something.
Well, hopefully today will be a better day, it's still early. Which can be scary as well as comforting. I can only hope, so I will.
