so today at my 'last' seminar class (stupid boring) ... right after i got there...they said we're not having it but we have to come back next week! Cheese and crackers! i hate that class......that's like when they tell you class is cancelled by a note on the door....have you not heard of email!?!!

So I ran into so many oconnor (or OconnEr as kmart thinks it is) kids this past week - meg and steph at the fox and hound then at church today I saw preston! Crazy!

Manda came to visit and it was super....we danced a lot....that dance dance revolution. it was so super! ok i'm getting pizza.

oh and i have jewel (my dog) for the last week and one more week! She's soooo cute!

Bottom line: too lazy to write but having a great week!

Dear Dude,

How are you? I'm good, but a little busy. My profs decided to all assign a homework due on the same day, not in the distant future. Plus my research is due now and I have a big project coming up. Plus I'm a little tired, and I've hardly played any tennis this week. It's very sad!

Now for the good: I'm headed to Astroworld this weekend to visit my friend Steph and her beau, and so I'm not the third wheel, I invited my friend (actually my friend Marilee's ex) to meet us, because he's already down there. I think it will be really fun! Plus tonight I'm making dinner with Marilee then we're doing homework and maybe tennis if we get the time. Even boring stuff can be fun if you sandwich it correctly.

Anyway, I have to run, thanks for listening! I hope you're having a great day and not too stressed out!

Since it's been forever since I've written, I have a lot to say (Shocking!)....went to austin this weekend to watch manda's step show (she was awesome!), and it could have been a big drama type situation because i had been talking about it so much during the week, 5 friends came up too...and you know how everyone wants one thing and someone always gets pissed off...blah blah blah. well it didn't happen! we all did a bunch of separate things and hit bars and danced, and it was awesome! even picking restaurants wasn't a big deal! I find this totally awesome, especially because I hadn't hung out with most of the people going longer than an hour or two. Oh and mich let us stay with her (it was a HUGE sleepover...totallly awesome!) thanks! adn Kim came to dinner with us at ZTejas (a totally good place I had in phoenix, with great cornbread, and the origional restaurant in austin doesn't serve it....crappy!) but yummy food. and the next day i had a killer taco at some place in austin, hehe really narrows it down, huh?

But I had been out late (at bars/playing basketball/whatever) until at least 1am everynight for 6 nights in a row...and needless to say I was wiped. I thought I was sick yesterday, so I laid in bed allll day. but it turns out I was just tired. good excuse to get out of class, sadly i missed my soccer game (we were in the quarters or something)...and one of our girls got injured by the other team (they were crazy abusive) and so we ended up a girl short for 1/2 the game. Sad. I feel kinda bad cuz we lost and we're out, but I really don't think I would have done much good since I was so tired and not energetic.

Random thought of the day: i like cheese. i had some for lunch, and it just reaffirmed my love of cheese.

ok done. soccer's great - austin a blast. cheese yummy. yea!

I think the fact that Kim has a job rocks! I thought it was the study place I go for my meds, which would have been funny, but it's not....so it's not funny.

I have soccer playoffs tonight....I hope we don well. I've only played once with this team before, but we're decent (or they are anyway). Tomorrow night is bball playoffs at 11pm....11pm! If you think I'm crap at 7pm...whoo....don't even come to this game!

Tennis is going well, my serve is really improving. This last game we played with 2 new guys (again...I know....tennis sluts). but it really is fun because we play a girl and guy on each side, let everyone serve once, switch girls on each team,  let everyone serve once, play girls on guys,  let everyone serve once, then start again. It's really great because you almost always come out with an even record...and switching it up like that lets you play for like 2 hrs, without even realizing it! Yeah!! Tennis is great!

Bottom line: 11pm is too late for a playoff game in any sport...we'll hopefully win in soccer (because of my magical kleats), and tennis is great....oh and kim rocks!

I hate yelling....why do people yell in normal conversation, and think that's normal? It's the first step of abusive homes. It's emotional crap....I hate yelling! I haven't yelled, let alone gotten in an argument (outside of with linds and mom) in years! (oh except for that girl in the library i wrote about)....it's so not cool and i totally have a headache and just want to cry from all the stress. what's up with yelling!?!? ok i'm going to go back and pretend all the yelling is okay again.

bottom line: grrr

So I've played tennis, like every night this week.....everytime with marilee, but a different guy (or two) each night. it's so much fun - they're literally making appt's with us to play.....dork i know, i'm all excited about tennis, but some of the guys are hot....and i'm definately fulfilling my 'meet new people' thing. yeah! i hope you have a great easter!

bottom line: i made scalloped potatoes and home-made french fries at 2am (just finished) but i can't eat them b/c it's good friday (catholics fast)....i hope they're good! Harpreet: you never called me back. i feel used.
