hello everyone! I'm sitting at my mom's house just having finished my third thanksgiving meal. good food. my single request for a fruit salad and green bean casserole turned into three of each. but, i'm not complaining. (i hope you got some green bean casserole as well sarah!)
so anyway, i just left my aunt's house and i told them i was leaving so i could study a little bit of discrete math before my company came over. i had great intentions to do that, but doubt i'll get around to it. blogging seems so much more inviting. i have to make my mom's bed and "pick up" before too long. i am supposed to be having a social gathering. it won't be the largest b/c matt, carrie and erik are in nashville at a concert and several are at the football game (glasgow HS is in some playoff game to get to go to state. me not being there doesn't surprise me but several have been like, "what, you aren't going to the game?" it is pretty funny,but anyway.) ben didn't come home for thanksgiving b/c he is up at brown writing a musical or something. sad times, but what he is doing is so much cooler than glasgow!
so, i'm listening to counting crows hoping someone will interupt my solitude. i am SO excited about playing spades. there better be three other ppl willing to play.
so who is coming to my "party"?
ranjana and david vance i know for sure. i messaged david high and michael but i haven't heard back from them. they better show up! and i don't really know who else. hopefully matt garrett will get in from the concert early enough for a late night appearance.
i have this urge to see everyone i possible can over thanksgiving break. i saw tracy, misty, helena and rebecca on wednesday night! it was so awesome. i hadn't seen helena or tracy since august. we were at little taste of texas and we were cracking up laughing just like the good ol' days of band. i'm really glad tracy called me b/c on my way home i had thought about visiting them all sometime during break.
on friday i also bought some new shoes, ate some subway, and rode around with michael for a few minutes.
so what exactly did i do on my thanksgiving day? i slept as late as i physically could, 9:00. sort of sad but i did go to bed before 11:30 wednesday night. after that i got up and did some crunches to try to combat the large meal i was about to eat. i showered and went to mammy's. there i ate a quiet meal with my grandparents and my dad. good stuff despite the not-so-large quantities. after lunch i did my math and calculus homework. then mammy and i went to walmart. how ghetto is that? i can't say i've ever gone to walmart on thanksgiving before, but it was fun stuff. i got the whole "shopping for stuff before going back to school" thing out of the way and i beat the rush at the same time. thursday night i chilled at my dad's doing laundry, watching TV and studying a little math. and the favorite part of this was the watching TV part. i really wish i could do that more often b/c i really enjoyed it. i watched ER tori. aren't you proud?
hehe. anyway, that was yesterday.
today i got up around 8:00, got ready and came to glasgow for thanksgiving with my mom's people. i had to get there early so i could "learn how to cook." my mom is concerned that i learn how to prepare the thanksgiving feast. i didn't do much learning. mainly observing. it was quite humorous b/c everyone has his or her own way of doing things and they won't really let me help. they critique one another. mainly they comment on my mom. my aunt was like, "sondra's eggs are always runny." and my grandmother kept telling my aunt lynne to "get away" b/c she was crowding her gravy-making space.
i got to meet aaron (my cousin's) girlfriend. i had heard a whole lot about this chick and she was nothing like i expected. she wasn't "hot" for one. and i have always pictured aaron with a hot chick b/c he is so, so, sooo....that type, if that makes since. i'm proud to know that he has found love with a "normal" girl. gives me hope that i'll find someone...hehe!
so, i enjoyed visiting with them. andrew and andrea showed up later with sydney. i will refrain from talking about sydney too much. but she was darling. she had the cutest outfit on, i have pictures = ]!
today i also went out and got mammy and papa a cookie jar for their anniversary. i decided to stay away from the normal golden anniversary presents. mammy is re-doing her kitchen with apples so i thought i'd get her a cookie jar to help out. and as for papa, well, he will have a new place to keep his favorite cookies. i'm thinking about getting him three or four things of his favorite cookies and wrapping them up to go with the cookie jar. what do you think? he'd like that. i came in with some chocoloate covered cherries for him on wednesday. he loves those things and when i saw them at Towne and Country, i couldn't resist.
shew, i've rambled a whole lot, but that is okay.
now i need to get off here and clean a bit before ppl show up. i have made white trash for my friends. of course that is the only reason why these glasgow folks love me, but i have to do something to get them to play games with me! woohoo!
anyway, i'm off of here. i hope everyone had a great thanksgiving and enjoy the rest of break!
p.s. i'm having lunch with david pike tomorrow...this will be interesting but i'm excited. i hope all goes well.

it is impossible to go to sleep early on a saturday night. dangit, dangit! but i don't care.
i'm really excited about getting up at 3:45 (yeah, like in 3 hours) to go see the meteor showers. tori and i are going to the park to watch them. they better be awesome!
i'll let you know. and i'll have my camera just in case something spectacular happens.
goodnight!

