i feel like such a horrible person. i was a bitch to farrah tonight. i hope she isn't mad. hopefully she realizes how much i love her and that i was just joking when i said that i liked jennifer better. i love them both. my love for farrah = my love for jennifer....oh, farrah, if you read this, i am so sorry. will you forgive me?
jenny 11:33 PM
another day of not doing much. i am a slacker now. thank you to all of those who helped me reach this stage in my life! i have managed to study for my cal test. i started last night studying and i did today quite a bit. i have to get a good A on this test, i really do. i have a 90 right now in there and that is really scary. i mean, i sort of think he will do some kind of curve thing at the end like i think he did last semester. (i think he made an 88 an A or something...it didn't matter then. damn i wish i had those extra percentage points this time) and i might even have the highest grade in there... not for sure, but no one has much higher than that i'm sure. so anway, i would rather do really well on this test to make me more comfortable about it...and plus, i would really like to EARN the A instead of him giving it to me. so, besides cal, i needed to work on my english paper this weekend. i didn't do that, but i have until tuesday to have another draft finished. i should have also looked over my spanish for my oral tomorrow. luckily i have a couple hours tomorrow afternoon to study it. they say it isn't bad. lets hope not.
tonight farrah, both jennifer's, tori and i went to garth to play on the playground! talking about good times! this was great fun. i have sore hands and i will have bruises b/c of it, but it was worth it. it reminded me of the times we went to the part last summer. and especially of the time when the cop came and took our names. i was sort of scared, but the rest of the peeps i was with weren't. it wasn't a big deal really, they just took them incase something "happened." anyway, we took pictures and acted like kids.
ok, a couple of side notes....i just realized something that bothers me...when i list people's names like i did above telling a story or whatever i feel bad b/c i can' t put everyone's name first. like, i am afraid that when people read my blog they will consider their "importance" or whatever based on the order i write their names. it is nothing like that...i don't list them based on their ranking as a friend. hell, i don't even "rank" my friends sorry, that was a ramble.
another side note...jennifer and farrah are going to make me fat. they made me eat chocolate cake. yes, can you believe it? they threw me down on the floor, farrah held me down while jennifer opened my mouth and forced the cake in. how horrible of them, right? the cake was good and all, but i don't need it...i have prom in less than two weeks now!!! he he
i guess that is all for tonight...i need to study more and i want sleep. adios!!
jenny 11:13 PM
lets begin by saying that i have had a great saturday. probably the best saturday that i have had in a long time. why? i really don't know. you'd think it wouldn't be so grand because a)none of my friends were around today, b) finals are coming up c)i have an english paper due next week d)i miss david or e) my grandmother was put in the hospital today. ok, i am not saying that i am glad that mammy is sick, not at all am i saying that. that actually upset me earlier when i found out about it b/c it is scary. very scary. hopefully it isn't anything serious, and i am pretty sure it isn't. but, back to my day being so good. i think it may be because i did whatever i wanted -- all day long.
i watched two movies -- Erin Brockovich and My best friend's wedding( it was a Julia Roberts movie marathon for me)
i talked to david pike on the phone, falling even more in love with him.
i played two games of spades with david high and i enjoyed it even though we lost both games.
i listened to a friend when he needed someone to listen.
i talked to matt humphrey for the first time in awhile and remembered how cool i think he is.
i ate chocolate and didn't feel guilty.
i didn't touch my english paper and barely thought about it.
i didn't do much homework period -- no more than an hour of calculus studying.
i slept in.
i got a hug from a great friend, carrie.
i talked online to daniella.
i listened to music.
i flipped channels.
i didn't wear make-up or dry my hair.
i almost cried, but i realized that i was okay.
i smiled at the thought that i have some really, really good friends (even if none of them are here).
i tasted summer.
i just don't know what was up with me today but i haven't felt like this in forever. it is like i had no worries for a day. wonderful. maybe i'll try it again tomorrow. he he, i better not, but it was an idea.
i think i'll go to bed now. life is great. i love it.

Well, lets see, it is a few days later now. it seems like forever since i blogged. i just haven't had time lately, but now i do.
so lets see....wednesday and thursday afternoons and nights were mainly used for my english paper. i worked quite a bit on it those two days, but i slacked off a lot here and there too. nonetheless, i finished my english paper and went to bed by 2:30 thursday night. i didn't have the whole paper complete but it was all i needed for the draft conference on friday. my bed felt so good that night.
yesterday was a rather busy day for me (yeah, ashley, you aren't the only person with a busy life) i only had one class, calculus, at 10. then i had my draft conference with brady. it actually went well. i thought that my paper sucked, but she seemed to enjoy it. and i once again was embarrassed by mrs. collins. she came in and they started talking about me. i hate it when teachers do that in front of me. anyway, i am going back for another conference on monday or tuesday and then again on thursday! then it will be OVER!!!! i can't wait until thursday. and i also get to go home for a couple days on thursday. i am excited! so anyway, after my brady meeting i went to the grille for lunch with jennifer mckinney. we are trying to use up our grille money before the end of the semester. i still have $35 i think. i plan to by lots of $6 film this week! = ] i also bought sydney a little outfit for her birthday (5-3). it is a little cheerleading outfit. even though i am not all that fond of the whole cheerleading image thing... she is one year old and it has "tigers" written on the butt -- that is just too cute.
