review reflections!

this talks about the flatbread company. and how they were at a small location in Amesbury and now they have moved to a larger location in Portsmouth. It talks about how good the food is. The chicken is free range and the sausage is made on premises, which means there is no preservatives. the tomato sauce is homeade, and the pizza sause is made with spring water. They claim that their cheese is from Vermont, and the atmosphere in the place is homey. The staff members are very happy and laid back. 

on the menu their are not that many things to choose from there are only 8 differnt things. They also have really really good deserts.

Reports.

This section called reports is really about "blogs" haha.  I did not know that blogs was actually short for Web log. that a good little fun fact haha. it talks about how blogs can be about anything.. Politics, sex,baseball, car repairs, life.... anything you want to write about. Surprisingly a lot more people blog than you would think. Alot of media and stuff that gets on the news is discovered through blogs. Alot of people in the military blog. Journalist totally blog about everything. alot of drama gets started through blogs. In the section we had to read it talked about how Alexandra Polier, John Kerry's  secretary blogged about something and then everyone found out that they were having an affair... so there are deffently some downs about blogging even though i personally think that the good out weigh the bad. For john Kerry he may think differently lol

i think it is crazy how far the internet has come. back in the old days people used to write down all their thoughts in like diaries and stuff but its so crazy that i can write something down on the internet and in .5 seconds someone around the world can read what i just wrote! its crazy!

NEW MOOON!!!!!!

Over thanksgiving break I went and saw the movie New Moon with my family. I was obsessed with Twilight so I knew I was going to love New Moon. I love love love love love love love LOVE Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen) haha my sister on the other hand loves Jacob. Well i have always been 100% team Edward, until the moment Jacob took off his shirt haha. It was amazing. he had the best body i had ever seen ever. I texted my roomate and was like Haley, haha were moving to the country where people who look like Tayler lockner come from. I mean i will always love edward, but.... Jacob was looking pretty damn good haha.

I really want to fall in love with a vampire. im pretty jealous of bella. It isnt fair! She isnt even that pretty!!! god i hate her! haha it makes me real mad when i think about it. I deserve to be with Edward. At least im good looking haha he belongs with me :(

Orchestra?

I went to an Orchestra on December 3 in the UC with Kayla, we were going to go to some christmas concert but it got cancelled so we went to the orchestra. ive never been to an orchestra before and after this one i probably wont go back. The conductor was crazy!!!! he was seriously moving like 38649837 miles per hour haha. He kept twitching and looked like he had tarets or something. We made fun of him for a little bit and then kayla and I both fell asleep haha. The last thing i remember is finding a hot violin player and staring at him and dozing off haha. my friend Kasey woke me up when it was over. haha

F the POPO!

Before i came to college i had never gotten a ticket, nor had i ever been pulled over.... the first 2 weeks i was in Cookeville i got 2 freaking parking tickets! I came back to the dorms really late night and it was obviously dark and i parked in the stupid assistant hall directors parking spot because i couldn't see the stupid sign. so the freaking tech popo gave me a 20 dollar parking ticket. my second parking ticket came because i had a tv i had to unload and i had to wait for the football players to get out of practice because i could not carry it by myself. It was raining so i left my car in the little unloading place out front of my dorms for litterally 20 minutes. From my dorm room window i could see my car perfectly. I looked out the window and low and behold there was the stupid tech popo writing me a ticket! i have never ran so fast in my life! i sprinted outside so freaking fast! i tried to tell them my story and they wouldnt listen to me :( they told me i would need to appeal the ticket.. i started screaming at them haha i HATE them!!!!!!!! 

When I came to college i had never been pulled over. EVER. then the other night i was on the way to my friend Tayler's i got pulled over. it was so scary! i mean i didnt do anything wrong so i dont know why i was freaking out so bad haha. but i pulled into Tayler's apartments and then the stupid cop turned his lights on. he got out of his car and was like do you know why i pulled you over?! i had NO idea.. he said i had been swerving haha. First and for most i drive a stick shift that i can hardly drive while im sober, so there is no way in hell i would drive it if i was drunk so thats what i told the cop and he let me go... but now i cant say ive never been pulled over.... stupid cop! uhg!

Sorority Drama!

