Something To Look Back On: class

I said I would post today, didn't I? It's a proud moment.

The rest of yesterday was good, besides the fact that I only saw Chris for about forty-five minutes. He came over before work, but I ended up going to the bowling alley around six to visit him and my mom. When I got home, Dad had some of his delicious chili ready. It was great! Then I watched the season finale of "10 Things I Hate About You." The show is extremely lame, and I don't know why I watch it, but I do. So I enjoyed the finale! Now I just gotta wait until it starts back, which won't be so bad because The Secret Life starts in about two weeks. Super pumped. After I watched my show, I headed back to the bowling alley. I was there for about an hour and then Dad and I just decided to bowl. We did the 9 - 11 $8 bowling. I did so much better (excluding my last game). I bowled a 109, 120-something, 144, and a 100. I averaged 125 my first three games! I was so proud. I think my arm was just tired the last one. I had a lot of fun though. Chris got off shortly after, so he and I watched The Unborn on demand. Well, he watched it. I had my eyes covered the whole time asking him what was happening because I didn't want to have nightmares. Once he left, I thought I wasn't going to be able to sleep that night, but I did. I actually thought about it more this morning as I got ready than I did last night.

Today I got up bright and early to get ready for my first day of summer classes. Part of me is regretting this decision only because I've lost some of my summer time now. But I know I'll be happy I did it during the school year when my work load isn't so heavy. Just one of those things you have to keep on reminding yourself about. I ended up getting there an hour early, of course. I just walked around and enjoying the weather. I brought a Sudoku to keep me busy, too. The class itself is incredibly boring. My professor gets on a soapbox about something every two minutes, but whatever. I only have three tests and they are essay and short answer! That stinks. Good thing Chris will be having to study too. This way we can get work done. I hope it won't be too bad. After class, I met Dad at his work and we went this place called Peyton's Place for lunch. It was wonderful! I had meatloaf (not nearly as good as Dad's!), rice, mashed potatoes (not like Grammie's!), green beans (not like G's), and cornbread. It was all great though, and I will definitely go back. I'll get a meat and two next time though. I was stuffed before I got to finish. He and I are going to have lunch together on Tuesdays, so that'll be nice. Especially since there are a lot more places there than here. I visited Chris at the bowling alley before I came home. I hung out there for a bit. Since I've been home I haven't done anything productive, and I don't mind! Chris is coming over when he gets off, and he and I are going to be studying. I have a lot of history to read before class Thursday.

So, I want to get back to my bullet making that I had done originally when I started this blog. Today's bullets are going to be of the movies I want to see on demand with Charter. I went through all the movies yesterday and made a list of the ones I want to see. On demand is so cool because I can just watch movies on there for free instead of having to rent them. So here's my list:

A Beautiful Mind
He's Just Not That Into You
Hotel For Dogs [can't see it now, it expired yesterday!]
The Unborn [check!]
Bedtime Stories
Julie & Julia
The Ugly Truth
Up
17 Again [check!]

I think I'll do a little review on each of them, too. Which! I can already do since I've seen two already! I'm sad I didn't get to see Hotel For Dogs, but fortunately, Bek owns it. She and I will watch it soon, I'm sure. Now to the review!

17 Again: the first movie I marked off my list. This movie starred Zac Efron. It was about a man who was having problems with his family. He thought these problems were caused by his decision to propose to his girlfriend and quit basketball, rather than get a scholarship. As the title suggests, he went back to when he was 17. The movie was pretty funny, but definitely had some unexpected parts to have several different Disney characters in it. It was good though. It was cute, and it had a happy ending. We all love those kind of movies, right? I give in about three (out of five) stars.

The Unborn: this is a movie about this a girl who choked her twin in the womb with her umbilical cord. The story started off being creepy from the start, which is why I ended up with my eyes covered for at least 45% of the movie. I just didn't want to see creepy faces and such that I knew I would see the second I closed my eyes to go to sleep. The ending was semi-predictable (as with most scary movies), but I guess the movie itself was okay. I generously give it about 2.5 stars.

Well there are my professional reviews on the movies. Haha. Not much of a review, I know. Chris is off now, but he has some things to do at home before he comes over, so when Dad gets home I'm getting fish sticks! Yay! I already pre-heated the oven. Those things are so darn good. Speaking of good food, I've decided to try to be healthier for now on. Not necessarily healthy, jut healthIER. Chris keeps bugging me about going to the gym with him, and I think I might. But don't you dare make any jokes about it yet; I haven't committed to it as of now. I also want to try not to eat as much junk food, which will be hard since I'm home all day with a pantry with food like mine. Like I said, I'm gonna try.

