Well I feel like I am leaving for winter break in two breaks...NOT summer. So annoying- this damn snow. Good old Colorado, just when you think you can predict the weather, it snows in May. I am not too happy to say the least, but complaining doesn't make it melt any faster.
Good news though, it's Friday. And all I have for the rest of today is dryland, and a nice shower after that, which I am pretty excited about. Then who knows what will happen, I guess we'll just go with where the night takes us. Even though I have a shitload to do this weekend, I will just put it in the back of my head until tomorrow, when I will think about it a little and then probably end up actually starting it Sunday night. Procrastionators usually have good intentions, at least the kinds like me. They just become easliy distracted.
I decided that I want to try to catch up on my movie watching this summer. I haven't seen a movie in so long. So along with swimming, lifting, running, working, teaching lessons, taking a class... I will watch movies. Any spare moment I have. That way I will be able to watch about... two movies the entire summer. Humm I better choose wisely.
Well t-minus 3 days until I have to start taking down all the pictures on my closet. So sad, it's going to look barren (tumbleweed rolls by along with old western music). It's crazy how fast this year went by, I was just thinking back to the first day of school when I moved all my stuff in. Lauren and I didn't know how the hell we were going to fit it in this tiny room. But somehow we did, and it doesn't look half bad. It has definately become really comfortable and homey, I'm gonna miss our good old room, we've had some good times together... and some not so good times. Too bad the floor looks like carpet, but it's pretty hard if you drop anything glass on it. I got this e-mail the other day about leaving here and all the mixed feelings that come about with leaving, and it really made me think. It was pretty sad, but at the same time I am really ready for summer and excited for our own house next year.
Well I will touch more on that, but it's time to get ready for dryland, two more days of it!! Yay for Friday!

Update
Just a quick update for my loyal readers:
The roommate I wished to be evicted to a deserted island hurt her ankle today at dryland. Even though I didn't really wish something like that on anyone, I have one word: KARMA. Our coach walked in smiling and said "That's what happens to freshman who aren't eligible their first semester" and continued to walk right by her as she whined to the trainer. It was a comical moment, I can't lie. I know, I'm a bitch.
Also, I forgot to mention about the banquet. I didn't even recieve a nice try award, just a "Jessica, she did a nice job for us this year" Whoot. What an honor. And thanks to them my week started out grumpy because it was freaking FOUR HOURS long. I mean what do you even talk about for four hours? Beats me, I have no idea what they talked about. All I know is that Katie and I ate six cups of chocolate mousse. And it was damn good. Maybe it was worth it just for that.
Another update: it is snowing. SNOWING at the end of April. That does not make me a happy camper. I mean the flakes are huge and--wait... NEW UPDATE! It has currently stopped. Sorry for the misinformation. And complaining. Well time to study more and write yet another paper. O why did I choose the doomful major of English?! WHY?
And here is a direct quote from my good friend Katie whom I have the great honor of living with next year: "Shit happens and then you die" So on that optimistic note, I will be leaving. Farewell.

In fast forward
Well well, where do I begin... First off today is a good day, only one class. Makes things go by faster. I'm not so sure if that is good though considering I have to write a speech and a paper and study for a test...along with everything else. System overload for sure. I will try not to think about it.
Well I guess I will start with where I left off...which was last week sometime I beleive. The weekend was good, I had a lot of fun. Friday night we partied and Saturday morning was a little sad because my great buddy and lord of the forks had a roommate issue. Which is why I have decided her roommate is going to be quarentined on to a deserted island, and will have a monthy plane fly by and drop of spam and V8 juice. Along with scratchy blankets and a wooden toothbrush. And NO sunscreen. HA! That will show her. That sounds completely awful to me. And on her birthday she will get a gift card to Hobby Lobby, which would be just as awful. But the worst part she can't even spend it because she will be banished on a lone island.
On a lighter note we had two dance parties on Saturday, one for the duration of about three hours and one later for about two. That is FIVE hours of dancing in one day. So sweet. There was also a tour going on. So picture this, you are on a tour of the dorms possibly looking to come here next year, and you walk by a room that is blaring spice girls (or maybe it was Hanson at the time) and you see one girl with braids in a cowboy hat, one with her hair in a little bun on the side of her head, one with a bright orange trucker hat that says "L-Train", one holding a fake piece of bread and a side pony tail, and one with a tennis racquet and a side pony tail as well. O, and they are all screaming to the music. What would you think? I would be very excited to come here next year no doubt about it. Aside from this school's highly valued academic value, it is festive and entertaining. And everyone likes to join the festivities, no doubt about that.
The week started off with a slow, grumpy start on my part. The first three words to start the week off on a dark Monday morning, were "no", "i don't wanna" and "god damnit". I knew it was going to be a promising week. But once I acutally got my ass to practice that day, I came to find out we were just doing drills. Even though they were the most hated and dispised stroke in swimming... breastroke, to my surprise I ended up demonstrating. I will explain why. There is word going around (official word) that the breastroke is going to have some modifications made to it because of the controversy at the Olympics just this past summer. The modification would be to add one big dolphin kick during the underwater pull. So while we were practicing my coach noticed that I did it right and had me show the rest of the team. Little did he know that I have been doing it like that for years (maybe part of why I got DQed in Hawaii) and I would not move anywhere with out the butterfly kick. So who ever said cheating didn't pay off? Because I came to realize my years of it finally did.
Speaking of practice, today the workout was way too hard. Warm up and then... BREAKFAST! I could barely handle it.
Red letter week you might say? O wait there's more. No speech class today, no creative writing tomorrow (and I might just give myself the day off in psych as well), no practice on Friday. That is red letter if I ever heard it. BUT I have so much homework, I could fill all of my time with it. So it sorta cancels out. O well, I still think that's pretty sweet.
I have currently changed my mind about naps. Before I thought they were a waste of time, for the weak and unworthy. But now I think they are a very effective way to spend one's time as they regain their energy and strength. In fact my bed is looking pretty inviting right now...
So on that note I will be going, to where the wind blows me. But I would like to add a few more things...perhaps a count down is in order:
Laundry days left: 0
Dryland days left: 3
Swimming days left: 6ish
School days left: 10
Days left in FoCo: 13
Sounds pretty damn good to me. It's all kinda bitter sweet, mostly sweet, but days left here in Fort Collins makes me sad. I'm going to miss people a lot, luckily most of the people I will truly miss I will be seeing this summer and/or living with next year! K time to lay down before snagel bagel kills me. G'bye.

