slacker week….more like busy bee week for sga!

Filed under: Uncategorized — jAcKiE @ 3:29 pm

spring fling was a ball! we had some new events that i think we rather well. monday was “sundaes on monday,” all the different clubs created their own dessert and the students got to vote on which one that thought was the greatest. people also donated money towards that and all the proceeds went to cancer research. a great organization i know. then tuesday was my favorite “Kickball!” even though i didn’t get to play because i had to work, just the thought that elementary memories could be brought back from a game made me happy. wednesday was the “Amazing Race.” Zack actually done that one with some of our friends and WON! yeah i know…i’m so proud of him. he was pretty pumped too. thursday was the all-time favorite “Flag Football.” you know everyone goes crazy over some football. I was just happy watching in the sun lol. (i am so loving this weather by the way). :) friday was the “NACC has Talent.” we didn’t have many enter as i thought, but the audience loved all the acts. plus the free pizza for lunch. it was a great ending to the week. :) we had the dance that night all well. the theme was “PJ with the DJ.” cute title ain’t it lol?! you can thank me for that one. lol jk ok ok…it was me and maybe jordan…just maybe lol. it was a blast!

as much as i hate to see spring fling end, the end of school is yet coming to an end too. :( and here i was thinking classes might be at a downfall since finals are coming up, but no. i am sadly mistaken yet again. i have got so much work to do and now only a short time to do it in! :( can you say STRESSED!? it’s times like this that make me want to be little again, where the hardest decision i had to make was debating on which crayon to use lol. oh well….those days are just memories now…

well i’ve got things to do and a puppy to check on. catch me next time!

…a happy ending to a stressful week :)

Filed under: Uncategorized — jAcKiE @ 3:22 am

SO…I GOT HIM! MY LITTLE PUPPY….HIS NAME IS MUSHU! :) (YES, JUST LIKE THE LITTLE DRAGON OFF MULAN) HE IS SO ADORABLE! WEIGHS ALL OF 2 POUNDS. 1 POUND FLUFF AND THE OTHER POUND BODY! LOL HE’S AS TALL AS HE IS WIDE. I’M SO HAPPY! YOU KNOW, FOR ME TO BE A SOPHOMORE IN COLLEGE, MUSHU IS MY VERY FIRST PET. I MEAN NOW I HAVE HAD ANIMALS. MY PARENTS HAVE PETS, BUT TO HAVE ONE TO CALL “MY OWN,” THIS ONES IT! :)

oh and guess what!? Calhoun had their speaker’s forum just like we did when we had Pamela Duncan here, but they had Michael Knight. Well guess what?! Mrs. Reeves, our SKD sponsor, and I went. So much fun! We tried to invite more people, but no one seemed interested, so her and I was like ok….we’ll just go ourselves. But that’s not the best part…my old advisor and really close friend, Carolyn Jones, lives right up Calhoun’s alley, so we met up with her! Oh it was so great! I have missed her like crazy! She made Mrs. Reeves and I dinner and even went to the forum with us. It was so so good to see her. We got a tour of the house and everything. Mrs. Reeves and I even played the wii with Carolyn and her kids, and let me just tell you I bowl a lot better on that thing then I do in real life lol. If those things weren’t so bloody expensive, I would invest in one lol. But I’m just a poor old college student lol. jk I’m so going back to visit her more. I actually can’t believe I have went this long without seeing her. :( Y’all just don’t know….she was my best friend at Northeast and probably knew me better than almost anyone there. She’s still a woman I look up to. She’s practically another mom to me. I am beyond blessed to have her in my life.

