Enjoying my freedom, eh maybe too much!

Well now that Upward Bound is over I have had plenty of time to have fun and spend all my money. Errr, I did put about 700 in savings to help with the house payments I will be making, however I was banking on doing this Quintiles study which I got disqualified from. Well so now, I am pretty tight on the whole money thing, but thats ok, I am pretty thrifty!

The Minnesota trip was a blast, I got to do alot of really fun stuff, and stay in a sweet hotel. Haha kinda wish I was still there, but I like being home too!

Last weekend I moved alot of stuff up to my place in Maryville. My room is sweet now! Its going to be a fun year living with Garrett (plus the other residents of our house) again! Plus I am really stoked for this years classes. They all seem really cool, cause they are all closely related to my major. Hopefully I can still be the manager for the womens basketball team! (kinda banking on that too) I really liked working for them last year!

Well thats all for now going to a Demi Lovato concert tonight! Wooohoooo!

Almost done!

Well we are counting down the days until Upward Bound leaves for their vacation in Minnesota. A fully paid trip, which includes 3 nights in the Embassy suites, a twins game, trip to the zoo, valley fair, and of course the mall of america and much more. Haha not trying to brag or anything, but all of that is pretty cool for being FREE!

Anyways...Upward Bound has been fun, but I am about ready for it to be over, and it almost is. Next week is our last! So I am excited about that. There is still alot I want to do this summer! Including my second trip to Minnesota, which will not be free, haha.

Fathers day was really cool. We all went to the Royals Cardinals game. (My seventh royals game of the year) I tried, the famous Rib Stack sandwich, which is a 7oz rib eye topped with onion rings barbaque sauce and cheese, something that will fill a calorie counters menu for a month. However the heat was hot, and the walk was long, so I am sure most of that was burned off. The Royals lost :( but we did get to see a Pujols grand slam, which was really exciting!

Well gotta go teach my team sports class! Its pretty hot out there, so I gotta keep the kids in the gym :( I think its gonna be like that the rest of the summer! I think its time to go swimmin!!

Upward Bound

Well summer has been fun so far and now I have started my Upward Bound duties of being an RA.

Basically my job entails that I be here from Sunday at 5pm to Friday at noon, to make sure living here on campus is safe and enjoyable for the high school students in the program. We RA's are to plan activities, make sure students are attending classes and meals, and that the students are being safe and appropriate. Its a really fun job, and I get to do alot of fun stuff for free!!!

The Upward Bound Session ends July 6th. At this point we will be getting back from our four day vacation in Minneapolis. This trip too is free for me to go to as I will be a chaperone for the students. There are alot of sights and activities that we get to attend around the city, one being a trip to the Metrodome to see the Twins play the Yankees.

After Upward Bound is over, I hope I can find a way to make some money, (besides plasma) before going back to school, but even admist that me and Stephen are planning yet another Minnesota trip for me that would include seeing me grandparents. We plan on making a trip to the Metrodome to see the Royals for the first time outside of Kauffman stadium.

Well thats about all! Summers been great so far!

Finally Enough has happened to make this a little interesting...

Well summer has started and it has been great so far!

Its really hard for me to get on here and post, during school, I would spend night writing lesson plans or papers, and just take a break and write a post, just to change it up a bit, but now that its summer, arena football, royals games, random trips back to maryville, and free opportunities to go to Worlds of Fun, have prevented me from getting on my computer much.

I am really excited about the Royals this year, they are making the start of this summer really fun. They are playing really well and I hope they keep it up. On Monday May 4th, I went to my third Royals game of the year, and even though the boys in blue had been winning, they had not won while I was in attendance. Zack Greinke, the Royals star pitcher, pitched a complete game shutout and the royals won 3-0. It was one of the most exciting games I went to, because not only did I see an amazing performance, the Royals are actually in first place!

Arena Football is a funny thing. Some of you hear about it, and wonder what the craze is about it. Its really not that cool of game really, but what it does is get a group of friends together, outdoors enjoying the night. Even though the level of competition rises quickly to hot, we usually all just have a great time messing around playing some backyard ball.

Went to Maryville this week. Had to take care of some business, (get a deposit check, help a few brothers move, and hang out with the college friends) It was nice to see Garrett again, and I am excited to be able to live with him next year in the "Hawks Nest" (the name for our house since all the tenants are avid Jayhawk fans) I spend most of thursday, helping Jon move to Overland park. He is my pledge brother in Phi Sig that graduated this year, he is now going to Cleveland Chiropractic college (no I did not spell that right I bet)

Last night I got to go to Worlds of fun for free, and not only that, I recieved a free BBQ feast. The new ride "The Prowler" is amazing. It is such a rush. It was a really nice night to be out there, as it was not too hot, nor too cold. There were such some interesting people out there though lol.

Well thats about it, these are the things that make me just love summer!!! Hopefully I will find time again to post soon!

Finals Week!!!

Well its finally here, the end of school, just a few more tests and I will be out for summer. However I am taking a summer school class this year.

This weekend I was pretty busy, went to formal friday night, and then on Saturday went to the Royals game with Stephen and Malcolm. We played football afterwards and it was alot of fun.

Sunday was senior speeches at Phi Sigma Kappa. A few close friends are graduating, it was really a good experience.

Well gotta go study for some finals...almost there!