after that i came back to my room and started cleaning. i washed 3 loads of laundry. it took four dryers to dry them and one dryer didn't work well so that was another 75 cents.AND one dryer stole my money....i spent nearly $8 on laundry yesterday. i like clean clothes and all, but i shouldn't have to pay THAT much for them. just one more reason that i am overly ready for summer. SUMMER. SUMMER . as david vance would say. along with laundry, i washed the many dishes that i had been neglecting to wash for days. i stole tori's vacuum and vacuumed our room, too. then i had to go BACK to calculus for a review session. calculus at 3:00 on a friday...i could live without that! (i am scared to death of our test on monday, btw)
lets see....after all my business, i put my good clothes back on and waited for carrie to get here! i had been looking forward to it for several days. i was sort of nervuos about the whole situation just b/c i didn't know how she would react or how my friends here would react. she got here at 4:30, half hour earlier than i expected, but that was great. i got to see her nose ring. it really surprised me even though i knew she had it...whatever she wants. it will take awhile to get used to it but its cool with me. things were really weird at first. sarah, farrah, jennifer, carrie and i went to lexington and met chris at joe's crab shack. on the way there i mainly just talked to carrie about stuff from home. there wasn't much conversation amongst everyone on the way there nor at dinner. carrie and farrah eventually began talking about this guy at western named buddy. buddy went to farrah's high school and carrie has just seen him around her dorm. so, that was nice. i dont' know what to do when i have to try to integrate two groups of people. i am not a good one for that. so, after dinner we came back to georgetown (Sarah went with chris) and played this game called, something i can't remember. it is where you ask "would you rather do this or do this?" we did that for awhile until they decided on some cheesecake. we went to fazoli's and got take out. after eating the cheesecake we sat around talking about a little bit of everything... mainly roommate troubles and past friendship, or lack their of, troubles. i think that is enough said. it was really funny thinking about some of the crap that happened and what all we did. anyway, at about 12 carrie and i came back to my room to go to bed. we got ready for bed but we stayed up and talked until about 3. it was crazy. we talked about a little bit of everything, like always! carrie and i hadn't just talked like that since my spring break when i went to western to spend the night with her. and we didn't even get to talk that much then, b/c she had class and stuff. so anyway, it was nice to catch up.
we woke up at around 11:30 and she left to go home a little after 12. i really hope that she had a good time. she seemed to enjoy the converstations down the hall last night and everything. i hope it was worth the 2.5 hour drive up. i had a great time and i hope she gets to come back next year more often. i just wish i knew something really fun to do. we didn't get to go to the playground like we were planning b/c it rained and then we just sort of forgot. oh well.
so, after carrie left i was introduced to farrah's keychain collection. i love ppl with collections -- no matter what it is of. i get so into that kind of stuff. people may think i'm weird... i took a shower and then managed to miss lunch b/c i was too busy tweezing my eyebrows. yeah i know that i have blonde eyebrows but i still can't let them go. i had neglected them recently too. so now, i am left with eating easy mac for lunch since i missed lunch. not to say that the cafe food would be much better, but i could get a sandwich if nothing else. after i eat i have to be productive. lots of stuff that i can be doing.
i'll be back soon enough.
david on the phone now!! later...
jenny 2:52 PM

what can i say? i do have a good boyfriend. i got some better late than never roses from the wonderful david pike today. even though they are just roses, they mean a lot to me. i almost started crying when i saw them. i know that sounds horrible and very stereotypical of a, of a, of a i don't know what, but anyway, the roses made my day!
my ten page english paper is coming along very slowly and it is pissing me off! only two more nights to work on it jenny. you better get crackin tomorrow!
oh, and on a sad note, one of my grandpa's brothers died this past weekend. i have been thinking about it lately and it is really starting to scare me. my grandfather, papa, has 11 brothers and sisters. he is the oldest of all 12 and 4 or 5 have already passed away. i have finally started to realize how precious he is and how much i'll miss him when it is his time to go. we have never been super close, as in we talk a lot, but i have been around him a whole lot. its too sad to think about, but it was on my mind....
anway, i feel the need to say thanks to all the people who make life worth living. no need to mention your names, you know who you are.
g'night

i don't need to spend long blogging tonight. i will be brief. so today, the big one year anniversary! way to go me and david. it doesn't seem like a year at all. i can remember the scene at the softball complex track like it was yesterday. two shy, scared-to-death high schoolers wondering what was going to happen next....oh we were so cute. david asked me out at 9:12 p.m. on april 23, 2000. it was a sunday. Easter, even. before we went home that night, he gave me a hug. i practically had to beg for it, too. i would be thrilled for a hug from him tonight, but our 1.5 hour conversation on the phone is about as close i'll get for tonight. he is one of the best things that have ever happened to me and im grateful for him. i'll be home before too long, david. anyway, today i started my english paper. i am about 1/9th of the way finished. woohoo! lots more to do b/t now and friday but atleast i have started it. tomorrow i will get more done, i promise.
