Working hard

It's so WEIRD to be productive; I had all of my homework done by 9 tonight. That's with being behind in two classes as well. :) Craziness. Don't worry, I don't think I'm making a habit of this. But it sure is a good feeling. Shouldn't last too long though with tests looming on the horizon, oh boy!

Thanks to everyone who prayed...Tobin made it back safely to Indy at about 7:30 tonight. The March was successful and tiring, from what I hear. Everyone's back in the Haute now. :)

Spring break is in a couple of weeks! Florida, HERE I COME!!!! Sun and beaches, beaches and sun, I can't wait! And I'm whiter than snow, y'all. I'm laying out as much as possible here, but I'm trying to avoid frostbite too. K, it's a tad warmer than that, but it's not quite hot enough for me to lay out very comfortably. I have goosebumps the whole time. But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Ok, just thought I'd let you know what was up. Later taters!

Busy Weekend

I thought I'd have a program to write this weekend, but apparently we had a lab day in class, and I got it done in there. AMAZING, I get to head home this weekend and not worry about comp apps at ALL. Happy birthday to my Jaymi! 21 on Sunday. I'll be home for Saturday night and some of Sunday to see her and my family. Yay!

So, Tobin is heading down to New Mexico as we speak. The actual Bataan Memorial Death March starts on Sunday morning, bright and early. It's a 26.2 mile course with elevation differences; plus, the guys are in full fatigues, boots, and carrying packs that must have 35 pounds in them at the finish line. So, any food or water they carry is extra weight since they can get rid of it as they march. The group heads home on Monday. Please pray for them all for a safe trip - no accidents or dehydration or anything like that!

Time to get some heat transfer done. Or take a nap. Or both :). Heat transfer tends to do that for a person.
Here's The Tob and I after the military ball! :)

Results Are In

Thanks for the feedback, guys! Apparently the majority agrees with me. "Buck-naked" is definitely the correct term. If anyone wants to get back to me on the etymology of that phrase, that would be cool too. As for why I asked this in the first place, since when do I need a reason for any of the questions I ask? I was just curious.

Oh, and we almost definitely have a house! I will call today to get the final arrangements made, then we start signing stuff. No worries, padres, I'll read it first. At least skim, anywho. Alrighty, I'm out!

I Need a Vote

Ok, I have a dilemma for you all to solve. Is the proper terminology:

1) butt-naked

OR

2) buck-naked

eeehhhhh?? Please get back to me with your votes. I may or may not weigh the voting so the results coincide with my own personal feelings on this matter. Thanks, dudes!

Sick of Staring at Code

This programming stuff is kicking my tail. I lose. The end. I swear what I am telling the computer to do makes perfect sense to me.

Well, it's official, KT and I are heading south for spring break! We are heading to Florida and will be hitting the Gulf Coast as well as the Atlantic Coast. The trip is 14 hours long and we are driving a stick. And...since KT doesn't want to drive the whole way, I am supposed to drive this car as well. Hypothetically. Should be interesting. Anyways, we'll be staying at KT's grandma's house and hitting the beaches as often as possible. :) Mmm. I miss the sun.

I don't like time changes. This daylight savings time crap puts me in a bad mood. I just lost an HOUR of my LIFE. Urg.

Ooo, my roomies and I may have found a house we like. I just don't want to get an apartment; I hate them so. You can hear everything your neighbors do/say/eat/flush, etc. So I am in favor of a house. We looked at a big duplex (sweet and cheap but really old and slightly scary) and a tiny house (cute and well kept but a tad expensive). We've seen several other places, but those two are pretty much the only ones I like. My roomies will be going to see the little house on Wednesday and soon we will make a decision. Aah! It's so fun...I like the independence having our own place will give us.

I am going to be an aunt cubed!!! :) :) :)

Spring Quarter news

Funny story. I decided to move my lazy butt and go running after doing jack-squat over break. That part is the good decision. I took the Heritage Trail that runs behind Rose; and I came across a mutt who followed me down the trail! He was so cute. My little running buddy.

So, the bad decision came when I reached the Heritage Apartments and decided to take roads back to Rose instead of the trail. First of all, the only road that went the right direction didn't have a sidewalk, so I chose to run down a gravel road that led to a scary plant in the middle of nowhere. Freaked out, I jogged on by and ran down some railroad tracks (in hindsight, perhaps not the best decision either). Sadly, they ended and I took off through the woods. My inner girl scout here abandoned me and I kind of wandered until I found a railroad bridge that led to a road (scary bridge, the Fox and the Hound kind but smaller). I ran down the road and started knocking on doors to ask for directions back to Rose, but no one NO ONE was home. Finally, tired of all that, I backtracked the whole way I had come. Picked up my dog escort again as well. And saw a coyote.

Anywho, long story short, I ran for 1.5-2 hours instead of 1 and really thought I had missed my classes until I got back and realized I just barely had time to get ready and go anyways. Snap. I thought it would have been fun to try and explain that I missed class because I got lost running around Terre Haute.
