drastic day
i get in these moods occasionally. they're are the daring days that i have. today was one of those days.
i chopped my hair off today. i lost 6 inches. yikes! but, i like the cut. it's funky and fun. it was a needed change. my hair was getting so blah. and that's not cool. all i ever did with it was throw it back in a ponytail. so now it should be fun.
anyways. that was my daring move. i'm still in shock a little bit because i have lost so much hair. well, it's not that much i don't guess, but it feels so different.
school today wasn't too bad. my 8 o'clock was a killer to stay awake though. ay101 had a quiz, which i'm sure i probably failed. uh oh. i need to start reading over my notes. we didn't have art history. spanish was… interesting. art was just dull.
today at lunch, i met the infamous tracy, of the matt miller kind. fun stuff. she's rockin'. yay for that. lunch with trevor and mary… i love them. mary, you're so adorable! thanks for the hug before we left. and trevor, you just rock.
before my spanish class, i called matt miller. as i was talking to him, he realized that he was walking right behind me. strange, funny moment. it was fun getting to hang out and chat for a while, even if i walked a half mile away from my classes. no big.
so there's not too much to report today. today has been any normal day… maybe that's why i went and cut my hair. who knows.
and just for the record, i'm still laughing about 'napoleon dynamite.' heckyeah.
really of worth?
I'm worth $2,019,545.54! How much are <a href="http://www.personprice.com" target="_blank">you worth</a>?
i was excited… but a little flabbergasted at a few of the questions they ask to get to that answer. yikes. but, hey… woohoo. if i only REALLY had that much money. i'd be set.
least of labors
wow. great weekend. very great. and it happened to be a holiday.
let me just say… when you're away for the weekend, you've definitely gotten behind on the lj's. i'm gonna have to take a while to catch up. but tonight is not that night. sorry.
quick update… and then i have studying before i go to bed.
saturday started out bright and early with a trip to a little town west of atlanta. i had no clue it even existed. it was a fun trip. i went to meet up with my "friend" for birthday lunch with his family. that was an experience all in itself. i'm so thankful for the hilarious hibachi grill guy that we had. i've never laughed so much at a meal i don't think. it was fantastic. and apparently, i was on the 'liner' game… i was hitting them all out of the park. so now they think i'm really funny. boy, did i accidentally mislead them. yikes.
but yay for good times and laughter, even with long drives.
saturday night i headed up to the lake. i love the lake. something great lies there. i swear. it's intense. as my grandmother says, 'to me, the lake is God's peace at work.' i don't know if i could have said it any better.
sunday morning, i got up and went to church with my 'friend.' it was great. i love small congregational worship services. they are so intimate. plus, i landed in on communion sunday. that made me so happy. communion has such great community throughout the UMC. it's so great. after church, lunch, and then a great hour and a half nap on a leather couch. it was super.
youth was sunday night. it was a great lesson in theory… but i had my issues with it. and i chatted about them with my 'friend.' totally personal issues… even though the lesson itself was fabulous. it was on tragedy. talking about big things like that bring up a really hard semester for me… and i usually zone out. i don't like doing that. so, i had to spill all of that.
i headed back to the lake way late. in fact, i had to be super quiet… i found a place on the leather sofa and snuggled in for some sleep. however, the entire family was over… and so they got up around 6… i had gotten in around 2. so i had to go ahead and get up. but, no matter… i took another hour and a half nap after breakfast… which i must admit, i've never eaten so much breakfast in my life. ugh. my stomach wasn't too happy.
after the nap, i made plans for the afternoon… i headed out to the pontoon boat for a lake ride. great times. i love my family… they are super. times like that are so appreciated.
when i got back, i got ready to head up to visit with my 'friend.' at this point, the fam decides to put me into firing squad mode. it was almost unbearable. but, i made it through.
i went up and saw 'napoleon dynamite.' great great movie… heckyeah. i don't know if i've ever laughed so much at a movie. and i'm not really sure why i laughed. in fact, none of us could really quite pinpoint it. it was just completely… yeah. so funny. go see it.
i came back and hung out for a bit, and we headed to get dinner… still laughing about the movie 2 hours later. then, i headed home.
now i must study. i have school tomorrow… and i need some major sleep… but it was a great comfortable weekend. now i'll be waiting anxiously for saturday… yay for that. and yay that baby kate will be born soon.
ok. study mode… now. love you all… g'night.
among other things
well, i've officially got nothing to show for my day. i had a lot planned that i needed to do. and it didn't get done.
the only productive things i can account for are: lunch with holli, attempted girls night out (which was postponed due to my "run-in" with the law), and dinner. and those really aren't productive.
today i had planned to finish up my homework so i could play all of my labor day weekend, clean my room and bathroom, and go to bed around 9 p.m. but i didn't do any of that. 0 for 3 is pretty bad.
i have to get up at 6 a.m. tomorrow… not excited about that, but i'm excited about why. i'm headed to georgia. should be a fun trip! i'm ready for it. well, sort of. i'm still a little nervous about driving after today… that and meeting some intimidating people. but, i think i'm up for it. well, maybe still not the traffic part.
