| So it has been over a year since my last post. A lot has happened in the past year. Im still dating Jim, things are going really well with us. Im still at Wright State, got about two more years left here. I now have two Majors, accounting and Finance. School is going ok, I just want it to be over. Ok lets see, what are some big things at has happened in the last year. Last Spring quarter ended pretty good. My broken toe did finally heal, it took some time and the Doctor looking at my x-rays was having some problem seeing if it was healing right. I went home a lot last spring to get x-rays of my toe. I went home once in the middle of the week to see a specialist to make sure it was healing right. It was a lot of fun trying to get around campus. I have not broke any bones since then. I did finally get my one grade posted in about the fifth week of classes last spring. I worked last summer first shift at Tim Hortons. I had to be to work between 5 and 6 am. That was no fun, I was getting up and leaving the house before my dad got up for work. I got off work between 1 and 2pm. I do not like working fast food, the people I worked with for the most part were great, but the hours where really bad. And what they put us through there sucked too. Here is the sad thing, I went back there over my winter break, but that time I worked second shift, had to be to work at 2pm and got off between 7 and 10pm most nights, a few times I had to work till midnight. I enjoyed the people I worked with on second shift, but still hated what we went through there. My first day back was really bad, me and another person runing the store from 4 till 10pm, must times there is at least three people till 7pm, but not that night. The company party was that night and another store was going to cover so everyone could go, but they got there dates messed up and showed up the day before. I made it through both times working there, I dont really want to go back, but right now I dont have a summer job and I know they will let me come back and pretty much let me work when every and how much I want to. They all love me there and are happy to see me when I come visit. Fall quarter went pretty good, I got three A's and one B, not to bad for me. My GPA went up some from that quarter, but was still below a 3.0. Im still working on trying to get it to a 3.0, but not having much luck. Winter break was ok, worked must of it. Went to my brother's place for christmas, that was nice. I came down to school for about a week for some basketball games, that was a lot of fun. Winter quarter was a lot of fun, lots of basketball games. I went on three road trips. The first one was the bus to Bulter, it was not with the pep band. I had to pay $10 for the trip, but that was not to bad. We left in the afternoon, it was a 3 hour bus trip to Bulter, its in Indiana. The game started at 9pm, and then we left after the game, I got back to school about 2 or 3am, I dont remember, I just know it was really early. The next trip was with pep band, it was back to Bulter for the men's Horzion league tournament. Wright state came in thrid in the league this year. The plan for the trip was a little crazy and had us all thinking who ever made the plans were crazy. The plan was go to Bulter friday, a three hour bus trip and then come home after the game and if we won go back to Bulter the next day for another game. Well things got really crazy, this was back in the beginning of March. The plan was to leave middle afternoon to go. Well Friday morning it started to snow, classes got canceled for the afternoon. So we where not sure if we were still going. The call was made that we where still going. So I packed stuff as if we were staying the night, remember the plan was not to stay the night. We had to play Valparaiso in the second game of the tournament and we had not beat them yet, they are new to our league this year. Well we lost, and it was still snowing pretty good here in Dayton. There was just a little there at Bulter. So the call was made to stay the night. There was 5 students that came on there own and the athletic director Dr Q, told them they were staying, the school paid for there hotel stay. But two of them left without Dr Q knowing. We stayed in a very nice hotel that night, we stayed at a Sheraton hotel. The pep band, cheerleaders and the 3 studnet where in one hotel, the basketball team and Dr Q where in another hotel. Saturday morning we left there about 8am or a little earlier. It was not a fun bus ride home, it was snowing pretty bad, we passed a lot of bad accidents. It took about 4 hours to get home. I found out later that the basketball team had stayed another day and that we had left before Dr Q could tell us that we were to stay another day. Fun times there, Dayton ended up getting about 13 inch of snow that weekend. The finally road trip was also with pep band. It was a last second decision my our pep band diretor to go on this trip. When we got home from Bulter we were told we would not be going to the women's league tournment the next weekend. Well on thursday I got an email that said we may go up to Green Bay, Wisconsin on saturday for a game on sunday if the women won there game up there friday night. A couple of hours later I got another email saying that our dircoter had been asked very nicley if he could get the band to go up for the Friday game. So about 12 band memebers wnet up to Green Bay on Friday, it was a 10 hour bus trip, so boring and the really bad part of this trip was the cheerleaders were on the same bus with us, the Bulter trip the band had its own bus. We got up there a little later then what we thought we would and then we got last on Green Bay's campus, so we were late to the game. We won on friday and the host school lost there game, so we thought we had to go home because we were the highest seat left, but we did not, we played our game on Sunday in Green Bay still. So Saturday was a day of fun up there. I had a lot of fun. Sunday we played Cleveland State at 1pm. We lost that game. We left after the game was over to come back to school. Finals week started monday. It took about 11 hour to get hour because the bus got lost on the way home somehow. I think we got back about midnight or so. It was a fun trip, but a little crazy at times. So pep band was a lot of fun and very crazy this year. Jim and I have been dating for about a year and 4 months now. He got to meet my mom's side of the family back in February, that was a lot of fun. He has about 2 more years left here and then he is going to a Seminary school to become a pastor. Things are going really good with us. He is a CA this year and is going to be a CA again next year(most school would call him an RA). It is now spring quarter, its going into week four. I have a lovely accounting exam on tuseday, I have been studying a lot for it today. Im going home next weekend. I am also going home May 16 and June 6 for some weddings. The second wedding im in. There is another wedding in May, but I dont have the money to go to it. Next weekend im not driving home, im going home with a friend, the other two times I am driving home. Classes are going ok so far this quarter, just keeping me pretty busy. I think that is about it for now, maybe my next post will be in less then a year. |
