Spring, Summer and Fall

It has been 10 days since I last blogged. A lot has happened. I found out who CoolGuy is (I'm not telling right yet, so don't ask me!). I finished my first semester of college. And I'm already experiencing boredom from not having anything to do. I hate it.

Sooo.... CoolGuy is pretty amazing from what I know of him. We have been emailing for the last week. Things I've noticed about him in the last week: he rarely smiles in a picture. I think I make him so nervous inside that he just clams up (I can't decide if that is annoying or cute!). He is extremely laid back, calm, and he hides his emotions pretty well. He is an interesting guy; he's a cool guy! haha! I'm so lame.
He promised not to read my blog anymore so I could have my space to write whatever I wanted. Personally, I really appreciated that. I was shocked and amazed that he knew I needed my sounding board! Maybe I shouldn't have been so shocked, daddy says people can find out a whole lot about me just by reading my blog. :0

Finals. I only had two and they were both today, back to back. I think I did pretty good! I'm not scared of getting my results back so that should be a good thing. I miss school already. I don't like having nothing to do. I thrive on deadlines (I think). I'm looking forward to summer school. June 23rd! I am in learning support math (not my best subject apparently!) and I'm taking a health class.
In the fall I am taking Comp II, French II, American Government, weight training (whatever that is! my advisor asked if I wanted to and I said, sure!), Intro to PSYC, and if I pass the math support (which I will pass!), then College Algebra will be added to the schedule.

I am looking forward to painting during my summer break. My plans include the hallway and the dining room. I am trying with all my might to find a Ralph Lauren color I saw in a magazine a couple months ago. I saw the color, Creamy Copper, in the December 2008 Better Homes and Gardens, in January. I LOVE that color! I want to paint the hallway and I'm thinking half of the dining room wall the same color. I just think it's the perfect color to gracefully blend the living room (a deep, brick-ish red) and the bathroom (a bright violet). But Home Depot can't find it in their computers. If anyone has a copy of that magazine from December that they are willing to give up I would love to have it!
The dining room wall is separated into two sections and I think I would like to paint the bottom a dark brownish copper and the top the creamy copper (which is more of a gold color).
The hallway I want the entire thing to be the creamy copper. It doesn't have the greatest lighting, and I think the creamy copper because it's a kind of a metallic color it will glimmer and I think it will be very nice.
Sometime in the future my plan is to also paint the Kitchen. I'd like to paint it a blue color with brown/beige/tan-ish accents. The kitchen towels we have are blue and tan so I'd like to stick with that.

After I paint all of those rooms I'll be done. I would have painted every room in the house except Dad's bedroom and bath. I'm excited. I love painting. I love the smell.

I also want to plant a small garden during my free summer hours. I am hoping to do that before we leave on vacation. I would love to have fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and definitely watermelons this summer. I'd like to get in the habit of gardening year round, according to what is in season, but we'll see how that goes!

AHHHH!!!! My Hair Is Gone.

I had to stop and take a break from studying. I'm going on four hours and I'm feeling it. I have three more pages and 1 chapter to finish in Sociology. I need to go over Public Speaking and French (starting today I will study French everyday... maybe I'll begin to blog in French!!) and then I need to review my English notes for tomorrow. Thank goodness I've already read everything I needed to read for that class! I would be be going crazy right now if I hadn't.

Can you tell I've been typing up my notes while studying? One of my teachers said to type everything with two spaces between words and I'm trying to get in the habit. *Edit note (the spaces didn't show up in the blog. But I did do two spaces! I promise!)*

I cut my hair again. I didn't like it the way it was and so I had it cut again. I'm not sure I like it this way either. And I can guarantee you I will be growing this stuff out. I'm a bit tired of short hair right now. I don't think I'll be going to see my stylist for a while. It's not that I don't like her (she's new and I LOVE her), I just want my hair back to normal. I'm a bit worried right now about not looking feminine (yes, it is that short!). So I will probably wear make-up everyday (if I'm going out of the house that is!) and...drum-roll.... Bethany and Marianna will appreciate this more than anyone else... I bought new earrings. I know. I know. You never thought you'd see the day. But I did and I'm wearing a pair now. I just can't stand the thought of people seeing that I only wear one or two pairs (can someone give a shout-out for peer pressure?!) and also I wanted some that would be quite noticeable. I'm a bit concerned with Dad's reaction to my hair too. We'd just talked about girls having hair that looked too closely like guys hair... and look what I have?!

Be honest with me. Does it look bad? I am soo worried! But I'm kinda hoping it will make me look more my age. Does it do that?

Oh well. I've got it until it grows out or until I grow used to it. We'll see which one comes first. I just remembered I only have one class tomorrow and plenty of time to study tomorrow so I'm going to finish my 3 pages and then go home. It's time. Time for time spent with the family.
