Happy Birthday Dad!!!

I have been trying to make my dad a blog for his birthday but the picture uploader thing wasn't working.

So first, I would like to thank you dad for everything.

 I know I can be a pain in the butt a lot of the time so thanks for putting up with me.

I hope you had an awesome birthday.  And I am happy I didn't kill you with the cake.

We were able to stop by Aaron and DeA's on the way home from my knee appointment today. She had made Sweet and Sour Chicken... Delicious! and Cookies and Creme cake. Also delicious. Rock thought so too. There was not an oreo on that cake that he didn't lick.

Time For Summer

So, I have been looking and thinking about getting a second or a whole new job for the summer. I have worked at Lake Chelan Winery since I was fourteen and I am ready for a change and some more money. Marci suggested we apply to Slide Waters. I thought it was a pretty good idea so I applied, not thinking too much of it and knowing that the bulk of their interviews had already happened.
I had an interview with Fred and the new owner (I cannot remember his name) today and I think it went really well. I made sure to drop dad and Megan's names, both good names to mention during an interview with Fred. They said that they already have their staff for pool attendants and I was expecting that, but they said that many kids change their mind about working there either before the slides open or during. They said they would love to have me work a little at the beginning of June since a lot of kids are still in school and also as a fill-in later. They also said that a lot of the time fill-ins get more hours than regular workers and/or get moved up to a full time job.
If I can get  more money a week at Slide Waters then I will most likely quit my job at the winery because I am not getting the hours that I thought I would be given (at least for May) since I have been working there for five years. So, pretty much I don't really know what my summer is going to look like.

However, I do know that I will be getting my wisdom teeth out sometime this summer. I have an appointment tomorrow to see for sure.

And Wednesday is my final (hopefully) check up with Dr. Wahl, my knee doctor. I am hoping all looks good so I will never have to go back. We are going to stop by to see Rock and Ryker of course while we are there. :)

A Smack to the Head

There once was a girl named Whitni who had a sister named Marissa. One day, they decided to go play some catch and soak up some Vitamin D. After about 6 throws back and forth, a couple of Whitni's friends started clapping so she turned and waved. Marissa then yelled Whitni's name. When Whitni turned to look at her sister, she saw this white softball right in front of her. No time for a reaction. The ball then smacks Whitni in the face. Whitni's friends saw. Marissa and Whitni then walked back inside laughing/crying. Later that night people kept asking Whitni if she was okay. They all knew the story. Whitni didn't really tell anyone so she knew the guys that saw her had told everyone.
Cool, huh?
At least they have something to remember me by.
The End.

Major Change

I had a nursing class for the first block of this semester.  In it, we learned all about nursing, ways to get your RN and all that cool stuff. Our professor told us about accelerated nursing programs [I had never heard of them before]. This is when you get a bachelors in whatever you want then go on to an accelerated nursing program that is year-round for I believe two years. This did not sound like something I wanted to do so I ignored it. Last month I was getting the feeling that I wasn't quite ready to start nursing school in the fall/winter so I started looking at majors that I could possibly change to.

I started to think I would want to switch to Exercise Science, but when I actually looked at the courses I would have to take I was kind of overwhelmed by the amount of science classes.  I have never been the best at them nor really enjoyed them.  So I started thinking about Nutrition and a couple other majors but none of them sounded too thrilling to me.  I finally looked at what I would have to take if I switched to School Health Education.  It involves Advanced First Aid, Chronic Disease and Prevention, Health Promotion... They are all health classes but only a few science classes. Perfect, right? So I called the office and set up an appointment for this morning. After watching an orientation video and waiting for half an hour longer than I was supposed to, I finally got called to talk to an advisor.

She was really excited that I wanted to switch because they need more students in the School Health Education major. Next thing I know, she is handing me a super nice new pen and welcoming me to the School Health Education major. I should graduate in 2012 if all goes well. I will have to take a few spring and summer classes but I was expecting that already.

Two weeks... only two weeks.

Am I really only two weeks away from going home? From not having to worry about school or cleaning checks? From not having to live my life by the bus schedule? Or having to wake up early enough to catch that bus where 30+ people try to fit on and I am smashed between smelly people I don't know?

Yes I Am!!!

I have been thinking about it lately.  It's weird to think about. I have been in Provo for almost nine months with two two week breaks. I have gotten used to it. For the most part.

But I cannot express how happy I am to be back in Manson. I miss the lake. I have decided I don't really like the city. I like my small town. There are a lot of my friends that I won't see in the fall or won't see as often.  I will have new roommates that I have never met. That has been worrying me. I thought I would be all for it but lately I am scared that they will be difficult to get along with. But, I have decided that Nick and Marissa will still be here [along with Marci, Mary and Selene... AND BRONTE AND RONI!!!!] and there are a few girls that are only living a block away from me so I think I should be okay. And if I really cannot stand to be home, I will get better grades because I will be at the library, right? Maybe.

I only have four more days of classes, two reading days and then six days of finals. I am more than ready to leave Provo and go home. But, I will miss it a little.