so anyway, that is the story of my life for the day. oh, and i didn't go to the fitness center. i feel like a slacker, too. bad jenny, bad jenny. i'll kickbox tomorrow night, though.
i've been talking about david a lot in my blogs lately. i don't know what is up with that (if it bothers you, i am sorry). i am also getting a little more "personal" than i thought i would in my blogs. its all good though, its my blog and i'll write what i want.
despite english, i love life. i'll leave it with that...peace out.
jenny 12:40 AM

is the weather not awesome? i do think i am in love! if it felt like it does right now everyday for the rest of my life, i would be happy! and what a wonderful day for it to feel so nice out there. yes, david and i are one year old today (as david phrased it). how exciting! i just wish he was here or i was there to make it an extra-special day, but we can't control the circumstances. anyway, i just wish i could sit outside and do nothing. however, the last thing i need to do is do nothing! so much stuff to do!
i didn't write last night b/c i wanted to get to bed early for the last time until may 10th. it felt nice. i am ready to get busy on something productive right now, so i better not make this a long blog. i did want to document one of the nicest compliments i have been given lately. yesterday, my good friends jennifer "temper" and farrah told me that they think that i could never look "bad" if i tried. i don't know what this is exactly supposed to mean, but it sounds good to me. but, i don't buy it. i was the definition of looking "bad" yesterday. however, i suppose that they can think whatever they want. and it was a nice and it made me smile. he he.
so, i don't have english this week, so i need to use this hour for something productive. going to do spanish now!
jenny 11:12 AM
4/22/2001
so david did call me last night at about 1:30. and i must say that everything is great now. we talked for about an hour and it was the best conversation i have had with him in awhile. i talked to the david that i had been missing. by the end of the conversation, the boy had me in tears; he was being so sweet. so anyway, i realized that i totally overreacted last night. it must have been some weird mood that i was in. david really had tried to call while i was out to eat and just didn't leave a message and the phone didn't blink like it is suppose to when that happens. he did get fussed at for not leaving a message, but it is ok. i explained how i felt, he apologized, and everything is cool now. i told him about the blog thing and gave him the address. but, i don't know if he is going to look at it or not.
last night i had the worst dream ever. i don't remember a lot from it, but i know that during it keith stole my car. yes. isn't that horrible. it was really sort of scary the way everything happened. boy am i glad to be awake so i can keep an eye on my car!!!
oh, and i forgot to add this piece of news last night. carrie is coming to georgetown this friday. isn't that excited! i hope enough ppl are around so we can have lots of fun. i am scared that i have built the georgetown atmosphere up too much and she will be disappointed, but we'll see.
i need to get busy now, but i just needed to blog.
jenny 10:54 AM
4/21/2001
gosh, what is my problem. when sarah isn't here i just let myself fall apart. i cried for the second night in a row tonight. isn't that horrible! i don't know why really. i think it is the whole david thing. i just want to talk to him. is that too much to ask? i am beginning to think it is. he finally called me today (for the first time since thursday but i didn't get to talk to him then) but he had to go mow the yard so he couldn't talk longer than ten minutes. he said that he would call me when he got finished. about an hour or so he said. well an hour passed and he hadn't called. to get away and have a little fun i went out to eat with jennifer, tori, and farrah. when i came in he sitll hadn't called b/c there was no message and even if he didn't leave a message the phone would be blinking where he called. so, tired of waiting on his call i picked up the phone and called him myself (at abuot 10:15). his mom said that he had gone to jamie's house at about 8:30 (9:30 my time). he spent the night at jamie's last night and he had talked about how tired he was earlier in the day. maybe if you stay in every once in awhile you won't be so tired, david. so, anyway, i am sort of upset about the whole thing. but i feel like i shouldn't be upset. i know that when i talk to him i am going to act like i am not mad even though i really want to tell him. its not like i am even scared of his reaction or don't know how to tell him, it is just that i feel stupid for getting upset about it. i think i just put up with too much shit sometimes. and that has gotten me in trouble b/c now, after 363 days he doesn't think it is a big deal if he doesn't call me just to say hey and let me know what is going on. i am not OCD on talking to him. i swear i am not. but sometimes all i want is a decent conversation with my boyfriend. the boy i love with all my heart. is one hour of your time everyday or two too much to ask, david? its not like he will actually see that question b/c he doesn't know that i have this blogger, but oh well. i am sort of glad that he doesn't know, but i sort of wish he did know so he could see this blog for himself. maybe i'll tell him next time i talk to him. and if not, he will find out someday i am sure. so, i told his mom to leave a message for him to call me when he gets in. that will probably be around 2:00 my time. she acted like i was crazy for wanting him to call that late, but she doesn't understand the situation i guess. i better not get my hopes up b/c he may let me down again.
