T-shirts Much?

I don't want to go back to school!!!!!

Ok, yes I do.. but I'm really going to miss:

Not having to wake up early and walk across campus to class

Not having horrible tests to prepare  try to prepare me for Phamacy School

 

Baking

 

Having my mom cook whatever I want for dinner

My puppy

My big closet and own personal bathroom!

Free time.. and casual book reading

My family although I still see them almost all the time

Buttttt.... I'm really looking forward to:

Sharing a room with my fabulous roommate!

Moving back in the house with 85 of my closest friends

A schedule

Gossip Girl returning

Late night chats

House hunting with the roomies for next year

Every single thing about Oxford!!

I leave tomorrow which brings me to the title of this blog post. I've been packing all day since about 8pm. I've just about got it all ready to load up tomorrow as soon as church is over! What I have noticed though is that I have aquired over my college career about a milion t-shirts! Seriously!! It's a tab bit ridiculous.

Yes, my friends, this is a clothes basket filled completely to the brim with t-shirts... and thats not even half!

I promise I have not forgotten my password..

Although it may seem I have forgotten it.. I do indeed still know it! I have been super duper busy lately. Rush starts in a week and 2 days! I can not believe it.. I don't know if I'm ready for it to be over but I can not wait for it to start! I'm one of the few girls who actually does really really love rush!! I have two tests this week and the PCAT again on Saturday. I now wish I wouldn't have registered for it and just taken my first score. I'm way too busy to study for it and my score was ok the first time. O well, just maybe I'll pull something great out! For now, it's back to studying... I'll do a big catch-up-on-my-life post very very soon- promise!

In the past year...

Well Carrie I took your advice and copied your post! If you don't read this fabulous little lady's blog your really should start! She shares her life here. Seriously, go right now and read away!! Anyhow back to the past year..





In the past year, I have joinged the blog world!!! And I love it.. I'm a blog creeper if that's possible!

In the past year, I have lived my life in 4 different rooms! Yes 4... a dorm room, a sorority house room, my home room, and my summer house room. This includes a total of 6 roomates! Madison, Emily, Katie, Saralauren(x2) Madeline and in one week, Chelsie.

In the past year, I have been involved in a serious relationship, been "its complicated" as Facebook would say, and am currently a single lady.

In the past year, I have become independent, really.

In the past year, I have joined to iPhone generation and will never turn back!

In the past year, I have made new friendships and strengthened the old.

In the past year, I have struggled with my major.. with the difficulty of it and just the "do I really want to do this" of it.

In the past year, I was asked to be a MOH to my best friends since 1st grade.

In the past year, I have really felt old for once in my life. Nothing does it like your bff getting married and kids you vividly remember being born growing up.

In the past year, I have become obsessed with my teasing brush, hot rollers, and hairspray.. I barely go a week without using them all and I don't go a day without at least using one!

In the past year, (don't read this mom) I have probably lived at home for the last time, full time.
Sure I'll be there for Christmas break and possibly even part of a summer but never more there than anywhere else.

In the past year, I acquired a love for magazines. I like them all really, any kind will do!

In the past year, I've slowed down. I can't believe how fast my first 2 years of college have flown by! 7 years for pharmacy school doesn't sound so long anymore.. I only have 5 (kind of 4) left. A family will soon follow but no rush on that either anymore.

In the past year, I have become artistic.. or so I'm told. I still wouldn't classify myself as artsy but I do love my desk that I have made, and my canvases here and there, and my chest I have yet to write about. I really love to paint and pretend to be an artist.

In the past year, I have had the time of my life and I have been blessed beyond belief!


Last summer about this time... Miss yall!! :)
I'm sure there are so many more things.. many much more important than these that I am leaving out.. maybe I'll just have to do this again soon. You're right Carrie, it is refreshing! :)

Week Pre-PCAT

Summer in Oxford is just wonderful! I'm not too fond of my class but I love my free time. My roommates and I have done lots of lounging at various pools and have spent many hour on our front porch swing. My next week though will be very very studious. You can still be studious and go to the pool right?! I'll just be trading my usual People magazine for my PCAT study book. Yes that's right folks, I'll be taking the PCAT this Saturday. I also have an organic test Tuesday so I'll be hitting the books all week long. Blah..

