Instead of writing this blog I should actually be reading my homework for Communication class but what fun is that? So, fall semester has started and I'm taking 15 credit hours! A lot for working part-time also but I'm looking forward to graduating next spring, which I'm pretty excited about it but also very nervous. Hopefully I will find a job and can move into my own place (another scary thought!). I feel pretty strongly about my artwork and ability to be in Graphic design through comparing myself to other people in my classroom and just overall the professors seem to like my work.
Nothing really new with work, same old same old. Meshia went off to college and we hired a new aide, Kaylee. She's pretty sweet, we can relate on a lot of topics and I'm looking forward to hanging out with her sometime! Also I'm planning on doing a photography session for the Friends of the Library. They're doing a cemetery tour of people buried at the Riverside Cemetery, sounds odd but it's really neat. They pick certain historical people and tell their life stories, which can get quite interesting!
Family wise everyone is doing fine. Kendra has grown so much, she can walk and somewhat talk now! Went to Ludington, MI last month and that was pretty fun, wasn't really too motivated to do anything though that whole week - guilty! I did read a bunch of books though, hehe. Can't really think of anything else right now to mention - until next time =]

With Christmas here and family getting together, I started to think about all the previous get togethers and just fun in general that I've had with my family. A huge part of my fun comes from being with my cousins Manda and Becca. Oh how we use to play with Legos building shops, houses, vehicles for hours on end. Most of the fun came in the actual constructing of the town. Which is similar to the Sims game, which we also loved to play. When we were a few years littler, we would bust out my boxes of barbies and animals to turn the upstairs part of our house into barbie world. And even littler than that, my Grandpa Dame had this game on his computer called the Secret Garden. We use to love playing that game and from what I remember it was about this garden which this giant ruled and there were seasons and games you could play. I would like to play this game again just to see if it is as great as I had thought it was when I was a kid. Another great game we would play is Roller Coaster Tycoon. Oh the many times we used to build roller coasters that were unsafe just to watch people freak out. And making "happy" and "mad" places for people to go where we might drown them or try to make them happy. Sounds morbid but really it was all fun and games haha! Bionicles was another fad we were into which was when Bionicles were actually cool looking. It would almost be able the same as Legos besides we would sort of combine them together. The many hours we would play and create adventures together, laughing and having fun. I, in a way, miss these times when life was so much simpler and carefree. Didn't have to worry about school all that much, driving, working, bills etc. I only wish that there were more memories like the ones I have. I wish that my cousins could have lived in the same town so that we could have hung out everyday. It's too late though and so I just hope there are more great memories to come!
This year I didn't help Mom decorate the church for the Christmas party. I was waaaay too lazy to get out of bed. I went and got Kendra at 11:30 to get her in her Christmas outfit and take her over to the church. I was kind of nervous because the roads had some snow on them and I didn't want to jinx anything but if anything would have happened and Kendra died or was seriously injured I would have felt horrible for the rest of my life. Luckily we made it all right over to the church and got unloaded. Mom had mostly everything decorated and so that was fine. I basically watched Kendra the whole time because Mom was busy making punch and doing other things. We ate at 1pm and the food was all right, nothing too grand. Santa came around 2 and we got some pictures of Kendra sitting on his lap, she was being goofy so they didn't turn out that great. After that we then opened gifts and I waited until everyone had opened theirs to give Mom hers. For school in my Drawing I class we had to draw a portrait of someone we knew and so I had picked Kendra. It turned out so well so I had decided to give it to her for Christmas. I was sooo nervous when I handed it to her and she opened it. She loved it (like I knew she would) and I was so relieved! Everyone around us was like oh my gosh! and we ended up showing everyone haha. It was great but I was nervous of people maybe getting food/drink on it. If that would have happened I would of died! It was a pretty good day all in all, I took Kendra home and then went home which is where I am =P. Apparently Mom took the picture over to Keisha and Mike's to show them and Keisha just loved it and said she wanted her own haha.
~Congratulations Class of 2009!!!!!!!!~
Today I graduated =D. Had to go at 3 pm to the school so they could check us over and pick out the retards that don't know how to dress for the occasion. They said we had to be there at 3 pm and we were running late. I put hot rollers in and so we had to hurry and pull those out and spray my hair which wouldn't hold very well. I got a golden thing to wear that said honor on it and then I got purple cords for the National Technical Society for getting good grades in computer class I suppose. Once I did get there I realized that I forgot my medallion, I was pissed but there was nothing I could do because I didn't have a phone to call anyone. Waited around until it was time to start which was at 4 pm. We all filed out in our rows and went to stand in the hallway going down to the cafeteria. The closer I got to the doors we were going to enter I started getting more nervous. I got to the door and when it was my time to go I had to remember to walk slowly because all I could think was to hurry and get to my seat. I spotted my family trying to take my picture but then I had to go sit down. I kept looking past Alesha so they could possibly get some good pictures. I looked so corny with my cap on it wasn't even funny. After the speeches, choir singing, and band playing their song, it was time for us to go get our diploma. Once our row heard Jordan Petterman's name called then we were all suppose to stand up. We then waited until a dot was available to stand on and then keep moving up the side until we got to the front. Ugh I was so nervous. Finally I heard my name called and I walked up the stairs to Mr. Everheart and shook his hand. I felt kind of in a trance because I was just focused on shaking hands and getting to the end to accept my flower. Mom wanted a picture of me and so I stopped and smiled. She couldn't really get a picture so I had to move on because Alesha was behind me. Went and waited for all of our row to get back and sat down. We were announced as graduated and switched our tassels over to the right. Some people threw their hats but I didn't because I didn't want to lose it. After the farewell speech given by Darcy Watson we all stood up and proceeded to exit through the other door opposite the one we came in. Was set up this way so that if people's parents sat on the other side than when they came in that they could get pictures of them leaving and vice versa. As I was leaving Mom was trying to get my picture again but she didn't really know how to work my camera as well. I had to give up my golden thing in exchange for golden chords. She followed me out and took a picture of me alone by a wall and then we waited for the rest of the family. We couldn't find Dad and Ryan until about 20 mins later. Took some pictures with Lorraine, Kendra, Britt, Briana, Heather, and Stephanie. I tried to find Meredith but she wasn't anywhere to be found. Took some more pictures with family and then went home. I decided to go to the Senior All-Night party because I had heard that there were some really good Grand Prizes like Guitar Hero, digital camera, plasma screen TV, and more. We had a few hours before I needed to leave so Mom asked what I wanted to do about dinner. I didn't want to eat pizza like they suggested so we ended up driving up to Mt. Pleasant and to Bob Evans. Grandma embarrassed me because I just wondered if I got a free dessert because I graduated. So she asked the waitress and she said I did! I ended up getting some really good stir fry and a piece of Oreo ice cream pie. Went home and got ready to leave for all-night party. Dad was outside playing basketball with the kids which was kinda funny. Ryan ended up leaving with Dad to go to the casino after awhile. I left a little bit after then for the all-night party.

