Ah, yesterday and last night was a ton of fun. I was so happy to hang out with the girls and just have a crazy over all good time.
Jaclyn, Becca and I all rode out to Frankenmuth together. Steph met us there. We had lunch/dinner at the Bavarian Inn. It was super good. I don't think I've ever really eaten there... cept maybe once on a field tip in elementary school or something. I had a burger which was apparently against the law according to Becca ... haha
We then went and checked into our hotel room. :) It was super cute.
After that we went do to the hot tub and hung out. it was super warm and nice. Mostly we just talked shit about people and talked about guys and what not. it was a fun time.
We went back and laid around for a while. We got a pizza. It was super good. Steph wasn't staying the night. By this point it was like 10 pm and I was already starting to feel tired, I mean i'd been up 24 hours. haha.
Steph had to go and then Becca, Jac and I went and watched this SUPER hot guy sing at some karaoke thing.. he was cute. Then we got back in the hot tub and stayed there till the pool area closed at around 2 am.
Back in the room we watched Titantic until we all feel asleep. I didn't sleep well because I was freezing. but I managed.
got up pretty early this morning and just laid around in bed and laughed. it was fun.
we had to check out by 11 am. So we did that and then went home.
Now I'm home. Ryann just got here for her spring break. I think tonight Tony and I are going to go back to Ann Arbor so we can have a normal Sunday/Sunday night. I miss sleeping with him so close to me. i have a hard time getting to sleep if Tony's not there sleeping next to me. I love him :)
well I will write tomorrow.
Last night was a ton of fun. It was a lot like old times. I really miss hanging out with Eric and Becca. I mean in high school the four of us were pretty much inseparable. Then we graduated, Eric and Becca broke up adn we all just didn't hang out much. And now we were all back together. It was super fun.
Game Works was so so. I dunno if we'd ever go back. But we had fun. Becca and I played this crazy safari game. It was fun. LOL. After we were gonna get some woodcucks, but the meijer that we went to didn't have any so we just gave up. And then it was pretty late so we went home.
Now I am waiting for Jaclyn to come get me so that we can go to Frankenmuth. I am way excited to hang out with Becca, Jac and Steph!!
I will comment tomorrow about the trip. :)

Nice day today. Got up late. Hung out, and then hung out with Tony. He came over and laid around with me. I love that we had a ton of down time to be together. My parents were at work, Al was at school and Ryann is in college, so the hosue was ours.
After a long morning of cuddling and such we finally got up and figured out some plans for the night. Later on we are going to game works with Eric and Becca. It should be fun, we haven't hung out with them in a while. Can't wait.
So yeah that's all that's happened so far. I really should go get ready for tonight. And tomorrow I am going to Frankenmuth with the girls(minus Mal, she's in REAL Europe, ha). That should be a lot of fun.
Well I am gonna go get in the shower and get ready for tonight. Later.
I got up early this morning and went into work with my mom. Mostly just sat around and filed papers for her. It was sorta fun. I mean I don't mind filing. Its almost calming for me. So I did that for the better part of the day.
When we came home I pretty much just hung out. It was a pretty chill day. I remember last spring break I was freaking out because I had my Monopoly code due for EECS 280 and I had like nothing done and it just wasn't working. I did finish it up. It was so releving to get it done, but I had to waste my entire spring break working on it. :(
I suppose this break I could be working on something, studying something, but honestly I just want a break from school and I just don't even want to think about doing school work.
I am gonna get to sleep because tomorrow Tony has the day off and we're gonna figure out some stuff to do. And then Friday I'm going to Frankenmuth with the girls! SOO excited for that.
Another day of break. Tony had the day off today. He came over when he got out a work and we laid around. I love him and love so much just being in his arms. He's so sweet and I love him more than I could ever begin to explain.
We were talking about us when we were younger. We talked about when he first said that he loved me. He was so nervous. He was so sweet that night. I can remember being so happy and I couldn't hardly breathe when he said that. I cried a little because I was just so overwhelmed with emotion. He's wonderful.
Nothing super exciting today. Just hanging out and stuff.
Tony went home and took a nap, or a coma. haha I love how he sleeps. Its so intense. I wish I could sleep that way. Honestly i am the lightest sleeper ever and I hate it because I wake up about everything. When we're sleeping at night, even the slightest movement wakes me up. And since he sorta snores, that wakes me up. IT SUCKS.