Hello, is anyone out there?
haha, i just felt like saying that.
This is a very spur of the moment blog. i was sitting here trying to decide what to do and i thought i'd blog about my options and hopefully decide something.
option #1) i could go to the gym. i really need to do this b/c i didn't go last night and today i had TWO cookies with icing and sprinkles. it was really good. and i have some chocolate cheesecake sitting in my fridge which i can't eat unless i workout. (i have jennifer mccoy and farrah to thank, or hate, for that. uuurrrrggggggghhhhhhh)
option #2) i could work on homework. within this option are several seperate options. i'd probably do calculus first just b/c it is my favorite to do. (i can't believe i just admitted that = ] hehe.)
i'm sure that there are more options, but i'm not going consider the others b/c this weekend is all about being productive! woohoo! i have all the normal homework plus a huge chemistry test on monday and a music paper due tuesday. but, it'll be over soon! = ]
i also have to do laundry...but i'll do that tonight while i am doing homework.
so that is what i have to do today...now what i have already done.at nine, i went to accounting only b/c i needed to study for my chemistry quiz. i studied well enough b/c i think i made a 10/10 on it. after that i went to spanish. here we had a quiz, and i also think i made a perfect score! woohoo! and spanish was actually fun today. we got to make up a dialogue between a doctor and an injured athelete. i had the wonderful idea to have the athelete have an injured thumb:
here is our story:
me, the patient "Hola! Tengo una problema."
sarah, the doctor "Que es tu problema?"
"Me duele el pulgar"
"Que ocurrio?"
"Me duele el pulgar durante a la competencia national de lucha de pulgar."
"Recomiendo que termine este deporte radical"
"No puedo terminar porque voy a ir a la competencia international."
"Prefiero que no vaya."
"No, lucha de pulgar es mi vida"
(minor alterations may follow and i'm sorry for the lack of accents and any other errors.) sorry if you aren't a spanish speaker...but most of my readers are. hehe. i'll give you this much: lucha = wrestling.
sarah, jessica lowery, two other girls in my class, and i had way too much fun with this. i think dr. gonzalez liked it as well! = ] too bad it wasn't for a grade so we could have gotten extra credit or something!
so, after spanish i ate lunch along with my cookies...bad bad jenny..
during lunch and after lunch i studied calculus hard core b/c i had a micro quiz today and i knew that i needed a 4/4. (i made a 0/2 and a 2/4 on the last two!)
but, i studied well and i pulled a 4/4. thank goodness. i was afraid dr. french thought i'd turned completely retarded.
anyway, my day has been wonderful and i finally found ali so we are going to work out now!
the only sad thing about the day is that i didn't get the pictures of sydney that mammy told me i should get in the mail today. sad stuff...but it gives me something to look forward to on monday!
i'm out of here! adios!

Let me just say how much joy I get out of OTHER people's birthdays! I think tori's birthday was much more fun than my birthday was last year and i'm not too enthused about the one i have coming up in january (the 4th for all those who don't know, like tori). even though i have a tendency to spend too much money and eat too much food on birthdays, i don't care. all those pennies and pounds don't bother me one bit! yeah, and one of the greatest parts about it being tori's birthday is that i get to eat half of her free birthday dessert. yep. ali and i ate all but three bites (tori had two and mio had one) of her chocolate cake at macaroni grill tonight! thanks tori, it was yummy! = ]
but we have no time to waste b/c we have another wonderful birthday to plan. only three days to plan for ali's birthday on wednesday! its going to be hard to top today, but we can do it!! now taking any and all ideas!
i would love to blog some more, but i think that i need to be productive for about an hour and then go to bed. i'm going to church with tori tomorrow! aren't you proud sarah?
i may take a shower b/c i sort of smell like the bowling alley! maybe i'll change my sheets, too. fresh sheets own! teehee.
i'm finally getting excited about thanksgiving break. i really hope we have some typical glasgow fun. i should start organizing it!
(that was random, oh well!)
adios for now!

I'm crazy! It is friday now. I don't care.
I will never be as good as Tom. i understand.
there was something really funny that i wanted to say, but i don't remember what it was.
i love georgetown college. that'll tide me over.
goodnight!

Ha! I just can't get over this past weekend. i really didn't think that i was acting THAT crazy or THAT unusual for me. everyone keeps mentioning my behavior. tonight i noticed in alison's blog this: "We found some little platforms on the dance floor and took turns showing off our stuff, but I think Jenny was partial to them. She was out of control and completely cracking me up!"
I really wish someone had have video-recorded my moves so I could actually see what i looked like! (or maybe not! hehe)
i know that i was having a wonderful time. i just never realized how silly i may have been acting. oh well. that was me and it is about time they all saw the "real" me.
i don't have anything pressing to do right now. i am thinking about eating one of those damn cupcakes mammy made me bring back to school last week. there are two left. i refuse to throw away chocolate and no one else is going to eat them. a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
so, i got back my spanish test today. i made an 84 which doesn't compete at all with sarah's 93 and tori's 91, but oh well i am happy for them! = ] i would have done fine if i could understand what she was saying in the listening part. i just can't concentrate on it. i swear i think i have a listening deficiency. i should be tested and then i should get back a good 8 or 10 points on that test. haha. i'm just going on now. i'll be okay. an 84 is a B. B's are above average, right?
anyway, i talked to mammy and sydney today. that was a lot of fun. sydney kept trying to say everything mammy told her to say. once she attempted, "i'm going to help strip tobacco." it sounded nothing like that. it was pretty funny.
i got the pictures of her from last weekend developed today. they are cute! = ]
okay, so i am eating that cupcake and drinking a glass of milk now. i just couldn't resist. i'm so bad. but since i just finished working out, i'm still burning calories. its all good.
sarah just left me for her guy friends. i'm all alone. maybe i'll watch some CMT or something.
but i'm done with this for now! bye!