today was a madhouse via interstates and major highways. i didn't like it at all. twice today i hydroplaned into other lanes, but luckily i didn't hit anyone. i hope and pray the road to atlanta will not be filled with any crap like that tomorrow. if it is, i will seriously cry.
it was just not my day today, obviously. and now i'm tired, cranky, and i feel so unproductive. not a good way to go to bed before a fun-filled weekend that should be great already.
lunch was good today though. i really needed it. i had a blast. we had our 'cult'stone today. woohoo. my favorite ice cream guy was there today. he sings so well. the vestavia city center coldstone is my favorite. it's much better than hoover. so yay holli… and yay for yay. ha ha ha.
girls night was postponed on account of my evening. i was so excited about going to see 'napoleon dynamite.' i guess it will have to wait. hopefully it will be out a little longer. i want to see it way bad.
i'm going to bed. my brain is fried, my nerves are shot, and my eyes are burning with exhaustion… geez. that sounds like i'm falling apart. wouldn't that suck?
love you all out there… have a wonderful labor day weekend. g'night.
never thought i'd see it
well, today is a first. it was out of hand. and now… now i have some new life experiences to add to my book. and you'll probably never believe that it actually happened to me… but it did.
don't let anyone tell you that the inside of a cop car is cool. let me tell you it's not. not at all. especially when the guy driving the cop car that your in is a 6 ft 2 in. 250 lb. black man. talk about intimidating. i was crying the whole time.
which leads to why i was in the cop car. i hit a policeman. yep. i did it. and not just your normal policeman… he was a narcotics cop. i don't feel bad about it, and i still don't know how it happened or where it came from. it just did. the cop basically ran into it. he could have avoided the situation… but he didn't. the recording policeman says that it's my fault. here, i can really quote that 'i fought the law and the law won.' apparently, it usually falls in the favor of the policeman.
i didn't do too much to the guy. just a little scratch from what i could have done.
did i tell you that he was undercover? yep. undercover. and i didn't know it until afterwards. that's an even bigger bummer. apparently, he was on the clock. so, that blew his whole assignment. and it made my situation even worse.
<lj-cut text="where do i go from here?">
i'm at home now though. i didn't get into too much trouble. why? well, i was in the cop car in the front seat telling what happened when i had an auto accident with an unmarked and undercover police vehicle. aren't you glad to know it? and you might have thought i turned crazy.
it's arguable who's at fault in the accident. but we'll see what the report says. there's very minor damage to the cars. i did mess up the assignment… i put him behind. i did fell bad about that. the 2 narcotics cops that were there were telling me about a bust they did this morning, 12 automatic AK-47s in a house. yikes. they also told me about the guy they killed that attacked them. at this point, i'm feeling a little intimidated.
2 times today before, my car hydroplaned and almost hit other cars. my luck came on the 3rd try. as a result, i'm sitting my butt home tonight and going nowhere. because now i'm completely freaked out about driving. i'm supposed to be all over the highways this weekend. i'll have to make myself tomorrow i guess. but i'm sure i'll be a little terrified.
so, now the taurus has a few dings in the left front fender. it's got a busted headlight too. but, it's still drivable. and for that i'm thankful.
</lj-cut>
at least i didn't shoot the sheriff. that could have been even worse. 
all i can say
wow. great day today. just great.
i had an appointment at 9 a.m. at uab with someone in the arts & humanities department… i'm looking in to see exactly what i need to do to transfer. the drive is about to kill me to tuscaloosa. i'll be sad to leave, but i just can't afford the commute… and i can't afford to live there either. so, this is my option. but, there's a pretty good chance i will graduate on time. so, that's really great.
after that, i went to lunch with my mom at chili's. lately, i don't know what's up, but i haven't been hungry hardly at all. it's starting to worry me. i'm afraid i'm getting sick. i haven't been sleeping well either. but, oh well. so i had lunch with her, and we chatted about tons of stuff. from there, i headed to trinity umc for an meeting with the children's minister.
and now, i am the newest employee of trinity's parents day out program. woohoo. less hours, better pay than my previous job. and, i'm working with kids. so it should be fun. i can't wait. i start next wednesday. and i'm so ready for it. fun times.
while i was there, i saw laura eanes… that's always fun. i love laura. she's fantastic. then, i saw leah collins, and she told me that timmy was in the building! in fact, she went down and sent him upstairs! it was so fantastic! i talked with him and andy cartee for a little while. catching up… it was just… great. yay for timmy.
i then headed back over to uab for another appointment with someone in the education department. after that meeting, i've decided that i'm going ahead and finishing my BA in spanish, and then i'll do my certification. i can start teaching even while doing my certification. it should be great. wahoo. but it was still helpful to see what i need to finish up with.
tonight was also the first night of disciple. and i have it with amy! boo that she felt bad tonight, but i'm excited about what is to come in disciple. it should be awesome stuff. yay.
i feel so choppy today. i guess it's because of the excitement. this has been a great week in general. yay for wonderful weeks. that makes me happy.
ok, i've got homework to do. so i'm out. have a great night. love you all… g'night.
