Spring quarter has started...

But it's not very warm out. For one class, I have 2 group projects, a final, and two books to read. For my other class, I have a group project, a book and packet to read, and a midterm and a final, oh and some online test or something. I have finally made a few friends that I sit with on a fairly regular basis, so that is nice too.

I am hoping tonights class will just be the overview of the syllabus, but I think we are starting the lecture as well. Hopefully we will get out early.

Other than that, I am still waiting for my new job to post so I can apply for it (it has taken months). Tonight is the Biggest Loser - watch it!

My stolen wallet...

So I hate people! Monday afternoon I went to the bank around 2, so I know I had my wallet when I got back (because I put something away). I went home after work without realizing that someone had come into my office when I ran across the hall and stolen my wallet out of my bag. I was only gone for a minute, and you can't even see my purse from the door. So someone had to come all the way in my office (my door was cracked about an inch, which I do all the time when I am in there! I could have been behind the door for all they knew...) and dig through my bag bc my wallet was in an inside pocket under my clothes and stuff.

So I got a call from my credit card company on monday night to verify some charges. Within 2 hours, they charged about $1,000 at 4 different stores! So I had to cancel everything. It really sucks. We haven't had any money or access to money really for the last few days. Supposedly we will get new cards someday soon, and I set up new bank accounts.

Not to mention that I had about $30 in there, and it was my Vera Bradley wallet (about $25). So dissapointing....

The police are investigating, but I would be surprised to see anything come of it. I would like to know who this person was, though, and if I had seen them in the building. Or worse, if it's someone that works here. Then when I tried to call my credit card company to get more information, it takes them 30 minutes to pull up my acct then they are asking me 20 questions about unrelated events in my life (for security purposes???) THEN tell me that I need to fax 3 documents in before they can even tell me what store location they used it at. FORGET THAT. I wanna talk to someone in America that can actually HELP ME.

Spring Break starts off nice

I am finally on Spring Break! I am so excited to have free time after work. It is exhausting to have class late a couple times a week.

Friday night we had some friends over and stayed up pretty late just laughing and having a good time. We watched a couple episodes of The Office (one of my fav! shows)
Saturday Ryan and I just hung out all day. We ended up going to get a new video game and we got there RIGHT before they closed. That was pretty lucky. It is a mario fighting game (fun fights, not with blood or anything), but I thought it was hard. Ryan always wins.
Sunday I went to a bridal shower for a new friend, and then I got free tickets to the Funny Bone (comedy club). I took Valerie for a girls night out. It was fun, but it ended up being a late night.
Tonight Kim is coming over to hang out probably, but I don't have a lot more plans this week. I think this weekend we have plans everyday, but I am looking forward to having a night or two free this week to just watch a movie or something. Oh, and to start watching American Idol.

PS - anyone watch Oprah's Big Give? It's so good! I forgot to watch it last night, though...

our snowman

I need to get more of the snow pics off my camera, but here is a fun one! We built this snowman in our neighbors yard. we were actually outside when they pulled up to see it. It was pretty funny.

later that night we were at home watching TV, and the doorbell rang. They had actually picked the snowman up and moved it onto our porch. Then rang and ran. It was pretty funny.

Builders are now building across the street from our hosue. I hope we get more good neighbors.

Blizzard of '08!

I think this is the most snowfall I have ever seen! We left work about an hour early last night so it only took us about an hour and a half to get home. Ryan shoveled about 4-5 inches off the driveway last night. But the time we woke up this morning, the driveway was completely covered again with about 9 inches of snow. We shoveled as much as we could, but it's covered again with a few more inches. In total, they are saying we had a record 20.4", the most ever in Columbus.

We did go outside to play, though! It was a lot of fun just standing still and falling straight backwards. It was like landing in a cloud. We ran around the house to the backyard and played back there, too. On the driveway, we made a HUGE snow turtle!

Need a break from school

So I have to read about 400 pages for next week, which would be fine, but I can't find one of my books. It was about $50, so I would REALLY like to know where it is. I have looked at home, in my car, at work...I actually think I accidently took it back to the library by mistake, causing me to have another book overdue. I have actually read the first 75 pages of that book, but I still need to read another 200+, so tonight the search is on.

My stats final was so hard I almost gave up. I mean, I kind of did. I ended up answering every question, although I didn't get them right I am sure. It was seriously the hardest test I have ever taken. totally NOT on the stuff we thought it would be on, and I know other people gave up as well. I can only hope for a huge curve or something cause I was counting on an A in that class.

I am just feeling tired of school right now, and there is still another quarter to go before I really get a break. Sure, after next week I will have a week off for Spring break, but that is going to fly by so fast, plus I will be buying books for the next qtr and organizing my notes and stuff from this quarter. I have to save everything for 3 years for my big comprehensive exam.

Vacations

So there are currently about 5 vacations I want to take. I love roadtrips, especially if I have a GPS thing, those are great!

I want to go to:
Smokey Mtns
Washington DC
MO, OK, TX, & AR
AL, LA, MS
BEACH!!!

Now all I have to do is convince Ryan to go on one of these...

Where is Spring?

I am really getting tired of this persistant snow. It's never enough to really enjoy, and it doesn't last for more than a day or 2, but then we get more. The roads have been bad, I'm always walking through puddles, and I hate the slush on my windsheild and the salt on my car. I CAN"T WAIT FOR SPRING :)

Tonight is my last stats test EVER! I am very excited. Tomorrow is my last lecture for my other class, then I have that final next week and I will be on break! YAY!

I can't wait for Spring quarter when I can walk outside with a Tshirt on and flip flops...
