If you were coming in the fall,
I'd brush the summer by
With half a smile and half a spum,
As housewives do a fly.
If I could see you in a year,
I'd wind the months in balls,
And put them each in separate drawers,
Until their time befalls.
If only centuries delayed,
I'd count them on my hand,
Subtracting till my fingers dropped
Into Van Diemen's land.
If certain, when this life was out,
That yours and mine should be,
I'd toss it yonder like a rind,
And taste eternity.
But now, all ignorant of the length
Of time's uncertain wing,
It goads me, like the goblin bee,
That will not state its sting.

no place like home....
Boy is it good to be home....exam week was absolutely rediculous..i seriously thought it was possible i would lose my mind before we got done...and then..when we were finished i didn't know what to do with myself. So, I called Mom and Dad and they said "come home!!" of course. Mom was like "just throw all your dirty clothes in a trash bag, and throw everything in the car and come!"....i was sooooo worn out but i went and grabbed some coffee from books-a-million who by the way was having serious issues that day, and then i went back and ran up and down the stairs just piling things into the car... the drive home seemed like it flew by and I was so relieved and thrilled to be done with EXAMS!!
I can't believe how long yesterday was..I mean, yesterday morning seems like it was forever ago! A LOT of things happened...lets see....
1. I got up and Shelly Dawg and I got ready and went to Food Lion to get a cake and candles and such for Christina's B-day!
2. We parked in the parking garage on the sixth floor and people were taking FOREVER to park...but atleast we didn't have to carry that cake on the bus!
3. we took what i thought was quite a difficult pathophysiology exam that i'm praying i did ok on.
4. I went to the nook and finished a work site analysis for Peter and then wrote Jerry's Self-eval paper real quick-like, and did my HIPPA training over again bc the chick lost it....then went and printed it all off and turned stuff in which was a relief to be done with that.
5. Then we had a little "nook party" for Christina. Shelly and I tried to get the cake ready in the hallway and that was almost a serious disaster....really we were a fire hazard.....she picked out these funky candles that took forever to light and i was bout to burn my fingers and she was laughing so the cake was shaking and i was laughing so my hands were shaking and then when i tried to blow out the match before it burned me I blew out half the candles i had lit! So of course we laughed even more as the candles melted and shelly was paranoid we were going to set off the fire alarm..so i resorted to spitting on the matches to make sure they didn't start a fire in the trash but then i spit on my hair..it was serioulsy a rough point in the day...we laughed a LOT! but we survived and the cake was yummy! That's what i ate for lunch! ha..healthy lunch
6. Next we went to Jerry's class where we were all a little loopy from the week being over but it went well and we talked about fieldwork (starts MONDAY woohoo).... we all cheered when class was over...boy was that a good feeling..i really almost cried from relief of the week being over.
7. Went home and tried to figure out what to do next...layed on the bed for like 20 min getting my thoughts together..then went and called my parents who talked me into coming home. Packed up all my things real quick and drove to good ole prosperity!
8. Sat and talked to my mom for an hour then went to "the palms" in newberry, one of only a few choices we had for dinner...it was really good i had salmon..and our waiter was hilarious.....DUDE he is TOTALLY KIPS COUSIN!! for real i am not lying i was wishing i had my video camera!! Where is ET shelly and AMY when you need them?? My parents def wouldn't have understood so i laughed inside like the whole time we were there....then this other random waiter guy brought us our food and called it all chicken even tho it was NOT Chicken..oh well...good to be back in the country...randomness
9. then we went to walmart at like ten thirty to get all kindsa stuff..and there were random people there too..it was so weird being back becasue people are so different here...there were these two really big tall guys wearin their blue jeans and cut-off sleeveless shirts talking all loud and lookin' goofy ...this one guy talkin' all country was like " i can't believe i work at a grocery store and i gotta come to wal-mart to buy groceries" he was so loud! i was like who really says stuff like that and thinks people care?? oh welll...then when we got to the parkin lot he was there again sayin random stuff really loud and i was like there is no way he is really talkin to us this is so weird.
10. went back home and i was sooooo tired i turned on law and order SVU for a bit and couldn't even finish watching to see who the killer was!! i was so sleepy...what a long day to end a long week!!
Today was good though, it started with some really good coffee that Dad made...i washed a TON of clothes..and my car...and cleaned it out and now it smells all nice..i LOVE having a clean car..and i took a lil ride on the golf-cart and washed it too! Yay now everything is clean and it felt like summer-time outside today!! and we had a wonderful supper too! Plus, if i can find my fishing license tomorrow i'm goin fishin'! Yay for bein' home...plus tomorrow is EASTER and the Easter bunny is coming!!
oh, and yay we have an OT blog now!! Thanks to Cara!

