Beyond class event #2

A few weeks ago, my mom and I went back to the carpenter theater and saw the show "The Rat Pack is Back!" I had to go see it for my music appreciation class. Honestly, it was actually really good! I didn't think it was gonna be that good because the songs in the show were from back in the 1960s so I didn't think I was gonna like them. but I actually really enjoyed it! I had never heard of the rat pack before, but it has 4 guys in it with extremely incredible voices. I forgot their names, but 1 was Frank Sinatra and another was Dean Martin. They all sung different songs, all together they sung 22 songs. My mom really enjoyed the show because she knew all the songs so she had a great time. there was one particular song called "my way" and this couple beside us got up and started slow dancing to the song and I thought that was so adorable and cute! They also told us a lot of jokes in between the songs and they were hilarious. At the end of the show, we were able to go meet the guys and take pictures with them, it was cool!

Week 10

This week was soooooooo long! and considering it was the week after spring break, it was a struggle to be motivated to do any school work! Well on Monday, it was a rainy day and I felt awful so I just didn't go to school that day. Hopefully I didn't miss much in my classes On Wednesday, we talked about the story we had to read " the rape of the lock ". and then Sweeney passed out a paper with 5 questions on it and then we got into groups and each group had to answer 1. I thought that was pretty easy. Then, Sweeney made my Friday SO much better!!!!! getting that email saying we didn't have class on Friday made me sooooo excited! I was so glad to come home at 11 and take a nap! And I was glad I could start my weekend early. I went to an engagement party this weekend and it was a lot fun! and I hungout with my boyfriend Brandon all weekend too! I had a pretty good weekend and I hope this week coming up will be good too. And tomorrow we apparently have to register for classes and I haven't even thought about what classes I want to take next semester :( and I emailed my advisor last week asking for my alternate pin number and she still hasnt answered me.......

hope everyone has a great week!  Just a few weeks left till the end of the semester!

beyond class event #1

this is supposed to be last weeks blog, I'm just a little late posting because I've been so busy! I went to my first out of class event this past weekend! My mom and I went to go see the Richmond Symphony: Cirque de la Symphonie at The Carpenter Theatre on Saturday! it was a lot of fun! I don't really get fascinated with watching orchestras but I was wrong this time! But the cirque de la part was my favorite! There were so many different acrobats! There were people doing Aerial skills with ribbon, ring juggling, contortion & dance, aerial straps,electric jugglers, ribbon dances, and many other things! I actually had a great time! it was actually a sold out show, and my mom and I were in the nose bleed section ahaha but they were actually still good seats cause I could still see everything and the chairs were really comfy! There were so many people there, all dressed up in suits and dresses. One girl actually had a prom dress on and a corsage? Every song that the orchestra played went along perfectly with everything that the acrobats did. the Richmond symphony is so talented, i think itd be pretty cool to be apart of the Richmond symphony! Overall, I had a really great time and enjoyed everything!


this was how far up we were!


Before we went to it, we had dinner at  capital Ale house and it was sooooo good! I had Mac and cheese that had 4 different types of cheese in it, and for dessert we had the "dessert pretzel" omg this pretzel was the size of my head and it was SO GOOD!  it's my favorite!



Hope everyone has an awesome spring break! hopefully my next blog won't be this late! haha

I'm very forgetful, and more snow

well I know it's Monday, but I forgot to write my blog for last week, so this is my very late blog haha, let's see if I can remember what we did last week in class. Well monday, Sweeney was sick so we didn't have class! I was SO happy! So I went home and slept. And then on Wednesday we watched the rest of that movie. Friday, we played a really boring game of jeopardy. We didn't want to play at all so we were trying to take up a lot of time messing with Sweeney. It didn't work out and we still had to play jeopardy. Well no one read the book besides like 2 other people in the class, so we pretty much didn't know any of the answers! I think Sweeney was getting annoyed with us,whoops! I was so happy to go home after that, my moms birthday was on Friday so we went shopping and then later that night we went out to dinner! Over the weekend it was one of my bestfriends birthday so we went out to dinner at Kanpi to celebrate her birthday! Now it's Monday, AND IT SNOWED AGAIN. I'm so glad it got us out of school but I'm so tired of snow! I hate being stuck in the house doing nothing! I'm ready to get this week over with, I'm excited for our spring break! 

hope everyone has a good snow day and if you drive in it be careful! :)

I'm a little late on this post but the week was so long and I completely forgot to get on here and talk about something. I don't even know if I can remember what we did this week haha. Well on Monday, we got into groups again and talked about our papers. Most of us didn't do anything cause it was kinda boring. Then after we finished that, we started watching the movie The glass menagerie.  On Wednesday, we watched it again cause its a long movie and we didn't finish it on Monday. I honestly can't really get into it.... I start getting bored when we start watching it...and then I get distracted and get on my phone haha. Friday was very interesting! It was calling for thunderstorms on Friday, which I didnt think it was a big deal so I didn't think much of it. Well it looked dark and scary all day long! and I hate thunderstorms haha especially if I'm by myself! well I went to English and we all started talking and everything and someone said we were under a tornado warning! So I was like just great.. and then all of a sudden it gets really windy and dark and starts thundering.and then we hear the tornado siren go off! Which freaked all of us out! and then out of no where it just starts pouring! long story short, it was crazy and we were all complaining to sweeney and he probably just wanted to scream at all us ahaha. we kept telling him we wanted to leave, but he put the movie back on to shut us up. The storm lasted about 15 minutes and then everything went back to normal. and then it was finally the weekend! I had a great weekend, I went shopping and hangout with my boyfriend! and the weather was amazing on Saturday and Sunday! but of course the weekend had to go by super fast like it always does and tomorrows Monday, blah :( one day closer to spring break though!

hope everyone had a great weekend!