Don't know when I'll update again, but I'll do it as soon as I can!

-peace.

I tried starting this post last Thursday, but things kept happening. I've been busy, plus it would not let me upload pictures, so I gave up. It's now Sunday, and I am determined to finish this TODAY. So let's get started.

Last Friday: Class. Came home. Hung out with Chris before work. Ate with Mom at Longhorn. It was awesome. Longhorn is definitely my favorite restaurant, along with Outback, Olive Garden, and Moe's. I really don't remember much else. I know that I said more when I started this post Thursday, but I don't remember what it was. Sorry. I do remember staying up until 3 AM. Oh wait! I remember more! I went to Viv's house. We played SingStar Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Queen, and ABBA. Talk about some fun. We had fun singing the usual songs, but when we busted out the Queen, it was HILARIOUS. I've never had so much fun singing "We Are the Champions." It was definitely a laugh riot. After I left her house, I stayed up lacing my shoes. I have twelve different pairs of converse, and twelve different laces. So I laced them all. It was time-consuming, but at least my shoes are unique now.

Last Saturday: What a fun-filled day! I was busy practically all day, but I don't mind. I finished off my shoes. I had like four more to go that morning I think. After getting ready, Chris and I headed to Laine's wedding. She is now a Barber. It was a nice, small, outdoor wedding. Just close family and friends. The weather was kinda crazy: full of wind and almost rain, but the sun shined some, too. The reception was at the same place, so we stayed there for a bit. We watched some dances and talked and finally left. Afterwards, we just hung out until Chris had to go to work. Once he left, I got ready for pictures with Ashley! She took pictures of Viv, Bek, and me. It was tons of fun. We had about four different outfits and went to the railroad tracks and to ASF in Montgomery, which is beautiful by the way. So that was lots of fun. Viv and Bek played "Sweet and Sour" with people on the interstate. It's where you wave to people driving by and see if they wave back (sweet) or if they don't (sour). It was fun. Then, I stayed at home waiting around for eight so I could go to Melanee's. Mel, Zach, and I watched The Skeleton Key in her shed. They made it all cool. Her little brother came knocking on the outside and freaked Mel and me out! It was lots of fun, even though I screamed practically the whole movie. I was basically lying on Melanee from scooting over and freaking out so much. Then we chilled and watched How to Lose a Guy in 10 Tens for a while. I then went home and rested (around midnight)!

Last Sunday: I wish I could say that I went to church, but that wasn't going to happen considering the amount of sleep that I had gotten over the past two days. It was not enough to be able to stay focused at church. So I slept until, like, eleven, which is unusual for me, but I liked it! Then Chris and I hung out. I don't remember where I ate all weekend, which is good. Now I don't sound like I do nothing but eat, haha. Let's see... I don't remember much else. Chris had to work that night. Oh! I did go bowling. That was on... yeah.. Sunday! Go me. I didn't do good though, at all. I haven't bowled since February I think. Needless to say, I need to get back to practicing regularly.

Monday: Hung out with Chris in the morning before leaving for school. Unfortunately (kind of), the weather was bad, so I ended up not leaving until about one o'clock to avoid the storm. I missed class, but Laura said she'd let me copy her notes (we were only reviewing for the final anyway, so I didn't miss much). When I got to Auburn, I don't remember what I did. I do know that this week was full of studying because of finals. Oh, and Melanee was gone all week. So I was pretty bored.

Tuesday: DEAD DAY. Thank goodness. That means there are no classes or anything. It was nice. I studied some. Chris came up. He and I ate at Wendy's and then went to go see Oceans. It was interesting. He left, I studied more. Then Mom came up because she had to work in Opelika that next morning. Also, there was some recall on my windshield wipers, so she was going to get that checked out, too. She and I went to O`Charley's. It was delicious. We also went to Target to see if they had this basket that I really want, but they didn't. Then we went back to the dorm and chilled.