Blame ET!
Tuesday Chooseday....
Tuesday is Chooseday....
1. Definately dead fish...i kinda like that fishy smell..reminds me of the lake
2. Hmm...walking backwards is pretty fun..slightly dangerous but fun
3. Golf Cart dude..I love golf carts!! They remind me of camp..and my parents have this fun red one that i like to ride up and down our dirt road.
4. ewwww ....bee sting i think?? I've never had either!! So they both sound pretty scary!!
- Would you rather:
- smell like dead fish OR rotten eggs?
- walk backwards OR crawl on your hands and knees?
- drive everywhere in a golf cart OR a dump truck?
- be stung by a bee OR bit by a spider?

long week
One of my fav pics of the day!
its been an extremely long week but I HAVE survived it! Yay! So glad its over!
it was sad that it was our last day at Active Day today..i've fallen in love with some of the people there...so...instead of being sad...Shelly and I decided we're goin back every friday once we get back from our lil break!
Yes that's right i did say BREAK! Woohoo! We're goin' to have a break! A breathe of fresh air! A brief respite! A walk in the park..a lay on the beach...time to catch our breathe...rest our minds...sing a song..you get the picture...
so we were talkin' today and i was like dude, Shelly do you realize that in one week we'll be done with this semester which means....we'll be second years...and even better we will only have TWO SEMESTERS of school left..possibly for the rest of our lives! How exciting is that?? I can tell u..its unbelievably exciting...after all this hard work..i can't wait to have a real job that I'm completley excited about! Yay!
Happiness!
Just gotta survive next week of exams...blah..but then its off to Medically Fragile Children of Columbia! :-) Can't wait!

a little sunshine goes a long way...
Wow..what a fun afternoon....first of all, I have to say that a little sunshine really does go a long way.....i didnt have much time this afternoon but i was desperate for a little fresh air...seems like there is so much to do...and so many things to keep up with ...like these few weeks are so busy there's no time just to breathe and relax and regroup...so today..i had a little celebration all by myself..i walked to the pool and layed out! Boy did it improve my entire day....a little sunshine on your skin makes you feel warm inside all afternoon long...makes you feel healthy..gosh i wish i had time to do that every day...
Then...later tonight Shelly and i went over to ET and Amy's apartment....always fun..and funny......we decided, after talking about icecream for a while, and discussing several good ice cream establishments that we should in fact drive to the one that is the farthest away....and it was a trek....but well worth it. We had quite a lot of fun on the way..mostly singing and dancing and doing a bit of photo taking....

theme songs of the trip included:
- I'm In Love with a Stripper
- Bye Bye My Baby Bye Bye
- Gold Digger
- You can't hurry love
- Walk Away
- Unwritten
- Stupid Girl
- What Hurts the Most
- P.I.M.P.
Overall I'd say...the ice tea rocked..and birthday cake icecream has to be one of the best things in the world...and even better, according to ET, you can find it in Piggly Wiggly..she says blue bell ice cream makes a birthday cake flavor now with chocolate cake and chocolate icing...i'm so checkin that out this week!