Well I don't have much else to write about.
I will write later on.
Well I was gonna go into work with my mom, but I decided to sleep in. I was pretty worn out for the previous week so I am definitely catching up on all the sleep I've been missing out on these last few nights and such.
Spend the day in bed/in the living room on the computer.
I'm excited for Friday. I am going to Frankenmuth with Becca, Jac, and Steph. It should be fun. We're just gonna hang out, chill in the hot tub at the hotel and have a nice evening. I'm glad that we actually planned something a head of time because now we can actually do it. :)
Well I'm pretty bored so I'm gonna go find something else to do.
Nice day. Spent the day with Tony. We just hung out and did nothing. Spend the morning laughing and then went shopping. It was pretty boring, but a boring that I like.
This evening I went out with Tony's family for dinner. We went to this pizza place in flint. It was really good. After I went over his house and hung out for a while. Pretty fun. Nice night.
Tony brought me home and then he went home because he has to work tomorrow. I miss him already.
Not sure what I'm gonna do tomorrow. Maybe nothing. haha
later.
Good day.
Spent most of the day hanging out with Jaclyn cause she wanted me to help her buy a new computer. So we mostly shopped around at Best Buy(circuit city went out of business :( ) So that was fun. She got a pretty sweet new computer too. I wanted one... haha.. I am pretty sure I have a problem.
In the evening Tony came over and we just hung out. Went to get some dinner and that was about it. it was a nice relaxing evening.
Tomorrow Tony and I are gonna go shopping and just spend the day to ourselves. Should be nice. I miss sleeping with him next to me when I'm home tho. It sucks to be alone.

FINALLY ! SPRING BREAK!!
I was so happy to get done with my tour today! That was my final commitment before a week of freedom! So exciting.
My IOE project was due today so I sorta had to work on that for a while, but it was no big deal and I think we did pretty well on it so ssweeet.
At like 8:30 my dad came and got me. Got home by like 9:45ish and was sorta tired but stayed up pretty late just hanging out and watching TV and such. I was excited to see Bails and stuff. She's cute. And Tee was excited to see me too. She's sorta gotten over being "mad" at me when I come home. I think either she's just gotten too old to hold those grudges, or she has accepted the fact that I go away for a while but I do eventually come back.
So I'm excited to be in Swartz Creek for a while! :)
Well today was another long tiring day. I am sure ready for spring break!! Honestly. It feels like tomorrow will never be here. SICK
So today started off SUPER early. Had my IOE201 exam at 8:30 this morning. The exam was pretty decent. I think I did alright. After that exam I pretty much had to run home, take a shower, and then get ready because I had an interview at 1:45 with Novellus.
It went alright. I don't really know how to feel about it. They asked me some questions about like solving circuits and stuff and I feel either I did then correct or I made an ass of myself. Either way I'm glad that's behind me. UGELJ
I met up with James at the library and we went over some last minute studying before the exam that was at seven. Pretty boring. Mostly just sat there and made jokes. lame.
At seven it was exam time. I think I did well. I finished it fairly quickly so I had a bunch of time to go over my answers and make sure all of my math was right. I feel really good about the exam too. So hopefully I get a good grade.
Well I am gonna go sleep my ass off cause I'm EXHAUSTED!!! blah.
later.
Today was a quite lengthy day. First off I had class at nine and didn't want to be there at all. I hate my 270 class cause the professor is just annoying.
After that class I had 320 lecture which was just a question answer session. Didn't really learn much. I feel I have that class pretty much down... so I am pretty sure that I'll do fine on the exam tomorrow.
After that I went to the geecs luncheon. Lame. Ate some food. Then I went and worked with James on 270 homework. We finished that up. Hung out for a while. Was bored. Then went to discussion at 3:30. That was sort of a waste of my day too cause it was just pretty much another question answer session for the exam thrusday night. And since I already feel pretty okay about that, it really wasn't that insiteful.
Went to the library after discussion to study for my IOE final that is tomorrow morning. I think I honestly have to get like a 20 percent to get a B in that class. So I KNOW I'm not going to get a 20 percent so I don't feel too bad about it, but I still feel the need to study and get some practice problems in. hgaglfsalfdj
Now I'm home and pretty bored. I don't really know what else to write about...... I think i might just go to bed since I have another long day a head of me tomorrow.