i think i am just really ready for summer and i don't want to do all the crap that i have to do between now and then. i want it to be where we can be together more. i think, as weird as it may sound, we need bonding time. i realize more and more how much miles pull apart two people. im scared to death of what is going to happen next year when those miles are doubled.
anyway, enough of that.
today i worked on my sociology paper for the most part. i did get my pictures developed from last night! funny stuff. tori has already posted one! about the only other thing i have done is eat. i ate so much today. not really at one time, but just numerous times. going out to eat with my FI's didn't help much, but i definitely had fun and it was worth it. i think i gained ten pounds today so when i wake up tomorrow i am going straight to the gym. right now i am going straight off the internet and straight into my sociology paper. i hope i am happier tomorrow. g'night
jenny 11:27 PM
I just finished watching coyote ugly with tori and jennifer. i just love that movie. now i am listening to the soundtrack. i am sorta hungry but i have already brushed my teeth so i won't let myself have anything to eat.
i am sort of sad. actually i think it is partially because i am tired. but, i haven't talked to david since thursday. yeah, i know that isn't too long, but i just don't know where he is or what he has been up to. it really gets on my nerves that he isn't on ICQ any more. i can't just send him a message to say "hey, i'm doing such and such, give me a call." and it doesn't do much good to leave emails b/c he doesn't check them often and never replies anyway. hopefully all this will change next year when he has a computer of his own. for now, i just want him to call me. i called and left a message for him to call me when he gets in. it may be 2:00 my time before he gets in/calls me. oh well. it is worth being woken up to hear his voice. i don't want to get my hopes up b/c i doubt he will call. how sad is this? one night a couple of weekends ago i slept with the phone nearly all night b/c he said he was going to call but he never did. oh well. i know it has to be rough in the pike house sneaking around late, trying to talk on the phone and such with his mom sleeping.
so, today. i must say that sarah, jennifer mccoy, tori and farrah are AWESOME! they are such good friends. guess what we did? sarah, jennifer and i dressed up like sluts and went to Reno's to eat. i did this for my sociology project to see how people react and what kind of service we got. farrah and tori went separate as our "control" group. so anyway, we had all kinds of make-up on, short shorts/dresses/trashy tops. i'm sure there will be a pic on tori's website before too long, so keep an eye out. it was amazing to see how people reacted. our waitress was sort of scared of us. well, her actions looked like she was. especially when she was dealing with sarah. she couldn't really look at her. she dropped sarah's chicken, forgot her sauce, then she was shaking as she gave it to her, and stuff like that. we could tell that she was trying hard to act normal. it was quite entertaining really. all the other customers were staring at us and making weird faces and stuff. the waiters and other guys kept coming out acting like they were working/delivering food, but really they just wanted to see our hot bodies. he he! at the end of the meal, i asked our waitress if it was difficult to wait on us. she said no, but i don't know about that...anyway, i went on to tell her about it being a school project and all. then, all of a sudden she became a lot more relaxed and started telling us about what the guys were saying in the back. some thought we were drag queens. some thought we were hookers and others just figured we were getting ready to go clubbing. (the day i go clubbing dressed like that will be a cold day in hell. he he) so anyway, i think everyone enjoyed it. sarah says she wants to do it again. who knows what will happen next time. thanks a lot FRIENDS! i love you guys!! i owe you a big one!
if i think of anything else, i will add it later. i am going to sleep now b/c i am sleepy!!! goodnight all and i hope it was a great birthday david!
jenny 12:09 AM
4/20/2001
hello me. i don't have much on my mind tonight. actually maybe i do.
let me see. today was rather busy, like always. I went to a CEP at 11. it was interesting i guess. the founder of chick-fil-a was speaking. david is jealous of me b/c he loves that place! after that i had to go straight to work without eating. luckily, i wasn't very hungry and i got to eat later on during work anyway. we weren't too busy at work, but i didn't use my time wisely at all. i had an hour or so that i just sat/stood around looking at the newspaper and stuff. i should have been doing my spanish homework or reading sociology. oh well. then i went to religion. i realized that i only have two more religion lectures! i am so excited about that! i wish he had of had our book reports graded, but i'll forgive him since we just turned them in on tuesday.
after religion i decided to take a nap. i couldn't resist it. the room was all nice and quiet and i didn't have anything MAJOR for tomorrow. (i should have started my english outline then but i put it off until about 10:45 or so) so, i just crawled underneath my nice warm covers and slept. i didn't sleep for the entire time but i was in bed from 3:45-5ish. it was nice.
i kickboxed today for the first time in forever, too! it was fun. a nice break from the gym!
im definitely feeling some love from the david's tonight. not really david pike, but the other two. david vance sent me a letter today! it was really fun. it started with "summer" written three times across the top, increasing in size from left to right. he went on to say how happy and good he was! it was great to hear from him. his letters are always random, not too lengthy nor very personal. by personal i mean that the letter could be sent to anyone and he/she would understand it completely. he/she may not "understand" him or his style, but anyway...i do like his letters! they always seem to simplify life. i don't know what i am trying to say about them other than that i like them a lot
.
