Its THURSDAY!

...and thank god! I have had such a homework filled week! I am glad its over! Not having class on Friday is such a relief! This week was mid-term reviews...I don't have test, cause its art school, but I had portfolio and sketch book reviews...And had a ton of projects and papers due at the same time! But its all done now...Just have one project to finish by wednesday. And I am staying ahead of the game from now on! I am going to start the assignments when they are assigned and not wait until 1 or 2 nights before they are due to start them..like I have been...its too stressful!

Sadly, my biological Grandpa committed suicide yesterday. I have never met him. I call the man that raised my dad "Grandpa." But he is still part of the family and its always hard to loose anybody. My dad is headed to California for the funeral on Friday, with his sisters. But to get a plane ticket on such short notice was expensive. About $600...plus a hotel room, and rental car...so I have to give him a ride to the airport from my apartment in the morning. That way he doesn't have to pay $60 a night to park there...and its about 13 mins from my place so its not bad. The whole situation gets my thinkink...I just don't understand suicide. There are so many more options and you hurt so many people. But it is a desicion that the person makes, whether it is the best or not it up to them to determine. Frankly I just cannot understand why or how any one could do it. I know people that have had to suffer loosing someone close to them due to suicide. Its not an easy thing to deal with...It just makes me think.................

Tonight Beth J is coming over. She hasn't seen my apartment. So she is going to grap Chilpotle after work...then we are going to check out some scrappin' store around the area. I have no money to spend, but I love to see what other stores are carrying and how they are merchandising their product...and get and idea of what is going well for them...and its always fun to see samples and etc. that they are making with the wonderful products that are on the market.

Saturday my mom and my sister are coming down to take the Antique Window class at my work. Its way cool! You take old (or new and make them look old) windows and do layouts for behind the panes and then put it all together and decorate the front of them...they look so stinkin' cool when they are all done...and then you hang it on your wall! It awesome...check out the Scrapbook Shop's website (that I am working on updating...link on the side bar)...On the classes there is a pic of one done by Rhonda Gowan, the designer of the class...its call "Window Pane of Memories"...

Then Saturday night it the Johnnies Tommies game...St.Thomas is a college by my apartment that my friend Emily goes to...and St. Johns is their rival school...and my friend Ashley and Clare go to St. Bens...which is the girls "sister school" to St. John's....(they are pretty much the same school...one for boys and one for girls)...but the football teams are playing at the St.Thomas Campus...so Ashley and Clare and coming down and we are all going to hang out...Then Abby is having a Halloween party!! So everyone is coming home for that! I get to see all my close friends from highschool that I havn't seen since homecoming! Like BETHANY! I miss her so much! We are like best buds!!....no...we are not "like" best buds...we ARE best buds! And I work on Sunday...so where does that staying on top of homework fit in there?.....that right...no where! I guess I will have to figure out where to sit down and work one it....Friday during the day should work...now I am just thinking out loud!

Anyways...I am still in love with Candy Corn, M&Ms, and peanuts! Its the best combo ever!

That be it! My life as far as the weekend is concerned...
Keep it real!
Peace out girl scout....

WHOO! Internet and randomness!

I got my wireless internet working!! We had been pirating our neighbors for a while...and we had gotten a modeum, but needed a CD to get it activated...and I finally got it going!! It is so much faster and reliable!!

Friday my mom, sister, Beth J, Erin (Beth's friend), Erin's sister, and me scrapped at The Scrapbook Shop (my work)....it was way fun!! I got most of my Circle Journal done that I am doing with my design team at Cropper's Cottage. I can't wait to get it back and see everyone's work and how they respond to it.

I had a ton of homework to do for this week...and did I do it? Nope...I never do! I always say..."I am going to get it all done early so the week will be easy"....but I never do! I always wait until the night before things are due to do them! I need to start being more on the ball!

I am really irritated by people who act childish...Grown ups need to ack like them! Sometimes I feel more mature than some adults...

I am in love with music!! I can't stop listening to it!! I have music on when I do everything!! There are so many talented artist and there are such great songs to listen to!! I feel really inspired to do a layout about my music!!

You know what else rocks?? Candy corn!! Especially when its mixed with M&Ms and peanuts! mmmmmmmmmm.....

Tomorrow is monday! That means Beth J and I do Ali's Challenges at the Shop! and get dinner! We had chili that Beth made last week...it was really good! Thanks Beth! :) and she convinced me to go for Hall of Fame...she is too....

I think thats about my life right now....again, I will try to be better about posting!! I am bummed that people are not blogging anymore (Cathy Z, and Rhonna F)...I promise I will keep my up!

Peace out girl scout! See ya on da flip side!

So Beth J wanted me to do another post....so here goes....I have been a bad blogger!

Well...lets see...I got my hair cut...I liked it at first...then I didn't like it...but now I cant decide....heres a pic....

School has been good...I have been busy...but I feel like things are starting to let up...I don't know why..maybe I am just getting used to the work load.

I have been doing Ali's Challenges...with Beth J on Monday nights...we have dinner and try to get the challenges done. I have them all mostly done...I have to journal yet in a few...but I will post pics as soon as I finish 'em!

I am going to visit my best friend Bethany....not Beth J...and different one...Beth S....not this weekend but next...She goes to the University of Minnesota Duluth! I havn't seen her in a while so I am super pumped! And I have 4 other friends that go there to...so it will be way cool!

I am going to Delano this weekend...My friends and I are going to Lake Rebecca Park to have a fall BBQ and play football...I cant wait! My friends are so cool! I am hoping to get some good photos!

It has been cold here! I don't want it to get cold yet! It actually snowed today!! I came out of class and there was snow on my car! WHY!?! Can't it just wait?!? Wait til I am ready! But Minnesota....what can you do?

I don't know what else to tell you about...I am ganna try to be better about blogging! And I have been sort of a stranger at Cropper's Cottage...my design team. I have been busy...but I am going to make time!

Mean People!

Why to people choose to be mean? Do they get joy out off putting other people down? What makes them choose to be like that?

I hate mean people! I wish everyone could just be nice all the time.

My sister is really bothering me. She is always in a negative mood. She always has something bitch to say...always puts me down....anything I like is 'gay'

Saying it....will typing it....just getting it out makes me feel better...I really hate that people are like that. Ok...so you don't have the same tastes in everything..but you are not always right. Can't you be open minded? If you don't like it, you don't have to be rude!

I am sorry...I needed to say something....tell someone....just get it out.