This has been a beautiful ending to a stressful week! Catch me next time!

yep…pretty much

Filed under: Uncategorized — jAcKiE @ 2:53 am

this semester has been so difficult for me. idk what the problem is….oh wait, it’s laziness. they say the spring semester is always the hardest and by george they aren’t kidding. i mean don’t get me wrong, i’m not failing or anything, but…. i’m just not up to my standards as a student. maybe it’s just all in my head…ugh! i just want a break. it’s like everything wanted to happen this week. projects due, a sga meeting coming up, and then there is spring fling rigth around the corner! wow! yeah, i know….it has just totally crept up on us. i’m pretty excited about it, but this week seems to be dragging. hopefully spring fling will go according to plan. (cross your fingers) :)

on another note…work has just been awful! :( idk what has gotten into people, but why do they have to choose 10 minutes before we close to decide to shop?! i mean honestly, couldn’t they find time within the 15 hours that we are open to shop. nope! that’s why they choose otherwise. sometimes i feel like they just don’t have any respect….oh well, you would think that since i have been there for over 4 years i would be used to this now,  but i’m not. i still get upset about it…it’s just life though i suppose.

oh, Zack and i went and looked at a puppy today! :) super excited! we saw an ad in the paper and we called the guy a little while back and the puppies are almost ready! i can’t wait. (that’s why we went and saw them) they are pomeranians….the cutest little things ever! i’m supposed to be getting one by the end of the week! (i’ll be sure to let you know how it goes) :)

y’all catch me next time!

this isn’t what i signed up for!

Filed under: Uncategorized — jAcKiE @ 3:51 am

so i’ve been thinking….you know all the clubs i’m in: presidential host, sga, skd….ok, well i know it doesn’t sound like too much, but it is really starting to take it’s toll on me. plus having a job…ugh! i need a vacation lol. you know sometimes i feel like no one understands me. i don’t know why and i know that there are a ton of people that do what i do, but i guess they just don’t stress or worry like i do. or maybe they just handle it better than i do…you know, the whole juggling thing?! it amazes me how time flies too! i mean i feel like i just started northeast and here i am a month and a half away from graduation! oh i don’t even want to think about finals right now! :( too late….here i go lol. just another day in my shoes i guess….

speaking of shoes, this weather is retarded! it’s april and i’m running around in snow boots and my winter coat. i don’t get this at all….it was only last week i was prancing around in my sun dress and now i’m freezing the moment i step outside! yuck! i so hate cold weather lol.***zack and i are doing great (yeah, i know i so  just jumped subjects lol)! it will be 5 months wednesday! yeah, i know! it’s crazy….sometimes i feel like him and i are this old married couple, and then there are days i feel like we just met. i guess that’s what you get when you fall in love :) fancy how my little neice’s birthday is the same day as our anniversary. she’s going to be 4. grown ups don’t kid when they say “they grow up fast.” it still amazes me. she shouldn’t be this old already. i wish she was still little, but it’s going to have to be ok (since i can’t really change it). we’re going to have a new addition to the family in december :) yep, my little sis shanna is prego! i’m pretty pumped! ok…there is no pretty to it, i am pumped. COMPLETELY STOKED! :)

any who….i have stories to read, powerpoints to do, a test to study for, sleep to catch up on…the usual. so just catch me next time! :)

sweet home alabama!

Filed under: Uncategorized — jAcKiE @ 4:01 am

oh i can’t even begin to tell you how excited i am to be home! i didn’t think i would miss it as much as i did….have you ever thought your life should be a movie? well let me just tell you, when we got off our last plane, i knew Zack was there and i took off at a dead sprint through the airport! all i could think about was i had to get to him. :) i mean we’re talking i had my purse in one hand and my backpack on and everything. it should have been a scene in a movie i’m telling you! it was the sweetest moment. as i was trying my hardest to get to the baggage claim, all i could think about was i hope he’s some where where i can see him. i’m riding down the escalters, looking from left to right trying to find him, and there he stands! it was one of the happiest moments i’ve ever had! i dropped my bags and just jumped into his arms! i didn’t want to let go, and we’re in the middle of the baggage claim. :) lets just say my trip had a happy ending the mintue i saw him!

oh, my speech went great by the way! i had so many compliments from students from like texas (and you know my own peeps) and some other sponsors too. that made me feel great! i’m just glad i could represent nacc in such a good way, even if it was just reading a memoir. mrs. reeves was telling some of her sponsor friends too and that made me feel good! we got to go to the mall of america while we were up there. i had to take a bus and a train, but by george we made it lol! it was an experience let me just tell you…and an unforgetable one at that. the mall was crazy big too! i’m talking 4 stories, rolller coasters, aquarium, the works! i wasn’t all impressed as i thought i would be though. i mean it was great and everythin, but it had all the same stores as the ones back home do. still enjoyed it though… :)

well, i have some more unpacking to do, a TON of homework to catch up on, and plenty of sleep that needs to be slept…yeah, reality hit us when we were on the planes home lol. catch me next time!

i said burr…it’s cold up here!