I.hate.snow!

When it comes to snow, I have a love/ hate relationship with it! I love it because it SOMETIMES gets us out of school, but I hate it because it ruins all my plans! So on Monday, I heard we were a getting about 6 inches of snow. I didn’t really think anything of it cause I was really hoping we weren’t gonna get anything. I was wrong. It started on Wednesday; we got about maybe 4 inches of snow? But thank god it got us out of school! I was actually really surprised cause bland hates us and never lets us have a snow day! Then on Thursday, it snowed and hailed the whole day. It was pretty crappy weather and I hated it! I was bored out of my mind and had nothing to do! I literally stayed in my bed all day and watched movies, the struggle haha. But it’s a miracle because bland actually closed again so now we don’t have school on Friday either! 4 day weekend! But yeah Snow ruins everything! And this weekend is Valentine’s Day and me and my boyfriend had all these plans we wanted to do and now we probably won’t get to do anything because the roads will still be messy. Snow is nice and everything, but I hate it ahaha. I hope the roads clear up this weekend so I can get my life back and not be bored all weekend ha


Hope everyone has a good 4 day weekend and stay safe driving on the roads!

Week 4, and my BIRTHDAY!



Soooooo. I felt like this week was never going to end. Thank god its FINALLY Friday! Its been a pretty boring week in English. I have been so unmotivated this week. On Monday, we got into groups and sweeney passed out papers and we had to talk about the 2 stories we had to read, its been a long week so i dont even remember what the books were called aha. That made me tired so i just sat there and did nothing. Wednesday, we brainstormed ideas about our papers that we have to write. We had atleast 50 words written out on the board. He said if we filled up the whole board we could go home early. Well Sweeney was being difficult and started scattering the words everywhere instead of putting the words at the end which aggravated all of us cause we really wanted to go home early! Our rough draft is due monday.... which means i probably wont do it till sunday..becauseeee MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW! So I don’t plan on doing any work this weekend! Sad part is that I don’t even know what I’m doing yet for my birthday L  hopefully my boyfriend surprises me with something! I cant believe ill be 19, I feel like I just turned 16. This is getting boring and im starting to run out of stuff to say haha

Sweeney just showed us a picture of his kids and their SO adorable! I didn’t even know he had kids! I just want to go home so my birthday weekend can finally start! 


Here's the cake my mom got me :)

the library

This past Monday, instead of having regular class, we had to go to the library. it was kind of boring haha. We went on a scavenger hunt to know everything about the library, which we all already knew! We had to look up books on the computer, get magazines, take a picture of the whole group,print things out, and we did other different things around the library. It was useful if you didn't know anything about the library, but I already knew everything.Then we had to present it, everybody was talking and making jokes cause we were bored!!!! I would of rather listened to Sweeney talk then do that! The librarian probably thought we were being rude but oh well... even Sweeney was laughing! I think next time we should take a field trip to the grill so we can eat! I'm always hungry in that class! I'm so glad Morgan came and sat by me cause she made me laugh the whole time and made it more fun! but I do appreciate the librarian taking time out of her day to come talk to us and tell us everything about the library. Everyone have a good weekend! :)

Thanks Bland

Well I've never wrote a blog so this is kind of new to me. So lets see how this goes. This week has been crazy and hectic. Tuesday the weather called for snow, which I actually doubted. Virginia weather is so bi-polar you never know what's the weather going to be! I woke up Wednesday morning, looked out the window and everything was white! but school still WASNT closed! It was opening up at 10! It was so ridiculous, the roads are going to be horrible and icy! I told my mom I was absoutely not going even if i did still have class, I wasn't going to risk my life or my car. Thursday morning was a different story. The roads were still bad but I didn't really have a choice so I still had to go to school. By the way, Im VERY unexperienced driving in the snow! well I was on the way to school, everything going good, until I got to flank road.... I was going around the turn, going really slow, and all of a sudden, the ice took over my car and I started sliding! and then in the ditch I go, I had no idea what to do, I just started freaking out! The day could not get any worse. so I'm sitting in the ditch calling everyone, and then this really nice old man came over to me and asked if I was okay and everything and asked if I had called anybody. I was still freaking out at this point so I didn't have a lot to say, he started thinking, and then he said "what if we try to go backwards and get on that driveway?" I didn't want to risk getting more stuck so I wasn't too sure about this idea. I told him he could go right ahead if he wanted to try it. Well thank god I told him he could do it, he got in and did exactly what he said he would do and it worked out perfectly! I was SOOO HAPPY!!! there are no words to explain how happy I was, I was scared my car was going to be damaged and I would have to pay $200 to get it towed! I can't even count how many times I hugged him! there's people like him in this world that I am so thankful for, considering he was the only one that came to make sure I was okay! and I still was able to make it to my 9:30 class! 


Everybody be careful driving on the roads! :)