This weekend was oh so much fun! A few of my friends and I attended a party at this fun little (big) lake called Pickwick! We jumped and slid and swam and just partied all weekend. I wish I had a few pictures to prove it but my camera charger has left me which also left me with a dead camera. Finding my charger will be one of my goals on Friday when I make a quick trip home for the day.
Back to the books for me..

finals are making me fat...

Along with finals come procrastination and also snacking! I have been doing alot of both of these tonight. The DG house had kool-aid packets which pretty much made my day! I've always been a kool-aid kid but it has been forever since I have had it... Yum! I've pretty much snacked on everything in the kitchen!! My fabulous roommate Saralauren just brought Em and I a surprise which has also made my day!! Gooey goodness of a chocolate chip cookie that you cook in the microwave and pour fudge on top!! BLISS!! Just what I needed to get back on task... well right after my blog post of course!

Notice the notes behind it.. definitely what we should be spending our time on.

AND- Avery had her first dance recital last night! I can not wait to see the video but I know she stole the show! Between her mom, other aunt, and I she has to have some dancing genes!!!

All my love,

Finals??

So it is the Saturday before finals. I'm sitting in the coffee shop where Em and I came to study. I am getting nothing done. I want nap and a sunny day. I am just in no mood to study and it doesn't help that my hardest test is on Friday and it's physics so its just a bunch of math problems. My other finals don't count anymore than regular tests and neither are cumulative. My motivation is out the window... at the moment I'm seriously debating changing my major. I do this periodically but this time it's for real... maybe.

Yesterday was our crawfish date party. A few of my friends and I decided to go dateless which ended up being a great choice! It was a very chill party and we had more crawfish that anyone could ever eat! Afterwards we went to Phillips Grocery for Whitley's birthday! It was alot of fun and we had planned to go out after but the day was long and it was storming so we opted to stay in for a lazy night.

This weekend has been and is supposed to continue to be all dreary stormy and tornado-y. This makes for great study weather except for the fact that it makes me want to nap... Always!

More Flakes?

So I didn't make it back to school for physics this morning! It felt like a waste to get out of my huge comfy bed at my house at 7 in the morning to drive an hour and 15 minutes for a 50 minute physics class where all the notes are online and attendance is not taken! See, not very logical! Instead I slept till 10 and took a fabulously long shower in my own shower.. without shower shoes.. and ate a big home cooked breakfast and took my time getting back to Ox for my ballet class. Have I said lately how I love ballet? I do, it's my favorite class! Its much better than genes or electrical currents or even Eskimos(anthropology)!I'm just not in the mood for school these days. My mom gets upset with me daily because she says I'm not serious about school. I think I'm serious just not necessarily passionate. I'm not sure if it's possible to be passionate about pharmacy when I'm only in the early stages...or if I ever will be until I'm working because it's just so terribly difficult and time consuming and life draining! AHHH!!! Well back to happy note or at least half way happy note, it's supposed to snow tonight and in the morning. I'm kind of over the snow now though because it's never deep enough to cover the dirt and we never get out of school for it! I do love to see big flakes fall though.. so if it has to snow I hope it's the big flakes!

