Green Lantern, Resumes, and Egg Nog

This Christmas vacation has definitely not been a time for lots of rest. 3am mornings, shopping days, doc appointments, cleaning, cooking, church. It's just been crazy. Pretty awesome :) I still haven't rested up from my crazy semester. I'm tired. The atmosphere and altitude down here might have something to do with that. I know my allergies are getting me down too.
I'm getting my resume together. It's not looking too bad. I'm hoping to get it done before I leave and send it off to a couple banks. That would be a good job, right? I don't have a very impressive resume but hey at least I have a degree :P
I'm excited for Christmas :) It doesn't feel like Christmas time though. I don't know what it is. But it looks like Christmas kinda. No snow anywhere that it is supposed to be.
Green Lantern has become my new favorite superhero movie. It is so weird and takes a while to get into it but once you do its AWESOME!
I miss my friends in Iowa. I don't have a life down here :P I love my family. I love being home! But I don't really fit in down here any more. That's ok. Everyone's got to grow up and move on sometimes.
I have way to much time to think about things when I'm down here. So I'm going crazy. I wish I could turn off my brain sometimes.
Next week, I will be in Denver hanging out with my bestie and her other bestie. :) I'm excited. Than for New Years I'm going to be with a couple of my other good friends at an awesome Murder Mystery party. Than maybe I'll go out and see New Years Eve the movie :) So I have plans for when I get back but for now I'm just living day by day down here. Things are always so unpredictable down here :D
I had a horrible headache today :P Tomorrow I go to the dentist. But first me and the fam are going to play the game Solar Quest :) twill be awesome.
Text me peeps ;)

My nose is frozen

Today is oh so very cold. Any kind of walk involves a lot of clothing.
But hey I got most everything done that I need to get done today. I just have tests to worry about and a few little things to accomplish then my college career is done. :)
Tonight I was just miss popularity. Everyone wanted time with the Shelly. I wish I could hang out with everyone at one time. Hot tub party, Birthday party, Machine shed. I just can't be in more then one place at one time though that would be awesome.
So I don't have a job anymore. That's a really long annoying story that I don't want to discuss. But I'm going home on Friday!
Dr. Bob is my favorite teacher here! He is awesome. He moved the test I was supposed to take Friday to tomorrow so I can leave earlier :)
I'm not looking forward to the drive...
This is a short blog but it's all that's kinda gone down in my day and I'm waiting for Sonjia and Chester so I had some free time.
Mazeltav!

School, Sunshine, and Socks

Naming blogs is always so much fun.
So I have learned that I have this love hate relationship with Iowa. I love being here but at the same time the weather really is the pits. I'm use to sunny December days with no snow. I'm use to it being in the 60s or 70s the whole Christmas season. I can never wear enough clothing here. I'm like bundled in scarfs, coats, leggings, and as many layers I can manage. Style doesn't come into play when you're cold lol You would think being here for 3 winters now that I would be use to Iowa weather. But I'm a true south westerner through and through.
I was reminded today at lunch that Monday is my last day of classes of my college career. It is hard to imagine. It still has not sunk in that I will be graduating. Finals then I'm going home. Then after that, no more homework!
This has been a really stressful week. Trying to balance work and school and a social life has just been difficult. Work has been a pain and I realize that I need a new job. I have to decide again if I'm going to stay home or live up here in Des Moines. Growing up and making life decisions is really not that much fun. So tears should be coming some time this week. I'm waiting for it to happen. Anyone want to be around so I have someone to snuggle with? :)
I am so behind on homework and probably should be doing that right now. Finals are coming up so I should be studying too... Weekends have not truly been weekends in a long time. I'm ready to be home and be lazy again.
So those of you who read my last blog, I hope you got a good laugh or you felt special if you were in it. When I get the urge to write, I just go and say whatever lol. I am happy to say I have quite a few good friends and some pretty awesome best friends. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be where I am now.
I'm listening to Christmas music right now and sitting in my room by myself. I'm about to fall asleep but I have no time for a nap. There is no choir practice this afternoon. We had our cantata at church this morning. I had a froggy voice but I still sang, dang it, because I practiced hard for it! It was awesome.
There is a lot in my head right now and I can't write it all out. I probably think to much but ya know.
Anyways, I have nothing witty or funny to say right now so I guess this ends this blog.
Socks.

People, Pronouns, and the color Purple.

So my life has really nothing to do with anything in my title except for the people part. And the fact that I use pronouns all the time, but who doesn't really. And I hate the color purple. But they all start with P and I felt like being a special in naming this blog.
There is really no point behind this blog other then the fact that I'm sitting  in my room listening to my roommates sing Wicked and don't feel like doing homework. I just got back from an awesome time at Olive Garden so I figured I had plenty of time to just blog it up.
So I just want to name a few a my favorite people and list why I love and appreciate them so much.
First off, Meghan Nelson, like my best friend in the whole world. We can talk about anything and everything. We are so much alike and can totally finish each others thoughts and sentences. It's epic. It makes me happy when she visits and makes my time go by so much faster.
Next, Geoff Nerison, also like my best friend. He can make me laugh or smile no matter how I feel. He makes my day so much better just by a text. He can tell what I'm feeling and thinking without me even saying anything. That's a pretty epic friend right there.
Then comes Thomas Payne. My little heartbreaker friend. He is pretty much the gayest straight guy I know which makes him so lovable :) Don't worry I said this to his face and I don't really think he's gay at all I'm not being mean lol He's my favorite little Payne :) He makes fun of me all the time but is still always there to talk to and hang out with.
We also got Samuel Felderman. The crazy Methodist. Just his hugs alone can make your day so much better. He's a good hugger and he always has so many funny stories. He brings laughter into my life.  and he is dating my best friend so he automatically gets put into this equation lol
Sonjia Phipps! Yes, please. I have loved getting to know her better and just hanging out with her. We always have so much to talk about and always have so much fun when you put us two together. Oh and don't even let me forget when you put me her and Geoff together lol oh, good times.
Who could forget the Vances. Really I love them all. Lacy, my former roommate, who shares in my Glee obsession and who I love to talk to! My current roommate, Laura, who is positively insane! But I love coming into the room to hear her talking or singing to herself :) Daniel, of course gets thrown in here just because he is weird and makes me laugh.
My "brother and sister" Nate and Lindsey Cox. They let me come over and do laundry. Nate is there to discuss doctrine and life. Lindsey is the little evil one to rock out to Adele with! They are going to let me live with them and everything.
Of course, my parents. The ones that actually birthed me and raised me. Without them I would not be able to survive nor would I even be there. I owe them so much. I love them more then anything. They have done so much for me and I am so far  past thankful!
My real siblings. My sisters and my little brother. They are so much fun and I always miss them so much. Being mischievous with my little brother and chilling out with my sisters. We may all have different personalites and we don't always get along I still love them very much.
My dorm in general is just thrown in here. We have a plethora of people here and I love them all. They make for interesting times. I love dorm devos and I love our room. We may be a small little group, but we are a little family.
Then there's that one roommate that never really lives here but I love her anyway. I think her name is Natalie Bunjer :)
And Chester said I should add her so I am. She's kinda cool too :) hehe
Man, I just can't name everyone that I love and want to be around. It's just so difficult. But I love you all and if you were not mentioned does not mean I don't like you. I just have a short attention span and get tired of writing lol SO yeah that's it for now :)