Last week on Monday the 10th it was a pretty cool day. For our Chemistry final exam we had to go over to the Elementary school and do a presentation to the little kids about the Scientific Method. Jessica is in Mrs. Kolb's classroom and that is the one Briana and I went to. The kids loved us, we brought flash paper over and bomb bags. Did a few of those first and then lit some elements on fire to see what color they burned. I used the overhead to put down how many kids thought what element was going to burn what color and so on. Took us about 35-40 minutes? Mrs. Arnold was kind of pressing us for time but Mrs. Kolb didn't mind =]. It was kind of nerve racking but Mrs. Kolb helped keep the kids under control and it was overall fun. I'm totally glad it is done and over with though!!
I know I've said this before but Amanda is coming for Thanksgiving and I'm excited. Twilight is coming out tomorrow night at midnight but I'm not going to see it then. Going to wait until Amanda comes here =D. The plans that Mom told me was that they're coming up Thanksgiving Day around 11 a.m. and that they were going to go home on Saturday. Suuuucks! But Manda convinced Aunt Debbie to let her drive up following her and stay until Sunday, yay!!!!! It's one more day but still! I can't wait =].
Last night I stumbled upon my old journal that I wrote before I started this blog and it was fun reading some of the things I wrote about. Maybe sometime I'll put an entry on here from it or something!~

So my Mom asked me if I would want to go down to Indiana with her to go see of some of her old co-workers and friends. Of course I want to go! But not only is that sweet we can go shopping and Jessica wont be coming with us. Call me a mean sister I don't care, Jessica and I just don't get along for long periods of time. Maybe once she gets over her 'I'm a little Princess and can do whatever I want' attitude then maybe we can bond better, until then no. But the whole reason behind going to Indiana besides to see friends and whatever is to go see one of Mom's co-workers, Anna dell. Anna dell worked with Mom for along time and apparently she is dieing of liver cancer. I feel so bad for her and Mom. Other than the sad moments it should be overall fun just taking a road trip with Mom, just us two alone.
School is going alright, Got information on cap and gowns today, what fun(boring). I made a pimp-butt brochure for Chemistry class for the PRMP project, I love it. Studio art has gotten boring because I have no inspiration like what so ever. Advanced IT is majorly boring, this whole week we did nothing. I mean it is completely lame she is making us do HTML. Honestly why do I care? I dont. I rather do Photoshop but nooooooo we did that in Intro IT(our class didn't), pisses me off.
In other news... I can finally eat hard foods now, yay!! I stopped using the rinse and stuff but lately my mouth has been hurting a little so I'm not sure if I should start rising again. I'm totally excited because The Twilight Movie is coming out on the 21st!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that I can go see it if they have a midnight viewing =].
