I've Been Tagged! 6th Photo Game

My blog friend Kentucky Katie tagged me. I was to go to my 6th picture folder and find my 6th picture. Here is what I found!

This is really old...I took it at the Carolina Cup 2 years ago, and it was the 6th picture in my 6th folder. I havent looked at these in forever, what a fun post! haha...okay I tag Rick Rack and Pom Poms, Puttin on the G.R.I.T.S, and whoever would like to do this!

What a Week Already!

Hey girls!

OMG! Its so cold outside, and it ACTUALLY snowed today for the first time. I was so so so excited! I was sitting in class thinking where was this snow an hour ago!?

Well today has just been busy, I am so fed up with my English class I could scream, but instead I am rewriting ALL of my papers and taking them to my ditsy male teacher tomorrow with all my attitude and politely, but SERIOUSLY demanding that he take all of my revisions! You girls have got to understand, the English department here is great but its a little bit too much at times! Its just very rigorous, and I don't intend to learn every ounce of Shakespeare because I just don't care to do so! I get that it's important, but my Lord! I understand going to a liberal arts school makes for a more well rounded person, as they put it, but you know what being well rounded doesn't just come from the classroom! I believe that it comes from the kind of person you are, especially outside of the classroom! I have just never written a good paper, because I always write exactly like I talk and that doesn't always work. Luckily, he is very easy to suck up to, and he keeps telling me I have a B in his class! He is a retired business man, so maybe he just doesn't care and will really give me a B. Oh well, I am just gonna keep on smiling and pray for a good outcome.

On a lighter note, I bought these really comfortable ugg boots today and I am in love! I have been wearing my new VV fleeces, leggins, and uggs for 2 days and I am in Heaven!

So, I have been reading my "What Would Jackie Do" book today and I started right around lunch and just finished! I highlighted all of the good parts and oh my gosh I just love her!

Here are some of my favorite things about her!
-She got Vitamin B injections when she was tired...I get those too!! More because my B12 is low, but how funny!
-She did therapy at least twice a week because she loved to bitch about everyday annoyances and nobody ever had to know, she said it was money well spent...that part made me laugh! But she is probably right, it is probably not a bad idea!
-She loved Lilly!
-She gave great ways to prevent aging, and stress!
-She was a reporter for a newspaper!
-She treated everyone like they were the most important person in the room, and that is why she was one of the most loved women in America by everyone! She was just sweet to everyone! (This is such an important life lesson!)
-Lastly, her style and charm are classic!

I love the book, and I have mentioned it multiple times on here, so if you haven't read it yet, go get it!

I am going on Saturday for a tour of Charlotte Broadcasting School, in Charlotte, NC! I am really looking forward to it, I haven't told my parents yet because I have started doing more and more for myself and relying on myself to get things done and chase my dreams. I hate to bug them about what I want to do until I can prove it will be done!
This school is amazing! I would obviously still go to college, but this school offers a 4 month program with 4 phases.
1. Class Time where I would learn techniques and terms used within news
2. Practice Time where I would get to be in front of a camera in their studio and practice my speech and writing skills.
3. Demo Tape where I would produce and record my own demo tape which would have around 30 stories.
4. Lifelong job placement which is where the school will let me use their studio whenever I need it, as well as help me to find a secure job upon graduating college!

There are campus' all around America, but Charlotte is close to home so I will go there!

I am also applying to The American Academy of Dramatic Arts summer program in Los Angeles. It looks really great, and very hands on so I am looking forward to seeing what comes of it.

Lastly, I am applying for the year long Broadcasting Journalism program at New York Film Academy. I am simply applying to see what happens, and then I can make the choice of what I want to do.
I would clearly wait until I graduate to do either of the last 2 programs that I listed.

On another note, Wallace this weekend was so much fun! I went home with one of my roommates, and the first night we got there kind of late so we just hung out for a little bit and then headed to bed. Saturday, we went to Wilmington to shop and we saw Milly from "One Tree Hill" near the J Crew we had just come out of...I wanted to get her autograph, but I am sure she hates being bothered in public, so we just stood in shock for a second and continued our shopping! We also went to Marshalls and TJ Maxx, who both by the way have the cutest shoes right now!

That night, we went to a concert and the band was amazing! If they had a CD, I would have gotten it! They sounded alot like Dave Matthews Band!
After the concert, we went back to my friends house and watched "Scarlet Takes A Tumble" for the millionth time! If you haven't seen that, I posted the link in another post, and you NEED to go watch it because its hilarious!

Last night, my friend and I went to the mall to do some retail therapy (which I do believe is real therapy! It works every time!) I went to look at the Lilly because it was rumored she was having a sale, and SHE WAS! I know I shouldn't have, but I walked out with a new Lilly Oxford Pink Shirt Dress. It is really cute, and I know I will wear it a lot! In fact, I cant wait to wear it to church this Sunday!

I hope y'all are having a good Tuesday!

Finally Back on Track!

Hey girls!

I am finally back to blogging! It has been a good but eventful few weeks.

I don't really know where to start, so much has happened but nothing really major or funny. I have decided to go to Wallace this weekend with my friends and get my hair done next weekend. I cant decide whether to go see a band with my one roomate, or go to a birthday party with the other one! I will have to decide by 5. Both things sound so fun, and I dont want to hurt anyone's feelings!