Hi! there is no reason to blog since tori successfully explained what we all have been up to for the past few days. so, go check out her BLOG
that will pretty much explain everything. i loved the weekend as much as she did. i had a blast. the only thing else worth mentioning is my new t-shirt. i really don't know why this t-shirt has brought me so much joy. I'm not a huge t-shirt fan. i have so many from school activities but i've never been all about the random ones for no reason. but yesterday we went into cosmic colors at the mall where they have all sorts of weird t-shirts. for some reason, i fell in-love with this cheetos shirt. it was bright yellow, which may have been part of the reason i liked it so much! but it is really fun. i kept trying to talk someone else into buying a shirt b/c if you buy one at 20$, the second is only 10$. so, if two of us together bought one each, it would be 15$ a person. so, that was easy math and you probably could have figured it out on your on, but i included it anyway b/c it was my reasoning. i wouldn't pay 20 for the shirt, buy i'd pay 15. i eventually talked ali into buying a strawberry shortcake shirt with me. it turns out that she was buying it for tori for her birthday. so tori and i are both happy b/c we have fun t-shirts!
anyway, i should write up my critique from friday night's "the bobs" performance now. this should be interesting. later!

sorry about mentioning calculus twice, sarah.
it was my life for a few days there. and i suppose it will always be a part of it! hehe
i just got back from working out. i didn't do as much as usual b/c my stomach was hurting. i decided that it was hunger so i am eating a huge bowl of cereal right now! yummy in my tummy!
nothing else worth saying right now! adios!
jenny 10:11 PM
I really was going to blog even if tori hadn't said anything about me blogging. but now i feel this responsibility to have an incredible blog. who knows what it'll turn into, but i'm going to start now.
hehe.
well, i'll start by saying that my spanish test that i mentioned in the last blog was HELL. that is H - E - L - L. shew, it kicked my butt big time. i have bruises already.
but the stupid spanish test was quickly forgotten about (for awhile) when i went to calculus and got back my test from friday. i don't think i mentioned this in previous blogs, but on the first test in there, i made a 74. so, when it came time for this one, i was freaking out. i started studying on the tuesday before the test. i studied so much, but i didn't feel 100% comfortable going into it. after taking it, i thought i did pretty well. however, when i got my test back and it said 100 on it, i was surprised. it absolutely made my day and pretty much my semester so far! hehe!
but anyway, that was the good and the bad of the first part of my day.
now, for what tori was talking about. tonight, i had the wonderful idea to take the game SET next door to tori and ali's room where a party had started. it was them two, sarah, jennifer and me. we played games of SET followed by more games of SET. then we went downstairs, got some snacks from the halloween party, and came back and played more SET. i absolutely loved every minute of it. yes, guys, even those few times when you all beat me. the others try to accuse me of being all bitch-like and stuff when i play SET. i get sort of intense about it but i think they all do that now. we were screaming SET at the top of our lungs. we were slapping cards and even hitting one another. and some of us were even cursing one another. it is a very very interesting sight. i highly suggest viewing this thing we like to call "having fun." and the word "fun" doesn't even give it justice i don't think.
i can't remember exactly what all happened tonight that should be mentioned in here besides what i have said already. i know that we all ate a lot of candy. we were all on a slight sugar high i believe. tonight also proved how we are all becoming the same person. jennifer was laughing like me. the first person i've ever heard sound that similar to me while laughing like i do when i'm really tired. i'm glad that i've had some kind of influence on my friends. umm..i also noticed ali talking like a 2-year-old like jennifer is famous for! i'm not for sure what else, but i'm sure there was more. tori, feel free to add to this blog since you got out of it by linking my blogger.
so, that was SET.
i haven't done much of anything productive today. i did my calculus homework and washed my dishes. that is about it.
but i had a wonderful day despite that stupid spanish test!
i was going to write some letters tonight but this blogger and my wonderful friends from glasgow (on icq) kept me busy for longer than expected. i have three letters that i am excited about writing. maybe i'll get to them tomorrow.
it is time for bed now! goodnight all you wonderful people!
p.s. to see what all the fun is about, check out SET here
