I am destined to be old and bitter
Men are shallow and stupid. I looked at Match.com just for fun the other day and every guy described his ideal date as "slender," and "athletic and toned." Now I know I'm not fat, but I sure as heck ain't slender either! I'm hoping I can lose weight before I move to a new city. And hopefully I'll get this surgery that I talked to my Momma about. Then I can start all over. In a city where no one knows me. I'll make new friends, start a new job, live in a new house/apartment. A new life. I can be anything I want to be. I'll create a whole new persona and decorate my apartment with things that inspire me and reflect who I am. I don't know if I want to live with random roommates that I meet on Craig's list. I think I want to spend the extra money to have my own place. Who knows though....we'll see.

My last semester of college!
Yikes, this is it so let's go out with a bang! I landed a T.A. job so woohoo! I will be TA'ing for a speech class and I'm pretty pumped about it. However I was already signed up for 4 classes and now I don't know which class I should drop. Plus Bright Futures now supports small course loads so I only have to take 6 credit hours per semester to be a full time student. Since I only need 9 more credits to graduate I can afford to drop one more class. Here are my options and how I feel about each:
Sex & Gender:
+It sounds super interesting and will hopefully be a fun discussion class with cool subject matter
+I don't have to write any papers!
-It's my only Monday class.
Writing About Advertising:
-Teacher is a B
+Freshman level class hopefully means it will be easy
+It's about advertising which obviously I know a lot about
-I have to write 4 papers, 4 drafts for each which =16 papers! yikes!
-I don't get out until 6:30
Meteorology:
+Easy A
-At a random time so it doesn't quite fit into my schedule
I think I'll go to all 3 classes again tomorrow and and see how it goes and then decide which one to drop tomorrow night.
***Update:
So I didn't finish this post last night and today I did go to Meteorology and decided I would be bored to tears so I will drop that class. Plus I forgot to add HOT EYE CANDY as a pro to Sex & Gender and that beats the easy A of Meteorology. And I dropped the writing class so that's over! Yay.
Tomorrow I have a meeting with John about the TA position and then its the weekend! Woohoo!
Tonight I will read my Sookie book and watch P.S. What a relaxing evening. :-)
I have also been trying to decide what to do for my bday - invite people over and have cabs pick us up and take us to the bar, or throw a party at my house. I plan on shopping around my birthday and getting stuff from Hot Topic and AE because I have coupons and gift cards. I also need some new brown reefs or rainbow flip flops.
Oh and one more thing - my cousin is a genius like me so she came up with the idea to buy gift cards as a way to budget money. Each month buy a gift card for the exact amount you want to spend on groceries, gas, clothes, whatever and then you can't overspend. Publix is the only store I can think of to do that with but maybe I'll think of some others.

2009 has officially begun!
So I had a wonderful Christmas with my mom, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins! Oh and my brother and his girlfriend too. It was a very white Christmas in Wisconsin with a few feet of snow on the ground. The snow sparkles like Edward Cullen and I got to wear all of my awesome winter clothes! 
We snow-boogied down the hills and rode horses, toured cheese factories, shopped, and of course we ate and drank a lot. We also played lots of board games, went to see a movie, went out to eat, and took lots of pictures which will soon be posted on Facebook. I got to watch the Champs' Sports Bowl with the Noles vs. the Badgers and of course the Seminoles were victorious! Grandpa was disappointed but there were no losers that night when we ordered KFC for dinner. Culver's, Leinie's, cheese curds, the Packers, and the Badgers are just a few of my favorite things in Wisconsin. It was awesome and I am so sad that I had to leave.
So New Years is a time to make resolutions and I have a few. When I say a few I mean one because I think resolutions are rarely ever kept and then everyone feels like a failure when they don't achieve their goals. I have more of a "to-do list" than actual resolutions. Here are some things I will do in 2009:
Classes start on January 6th and I need to drop forensics and possibly intro to atmosphere so I can pick up a sociology class and possibly a communications class. I'm officially bummed that I did not get the internship at Kidd Group. Oh well....now I need to focus on UofDreams campus marketing and getting a job! Yuck. I even started researching cell phone plans for when I have to get my own individual plan and pay my own bills! Yikes! I don't want to grow up, I'm a Toys R Us kid.....job, bills, responsibility - oh my!
Oh and I guess another resolution is that I will blog more often! haha. Let's see if I can keep that one.

- Book a trip to Boston for Spring Break to see Megan.
- Apply for jobs and internships for post-graduation.
- I'm going to try to stop obsessing over the little things. Don't sweat the small stuff. No more getting angry over the A/C or the dishwasher. I want to be less stressed!
- Save money and be awesome!