ok, and the other david, david high. well, tomorrow, or i guess today, is david high's 20th birthday! I wanted him to get a present at school so i mailed it to him. i didn't really know what to get him. i finally decided on georgetown playing cards, but as i mentioned before that wasn't possible. the college isn't allowed to sell them b/c it is a baptist college. is that not the stupidest thing ever? it highly pissed me off. so once that idea was shot down i started looking for something else in the bookstore. there were some cheap, plain but decent-looking t-shirts so i eventually decided on a gray one of those. i had previously gotten him a basketball hoop for his room. really small and probably not very good, but it was the only thing in walmart that i thought might have a chance. i wanted the gifts to be wrapped but i had no paper. i had some tissue paper so i just borrowed sarah's markers (thanks sarah) and wrote stuff like "happy birthday david," "david is awesome," "you are not old," and "have a great day" all over it and wrapped them in that. it was sort of a rushed job b/c i had to go to class and needed to take it with me and mail it afterwards so it would get there on time. so anyway, i was afraid that he really wouldn't like/want the t-shirt since it is from georgetown college and all. but, tonight as farrah was at my computer looking over my outline (thanks farrah) he sent me a message. he was really excited about it. he said that it made his birthday and that he was going to wear the t-shirt tomorrow/today. i think it made me happier than him. it always makes me so happy to send a card/letter/package. and to have the one on the other end enjoy it as much as david makes things even better. i try hard to do good things for my friends and sometimes it seems like they go unappreciated. well, i learned tonight that david high definitely appreciates my efforts and THAT makes me happy. i think i will sleep well tonight knowing that i made one of my best friends' birthday. what a great feeling.
so, david pike. i didn't talk to him tonight. i wish i could have, but he tried to call when i was at kickboxing and sarah said that he had to work on his portfolio tonight and couldn't call back. i decided not to call and interupt even though i wanted to. i knew that we would talk way too long and figured that he had a lot of work to do. i'll talk to him tomorrow and that will be fun!
so, i am going to bed now. satisfied with life and ready for it to be friday.
happy birthday david!

how fun is tonight, huh? farrah and i just invented a new dance. it is called "the hip, the pull, the kick." it was inspired by our (mine and sarah's) door. it is great fun! and also, i remember today, or i guess i noticed once again how i always use the number 18 when i exaggerate. today i said, "look, i can juggle 18." but really it was only six. everyone got a kick out of the footwork that i added to it. they keep on laughing at me. i never knew i was so funny! he he.
i should be working on english right now, but i am not. i finished my calculus and didn't feel like doing anything else. i juggled this afternoon. i am now trying to juggle four. it is going to be difficult to learn, but i will try try try! this summer i am going to get more cool stuff to juggle with like bowling pins.
sarah is turning her animals into strippers! it is quite funny.
it is really, really cold in this building. i don't understand it. my feet are like ice cubes right now. what happened to that little bit of summer we experience? i wish it would come back. i promise not to complain, God!
i don't really know anything else right now. david is calling me soon and i want to get some sleep tonight. so adios for now!
jenny 10:48 PM
4/17/2001
gosh. too much to do. i am so going to fail my lifetime fitness test tomorrow. i haven't studied one bit. luckily i can do as bad as 9/15 and make an A in the class. lets hope i can pull that off, but who knows. he has such a weird system going on.
i finally finished my english stuff and did what calculus that i had to. i just want sleep. i think farrah and jennifer want me to get sleep too. they found me a little bit to slap-happy tonight. i think i agree with them. oh, and our school is stupid, in some ways. the bookstore can't sell playing cards b/c it is a baptist college. i was so pissed when they told me that. i'll mention why later. so, now i am going to study for about an hour and then go to sleep. i'll write more tomorrow. night!
jenny 11:43 PM
oh yeah...funny story. tonight david told me on the phone that his mom said to him, "this is a personal question, but when is yours and jenny's one year anniversary?" he told her next monday. then his dad was like, "at what time?" david didn't want to sound like he knew the exact time (he has it down to the second i'm sure) so he just said, "late that night" and his mom was like, "oh, i don't want to know about all that" or something. can you believe it? what is she thinking? why do they care? i don't know. it surprised the crap out of me..but thats cool. whatever carol and larry! hehe!
jenny 12:22 AM
first of all, i just finished my new testament book report! i could have been finished a lot sooner if i hadn't went to the gym, talked so long to david and juggled. oh well, i am just excited that it is over! but, before i printed it i was attempting to spell check it, but it took me to the thesaurus instead. well, it just so happens that my name, jenny, was highlighted and guess what came up...donkey...and then jackass and ass. i couldn't believe it. i remember now that a donkey is a jenny, but it just really surprised me that it came up on the computer like that. i just cracked up laughing.
