Just thought I'd do a quick little update while I'm waiting on my car (getting an inspection and oil change whoooooo) and since Holly left a little comment "time to update" baha.
Lets see; I applied to TWU and just have to send in all my info (transcrips, etc) and then that'll be done. I'm still working on Gallaudet's; I've already done the application part, and got all my transcrips, audiogram and now just waiting on my two recommendations and then once I get all those then I'll write the essays and send it all in! :] I've been talking with some of the people from Gallaudet and so far I'm very impressed with their hospitality. I emailed them one night asking when the deadline was and I heard back first thing in the morning (really? what kind of a college emails back that fast?) and we sent a couple of emails back and forth in that day and she helped me with alot of my questions and then contacted others in the school; one guy about helping us plan our trip there, the CHAIR and PROFESSOR of the Department of Education emailed me and basically said that she's excited to meet me when we get there. That was really cool! (I thought) So, so far I'm really impressed :] And SUPER excited! I can't wait to go visit and actually get a feel of the school and etc just to make sure I want to go there. I think I will still be sure I want to after the visit, but never know. But the thing that I feel really good about is the fact that I told her what I wanted to do career-wise and she gave me ideas and she was like well theres this and this and contacted others in those departments to contact me so that when I get there I can meet them and talk to them and etc. Every time I go into the advisors office at Tech, they're like "well, we have this test you can take" or "you still have one more semester to decide" ...... Where the hell does that get me? Why don't you talk to me and find out what I want to do and work with me? A test is not going to determine what I want to do for the rest of my life, but thanks. So they're alot more personable and I really like that :]
I still have TWU in case all else fails :]
Austin told me to rent "fireproof" and I did.. and I gotta say, AMAZING movie. WATCH IT! Lots of good quotes :]
I kept meaning to update like 15 million times this week because I thought I had so much to say but now that I'm here, I'm having total brain farts.
I wish money grew on trees. Literally.
I really like my classes; I get to sign and be in the "deaf culture" and thats what I love and thats where my roots are and so its cool :]
I really do have the best friends :] Holly, Austin, Jen... (theres more, brain fart) Y'all are always there for me and let me vent all the freaking time hahaaa. Love y'all :]
My last day off was last Wed and I won't have one until after V-Day. Boo. I got a couple of giftcards for Christmas to Davidson-Taylor and I can get a massage, hair done, etc but I decided on a massage and facial maybe? and I'm totally saving it for after V-Day :] super excited about that.
And I really really really really really want to bust out the four-wheelers and just go riiiiiiide. Ahh.
Yeah.
Catch ya on the flip side ;]

boo.
I'm on day #5 of being sick and it SUCKS. It hit me Thursday at work and then ever since that night I've been confined to my house. Sorta. Woke up Friday morning and had the achy body and the head that felt like a thousand pounds but still got up and ran SIX errands! SIX! good grief. Did miss class though.. But went to a meeting in which I found out some INCREDIBLE news, which I will detail about later ;] - and then Friday night just stayed home and Saturday was supposed to work and B covered my shift but then asked if I could come in 630-930 "if I felt better" .. so I suck it up and go in... and got worse. Sunday just went to eat lunch and ran a few errands, including getting some diff meds hoping they would help.. got the meds, but they don't help much :[ SOO B called the dr today and he said that if I had taken the meds he prescribed David and nothing helped then it's a viral infection.. and basically I would just have to wait it out and just take whatever meds I have to help with the "pain". BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :[ I hope I get better by this weekend, I can't miss out on Maureen's 21st birthday din :[
Back to the incredible news. - my meeting on Friday was with DARS/VR services (the people/program that pays for my books and etc) and I was just there for a "checkup" meeting that I have to do every 3 months, beginning/end of the semester(s), etc. And was telling him about my plans to do deaf education and go to TWU in Denton and etc etc and he was throwing all this info at me about other schools and etc and Gallaudet came up.. Gallaudet is the deaf university in Washington DC that I've ALWAYS wanted to go to and was my first choice but too expensive blah blah blah. and anyways, he said that if I wanted to go and applied and got in and all that then he'd pay for it!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D So they'll pay for tuition, room/board, books, fees, food (on campus ofc) and etc and to fly me up there in the fall and fly me home in the spring when schools done :] so that was incredible, amazing news. SO needless to say I've already been working on my application, just have to write two essays, get two recommendations, get an audiogram, and get my transcripts/SAT scores. But I'm also still going to apply to TWU in Denton just to have options and etc. But yay! SO exciting! It's just one of those opportunities that I can't pass up without trying for it.
But anyways :]
I'm gna go watch "Charlie Wilson's War" and eat my Krispy Kreme donuts and chocolate milk :] YUM!

whoaaaaa.. its been forever and a day since i've updated!
its now 2009 though! whoohoo!
I didn't really make any new year's resolutions bc for one, I didn't really think it out and two, I never follow through :] hahaa. but it looks like it's going to be interesting! applying to twu, so close to paying off my car, getting a new (used) car, visiting denton, last year at the cw :D, turning 21, last semester at TTU, mercedez's wedding, getting out of lubbock! whoohoo! i'm excited :]
so last week sometime i officially had my breakdown. everything got to be too much; my friends treating me like poop over and over and over and over and over, those that are closest to me in particular; just knowing that big changes are coming up and not really having the patience to wait and just wanting a new change, new people, new scenery, new everything; knowing that always do whatever i can and more for my friends and everybody and not feeling appreciated; butttttttt i drove around the lake, cried and got some hugs from zach and got to talk to barbara and spill it all out and feel MUCH better now.. little things are starting to come together like finding out twu's application deadline, classes for this semester, finding out that i can have my car paid off in like 6 or 7, maybe 5 more payments :D and trading it in/selling it and getting a new and more reliable car :D - thats extrememly exciting! .. idk what car yet but i'm trying to keep my mind open to options but it always goes back to the maxima's, which i've always loved. but. we'll see :] but all i can do right now on that area is just getting it paid off and work on the application to twu.. but anyways.
barbara and david are in dallas for the cotton bowl with chris and jen which means i'm watching our dogs and rusty :D he's so cute.. him and kylie played like crazy last night, chasing each other throughout the house and just going crazy and maddie and i "played ball" for like 5 hours, no joke. but it's been interesting bc maddie's in heat again and so her and gunner are pretty hot for each other right now so she has her panties on when she's in the house and when they're outside, maddie can't be out there with gunner or rusty so it's kinda been boys vs girls.. but its really funny when maddie and gunner start getting alittle hot and they wag their tails and get all happy and gunner looks back at me with this huge smile and maddie literally puts her butt in gunners face and turns into a slut and i have to break it up. and then theres kyli and rusty playing with each other, completely oblivious that their parents are trying to hook up again. bahaha. but anyways.
i can't think of anything else.
