STRESS you don't really know what it is till college!!!!!

Well the fall semester is coming to an end with only two weeks left. And let me tell you it will be a VERY stressful 2 weeks.  I have a 10 page paper due along with 3 finals! I keep saying only 2 more weeks then I don't have to deal with Chemistry ANYMORE, or my horrible anatomy teacher! But to be honest I could really use two more weeks added on or more hours in a day to get everything done!!!!! Last week there was only 3 days of school thanks to Thanksgiving break! And man did I need a break, but I couldn't have been more busy for those 3 days.  2 tests and 1 speech kept me on my toes! Then of course on Tuesday night I come down with a 100 degree fever! So the 4 day weekend finally came and I had a great time with family and just relaxing! Now for this week, I have to finish my 10 page paper (that I just started today, I know I was a big huge procrastinator on that) and study for anatomy! All along my parents and I are heading up to NAU this weekend to talk to someone from the Athletic Training program and take a tour of the campus!!!!!!! I just can't wait for that, it will be a nice break.  So that is kind of a quick update, there will be a more extensive post after this weekend and I will get some cool pictures put up!  All you college students good luck on finals!!!!!!!

Keep your fingers crossed!

   
   So the first of October I "accidentally" applied to NAU haha.  Some of you may be thinking "Wait accidentally, but I thought she wanted to go there?" Well I do! It's just that the application process for transfer students was sooooooo easy!  All I had to do was put in my information then hit send, and send them my MCC and High school transcripts. Oh and start paying them before I am even accepted, let the expensive education begin!  So I did all of this and sent my transcripts online.  My high school transcripts were sent through Docufide. Well I got an email saying they were sent, then another saying NAU had received them.  A couple weeks later I got a letter from NAU, I was so excited I thought it was an acceptance letter.  Uhm... actually it was a letter saying they had not received my high school transcripts.  So I called the number on the letter, and the guy said they would get someone on it.  I guess they are still looking for someone to help... haha.  It's ok though I went to Mountain View today and got my transcripts and they are now heading up to NAU via snail mail.  So hopefully I will hear soon! 

     Another reason to keep your fingers crossed with me! I am starting my application process for the Athletic Training Education Program! I have started asking for many "GOOD" letters of recommendation (Thank you Matt Blackburn for that piece of advise :) ).   I have emailed some of the professors that are in charge of the program to see if I can come and talk to them before I finalize my decision to go up there.  Don't worry I've pretty much had this decided since like 8th grade.  So please keep your fingers crossed that I get into NAU, get to talk with someone from the program, and get into the program! If I don't get in for some odd reason, I have decided to apply for the Disney PAID Internship!  I shall keep you updated! :)

CRAZY WEEKEND!

    As many of you may know I work for the City of Mesa as a lifeguard, swim instructor, and a head coach.  This past weekend though, I got to add yet another job title to my list... janitor!  This weekend was the high school state swim meet! It started on Thursday and lasted until Saturday.  So this is how the weekend went!  On Thursday I got to work just to help clean up after the day, luckily we had a few kids from one high school that had to help us clean because they decided to pull a prank on their freshman and vandalize their home pool.  Smart I know, why would you vandalize your own pool!? Needless to say, we got done pretty fast! Then came Friday, I headed right over to Kino when I got done with school.  We put up a rotation (which was the easiest rotation ever because everyone knows how to swim!) and on our breaks we had to go check trashes and put toilet paper in the bathrooms.  So Thursday night again was not as bad, the kids came back to help, but since Thursday was the smaller schools there was not as much trash.  
   Then there was Saturday, yesterday, I don't think I have ever seen so many people in my life! I got there and had to park in the baseball fields behind the school!  This was after I had to deal with children who had sugar for breakfast and didn't want to listen to me in lessons! So the day followed the same time-line as the day before, rotate, trash, toilet paper.  Then came after the meet!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOSH!!!! I have never seen so much trash in my life.  Our hoodlums came during the meet and helped get some trash cans emptied, then left because it was homecoming! Which is fine because what could take us 20 minutes took them 45 minutes.  So after the meet we started picking up trash around the bleachers and in the team areas! Luckily for some reason we had a shopping cart, and we used a big red cart provided by maintenance to put trash bags on and take them to the dumpster.  Well by the time we were done the dumpster was full and there were about 50-75 trash bags that could not fit in the dumpster.  So by that time it was like 7:45, and we still had to do the bathrooms! So we did the bathrooms and got out of there by 9:00 pm! 
     Needless to say, I am kind of sore today! But I had an awesome weekend with some awesome people!!!!!! I would do it all again in a heartbeat! Plus it helps that I got paid for it all :)

My First Blog!

So this is my very first blog post! Well technically like my third... I had to have a blog for a computer class but it was with a different site and I only put one sentence each time.  So really this is my first non-forced blog post haha.  I decided I would start one because I have seen some of my friends' blogs and it seems like a great way to let everyone know what is going on in your life!  I have really enjoyed reading some of them, so I thought "hmm... why don't I start one, it looks like fun."  So here it is my blog.  I will try to keep up with it as my life goes on through college and hopefully throughout my career.  I hope everyone enjoys my blog :)