Last Weekend Before Craziness

I've had a nice relaxing weekend. Excluding spring break and Easter weekend I don't have a free weekend until school is out. It's exciting in a way because springtime in Ox is the pretty much the best ever. I love love love afternoon baseball games and fraternity's spring parties are soo much fun! Anyhow with that being said Friday night I kind of layed low. Em Ellen Megan and I tried out a restaurant that is fairly new to Oxford. It's a sea food restaurant which can seem little sketch at first thought because we are no where near the coast. But we tried it anyway and it was pretty good. I got the tilapia and it was great! After that we just rented a movie.. horrible!! It was called "Invention of Lying" or something like that. The actors were good so we thought it had to be good but we were wrong! Then we called it a night. Saturday morning I took a practice PCAT. That's the entrance exam for pharmacy school. I'm pretty sure this was a waste of time but at least I can say I did it and am a bit ahead of the game. When that was finished I met my mama in tupelo for a little shopping. I've noticed lately that my closet is lacking in 2 areas.. business casual and just plain casual. Yesterday I discovered petite sizes yesterday. I usually shop at stores like Forever 21 or just around the square so length usually isn't a problem but yesterday since I was shopping for more dressy outfits in big girl stores I found it to be a problem. Everything was hitting be at or below the knee. I'm already short and when something hits me there I look even shorter!So we wondered to the petite section of Ann Taylor and everything was a perfect fint! Yay for grown-up clothes!! Last night we went out to eat for my step dad's birthday. He's not a usual step dad, he's pretty much my dad! He's been around since I was 5 and we love each other like the real thing!! Anyhow I came home from that and hung out with my mom a little bit then at about 10 went over to Megs for "just a few minutes" and ended up getting home at a whopping 2:45 in the morning!! We had alot to catch up on obviously! We always do. She'll be in Ox in a matter of months and I can't wait! This morning I went to my home church where I've gone since I could barely walk. Afterward we went to Mi Toro which is pretty much the only place people go after church to eat. You pretty much see the whole town there. This afternoon my mom and I attempted to watch a movie but I fell asleep half way though. I'll have to finish it later on tonight. This little glimpse of home makes me not want to go back to the hustle and bustle of school. This is a rare feeling these days. This semester I have really fallen in love with Ox. I've always loved it but this year I just haven't had any type of desire to leave it. Who wouldntwant to leave it? Minus a few my best friends are there, there's always something to do or a pretty sight to see. I really am not happier anywhere else these days... especially now that it's getting a little warmer! No worries, I'll be back in Ox tomorrow morning for physics! Bliss...

Spring Tease

Relief and Nervous. These are the two words I felt after my genetics test today. There wasn't quite enough time which makes me nervous about my grade but mainly I feel relief. I hate having a test hang over my head and it feels so good to have all my tests taken for a while. Today was a perfect day to be relieved. It was actually sunny and warm. Warm being about 45 which is warm compared to recent days. I just wanted to be outside all afternoon but it was bit chilly so instead of a walk around the square I opted for a drive. This is a tease that spring is here though I know it really isn't. There's still quite a few weeks before the pretty sunny warm weather is here!.. but I can not wait! Spring just makes everything better.. I'm not as stressed usually and I just want to smile. Its pleasant to be outside and fresh air is always a plus! And did I mention that SPRING PARTIES are almost here?? I love them.. they make me happy.. and they will be here before I know it! What's better than dressing up like a redneck and heading to a field party or competing against other sororities in dance and cheer competitions?! I personally live for the last two. I never quite got the dance and cheer out of my system in high school. All of that being said, I hope this nice weather sticks around for a while. Tomorrow night is date party.. the theme is Mardi Gras which should be fun! I can't wait to dance the night away.. hope my date is up for it!

2AM? Really?

