Comparing Life with Movies..

Let me just start by saying.. this last week was very intense.

I honestly feel like it has been going, and going, and going.. and when I think about it, I see this pink little bunny with his drum walking down a looooong highway with no end in sight- then I picture myself grabbing a baseball bat.. and you can just use your imagination from there..

The week started off pretty well with my first day of school. How exciting! I was sooo excited for this day- I am starting the fun part of school, where I am actually learning about things I will actually use. I get to my first class 15 minutes early: Children’s Literature. The professor is the same gentleman who interviewed me for the program and I couldn’t have been more happy to have learned what his class was about. He has a very softspoken voice and is very, very intelligent. However, this idea of having a perfect first day of school was ruined by bitchy/snobby attitudes coming from the peanut gallery in the front row. Now, when I think of these girls, I think of that movie Mean Girls.. then I can see myself suddenly begin to act out a scene from Bring It On.. where I am from the hood getting ready to have a cheer battle with some yuppie princesses who try to make everyone else miserable. The teacher asks “what is professionalism?” In my head I was thinking: ethics, respect, honor, loyalty, dedication, all of those (in my opinion) great answers. However, every girl in that front row raised their hand frantically waving in this man’s face. He calls on the first girl and he answer is “Dress attire”, okay I will give her that one I thought to myself.. then he asked “Well what type of attire”… then the girl turns around literally in her chair, and continues to answer while looking under the tables at everyone else, “Ugh, not wearing jeans for one”… and then or “open toes shoes”.. and then “nicely done hair.” Then I think to myself.. I am wearing jean capris, a nice shirt, a black sweater, with a pair of gladiator sandals on.. and my hair with a side french braid kind of in a messy bun.. hmm.. directed at me, probably not- but who knows? Everyone around me was in the same attire. I don’t know why I let that bother me, but for some reason it did.. I thought to myself.. “These are the girls that will be teaching my children some day..” I don’t know.. scares me a little bit..Anyway.. the rest of my school week went splendid! I looove all of my professors and am so excited to learn and take what I can from their classes. More on classes later.. its only been those days with going over every syllabi oh yes.. syllabi.. plural for syllabus haha.. and what our expectations are. Besides that.. there is sooo much more about my week!

On top of school this week.. we had try-outs for volleyball.. Monday-Thursday from 2-7:30 I was at that gym.. CRAZINESS! Now, with the two schools split in half, we only had 36 girls show up, with 2 seniors who had to be cut :-/.. and 4 academically inelligible leaving us with about 34 girls after some more showed up.. to make 4 teams.. that is scary.. On Thursday I got to pick my team.. I have a team of 9 very enthusiastic and hard working girls that I couldn’t be more happy about! I am sooooo excited for this.. 1/5 of my life dream has come true :) .. I guess the second fifth.. if you count Jake in there ;) The decision was tough to move from Riverview to Pasco, but I could NOT be more happier.. Even though there were long days in there.. it has so far been one great experience! I am soo stoked to see how the season turns out!

On top of volleyball and my first week of school.. I have to conquer the never ending disaster of Hurricane Lexie.. (my room).. I have recently torn everything I own out of my closet, dresser, and desk, pulled everything from behind my bed and underneath it and have heaped it into one big pile on my floor and bed.. which I had to clean a little corner off to sleep on the past couple of nights. I have so far gotten my dresser back together and reorganized my closet.. but I cant seem to find places for all of my other crap. Because I have decided I have way too much crap, I have since given 15 pairs of shoes to Goodwill, 4 pairs of jeans, and oh- about 18 or so tops.. All clothes I have held on to for FARRR too long… or just have no desire to wear anymore.. then I took what I have and organized my closet by color.. ohh and it sure does make a nice fancy rainbow.. hopefully I can keep up with that! Now I just have to overcome my fear of spiders under my bed.. and then go through my desk!.. Then I will have a nice neat room to be able to focus and relax in.. inseatd of walk and jumble around trying to to sprain an ankle from stepping on something.. not to mention wash the 6 loads of laundry that just keep building and mutlplying almost like little rabbits.

SOOOOO much to do.. so little time!

Now this has become a novel.. let me make it a little bit shorter of a novel.. I have some crazy, busy, intense weeks ahead of me.. I do not think Thanksgiving Break could come any sooner! :)
