Good afternoon everyone! Hope the day is going great. Its been rainy here all day, a day for my rainboots! wahoo! if you still dont have any, you better do yourself a favor! One of these days, you'll thank me. As far as new news goes, i have really have nothing. I have 3 tests next week so i have been doing a ton of studying for that, so not too much time for fun. However, tonight is the night for half price burgers at this really great burger joint across the street from campus. (Dutch's is the name, great burgers and fries is the game) This place is DELICIOUS! I get the same thing every week--a bacon, blue cheese burger with no lettuce. yummy! Come to Fort Worth and i'll take you there! Its one of a kind!
Who watched Jon and Kate plus 8 last night?! You better be raising your hand! It was such a good one! I just cant get enough of those Gosselin's. While i was watching it i was trying to put myself in that position and imagine my family in a tent, in the backyard, in the rain, pretending to have a good time. Boy would that be a sight. One time we went on a camping trip and it was probably the most traumatic experience of my life. (mom, i think you know where this is going. and no its not that subway story. That's another traumatic time in my life all together.)
One time when i was probably 6 or 7, the fam packed up the car and headed to some mountain in the middle of nowhere (i have tried to block out this time in my life as best as possible so the details become a little fuzzy) with a group of family friends who all had kids about the same age as me and my brother. We stayed in tents, ate from those little portable stove things and walked to the out-house to go pee. That was where i thought it hit rock bottom. But, boy was i WRONG. One fun day activity, involved all of the boys to go fishing to catch dinner (which mind you was what i voted for doing but was quickly out voted by all of the boys) and the girls to go horse back riding. This was where the traumatic times begin. I have never been so horrified in my life. Here i am, like 6 years old, riding this HUGE horse, straight up some random mountain. I hated my life that day. Oh and not only was it musty, hot, and raining im sure, that damn horse wouldn't listen to a word i was saying or single signal i was putting out. It just did whatever it wanted to do, probably knowing full-well that i would NEVER ride a horse again. Well it was right. I'm still nervous around horses. Thanks dumb pony. All i wanted to do was go fishing.
Ok, so then it gets even better. The next days activity was to go white-water-rafting. Baha. Could you see MY parents, with me in the middle of a CANOE that was definitely not suitable for this type of adventure? Whoever said that was a good idea probably got a good laugh out of it. I, however, did not. I screamed the whole time, got all wet, and then we proceeded to get stuck in some tree hanging over the side into the river. Oh. My. Gah. really, parents, really? Never again. I wish Jon and Kate had been around when i was little so my Family Clan could have seen that and camped in our backyard instead of the middle of God-knows-where. Maybe to this day i would be able to ride horses and enjoy camping/canoing (which i think is spelled wrong, but i cant figure it out..). We'll never know :)
Im off to study, then dinner! Hugs and Kisses everyone!!

Guess I'll have to get a new TV?
good afternoon world! i dont have much time to chat but i just wanted to put a few things out on the table:
1. thanks mariann for the package!! i got it today and its great! im already wearing the pjs!
2. still havent seen any signs of the hurricanes here in Fort Worth yet.
3. Have you heard that the new one is named Hannah?! wahoo! (well im not sure if thats a good thing or bad...i guess if youre the track of the storm then it might be bad, but it kinda makes me smile to hear my name on the news so much. even if it is spelled wrong.)
4. i almost threw my tv out the window last night, and i think you all know why.
5. i got a job today! i will be the newest employee of Samuelson dorm building. if you have any questions or want to send a package to some random kid in that building then im the one you need! i will be starting on Monday and working Mondays and Thursdays from 3-7pm. I'm a working girl now! :)
Other than that, nothing is new. classes are going pretty well even though they are getting busy. I miss you all and cant wait to see everyone!