Wednesday and Thursday I studied oh so hard for a terrible test that I would almost say I would have done the same on.. study or not. But either way Friday night I stayed up till a whopping 3:30 AM! That is super late for me. I honestly think the last time I was up that late was probably in New Orleans last spring for Sigma Nu formal. Oh what great memories I have from that trip! I'm so upset that as of right now I won't be attending a New Orleans formal this year! Anyhow back to subject.. After staying up that late I got up at 6:30 that next morning. I have NEVER gotten that small of an amount of sleep.. except for the night before Senior Year where we never even went to sleep! All of this for a stupid physics test that was soooo difficult!!
Thursday afternoon I went to Booneville for a hair appointment and to grab lunch with Megan. She has been begging for a meeting lately and I wasn't sure exactly why except that she missed me so terribly until we actually got to meet! We had a great lunch that ended with a trip to her car to get my birthday present. I had to open the card first. I didnt cry or even feel that overwhelmed at the time but now thinking back on it.. all those emotions are coming! She had written me this long letter that I will cherish forever asking me to be her MAID OF HONOR!! She included all kinds of memories we have shared like skinny dipping in my pool in elementary school all the way to making cheerleader for the first time together. We have so many memories together.. more than I have yet to make with anyone else! We have kept true to the statement.. BFF! I cant wait to start working on all of her wedding plans! This is sooo much fun already.. it's hard to believe it's getting closer to time to get married. Although it will be many many years before I tie the knot it's fun to think about and help Megan as her day gets closer!!
Friday afternoon a big group of "single ladies" went to see "Valentines Day." Seeing that movie really made me want to get flowers. However this is the first Valentine's day in years and years I haven't had a Valentine! I guess I will settle for buying my own candy and and lust over someone elses flowers.It's crazy how many couples I saw today.. just randomly strolling or sitting somewhere talking. Maybe next year...
Friday night.. Funky's called our names. A group of girls and I went out and danced and laughed the night away with only a small amount of drama from the opposite sex. All in all it was a fun night out that was greatly needed!
Saturday, today, for the most part has been totally worthless. Actually I take that back.. only worthless before 3PM. I attended a Valentines day party at Azalea Gardens, a local nursing/ assisted living home. There was a singer who played their kind of music and they even elected a king and queen for the day. How cute! When I left there I got a strange desire for a cupcake and decided to go on a hunt for one. None to be found in Ox on the Saturday before Valentines at 4. Sad. So then I came back with my slice of chocolate cake from Newks and got ready for my 6:15 appointment with Miss Lily. Lily is one of the kids at the nursery I work at on Wednesday mornings. Her mom needed a sitter for tonight.. and I had no plans so I decided it was a great way to spend my night. We played and played. I even crawled threw a tunnel to get in her tent that i could barely sit up straight in AND sang her requested "Amazing Grace" outloud to her before she fell asleep.(my voices is by far the worst you've ever hear! And no music makes it even worse that imaginable) The things you'll do for a precious little 2 year old... but hey It was fun! Now I'm back in my bed and ready for a great nights rest.. until tomorrow!
Since I've been slacking on my blog.. and this entry's kinda long anyway... and I got way off topic a few times I decided to add a few pictures from way back that relate.. and are a little funny!
This is the big group that stayed up all night before our first day of Senior year! That night was so much fun and I will never forget it!!!! Love and miss all of you!!

This is that same night.. or morning I should say.. about 5AM I believe!

And this is the NOLA trip I was talking about!! The night had just begun here..SOOO much fun!! :)

And last but not least.. in honor of being maid of honor. I found this on a dry erase board hidded in my room. This has been written for atleast 7 year.. I don't think I could ever erase it even if I wanted to! How funny were we! Look at those sayings! ha

Until Friday...

So I said that I would stay up to date on my blog this week but after realizing I have two tests this week I decided I would not allow myself to write untill Friday after my second test. This is my way of making myself stick to it.. by posting it!
I got my coat in!! I absolutely love it!! Its the prettiest "tiffany's blue" I would say! Its been soooo cold lately it came just in time! That's all for now.. back to studying and bed soon! I get to see my babies in the nursery tomorrow.. that always brightens my day!! Untill Friday.. Hope your week is Fabulous!!

My Unfound Desk

I know this is my third post today but I really have alot to say that has happened recently and I didnt want to combine it all to one extrememly long post. Its my last of the day... I think! ha Anyhoo.. I have been looking for a desk all Christmas break with no avail. I dont want just any desk.. I dont even want a brand new shiny desk. I want an old raggedy desk with drawers down the side.. kind of small. I want to make this desk mine. I plan on painting it with a whimsical feel. I want to put assorted knobs on its drawers and write inspirational quotes all over it!!It's going to get me through the rest of my college years. I'm a pharmacy student and if you dont have one in your life I will fill you in on my life. O wait, I dont have one when school is in. That may be a bit much I do have a small life but I also study and take tests and go to labs 80% of my waking day. I will spend many hours at my desk over the next 5 years so it's going to be a treasure I cherish. Well as soon as I find it.. I will love it!!
