Oh Why Oh Why Must We Be Crazy?

So Spirit Days '08 is finally over. I must admitt that I'm kinda sad to see it end. I do remember in the beginning I was like, "Don't know how this summer is going to turn out. I'm not too sure on the changes or the new crew." but as it came to an end, I was sad. I've made some awesome friends (PC wise and incoming student wise). And talk about the memories. Oh lordy. I didn't think one group could quote sooo much YouTube videos and not get tired of it. Pretty much amazing. It made it even funnier when people had NO CLUE what we were talking about. Then we got the lovely opportunity to enlighten them on what we were talking about! Priceless. But all in all it was a great summer. Even with the creeper guy that wouldn't stop following me. Ha! Just some pics to remember SD '08 by:

Did have a great time though! So much laughter was involved that my abs seriously hurt after our PC dinner one session. Can't beat that. :)

So to go along with my title, girls are crazy. I know I've said this before, but we really are. Let me explain. Why must we girls go back to something that we know will more than likely hurt us in the future? I even have friends that keep an eye on me to make sure I don't go do that certain something and yet I keep telling myself that everything's ok, when in reality, it really isn't. I know that in the long run I'll get hurt again and yet I keep psyching myself out. Why? I have no clue. I even tell myself all that bad things that have happened b/t us in the past and even still I'm like "Things will change." UGH. And then guys know when a girl is ticked off at them too cause then they do something so sweet out of the blue and then we are like "Damn. Why must guys do this?!?!" A guy friend even confirmed that guys will play their "sweet" card and they know when they are doing it! But in their defense, us girls do that too. And P.S what is up with mixed signals? Whether it be actions or words, they suck. And plus girls are suckers for when it comes to sweet words. I know I am at least. Boys are just stupid. Well, some of them at least. There are still a few good ones out there. Just haven't found them yet. :) But in the end I know I should listen to my friends and realize that I need to stay away from the things that will hurt me (again.). But always easier said than done. I've only felt this way about one other person before. Things were so much easier when boys had cooties.

----------

Have you had that feeling when something is going to happen? Whether it be big or small. I just have a feeling that Fall semester is going to be a big adventure. I just remember last Fall semester and oh boy that was interesting. One of the most memorable ones here at MSU. Fall is always awesome though. Football games, Homecoming, Family Weekend, etc just makes it awesome. Classes should be great as well. Then when you add in the social life. Oh boy. It's just going to be another interesting one. :)

----------

So I've been havin my dreams again. I hate having them. They always wake me up in the middle of the night wondering if something is going on with my friends/family. These are the dreams that make me call people the next morning to make sure they are alright. What makes it worse is that usually something that happens in the dream is related to something that has happened or is going to happen to that person. For example, last summer I had a dream that my friend came up to me crying on my shoulder. That's all she did. So the next day I facebooked her and asked her how she was doin and then told her about my dream. Come to find out, her grandmother had just passed away. No lie. Weird? I think so. I had a similiar dream like that last night about another friend and it makes me scared to ask him if everything is alright. *sigh*

----------

Random people are fun. We went out before Spirit Days and went to a place that I had never been to. SOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun! Here is a pic of two random guys who were dancing behind us and enjoyed having their pics taken:

They were entertaining actually. And funny! :) Anyhoo, this portion is really random but random people are just funny. Makes like interesting.

That is pretty much all for now. Thank the good lord above that tomorrow is pay day!!! :) AND FRIDAY! :)

cRaZy how things work ...

So Spirit Days this weekend was fab-U-lous!!! :) I must admit that it was one of the best sessions that I've worked! I think the best part was our organization fun! Soo much fun! It's always fun when the greeks do their little stepping and showing off. Although we were saying, we might have to get a cage for cage fighting next time! ha! :) But all in all it was such a fun weekend! I am still tired and dragging along but it's all worth it in the end. Now we are Transfer Day coming up which frightens me because the group is bigger than the last 2 sessions. Holy.Crap.

