Wow, I'm finally updating this after about two months. I guess I haven't found much interesting. anyway, we have had guests in our house since 15 minutes after I got home, so it's been a weird way to start the summer. Passed all my classes (I don't think most people are really concerned with passing, I think they really mean getting a 3.0 or higher in every class). For those of you who care, I got a 3.75 for the semester and am very satisfied with it.
Despite all the news about it being impossible for college students to find jobs, I got one today! Finally! I will be in retail once again, working at Dots. Change in location though.
To add to the excitement, I won a tv call in contest and will be going to see Rascal Flatts next Friday!!!! They aren't my favorite country band, but I like them! And its a free summer concert...indoor concerts just aren't the same...

Just another night
I was supposed to be in bed by now. Well, if you had asked me on Sunday (which is or is not yesterday, but technically its past midnight now, so, who knows), I thought I would still be up trying to come up with words for a Spanish paper. Fortunately, I talked to a boy who knows better than me, and it did not have to be as long as I had thought. I was getting the ball rolling with it though. Still..the thought of that long a paper in a foreign language intimiadates me more than a little.
Ive been hearing on the radio about this Stadium fest thing that's coming to Samford. A few major Christian recording artists are gonna be there, plus the event is gonna be free. Since its the day of AOII formal, going with Katie and Matt isn't an option, so I think I'm gonna try and volunteer. It should be a really awesome thing. Chris Tomlin and Jeremy Camp are the two headliners, plus some really awesome preachers.
Beach trip this Friday and Saturday. Can't wait. Matt is finding us a hotel tomorrow at work I think :-). I was so doubtful about this trip a week ago, now I'm stoked. I might complain about Samford, (never really about the location though), but this proximity to the beach is an awesome thing about going to school in the Deep South. (Think about that one Christa....I guess you have Lake Michigan...but you can't really swim or tan there). (Note to extended family: so far as I know Christa has not made a decision, I just can't think of anything in Nebraska to even compare to a beach...except the "coast" of Nebraska...no clue what that is, just that its a landscape on Oregon Trail II).
I would really love to get that babysitting job. Not even about the money, just that that baby is soooo precious. I would just love to get to hold him for 10-15 hours a week, whether or not I got paid.
Ok, I think I'm gonna give sleep another try now. Hopefully it works out.

Another try
So, I still haven't been able to put a picture up, I just haven't figured it out. Sorry.
Grades are going pretty good this semester so far...need to get more on top of Spanish stuff, but I'm in the same boat as the rest of my class, which is reassuring.
I had an interview for a babysitting job today. Posting about it on the internet may be bad luck. I think it went well, but there's one other girl up for it, and she may have more experience or availability than I do. However it goes, I got to hold an ADORABLE 4 month old baby today...he was just the sweetest thing ever. Reminded me of when I met Eva...he's in the spit-up stage, but so happy and so friendly.
My favorite people here and I are trying to plan a beach trip for next weekend. Weather isn't looking the best right now, but really, how accurate are 10-day forecasts. I still have hope.
I love my Samford people, but I'm ready for summer. 2 weeks til Easter though :-)...and only a month of school after that.

La Vida Después (de Step Sing)
Everything has been (relatively uneventful here). I don't know my housing situation for next year, and I know for a fact that I'm not doing anything with my friends for Spring Break, so its been a bit of a bummer for a while. Just hasn't been anything really blog-worthy I guess. Hmm...I studied more for my Spanish Literature midterm than I ever have in my life...that was fun...not. Went out to a Mexican restaurant last night for Jess's birthday...was able to not only order, but also got BigSteve help with the tamale he didn't know how to eat, and told the Mariachi band that it was "Yessica's" birthday--todo en español
Going home in a week--which is a blessing and a curse. Lots of people have their Spring break this coming week, so I don't think many of my high school friends, besides the ones that stayed in the area, will be home...lame.
On a completely unrelated note, Step Sing Videos are up!
Here's my show....there's only one part where you can really see me (In the song about the Prince's crown). I don't say this to be self-centered, I say it because the people who are reading this are mainly my family members, who would want to find me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQVj9bmOiqU
And here are the two guys shows....
PiKapp won the whole thing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-8f--4OqgE&feature=related
And Sigma Chi...they didn't win any awards, but they got me to watch Braveheart. Actually, I think they may have been disqualified from awards, because nothing is supposed to change in your show from the Saturday tech rehearsal all through dress rehearsals and performances....and tinkerbell...yeah, tinkerbell just came out on Saturday night.

I have a life now....
Step Sing is over. Wow. I'm kind of sad to see it go actually. Still no videos on youtube....hopefully soon. My show didn't place, but my favorite show (PiKapp) won sweepstakes. I just LOVE the boy shows....it is just so precious to see the boys up there singing and dancing.
What has taken the place of Step Sing in my life? Latin American Literature. I am about to spend the rest of my semester with "La Casa Verde" by Mario Vargas Llosa. And scholarly articles about it, some written in Spanish. Sigh. At least I'm knocking out one of my 400-level classes early.

First Try
Ok, so I made this blog thing about a week ago, but haven't actually written anything. Let's blame Step Sing--its the general excuse for life here at SU in the first few weeks of the semester. An even that is not only time consuming but very secretive...I haven't really been able to talk about it to any close friends except Leslie...but now that the world, or at least half of the Step Sing participants, have seen A Royal Life, I am free to discuss it. Hopefully the video is up on youtube soon so I can show it to yall.
Oh yeah, I'm taking classes too. Heres the rundown
1. Statistics-MWF at 10:30 (my earliest class, though I do have to work before it on Mondays and Wednedays). My prof does not seem that smart for having a doctorate in Math. However, I may be somewhat biased because my most recent math teacher was a GENIUS!
2. Intro to Sociology-Immediately after stats....the class that wants to turn me liberal. Hasn't worked yet.
3. Latin American Literature-Freedom and Repression. TR at 11-12:50 Not only poetry, but poetry in a foreign language. However, my profe y classmates are fantasticos.
4. Human Biology-Imm after Latin American Literature. Not my favorite class. And probably once again biased, but I think my high school bio teacher was better. And he didn't believe in evolution.
Thats all for now. Adios yall.
