Update

So it has been along time since I have blogged and decided that it would probably be a good idea to post an update letting everyone know what is going on with me.

As most of you already know I just recently got back from my trip to North Carolina to see my aunt and cousin. Most of you also know that this was my first trip on an airplane, and I was incredibly nervous. It all turned out OK and I made it through it. On my way there my flight from Seattle to Chicago was delayed for about 4 hours I believe(it was between 3 and 4 hours) i kind of lost track of time after a few hours. The Chicago airport was completely shut down due to snow. Once we finally got boarded onto the plane we had to sit there for about 45 minutes waiting for our pilots to show up and do thier walk around. Finally we leave for our almost 4 hour flight. Once I finally got into Chicago it was around 10 or 1o 15 and I had to rush and figure out if my original flight to North Carolina had left yet or not and if not what gate i needed to be at. I quickly realised that I needed to be on the other end of the Chicago airport and ran there so that I didnt miss the flight. I got there and then they decided that they needed to move out gate so that we could actually board our plane. Where do they move us, to the exact place i had just come from. Im talking the exact gate that i had just walked thru to get into the airport. By the time I got off the plane in North Carolina it was about 3AM. Finally! i was suppose to arrive there about 6 hours earlier around 8:30pm. needless to say i was alittle tired and ready to stop pulling my luggage around with me everywhere i went.

So we got to my aunts house and she showed me around and showed me my room, around 4 or 5 i finally fell alseep(my body still thought that it was 3 hours earlier) I woke up about 4 hours later and my aunt was up and ready to start doing things, we just had to wait on my cousin. Once he got there we were off and ready to start our weeklong site seeing extravaganda. I was there from saturday morning the 22nd until saturday the 29th. I will list off the things that we did while I was there.

that pretty much sums up what i did when i was on vacation. we dont need to go into details about all of those things. If you want to know about any specific place on that list let me know and I will be more than willing to tell you. I had a really good time and saw alot of really cool places while I was there and got to spend alot of quality time with my family.

Now i am back at home and back at work and school. My hours have been cut at work, im pretty sure becuase i went on vacation and they had to higher someone new to cover my shifts while I was gone, so that pretty much blows but hopefully that will change soon. School is not to bad so far this term I am taking spanish 103, Math 65, HPE 295, and Writing 121. It is definitly going to keep me busy that is for sure. I am still waiting to hear if i have been accepting to western oregon university or not. I hope to hear soon so that I can figure out my Financial Aid for next year.
I have not been up to alot other than going on vacation for spring break,just trying to relax now that i am back, becuase as i am sure you noticed i didnt have alot of relaxing time while i was on "vacation".

Now totally on a very different subject. I have realised latly that I have very wierd dreams. I just cant figure out that point to them at all. And alot of the times I have a hard time remember them. I have decided that what i am going to do from now on is write them down when i wake up in the morning. Understanding my dreams is always something i have wished that I was able to do, maybe writing them down will do a few things. I am hoping that it will help me remember them alittle better and maybe it will help me understand it a little better if I am writing them down triggering thoughts about it. Who knows what i am really dreaming about on a nightly basis but i know that it is always kind of odd..

well i think is enough blogging for one night. Time for me to get to work on some much needed homework! have a good weekend