OK, the only reason i decided to join a sorority is because my mom and my sister's convinced me to. They all were in sorority's so they thought I needed to be. Ive never much of the typical "sorority girl", but i was like whatever ill do it. So in mid july i signed up for recruitment. A few girls from my Hometown go to tech and they are both ADPI's & so i assumed i would just go ADPI, well when i got here i mingled and met a bunch of girls and as soon as i met the ADPI's i knew i probably wouldn't go ADPI. They were super cool girls. but they werent my kinda girls.. I met alot of the girls In KD and i just felt comfortable around them. I pretty much knew i was going to go KD. They were all so nice to me and i just fit in. After i got into KD i felt like the girls slowly started to change and i mean dont get me wrong I love all of them, their my sisters... but during recruitment everyone was sooo nice. and then once i joined you can tell that alot of them had been fake just to get me to join. i mean i dont even hang out with the girls in my sorority. my best friend is a DG so i hang out with her pretty much all the time. and if im not with her im with my roomate and she's an ADPI. the girls in my soroity never even try to make an effort to hang out with me. And it kinda sucks... haha My big sis in my sorority is super awesome, but she doesnt hang out with me either. & your big is supposed to be like your mentoir kinda thing and i havent talked to Amanda in probably over a week. Sometimes i wounder if i made the right choice. I mean like i said i love every single one of my sisters... but i just dont really fit in with them. Alot of my friends are frat guys who know alot of the girls in my soroity and they tell me all the time they think its so weird that I went KD, because for the most part im not like any of them! It also pissed me off that my sorority believes absolutely everything they hear about me. I feel like im in trouble all the time for stuff that i didnt even do. People just run their mouth and because im kinda wild haha they believe every single little thing they hear about me and its sooo dumb. but o well everything happens for a reason and im a KD and i have good morals because of them and i have to hole myself to a higher standard then i normally would have so i guess everything worked out for the best :)

Dracula!

For university class we had to go to 2 pop culture events. So myself and a few other people went to Dracula. I really only went to see it because Sarah was in it. When we walked in it was packed. It was my first time at the Backdoor play house. We were one of the last people to walk in and their weren't enough seats for all of us to sit together. I ended up having to sit next to my ex boyfriend.... awkward haha that would be just my luck. The play was pretty good. I was actually kind of impressed. I had never seen the movie Dracula or read the book so i didnt really know what to expect. But i thought the actors did a super good job! The guy played Renfield was freaking hilarious. Sarah did a great job also :) i told other people to go see it! and i would deffently go see it again if given the opportunity.

uhg!

so im not really sure if this is what were supposed to be blogging about but im going to anyways. Because i really need to vent and my friends arent here. so writing helps me. College sucks i hate it here. I miss my friends alot. Cookeville is really boring and there isnt anything to do. Sorority is fun. its different and i dont like the rules but im learning to deal. My mom is in Florida because my grandma is in the hospital and its not looking very well. she was supposed to have surgery and they called it off because they said having the surgery would be like "taking off in a plane but not knowing if you can land or not". and last night when i talked to my grandma she told me that she thinks its her time to go. and i told her to call me before she died. so i could say goodbye. and this morning before my first class she called me and i talked to her for a little while and she sounded good but my mom told me that its deceiving. so its been rough day. but shes still alive. so thats good. Were doing pep rally for my sorority and its like cheerleading stuff. and ive been cheering my whole and its the only thing im good at. and its really frustrating when other girls arent as good. and i mean i know i cant expect them to be as good as me cuz ive been doing it my whole life. but it just stresses me out when stunts dont hit and when motions arent sharp. i miss my squad. i miss my friends. i miss my family. and college sucks.

Aarons Party

I have only been to 2 concerts in my entire life. Brittany Spears and Aaron Carter. I know its pathetic, but its true. Aaron Carter was my first though. I was so pumped to be going to his concert. I legit wanted to marry the kid. I knew every word to every one of his songs. I had even made a sign that said Aaron marry me... I was a weird kid. My mom knew the sound manager at the concert so I had really good seats, and when I say 'good seats" I mean it I had first row seats.

I loved Brittany

Im obsessed with Brittany Spears, I always have been. I have every CD she has i have clothes with her on it, I have gone to her concerts. Im a devoted fan! Well one year I had a cheerleading competition in Destin, Fl. I knew she had a house there and I had ever heard rumors that she was in town. I was determined to find her.. Which would be pretty hard considering i was only going to be there for 2 days and Destin is a very big town. So after i had competed on the last day we went driving around shopping just doing little things like that, well in front of us at a stop light was no other than Brittany herself. she had a shiny silver convertable. I started crying, I was so excited. I made my mom follow her for 20 minutes (what a good mom) finally Britt pulled into the subway parking lot I was so excited. She got out of the car with her mom, sister, and some boy. I proceeded to follow them into Subway. I was so nervous. I made my mom ask her to take a picture with me. she did, but Brittany wasnt really what i had expected she had some really bad acne and she is alot fatter in person and the girl is a straight up bitch. I was heart broken. I had idolized Brittany for like 6 years then when I finally got to meet her she wasnt anything I had expected.