Filed under: Uncategorized — jAcKiE @ 3:34 am

so let me just tell you, some of these speakers up here are some of the funniest people i think i have ever heard! one even talked about the unclaimed baggage in scottsboro! all the northeast kids were screaming and yelling like “oh yeah! ” lol :) and some of these northern people just aren’t the nicest people i’ve ever met…to say the least. i think they are just jealous because we talk cuter than they do lol! oh well…and did you know they didn’t charge tax up here! i know right. there is a target like a few blocks away, and they so didn’t charge tax on the stuff i forgot to pack lol. the only places that do charge though are the places to eat. but i mean, if that’s the only places, by all means lol. and there are a TON of starbucks up here. it’s like every where you look you see one. :) as much fun as i’m having though, i miss zack :( . and bless his heart, he misses me too! lol some of the people from our group went and saw the play “rents.” i wasn’t too keen in going, but they seemed to have enjoyed themselves. one guy that’s with us, Devin, is like a theater guru lol. so you know he had a ball there! oh and 3 of us mustanges won the scholarship skd gives away. i was so proud of them! they got it presented to them at our luncheon. oh, and i over heard some like people who actually live here, and one was saying how it was supposed to be warm. it’s only 40 degrees up here if that and this man is talking about getting out his shorts! i was like wow….i mean when we say it’s going to be warm that’s one thing because we’re running around in sun dresses not thinking anything about it being in the 70s, but when snow flurries are in the atmosphere and you say that’s warm, that’s another thing lol. oh well….you know i’m bundled up! i look like an eskimo for crying out loud lol, but at least i’m warm. :)

well, tomorrow is the day i give my speech! i’m getting pretty excited, the only downfall is i have to give it at like 8 in the morning! :( oh well….it’s times like these that naps were invented. i’ll be sure to let you know how it goes!

we only have one more day….it’s one of those love/hate feelings. i’m having such a blast up here, with people i love, but then again i’m just ready to get back. i’m getting tired of these northerners looking at me like i’m stupid when i ask for sweet tea….yeah, you read right! they don’t have sweet tea up here! i know….it’s just crazy! down right ridiculous! lol blah! blah! blah! it all i hear when they tell me that lol! the banquet is tomorrow too! i’m just excited we get to dress up. :) you know we’re going to look FABULOUS! any who…i must go! i’ll blog ya later! :)

March 25, 2009

so i’m just flying on an airplane…looking out the window….watching the clouds go by…

Filed under: Uncategorized — jAcKiE @ 3:16 am

yes i know…i brought the barney song into im blog, but i thought it fit lol. we’ve, the skd crew, have been traveling all day to our national convention…in minnesota! we had to drive to huntsville, then fly to memphis, then finally, the VERY cold minnesota! ugh! i hate cold weather. maybe next year they will do the convention in like florida or something lol. (not like i’m going to be there even if they do, but it’s worth a shot) :) on the way to the airport (zack took me by the way) i started crying :( i was so upset because i was going to be gone from him for like 5 days! i mean i know it sounds silly, but i hated it. it’s the longest we have ever been apart. now let me just tell you…the first plane we took was SO small! i thought i was going to flip! i mean it olny seated like 50 people. and to top it all off it was raining, so you know that made a plane that small hit even more bumps than usual. i got so scared on the plane i startes scaring the man sitting next to me lol. it’s not like i meant to, but i have never felt so scared on a plane. (and you’re talking about a girl who used to fly quite a bit) the next plane we got on wasn’t too bad. it was bigger and you know what they say in texas “the bigger the better!” i got to sit next to our sponsor (also my teacher) mrs. reeves. we chatted the whole way like it was nothing lol. i loved it. plus she taught me how to play hearts the right way on the plane lol. when we got to our destination, i was so relieved. cold, but still happy to be on land lol. our hotel is so nice! and we got great rooms. mrs. reeves’s is even better though. i’m talking this place it fancy! i can’t wait to explore the city in between sessions :) . well….you do know the mall of america is up here lol! a girl just can’t resist her shopping. :) but right now though, i just want to relax…it’s been a long day. i’ll be keeping you updated while i’m here though. :)

