grafiti party

This weekend Ashley and I went to Greenville to visit all of our friends from highschool that go to ECU. Friday night went stayed with two friends, Fahlon and Jenna, in their dorm. That night we all went out to eat at the Chico's there and later went to a party to see some people that we know, but not anyone that we went to school with. Saturday we all slept in, and when we got up went to the dining hall there for breakfast, and it's definately not as good as the breakfast we have here. For the rest of the afternoon we didn't do anything at all productive, and later on we started getting ready for the grafiti party that a friend was having for his 21st birthday. If you don't know what a grafiti party is, it's when everybody writes all over each other with highlighter, then they turn the lights off and have black lights on so everyone glows. Because you would probably get written on no matter what it would be a good idea not to wear anything nice or that you wouldn't want to get messed up. Most people just wear plain white t-shirts. Because we didn't want to be so plain like everyone else would be, we decided to cut out some of the top of our shirt and some off the bottom and then wear a neon colored tank top underneath. It was really a lot of fun and it was so good to see everybody that we haven't seen in a while. After we were at the party for a while we all walked to the bus stop and went to the club. We really need a bus that goes around for free here because it is really convienent and easy, and no one has to worry about paying for a taxi or having to drive. It was also a lot of fun to go downtown because I haven't gone in forever. The rest of the weekend went really well, it just really sucked to have to have to drive back on Sunday after getting no sleep.

3rd person...

Earlier today after all of her classes were over, Layne went to work out at the rec center just like she does everyday with her friend Stephanie. At the gym they did some weights for a while, then went upstairs to do some ab exercises. Their friend Justin was also at the gym at this time, and joined them to do some crunches, then the three of them ran some laps around the track. The original plan was to run four laps, which is almost half a mile, but the girls ended up only running two then stopping. It was obviously very exhausting especially for someone who doesn't run regularly and was worn out from the previous workout. After the gym, Layne, Stephanie, and Ashley went to pick up their friend Travis to run some errands. Afterwards, they went to the mall because Ashley wanted some neon tennis shoes. She ended up gettin some Pastry shoes, haha, but they are actually quite cute. They rest of the evening was relaxing, and later the girls went to Hawk's Nest for dinner with her friends Ashley and Stephanie. Layne eats Hawk's Nest all the time and is beginning to get tired of the food that's there. Tonight, after a long debate, she decided to get pizza and some french fries from Chic-fil-A. Now she is at her friend Justin's apartment in the Landing with some other people to watch the Carolina vs. State game. State is currently winning; the score is 14 to 13. Now, Layne is going to finish watching the game with everyone and later go back to her apartment.

weekend at home

Well I finally got a new phone after having one with a cracked screen since like September. I got a Blackberry hoping that if i got a nicer phone I would try to take better care of it, but I haven't figured out how to do everything on it yet. Later Friday night I went with some friends to my highschool's basketball game against one of our biggest rivals. The game was really good for a while, but my highschool ended up losing. There were so many people there, and a lot of fans from the other school on our side trying to talk crap to us the whole time, but it was fun watching everybody argue especially when it's grown men who are dad's of a player. Saturday I slept in, and I really wish I hadn't of slept that late because the whole day went by so fast, but I spent some time with my dad before he and my stepmom when to the Hurricane's game in Raleigh, then went out to eat with Connor for Valentine's and everything. After dinner we went to Harris Teeter to return a Redbox movie that i had had since last Friday, and also to get another movie and some candy to take it back home. We ended up getting Lakeview Terrace, which ended up being pretty good considering I had no idea what it was supposed to be about. Today me and my roommate drove back, and I was really not excited to come back for some reason. I think it's just because i never get to see everybody that I would like to when I'm home, and plus I have a lot of homework that I just do NOT feel like doing right now. I am in a really bad mood and just want to go to bed...so I'm going to try to finish everything so i can go to sleep!!

This weekend...

...my boyfriend came to visit again. Friday night we went with my roommate and one of my friends to work out at the rec center, which is now a daily routine for me, and later that night we went and got a movie from Walmart's Redbox. There wasn't many movies that we were interested in seeing, but we ended up picking out Pride and Glory with Collin Farrel. It seemed to be an ok movie, but it dragged out soo much. There was this one part in the movie where one of the cops picked up a baby and were threatening to put a hot iron on it. I swear if they did that I was going to take the movie out break it in half and throw it out the door. Luckily they didn't do it.

Saturday morning/afternoon, around 12, we all went to Wag for the pancakes and bacon, and because it felt so good outside we decided to go to the beach. It was so wierd being able to go to the beach in February, and that's why I am glad to be here. Since it wasn't really hot outside and I knew it would be cooler on the beach than on campus we just wore t-shirts and shorts. It was so fun to be out there, a lot of people had their dogs out and children playing around. We didn't get to stay long, but I'm really glad we got to go. My roommate went to Greenville last night for two girls birthday's, so my boyfriend and I went to Mayfaire to eat and go to a movie. When we got there we decided to go watch the movie Push. I had never heard of it but Connor said it should be really good, and it was for a while. It lasted about 2 hours, and I probably would have enjoyed it more if I didn't have a headache for the whole thing or start to feel sick. It was really loud with the screaming and everything which only made matters worse. I was so glad when it finally ended. I think I should watch it again after I start feeling better. After the movie was over and we came back to the apartment, (the university apartments), it was only about 9:30 and I went to bed. I don't know how long it's been since this has happened, but I just felt so bad. So far today, Connor left a couple of hours ago and I have just gotten out of the bed about an hour ago. Now I just plan on finishing all of my homework, hopefully relaxing the rest of the day, and hoping to start feeling better.

NSG

My major is nursing, and i have known ever since my sophomore year in highschool that i want to work in health care, so i'm really hoping that all of this works out and something tells me that this is definately what i want to do with the rest of my life. I always see nursing students walking around in their little scrubs, and it really makes me excited and i can't wait for all of that. I know that it's extremely competitive to get into the nursing school here because of the number of spots that are available, but I think i can do it. I had some doubts at first and have always felt that i may not make it and have to figure something else out, but somehow last semester i made an A in CHM. WHAT?!?!?!?! I never expected that after failing just about every test and quiz without a curve. The way it works is we get exam replacement if we pass the final. So I must have done good on all the sections to replace all of my previous exam grades. I was so excited, and it really gave me the confidence that anything is possible and nothing is too far out of reach.
