I don't know about you guys, but this made me smile! Immature, maybe. But this is coming from the girl who just bought an "I support healthy breasts" t-shirt that I will be wearing tomorrow, along with a pink ribbon. Oh college campuses.

Not so good at keeping this updated anymore am I? That's because not much happens here... lol... Sleep, class, homework, eat, sleep, class, homework... and the cycle goes on. Maybe a little fun thrown in there on the weekends. Not too much fun though... lol.
Hmm.. what else? I have my advising appointment tomorrow, and I am a little nervous. But hopefully it all goes well and then I can go change my major, and officially be a Pre-Psychology major. Makes me sound smart? lol.

Saturday, September 29, 2007

So really. Who knew it would be so hard to change your major?

I've decided that I want to be a Psychology major with a Child/Youth care emphasis. So, I'm told my adviser to go to the College of Liberal Studies office, and all I have to do is fill out a form and then my major is changed. Well, no, it wouldn't be that simple now, would it? I had to go to the Psychology office... and then they gave me a sheet: "So..... you want to become a PSYCHOLOGY major... now what?" So I take the sheet, and I have to take these on-line Psychology tutorials? Basically telling me about the major... why I want to do it... what kind of jobs I can get and so on and so forth. Then I have to make an appointment with the Advising Coordinator. She will then decide if I can be a Pre-Psychology major. That's right, I won't even get to be a Psychology major yet. Until I take Stats and Psych 100 and get a C. Now I am TOTALLY kicking myself for wasting time in stupid Pre-Calc and Psych 212. So, if all goes smoothly... I should be a Psychology major when I'm a junior... and they do say it takes about 4 semesters to complete your major... so keep your fingers crossed for me?

Last night me and Miranda cooked for all of our friends. Originally it was for Brooke and Maria since they helped us move in... but we invited all of our friends. Miranda made some AMAZING lasagna... and I made chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting... and I must say... that was the most amazing frosting I have ever made. Really rich... so you couldn't eat a lot... but AMAZING nonetheless. I don't know if I'll be able to make it that good again! lol.

Ok. Well if you read all of that... I will give you a piece of that chocolate cake ;).

Sooooooooooo tired.

Saturday, September 22, 2007

So after attempting to do homework and failing miserably (falling asleep) I thought I would take a break and post some pictures of my dorm. Or what my roommate last year liked to call a "glorified jail cell." I have no problem with it, I like my dorm just fine.Dresser. I was told it's way too cluttered? Come on... pick up my shoes, it'd be perfect. Ok, maybe it is a tad bit cluttered. *sigh*



My sweet TV! And our fridge.


My desk... yes I know it's messy... I was in the middle of doing homework. Oh... and yeah... talking to people too. I am an amazing multi-tasker :)

My loft/tv/fridge. No, I don't make my bed! Why would I?! And I was watching Home Improvement :D


My closet. Empty isn't it? I am so not a girl.

Friday, September 21, 2007

Here I am majorly slacking on this again. But sometimes I wonder if I am ever going to get caught up on sleep. And last night was just not a good night... way emotional and yeah. But I'm heading home this weekend... hoping to get some sleep, but I'm really not seeing that happen at all... what with having to go to the football game and then the CC meet.
And I am really thinking hard about changing my major. Which you guys know since you all read mom's blog. But I've been thinking what I really want to do is work with kids... so why the heck am I an English major? And I don't know, a lot of the plans that I thought were going to happen...

Ok... so maybe I'm not dumb... but I am pretty happy :)

Thursday, September 06, 2007

Allison is dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Sunday, September 02, 2007

Wow... have I ever been majorly slacking in the Blogging department. So I made it safe and sound back to school, which you guys already knew since you read mom's blog. I am so tired and sore and everything... and ugh. And now we're off to church, I guess... and there's a cookout this afternoon that I should go to, but I really don't care to. But I guess I'd rather go and feel awkward than have people start asking me questions about why I don't want to go anymore. Gah, peer pressure.

Anywho... I guess that's all I have for now. I could really go back to bed... I'm just glad I have tomorrow to sleep in...

Monday, August 20, 2007

Stolen from Valerie, because I really suck at updating this lately. And because I was in high school oh so long ago.

1. Who was your best friend? Hmm. I had a close group of friends. There were 6 of us. But I'd have to say Michelle was my best friend.

2. Did you play any sports? Nahh. I was a Yearbook & 4N6 nerd. I did bowl in a league for all 4 years, but my friends never considered that a sport.

3. What kind of car did you drive? I had a Dodge Spirit, then a Plymouth Breeze.

4. It’s Friday night. Where were you? Football games in the fall. Basketball or wrestling in the winter. And during the spring? Probably at home, or with friends.

6. Were you considered a flirt? Nah... I don't think so.

7. Were you in the band, orchestra or choir? Band all 4 years. Pit Orchestra. Pep band. Dorain Honors Band. SWAL Honors Band. Middle School Honors Band. I was such a band geek. How'd I get so good without practicing?

8. Were you a nerd? You could consider me that I guess. But I got along with pretty much anyone... except my friends at times.

9. Were you ever suspended or expelled? Nahh.

10. Can you sing the fight song? Heck yes. Even though I was usually playing it: "We're loyal to you Fennimore... We'll ever true Fennimore. We'll back you to stand as the best in the land 'cause we know you are grand Fennimore! U RAH RAH! We're in the fight Fennimore, so show them you're might Fennimore! Our team is our fame protector, on boys team for we expect a victory from you Fennimore! (yeah, they changed boys to team after I learned it. Bad habit I have.)

