playing catch-up

Sorry for the lack of posting - I've been really busy with school...and Laura.

She came out last weekend - SOOO much fun! It's taken me till now to catch up on the lost sleep. Basic run-down of the weekend:
Friday - We went to Landsford Canal to see the rock lilies. If you haven't seen them, you really should go! Then we went to see The Da Vinci Code. Laura hated it. I thought it was pretty good, but if you've seen any movie like National Treasure, you've pretty much seen this movie.

Saturday - Went to see Laura F's graduation in Columbia at 0830. VERY early in the morning. It would have been fine if we would have at least SEEN the graduation - it was supposed to be outside, then it started raining, and the chapel is too small to hold everyone. BAH.

Sunday - Went to Carowinds. I wish more of y'all would have bought a season pass. Oh well.

The rest of the week was pretty boring. I'm REALLY starting to miss Laura again - she's not coming out this week and she won't be here for another week. I guess it's a good thing though - I have several papers to work on for school. I actually should be doing those now. Maybe after supper...

More Class

So I start Maymester tomorrow. Monday through Friday I'll take CTQR 150 (math/statistics) from 11 - 1340. Then (Monday - Thursday) I'll clean the preschool after CTQR, then book it back to Art History (Michaelangelo) by 1645. That lasts till 2000. That's 6 hours of school, all day, everyday. I'm not used to that :-P. At least it's only 3 weeks. Everything ends June 2...That's when Laura moves here! YAY!

Oh, I added an update/edit to the previous post - just to kinda close out the post. It kinda trailed off there near the end.

Oh, and I was just reading through my older entries...check out what I found:
"I've kept myself busy with classwork and my girlfriend - wow that sounds weird, but good!"
--me on 2/19/06 in the 1/13/06 post.

"I tell ya, being engaged is a pretty weird feeling...you go from boyfriend to fiancee in an instant. Ah, but it's well worth it."
--me in my previous post, 5/14/06

I said the same thing about LJ as my girlfriend just 3 months ago. I haven't even had a chance to introduce her to people as my girlfriend yet, now she's my fiancee. Pretty cool, huh?

um...that's all for now. Don't you hate it when people don't update for months at a time, then give you several pages at once? Not that any of you care, since you probably don't even read this mess. :-P

The call is still out there for anyone with a CTQR book, btw...

g-city

So Laura and I aren't dating anymore. Here's the story:

Laura and I met in Greenville, SC on Friday. We went to books-a-million, then she took me out to eat at Jack in the Box, then I took her to the (very cool) Greenville Zoo. After that, we went to Reedy River Falls Historic Park - a really cool and romantic park right in the middle of downtown Greenville complete with waterfall and suspension bridge. We walked around there for a while, then found a nice little spot on a rock under a tree where we sat and talked.

I had some graduation presents for Laura, including a card, a zippo (just for kicks), a bluetooth headset, and the Kingdom Hearts II video game that she's been wanting for a while. Because I'm lazy and didn't wrap anything, I had her turn around while I pulled them all from my bag. Each time she would tell me I better not have anything else for her. Psh...like I would listen to that. :-P

Oh, here are some pictures of LJ at the park. Notice anything?



I had her turn around for one more present, but had some trouble pulling it out because it was in a pretty big box. I pulled out the present, got on my knee, and had her turn around as I said "Ok, here's your last graduation present, but you have to say 'yes' before you can have it. Laura, will you marry me?" Of course, she reaches for the ring before saying yes, but I stopped her...lol ^_^ She promptly said yes, and now we are engaged, which explains the first line of this post.

I tell ya, being engaged is a pretty weird feeling...you go from boyfriend to fiancee in an instant. Ah, but it's well worth it.

edit: Just to finish the story, we went to Sticky Fingers for supper. Laura felt bad because I bought her so much stuff, so she bought me dinner and tobacco. Isn't she SWEET! I have the best girlfriend er...fiancee in the WORLD!

Hope all of you had a weekend as eventful as mine! or not, whatever...;-P

ho-hum

:-(

Today was boring without LJ. I really don't know what to do. Luckily I'll be able to focus on maymester now that she's graduated and is living at home for 3 weeks.

Yesterday was pretty fun, though. Matt, Dave, Spence, Angie, and Steph all came over for a high school reunion of sorts. We sat up in my room talking and laughing for a while. That was lots of fun. Thanks guys! It's always great to talk about stuff from 2 years ago in High School as if it were yesterday. Living in the past is the only way to live, baby! Especially when the past was so freaking hilarious.

Hmm...what to write, what to do... I have a full hour to fill until 9pm when I'll be calling Laura.

Oh, and if any of you Winthrop people happen to stumble upon this blog and have a CTQR 150 book, let me know. I taking it for maymester and could certainly use one in less than a week if that is at all possible.

I'm going to go lie down now.

w00t

yes, I just said wOOt. Classes are out, and that includes CRTW. Now I might have some time to get back to posting a real blog. If any of you care, I had to use xanga for my CRTW blog. That sucked. Luckily, I ended up with a B on my blog, which is pretty good. I wrote 10 semi-interesting articles if you want to check it out.

well, bed time! I've got to head to work pretty early in the morning, so I'll post on here again later.

peace.