That party last night was awfully crazy

High school rivalries are always really fun. They were even more fun for me because I was a cheerleader we lived for rivalry games. My high school's rival school was Webb school of Knoxville. We hated eachother absolutly despised eachother actually, we were always picking fights with eachother and messing with eachother. Well one Friday night we were playing Webb in basketball. As a senior it was my last webb game so me and a few seniors decided to be really rebelious and we drank before the game (stupid decision) haha 5 of us were drunk and cheering in front of both teams it was hilarious. Sadly Catholic lost the basketball game, needless to say we really didnt care to much. After the game we heard that there was going to be this really big party at one of the webb guys house so of course we felt the need to make an appearence. On the way to this webb party we made a few stops at some other parties and continued to drink. At around 12 we finally made it to the Webb party. Everyone knew we were from catholic considering most of us still had our cheerleading uniforms on. We were only at the party for 20 minutes everyone was dancing and having fun.. then in the distance I hear someone yell COPS!! i took off sprinting out the door with only my cheerleading uniform and uhgs on.. The door I had tried to run out only led me to a fence so i ran back in and tried to hide in a closet. well the closet didnt have a door. I sat in the closet trying to hide from the police that were scraming all over the house. The cops walked back to wear i was sitting and they laughed at me. they took me by the hand and said you need to come out here. it was so embarassing. All the rest of the kids were all face down on the floor and here i come walking out with a catholic cheerleading uniform on. it was awful. All the cops were yelling at us it was so annoying. They gave us all a sobriety test.. I failed. They put me in hand cuffs and threatned to take me to jail somehow i convinced them to let me call my mom. My mom came and got me. When i got in the car with my mom she had the radio on. The song that was playing was "i love college" by Asher Roth.

Spiritual Inventory

Spiritual Inventory

Do you have a spiritual belief or practice? Yes! Im Catholic

Is belief itself a problem? no!

How important is tolerance of differing beliefs in regard to this topic? I respect other people's beliefs but I am a devote Catholic

Do you believe in a divine being or higher power? yes

How do you relate (or not) to this concept of a higher power? I believe in the holy trinity of the father the son and the holy spirit.

What is the relationship between the physical and spiritual world? Jesus came down to earth in the physical form he died for our sins. he resurrected from the dead and is seated at the right hand of the father in heaven.

How important (or not) is spirituality to your personal identity? It is very important

Do you believe your spiritual beliefs (or lack thereof) continue to change over time or generally stay the same? What is the importance of change or its lack? It stays the same. I was taught the teachings of the catholic church. And what the bible says there is nothing to change about what i believe.

Memoirs

The first memoir that we had to read about war was interesting. There names were interesting, but the narrator gave pretty good descriptive details about what was going on, and how everyone he was with felt and their emotions about the war and how they felt about their country being taken over.

the second memoir is weird the old man in it doesnt believe in television which is pretty weird. I dont really understand how one doesnt believe in television. Its not really something you believe in or dont believe in. its kind of just there. I understand people not wanting to watch it, but you cant not believe in it. That just doesnt make much since. There are so many things that you learn from the media. Society is constantly changing due to the media so if you "dont believe in tv" then maybe they dont believe in media so therefore they arent conformed to the standards that the media has for everyone else.

I love Mick Jagger. therefore I loved this short story. It kind of reminded me of stuff my mom used to do back in the 70s haha. Girls back then were crazy. They just did alot of drugs and hooked up with everyone. I mean whatever floats your boat.

History with writing

My history with writing began along time ago.. Considering I learned to write in kindergarden id say im pretty much a pro. All through out school I have had to write. Weather im writing papers for a class, passing notes in school, or taking lecture notes, its all forms of writing. When I was little I used to write stupid little songs and my mom used to think I was going to become like famous for my songs. She even bought me a guitar for Christmas and was like keep writing songs. I haven't written a song in 6 years..  After September 11th happen my teacher made us write a poem for english class. I got an english award for the poem i had written. I dont write often anymore unless I have to, but i do enjoy it, and thats my history with writing!
