Cheering!

Today was the first day of working out with the cheering girls! After a long hard work out in the pool and working for three hours, I worked out with the cheer girls for about half an hour and man was it the hardest 30 minutes of my life! I am SO pumped to get back into it!

Tomorrow I have 2 classes and I am going to workout with April and Jenny and go to Zumba again! Whoo hoo! I love working out even though it hurts, I actually feel decent about myself!

I am super excited about this weekend. I am visiting my WONDERFUL boyfriend and Poppa :) I haven't been to MA in a while so I am definitely looking forward to it. It also feels good because I am going there, and CJ doesn't have to come get me. I am taking a bus with Kelcie, Tara, and some boy haha. Well I am going to go kick my roommates butt for talking to a dumb boy :)

Yay I Can Post Them!

So a few weeks ago I was visiting CJ in MA and on my last day there we went to Hampton Beach where his Nanny lives. She got the whole Twomey family together to do family photos. It was a gorgeous day and everyone looked amazing. (Yes Hallie, you looked FABULOUS and not even a little bit wide ;)) The sun was shining and the water was warm, and picture after picture was taken. Since I am not part of the family, I stayed on the sidelines and watched, it was lovely! As the pictures on the rocks were done being taken, so I thought, CJ's Nanny told me she wanted a picture of the two of us. I was so shocked! But I was very happy even though I looked awful and was not prepared at all! Now that the pictures have been bought, I can finally post them and I am soooo happy!


So today April, Jenny, Melissa, and I decided to do the workout called Zumba. I figured since it was just dancing it would not be hard, but boy was I wrong! I was sweating and shaking, stupid me didn't bring any water and I have a bad habit of not staying hydrated during the day. It felt good to work out again though, and I am going to keep doing it! Ugh I need to stop procrastinating and do my math homework....le sigh....Have a wonderful night everyone! :)

I Set Off The Fire Alarm!!!!

SO today, after Jenny and I walked to the credit union, we walked back into our room and it reeked of chlorine because of my swimming class. So, I decided that the room smelled back so I grabbed my Oust and sprayed up above my head thinking it would circulate and make the room smell better. Well, Jenny says um I think you are spraying the smoke detector, as soon as I stopped spraying....BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!!! We looked at each other and snickered and ran into the common room. It eventually stopped and we nearly died laughing.
Today I worked out a lot, it was great! I had an hour of swimming, and then April and I worked out for an hour. I feel great, tired, but GREAT!! Tomorrow night Jenny, April, and I are going to a Zumba class. I am super pumped. I am working out more because cheering is coming up :)

Farm!

Good Luck!

SOOOO, today CJ's mom, Hallie, is giving a speech. Not just any speech, a speech on organ donation. See, her father, Poppa, had a heart transplant, and without organ donation, I shudder to think what may have happened. Organ donation is such an important cause, and I think that everyone should consider being a donor. I am one myself.

Hallie has a wonderful group on Facebook that everyone should join. Click here to see the amazing things she has done.

So this weekend was a wonderful one. CJ came to visit and my roommate was gone at work so we had the room to ourselves. It was nice to be able to spend time with him again. He also made me a character on World of Warcraft, *sigh* I said I would never play it, but my character is pretty! She is a pinkish blood elf names Arastari. I got her to level 5, and yes I am VERY proud of that >.<

So I suppose I should go organize and clean my room before Jenny gets back, it is a disaster! Good luck Hallie! You will do great! And everyone should definitely think about being a donor, it isn't hard to do and could save a life someday.

I LOVE Care Packages!

Today I received a WONDERFUL care package from my aunt. It contained yummy, chocolatey goodness along with other yummy treats, my straightener(!!!!!), and an adorable pillow that sings "You Are My Sunshine" when you squeeze it (that has been our song since I was little). I love getting mail here. It makes me realize people do care even though I am away!


SOOOO if anyone wants to send me something it is 366 Dakin Hall, Farmington, ME 04938

As I said, I LOVE getting mail :)


So today was pretty uneventful, honestly I slept most of the day. I went to my first class, got out at 9:30, took a shower, and slept until 1! I went to my class at 1:40-3:20 and then just relaxed for the rest of the day. I had dinner, got my package, did a little reading, and I am now here doing this!



Tomorrow is Friday! Yay!!! I am SO pumped, well, not for work, but for the fact that it is the weekend!! WHOO HOO!! Have a wonderful night<3

Money....Money....Money...

I have none. I need lots. This is a huge issue for a college student who has to pay money every month. I am worried. I am not going to be able to pay this! *Sigh* It is just one thing after another in my life.

Things are happening so fast. It has already been almost 2 weeks since I started at UMF and I feel like it has been forever. College payments are due the 15th of every month, and it is just money I do not have. This is rough on me. I am trying not to let it get me down but staying positive is brutal.

Schoolwork is going great though. I was told by me English teacher that I am a very good writer and that my Significant Moment paper was very good. I am having a hard time in math, but I am surviving and getting everything done. Early Childhood Education is a drag right now, but eventually we get to observe kids, which I can't wait to do. Geography, well, we won't go there. It isn't the work, it is the teacher. Lastly gym; I surprised myself today. I benched 90 pounds, leg pressed 230, and my body comp wasn't as awful as I was expecting.

So I guess things could definitely be worse, it is simply money dragging me down. Oh well, I will do my best to get through this. What doesn't kill me will only make me stronger right??