So one thing I discovered, well reminded me, this weekend about girls is that we are so un-predictable. And it drives me nuts when guys think that they know what we are thinking or they think they know what we want... WHEN WE'VE TOLD THEM WHAT WE WANT! GRR! Sorry-- it's just that one fella really drove me nuts this weekend. I also decided that when it come to guys, it's all about having fun and just enjoying life. I have came to the conclusion that I am just too young to be thinking about settling down. I'm only 22! I can't believe that like half of our graduating class is married and what not. And that's great for them. That may work for them but as for me, that's just not my thing right now. It's still fun to flirt with guys and just have fun. Although I haven't done that in a while, it was fun to do that this weekend! :) Must say, there were some cuties at this weekend's sessions! But some are just too young for me. It's like "Hi. I would like an apple martini and as for my boyfriend, oh, a glass of milk" kind of young. Ha! Well not that bad but I'm just saying. Ha!

So a lady told me on the phone today that I made her day better. Which in turn, made my day better as well. I was helping her get registered for Transfer Day and she thanked me for being so kind and that she never once got upset with me. People like that totally make my day. :)

P.S I love when friends have inside jokes. It's just the best things that friends could have between them, I believe. It's even funnier when people have NO CLUE what you are talking about! Ha! It's great. True story.

I have come to the conclusion that this summer has been filled with all the unexpected things. In May, I had in my mind what kind of summer this was "suppose" to be. Umm yeah. It's been total opposite of that. It's been like a roller coaster summer. It's had it's up ups and it's down downs. I understand that life is like that in general but for some reason it's just been for this summer. Sometimes things go as planned but not this time. I feel like I've really spiritually and mentally grown about some things. I see certain things in different ways and I've even noticed a small change in me as well. Not bad change but things like my opinions and views. For example, I was one of those "anti-sorority" girls. And now, I've given it a second thought. Which totally threw my parents for a loop! Ha! But just little things like that. It's really been an eye-opener for me. But a good eye opener. :)

So totally got pulled over last week. Friday to be exact. Yeah not fun. The idiot gave me 2 tickets. One was totally my fault. My inspection sticker is out. Has been for almost a year. HA! And then he gave me a ticket for my name not bein on the insurance. Umm excuse me. It's my mother's car and she insured it. Ugh. Very frustrating. So now I get to take care of that tomorrow. Whoo.Hoo. That should be fun.

Well I guess that's all for now. I'm still so tired. Prolly going to take a shower and chill for the evening! :) Have a great day! :)

Home*Sweet*Home

Who says you can't go home? Home.was.fabulous! This was exactly what I needed to give me a 're-charge' for the rest of the summer. There was so much stuff on my mind and this weekend really helped make those worries go away. The evenings at home are just so peaceful and quiet. That's what I love about country life. I'll always be a country girl at heart. I love that life. I wish I could be there all the time. Did a little grilling this weekend because I am the grill master! I made all the following on 4th of July: BBQ chicken, BBQ ribs, cheeseburgers, potatoes with smoked cheese, sausage links, steaks .. and I think that's all. Needless to say, we ate like Kings that night! :) 4th of July was awesome. The town celebration was great, as usual. Had the traditional foot long corn dog! Yummy. Then what could make the night better than awesome fireworks?! It was such a great day and wonderful weekend! :)

/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/

Soo don't you just love it when you find songs that you feel like are totally talking to you or about what's going on in your life?! Yeah-- me too! Thanks to the wonderful donation of awesome music from "MAPY" [you know who you are!] and I have found 'that' song! The chorus is pretty much self explanatory and I don't think I could have said it better myself:

"Why d'ya have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go"

But it's so true right now. And I have so many great friends telling me "Brandy, you need to let him stop playing ping pong with your emotions." And sometimes we just need that one moment where it hits us and we are like "OMG. They are right." I had that moment this weekend. I have in a way, let this person take control of my motions and pretty much my thoughts. I met a sweet & cute guy this weekend, and I HESITATED ON TALKING TO HIM because I seriously thought "What if I still have a chance with the other guy?" Seriously. What's wrong with me? Have I really let that person take that much control?! I didn't think I'd ever feel that way or let someone else make me feel that way. That's when I was like "Ya know what?! Screw that." So I talked the new cutie. It ended up where he was to work all night so we couldn't hang out BUT he has my number! :) haha! And the first "letting go" steps have begun! :) All this prolly sounds so cheesy but it means alot to me and alot of my friends know what I'm talking about too. He and I are still gonna be great and amazing friends but I just need to learn how to move on and take that control back.