11. Who was your favorite teacher? Any one of my English teachers. I loved them all.

12. What was your school mascot? Golden Eagle.

16. Where were you on Senior Skip Day? Hitting up the Malls in Madtown.

17. Did you have a job your senior year? Dietary Assistant at the Good Sam. As much as I complained about that job, I miss it.

21. What year did you graduate? 2006.

22. Who was your Senior Prom Date? Well we had Junior prom. But I didn't have a date for either.

23. Are you going/did you go to your 10 year reunion? Probably. So I can be skinny and laugh in all the fatty's wrinkled faces from all their stupid fake baking.
Oops. Did I say that out loud. Silly me.

Wednesday, August 15, 2007

So I've really been slacking on this. I dunno... guess I suck... lol. 16 more days until I move in... not that I've been counting or anything.

Oh, and Stef. That song is Beautiful Disaster by Jon McLaughlin.

Friday, August 10, 2007



I think I love this song. Listen to the lyrics closely. I like them. Sound like me? Maybe? Kinda? A little?

Wednesday, August 01, 2007

Wooo Chicago! Amazing. Kayla's friends were wonderful. My time there was definitely short, but way sweet.
Kayla picked me up and then we headed to her place in Madison. The whole reason she was going to Chicago was to drop off a veil that she made for a friend, and it ended up snagging. She had to start it all over again so we chilled (ok. Roasted, her air wasn't working) in her apartment, and finally hit the road at about 6... ending up in Chicago at about 9:30. We met her house group, and they were an amazing bunch of people. Her friend Tricia was super nice, and we talked right away, which isn't an easy thing for me to do. We then went to her friend Emily's apartment to crash... and I think I fell in love. With the apartment I mean. It was an old house with 3 stories, and they lived on the 3rd floor. It was so sweet and little.. and aw.
We woke up about 9 the next morning and Kayla had to finish up the veil. So after a quick stop at Jo-Ann's and a grocery store to pick up some munchies, we headed to Starbucks to get coffee and finish the veil. Mmm I think I'm starting to like coffee. Anyways, we finished the veil. And then I got to experience the L-Train for the first time! That was fun... I ended up doing a lot of waiting for Kayla. She had to take care of some college stuff and some bank stuff. But I got to see where she used to work, and the custom-fit shoe store where I saved her from countless hours of boredom (I would talk to her on MSN when I didn't have class). Then we met up with her ex-boyfriend (I seriously think she was trying to set me up with him, but it's painfully obvious that he still wants her). We floated around lake Michigan for about an hour... then went and got some amazing ice cream, which Larry paid for. Then we had to drive around and find a place to leave the veil, and that took longer than expected.
Finally we were on our way home. We stopped at the Belvedere Oasis and realized that we hadn't taken many pictures, so we figured we better get on that. And we were outside on these tables, at 11 pm taking all these pictures. And a semi driver honked at us, and we were like what the heck? And we realized that he was laughing at us. I'm sure he thought we were drunk!
I learned 2 things. That if I ever decide to move to Chicago, for some strange reason, I'll already have friends there. :) And #2. Don't wear flip flops when you walk all over Downtown Chicago. Can you say Blisters? Ouch.

But I'm home, safe and sound, and hopefully planning another trip soon :D

Monday, July 30, 2007

I'm leaving for Chicago today :) I'm going with my friend who lived there for about a year, and she just recently moved to Madison. She wants to go visit some friends, and she has to deliver a veil that she's made. And since I didn't get the chance to go visit her while she was living down there, she invited me to go along this time.
So I suppose I will have an update when I get home. Time to finish packing :)

Saturday, July 28, 2007

I'm going to Chicago! Perhaps Valerie, I will get you a picture of my new hair! lol.

Friday, July 27, 2007



I laughed so hard I cried. Just ask mom.

Wednesday, July 25, 2007

I get to babysit for a teeny tiny baby tomorrow! He's about a month old, if that. The most adorable thing ever. He's the new baby brother of the other two I babysat for before... And they all look the same, so adorable.

Nothing new going on really. Still no life... lol. Counting down the days until school starts. Maybe I'll have a cute story to share tomorrow? I'm such a bad blogger... lol.

Sunday, July 22, 2007

Soo... I've been a little MIA lately. But, this is my 100th post! And pretty soon it'll be a year since I've started my little college blog. Reading back on some of the entries... wow.

My birthday was good. Thanks to all of you who left me birthday wishes! :) Had to wait a bit for my present, but I love it! A new hair straightener. It's sooo much faster and nicer, and it doesn't fry my hair. I also dyed my hair. I took a picture while we were shopping yesterday, so I will have to see how it looks and then upload it.

Me and Michelle went to Madtown yesterday to go shopping. Then we hunted down my friend Kayla and her new apartment. It's so cute! Makes me want one... but I really don't know if I could live by myself... in that part of town... like she is.
We headed over to Wal-Mart... must have been one of the only non-Super Wal-Marts left! It was sooo busy. Then we went to the mall. I found a new store... Gordmans. They had really cute stuff, and I got a couple of shirts. I ended up only buying shirts yesterday... so I could still use some jeans.

And yeah. It was a long day. But fun. :)