Later.
I like Tuesday's. Mostly because I have 270 lab and its fun. Plus it takes up a good portion of my day so I'm not staring mindlessly at my textbooks and endless homework assignments.
We have this project due in IOE on Saturday. We thought we had the whole thing done and then James and I realized that a really good majority of it was WRONG! I was pissed so we've been spending a lot of time fixing things up. Sorta sucks.
I studied a TON today for 320 and I feel pretty confident about it. I really think i'll do "alright" on the exam. Probably not awesome or anything but I should do okay. I feel like I've studied all the material inside and out and can't really think of anything else that needs to be studied for... sucks because I feel bad when I'm not studying, but the second I start studying it sorta feels like I've been doing it for too long... ya know.
Well I think I'm gonna go get some rest. I'm tired.
Night.
unfortenutely Tony had to leave this morning. I honestly HATE Monday mornings. I don't like to see him leave and I always miss him SO much. I think Monday's and Thursdays are my least favorite days of the week.
Today for the most part was pretty boring. Its my last Monday before break tho! :) Sweet for that. I'm so ready for Spring Break I can't even start to tell you. Really!
I had a tour today. Pretty boring. Went back to the apartment after that and just sorta hung out for the night. Didn't really do any work or really get things done. I really should have done more to prepare for my EECS 320 exam that I have on Thursday night. :( I hope I'll do well on it... Hope.
Also on Thursday morning I have my IOE 201 exam. I think that I'll do alright on that. Hopefully pull off an A in that class.!! .:fingers crossed:.
Ug, I have nothing else to write about and I'm getting way sleepy so I think that I am going to get some sleep.
NIGHT
We woke up this morning and all I could do was smile when I looked at him. He's so sweet and cute. I forget everything that annoys me in the world when I am with him. :)
We eventually got out of bed and went and had a sweet breakfast at Big Boy. It was super good.
We had to be out of the room at noon. So we went back to my apartment and didn't really do anything once we had gotten back.
Went shopping. Laid around.
pretty typical sunday. BUT I LOVE IT.
I should go get some studying done. Tomorrow I have a lot to get done. Also this is the last week before spring break. I cannot wait for spring break. I am not going to do anything. Just SLEEP.
I have a project due for IOE 201 this week, but it shouldn't be that big of deal. I think I'm going to get an A in that class. For sure.
I will write later.
-JRA
Today was Valentines Day. I was super excited to see Tony this morning when he came down. I love him so much. I get so lonely during the week when he isn't around. I just feel like I never see him anymore and the weekends go so quickly. I can't wait to be with him more often. So we can cuddle and laugh and go shopping and just share life together. No matter what just share life, and whatever comes out of it.
We went shopping this morning. Got some stuff for tonight and at 3 we were able to check into our hotel room. We really didn't do anything except lay around and laugh with each other. It was a lot of fun. We watched movies and stuff.
Now we are just getting comfy and having some drinks and just having a good night. I love spending time with him. He is honestly my other half and I couldn't function without knowing that he is here for me. Really I don't think that I could.
Tomorrow we plan on doing nothing as well. Go back to the apartment and hang out for the day I guess.
I hate how fast the weekend goes. Seems like the week takes like 2049584 million hours to get through and the weekend goes by in the blink of an eye. It sucks.
I wish I had a time machine so that I could make the weekend's last forever.
Good bye.
Friday the 13th. Nothing bad happened. In fact today was a great day. I accomplished SO much :)
First off I slept very well and even got up early this morning. I was proud of myself. Usually I waste a good portion of the morning because I am sleeping in too much, and then the rest of the day just sucks and I'm sleepy.
Tour went well. No questions so it was pretty boring, but it went by fast and then I headed off to the library. Found an awesome spot by the window on the second floor and was ready to do work straight till i felt like leaving.
Well I'm still here. I've been working very productively since 5 pm and I've gotten pretty much everything done!! No homework to worry about over the weekend.
I feel very confident about my classes as of now. EECS 270 isn't horrible. EECS 320 is very interesting and I actually enjoy it right now. And IOE well ... that's a cake walk. haha.
I should get back to work. I might leave soon because I'm getting sleepy and I can definetly hear my bed calling my name.
