well my first semester has officially been done since friday, and im now home for a month. I love being home and not having to worry about school and homework. but i miss my new friends, and none of my old ones are home yet, so it is kinda lonely. can't wait to see you guys! oh yeah, and grades were posted today, and i think im gonna be ok, school is going to be a success!

First semester is over! I'm done, and loving it. last night i went out and with no cares in the world. i had nothing to do for class monday...or even for the next month. It is great to be done, absolutely great. im so excited to see you guys over break! back to oringinallity. however, i am gonna miss milwaukee, i love it there, but im not gonna miss the work. finals killed me, my brain is fried and im ready to have an awesome break. work mon through thurs, babysit some friday's and party the rest of the time. hit me up if you want to chill!

life just has a funny way of doing the exact opposite of what your asking for. but sometimes that is just half of what makes life fun!

In case any of you actually watch the news...tonight at the parking structure behind my dorm at marquette, there was a supposed man with a hand granade...i guess. we were out on our grass field outside playin football with another dorm when we were all told to get in our dorms NOW! so of course we ran when we saw at least 15 cops with huge ass guns go into the parking structure. we watched for about 30 min and then the search was over. i don't believe they found anyone, nor do i know if there really was anyone, but most of the cops left, however now i just looked out my window again and there are still at least 5 cops just standin out there chillin, and one inside walking around. so yeah. just thought id let you all know. im  safe!

This weekend was pretty much amazing. Friday night i went out with a few of my marquette friends. we went to what was supposed to be a small party, but turned into a pretty big one. to get the people out, they said the cops were coming, even though they weren't. fun times. then saturday...omg, no word. i went to see Billy Ray Cyrus in concert. i had loved him since i was 4, so my mom made me a poster saying that. we got our tickets thursday and got row Q, but the whole concert i stood right by the stage, he encourage it. at the end he grabbed a pen and started signing things. he gave out his red bull can and a towel, but i was the first to get his autograph. he saw my poster, grabbed it, read it, and said "i really appreciate this, thanks for growing up" he asked me my name, and how to spell it, where everyone else just got his autograph. i felt special, not to mention, after he signed it, he reached down and shoke my hand. my mom thought i was going to die, or faint or somethin, cuz she said she had to hold me up! like i said AMAZING!!! then my weekend just continued to be great. Sunday, i went to the PACKER vs. viking game. PACKERS WON!!! 33 to 0 it was a great game. then my mommy let me skip two of my classes this morning, so i didn't go back till this morning and only had to go to 3 out of my 5 classes for the day. such a great weekend, hope this coming one works out too!!!