Wednesday: Mom took my car that morning while I did some last-minute studying for my history final at twelve. She got done early enough that I got my car back before my final, so that was nice. I asked her to stay until I got out so we could eat lunch together, so she did. My final wasn't too bad, but it was definitely the hardest test we've had in there. Thank goodness that is over! Once I finish history this summer, I won't have to take it anymore! Hallelujah! I had forgotten my phone, too, which is the craziest feeling. I had no idea how empty I feel without it. It's sad really, but I just felt disconnected from everything. Thankfully, someone in the class let me borrow their phone to call Mom to tell her I had forgotten it. When I got out of my final, I headed down the stairs to meet my mom outside the Student Center as planned. Well, to my surprise, there apparently was a huge spill of coke directly outside the door for the stairs. I did not see this, of course, so my feet fell out from under me, and I busted my butt in the Haley Center. I was embarrassed, to say the least. I got up faster than I thought I ever could and repeatedly said to myself "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry..." I rushed out the door and pretended like no one saw me, which is possible because about only two people were out at the time. I found Mom and told her what happened, and I still didn't cry. What a miracle for me, the cry baby. We went to CFA and ate with Ian and Jordan because they were there too. We bought stuff at Outtakes, and then she left. I just hung out at the dorm. Ian invited Zach and I to some shrimp thing at the park with this Christian group on campus, so I went. It wasn't exactly the highlight of my day, but I didn't want to say no. Afterwards, I packed a lot. Cameron and I talked some. Kailey left. What a detailed day.

Thursday: My geology final wasn't until four, so I studied throughout the day. Mel came back when I was in the shower with the door open. She scared me so bad! I just ate lunch at the dorm because I wanted to study. I put all my stuff in my car and then headed to my final. I wasn't stressed until I got into the classroom, then I freaked out. I eventually calmed down. I felt like I did okay. I found out earlier in the week that I had ten points of extra credit which went on to my FINAL GRADE. Are you serious!? This chick is awesome. I think that's partly why I wasn't so stressed. I then hurried home to surprise Chris (it was our ten monthiversary!). I got home, changed into my cute new dress from Delia*s, and put on makeup. I slipped up a little on the phone with Chris, but I made up for it. Then I went to the bowling alley and surprised him and my dad. It was so fun. I ate some good 'ole bowling alley food. It's just one of those things you need every now and then. I stayed with Chris during both leagues, like I usually do when I'm there. Then went home and slept!

Friday: Hung out with Chris. I really don't remember doing much. Dad took my car to Montgomery to get the windshield wiper thing fixed (they didn't do it in Opelika). We ate CFA. It was a nice relaxing day. Then, at five, Mom picked me up to go stay the night at Grammie and Papa's. We were ready to eat right when we got there, but we were going to go to a place called Oskar's. When we first got there, Papa told me about some baby birdies he wanted to show me outside. He went to go check to see if the mom was there while Mom and I gave Grammie her Mother's Day present. Papa called for us to come out, and you won't believe what I saw. Something much better than baby birdies (no offense, birds). IT WAS A BLACK 2010 CAMARO. I freaked out. I seriously didn't think that it was mine. I didn't know what to say, and I couldn't move. It was a feeling that nobody can ever understand. I held back the tears of joy because we were about to eat. Papa took pictures, and I stood there in shock. Finally, they told me to sit in it, so I did. I still didn't think it was mine. I wanted it to be mine, but I didn't want to get to excited thinking it was mine and find out that it wasn't. They told me to drive it, so Mom got in and I drove around the neighborhood. I was speechless. I still didn't know what to think. When I got back I said thank you a hundred times, took a picture with it to send to Chris, and then we went to eat! The place was pretty good. When we got back, my mom drove it around while we jammed. It was lots of fun. Then, we chilled at the house and went to bed.

[Note: this means that all those things about working in Opelika and my windshield wipers were lies! Can you believe it? But it's okay with me, considering the circumstances.]

Saturday: Got up, ate breakfast, hung out for a bit, then Mom and I went home. It was a nice morning. When we got home, we set up the OnStar, then Mom left. Dad drove Chris and I around for a bit and we ended up seeing some of my cousins outside, so we talked to them for a minute. Then, Chris and I went to the store and then got McDonald's for the three of us. We hung out until he had to leave for work, and then I was bored. I tried to get people to come over, but it didn't work out. I went to Melanee's for a bit and ate dinner with her family. It was nice. The chicken was delicious. I then just hung out at the house and watched some TV until I fell asleep.

Today: Went to Destiny. It was nice. I missed going there, I'm glad I'll be back for the summer soon. We then went to the house and chilled. Chris and I watched The Pebble and the Penguin, one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. It was fun to watch. Then we just chilled until he had to leave for work. Then Dad got me and him some Sonic, and then I got ready to leave for school. It took me longer than expected, but I finally got it all done. Now I'm up at school about to eat dinner. I love my car. Every time I'm outside I look at it about a hundred times. I love it!

Well, Mel, Zach, and I are about to eat. Sorry for the length, AGAIN. I'll be studying for finals for two more days, then summer! So they won't be like this so much anymore. Have a wonderful evening!

-peace.
