Daytona 500

My list about the Daytona 500: 

1. Longest day of my life.  8 hours of watching something that I don't know squat about, much less really care about, makes for a really long day.  Like a really long day.  I thought that it was time to go home and go to bed by the time we left., of course it was only 6PM, so definitely not time to go to bed, but not as much time as I hoped to spend with my Valentine was left though.
2. They do get breaks and get out of their car when a piece of the road falls apart and they have to take 1.5 hour break.  I asked Gregg if they ever go to the bathroom and he said that they are usually too dehydrated that they don't have to go, but if they do they would probably just go. (Forrest Gump style) *side note: One of the drivers has shit their pants, but still won the race so I guess the really do just go.*  Gross.
3. Thank goodness for DVR so we didn't have to watch all of the footage of the break.  I don't know what they could possibly talk about for that long...I mean it is just cars making a lot of left turns...enough said. 
4. There is a whole lot of redneck is NASCAR, and no manners.  Shame on Earnhart, Jr.
5. NASCAR was not as boring as I thought it was going to be.  I would watch it over tennis and possibly golf.  I did however take a small nap during the second break of the road breaking before the finale of the race.
6. The last 10 laps are really the only laps worth watching...a lot of action happens during that time.  Congrats to Jamie McMurray on a great finish.

7. Cautions are pointless.  I think that they should just let them go crazy.  It makes it more entertaining for the viewers when the cars wreck.
8. I like how shiny the cars are when they start the race.  It makes them look less ridiculous with all of their sponsor stickers that are big enough for an alien to see from Mars.  I also like that they make them wear matching gear.
9. The wives/girlfriends that were shown are beautiful.  What is up with that?  I mean some of the guys are not that bad looking, but I wouldn't say smokin' hot about any of them, but their wives...that's another story.
10. Overall I would have to say that it was not the worst thing ever, but it definitely was not college football.  Go UTES!

So I hope that everyone had a great Valentine's Day doing something that they enjoyed, or something that their honey enjoyed.

Happy Valentine's Day to Me! Thanks Gregg you are the best. :)

Yes I am totally aware that I am 100% spoiled.

It's Official

Major Declared.

Class of 2012!

BAD STUDENT

I have a confession to make.

I am a terrible student. It was one of my goals was to be a better student this year, to get my head on straight, and focus and pass my classes with flying colors. Well let's just say this might not have happened as I had planned out.

First, my Calculus II class is at 7:30 AM. I have done my best to get my @$$ out of bed to make it on time, but when I realized that my teacher is sort of a tool bag...my motivation went out the door. I however, have made a promise to myself that I will for the rest of the semester no matter how shotty I think my professor is I will go to class as often as possible and do much better on my assignments and tests that I have this first part of the semester. If I go to 90% of my classes from this point forward I am going to reward myself with a new purse, therefore, I am not allowed to buy, borrow or trade for a new bag/purse until the end of the term.

Second, I failed my physics exam with flying colors. Don't worry kids I was not the minority this time around. 493 other students failed this exam as well. So I feel that the teacher and TA's did not do their job in making sure we understand what the hell we are suppose to do on each test. I feel that they are already trying to do a better job...I just think it was a little late. Like try 6 weeks too late. So although I don't really know how to do better in this class because, unlike my calc class I actually show up to all of these classes and discussions without fail (They are in the afternoon, much easier to be awake for these) I feel that I have to have some sort of motivational goal for this class as well. So I have decided that I will read and understand 1-2 chapters per week and perform at least 5-6 problems from each chapter on my own...no help from Gregg. I feel that will be the best way to understand what they want on the test and to understand the subject as a whole.


Third, I missed an assignment on my online class. I got my dates mixed up and I don't really know how that happened because I meticulous about getting my dates right for tests, quizzes, and assignments. I always put them into my calendar at the first of the term and double check when the teacher reminds and posts them throughout the term. When I logged in and saw all of these announcements and red warnings that I was late I couldn't believe it. My heart almost fell outside of my body because I was crushed and convinced that I am a failure student and don't deserve to go to the U. So I am going to grovel, and hopefully my professor takes major pity on me to at least gives me partial credit on my peer reviewed article that I was suppose to submit 12 hours ago. Other than that I will just take better note as to when my next assignment is, and definitely not procrastinate on submitting assignments on time in the future.

So there is my confession. I am totally crushed that I couldn't get my head into the school game and actually change my bad habits. I guess bad habits are harder to break than I originally thought. They say that admitting is the first step to recovery, so I felt that I had to confess to the world that I am really a bad student and I hope that our future doesn't take after me as an example student until after I have broken my bad habits and actually become the student that I know I am.

Disclaimer: If by some off chance Gregg actually decides to read my blog, please don't be mad that I haven't been a very good student. It is in no way your fault, and I hope that you will still help me with my physics homework because I would have been totally 100% lost in my class if it wasn't for you, and as you have read I have made a very stern promise that I will be better from this point forward. {hearts}

Welcome Home

How does he know that I love lilies? 

I'm just that lucky I guess!

Thanks Gregg for the beautiful flowers.

VEGAS!

So they say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas (except for herpes, that shit comes back with you).  With that being said I can only share a few details of Janba 2010.  I will give you my top 8 moments of the trip.

1. Bowling with my brother and kicking his butt.
2. Shopping everywhere...I got so many good deals and cute things!  I want to go back this month...oh wait I think I am.
3. Lance Burton falling from a chandelier 10 ft. in front of me. 
4. Getting severly drunk with everyone at the mixer, carrying Jen O. up to her room (good thing she is only 90lbs), getting sick in my mom's car, losing my glasses, making Nate sick so that he lost my glasses, and shots...more than I can count.
5. Bowling without my glasses, and only missing a total of 10 spares in 6 games. 
6. Going to lunch with the Vice President of Storm Bowling Company.  He is like a big brother to me and I am so thankful for being able to represent the company.
7. Being ridiculed relentlessly at the banquet awards party by Romeo...yes now everyone says my name like they are Barry White.
8. And last but not least...making new friends, rekindling old friendships, and being able to bowl all week with no school or work! :)
