Update....

Well, I'm back at school again. I finished classes today at 3, and have been doing some homework since then. I hope that I can get my PowerPoint for my speech completed today, since I have a lot of studying to do.

The weekend is past, thank goodness. This past one was a crazy one (see below post). I hope that this upcoming weekend will go very smooth. :)

Last night I set up a Twitter account. Yes, I joined the craze. It is actually really fun, because you can update your friends on what you are doing. :)

Well, I better get back to studying. :P

WHY ME?

I am not having a good weekend.

Yesterday, I found out that my history test is now going to be on Wednesday, instead of Monday. You would think that I would be happy, but I'm not. Because on Wednesday, I have a state government test that I need to study my butt off for. So now since my history test has been moved, it has hindered my studying plan. I am not happy about this. :(

My roomie has been driving me insane this week. I mean, literately insane. The girl will NOT STOP TALKING ON HER CELL PHONE!!!! I swear, the thing is plastered to her ear. You would think that talking on a phone that much would get old, but apparently it doesn't. I had to tell her to be quiet the other night, just so I could get some work done. You would think that somebody would think to be curteous to their roommate. Well, she's not. When she talks on the phone, she doesn't whisper. No, she talks REALLY LOUD. It is really starting to make me mad. But, I keep on reminding myself....four more weeks.

To go along with the roommie...my stupid suitemates were being really loud this week. I have no idea what they were doing for the past two nights, but it was really loud. They were stomping in their room and were making my floor vibrate. Remember, Amber....just four more weeks.

I almost got into a car wreck on Friday. I swear, I am never going through that stoplight in Warrensburg again. :(

Work went okay today. We had about 38 people, and I got $11 in tips. Not to shabby. :)

But, my Mizzou Tigers lost in the Elite Eight today. This loss ends their historical season, in which their record was 31-7. Their record is historical, because they hold the school record for the most wins in a season. This is impressive because this is the same team that had a record of 16-16 last year, with no NCAA Tournament appearance. They were the same team that lost in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament. But look at them now. They are Big 12 Tournament Champions, they finished 3rd in the conference, put a whopping 102 points on a Memphis team that only allows 50 points a game, and made it to the Elite Eight of the Tourament. My hats are off to you guys! You made us all proud to be a Tiger fan! :D

I'm trying to get my speech written that I need to present on Thursday. It's being difficult at the moment, because it is a persuasive speech on voting. I hope to get it done tomorrow, so I have enough time to study for my tests this next week. So, wish me luck. :P

Well, that's an update in Amber's world. :)

Why, oh why, did I buy that song?

I cannot believe it. I swore I would never like a Jonas Brothers song. I swore up and down that that would never happen to me. But I got to listening to their song, "Burnin' Up" and I liked it. It has a catchy beat and lyrics. And guess what? I bought it on iTunes. And now I can't stop listening to it. :(

I feel so ashamed of myself.....

Could school be any more cruel?

Ok, so you know college can be stressful. Well, next week is going to be absolutely horrible. :(

I found out yesterday that I am going to have three exams next week. That's right, three exams. I'm totally not looking forward to that! Luckily, they are spaced out to where I have a day in between each one. But, still....not looking forward to it. :(

I have two quizes this week that I need to study for. I have to read three articles for my history quiz and study five steps to writing a persuasive speech for my public speaking class. BTW, I better get on reading those articles....

I'm looking forward to this weekend, because the week after spring break is torchure. My suitemates have been extreemly loud over the past couple of days, which hinders the sleeping at night. I can't wait to get a good night's sleep and be able to rest. Oh, and I get my hair cut! WOO HOO!

Well...that's an update on what's going on in Amber's world. :P

This Past Week....

Well my spring break is officially over. :( I'm back at school, and I hope that this week flies by really fast. I counted out how many days I have until school is over, and there is 35! :D I have a little over a month until I am free from the crappy dorms and the school! :P

I had a lot of fun over my break. I got to spend some time with my Grandma Raines, which is a rarity these days. I went to the dentist to get a tooth filled, and then went shopping with my friend Juli. We had a blast down at the lake! On Wednesday, I hung out at Shady Gables and worked on my homework that is due this Friday. Thursday, Friday and Saturday was spent working at Shady Gables and tending to our lovely customers!

Also this week....the Missouri Tigers became BIG 12 CHAMPS!!! WOO HOO!!! I was so excited for them, because this is their first post season championship in 16 years! AND....today they beat Marquette, so now they are in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament! GO TIGERS! :D

And...I really really really want this shirt....

Ramblings....

I did get half of my assignment done last night, even in the storm. I just need to pin-point a city to create a new NBA team at. Fun.

I want to get this assignment done before I go back to school. I just want to get it out of my hair so that I can breathe next week. I have a feeling that the first couple of days will be rough, since my professors will want us to get back into the groove of things at school. :(

But, I just have to remember....only 1 1/2 months left for the semester! :D

Ugh...Rain

I'm sitting here trying to finish my humongous Geography assignment that is due next Friday, and I may have to postpone working on it because of the stupid rain. UGH!

It is lightning here, and so I really need to unplug my computer from it's charger so that it won't get electrocuted. So there goes the assignment work. Bummer.

Snow in Central Missouri



This is a pic that I took from my front porch during our last major snow storm here in Central Missouri. This is my barn on my family farm, and my barn lot. My cows aren't in the pic, because they were trying to get out of the snowy weather! :P

My New Blog!!!

Hey Everyone!

I decided to start a blog about the happenings in my life. Most of the time I will be talking about school and my jobs. I hope that you enjoy reading about what's going on in Amber's world!
