Smiles

I had so much fun this weekend. Chris and I finally got to go on a date, which we haven't got to do in who knows how long. We went to k1 racing. Which if you don't know it's inside gocarts. The gocarts go upto like 45 mph but there's not a long enough straight away that you can get up to that speed. But anyways Daniel told Chris about it awhile back and so we went and it was awesome. I spun out once cuz these stupid idiots kept running into me. And then I kept getting stuck behind the little kids and my time would of course suck. Chris did really good tho lol. After that we went home and chilled a little bit and then got dressed up and went to dinner and a movie. It was sooooooooooo nice being able to do that, esp since I'm only getting weekends with him right now till he's done with training. So I just chill with Davis or Christina when I'm not at school.
Lexi has been having major issues with obeying but yesterday she did really well. I am tired of her and would like a puppy of a breed not so hyper. Esp now that I'm in schol my school work pretty much takes up my time at home but it is nice to have company while I'm doing my homework. Speaking of school I have so much to do this week, but I'm excited :) my three little pigs project is just about done just got to add a few details and then mount it to my board. If I remember I'll post pictures of that and my pretty color wheel.

WOOOOOOO schoooooooolll!!!!

The past two weeks have been so hectic! I started school on the 12th and its like I hit the ground running. Its so crazy! My algebra class isn't bad at all since I am pretty good at math and this is mainly a refresher for me but its alright. My Fund. of design class is a review of my design class I took at quad C so its just different projects over things that I already know about. So that is nice. My color theory class is probably my FAVORITE class, one cuz i like colors and i like figuring out what goes together, two my professor is hilarious and he has had so much experience its awesome. My observational drawing professor has an enormous portfolio. My load for the first week wasn't too bad but this week its a little more since I have more painting and more drawing to do but no matter how much I have to do I love it. Its nice doing what I really want to be doing and not this stupid crap that quad C had me go through.
I took a placement test at the AI and placed so much higher than I did at quad C and it just made me feel so much better. I knew that I can do algebra and that I have decent English skills. Quad C had me take over 2 classes of developmental Math courses that I didn't need to be in, it was a waste of time and a waste of money. And with English I don't like writing but I'm not horrible at it. I basically felt like a failure at Quad C and going to the Art Institute had most definitely changed that. I am much more confident in who I am and what I am doing and it makes me very happy.

This past weekend my mom and grandpa came out to our house and spent the weekend with us. I really enjoyed it. I have not been able to get to spend a lot of time with my Grandpa since I was I think 17. He didn't get to go to my graduation and then couldn't make it to the wedding so it was really nice being able to spend time with him and see him.

I really need to either color my hair or trim it my ends are getting bad but I don't know where to go out here since I don't really know anyone and I don't really trust just anyone to do my hair so I have to wait till we go back to Texas. I miss Texas

Took a tour at the Art Institute today

Monday I might be starting school at the Art Institute, but I wont know until Monday lol, but I am very very excited! I have never ever been this excited about school.. well maybe my senior year since I got to do what ever the flip I wanted to but I think this is way more exciting.

While I was at the art institute today I saw a girl with turquoise and black hair walk by. It made me miss my hair desperately. It is something I most def. miss. I'm going to attempt to get a job at the art institute and if I do then hopefully I can dye my hair how ever I want to :D cuz I still have all my colors so if I really wanted to I could do it and possibly Chris could help me. The art institute that I will be going to is still very small but that doesn't bother me much they are still growing. I really hope I get accepted because even though it is a drive to get up there it would be so nice to go to a school that specializes in my field. AHHHHHHH IM SO STOCKED!!!!! :D :D

Were not keeping Lexi shes chewing up more and more of my stuff so shes going back home. I just can't stand her anymore. She needs a back yard and other dogs to play with, we are too low key for her so her going back home will just be better for her.

"Welcome to Cali!"

Nothing like and earthquake to welcome me to California. You might have heard about the earthquake on the news or maybe not idk if they'd talk about it in Texas but 28 miles from Palm Springs there was a 5.4 Earthquake Wednesday afternoon. I was just sitting at my desk talking to my mom and then it felt like someone came up behind me and started shaking my chair. I turned around and freaked out cuz obviously no one was there, Lexi was under my desk so it wasn't her. So as I looked around everything else started to shake. IT WAS SCARY!!! It was my first Earthquake and I didn't think I would freak out but I did. I felt like a little girl with the way that I freaked out. Almost immediately Christina called me and I was like DID YOU FEEL THAT lol and she was like oh yeah are you okay? Normally she texts me and was like did you feel that?! and normally I have no idea what she is talking about since its so small but man that time I most definitely felt it.

I was getting kinda frustrated at how dirty my kitchen was getting and how horrible it was set up cuz at the beginning it wasn't a big deal but as time went on I could tell that I needed to switch things around for more counter space. So since I needed to desperately clean it I just moved everything around and it looks 100 times better. Chris came home and I couldn't wait for him to go in there so I was like GO look at the kitchen!! :D :D he liked it :D Quote "I haven't seen it this clean since I got here" so its super mega clean!! lol

Boom boom!!

The 4th of July was great, really great. We got to go home and spend some time with the family. I'm really happy we got to go home, I miss my family and its kind of difficult not being able to just go over to one of my parents house and chill or get some free food :P. But really, I miss being close to my family.
Yesterday I jumped on my financial aid, I went hardcore scholarship applying for two hours, reading, applying, writing. I eventually got a massive headache and took awhile for it to go away. I'm almost finished with Darlene's Christmas present from last year. Yes I know its been more than half a year but its just taken a little bit to finish this part of her present. I did give her other presents for Christmas so its not like I just didn't giver her anything.

Lexi chewed up one of my flipflops last night. I close the door to shower and she goes for my flip flop. She hasn't chewed up anything for about three weeks now and she goes and does this. I think its just because she was mad at me, but oh well at least I have another pair.