This past week my brother made it to the soccer play offs, (I was one more proud sister!) my roommate and I surprised him and drove 5 hours from Raleigh to Shelby with self made pink and green tee-shirts to cheer him on with my mom and sister and all of the other fans! My dad was traveling thank the Lord, I really prefer him gone when i'm home. We got to the field about 7:00 Wednesday and got up around 6am Thursday to head back to Raleigh, it was worth every minute to get to spend time with my sweet family, and cheer Sambo on. Surprisingly, we didn't get lost on the way at all, although we did have a few close calls on the road! As you all know my driving record isnt spectacular or anything, but this time it was absolutely not my fault! This mini-van came up an exit ramp the wrong way! I was rapping away to "Here I Am"-great song!, anyways so this land whale is coming up the exit ramp like there is no tomorrow and I have to just pull to the side, I am screaming at her...but obviously she cannot hear me! I have a little bit of road rage in me! HAHA, and my roommate lays on my horn...I really prefer not to use my horn often because it can be so rude! This time, it was necessary! It was such a fun mini- road trip. We have decided we are driving to LA and back before we graduate, all 4 of us! I personally love road trips and riding in the car!

Last night, we all went to the Ducks Unlimited Banquet in Raleigh, I had the best time! They only had XL tee shirts, but that didn't stop me! I bought one, and am desperately trying to shrink it in the washer machine! When we got there, we had this great BBQ, and I of course had a G&T in my monogrammed tumbler! So much fun! They had a beach music band too, which is always great!

OH heres some juicy news! So I am still interning at the news station, and loving every minute! I finally have a tape in progress, but the guy that I work with definitely hit on me! UNAPPRECIATED!
He kept reading over my shoulder when I was texting my friends during a boring event we attended, and he kept asking who I was texting, if I had a boyfriend, who the boy was with me in the picture (I have a picture of me and my best friend as my back drop because HELLO we are in lilly!) and if I told my friends about him...eww! Oh, I should mention he is married with kids! Out of line, I think so! I faked a phone call and left, came home and told the girls ALL about it!
I decided to ignore it, unless it happens again but everything was normal yesterday at work. Everyone is friendly, but I just think that was a little far. I could be overreacting though, who knows!

I was so excited to hear that as a Whale Rep I got a $250.00 gift card from VV for Christmas!! I decided to order two of the Fairwinds Fleece's in Reef Blue and Kelly Green. SO adorable! I asked my mom and sister if they wanted one because I truly felt bad spending it on myself, but my mom said I should spend it on myself, so I did. Oops, I still feel a bit guilty about that one, but I got a cute hat too that I can share with whoever, it is a gorgeous green!



















I am also getting a promotional package soon, so if I get stickers I will surely give some out on here!

I bought the cutest black Pencil Skirt from Ann Taylor with these hot pink flats with bows! Yes, they are very loud, but they were just me...and they were calling my name in the line to check out, so I bought them!

















There are great sales going on right now, and I just cannot wait until after Christmas! OMG! I almost forgot to tell you girls what I want for Christmas! Besides UGG's and clothes, there is one thing that I am just dying for! You are all going to think I am absolutely crazy but thats okay! So I won't lie I have been milking the melanoma card all week with my mom to get her to consider this purchase for Christmas! I (for fun of course) was looking on e-bay at actual spray tan booths...they are a couple thousand dollars so until I get famous and make multi millions a year it really is probably not a practical purchase! SO I found this other really cool tan machine, and it goes in your shower, doesnt stain ANYTHING, and sprays your whole body in 20 seconds! All you ever have to buy are the refils, and clean it with water...yes that is it! It retails for $400.00 but in my opinion, it was featured on the Today Show so it must be worth every penny!!
Alot of the comments in the feedback were from women who had skin cancer and got sick of paying to go to the booths. Personally, I get sick of it too, its so embarassing to be so pale and go to a tanning salon where people look like they just got off of a plane from Hawaii and then pay $30 every time I want to be tan for 7 days, why not buy the machine...see I am very convincing! If only I could sway my parents!

















Well girls, thats all I have for now! But I am back, and I will post again soon!!

I hope you have all had a great week!

Hey girls!

I am a horrible blogger this time of year! I am still reading all of yours though, I just have no time to post!

I went to the Ducks Unlimited Banquet with everyone tonight, and oh my gosh it was fun! I got a tee shirt and a koozie, and anytime I get a new tee shirt I am a happy girl!

Until I can find time to post more, here are 2 youtube videos (in this order) that you HAVE GOT TO WATCH! I have never in my life seen anything so funny! I was on the floor for an hour, not to mention I randomly burst out in laughter during classes just thinking about it!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPsNi1k8Df4
( I love the whole entire video, but you can fast foward to 2:10 and your still going to see the funniest part!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1FBqwjzbSA
This is a guys reaction, and OH MY GOSH it is too funny!


I will post again soon.

I am headed either home to get my hair done, or to Wallace with my roommates for a concert?? Oh what to do, I just don't know!

I hope everyone is doing well!