anyway today was monday. i didn't want to get up at all today. i just kept laying there. i knew what the day was holding for me and i didn't want to face it. it turned out not to be too bad, BUT i realized today how much tomorrow is going to suck. i have to study for a lifetime fitness test...this requires me to read a lot and hope that i can guess well enough to get by. we have note cards due in english and i also have to do another paraphrasing/quoting exercise for that class. it is so retarded. like paraphrasing some psychology crap is going to help me paraphrase robert frost critics....brady is on crack sometimes, but she loves me...yes, that is what mrs. collins told me last thursday. i was honored to actually hear that. it made my day, hell, my week. i am still scared to death of her, though. oh, and i also have to do my calculus homework tomorrow. i want to go to a CEP and kickboxing. we will see how much i get done...
i am trying to decide whether or not to take this history class at wku glasgow campus this summer. it meets twice a week from 12- 3:45. i really think i would die....but i have already paid the fee and there isn't much else there that would help me. maybe a speech class but i am not all excited about that...too much to worry about.
and keith frazer is an asshole. you can quote me on that. he is pissing me off so much. mom went to ohio to get all her stuff and once again she couldn't. all she got this time was her clothes, and not even all of them. he is the biggest psycho in the world. if he even thinks about starting some shit with my dad over my car, he will go down. ronnie starnes will beat his ass.
i got an email from britta today. finally! but it was fun. and then i talked to carrie last night too. she got a nose ring! i couldn't believe it! she says that she is going to try to come up next friday. i hope she can. i am going to be really busy but she won't be here too long so it will be a nice break. this weekend i am going to be lonely. sarah, tori, jennifer "sistah" and alison are leaving. luckily farrah and jennifer "temper" will be around to make me slack. ha ha! i can't slack this weekend. too much to do.
alrighty i better get some sleep tonight. later!

oh my gosh i am so tired. dhigh just called me and that made me not so tired for about 10 minutes, but it is back again. my eyes really won't stay open. it was really surprising when david called me. i didn't know who it was going to be b/c i wasn't expecting dpike to call and chris was here tonight...but anyway it was fun times. david tried to convince me not to stress out about stuff. he also tried to tell me to read TONIGHT bfeore i go to bed. i laughed...a lot. that book won't get read until tomorrow!
so, anyway, its easter. easter is a cool time. i like easter. and what makes it a little more special now is that last easter david and i started going out on easter night. i know it isn't the same since esater isn't on the same date each year, but i will always think of that when i think of easter. maybe that is wrong of me, but it makes me happy.
it was a good weekend, just really really not long enough and too busy! thursday when i left here i went straight to BG. mom and i went prom dress shopping. i found one! yippee. i actually got a tartan ball dress, too.( i guess that means i have to go now!) but both were cheap. 50 bucks for both. then she and i met david at olive garden for dinner. some great food! afterwards david and i went to see someone like you. he is such a good boyfriend for taking me to see that movie. (yes, david pike paid!) we treid to see something different but nothing was playing at a good time. that is the second chick-flick that we have seen so now it is my turn to sit through one of his picks. he wanted to see blow...something abot drugs maybe. he's worth it, though. gotta love him. we didn't get back to glasgow until after 12, but due to the lack of time we had been together i stayed at his house until 1:15 or after. this is a big deal. i never do that. i always feel so bad. like, i wonder what his parents are thinking and if they get mad or something. i have decided that i worry too much, though.
i spent the night at my mom's "house." friday morning i got up at 9:00 (too early) and got my hair cut. it is a little shorter than i wanted but it will be ok. after that i went to david's house and made him wake up. we went to evergreen to eat b/c he promised me evergreen this weekend. once again, he paid! i almost died. i had planned to be broke by the time i got back to school, but i am not! woohoo!. thanks dave for saving my wallet!!i went to mammy's after we ate...well around 3. sydney was asleep but i woke her upp b/c i wanted to play with her. she can walk now. all by herself! i had to see it to believe it. that child amazes me. i can't get enough of her. precious as a pea!
friday night i took my grandmorther to "town" (tville) to grocery shop and go to walmart. i got some stuff at walmart. i don't remember what, but i know i got something. oh yes, the coyote ugly soundtrack. after that i fixed the easter eggs for today's hunt and went to bed.
saturday i slept until 11:00. it felt great. but with waking up i knew that i was going to have to read my NT book. i eventually got started on it at 2:00. i read until 6:00. ate, rested, and started again at 7:30. i read on and off until 11:30. it sucked so much. i am STILL not finished. i have thirty pages left and the report to do by tuesday. tomorrow will be hell!