So now here is what you all have been waiting for; a little revisit to number 4 on my list. Hm. where to begin? well let me just say this. I didnt really love her (and by love her i mean i couldnt stand her by ANY MEANS) prior to last night's speech but after that, woah. i dont even know how to describe my feelings. i have never been so angry at someone i dont even know that i was actually sort of embarrassed at the fact of my rage. Here's why:
ok, so the National Convention is supposed to be the time in which the person(s) that has been chosen by the people to represent their party accepts the nomination and gives a great speech about how you should vote for them and blah blah blah. its supposed to be a time for introducing yourself to the world as well as your family, spouse, what have you. also, it is the time for you to discuss what you and your running mate are going to do if elected and how great your term will be. Sarah Palin did these things but did alot more. Alot more things i could never see a woman (or man for that matter) doing when running for such a high position. The woman is one 72 year old heart beat away from the most influential person in our government and she spent 2/3 of her speech bashing Obama. Now it doesnt matter what party you are for, democratic or republican, but from my point of view, i would much rather have someone who takes the high road and puts themselves up higher than bashing every one around them. I was completely appalled and embarrassed for her that she said some (actually alot) of the things she said that were condescending to not only Obama and Biden, but to the people of this country. I could never in a million years be one of those women who stood around holding up a "Hockey Moms for Palin" sign and be proud of myself. Really Sarah, really? Take the high road.
But thats my rant for today. Im sure theres more but my brain is just so jumbled that i cant even remember all of the things that went on. If you are a Palin supporter, im terribly sorry but i just had to get it out there haha. i promise that this is the end of my rants...for now :)
good, positive, happy things to come!! love you all!

Good friends just dont let you choose dumb running mates!
I know, I know. its been 7 months since i wrote on this thing but i figured now that I'm back and school and everything is sorta starting to fall into place and i have a regular schedule again, i would write on this thing. and with all of the big to-do going on in the news these days, i figured i should get my two-cents in this busy blogging world. so here it goes. a quick, little "catch-up" if you will:
1. I'm back at TCU for my sophomore year (my third semester as a Speech-Language Pathology major)
2. I have a new dorm (pictures to come)--i just got my bedding in the mail today and it is in the washing machine as we speak. so, as soon as its done, ill put it on and take some pictures!
3. I have 3 other roommates. I know that is an odd thing to have while still living on campus in dorms but you know TCU (well you may not but..), always ahead of the curve. I live in a room with my old roommate from last year, a girl that lived across the hall from us last year, and another girl who is new to the mix. We all have our own bedrooms with FULL SIZE beds (no more awkward twin beds for this college girl!), where we share two bathrooms and a living room. This building is so great. i mean they clean the bathrooms once a week for us, for goodness sake. could it get any better?!
4. I made it through my first summer back at home since going to college. You know how when you graduate from high school and they say all that about how you better live it up that summer because you are going to lose friends from high school and things will never be the same? bullshit. i was closer with my friends and family this summer than i EVER have been. high five summer '08!
5. Barack is still the shit.
6. rainboots still kick ass.
7. all of my favorite shows are back this week! well not all of them, but a good portion.
8. Jon and Kate Plus 8 is still on the air and will probably be on well into Barack's 2nd term :)
Hm...other than that, nothing is new.
Oh wait, that whole Sarah Palin mess. Really McCain, REALLY?!! What in god's name were you thinking? Sometimes i feel like he stands around in the mirror at home and practices his ideas for campaigning and then high fives him self. He must not have any true friends...good friends dont let you pick dumbass running mates. I betcha if McCain had Oreo in his tooth none of his so called "friends" would even tell him. What kind of people are these advisors? Ugh. I was doing a little research on this whole Palin family and found her precious little daughter posted up on some website boozing it up. Isn't she pregnant? hm...good call momma Palin. Notes to you parents out there from my perspective, ask your kids what they're doing. If they say "well mom, drinking and having unplanned babies," DONT RUN FOR VICE PRESIDENT! I mean its just a suggestion. I feel like she needs to get her fam back under control before she decides to be one step away from the most influential person in government. And another thing, you know how i feel about kids. Not only just kids in general, but kids with special needs. they are amazing, hands down. But, i know for a fact that I would much rather spend my time with my new born special needs child and with the one my daughter has on the way than be posted up at the white house, doing god knows what and staring at the wall pretending to fix things. But i guess, once again, thats just me. you are all entitled to your own opinion, but research it first before deciding. Dont just watch Fox news (which is where you went wrong) and do what they do. read up on your picks. you still have a little time before the big day. so get with it!
its good to be back! and i'll keep on writing! much love from tejas!