Thursday's are boring. I only have one class and then always feel like I waste the rest of the day either sleeping, watching TV, cleaning or just doing NOTHING. So today I though I would get a lot of work done by going to the library after class. I ended up just sitting there staring at a computer screen for hours on end wondering where my life is going.
I don't know what I am doing these days. I mean yes I love EECS, and yes I hate EECS. Yes I want to be an electrical engineer. And No I don't have any idea what they do(well more so no than last year). I guess I just need something to push me toward EECS more. I'm in a rut. I have no motivation.
I'm getting an A in IOEasy right now. I would be PISSED if i was getting anything less though. SO thank goodness for that.
This weekend will be nice. Tony and I are getting away from the boringness/annoyingness that is my apartment. We're going to a hotel for the night and just spending time together. I'm excited. :)
Ug, I have to make it through one more day and then its finally going to be the weekend.
Seems like it took a very long time to get here this week.
:(
Ug, today was honestly the longest day on the face of the earth. First off Wednesdays are my busiest days class wise. I have classes from 9 to 12 and then again at 3:30 to 4:30. So that's a pretty full day in and of itself.
I met with Mal today to finish working on the IOE homework together. It was pretty lame and boring. It's not very hard, just very hard to focus on when I have no desire to do any of it. So I did that for a while. Not bad. After spending a few hours doing that I left and went to discussion for EECS320.
I really think that EECS 320 is my one and only class that I really enjoy and feel confident about. Honestly. The rest of my classes are jokes and stuff that really bores me. So it sucks.
After discussion I went and studied in the duderstadt with James and Kevin. It was a reunion. We had dinner at Quizno's and then finally went and took the freaking exam.
It wasn't hard and it was only 1.5 hours long. So I don't think I did horrible on it or anything.
Now I'm back at my apartment being annoyed by the unending questions. I have a bunch of homework to get done but I just can't bring myself to actually DO the work. I need to get it done... i really do.
I guess I am going to get some sleep. I'm tired.
NIGHT
I had to do lab for 270 like the ENTIRE day today because I wasn't sure what I was doing. And then after lab I went back to the apartment and started working on my IOE 201 homework.
I hate my IOE class right now. First off its not even for my major. Second I am so UNinterested in the material it makes it hard to focus. And third I'm doing like AMAZING in the class so I always feel like NOT doing it. I know I only have to last like 2 more weeks and then the class is over, but its so hard!! :(
I miss Tony right now. I hate Tuesdays and Thursdays because I only have one class and then a TON of down time. I know i could be using that time very wisely, but its really hard to do that. All I want to do is sleep, see tony, and hang out. I can't stand school right now. it just sucks.
Well I am going to go FORCE myself to better understand digital logic.
Later
Today was my first Campus day Tour. I was a little nervous for it. So I was a little aprehensive. It turned out well tho. Everyone in my group seemed to enjoy the tour and I was happy to be done however. They cut out a half hour of the tours this year so it was really hard going a tour that I'm used to doing in 1.5 hours in one... sucks. I suppose I'll get used to it.
Tonight was the pizza house dinner for geecs. It turned out really nice. I had reserved the place for 20 people, and we ended up having 16. So it was a really good turn out. Better than I thought it was going to be. We hopefully found a few more girls to join the group that were freshman. So I'm hoping they actually join. :)
After dinner I went home and got started on studying for EECS 270, and now i'm here so obviously the studying is going subpar. I just don't know how to study for this class. It sucks and all I can think to do is do problems. But see here's my deal when i do problems on my own, I always do like millions of problems that i KNOW how to do because its fun for me to do them and get them done really fast and stuff, and then when it comes to problems that are hard, i get all pissed and end up doing something like making blog entries.
UGELGJSLJF
I just need to push myself to do well. I really wanna do well in ALL of my classes and this one is no exception.
Back to studying.
I really need to start to hard core study for my EECS 270 exam that is coming up on Wednesday. I feel like I'm doing alright in that class, I'm just a little nervous that they are going to throw something at me on that exam that will like totally be something I looked over or just didn't study in general. I NEED to study.
Today, however, was Sunday and I don't study on Sunday's. Tony and I got up late and got some breakfast here. Pretty lame day. We did our normal Sunday routine of just hanging out for a good long while. Taking showers, and then heading out for a day of shopping. I really had to get some food from Meijer so we just shopped there and then came back to the apartment and made dinner.