today i went to church, got out early and started to pack. everyone went to mammy's for dinner today. good eatin' like always. and after we ate we hunted easter eggs! and not just sydney, but all of us! me, casey, cody, shellie and her boyfriend! david got there a little too late to hunt, but next year he will be on time = ]. i managed to get $2.50 out of it, and i talked them into putting money in ALL the eggs next year! i even got in a "fight" with casey over one of the eggs. i spotted it first and he was trying to steal it from me! sydney, once again, amazed me. she knew exactly what to do with the eggs. she picked them up and put them in the basket as if she was a professional egg hunter! the smartest baby in monroe county, i promise! until about 4 we all just sat around and talked. david got to experience more of the aunt paula that gets on everyone's nerves. but he didn't mind too much. it was so funny when i was leaving. dad asked me about david's plate on the front of his car. he said, "whose car is that? it has a duke plate on it." i didn't think that it would be a good time to explain so i just said, "yeah, his family is from north carolina." i left it at that. he doesn't need to "know" the DUKE info just yet....
so i went to glasgow and went to the ferguson's. i stayed there much longer than i wanted and went by david's to give him the easter basket that i made him. he really enjoyed it b/c it had eggs filled with pennies. "the best easter ever" he said as he opened them. he also enjoyed the little paddle with the ball on a stretchy string, until he broke it, that is. david gave me an easter basket too. i was so surprised. it was probably his mom's idea, but i pretend like it was his. i got a phone card in mine!!
his mom and dad inspected my prom dress trying to decide what color flowers to get for prom. it was so hilarious. i was having to move it from this light to that light and mrs. pike even compared it to some of her flowers. those pikes, they just crack me up. they make me so happy though. just the whole idea of a family. since i have never had a "real family" (mom, dad and kids) it is just nice being around them and watching them interact. wow..i am getting off on tangents.
tonight was the last time that i will have to leave to come back to school. this is very exciting b/c that means that the semester is about over, but it is sad b/c before too long my time with my g-town friends is going to be over for awhile, for the most part. it is so weird to think that my freshman year is almost over. however, it is going to be hell from here on out.
so, i am at school now and back to my regular slacking schedule. david high tried to make me be productive tonight, but it is not going to happen. thanks for the effort!
sarah sent me a really annoying e-greeting. i was about to go insane! revenge time sarah!
i must have sleep now. goodnight!
jenny 1:12 AM
ok, so i am really really tired so i am not going to write much tonight. lets see. we got more juggling balls. i am excited. my new goals are juggling 4 balls at the same time and this partner-switch thing. i really need to figure out what the names of these things are. i must say that all of my "students" are improving nicely. it is great fun. tonight i had to wash dishes! puke. its over with atleast. now i am going to go to bed. i didn't do much homework-type stuff, but that is ok. i have to go to sociology, work AND religion tomorrow. too bad we all don't have it made like sarah! she is done until monday. no fair.
this will probably be my last blog until sunday but i think i'll can live without it until then. i am not OCD blogging yet. goodnight.

this is some insane stuff!!! a bomb threat at g-town college...who would have thought? it made for an interesting day, that is for sure. the day was already interesting b/c of registration for next fall. i had to get up at 7:00 to go turn in my schedule. hopefully i'll get what i want. so anyway, back to the story....i was in rm 252 (jessica, farrah and jennifer's room) doing spanish homework and all of a sudden ppl start banging on doors and stuff. i thought it was somebody being stupid, but it was an RA telling us about the bomb threat. so i went and grabbed my shoes and took my spanish with me to finish doing it. she told us that classes were cancelled but i was still scared that we might have to go. jessica and i went to the outlet mall. i bought some easter goodies. we went back to school to see what was going on and see if we could find the rest of our buddies! everyone was still standing out on the field so we parked the car and went on a search for ppl. the search wasn't successful so we got back in the car and began to search again. after checking kroger, goodwill and the tanning bed place we found the jennifers, farrah and sarah at sonic! thats where we figured they would be. i think they are all addicted to that place.... so after we found them we went to the outlet mall again. this time we went to the toy store, the bra store, and rue 21. i got by with only having to buy socks. i got a yellow pair, a solid black pair, and this weird pair of gray and black ones. they are sorta dressy socks, but i talked myself into thinking that i need them. as we were leaving the mall we met tori. she had been looking for us. poor thing. we then went out to the park. it is a really cute park. not anything like the definition i would use to describe "park," but it was nice. it had a nice little lake there. i sorta wanted to go wade in it, but the water was too chilly for me. it was a lot of fun, but it was nice to be able to get back into the dorm. shortly after we got back, we all went to the mexican restaurant, el rio grande. it was some good stuff, especially the cheese dip! i even said, "quesadilla" correctly this time! i tried fried ice-cream for the first time too. they all laughed at me b/c i couldn't eat it as well as jennifer, but that is ok.come to thing of it, i got laughed at a lot tonight at dinner. they wouldn't laugh at me if: a) they didn't love me or b) i wasn't funny. (i like to think that they love me.)
anyway, we just got back from dinner. we juggled and twirled rifle for a bit out in the hall, and now i am here. i can't decide what i want to do. i should really do some homework but i think i will start packing for tomorrow! oh how excited i am! and i am for sure going to go shopping with my mom tomorrow night for a dress....i hate to say it, but i don't like prom dress shopping without my mom. ok, well, maybe it is more fun without her, but it gets done quicker and easier with her. and plus, i don't have to worry about whether or not she will like what i pick out if she is with me. i think i will go now. im sure lots of more fun will happen tonight. hopefully jennifer and farrah will find juggling balls in lexington. we will never sleep if they do! until later, bye!
