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.

And here are the two guys shows....
PiKapp won the whole thing

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.
