What?!?!

This past Friday night I was chilling at home, still tired from my trip to California (although I didn't want to come back!), I was watching Miss Teen USA. Times have changed for these pageants. So here is a clip from Miss Teen South Carolina, who was in the top 5 and didn't place last either!

Year 1 DONE!

YAY...I'm done with my first year of OT school. It has gone by pretty fast and actually a lot of fun.
Lots of hard work...I don't think I have ever studied or worked this hard in school before. I guess I do want this ;)

I appreciate all the support I have gotten this past year. Especially those who came to visit or because was on the island stopped by to say Hello! You have no idea how much that means to me. It helped tremendously knowing that I can count on my family and friends. So don't go away yet. I still have another year!

and thank you God for being there even when I wasn't.

TOTs

Time to play another game of softball with the OTs...so far I have...

Game 1- not play, I let those more passionate than me play
Game 2- played, batted twice & hit twice- 1st ball advanced a player & I can't run fast enough so I got out. 2nd ball got caught by the pitcher who ran all the way over to near 3rd base to catch my ball. The pitcher seemed irritated with us the entire game.

My hopes is to play better since I really should be studying for my next final tomorrow.

Edit 10:11 pm- Game 3- I struck out the only time I was at the plate. I stink. The ball did come to me while I was in the outfield, and managed to get it to second but runner was already on base. Who wants to practice softball with me. I also have this habit of throwing the bat...gotta stop that. I'm gonna knock the ump out one day. We still have yet to win a game. We shall prevail!!!

the 26 club

welcomes Helen!
Happy Birthday =)

Maybe we should do this here in America...

Haha...kinda funny to me.
Although with finals...hence why I'm actually writing something...anything is funny.
I just have to make it thru Friday. Then I have officially completed my first year of grad school. That is if I don't fail any classes...

From paychee

For some reason it reminds me of the game assassin. But we wear ridiculous things to win something. I say we play it again...with these Hello Kitty armbands!

Yay Jenny =)

CONGRATULATIONS JENNY!!!

My darling friend is starting pharmacy school this fall...more drug dealing friends!
She's going back to UT Austin again...yay! Now I have another excuse to go to Austin =)

OU Sucks!

GO TEXAS!!!

Rain

I'm sure y'all have heard me talk about rain in Galveston. I mean for the first few months of me living here, all it did was rain on the weekends! Well it's been raining again here for the past week, well more. But it also has been raining all around Texas with floods happening, over flowing river banks, and shutting down of lakes. I mean it has to be a lot of rain for lakes to be closed to boats and what not, especially during July 4th! Anyway, the point of this post is Leah and I just went to Wal-Mart. I take that back, we attempted to get there. It was only sprinkling when we left the east side of the island. By the time 20th street came along it was pouring and sideways rain was happening. So I think we got to maybe about 35th Street, we called it quits. I turn the car around and headed back. As we approached 10th Street or so, it was sprinkling again. My guess is the west side of the island still had harder rain than the east. Who knows. I just know that I didn't want my car to get stuck in the water. It's a possibility here.

Flying contact

I can't remember the last time I lost my contacts or dropped them without being able to find them again. I'm pretty klutzy as most of you know. I was taking out my contacts tonight and as i was putting the cap back on one side, the contact case slipped out of my hands. The other side's cap was not on so it flew out. I looked all around my sink and floor and found nothing. It's not as if my bathroom is all that big either! Man, I just got out this pair 2 weeks ago! Sucks. I don't have eye insurance so I try to keep my monthly pair as long as I can before switching them out. I guess this one will have to make it longer than usual!

Mosquitoes

I absolutely hate them...I really don't know who would like them. Last year when I first moved to Galveston at the end of August, the mosquitoes didn't seem so bad. I really didn't get bit or saw them much then. However, these past few weeks have just been awful! They're everywhere, and I'm their food! I'm going to my car from my room and I get bit. I write this now because one decided to follow me into my room from outside. I rarely get them in the dorms. I think this is the 2nd one I've seen in my room since I've moved here. It was buzzing around my ear. I swatted it away and thought I killed it. I guess not because I didn't see it on my hands or the ground. But now it's no where to be seen. Grrr....it will probably come bother me when I'm trying to sleep! Yay. Go away nasty mosquitoes.