Zombie walking
This is extremely entertaining. Check it out, http://glumbert.com/media/dancewhiteboy.html
Ahh, you gotta love watching people dance. Nothing better than a dance party either, keeps you young and alive. Lauren and I try to have one just about everyday. We're getting behind lately, we better pick it up.
Well today was a dumb day if you ask me. And no matter how cool people think 4/20 is, it's definately not. Not at all. It was dreary all day and I think it was fitting. For all the things this day stands for (Columbine, Hitler's birth, pot smoking...), very appropriate that this weather was rainy.
Dryland was semi painful today, nothing too bad, ten laps around the inside of Moby arena and then these weird looking lunge exercises that started to burn. But not as hard as it has been in the past.
Two more days of this week, thank the lord. I have had my fair share of school and mainly teachers. Then two weeks and finals and we're FREE! And we will not be freshman anymore. Sweet ass.
I wish I knew what I did with my time, honestly. I mean besides this. And AIM. I guess that's what I do with my time right there. And dance parties and talking to my roomie. I guess I just figured it out, but time flies when you're doing nothing. As that one quote goes "There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want" or something along those lines.
Practice this morning was not very fun. And I was somewhat disappointed in myself now that I think about it because I need to get a better mental attitude about my abilities or something. For some reason I am deathly afraid of running out of energy, so I tend to save a little too much. No good, I need to change that and I am constantly battling it everyday.
My random thoughts are bouncing me all around to just about everything. I confuse myself. I was just thinking about what I am going to do this summer about swimming...humm. I really hope Jim comes back for good. That's the word on the street.
AH man I had to take a break to dance to "Outta control" 50 CENT. I really like that one. But there are only like four good songs on his newer cd. And the picts inside the cover are ridiclous. They are pretty funny, he looks like he's about to kill someone. Ha, I'm sure. No thanks for that cd. P.S. Not mine, burrowed, just incase that wasn't already said.
Well last night I got to talk to a dear friend of mine who lives in that city on the edge of the land...in Illinois otherwise known as Massachusetts. Good old Boston. Can't wait till summer so I can see him and everyone else.
Ok, I am beginning to ramble. So I am going to go, but I would just like to say that the word milk, when pronounced "correctly" is perverted. You are all sick pervs. Especially the girls I am living with next year, sickos :). K well it's about time for din din. Then maybe I will do some work, that will be a good idea... Ah, yes homework, how I love it.

Well today was another day of terrible school. I keep telling myself I can do it, but sadly I don't feel like I am going to make it. I need to start reading and studying, maybe that would help to keep me from failing out. Well I never really talked about this weekend, but it was a normal college weekend filled with parties, eating dorm food (and pancakes at tri-delt one day, mmm), sleeping in, beer, peeing on elementary schools, you know the normal stuff. It was nice, and the weather was beautiful! So needless to say I spent most of my time outside. I have no doubt that next weekend will be along the same lines as that. Except I have to do a lot more homework. Because I am a slacker, and I need to get outta here with half way decent grades.
I don't really want to talk about the day, because then I will just get mad. Actually a lot of things I start talking about just end up in a gaint string of cuss words right now. So I don't really know what to say. I would like to say that I can't wait for our house next year...but I can a little. Dinner was really good last night, got in some hit songs that I made up and some good laughs with the girls. It's been a while since we've all been together for a good chuckle. Also I like goldfish. Always have, always will. Plain and simple.
O! I know, the OAR concert was so much fun. I found my friends once I got there (I came with a girl from the team and her friend, which was good but I wanted to see everyone else) and I pretty much stayed with them the whole time. The only semi annoying thing was the DU kids that were really drunk, but besides that it was good. I even got to see my brother which was nice. And I crowd surfed and almost fell on my head, after losing my flip flop and then I got in trouble. Oops. It was worth it, but man was my foot sickity nasty ill. It was pretty black, needless to say.
Other news in the exciting life of Jessica....
Swim team banquet on Sunday, mark your calendars because I will be winning the "nice try, but you don't get anything" award. Should be pretty exciting. Oh, how I do love that team.
And of course tonight I get to go to another riviting lecture about the benefits of growing potaotes in specific climates or some shit like that. Extra credit. Two words that can make you shudder and smile at the same time. It's always nice, but it's usually a pain in the ass. Hey at least they have free food at those things. Even if it is weird looking and tastes like toothpaste and peppers.
I am going to leave with this one quote: "Laugh and win" From my ghetto t-shirt. I hope I can learn to live by this, it's nice and simple. No complications or deeper meanings. I hope we all learn to live by it.
haha laugh and win. haha
