WOW-ZA!!!

I can't believe classes are coming to and end already! I am so ready for the summer, but I am not as ready as some of my other friends are. I think taking that little break last year really helped me out. I now have a major that I am happy with, and I am not absolutely hating school. I actually some-what enjoy it... which is weird. I don't enjoy getting up early, but I enjoy my 2 communcations classes. I think they are very interesting and they keep my attention and I've actually learned something in those classes this year. I owe a lot of that to Zach, my professor. You can tell he's passionate about his job and that he actually cares, and that has made a world of difference to me. Not too much longer now, and I'll be a college graduate! Then it's off to the real world to try to find a job. I might need to figure out what I might want to do first. Oh well, one step at a time.

Flawed

I would just like the world to know, that my brother and I, regardless of what you may think, are NOT perfect. And I think it's pretty unfair that you expect us to be. You shouldn't put us up on a pedestal, because we will eventually fall off of it, and let you down. So it would be great if you wouldn't put us up there in the first place. We'll make mistakes... guaranteed.

BABY?!?! (not mine)

Yeah, that's right. Come October, I will be considered "Aunt Marly". My brother and his girlfriend, Jessi, are pregnant. "Excited?" you ask! You betcha!! I only hope that other people can be happy and excited for them as well. Yeah, it wasn't planned... so what? It happened, and now they are going to be parents, and they will be great at it!
Not gonna lie, it's a little difficult for me to see my brother with a kid, especially now, but I have no doubt in my mind that he will make a great dad, and that Jessi will make a great mom.
They're pretty nervous, but who wouldn't be. It's a huge life changing experience, but everything will turn out fine and how God wants it.
I'm real sad though, cause they do live in Cincinnati, which is a good 3 and 1/2 hours away. I want to be a great aunt to the baby (we should find out what they're having on the next doctor's appointment day), but it'll be hard from so far away. But I'm sure we'll all make it work! :)
WOO HOO!!!!

Update!

Ever since Easter weekend, I have been so unorganized that it hurts. I lost my debit card, I've forgotten do an assignment or two, I've been late to work once.. I just don't get it. I'm normally pretty organized, but my life just isn't having it right now. I need a day to where I can just sit down, write out everything that I have coming up (summer is going to be CRAZY!) and clean my apartment and get everything organized again. Because this simply won't do anymore.

Classes are about over, which means finals are coming up. HOLY COW, where did time go?!?! I'm expecting B's in my 2 communications classes, and C's in environmental conservation and public relations. It's a shame my PR teacher absolutely sucks, I probably would have enjoyed that class/major if she wouldn't have ruined it for me. I'm pretty excited about next semester. I've got an english class (ehh), and 3 communications classes. 2 of which are with Dr. Zach Henning (who I've had this semester) and he's absolutely fabulous. I'm also excited to join the Communications Connection club next semester. This semester has been to busy to attend anything, but next semester will be different.

Contemporary services are also coming to a close. Summer is just going to be too hectic for all of us to meet every week. But now worries, they will start back up in the fall, with hopefully a new guitar player. :)

Summer is going to be great!! I'm a little nervous though, I'm going to be gone so much, but I have to pay for my apartment... we'll see how that goes. I might end up wipping out the $1,500 I have saved. :-\ But I'm pumped for all the things I'm doing:

• River City Faith fest (working and also singing for it): June 26th
• MAD CAMP: July 18-24th
• Mission Trip to Chicago: not sure of the dates yet
• Mitchell and Heather's wedding: June 5th
• David and Susan's Wedding: July 30th
• Ichthus June 16-19th

Plus hopefully a trip or two to Cincinnati and/or Bloomington. I. CANT. WAIT.

Work is going pretty great too. I had a bad night last night, but still made some good money. I'm starting to close more, which means more stress, but also, more money. So I'm ok with that. We're also starting to play volleyball after everyone gets off work at USI. We played last Sunday, and even though I messed up my knees, I had a really good time.

My tummy is growling, and I'm on my 2nd hour of my break, so I better go get some lunch!