jenny 7:31 PM
tori, sarah, farrah, alison, anyone? why didn't you tell me that this blog thing was an excuse to slack? i do not need to slack this much, but i already feel like i have to blog tonight b/c i had such a wonderful night. first of all, i just have to say that i have met some of the coolest people in the world here at georgetown. it really amazes me. i never thought i would meet more people who find joy in juggling, twirling a rifle, walking on stilts and get excited about the future arrival of a (colorguard) flag and silly stuff like this. i really am amazed and happy! sarah, jennifer "temper", farrah and i were outside tonight at 12:00 juggling, twirling my rifle, and laughing for no reason or maybe b/c we were having tons of fun. and this other girl, of which i have never seen in my life, came outside and asked if she could twirl my rifle. she was an obvious patient of colorguard withdrawal. anyway, it was a great feeling to know that there are other people who enjoy acting just as goofy as me...but i can't imagine the kinds of things that went through some people's minds about us. AND I DONT CARE! i think we (the fi's) are the coolest people on this campus, so there!
ok, enough about that. i had to do some stupid english qouting and paraphrasing exercises tonight and they sucked. WHY BRADY, WHY? that is all the homework that i have done tonight. i didn't finish all my calculus which is scaring me. there is just this one problem jessica and i couldn't figure out. hopefully i'll have a quick chance to ask him tomorrow.
in the morning we have to turn in our schedules. this means that i have to get up at about 6:50 i think. no fun! oh well. only two more days until good friday. i am very excited about the three day weekend. however, mine may end up being horrible. this is b/c i have put off reading Jesus as a Figure in History for weeks and i have about 130 pages left to read. a book report is due on tuesday. it is so boring and i am going to hate every minute that i spend reading it. oh well. hopefully i will still have fun. i get to see david which is always exciting. i think we might even go to the movies. *gasps* and maybe see a chick flick. *gasps again* i better not get my hopes up, though. i think i am going to prom dress shop some more thursday night too. oh i hope i find something. friday will probably be uneventful. i am getting my hair cut on saturday unless i chicken out. sunday we are having an easter get-to-gether i guess you'd call it. i get to see sydney all dressed up in her easter dress and it'll be cute. hopefully over the weekend i will get to see some of my other friends from home too.
i better end this for now. catch you later!

WOW. I have now joined the blogging club. I feel so special. Now I am a part of 3 or 4 organizations here on campus. First, and most importantly FI, second Alpha Lambda Delta, the new blogging phenomenon, and I guess juggling counts since I have now taught (or in the process of teaching) 6 people. OK, so maybe only one of them is an official club, but they are all "real" in my eyes.
I have been considering this blog thing for awhile, but I just made my mind up last night. I am sorta scared about the whole idea of other people reading my journal. I have only kept one journal in my life and that contained lots of really personal stuff and it didn't last very long. Let's just hope that my blog will be more successful. And for right now it isn't posted where everyone can read it but I have a feeling that will change pretty soon due to peer pressure from the other bloggers.
I owe my thanks to my great friend, Tori, for setting this thing up for me. If it weren't for her I wouldn't be able to share my feelings with the world...hehe. ok, so what else am I suppose to say on here...this is going to be hard. I am not a very creative person so sometimes there may be large periods of no blogs and/or very boring blogs. please bare with me....oh and also, I just realized that it is not normal for me to capitalize, so that will be stopping now. and i must apologize if i don't have the best spelling. you can laugh all you want to. and sometimes i have horrible grammer when i don't pay attention to what i am doing. so, if my run-on sentences and fragments bother you, you can get over it. its MY blog (right tori?)!
so ok, what do you need to know about me? well, considering the fact that most of you know me through georgetown you know where I live, what i look like, about the stupid phrases that i use (i.e....i can't think of any right now but anyway.), that i can juggle and enjoying teaching others, and that i love yellow and my stuffed dog charlie. You may know that my wonderful roommate, sarah, (may i add that she is the best "sarah" on our hall, and in the world for that matter) thinks i am OCD about many of these things. I think she may get tired of me talking about my almost 1-year-old neice, Sydney Drew, too. and she hears a lot about david and i am sure if you read this you will learn lots about him, too. oh no, i just realized a problem. I have three friends named david from home. here goes. david pike is my boyfriend (almost a year now. what was i thinking? he he) and i will probably just call him "david" on here. david high is another great friend who is like a brother to me. he is the only person who sends me letters for no reason. i will try to refer to him as "dhigh" in my blog. david vance is the third. he is the david that taught me how to juggle (thanks dvance) yes, i'll call him "dvance." it gets really confusing sometimes but maybe this name thing will help.
well, i think this is enough for now. i have to go to spanish lab soon, anyway. i hope you enjoy my not so interesting life...adios!
