The Town of Odyssey

I'm so excited. Tomorrow is my last day of studying and then on Wednesday afternoon after I'm done packing all my stuff up I get to buy SimCity 2013!!!!!!!!!! And then I get to move home. And then it's summmer!! And I'm going to go shopping for grown up clothes (because I'm not in 10th grade anymore and should actually dress my age) and then I get to hang out with my family and go to my sister's bball games and just have a bunch of fun... and I need to look for a second job too...

You mean SimCity 5, the one with all the problems?

Yep! I read all about the problems, but they seem to not be as bad as they were initially. The servers aren't as crowded and people aren't getting bumped off as much as they were when the game was first released. I've watched enough youtube videos of people playing it and now I want it!

Update on what's been happening.

I'm finishing my second semester at Jackson Community College on Wednesday. It's a blast. After one semester, I made the Dean's List and was nominated for a student excellence award that I'll be receiving this Friday. I'm not taking any classes over the summer but I'll be going back in the fall. My plan is to complete an associate's in business administration and then transfer for a bachelor's degree (possibly to Eastern Michigan University). I'm slowing venturing towards customer relations / relationship management.

I still love working in the photo / electronics department of Meijer. It's an easy and fun customer service job where I get to work really casually in a store where 90% of my coworkers are female. I was offered a full-time position within the store, but I turned it down because I really like my department. On Wednesdays I lead the bus ministry at my church. My youth pastor asked if I would get involved in it, and I took the offer because I love working with kiddos. I am personally responsible for 30-40 kids every week.

Next Wednesday I'll be driving to Nevada with my dad. We're making a random 10-day trip to take a handgun training course, and we are picking up my older brother in Colorado.

After I get back, summer will begin.

I'm pulling together my plans for the end of the school year. Hopefully I get graduation week off and get to see Panda for graduation.

I'm also spending my time in Boston tomorrow. It was meant to be a choir trip but a few teachers wanted the students to go for other reasons so we are basically shutting down the school. I'm not sure this is a good thing. I love class...

One more final and then I'm FREE! These past 3 days have been so stressful!

We are having a testing week at school Its so boring

I got a pretty bad sunburn yesterday playing volleyball and doing stuff outside

It was snowing yesterday so I did not get a sunburn. I just stayed inside all day studying for my final exam that I have in an hour... Nervous, but I'm just praying and hoping for the best.

Nothing like getting drunk on the living water of the Spirit with some friends, alli'msaying. Especially when it involves this:

I'm visiting my friends at my old university right now it's been great so far. Tomorrow is my last day though

Right now I'm in the library, about to watch a TV show.

I haven't posted much here lately... today I got an 87 on my physics test (last two I'd gotten 100's on), and an 89 on my math test. Just a few more weeks left...

went kayaking for the first time today I got soaked but we didn't flip the thing and I had a blast

I have deer eating grass in my backyard. They do a better job with the grass than the people that mow my yard.

When my mother told me that she was going to drop me off at the library for a few hours, I went ballistic with joy. I wish I could live there for my entire life, simply consuming books

Whew, I am very tired right now. I had a long day of baking yesterday, not sitting down once between 6 am and 4 pm, and then today was market plus a festival. Well, only my sister was set up at the festival, I just joined them for the afternoon after market was over.

In other news, Watson and I are currently in first place above CATSPAW in the ToO Hockey League. One more day left - we'd better hold on.

I found out yesterday that I'm going to South America for 3 weeks in May. It should be fun. I leave in like 4 days... Last minute planning FTW.

I have arrived home. My trip was great, but now my summer begins

I have one more week of regular school, then my jr/sr trip to Washington DC, then like 2 more weeks, finals, and school will be done for the year!

finals.

it's like a bunch of nerds thrown in an insane asylum with bubble wrap.

my brain is mush.