oh, before i go. i have a memoir that i have to give saturday. it’s on the hurricane evacuees. i’m pretty excited, a little nervous, but i’m hoping i’ll do fine. i got volunteered into doing this by the way, but i don’t mind :) i just have to read over it a few times before i read it in front of people i don’t know! ahh! jk you know i like to be the center of attention! :)

catch me in a little bit!

March 24, 2009

oh no!

Filed under: Uncategorized — jAcKiE @ 2:45 am

So…spring break wasn’t too shabby, but it could have improved. Oh well I guess…there is always next year. All I did was SLEEP (and work :( ).  I had good plans for over the break too, but you know plans are always meant to be changed…and of course mine did. You see, I was going to be a good student and do all my work and maybe even get ahead and get so much of it out of the way…..lol let me just tell you, I didn’t do a thing over the break! Trust me, I’m paying for that now, but at least I had good intentions lol.

I was on my way to school this morning, pumped because I was going to get to see everyone, then the closer I got the more I could feel all the stress I had left at school over the break coming back to me. It was such an awful feeling. OH NO! So by the time I got to school, I wasn’t even happy anymore lol. I was so upset at all the work I could have and should have got done but didn’t. Oh well….this is what I get for putting things off.

SKD has our national convention this week. I’m completely stoked! We’re going to Minnesota, so you know what that means?! You guessed it….WE’RE FLYING! I’m pretty excited yet a little nervous too. It’s going to be the first time I have been on a plane since I was a kid. That last statement makes me sound old doesn’t it lol, but it’s true despite the fact I’m only 20. I’ll be sure to let you guys know how the trip goes. I know it’s going to be a blast….I figured since I was the vice-president of the club, I might need to be there :) .

I hate to have to say good night so soon, but since I have to work tomorrow I have to pack tonight. xoxoxo

Catch me next time!

the best part about spring…is the break! lol

Filed under: Uncategorized — jAcKiE @ 3:16 am

once upon a time, there was this girl. she was a pretty girl from what she was told. a busy girl too….well one day…..lol i’m just kidding! just thought i would try and spice this blog up a little bit. as of right not it’s the only humor i can get. spring break is here….i’m thankful, but you know me, i have so much to do i don’t even know if i’m going to get to enjoy it. i know i have to work, that’s a given. then i have a ton of school work to be working on…so i’m pretty much booked for the week. sounds like such a blast doesn’t it?! why no! but hey, you have to do what you have to do sometimes,whether we like it or not :( . and trust me, i’m so not enjoying this. i would love to be at the beach right now where some of the nacc herd is, or even in atlanta with my family, but it doesn’t seem like i’m going to be doing much. bummer! i’m hoping this week might turn around (considering that it’s only monday). cross your fingers. the only great thing so far is that i get to sleep in! :) i’m telling you, going to school 5 days a week and having 8 am classes everyday is killing me! well, it’s wearing me down anyways. i know y’all think all i do is gripe, but there is a difference between having a schedule, and then a busy life! all i can do is bare through this and i know it will be all worth it some day. maybe not any day soon lol but it’s coming…..i hope y’all have a great week! try and relax…..maybe i should take my own advice lol! :)

I don’t think I have ever been so stressed?! So much is coming up that I can’t stand it.  I have like 3 assignments due all in one day! Yeah I know…and it’s for the same teacher. I guess that’s what I get for taking her back-to-back. And they aren’t just easy things…I’m talking a research paper, another paper, and a poetry project group due! Then a week later I have another poetry assignment due. AH! That’s how I feel. I mean I have cried over all this stuff because it’s honestly beginning to get too much. 6 classes, 3 clubs, a part-time job, and a boyfriend…I’m exhausted just typing it. I can’t even have a break because there is something that needs to be done.

….all I want is a break!

Catch me next time!