I can't wait to "live together" next year. It'll be so sweet to be able to make dinner together and just have a nice time together with out the annoyance of other people coming and leaving my living quarters. haha..
We are getting tired so I guess we're gonna put in a movie and hit the bed.
Good night.
Tony and I came back to Ann Arbor today. I was happy to get back and have two nights with him. I sort of don't like going home because I don't get two ENTIRE day's with Tony. When I am home for the weekend I see Tony during the day only and not for very long. It sucks and I always go back to Ann Arbor feeling like I haven't seen him at all, and then I have to wait another long five days to see his sweet face. I'm going to miss him a lot this week.
We didn't get back to my apt until after five today and so we just decided to hang out for a while. It was nice to just relax with him. I love doing that. Just laying in my bed and laughing for hours. Its so wonderful. He's so wonderful! :) I cannot wait to marry that boy! :)
So I suppose we will go do something for dinner some time tonight, or we might just order in a pizza or something, we haven't figured that out yet, but I'm sure we will soon.... hopefully :)
I will write tomorrow. Later.
Thank God for Friday! :)
Shamrocks was sorta lame last night. It was good to see everyone and what not but the bar scene was pretty lame. I do not think that I'll ever be going back because I WAS BORED OUT OF MY MIND. I had fun seeing jac and stuff and Tony and I hung out for a while which was fun. I love seeing him earlier than just the weekend.
Tony had to work today. I slept in pretty late. Woke up and had to get ready and go to the movies with Jaclyn and Becca. We went to see the "He's Just Not That Into You". It was a good movie and we had a good time going to see it together. At the end this lady was going to leave and instead of just walking in front of us and going down the stairs like a normal person, she thought that it'd be a good idea to try to scoot in between the chairs and get to the stairs. She ended up falling in front of us and it was SUPER hard to NOT laugh and of course Becca just busts out laughing. The woman like ran away down the stairs and out of the theater. AHAH
Now I'm just hanging out. I think that Tony and I are going to go back relatively early tomorrow. I am excited cause I love having our weekends together. Its great.
Well I am going to get going cause I'm sleepy and need to go shopping with my mom.
Later
The Career Fair was today. I don't even see the point in going to the career fair and talking to the recruiters. They don't remember the 10394 people that they talked to and plus they just tell you to apply on such and such a web site and its just a bunch of crap. So i just applied to like 12039 things on hire me and didn't even attend the career fair.
I got my exam back in IOE 201. The average was a 65 with a standard deviation of 17. So the spread was pretty big. Well I guess I did alright, I got a 92. HAHAHAHAh That class is the biggest joke in the entire world. I have never taken an engineering class that was so easy. I don't even consider IOE real engineering. I can definitely see why they call it In and Out Easy Engineering. haha JOKE. So that made my day.
At noon I had to go meet with a new girl that's a tour leader to talk about her tour that she's going to give tomorrow for the first time. I remember last year I had to do the same thing with Jim. I was like fricken nervous because I was scared to death that I was going to just screw up the entire thing, but it turned out nice and I was hanging out with him for like an hour in the EECS building just talking about life and getting into Michigan and just why we came and stuff. I think he's got a crush on me because now whenever I see him on campus he always like makes a joke or just does something that gives me the feeling that he has the hots for this! haha
After that Tony and I got ready and we drove back to Swartz Creek. Hung out for a while. Went to the store with my mom. Laid around and then finally got back home and now I'm waiting for Tony so we can go out to Shamrocks and meet up with Jac and Jennifer. Should be an alright night.
I'll write later.
Back to Wednesday. This week is going by rather quickly. I am so excited for today to be over so that tomorrow can be over so that I can see Tony and go hang out at Shamrocks with old friends. It should be a good time.
I didn't really do much today. Didn't feel like it. It was a long day tho. I pretty much just went to class and then came back to the apartment and messed around on the computer, did some reading, and then I came here to type up what I've done here today.
NOTHING
I hope that this party at Shamrock's is a little stimulating. Hope it doesn't suck. I hope that I have fun and whatever. I hate it because Tony's under 21 so we can't like get drinks together. So I always feel lame and end up not getting anything. I am so lame.
