And the Oscars goes to...

Life is like... a movie script. It's usually better when someone helps you write it. 

Well the Oscars were last night and I was SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY that The King's Speech won!! A little over dramatic? Maybe. But I loved that movie. Justin, Kody, Brad, Blake and I watch the show over at Justin and Kody's apartment and it was a lot of fun. The show was so long, but definitely worth the wait. I'm also really glad that Colin Firth won Best Actor. I just think he looks so good with that salt and pepper hair.

I got my World Lit paper and test back today. I made a low B on both of them. I have to improve on my next test and paper so that I can make up for my low daily quiz grades. I know I can do it.

I register March 10th for my last semesters at Auburn, unless a miracle happens and I get an internship in D.C. (I'm really hoping a miracle happens.) It's really scary. I'm trying to work in classes by my favorite professors so that I can take them one last time.    

My formal is coming up on March 26th and I still don't have a date or a dress. I'm starting to get anxious because I really need to find a dress soon or I won't be able to get it altered. I'm thinking about asking my good friend Kody to go with me since he's never been to one and Justin has been to over 5 already this school year.  But I don't know. I may find someone else. Got to keep my options open.

Just Another Day

Life is like... Camp War Eagle. Some people love it and some people don't.

I have had quite the past few days. Saturday night Justin, Kody, Amber, Brad and I got in the hot tub at University Village. I was a great night. Definitely some of the most fun I have had in a while. 

Sadly, Monday it was back to the grind of school work. I had a test in Scuba yesterday and a paper due in World Lit today. I'm not very confident about my paper, but really I'm just hoping for a B.  I also have a World Lit test on Friday that I'm not looking forward to. 

This weekend I'm going to see Brad Paisley in concert with my family and it should be a good time.Saturday is Theta's Founder's Day ceremony. I'm not really looking forward to that, but I have to go so I guess I'll get over it.

I'm just hoping this weekend is as much fun as last weekend.

So was I once myself a swinger of birches

Life is like coffee... it's much better when you have it your way.

Just a quick recap:

• Audrey's party was a whole lot of fun. I played beer pong with Trey Bush and we won 7 games straight. We were amazing. Audrey took a lot of funny pictures.
• My visit with Blake was fun. I liked his friends and I meant the man of my dreams...and his girlfriend of five years. But at least now I know guys like him actually exist.
• I started getting sick on Sunday and I was not pleased. Monday was the worst of it and Tuesday I started getting better. Monday and Tuesday I took some really long naps and put off work that I should have been doing, but oh well.
• I got back my test grade for American Foreign Policy on Monday. I made a C. Now that I know how the tests are set up I think I will do a lot better on the next one.
• I took a test in International Relations on Monday. I made an 81 on the in class portion and I turned in the take home portion today so maybe if I do well enough on it I can make an A on the test.
• This weekend all I want to do it relax but I know that's not possible. I'm taking a practice LSAT on Sunday,I have an extra credit assignment due Monday, a test in Scuba on Tuesday and a paper for World Lit due Wednesday. I'm not excited. It's going to be a busy weekend, but hopefully I can find some time to just hang out with my friends.

In unrelated news, on Wednesday Auburn University released a statement says someone had purposefully poisoned Toomer's Oak Tree and they were not likely survive. Why someone would want to destroy something that is so loved by so many people is beyond me. It hasn't quite sunk in yet that the trees are dying because no one is sure how much longer they'll be around, but when the day comes that those trees are no longer there that will be a sad day indeed.

Love and Politics

Life is like... a kiss. It is meant to be shared with someone you love.

So right now I'm blogging from Brad's bed and he's trying to help me come up with some new "Life is like..." So far he has given me some interesting ones. He's supposed to be doing physics homework, but instead he's trying to rub his feet on Audrey so she'll get off the bed. It's not working.

I had my first real test of the semester tonight. It was in American Foreign Policy. It tap danced on my face. It was rough. I just hope I make better than a C. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Speaking of tests, I'm taking a practice LSAT on Feb. 20 in hopes of preparing myself for the real thing. Keep your fingers crossed for that one too.

