Today I realized that I only have two weeks left of my biology course. It was surprising to me because I've really enjoyed this class. I'm really excited that I have another biology class after this one. I was really worried about this class, but I've enjoyed most of the content (minus the reproduction and genes).
We had guitar lessons today and had to run some errands. We got stuck in traffic today due to a wreck which basically ruined my morning. I was very excited to be home but then I had plenty of assignments due which meant no relaxing for me! I've been reading a lot of short stories in English and this week I'm studying Ernest Hemingway.
Whitney tried to talk me into buying High School Musical 3 for her, but I refused. She apparently sweet talked Megan into it because they left about an hour after we got home just for the movie. Megan spoils her way too much!
This morning I finished The Fellowship of the Rings so now I will be starting The Two Towers!!!

English & Games
This week has been filled with LOTS of reading and playing a Lewis and Clark game. For english this week, I have been reading books by Jack London and Stephen Crane. For the most part, the books are pretty good but I will probably never read these books again! I had already read The Red Badge of Courage and I thought it was pretty good and then I read The Fight, that was defintely weird. I then had to write on how it affected me....that was hard!
Last week we went to the university library to look at books. Whitney picked out a Lewis and Clark game and we played that on Sunday night. Ever since then, she can't seem to think about anything else. I was really surprised at how much she knew.....I think she knew more than me! That was scary!
In science this week, I am learning all about chromosomes and reproduction. What a blast!!!! Well, not really:).

Hallelujah!!!!
I passed my Geometry B final!!! I am very glad to be done with Geometry and can quite honestly say......hallelujah I am finished with that!!!
This class was difficult and it was a struggle to get through, but I'm glad that I pushed through and made it through the test. Now I'm off to more classes.....like English and Biology.

Wanting Warm Weather
I am really tired of the cold, gray days. I'm starting to wonder if the sun will ever come out. I have recently changed my mind.....I like spring a whole lot better than winter!
It was hard to get up yesterday and get started on school after a weekend off. Now I know why I started to take off the weekends! I knew it was going to be a long day when I started off my morning smacking my wrist into the bed. The only good thing that came out of my day was being done with school early....and I was even wasting my time just looking over my grades!
Today is going to be a much bigger day of school. I am also watching Jordann and Whitney while mom is in class today. They are already on each others nerves. I have found it easy to ignore most of their fight. Sometimes I will be interested to see what the big fight is about.....other times it's just a bunch of nonsense.
Whitney has already told me that she can't wait until Megan gets home because then she is in charge. I just let her to keep dreaming!
Whitney went to another guitar lesson today and enjoyed it very much. She actually thinks its funny how many different faces Jordann is able to give our guitar instructor.

Whitney Goes to Guitar Lessons
Yesterday was guitar lessons for Jordann and I and we had a visitor come with us. Whitney! Mom started classes at BSU so she wasn't able to stay home and watch Whitney. Whitney really wasn't looking forward to sitting through the lessons. She was surprisingly quiet! She had school work to work on, which she seemed to do through most of the lesson. Although, I'm not sure how she could focus on her work with Jordann's loud electric guitar and all of the distortion she was using.
After guitar when we walked out, Whitney could not believe how hard Jordann makes our instructor work. So, pretty much all the way to the library they were arguing back and forth whether or not Jordann was "sassy." That's when I'm glad I'm the driver and I don't have to pay too much attention to their constant bickering. That's when I turned up the Daughtry CD!
When we got home, Whitney and Jordann thought that since mom wasn't home there wasn't any school. Yeah right! They tried negotiating with me....but I wasn't going for it. They finished in about an hour....if that. I still don't know why they put up such a fuss when they finish so early. I think they do it just to make me mad!
Megan does not work this week, which is nice to have her home for when Jordann doesn't listen to me. Of course, I always have to go track down Megan (usually blasting out her eardrums listening to her mp3) so that she can deal with it. One thing for sure: it's probably a good thing Megan doesn't watch the little to often.....because she likes to ignore them. I always know that if it's quite in the house....they are up to no good!

Finals are exhausting
This week I am working on finishing up my Geometry B class. With that, I have to pass a proctored final in order to pass the class. One thing I've found with finals is: it's very exhausting! My final was at 10AM, so I pretty much spent my whole morning studying for one hour and getting ready to go. I spent an hour on the test....and I still have to go back! Another thing that I noticed while taking finals is that you are starving after the final. Very weird. Once I got home, I couldn't decide what I wanted to eat so I decided to play with a waffle recipe. All I did is take a basic waffle recipe and made a few changes: whole wheat flour, splenda, chocolate chips, and buttermilk (we've been without milk for a few days now...and we aren't doing too bad but we also have some soy milk!). I think everybody enjoyed it because when I came back they were gone!
After my long morning, I decided to take a deserved break. I went upstairs to watch T.V. I now realize why I don't watch any T.V. there is hardly anything on anymore. So I decided to watch what was on the DVR. With me, the kitties slept right beside me. They were awakened by Demon coming upstairs and eating their food....they were not thrilled by the uninvited guest! After that, I knew it was my cue to go downstairs and do some biology. I am only in my second week of biology, but so far I'm enjoying it. The teacher is so far pretty easy with her grading which is a plus.
My mom is heading back to school which means I'm back on babysitting duty next week. Mom will be gone quite a bit more this semester and busy as ever, so I may or may not see her! The little two are not looking forward to mom being back in school because that means dealing with me!
Tomorrow, I will spend some of my day getting ready for the second part of my Geometry final. Friday morning, I will be finishing up the test and then I will plan on taking the rest of the day off....after all it is my birthday!

Welcome 2009!!!
I'm excited to start blogging about my daily activities. I'm interested to see how I will keep this blog updated....as I tend to focus too much on school! My mom would really agree with me!
I tend to keep busy with school, animals, instant messaging, music, guitar, and making sure things are clean. I love playing guitar, if grades weren't important to me I would play guitar most of the day. I love all types of music, right now I'm into A Fine Frenzy, Footloose, Vivaldi, and Taylor Swift. One of my main goals for 2009 is to not be too picky about how clean a room is. I finally went and received my driver's license in December of '08.
I have an older sister, Megan who is in college. Last Friday, her car broke down and I ended up taking her to school. Megan seems to have LOTS of car troubles and it usually ends up with me and my dad going to the junk yard to go get the right parts and fix her car. Over the weekend, we went to Jalopy Jungle and we found a drill....which my dad was thrilled about! It is really weird to go through the junkyard and see all these cars torn apart, some of them didn't even have any major damage to them. For awhile my dream truck was a 1960s Chevy Truck, but after seeing Megan go through her car problems, I think I ought to look for a more reliable car! I guess I'm learning a lesson as Megan is!
My two little sisters enjoy trying to annoy everyone. Jordann loves to giggle and goof around. I usually find her enjoying the twilight series....she's read the books many times! Whitney is loving her new kittens, Calvin and Hobbs (she named them!). She spends a lot of her day watching over them like a hawk. She and Calvin are best buds!!!
We also have two dogs, a lab we named Snitch (who went to the vet today) and a Siberian Husky whose name is Demon. Both dogs' names describe them well!