I don't have much else to write about.
Next week should hopefully go by quickly. Monday is the Pizza House dinner. and then I have an exam in EECS 270 and a lab all due next week as well. Then Saturday is Valentines Day and Tony and I planned on going to this Gun Show and then getting a hotel room and hanging out. It should be a lot of fun. I'm excited.
Well I am going to go watch some TV and then get some sleep so that I can actually get up to attend school tomorrow.
Later
I had to get up this morning and walk over to this apartment in Northwood to sign for my lease next semester. It was weird, we had to go to a apartment in the building behind us. It was a regular 2 bedroom one but they had "changed" it into an office. The only change they really did was paint the living room a ugly burgundy color. It made the place look really small. And it smelt like the place had been closed up for 3 years and was JUST opened like 3 seconds before I walked in. It was pretty sick.
I signed for a 12 month one bedroom for next year. I have to sign for it in a few days for real. Its gonna be nice. Having my own place. haha. :) And well it'll be mine and Tony's place tho. It'll be sweet. We will be able to do whatever we want to the place and it will be ours. We will have the best time together. I love it and cannot wait for it. The only suck thing is that the two housing contracts don't over lap. So I'll have like 2 days where I don't have a place for all of my stuff. I don't know what to do?! I guess I can try to apply for extended stay or something, but I have no idea how to even do that. I suppose that we will see when the time comes. Play it by ear... or as tony thinks.. play it by ear! haha. Cracks me up.
Well I have a bunch of shit to get done. I need to head over to the lab today and get some of my stupid robot lab done. Its confusing and I need to just get it done.
I will write tomorrow. LATER
Back to class again this morning. I don't like having a nine am class anymore. It sucks. I thought that I liked it because I wasn't ever tired when I woke up in the morning, but now all of a sudden I'm like exhausted and do NOT want to go to class. And the fact that Tony has to leave on Monday mornings doesn't make the beginning of the week any better. I hate watching him walk down the stairs in the morning knowing that I won't be able to cuddle with him later. Knowing that I won't be able to fall asleep in his arms. Knowing that I won't see him again for another 5 days. Monday's totally suck.
So class, I'm doing alright in my classes so far. I like them anyway. I had a test last Thursday in IOE and I have a midterm in 270 next week. SUCK ASS. I don't LOVE getting prepared for tests so much. I always feel like I'm missing something and not doing what I 'should' be doing. I don't know it sucks a lot. At least taking midterms and tests mean that the semester IS progressing and it WILL be done soon. ha ha
After I was finished with class today I had tour training. I was my last training of the semester. This Friday I am going to be home because I am going home for Kayla's 21st bday party at Shamrocks. It seems like it'll be a good time. Better than just hanging out in Ann Arbor alone for the night. So Tony is coming down Thursday afternoon to get me.
Last weekend I was home for Saturday night for the superbowl party and this weekend I'm going to be home for her bday party and then one weekend down with Tony and then back to good old Swartz Creek for spring break. I can't wait for it to rush by!
I should go get some homework done and get some studying done before the night turns in to tomorrow and I'm too exhausted to get up and go sign for my apartment tomorrow.
Later

Start to another month. Feels good to start again. All over. And its February. The shortest month there is. It'll go back super fast. And plus the last week of this month is spring break... they really shouldn't call it spring because its still very much winter at the end of February. haha. So I have a late winter break at the end of this month. ha
Woke up super late this morning and didn't even feel like getting out of bed. I love Sunday morning's with Tony. we just lay around and cuddle for along time until we finally drag out selves out of bed and get in the shower. Then we finally get dressed and go out and face the day. Today, however, it was TOO cold to leave. Honestly it was -34 F out side when we woke up this morning. My apartment was STILL mega hot so we did have to have the windows open. I don't understand how they keep the place SO hot and still afford to allow it to be that hot. Seems like they'd cut back a little bit. I totally wouldn't mind if they made it a few degree's cooler. They'd be saving energy and wouldn't be making my apartment a steam box. haha.
So we didn't go anywhere today. We just hung out and cuddled. We made pina coladas last night and they were THE most amazing drinks ever! I loved them. So we made them again with dinner tonight. We had sausage and peogies for dinner. it was very good.
Now we are just planning on laying around together and watching TV. nothing too exciting, but I LOVE IT!