Crinkle in the brain

I learned something new today.
Cannabis is the name of the plant in which marijuana comes from.
hm....

That's about the only thing that really has stuck in my brain for either of tomorrow's midterm.
Geez...

Happy now Trix?

We are indeed special

I'll post some more stuff tonight but for now have fun laughing at this!

For Andrew

Ken and I in a little bus at the Round Rock outlet


I don't know how we had both fit into this bus!

Round Three...FIGHT!

I am not ready for the summer semester to start.
One week was not enough for a break and the summer has none!
Oi!

By they way, how was the fight last night?
I wasted my time watching the Rockets...argggggg....BAH!

GO WARRIORS!

DONE =)

I am DONE, FINISHED with my second semester of grad school!
It's really gone by fast (thank goodness!). I didn't like this semester too much, well more like I didn't like the second half. Anyway, we'll see how I did and if I get kicked out of PTE (before I even get inducted) or not!
For now, it's OVER, and I'm going to enjoy my very short break. I'll be in Houston this coming week so come play with me!

Oi!

Oh geez, it's been a month since I have posted anything! Miss me anyone? hehe...
Well I don't have time to say much except...I really do not like living in my dorm room anymore. I think the only reason is because of the temperature setting. It is ABSOLUTELY FREEZING in here! When it's cold outside, my room is probably even colder than that. It is ridiculous that I have to sleep in a long sleeves t-shirt plus sweatshirt and socks. Sometimes I even have to put on my hoodie or wear a beanie! Yes that is how cold it is in here. So now I have a sore throat! Two weeks before finals and during the time when all of our papers and presentations are due. Awesome =(

A lot has happened in the past month tho. I'm just too lazy to post it up. Also I don't procrastinate as much, I take that back, I start earlier and do the heavy duty part later, I don't know when else I could blog to take up time!

For now, this is how I feel...ill...throat is sore...
too much water + juice = too many pee pee trips!
I hope I can somewhat sleep through the night =)

Spring break

Spring break is going by way too fast for my liking! I've been here in Austin catching up with friends and just relaxing. Although I have just been running around town here and there, so I guess that is my kind of relaxation time! I'll be going back to Houston Friday or Saturday morning. Not sure yet. But I am really excited about March Madness! I finished my bracket earlier tonight...TEXAS all the way! Haha...

That's all for now. Oh yah, got to see Gary's new house yesterday. I really, really like it!

ok, good night. Tomorrow it's Bubbies time =)

Taco bell at midnight

I just scarfed down a 1/2 lb beef & potato burrito less than 5 minutes ago. Brad had this brilliant idea of going to taco bell at 11:30 at night. I just wanted to go into the kitchen to make a sunny side up egg and a piece of toast. I guess I should stop eating cereal for dinner because I get starved come 11:00pm. Either that or Leah and I should just stop talking about food so late at night. There goes my going to bed early tonight. I'll just continue studying for this developmental midterm Thursday. Which has sooo much information on it. What I did over a span of undergrad years, I'm learning in half a semester. Awesome that I can't recall info from then. Good night!

Occupational Challenges Class

So as I am studying for my test tomorrow over disorders and disabilities, knowing what I know, I'm going to be more worried when I'm pregnant if my child is a boy rather than a girl. and yes, I know, God will give me the greatest child, and I will love this child. But I'm human and an OT to be, I can't help but think about these things. Boys have such a higher risk of getting diagnosed with something than girls. There are more disorders that are just in boys. I can only pray that I get blessed with a healthy child.

Denise's Day

A Very Happy Birthday to Denise who turns 24 today!

She's a cool gal in my OT class! She also taught me how to play Dominos last night. Tonight some of us will be going to dinner at Cheddars, then heading out to Big Texas for some dancing! It'll be a nice break from the island and studying for our 2 exams and paper next week.
