3 Day Weekend!

Ok so usually in the summer I don't get too excited about weekends. Even with work during the week, it's still summer so you can basically do what you want. Plus I always work all weekend too. (On a side note, my work scheduled me for Friday night, Saturday morning, AND Saturday night. Ugh!)

Anyway, this whole summer class thing is completely altering my perceptions of summer (Read: summer classes suck). Weekends have become the highlight of my existence, even with working all the time. So I was especially thrilled for a three-day break over Memorial weekend.

Not so thrilling was the process of attempting to get some time off work so I could actually enjoy the weekend. I legitimately needed time off because I had a friend's wedding to go to and I road-tripped out to Sidney, Nebraska to meet all my boyfriend's relatives. Anyway, they gave me Friday and Sunday off, but scheduled me for a double shift on Saturday. I had to majorly suck up to get Saturday off and had to work Sunday instead. So we had to leave Sidney at 9 am Sunday morning to get back to Lincoln by 4 so I could work at 4:45...

Road-tripping!

I suppose that was better than the drive out there. We had to leave Lincoln at 7 am on Saturday.

But that all is besides the point. It was a wonderful three-day weekend involving a lot of wonderful people, a wedding, 12 hours in the car, a gigantic family reunion where I was known as "Colby's Girlfriend," grilling, and not very much sleep. We were going to attempt camping at some point in there but the weather was uncooperative, so we camped in my basement, sleeping bags and all =)

The name tag they made for me.
I literally was "Colby's Girlfriend."

And now it's back to the daily grind of class and work...oh well.

Busy busy bees.

I realize I haven't posted in forever, but I've been really busy. School is starting to kick my butt and there is ALWAYS something going on.

I had a quiz Wednesday and Friday in the same class. Our teacher didn't tell us about either of them. I have a test in that same class this upcoming Wednesday.

I'm taking 16 hours this semester, which isn't terrible, but it's more than I'm used to. Also, one of those classes is about six hours a week and only counts for 1 credit hour. Add in work, student government stuff, and everything else, I've kind of forgotten what free time is.

I'm super excited for today because it's the first day in forever that I have nothing going on. I don't have to work or go anywhere or do anything, I can just hang out. I went on a run this morning, ate an omelet, and now I'm probably going to take a nap here pretty soon, maybe study, and go to a movie tonight.

I love Saturdays.

Not quite yet...

I know my last post was all about getting back into the swing of things, but it's a little hard to do when there's a three-day weekend already.

And while I should probably get started on some homework, I'm going to put it off a little longer. See I've a had great weekend so far full of stupid funny movies (Eurotrip and The Other Guys), Packers football (Go Pack Go!), late night sledding (Brrr!), sleeping in (sort of), and spending time with some great friends, and there's still a whole day left. I'm not quite ready to do school-related anything.

Some friends rented a cabin for the weekend and it was great to get out of Lincoln, even just for a night. Definitely an awesome way to spend some time off. I spent the weekend with, among a few other people, my boyfriend, an avid Packers fan, and a kid from Wisconsin. I like the Packers and they had a pretty fantastic game, but let's just say we all heard A LOT about it. Even when we all finally called it a night and went to bed, the two of them kept going on about Green Bay's 48-21 domination of the Atlanta Falcons. It was actually pretty hilarious. They were like girls at a slumber party, except they were two 20-something guys laying in bunk beds talking about football.

Even better was that we woke up at 8:30 and watched Tom & Jerry (I love Tom & Jerry, no joke), followed by Sports Center for more Packers highlights and then pancakes.



How am I supposed to handle homework after all that?