/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/

Can't believe summer is almost half way over! OMG. Although, I am pretty excited about the Fall semester. I just have a feeling that it's gonna not only be eventful but interesting.. :)

Well I need to get unpacked and lay down. Hope everyone else had a fabulous weekend as well!!! :) Have a great night!

This time tomorrow ...

So this time tomorrow evening, I'll be home celebrating the 4th of July weekend with the family!!! Gosh, can't wait! :) It's gonna be so amazing to finally relax and spend some good quality time with them! Hope everyone else has a fabulous weekend as well! Don't get into too much trouble!

*************************************************************

Spirit Days weekend came and went without a hitch! Pretty amazing for it being the first session! It was so awesome meeting the kids we helped register over the phone! Sometimes it's creepy and they are like "Hey you're the one we talked to on the phone.. " or "Oh we know who you are .." But kids and parents like that just make it so worth it! Some of the kids were so hilarious and being around them almost make you feel great because you know that you had a part in welcoming them to campus. It's even more awesome that they recognize you when Fall semester starts too. This Spirit Days we did get nicknames which totally made the weekend more awesome! Due to the smallness of our backpacks and the bright color shirts [and plus me being Hispanic .. haha!] I am Dora , Michele is Diega, Shahala is Mapy, Fransico is Boots and we just decided that Sue is Backpack. Pretty much amazing and it was even more hilarious that we annoyed the hell out of people when Michele and I would sing the song. Priceless. Oh then there was the tennis ball.. hehe! That kept me sane although it made some others go insane. :) All in all it was a great Spirit Days! Our Real World skit was pretty awesome and I'm glad I was able to be a part of that! :) Can't wait for the other 2 sessions! They are gonna rock just as hard! Here are some memorable quotes from the weekend:

"She does tricks on the East side just to get a quick fix.." -Dustin and AnTuan to our waitress at Golden Corral [talking about Michele]

"Oh bless you.." -AnTuan to our waitress for bringing out more plates

"I love how you act black .." -Michele to AnTuan

Shahala jumping the curb in 'ol Blue ... PRICELESS.

"Where's waldo?" -Shahala and I all weekend about a certain someone

"We are like the country fraternity.." -Us overhearing a certain frat describe themselves

A conversation between Jenn, Shahala and I over Monday breakfast:
J: "You didn't get any of the questionable oatmeal?"
B: "That was oatmeal?! I was wondering what that was."
S: "They look like beans."

"Ahh you bastard." -Shahala talking to her tater tots at breakfast .. one got a way...

"Boys are stupid.." -Michele and I pretty much all weekend ..

Those were just some of them. I am sure there are more but those are the ones that stand out the most in my mind. I really enjoy the counselors this summer. I got to know some of them this weekend and they are HILARIOUS! :) We did discover that Michele, Dustin, AnTuan and I are not allowed to all sit together because we continuously laugh. Our abs really got a work out, let me tell ya! True story. [All you Shahala!]

*************************************************************

Today was a pretty awesome day in the office. I was pretty much there all day and totally didn't mind. It was awesome and I *heart* those ladies so much. They are the ones that make me day sometimes. Just continuous laughing. Which is what life is all about. :) I just can't wait til I hit the road to head home! Although that drive is boring at times, I love it at times. It's a nice drive to do some thinking and listen to some awesome music. [btw, thank you shahala for some new rockin' jams!] It's also time to just reflect about some things. Those are always the best drives! :)

*************************************************************

Well I prolly won't blog til I get back on Sunday! So I hope everyone has a great and safe holiday break! Be safe while blowing stuff up! Much love to you all! :)
