I Am One Year Old

Things have been pretty crazy for me lately. I got sick last week. That was no fun at all. I just sleep for like half the day.

Then I was able to move back into my residence hall early since I am working in the office. So that has been. I must say it is kind of nice to be here when only the RAs are here. I also find it really funny that a lot of people think that I am an RA when I am not. But that really doesn't matter.

So it seems that I missed my blog's anniversary. When I made this blog a little over a year ago, I sent my cousin the link over skype. I had just made it and had only one blog post. She told me that she thought it was cute and wished me luck. She told me how she had had a blog a while ago but only kept it up for a few weeks then got bored of it and forgot all about it. She thought that it would be the same for me

I love that I am able to prove her wrong knowing that it has been over a year and I am still using this thing. Maybe not as often as I would like but I am still using it so that is pretty awesome.

Love ya,
Christina

Anna and the French Kiss

At the very end of last year, I read Anna and the French Kiss. I must say that I really did enjoy and found it hard to put it down. Though it was much easier to put down than The Hunger Games. It has a great story and a great guy to lust after.

But I did have a few problems with it. One of my big problems is how are all these kids just calling home all of the time on their cell phones. It is really expensive to be calling America all the time when you are in France. I would think that they had French phones to be able to use there but there is no way they are calling home everyday.

Another thing that bugged me was the words. And by that I mean the spacing. I do not know if this was because I was reading it on my Kindle or not but I found a lot of the words were pushed together with no space in between them. I would think that this would have been really easy to catch and fix but I guess not.

The last thing that I have a problem was Thanksgiving break. I can understand how they have it off because they go to an American school and Americans are the ones who celebrate Thanksgiving. My problem is the fact that Ellie has it off while going to univeristy in Paris. She should not have had it off becuase the French do not celebrate it. It makes no sense at all for her to have had it off.

Man do I feel better now that I have gotten that off my chest. It really is a good book and those are my grivances against it. I could be the only person that this bothers.

Love ya,

Tough Woman

Today has been so long. I really mean it. And then if this was a tweet I would tag that white girl problems.

It really was not that bad. I went to work where I really did not do that much. I just got really upset when I spilt my soda in my clean car and then I learned that I am probably losing my scholarship.

Here is the thing with the scholarship. I need to have a 3.0 in order to keep it. Last year I did not do so good in school. At the end of the spring semester I had below a 2.5. So then I was put on academic probation. I really did work this semester on school. I ended up doing pretty good. My GPA for the semester was over a 3.0 but my the one that matter was not. I missed it by about .2 points. I think that I really did a good job on bring it up that high.

I think that if I have another semester like that I would be able to pull it up to the 3.0 that I need.

Well I have the option to appeal this and so that is my best opinion for right now.

Love ya,
Christina

Ever Musing and Concert

I love my mom. I really do. She is great but sometimes, and by sometimes, I mean a lot, she just frustrates me. She has only been home for a few hours and has been complaining non-stop. It just makes me wonder how she ever enjoys herself when all she does is complain.

Tonight, my sister had a concert and it was ok. I think that they may have been good except for the fact that I could not hear them at all. They were all so quiet and not really together either. But it was very nice to see my old choirmaster.

Love ya,
Christina

And It Begins

Hello new year. It is so great to see you.

I hope that everyone had an excellent night last night. I know that I did even though there was some shaky parts to my night.

I was really excited because my extended family usually will get together on NYE and have a party. I really wanted it to be at my house since we just moved and no one had seen our house. For awhile my dad was against this idea because he wanted the house to be ready. Finally, as we unpacked our last box earlier this week he agreed. Everything wasn't perfect and we had pictures leaning against the wall waiting to be hung up but we were going to have the party at our house.

It was very last minute, so we rush to clean the house and buy food and everything else we needed for it. We hung up the dart board outside and went off to church.

We were pretty surprised to see a lot of our family there because they had said they were going to come to our house later. After church, I noticed that my Grandma was still seating and everyone was starting to gather around her. It turns out that her heart rate has risen and it was beating like crazy. No one wanted to take any chances so my uncle and aunt to her to the ER.

The rest of us went back to my house. We tried to carry on like nothing was wrong but we were all really nervous. My poor mom had no idea what is going on because her and my sister are in Florida for the Capital One Bowl. My sister was selected to perform at the half time show. We did not want to call her until we knew any thing.

Several hours later we find out that they had run some tests and they could not find anything wrong. Her heart rate had gone down but not to where it should be so they kept her over night just to keep an eye on it.

My uncle than came to our house and we continued on like normal knowing that she was going to be ok.

We had a great time doing what we usually do. Play video games, card games, and board games. We watched Dick Clark's Rocking New Year until 11 our time when it then switched over to Houston's NYE celebration. At midnight we ran outside screaming like the mad people we are.

Pretty much, I love how awesome my family is.

And if you are wondering, my Grandma is fine and they let her go home this afternoon.

Love ya,
Christina