Now that the test is out of the way I can enjoy the rest of my weekend. I really hope it's a good one. I need a good weekend.

Lately I have had the biggest desire to be in Washington D.C. I just feel like Auburn is not where I need to be. I'm applying for an internship with an Alabama congressman that will take place this summer and I really hope I get it. I guess I'm feeling like this because I know my time in Auburn is coming to an end soon and I'm just preparing myself. Also, I just have this feeling that the love of my life is not in Auburn, Alabama, but in Washington D.C. I just feel like my life won't really start until I'm up there. I know it's a dog eat dog world up there and I'm prepared for that. I will do whatever it takes to make it. I will one day work for the State Department and then in the White House. 

And speaking of the love of my life, I have come to the conclusion that I will one day have a love that I came only dream of and that love is a love worth waiting for. I have been kind of down as of late because of some things that have happened, but I have come to the realization that even though I haven't found him, he hasn't found me either. That gives me hope. That takes a weight off my shoulders. Of course I would love to already be with him, but there's a reason we're not together now. Maybe we're just not ready for each other yet. I just can't wait for the day when I met him (if I already know him, realize he's the one). It's going to be great.

Just An Update

Life is like... a job. Sometimes you get a good one and sometimes you don't.

Thursday Kody and I went to the Eric Church/Jason Aldean concert. It was a lot of fun. While we were leaving the arena two girls got in a fight and it was funny to watch them make fools of themselves. I forgot to print out directions for the ride home and so we had to drive up to Atlanta and then back to Auburn. We got back around 1:30 or so and I had a quiz in World Lit at 8am that I hadn't even read for yet. Needless to say, I didn't do very well on the quiz. Oh well, it was totally worth it.

Friday was a very long day. I worked had class and then worked from 2-8. After work I came home, watched The Office, Grey's Anatomy, read some for class and then went to sleep. I was incredibly tired.

Saturday I worked from 11-3 and then came home to do some reading. I went to dinner with Justin, Kody, Riley, Riley's girlfriend Kate, and Riley's friend Will. After dinner we all went back to the boys' apartment to hang out. Justin and Kody were going out with another friend of ours and I was planning on going, but then decided it might be a bad idea for me. So instead I dropped them off and came back to my apartment to wait on Brad to get off work. After he did we watched Shutter Island while we waited to pick them up. So at 2am when the call came in we drove downtown to pick them up and take them home. It was a funny car ride and when we go back to Justin and Kody's apartment we all had a funny little talk. 

Sunday I slept really late and it was amazing. I went over to Justin's to watch the Super Bowl and Glee. I didn't really care who won but I would have preferred the Steelers. I was the only one who wanted that. Everyone else was pleased when the Packers won. Glee was funny. Brad kept making comments about how unrealistic it was and Justin kept getting mad. 

This week is going to be rough. I have a test in American Foreign Policy on Wednesday and I have no idea how to study for it. I'm very nervous. But after Wednesday things should go well for the rest of the week. Audrey's 21st birthday is on Saturday and we're starting the celebration Friday night. Saturday I'm driving up to Atlanta to go to Blake's office party with him. It should be a lot of fun. I'm really excited about it. It's cocktail so I have to buy a new dress, which I always love doing. 

So there's an update on my life. I hope it didn't get too boring. I really need to start taking more pictures so that I can spruce up my posts a little more.

Things Are Changing

Life is like... heartbreak. There is only so much your friends can help you with, then you're on your own.

This past couple of days have been kind of rough for me. Some things happened that I was not prepared for and I realized that I have been making someone out to be a better person than they are and that has now come to an end. I know it's bad that I am actively looking for all of the faults in a person, but I have to do what is best for me. 

Last night Justin, Kody, Brad and I went to see The King's Speech.

I thought it was amazing. The guys did not. I would highly recommend seeing it. I definitely think it should win the Best Picture Oscar.
