Spring=rebirth right? I took the car for the first bath today and consequently forgot how much a thorough car washing costs. 5$ to be exact but it was worth it to see the water streak off the wind shield after applying a streak free shine.

It was nice to wash the car and think of it as a new start after spring break. I know I tend to work better when my work space is livable so washing the car was the beginning to cleaning the room and getting organized for the rest of the school year. We'll see how long this mood lasts and if it rains tomorrow it's just going to be a sign.

Spring Spring Spring

It's beautiful outside so my drug of choice the past week has been rollerblading at Stevens Lake and driving around with all the windows down and sun roof open. I hit 1000 miles the other day and while taking joy rides and driving with my head half way out the window like a basset hound isn't economically smart, but is keeping me sane.

One day in particular I was 20 minute early to class and just reclined the drivers seat. Oh so relaxing when you can actually fit in the car with all you're school stuff

Spring Break VEGAS style

Imagine if you can 7 girls in a 97 Mustang on the way to KCI, final stop: Vegas. Today for the first time, after having my license for six years, was able to offer to drive a group ( more than two people) to somewhere. Planning a trip to Vegas with 7 sorority sisters is not an easy feat but knowing I can contribute in getting there is a nice feeling. I cant even express what a release this spring break is going to be for me and everyone else working their buns off this semester.

Now I don't know if I've mentioned but I am (was) a working girl. For a while I was a Staff member at the Tin Can and after working a few months, 20 to 40 hours a week was great when the pay checks came but not when I started falling behind on school work. So I quit but paid for my flight and hotel.

Now my mother keeps hinting and throwing a little spending money my way. The guilt didn't take long to set in. How can I accept money from my little mommy? After supplying me with a kick-ass graduation gift. I cant possibly expect her to give me any money. Maybe I can squeeze in some babysitting in before the big week.

Not speding through life, just this semester.

I hit a new all time low when I realized that I've been making ' to do list' on the back of my parking tickets. Now the parking tickets are problematic because it's a brand new car and I just don't want to have that conversation with my mother.

The to do lists aren't problematic but constant. I'm a senior double major at the University of Missouri and although that doesn't sound impressive balencing my work load, friends, family and job is just that.

I'll try to explain. The car replaced a 1996 green ford mustang, which I loved. But break down after break down just left me with out a lot of options. With graduation just over the horizon (december) my parents graciously thought the timing was perfect for a new one. With my school schedule in the shape it's in, and the state I'm in when my mom calls, I think she saw this as an opportunity to encourage me to keeping going.


My blog will be an account of my every everyday life hectic life and how encouragement, whether material or not will keep me going to till graduation and beyond.
