Muh Cruise

I went on a cruise last weekend!!! :D It was a surprise for my familia, and everyone thought it was Disneyland or something :) It was great :) Except I knew since the very beginning..because I had to figure out my work and school schedules :) Muahahaha!
I got to try escargot, lobster, alligator, and they were all perty yumma!
I got sick for half of one of the days, because it was SO wavy and I couldn't stand up without feeling dizzy. Half us kiddos got sick that day. Porter exploded threw up twice. It was kinda nasty, but pretty funny too ;)
We stopped in Ensenada, Mexico where we showed off our bartering skills. I even unintentionally bartered once. A lady told me a bracelet was $2, so I put it down (to look at a different one) and she's like "ok! $1!!" Ha, sweet! ;)
Overall, twas pretty good time.
I wanna go on more cruises now!! :)
I just wish it was warmer, I had my mind set on getting a nice tan while we were there, but no, it was cloudy and cold the whole time!!

Yippee!

SOOOoooo, I met with da counsela! :D :D :D :D :D
I CAN GRADUATE EARLY!!!!
It was my goal all along to graduate a semester early, but when I declared Education as my major, I figured it probably wouldn't work because of the student-teaching and such. BUT, I asked the counselor yesterday, and I CAN. :D All I have to do is take 2 classes this summer, then my classes in the Fall, THEN, come January, I CAN ACTUALLY START! :D YIPPEE!! Which means, in like 2 1/2 years, December of 2014, I'll be graduated ;)
But, I'll probably work at the bank as long as I can. ;) Ha, it's a good job, and I'll use teaching as a back-up for later in life ;)
:D

Hehe..oblivious.

It seems like everyone but me knew that ASU has started class registration for fall 2012... hehe oops! :) My friends were talking about it today (and they're in honors so they get to sign up early) and I had NO IDEA! I don't really look at the ASU website for more than 2 seconds while I click on my class to get transferred to BlackBoard.. so I was outta the loop. I usually get annoyed with people like this, thinking it's so fake that they just "didn't know" but now I know, THEY [MAY] JUST BE TELLING THE TRUTH. Ha, oh well. I'm not late or anything, tomorrow was my scheduled day to sign up anyways, and I got a counselor appointment for tomorrow, so that worked out grand. 
I'm still trying to decide if it's good or bad, but I'm about a semester early of credits. Good, because I could graduate early. Bad, because I don't know if I can. Since I have to student teach, I assume I have to go with the school year schedule, starting in the fall. Which means my sophomore spring semester I'll have no classes to take and no student teaching to start. But I HAVE to take classes or I'll lose my scholarship. It's kinda frustrating..but I'll find out more info tomorrow when I talk to the counselor. I hope all my problems are solved and I can start student teaching early. THAT, and that I'm allowed to work and student teach at the same time. That would make all my dreams come true.
Well, not all of them. :) Just the ones occupying my mind at the moment. ;)
Our Spring Break is in 2 weeks!! WOOP!! BUT, I'm taking off Thursday and Friday next week (and I already have work off Wednesday for some reason) :) so like one more week and I'm FREEEEeeee!!! ;) Then, I only have like 5 weeks of school left, and Ima sophomore ;) 
Wow, college life goes way faster than high school life. It's kinda crazy! But kinda nice! :) 

Adios amigos, farewell my friends.

On the Road

So I don't know if it is spring break for you guys, but it is for me! My team is going to leave Chapel Hill around 4:00 to drive up to Lake Lure, NC and it's about a 4 hour drive. Honestly, though, I think it will be a lot of fun. It's been a while since I've gone on a car trip with that many people, haha.
But I found out more about our practice schedule. We practice twice a day every day, for about 2-3 hours each practice. We even practice on Sunday, which kinda stinks. It's going to be a little chilly but not as cold as it could be, so that's good. And on the 10th we have our very first scrimmage! I'm excited to race for the first time, but I'm scared, too. Mainly of the other boats and crashing into them. I guess a "scare tactic" some coxswains use is to get really close to your boat to try and force you off of your course. That's no bueno. I know that I probably won't crash, but still. =S
I'll try and post sometime in the middle of the week so I can tell you guys how it's going. All I can say, is that we better have internet there. Otherwise about 60 college students are going to be really bored. Haha
Hope everything is going well with you guys! Love you!
